Wizard From Afar - Chapter 1174

Early in the morning, the barracks.

From the moment he woke up in his dream, Loren was ready to start… Because there was nothing to prepare for.

Magic wand… Now he doesn’t need it. If it weren’t for habit and mentor Dalton, Loren, the “caster” in his left hand, might not wear it.

Potion… From the moment the second valve is opened, any potion will no longer have an effect on itself;

Bright silver and sleeve sword… Are the same habits. It’s always strange not to carry a few weapons;

Dawn… The ancestral sword of the Turin family is also one of the most handy weapons used by Loren; After hesitating for a long time, I decided to leave it.

As for others… Tibetan green and silver edged robe, silver and white ribbon collar, dark black and gold buckle riding boots… The dress that once impressed Lauren appeared at the head of his bed in the morning, and all other clothes disappeared.

Without thinking about it, he can guess who did it.

After wearing it, Loren walked out of the camp, and the familiar figure immediately came into view.

When his eyes stopped on someone, Loren couldn’t help raising his eyebrows.

“What’s the matter? Are you so surprised to see me?”

Holding his shoulder, Isaac took it for granted: “black cross serliol, the war between the void and the material world, the truth of the destruction of the Dragon Kingdom… This is a once-in-a-lifetime. There will be no shop after this village! Do you expect me to stay out and watch my younger brother go alone?”

“No.” Loren, with wide eyes and stunned expression, took it for granted: “I thought you would be caught by Lina desallion before you left. Under her surveillance, I watched me go.”

At the same time, Loren had to try his best to restrain the corners of his mouth that wanted to rise madly.

“Well, I can hear the sarcasm about ‘fear of women’ in it; but dear brother Loren, I have a little confidence in your elders.” Isaac proudly raised his head: “she is my girl. How can I let myself obey her orders?”

“Of course! Promise is not within the scope of the order, so I made a lot of promises before leaving – let’s discuss first, and the adventure time can’t exceed half a year, otherwise… Er… Let’s assume that those bad things won’t happen, okay?”

Looking at Isaac scratching his head crazily, the black haired wizard who could no longer control his mouth made a little arc.

“I… unlike Isaac, I know what you’re going to do. I don’t understand that.”

A young voice sounded, and Lucian, with double swords on his back, stood in front of Lauren, his eyes burning, as always: “I only know one thing, that is, no matter what you do, you need a sword.”

“Lord Loren, I am your sword.”

After two seconds, the black haired wizard said, “if you remember correctly, Lucian, you are already the heir to the Principality of El mans and the vilz family.”

“Yuli weiltz, my brother… He will have a better heir, not to mention…” a trace of banter flashed on the gray pupil’s face:

“Let’s assume that those bad things won’t happen, okay?”

Lauren smiled dumbly, while Isaac next to him stood up helplessly, with an expression of “my stem was robbed”.

The smiling grey pupil boy stepped back half a step, and the dark pupil moved to the last figure. Waiting there was a pair of clear and transparent sapphires like lake water.

The two people with opposite eyes said nothing because they didn’t have to say anything.

No more cheating, no more leaving one person, no matter what you face… Fight side by side.

You promised me.

I will keep my promise.

Slowly looking back, as like as two peas, a friend who looks exactly alike, shrugged, “let’s go.”

“Let’s go.”

…………………………

“Nothing else, just talk to him.”

Brandon, dressed in a black cloak and wearing an iron crown, stood in the middle of the road and drank away the Knights and guards who wanted to come forward, facing Lauren’s four eyes:

“Everyone – including the dukes, earls and nobles, no offense – disappeared.”

The people with different expressions looked at each other, looked at Brandon’s motionless and indifferent expression, and left one after another.

“To tell you the truth, I still don’t trust you…”

Lauren raised his hand and interrupted.

“We’ve agreed, haven’t we, your majesty?”

Brandon snorted.

“Well said… How can you be so sure that I will keep my promise? Don’t forget who I am. I’m Brandon de sallion, the disgraceful Prince – I’ve killed more bad guys than you!”

“Er… Did you forget that I fought the battle of blood skeleton Valley?” Lauren “kindly” reminded: “there are only demons, there are no less than 300000.”

“That… That’s more elves than you’ve ever seen!”

“The battle of eboden?”

“Ancient wood forest spirit, I’m not talking about Azores, but the spirit of ancient wood forest!”

“Um… Envoy to the fog moon court?”

“What about the dragon? Is it OK?” Brandon took the lead in stealing the Dragon without giving Lauren a chance to speak. “Don’t talk to me about the undead Dragon… There are no more than 20 dragons on Jufeng mountain!”

“I don’t think this is comparable, and the example you give is particularly unreasonable…”

“Shut up, shut up, shut up! I’ll be unreasonable. How about I’m the emperor! The emperor can be unreasonable!”

“Good, good…”

Lauren surrendered with both hands.

They looked at each other for a moment and sighed at the same time.

“You planned that from the beginning, didn’t you?”

Breathing heavily, Brandon’s neck and cheeks turned red and stared at the black haired wizard fiercely: “Brandon de sallion is a madman. Even if you say more, he will be stubborn to the end, so give him a step to make him satisfied, and he won’t be crazy, right?”

“Do you know who used to deal with me in this way?”

Brandon whispered, “Eckhart de sallion… My omniscient father.”

“If I want freedom, he will let me leave with my sister-in-law; if I want prestige, he will give me the battle of jiejieshan; if I want power, he will give me a seat in the former Imperial Cabinet. If I want military power, he will let me conquer the great green sea for him…”

“Meet my ideas step by step, and then let me follow the good track set by him… Go down!”

