Ever since she learned the true name of the sword in her hand, Laura couldn't put it down even more. Gaines Cullinan and I have been chatting about Merlin and ancient magic. For some reason, I vaguely feel that the ancient magic and I are
The fate of magic is not that simple. It is even possible that ancient magic can help me regain my magical power and catch the evil mage.
After Laura helped me re-treat my wounds over the bonfire, she went back and leaned against the fallen wood and fell asleep. I fiddled with the bonfire alone and talked about my life with my ancestors.
I said to Gaines: "Mr. Gaines, now I am the only one left in the Corinan family. If I die, the Corinan family will disappear completely. Thinking of this, I feel very sorry for my parents.
I’m also sorry for your ancestor.”
Gaines smiled and comforted me: "Henmo, there are no nobles who enjoy the same fate forever. All families will eventually end. Don't care too much about these things. The most important thing is to live freely and happily.
To take a step back, there are no real aristocrats. My teacher Merlin is just a child from an ordinary peasant family, and Julio Heli, Yaris Olvia, I are all children from ordinary families.
Being lucky enough to be exposed to magic is already the greatest luck. The most important thing is that you have to live a life worthy of yourself."
I thought Gaines was just a fool who could only have fun, but I didn't expect that his open-mindedness meant that he could see through the world of human beings and his emotions and joys.
Suddenly, Gaines asked me a strange question: "You said that your parents died to protect you before you had any memory. What exactly happened?"
I thought for a while, then shook my head: "Actually, all I know are scattered things, basically just hearsay. I only heard that when I was just born, the Clinan family was killed by a man named
The man called the Evil Mage and his followers wiped out our family, and my parents died one after another to protect me. I was also rescued by Laura's father, Dale Hurley."
"Evil mage, a strange name. But to be able to wipe out our Corinan family, his magic skills must be quite profound. After all, to be called evil, except for the evil witch Morgana who fought Merlin back then, no one dares to call themselves evil.
Evil. No matter how many evil things many people have done, they still dare not give themselves the name of evil. Henmo, you must be careful in the future." Gaines gave me his final and sincere words.
I nodded, Gaines looked at the sky, and then stretched out: "It's almost time, it's time for me to go back and stay in your body to sleep. By the way, even though you don't have magic control in your hands now,
, but you can hold the Sword of Mordred to defend yourself. I will teach you how to use the elemental power in the Sword of Mordred in the future. I’m sleeping. I won’t send it away.”
After Gaines finished speaking, he turned into an element and floated into my body. I picked a bonfire, made it a little brighter, and added some branches. Gaines said before that this forest was very safe, and now I also
There is no need to keep vigil all night, and you can lie down and rest without any worries.
The next day, I was woken up by Laura. She had already boiled the water. I picked up the cup and took a sip. It was sour and sweet, and I couldn’t help but give a thumbs up: “Yes, Laura, this water is delicious.
.”
Laura said proudly: "Of course, if nothing else, as a young lady of the Hurley family, I have drunk too many good things. I picked some red berries and rowan fruits from the forest and cooked them in it.
Together with these biscuits, it should be enough to fill our bellies this morning."
After eating and drinking, Laura checked the wounds on my body. The outside had healed, and the tissues in the body needed time to recover. After packing my things, I picked up the Sword of Mordred and followed Gaines's instructions.
, Laura’s hand-drawn “terrible” map heading towards Olvia Mountain.
We stayed overnight all the way, and two days later, we walked out of the forest. After walking out of the forest, we still saw the familiar scenery of the Scottish Highlands outside. I set up a wooden stick and judged the direction based on the shadows. Not far after I walked out, I seemed to hear something nearby.
The sound of a horse neighing. If you listen carefully, there is also the sound of metal hitting.
Laura and I felt something bad, so we hid quickly and slowly approached the source of the sound. When we got nearby, we found a group of bandits looting a village settlement. We counted thirteen bandits, and the leader was a
He was a big, bald man with a round waist, while the adults in the village were using farm tools to resist the attack of these bullies on horseback. When Laura saw this, she grabbed the dagger in my hand and was about to rush out. I quickly held her down, and we two children went up.
Aren't you going to die? But Laura couldn't care less. She jumped up from behind and kicked the bandit at the back from his horse.
