The green fruits of the lemon tree had grown to the size of egg yolks, and you could smell the slightly bitter fragrance under the tree.As soon as the sun crawls out, it takes away the last shred of coolness in the air.Sue looked at me with wide eyes in disbelief, and then asked with some uncertainty, "You swear you're serious?"
”Sitting down on the wooden chair across from the round table in front of her, I nodded affirmatively to her and said, "I'm serious." ”Su was even more puzzled: "But I'm just a priest apprentice who has been deprived of divine power, you see that I can't walk very conveniently, what can I do for you?"
”"Wield your shadow powers!"
I said to her."
But you know, the dark magic of the shadow system is forbidden magic, and it is impossible to see the light, as long as I exude a little shadow magic, I may be sent to the gallows of the temple inquisition."
Su smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and then said to me, "Do you really think that I can push a wheelchair to help you go to the jungle to collect magic herbs?"
Jijia, I know you want to help me, but I can't. ”The reason why shadow magic is called forbidden magic in the Roland continent is that they restrain all light magic and divine magic, in some cities with temples and sanctuaries, many people believe in gods and despise dark and shadow theorists, although many times, under normal circumstances, only thieves, assassins, scouts, spies and other professions need to learn the skills of the shadow system, but they are often always suspicious of people, some thieves and liars in the city always need these survival skills, Therefore, some warriors or mages who have learned shadow skills do not have a good reputation.Sue's situation is even more peculiar, she is involved in the events of the Dark Arts Retreat.Now that the entire villa has completely fallen, it is said that the people in the villa will all need to be tried by the inquisition, and if they are really not guilty, they will be released.Last night, I got the news from the Knights that everyone in the lodge had been arrested.Su is a priest apprentice with divine power who was abandoned by the gods and degenerated into a shadow physique, although she has a strong affinity for the shadow element, but she has not formed a magic pool, and there is no shadow magic power in her body, so when she casts shadow magic, she needs to transform her body into a shadow form, so that the whole body becomes a huge magic pool.Therefore, Sue's power was very strong when she cast shadow magic, and a veteran magic potion scholar like Ignaz accidentally fell into her hands.However, if Su is found to have the power of the shadow system at this time, it is a very troublesome matter, and it is easy to be convicted by the judges of the inquisition, and will be considered Ignaz's assistant, or a successful test subject with the power of the shadow.In short, if you are targeted by those guys, you will lose your freedom, and you will be sent to the gallows if you are far away from the experimental research institutes set up by the temple or the sanctuary, or if you are judged to have no value from the gods.Sue's concern was based on this, and she told me that her magic would not see the light of day.We sit under the lemon tree in the backyard of the Su family, the fence wall made of wooden fence is not too high, we can easily see the pedestrians on the street in the backyard of the Su family, even on weekends, there will still be many people who rush to the vegetable market to buy some fresh seasonal vegetables, this is the edge of the rich area, people here will not be stingy with time and money in order to enrich their tables, some people can even afford to hire a maid, I can see Aunt Susan carrying a vegetable basket every day, twisting her fat, Slowly moving down the street like a mountain of meat, rushing to the vegetable market not far away.I don't think anyone would have imagined that two young men and women sitting under a lemon tree looking to gossip were not talking about beautiful clothes, gorgeous magic, grand balls, lots of homework, delicious cakes, or anything else, but about black magic."
But you trust me, don't you?"
I asked Sue.Su nodded seriously, and then said to me with some uncertainty: "I just want to remind you that these things you said are far beyond my ability. ”Then she wondered where I was going to go, and said to me whimsically, "You won't just find a mountain and leave me to fend for myself."
Then he said: You need me to collect the magic herbs in those mountains for you.This joke is not funny at all!
”Sue lowered her voice and said angrily to me, she looked like a lioness when she was angry.She was worried that people on the street would hear our conversation, so she kept her voice soft.Her eye sockets are a little blue, and it looks like she didn't sleep well yesterday.I said to her lightly, "I have a good place, but you have to get used to enduring some loneliness, a new level of privacy, where no one cares what kind of magic you use." ”"What you say is true?
Do you have the right plane for me to go?
”A look of yearning appeared in Su's eyes, some rich planes are like the private territories of noble lords, they are very precious things, in the poor world, the word plane is also very vague, after all, magicians do not have enough magic power to support some ordinary people to go to new planes to develop and build.The extremely precious portal is just for some warriors to pass through, to open up territory in new planes, and for some managerial talents to build their own estates.It can be said that some planes are very personal things, unless it is some particularly large planes, there may be other portal channels, generally speaking, a magician finds a rich plane, after establishing a stable portal, it can be sold, the value of the general plane is equal to one-fifth of the development value of this plane, even if it is a very barren plane, those magic crystals that can be exchanged are enough for a magician to live comfortably for a lifetime.In these planes, there is no legal constraint, and the lord of the plane is actually the king here.I told Su to let her hide in a certain plane, and the place I was talking about was naturally Xinliu Valley, but the worst point there was that the laws of space were very perverted, requiring only warrior apprentices or magic apprentices below level seven to enter normally.I think Sue can definitely achieve this, her shadow magic does not have any level when she is not in a state of transition, just like now, she is not the slightest different from ordinary girls, so I guess that a girl like Sue may not be limited by those laws.Then, I began to paint the big cake of Xinliu Valley for Sue, but I deliberately ignored the name of this plane, and only described the characteristics of the flora and fauna there, as well as the characteristics of the terrain and weather changes, so that she had a preliminary understanding of that place.The two of us sat under the lemon tree, and I babbled all morning, making Sue feel that it was actually a beautiful world like a fairy tale, and Sue could hide in it and live a quiet life, and no one else would disturb her.She asked every detail carefully, and I also introduced the greedy goblins of the underworld of Xinliu Valley.Of course, I originally wanted her to live in the Rock Settlement, the Underground World is not good, those goblins are not good neighbors, not to mention that the Mountain Rock Gathering has some suggested infrastructure that we students in El City have not built, a wooden platform built by the stream, where we can do laundry, I like a very simple wooden house there, if I have enough time, maybe I can repair that cabin very delicately.The only thing to worry about is that there may still be those saber-toothed tigers in the mountains and forests, although we academy students have been plowing over and over again in this mountain forest of less than eight hundred miles, and most of the saber-toothed tigers have already been killed, but there will definitely be those who survive, and these fierce beasts are still a threat to Su.I said a lot, and Sue's mood gradually became cheerful.She stroked the long hair around her ears, her eyes wandered, and she said to me with a little hesitation: "Jia, you don't need to comfort me. ”She raised her head and looked at my puzzled eyes, then said with a wry smile: "I didn't know what it was like to stay in heaven and hell before, and it may be no different to die, but then I heard Ignaz tell me that taking poppy juice can make me feel what heaven is and what hell is."
