Although it is already the summer season, it is still quite cool in the mountains at night.
Vivian was leaning against the fire. In fact, her body was not necessarily very cold. But she looked around and saw the dark woods, so lonely. There were also waves of owls hooting at night, which made such a single little girl inevitably feel sad.
anxious.
Just as she tightened her robe with her hands, she suddenly heard the sound of rolling stones on the ground behind her. Vivian turned around suddenly and saw a tall and thin shadow slowly approaching in the dark night. That
Wearing a long black robe, he was hidden in the night, like a ghost.
Vivian immediately became nervous. She jumped up suddenly, looked at the person, and stammered and screamed: "Yes, yes, who is it!"
The visitor's footsteps were light until the light of the fire reflected on his face. Seeing this familiar face, Vivian couldn't help but froze.
"Poor little silly girl." Du Wei took a deep breath and looked at Vivian with a smile: "Why are you here?"
Seeing clearly that it was Du Wei, Vivian's expression changed instantly. She finally screamed and ran towards Du Wei. She tripped over a stone on the way and staggered. Du Wei
Wei quickly hugged her, and Vivian bumped into Du Wei's arms without leaning to either side. Her head hit Du Wei's chin, causing Du Wei to almost bite his own tongue in pain.
, smiled bitterly and said: "Sure enough, why are you still looking so stupid?"
But Vivian seemed to have seen a savior. She raised her head and looked at Du Wei carefully with her big innocent eyes, blinked her eyelids a few times, and then suddenly let out a "wow" and burst into tears.
Du Wei helped the crying little Vivian sit down and took out a bag from his arms. It was just some dry food he bought in the town before. It was just two rough noodles, but
Vivian's eyes lit up as soon as she saw it, she quickly grabbed it and started chewing it hard.
Seeing this pretty little silly girl struggling to eat the dough and stretching her neck from time to time due to choking, Du Wei felt distressed and funny at the same time, so he took out a skin bag filled with water and handed it over.
"Why do you look like you haven't eaten in a few days?" Du Wei sighed helplessly.
Vivian raised her head cautiously. There was still some dough left in the corner of her mouth. Du Wei reached out his hand and flicked it away for her. However, Vivian had already put down the dough and curled her lips, with a look of aggrievedness on her face:
"I. I, I really haven't eaten in two days..."
Du Wei was stunned by this pitiful answer and looked at Vivian carefully. This cute and loli girl had a face full of grievances, and her eyes made people feel distressed.
After careful interrogation, Vivian finally told the reason why she was here intermittently.
It turns out that more than half a year ago, after returning to the mainland from an adventure at sea with Du Wei, Vivian said goodbye to Du Wei and returned to Gandolf's secluded place. After returning, Gandolf asked about what happened to his female apprentice outside, and then
I set out to go out, and went to find Du Wei on the way, and took Du Wei to the frozen forest...
Vivian didn't know this, but she stayed alone in Gandolf's hermitage to look after the house. Before Gandolf left, he didn't say what he was going to do or when he would come back. Anyway, the old guy
She often goes out for no apparent reason and stays away for many days. Vivian is used to it.
But this time, before going out, old Gandolf was particularly gentle to this young apprentice and explained several things carefully.
The most important one is: "If I don't come back in a month, you go to Pegasus Town outside the imperial capital. There is a Prancing Horse Stream outside the town. You wait until the night of June 15th..."
Vivian is very aware of her teacher's weird temper. The teacher often does some strange things and never explains it. Vivian never asks, and since the teacher said this this time, Vivian also
So I did.
However, although Vivian is simple, she is not a fool after all. She also vaguely noticed that the teacher was leaving this time, and she seemed to be worried. When she said goodbye to her, there was something vaguely wrong in her eyes. After the teacher left, little Vivian felt in her heart
The more I think about it, the more scared I become, and the more I think about it, the more confused I become.
Then she counted the days and waited day by day. After waiting for three months, the teacher did not come back. Every day after that, Vivian felt that her heart was pounding and she was restless day and night.
In the end, she waited at home for a full four months, let alone three months, and the teacher never came back. Finally, in desperation, Vivian had no choice but to leave home.
