Chapter 176
"I’m very sorry, your Excellency Loren Torino. But my little niece Ariel very much wants to see you-I know this might surprise you a bit, but I hope you can satisfy her such a small wish, just drink a cup of mint tea with her."
So, the black hair wizard appeared in the carriage of the four-wheeled carriage.
Although it is not spacious, the carriage is very delicate. Under the feet is a soft red silk blanket, a small brown round table is placed in the middle, and there are several small drawers on both sides. The faint incense makes the environment in the carriage extremely comfortable.
As for the person who wants to see herself-slightly lifts the head, a delicate girl in a coat kneels and sits on the other side of the round table, playing with the teapot on the table, gently but extremely softly. He is serious, there seems to be a certain sense of ceremony between his gestures.
No, even compared to the little wizard, this "girl" looks too thin and weak, with fair skin and slender lovable body, like a piece of ceramic that can be broken at the touch of a touch. , The stray long hair is also a somewhat decayed ash-gray, the hazy pupils seem to be covered with a layer of tulle, and the blood vessels underneath can even be vaguely seen on both sides of the cheeks.
Loren is not proficient in herbal medicine, and has no research on medicine, but a little girl who is sick to such a degree is probably a great miracle to live.
While Loren was still looking at each other, the little girl was struggling to lift the teapot with both hands, brewed two cups of mint tea, and pushed one of them in front of him: "Please use."
The quiet and small voice is not even easy to be noticed. With a formulaic smile, Loren held up the tea cup in both hands, and humbled slightly nodded: "Thank you."
This action seemed to make the girl feel a little more fond of him, and the white cheeks became more blush. He covered his face with his sleeves while holding a teacup.
Loren squinted his eyes slightly and took a sip from his teacup. He could feel the sight of the opposite person staring at him motionlessly. It was a look that made him quite familiar, but he just didn’t think about it for the time being. Where have you seen it?
The taste of mint tea, Dao Idol, is good. If only mint leaves are added, the taste will be quite tangy, and it will not even be drunk at all; but this cup not only retains the cold fragrance, but also more It is a bit mellow, I am afraid that honey and fresh wicker juice are added, and the cooking process is extremely delicate...
"It's a masterpiece." Putting down the teacup solemnly, Loren's face showed incomparable. Enjoy the smile.
The girl lowered her head slightly, she seemed to be sorry. Loren took the opportunity to lift the teapot and made a cup for her again: "I don't know what you are looking for me?"
The black hair wizard deliberately put the words very slowly and lightly, as if he was frightened. The girl slowly put down the tea cup, looking towards Loren with a little cringe: "You must have found it long ago?"
"Sorry, I actually asked Uncle to let you go with us. As for the reason... "
"You know from the very beginning that I am not a wandering Knight, but a wizard. I think this is the reason, right?" Seeing that the girl couldn't tell, Loren said it for her .
"Yes, because Lotaire's wizard is really unheard-of, so I'm a little curious." The girl admitted generously: "Re-introduction, my name is Ariel, Ariel Corona, from Eboden."
"Loren Torino, from Wimpal Academy." Loren chuckled and replied: "The wizards of Lothar Duchy are basically from there. "
"Then why does Mr. Loren want to go to Eboden to study?"
"Of course, for us wizards in other places, Eboden is It's like heaven." The black hair wizard deliberately said in a very yearning tone: "Don't be disturbed by the world, don't worry about the entanglement of the church, you can freely immerse yourself in the ocean of knowledge, what can it be if you are not a heaven? ?"
"Really?"
Ariel's expression is very subtle, and a trace of regret appears on her morbid and delicate face: "That's a pity, in this world and There is no paradise. When you get to Eboden, I am afraid you will be disappointed."
"Even so, I can claim to be the wizard who has been to Eboden." Loren shrugged his shoulders calmly: "As for whether heaven is so beautiful...it depends on the point of view."
"Like some recent rumors about Eboden, it is like an alchemy potion that can cure all diseases."
black hair wizard pretending to be "unintentional" mentioned: "Who can say that this is not a special miracle? The most important thing is that this is not the descending of the Holy Cross, but us A miracle created by humble humans!"
The girl’s expression was surprised: "I, I thought everyone in Lothar Duchy is very pious, don’t you say that... you don’t believe in the holy Cross?"
"Of course I believe, but at the same time I am also a wizard." The black hair wizard raised his lips: "So I believe that the Holy Cross should be a Supreme Existence, overlooking us all the time. Giants of living creatures; but... I don’t believe there will be any heaven. I am afraid that few wizards will believe this."
"Because wizards are people who live in the present and in the future." Ariel was nodded in agreement, and her pale pale lips showed a slight smile.
"So, do you believe that there are other Spiritual Gods in this world?"
The voice of the delicate girl is very slight, but it seems to have some magic power to make Loren Put down the teacup.
"sorry...what did you just say?"
"In many ancient legends, in addition to the Holy Cross, this world once had many spiritual gods, some evil , Some cunning, some are keen on killing, and some love to talk... But now, they are all disappeared."
"Maybe...They didn't disappear, but hid. "The girl's voice faintly spread into Loren's ears, smiling and filling him with a teacup: "Do you want another cup of mint tea?"
I don't know if it is an illusion. , Loren faintly heard the sound of stomach rumbling with hunger. But in this quiet carriage, there was no other sound except the gurgling hot tea.
"Bang——!"
The car door was slammed open, and the chubby caravan leader looked towards Loren with a look of lose one's head out of fear: "Your Excellency Loren, We are besieged by ghoul!"
"How many?!"
"I don't know, but it looks like there are hundreds of them!" The leader of the caravan swallowed saliva and said: "You are a wandering Knight of Lothar, then you must know how to deal with these monsters?!"
"Leave it to me!"
Nodded Loren A confident smile was shown at him, and the tea cup was placed on the table: "Thank you for your mint tea, Miss Ariel Corona, I may be away for a while now!"
The silhouette of the black hair wizard disappeared from the carriage before the words were finished.
Fetching his sword, Loren just walked to the center of the camp, a black feather eagle landed firmly on his shoulder, and scarlet eyes kept staring at him.
"That girl is not quite right, she has obvious traces of void power on her body." Asriel's voice appeared in his mind.
"Are you sure?"
"...My dear Loren, when did people lie to you?" The boy's voice suddenly became extremely wronged: "Even if you really are Refusing to believe in poor Asriel, at least you should believe in yourself?"
"Are you trying to say that she is a witch?" Loren eyebrows raised: "Like Ayn?"
"Maybe this is the case, but it may also be more dangerous." Asriel's voice is extremely playful: "In any case, caution is always necessary."
"...you seem to be a little unsure That’s right, dear Asriel, you don’t usually like to talk so much."
The black hair wizard narrowed his eyes slightly: "Did you find something?"
"Just thinking I want to remind you, dear friend, that you should be vigilant at all times." The teenager's voice became lazily:
"Don’t forget, the place we are going is Eboden-face For a group of wizards, no matter how careful it is, it is necessary."
