"I almost forgot that humans grow very fast. You are actually Arthur. You were not much taller than me back then. Where is that little bastard George now? Why are you here?"
Sitting on a cliff not far from where the special team was stationed, Arthur and Hobik, two descendants of a wizarding family who had not seen each other for a long time, chatted about the changes in the past four years. When talking about why Hobik appeared in Stowe Bay
, Hobik closed his mouth in a rare move. Just when Arthur was about to use provocation to make Hobik reveal everything he was hiding out of curiosity, Hobik suddenly remembered something and jumped up.
"I forgot about chatting with you. I just discovered that there is a wizard in a team! I ignored it as soon as you got close! Now he has disappeared!"
"What do you want from a wizard? Did Parrish ask you to find one?"
Hobik didn't hear Arthur's question. He changed his position and looked at the location of the special team in the distance to look for the figure he had just sensed, but he didn't even see the figure who was sitting nearby and responsible for the night watch. Could it be that the slender figure was the one I noticed?
Is the wizard here? If I had known about it, I would have been keeping an eye on it. Parrish kept asking me to pay more attention to the strange elemental fluctuations outside. Thanks to my collar button and sensor...
Arthur walked behind Hobik, who was in deep thought. There was no doubt that Hobik was the person next to Parrish. Telling Hobik his identity should not be a problem, so Arthur kept pointing at himself.
, except that he didn't say "Hey, I'm here, I'm the wizard you are looking for". Hobik had no intention of turning back, and while touching his collar button, he was looking for the disappeared Jace. Suddenly
Hobik's back felt like an electric shock, dangerous... Just as Hobik clenched the two hammers in his hands and was about to hit each other, the feeling of electric shock disappeared instantly, leaving only Arthur pointing his little finger at Hobik with a pistol gesture.
gram.
"Don't look at me like that, put the hammer down. Didn't Parrish tell you? I became a wizard, and a lightning wizard." Arthur retracted his finger and deliberately made a handsome pose in front of his old friend.
.
Hobik did not hear Parrish mention Arthur becoming a wizard, but he knew that Parrish had got rid of the traitor wizard around him, and that traitor happened to be the thunder wizard. Hobik
Ke walked around Arthur a few times and observed the differences between Arthur's body and four years ago. Suddenly he remembered that Arthur had just used a short sword to forcibly take the dwarf who made a living from iron and turned around with a hammer.
, this is an extremely difficult thing for ordinary adult men, not to mention what happens to Arthur who is still in the process of growing up. It is only possible for a body that has been transformed by the elemental body and is full of elemental power.
Hobik looked at the boy who was an ordinary child four years ago at a loss. When Parrish told him that Arthur was also a descendant of a wizarding family like him, Hobik didn't feel much at all until now.
After Hobick discovered that Arthur had become a wizard, he never understood the theory of destiny that Parrish always mentioned when he and Parrish were together before. Will he also become a wizard one day... It's just my memory.
The missing dwarf.
Hobik slowly raised the hammer and pointed it at Arthur, his eyes sharp. Arthur believed that Hobik would not do anything to him. At the same time, there was no arc to warn him. The only possibility in this late night was that the murderer was following him.
Came here.
Jace walked out of the shadows indifferently. He didn't care at all what harm the hammer Hobik raised to him could cause him. This could be seen from the dwarf's shaking wrist after he faintly exuded murderous intent.
The dwarf obviously hasn't seen much of the world, not even Arthur.
Arthur blocked the advancing Jace with one hand, "My friend, not my enemy."
"I know, after seeing you chatting for a long time, I know that we are not enemies, but I really want to teach this dwarf the etiquette he should have when meeting for the first time." Jess raised his chin and asked Hobik to put the hammer down.
After Piccolo tremblingly put the hammers in the holsters on his waist, Jace turned to Arthur and whispered, "Say what you should say, don't say what you shouldn't say, and don't let anyone know our purpose casually.