She is a little girl. In fact, since the last time she went out, she felt that the outside world is really complicated and scary. According to her temperament, it is best to stay at home and live a peaceful life in seclusion.
It was the safest place. But this time, the teacher didn't come back, so she had no choice but to go out.
Such a simple little girl came out of her home all the way. Fortunately, she was wearing a magician's robe, so no one dared to mess with her. She wandered all the way to the vicinity of the Imperial Capital, and then found Pegasus Town, where she stayed.
Lived in the town.
Naturally, there are some people with evil intentions. Seeing such a beautiful and innocent little girl, they get angry and have weird thoughts. But Vivian is still quite powerful after all. She has also met a few gangsters in the town and other bad people, and she casually kills her.
Chased away.
Just living in the town for such a long time, she encountered a big problem:
No money.
Magicians are also human beings. Magicians also need to eat and have a house to sleep in.
She lived in a small hotel. Although the owner saw her as pitiful and reduced her rent a little at first, he couldn't keep her like this forever. In the past few days, Vivian was so poor that she couldn't even afford bread.
, I had no choice but to move out and wait alone on this "Brokeback Mountain" for three days and three nights.
Seeing the black ash on the little girl's face, the white magician's robe was scratched by branches in several places. Du Wei sighed and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "How come you have no money?"
Vivian blinked: "Old, the teacher left some money at home, but, I spent it all."
It turns out that old Gandolf would leave a bag of gold coins at home every time he went out. Although the place where Vivian lived in seclusion was in a hidden mountain, Vivian also often went out to buy some daily necessities.
But old Gandolf was not a rich man. He never came back after going out this time, and the money he left behind was spent by Vivian in the past few months.
"Don't you know that those gems and crystals you are carrying are very valuable?" Du Wei smiled helplessly: "There should be some shops in the town. You can just sell a piece of magic crystal and you'll be fine."
Enough for you to eat and drink for several months."
But looking at Vivian's confused look, Du Wei understood that this girl probably didn't understand these things.
Du Wei knew in his heart that old Gandolf knew that he would die before he left home. He asked this female apprentice to come to the imperial capital and wrote a place in his suicide note, apparently asking Vivian to come to him.
means.
Du Wei thought for a moment and took out the magic prop left by Gandolf: "Do you recognize this?"
Vivian shook her head.
Well, it was Gandolf's idea that Vivian come to join him, but...where is the person Gandolf said could be his magic teacher? Couldn't he be referring to this girl? It shouldn't be her, otherwise, Gandolf
The man mentioned in the husband's suicide note had a weird temper, which obviously meant something else.
A big problem at the moment... Du Wei suddenly thought that Vivian might not know that Gandolf had passed away!
Looking at the little girl holding the pancake and munching hard, Du Wei suddenly felt very uncomfortable and didn't know how to tell her the news that her teacher was no longer alive.
Finally, when the moon came up and a bright moon hung in the sky, Du Wei patted Vivian and said with a smile: "I'll show you something interesting."
He inserted the magic item left by Gandolf on the ground, and then forcefully unscrewed the cap at one end.
This is obviously something similar to fireworks made with magic potion.
A green light suddenly spurted out from inside, like a meteor, and rushed into the sky like a flare. A green fireball instantly illuminated the entire forest in the sky, and then slowly fell. The green light looked like
Somewhat weird...
Looking at the green light, Du Wei suddenly had a vague idea in his mind!
Green...could it be...
From the sky, the green fireball fell extremely slowly, lasting for several minutes. Du Wei waited quietly.
Finally, when the green light completely disappeared, in the distance, just behind the hillside, there was suddenly a faint sound of a flute...
The sound of the flute is very strange, the sharp sound is not harsh, it seems to be a bit melodious, but the sound is melodious and the tone is very weird, as if there is no pattern, it is just a wave of sound coming, but people can't help but listen to it.
I feel very comfortable, and at the same time, this voice falls in my heart, but it makes people feel a little sad...
When Vivian heard the sound of the flute, she had a strange expression on her face, as if she had heard the sound of the flute. She looked at Du Wei, jumped up, and shouted: "Sister??"
At this time, through the moonlight, I saw a figure slowly floating over from the woods behind the hillside, like a ghost.
Under the moonlight, Du Wei could clearly see the person coming.
