Norman could no longer see Shannon's position. The curvature of the short slope blocked his view. The two could only rely on applause to judge their next move.
The two children agreed that clapping once means moving forward, and clapping three times means attacking. From Norman's perspective, if the other person's back is facing her, then Shanon can judge whether it is time to move forward based on the condition of the other person's head. Norman
Lying on the ground, he kept getting closer to the boulder. For a moment before, he felt the aura bursting out from behind the boulder, but now the aura was so weak that he could hardly detect it.
Bang. Another soft applause came from the other side of the boulder. This was a signal to move forward. Norman was less than five meters away from the boulder. He lay down and looked at the boulder. The boulder stood on the slope, horizontally and vertically.
They are all three meters wide, and there is a very conspicuous one-meter-long crack in front of the boulder. Such a huge boulder will completely block the next person. The only thing that can be seen is the man's gray cloak falling on the grass, which is particularly conspicuous.
Norman applauded in response, and then continued to crawl towards the boulder in response to Shanon's signal. The sense of threat came over him again, but when Norman saw the cloak shrinking in half, he instantly realized that this was a bluff.
This reminded Norman of the lesson about beasts he had heard from his godmother Elise at this time last year.
Beasts are different from the orcs. Beasts follow their own instincts. Simply put, they want to eat and survive. In order to survive, beasts will show different appearances at the appropriate time. If it is to protect food, protect themselves
, even when facing monsters stronger than themselves, they will choose to bluff, trying to find an opportunity to escape or fight hard.
Now the person behind the boulder must have sensed him. The most likely reason that he did not appear directly in front of him was that he was seriously injured. Norman took a deep breath. The opponent was at the end of his strength. Now was a good time to move forward. He applauded and informed Sha
Nong, hunched his back and moved forward behind the boulder. In the six months since he got along with Cavendi and Niss, compared to the period of CazNorman, Norman has changed a lot in both his behavior and the way he deals with enemies, especially in
Under Zuo Zuai's education, Norman understood that there are no absolutely kind people in this world, only people who have the same interests in a short period of time.
When encountering a stranger in the wild, the first thing to do is to ensure that the other person will not threaten you. Adhering to this creed, Norman mustered up the courage to rush towards the boulder. Bang, Norman bumped into a person. He covered his head and shook his head.
He took a defensive posture, but found that he was bumping into someone else, but Shanon who was supposed to be outflanking him on the opposite side.
Shanon held a knife in her hand and rubbed her forehead with a puzzled look on her face. She asked in a small voice: "What's going on? Why are you here?"
Norman was furious: "I still want to ask you? Wait, isn't the crack on this stone on the front?" Shannon heard this and looked at the boulder. In his impression, the boulder was facing his direction.
There was an extra long crack, but just after Norman applauded, the two of them immediately rushed behind the boulder. Next, Norman appeared next to him, and he appeared in front of the boulder again.
Norman lowered his head and looked behind the boulder. There, half of the cloak seemed to have never moved. Norman rushed towards the cloak, only to see Shanon who was behind him suddenly appear in front of him, and he collided with Shanon again.
Full of heart.
Sensing something was wrong, Norman got up and shouted: "It's witchcraft! Shannon, there is a wizard here!"
Norman had come into contact with some witchcraft in Kaznoman. His father could use the air to directly cause thunderstorms, his godfather could decompose objects into their original sources, and Nice could use pollen to divine the future. His first reaction was the guy behind the stone.
He is a wizard, or an awakened wizard who can use witchcraft. Shanon also knew that this matter cannot be explained. She watched Norman running behind the boulder. Norman only overlapped with the boulder for less than half a second. The next moment Norman
It rushed towards him from another direction, and the crack in the front of the boulder always faced Shanon and Norman.
Shanon is an orphan. He has never entered a college and has been wandering since he was a child. Naturally, he has not been too affected by the times. Most of his prejudices against wizards come from a few words. For example, the wanted notice on the notice board, or seeing someone being arrested on the street.
The captured wizard was wearing a black titanium collar and was dragged on the ground like a lowly beast. So Shanon didn't have any idea of being superior to wizards, and after getting along with Nisi, he came into contact with the one percent wizard.
That mysterious world, old gods, relics, and witchcraft.
Shanon is not afraid of these mysterious things, or in other words, he is not a person who blindly trusts others. He always finds wizards interesting.
So Shanon got up from the ground and subconsciously shouted: "Wizard! We are not here to hurt you!"
After saying these words, nothing happened around them. The breeze blew gently across the grass. Norman and Shannon stayed where they were, confused.
Next, a woman's voice came from behind the boulder: "You...where do you serve?"