I was convinced that I would become a priest in the future, but I just needed to wait quietly for the messenger of God to take me to heaven. ”Su seemed to be reminiscing, her eyes were filled with fear and anticipation at the same time, and she said to me: "When Ignaz tempted me to drink poppy juice, I drank it without any hesitation, and then, I really felt that unforgettable heavenly feeling, and then there was that unforgettable torture that I can never forget, I felt that it was the hellish world, and I was really scared, so scared at that time!"
”After a short pause, I didn't know how to comfort her.She asked me again, "Jia, do you think I really want to go to hell when I die?"
I think my sister must still be waiting for me at the intersection of heaven, but I must not see her, I don't want to go to that hellish world alone. ”She looked a little depressed, as if she were a loser, and said to me: "So you don't need to convince me at all, at least Anne is with me here, I just don't know what to do in the future, but fortunately you can help me with ideas!"
”She looked at a loss, and for Ignaz, there were very few people who could withstand the potion of the Shadow Body.But for Sue, the power that the Shadow Body brought to her did not bring any joy at all, but was like a burden."
But speaking of which, your wheelchair is really a big problem!"
I said to her.Looking thoughtfully at her wooden wheelchair, it was naturally very heavy.Originally, before that, Anne had bought her a lighter one, but it was abandoned in the cottage behind the temple and there was no way to bring it out.After what happened yesterday, we feel more intimate.She looked down at her wheelchair, frowned her curved willow eyebrows, and then lifted her skirt slightly, finally revealing her legs in front of me, although when I carried her, I could feel that her legs were broken at the knees, but now I really saw the scene in front of me, and I knew that fate was really so cruel.Sue's legs are very perfect, just like her two sisters, she has a very good figure, but unfortunately, these two round knee-length breaks, and the broken wound is not wrapped in other skin, the medicine here is not as good as I imagined, but directly regrows a layer of pink flesh at the crushed place.Looking at her injured leg, I can imagine how much pain she had suffered in the first place.Unexpectedly, after going through so much, Sue finally became stronger, at least she could face her legs in front of her friends, and no longer hide in her long skirt.Then she lowered her skirt, looked up and asked me with a miserable smile, "So now, are you sure I can help you collect medicine?"
”"Why not?"
I looked at her and asked."
Oh, take you somewhere, I'll let you know that things are nowhere near as complicated as you think, maybe we can go to the magic shop and buy a set of magic tools, do you want to try it?""
Do you think I can do it?"
Su asked seriously."
Yes," I replied in the affirmative.I don't know how many times I've seen the pair of fake legs made of pure gold as the main magic material and engraved magic pattern array, but of course I know that it is very suitable for Su.I was also overjoyed to see that Sue did not object to me taking her to the magic shop, I squatted down in front of her wheelchair, patted myself on the shoulder and let her lie up, her body was very light, I barely felt the weight of her body, I ran out of the yard with her on my back, Cindy followed behind me, chasing and asking me where I was going.Sue didn't care, and put her face on my back, as if I would take her to the ends of the earth and follow me.At the intersection, I saw Anne walking back with a bag of white bread and some fruits and vegetables, and when I ran out with Su on my back, she asked me loudly, "Where are you going?"
”I said to her, "Oriana's magic shop." ”"Wait a minute!"
When Anne heard me say this, Sue looked very calm, immediately said a word to me, and then rushed home with the ingredients in her arms.The red hair and the long skirt are flying in the wind at this moment, yes, all the time, the most difficult knot in Sue's heart to untie is not to mention the Oriana Magic Store in front of her, because before Sister Guoguo left, the promise to Su was: Sue!
Waiting for my sister to come back after making money, buy you the best magic prosthetics in Orianna's store, and let you live the life of a normal girl, there will be a pair of beautiful Sue who always felt that she killed her sister Guoguo.Unexpectedly, Su had already figured out something at this time, and after being imprisoned in the villa for nearly two months, the original fragile heart had matured and knew what kind of future he needed."
The matter of the new plane is a secret belonging to the two of us, don't tell anyone else."
I carried her behind my back and continued to say to Su: "But when you get over there, you have to take good care of yourself, I will help you prepare some shadow bodies, but you must not use too much of the dose you take at one time, you must stop in moderation, this thing is very addictive" to be continued.