“Brandon…”

“I know how you want to persuade me. I don’t need you to satisfy me. I know… But I’m still unwilling.” Brandon still said to himself:

“I’ve lived in a cage all my life and been cheated by others all my life. When I finally think I can finally act according to my will, I know it’s a scam… You won’t know how it feels.”

The dark haired wizard frowned slightly, looked at Brandon’s self mocking smile and hesitated.

“I know.”

“Huh?”

Brandon was stunned:

“What?”

“I said… I know. Being caged and deceived… I know very well.”

“Well, how did you escape?”

“I didn’t escape. I’m still in the cage.” the black haired wizard slowly said, “I just learned how to deal with the people who take care of the cage.”

“Why?”

“Not so much. Why… If you insist, you are afraid to escape but don’t know what to do. You will be locked back in the cage again.”

Lauren stared at him motionless: “but if you know what to do, you don’t have to escape; if you know what to do, no one can lock you up.”

Stunned Brandon stared at the black haired wizard, unable to say a word.

Lauren glanced at him, smiled, nodded slightly and walked away.

“Loren!”

Brandon, who was stunned in place, suddenly opened his mouth, shouted to the black haired wizard and startled the people around him.

Stopping, the black haired wizard glanced slightly behind him, and a pair of red pupils turned to stare at himself.

“This sentence…”

“You made it up temporarily and lied to me… Right?”

Shrugging his shoulders, Lauren looked at him with a particularly sincere look:

“Which one?”

“Puff!”

A few seconds later, Brandon’s mouth rose uncontrollably.

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…”

The atmosphere of joy filled the quiet barracks.

Brandon smiled brightly and for a long time, until he was almost out of breath, curled up on his knees and climbed on the ground, drooling at the corners of his mouth and tears at the corners of his eyes.

“You… You may or may not know, I was going to prepare a cage for you.” Brandon, panting and lying on the ground, said intermittently:

“But just at that moment, just at that moment, I suddenly realized… I didn’t have to do that at all.”

“Think about what the ‘black cross’ serlio wants to do. What he wants is to completely control the world, control everything, and turn everything into something he can change and manipulate at will.”

“What does this mean? It means that even if the world becomes another, we can’t feel it at all, or even notice it – this is what you said, what you told me personally, and no one can know, because our thoughts and memories are only in his mind.”

“So who will really be affected, will really feel all these changes and understand the pain?”

“Only you… Loren Turin, only you who opened the second valve, can feel all this pain and personally understand all this cruelty.”

“So as you said, this is only your war.”

Brandon stared at Lauren, motionless in his eyes, and said word by word in an indisputable serious tone:

“You… Are doing everything you can to protect the cage that binds you.”

At that moment, the barracks were silent.

The black haired wizard, who did not change his face, put away his eyes and walked away under the gaze of the red haired boy.

…………………………

Outside the barracks, the familiar figure was still waiting for him.

Charlotte stood alone by the road, without an army, escort or even any entourage; Simple smock and cloak, holding a round and long package, ordinary like a little woman sent away from her hometown.

“Don’t worry, I’m not trying to persuade you to stay.”

Looking at the black haired wizard with a wary face and hesitant to come forward, the countess smiled dumbly and looked unusually gentle: “I believe countless people have said those words to you, right?”

Loren dodged his eyes and smiled at the corners of his mouth.

Smile. Just keep smiling when you’re embarrassed.

“Dalton kand, Ayn, Edward and Brandon… If everyone fails to persuade you or acquiesces in taking risks alone, it will prove that it is irreparable; even if I really want to do that, even if it succeeds, there will be no happy ending.”

“In that case, let’s go.” Charlotte, whose eyebrows were stretched and gentle as water, looked into the black haired wizard’s eyes and handed the package in her hand:

“I brought what you forgot.”

The package opened and revealed the handle of the big sword “dawn”.

Lorraine’s mood sank slightly: “Charlotte…”

“This is the family sword of the Turin family and the sword of Duke Byrne… It belongs to you.” Charlotte looked at each other and murmured softly: “when the black Duke went north, he didn’t leave it, and you can’t either.”

“Take it, do what you want to do, and add glory to it; if… If you can’t bring it back… You can’t bring it back!”

There was no need for the power of emptiness, and Loren could feel the pain from the trembling of Charlotte’s voice.

There was nothing I could do but look at the pain from a distance.

“I see.”

Nodding, the dignified Lorraine took the sword in Charlotte’s hand and carried it behind her: “when I finish my work, I’ll bring it back.”

Looking into those serious eyes, Charlotte nodded slightly.

“Remember, every Duke of Byrne and every Knight king is an example of their children and an example of their blood that can be proud of – Byrne’s blood with Turin can be continued and condensed by these legendary stories, glorious or tragic heroes.”

Her voice trembled. Charlotte pressed her hands on her lower abdomen, raised her head, looked at Lauren very seriously, and said in her most powerful voice:

“If… If you don’t have the honor to make your children proud, don’t come back!”

“I see.”

Charlotte, who nodded slightly, gave Lauren a meaningful look and turned away.

The dark haired wizard breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the corners of his mouth.

I didn’t expect Charlotte to be so reasonable and choose to support herself… If she doesn’t have the honor to make her children proud, don’t come back… It’s really

Huh?

Child, she said… Child?

Whose child?!

No, no, no, it may just be a rhetorical device, an exaggeration… Er, um, for example, ‘let the children be happy’, ‘let the children show a smiling face’, ‘let the children grow up happily’… Did she forget to add “we”, right?!

What’s going on?!

Lauren was stunned, and his expression was like a bolt from the blue.

He quickly turned back, but Charlotte’s figure had disappeared… Lauren, who was more sober, recalled her meaningful smile when she left, and immediately understood something.

“So it is, so it is…” the black haired wizard muttered to himself, his face filled with a nervous and inexplicably expected smile:

“Charlotte Turin… You are my cage.”