Norman and Shannon made eye contact and decided that Norman would answer. Norman raised his voice to show his confidence: "Rom Town, we are from the Birmingham family."
This is how Zozo tells the two children how to protect themselves outside. Among the older generation in Roma Town, everyone has more or less interacted with the Birmingham family. The two children are now on the grassland south of the town. Norman
Giving out the name of Birmingham was also based on geographical considerations. If it were in South Stella City, Norman would only tell the mermaid that I was just a passerby.
The woman pondered for a moment: "It seems that you and those guys are not in the same group. I will remove the witchcraft. You should turn your backs to the boulder first." Exposing your back to the enemy is a very dangerous behavior. Norman took the lead and half-turned around, gently
After applauding twice, Shanon nodded, and tiptoed down the low slope with Norman.
This is a signal to retreat. Wizards are not just good people. This is the case with the mysterious wizard who once sneaked into the passenger ship to inquire about the relics. If Nice hadn't used her companions to distract the mysterious wizard, it is still unknown whether the people of Birmingham could have reached Port Royal.
.
The woman's voice came again: "You'd better stay where you are. My witchcraft can change the direction of space at will. From the moment you see my cloak, you have triggered my witchcraft."
Shannon gestured with her hands, meaning to ask Norman if he knew about such witchcraft. Norman recalled a little and nodded. He remembered that there was a wizard at Kaznoman Academy who also had passive trigger witchcraft.
A third-year student who left the academy the year before last, an awakened wind wizard with a first-rate reputation in witchcraft. His ability is that if the other person says the word "leave" to him, then a hole will open in that person's body and absorb everything around him, and
That student could stand in the distance and control the size of the opening by drawing lines with his hands. He was also a well-known murderer among the orc tribes in the Southern Continent. If Parrish hadn't put him on the right track, he would have been committing murder and smuggling goods.
The surrounding breeze that was originally blowing towards the top of the slope changed its direction. Shanon tugged at the corner of Norman's clothes: "The wind direction is wrong. Has the witchcraft been lifted?"
"Yes..." The person who answered Shannon was not Norman, but the woman behind the boulder. The woman wearing a gray cloak and a leather jacket had black hair on her head, her face was full of scars, and her profile was still...
Seeing the teeth, her right arm was hanging down and wearing gloves. She followed Norman for a long time, then looked at Shannon after a moment of confusion: "Yes, I have lifted my witchcraft... I didn't expect it."
It’s two kids.”
Norman knew why the woman was confused. It was just like when Nice met him at the beginning. Wizards could sense each other. The woman thought Norman was a wizard at first, but the elemental power in Norman's body was too rare, causing the woman to
I wonder if I feel wrong.
Shanon looked at the woman's right arm: "You're injured."
The woman shook her right arm with her left hand and laughed at herself: "Yes, I was bitten by a wild dog, and now I can't control the leakage of my elemental power. If I walk into a town, there will be a group of people in less than five minutes."
The inspectors are surrounding me. I see that you are not so hostile to my identity. You won't happen to be able to help me find some medicine, right?"
Norman was about to nod in agreement. He always had a good impression of the wizard and saw no threat from him. Norman returned to his innocent appearance. At this time, Shannon took a step forward and said: "What benefits can we get? Although
We won't hurt you, but you have to know that helping you is very harmful, and if you are discovered, we will be in trouble."
The woman sighed and whispered something about the little devil now. Then she put her left hand into her jacket and took out fifteen pieces of cloth with the head of the sixth emperor printed on it. She waved them in front of the two children: "This is on me."
That’s all. This one, you are responsible for buying me medicine and so on. My shoulder bone is broken and I can’t get the goblin’s hemostatic agent and coagulant. You should at least get some nutritional supplements or something. You will each take half of the rest.”
Shanon's eyes widened. One Buga can buy a pound of apples, which can be exchanged for eight Eds from the Southern Continent. He can get seven Buga, which is higher than the monthly sales of the Sunset Tavern. No.
Man's eyes widened. In this era, what could be more tempting than food and money?
The woman handed the fifteen bugas to Shanon with satisfaction, and then looked around. Under the low slope was a dry river bed. Opposite the river bed was a low mountain. There was a protruding mountain within the sight of the three of them.
The rock can temporarily block the sunset. The woman pointed there: "I will stay there all night. You can come to me at any time, but believe me, you'd better not do anything for personal gain, otherwise I will make you regret it."
Shanon took the buga and patted her chest after hearing the woman's words: "Don't worry, ma'am, people in Birmingham are trustworthy."
Norman echoed from the side: "If you are worried, you can always go to the Sunset Tavern to find us, we are always here."