"
"I got it, you'd better go back and guard them quickly. I'll go back in a minute." Arthur could hear that Jace's words clearly had objections to him asking Docmundo to follow them before. He watched Jace walk down.
Behind the hillside, Hobik sat down on the ground, breathing heavily, "Damn it, it's more murderous than Parrish, how could you be with such a terrifying person!"
"I'm sorry Hobik. After staying with him for a long time, it's easy to forget that he is a jackal doctor whose hobby is killing." Arthur pulled Hobik up from the ground, "Now Hobik, I want to know why you are here.
here."
Hobik raised his head and looked up at Arthur, hesitating and unable to say any words. In order to cover up his embarrassment, Hobik blurted out several Dwarvish words angrily. After an inner battle, he gave himself a moment.
Slap, jump up and hook Arthur's collar to make him lean over "
"Arthur, since you are a wizard and an old acquaintance of Parrish and I, I will tell you... Parrish recently discovered that there are some unclean guys on the southern continent who have been interfering with the official organizations of various cities.
Running, he went to the Orc territory by himself, and then he sent me to Nozil City to explore the situation because he really had no manpower. You know, the kind of uncleanness that ruins our lives. "
"What does this mean? Are you saying that someone is manipulating someone like our Lord Edwards of Brighton City, the Elf Queen?" Arthur tried his best to understand the information revealed by Hobik in his own words.
"Yes, but Parrish only found and captured some wind shadows. I don't know the details, but Parrish sent me to Nozil City to find out why the goblins, who always advocate freedom, suddenly attacked.
Elf Farm."
"What does this have to do with Parrish? He's not just a wizard, right?"
Hobik paused again, and finally avoided Arthur's inquiring eyes, "I won't say more to you. I was just curious about why there was a wizard's breath on the way to Nozil City. Now I don't care about your team.
What's the purpose? You'd better go back to where you came from. The water in Nozil City is much deeper than you think."
After saying that, Hobik patted the shoulder of Arthur who had reunited after a long absence, and turned around to walk down the hillside. Arthur grabbed Hobik and said, "If it is really that dangerous, you should know your own role and
No, you're not a wizard, and you don't have the same strength as Jace you just saw. You should know that even if you find some clues, you can't do anything." Arthur's words touched Hobik's heart.
, he knew very well that he was not worth mentioning in front of real power, and now even Arthur could easily subdue him.
Hobik rubbed the corners of his eyes, forced a smile towards Arthur, pushed Arthur's hand away and walked into the shadows, "Goodbye, Arthur..."
Arthur looked at the bushes with light blue soft light in front of him, and then at the sea behind him, where the water and sky were just a line away. Only from this high slope could he see the quiet ocean in the distance. He felt the seemingly perseverance of Hobik.
Feeling helpless, he also lost his family. Like himself, he was carrying the weight of his father's last sight. So why did Hobik work hard to live?
Are the men in black robes...the damn beasts who destroyed Green Village or the humans who burned Rose Manor...
...
Jess did not reveal the night's situation to Buchlinton and others, and did not even mention Hobic again. On the day of the Fire Moon, everyone once again boarded the energetic Vita Bug and was led by Oakleary.
Arthur didn't know whether he should remind Buchlinton and others about the men in black robes who might exist in Nozil City. According to Hobik, the purpose of the men in black robes should be to control and interfere with the lord of Nozil City.
If he makes some decisions or something else to achieve his own goal, then will his group kidnap the goblin Savali and the black-robed man's plan will come to nothing?
Arthur, who was sitting at the tail of the Vita Worm, put Sikka on his knees. Looking at the sharp dagger, Arthur thought that maybe he could find the clues that Hobik couldn't find.
He can do things that Piccolo can't do. He is already a wizard, and he has people like Jace and Docmundo to help him...
Then this plan is of greater significance to Arthur, not only to protect Mrs. Lily and others in Brighton City, but also to declare revenge on those men in black robes.