I looked at my hand and saw that she had forgotten to bring her dagger! Oh no! I had no choice but to rush out. Laura was agile and jumped all the way to the villagers and said to them: "Don't worry, I am a knight.
I will protect you."
It's the same old thing again. The villagers obviously don't feel particularly at ease with a little girl, and they kindly advise Laura to leave quickly. But the current situation has become like riding a tiger, and Laura can't leave even if she leaves.
When the fat-headed and big-eared bandit leader saw such a young girl like Laura, he instantly became lustful and turned around to greet his men and said: "Haha, you guys, you gave me such a beautiful woman for free. We will have fun next."
, capture her alive, and then bring her, everyone and property in this village back to the camp, and let’s have a good time~”
Although Laura was scared, she had received too much education in chivalry and did not flinch at all. I was holding a dagger behind me, but I didn’t know how to use it. I don’t have the ability to control magic now, so how can I use this dagger?
Woolen cloth.
"Henmo, just use the sword as your hand and use this sword to release the elemental power. Why are you so stupid?" Gaines started complaining in my mind again.
I quickly jumped out from behind and shouted: "If you don't want to die, leave quickly, otherwise I won't be polite."
The robbers looked at me like I was a fool. The atmosphere was quiet for a few seconds. The robbers laughed loudly: "Haha! Where did this untouchable come from? Huo Ge, I tied him up. Today I will use his
The skull serves as a wine glass!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a little man rushed over on horseback with a scimitar in hand.
When I saw this, I hid aside and stood up in embarrassment. His knife was already in front of me.
In desperation, I quickly swung my dagger at his sword. The dagger blocked his scimitar, but he was too strong and heavy to hold it back. I was much smaller in comparison, and I was about to lose my strength.
He began to laugh wildly and wickedly.
I peeked to the other side and saw that the other bandits started attacking again.
Feeling anxious in my heart, I roared, and the power on the dagger surged. A stream of blue water gushed out from the dagger, and then wrapped around the bandit named Huo Ge under my control as if consciously.
He was wrapped in a water balloon and could not break free. Soon his eyes turned white and he stopped moving.
Without thinking much, I rushed over to rescue Laura and the others.
Although Laura is young, her fighting skills are very good. At this time, she has snatched a long sword and is struggling with the bandits.
"As expected of Knight Commander Allen's favorite personal disciple."
I just sighed when I heard a bandit shout: "Dais! Huo Ge is dead!" The bandits turned around and saw me standing behind them holding a dagger with the power of water element constantly pouring out from the front.
"So it's a magician? That's interesting. Get out of the way and watch me chop off this little magician's head and see if it can grow back." The fat-headed and big-eared bandit leader named Dais jumped off his horse and held a sword in his right hand.
, raised his shield with his left hand and rushed towards me.
At this time, there seemed to be infinite power in Mordred's sword. I silently recited the few spells I knew and the feeling I had when I fought against the firecaller Melb that day. I held the sword horizontally in front of me.
Pushing forward with both hands, a wall of water rushed out of the sword.
Although Dais was fat, he moved quickly. He dodged to the right and smashed the shield towards me with his left hand. I quickly deflected the shield, but the dagger was also knocked out of my hand by the shield.
Before I could turn around to pick up the dagger, Dayis had already rushed in front of me, holding the sword in both hands and slashed at my head. Just when I closed my eyes and waited for death, countless blue water needles were shot out of the dagger, and he
Unable to dodge, his right eye was blinded and his chest was shot by numerous water needles. He fell to the ground in pain, rolling and wailing.
I was so frightened that I froze in place. Seeing that the leader was injured, the other bandits did not dare to act rashly. Laura warned the bandits at this time: "Keep what you robbed!! Others get out of here. I'll let you do it next time."
There’s no going back!”
The robbers looked at each other, dropped their things, lifted Dais onto their horses, and slipped away in embarrassment.
After Dais's painful howl faded away, I found Laura. The villagers cheered like heroes and welcomed us into the village.
I had just walked on the edge of life and death, and I was still frightened. When I looked at Laura again, she was happily swarmed into the village by the villagers. I later learned that this village was called Erdo, and that group of bandits headed by Dais
, had come several times to snatch their food, and the villagers were so disturbed that they finally had to take up arms to resist.
