The newly added wounds were basically some abrasions and strangulations; The only more serious wounds were on the back.It was the claw marks left by the magical beast.At the same time, Thrand discovers that the dark magic in his body has not been completely eliminated.Thrand asked him to sit on a bench next to him, his back exposed.Legston then turned and leaned back in his chair."
I don't think it's particularly serious, it probably only takes a little bit of a hemostatic grass leaf - shhhLegston finally shut his mouth.Thurland withdrew his hand in satisfaction and turned to the table to look for the right herb."
The claws of this magical beast are highly poisonous, and the venom it spews contains evil dark magical powers.As a warrior, you don't even know how many seeds of dark magic you have gathered in you. ”Thrand did not deliberately criticize his carelessness and stupidity, but only told a fact.But he ignores Legston's ability to seek comfort in his words.Legston skimmed over all the facts, and only grabbed one message that surprised him.He turned his head with surprise in his voice, "So, Your Excellency, you didn't trap me in magic because you were angry, did you?"
”Thrand didn't answer him right away.He chose the herb to stop the bleeding and mashed the leaves of several kinds of detoxifying herbs together, and poured the magic potion he had made together, and rubbed it on the gauze cloth that had been laid out."
Magic is what I do best.But that doesn't mean I don't know the fighting skills of the fighters. ”Thrand came over with disinfectant water and drink, "You made the deadliest mistake of all - exposing your back to the claws without determining whether the enemy was dead or not. ”Legston stood up in shock, "You see?!"
”Thurland pushed him back into his chair, "I don't need to see it myself, you've already told me about these injuries." ”Legston sat down on Thrand's strength as he tilted his head and peeked at the other.Thrand patted him on the head, "Sit down." ”Legston then turned his head back and sighed against his two arms, "You're wiser and stronger than you say." ”"So what?""
Maybe I really don't deserve you.""
You're self-aware.""
But I love you!"
Legston tried to turn around again, but Thrand smacked him on the wound and cried out, "Maybe I'm not as strong as you, but I have the strongest and most sincere love!"
Believe me, Lord Thrand, you won't find anyone who loves you more than I do!
”Thraland scoffed, "You should have said these words again in Karl's face." ”Instead of mentioning Legston's rudeness to call him by his name, he took the gauze that had been smeared with herbs and applied it to Legstone, and then recited a healing magic spell.When the spell was complete, Thrand took the bandage he had prepared and wrapped it around him, reminding him, "Legstone, our enemies are not just from the darkness, you need to be careful. ”Legston secretly liked the other party's indulgence, and also enjoyed the other party's close time with him, but he left that admonishing sentence behind him—what dark creatures, what evil forces, why should such troublesome things be considered in such a wonderful and harmonious relationship?"
Alright, get up and get dressed."
Thurland interrupted Legston's speculation and turned to the side to wash his hands."
Is it alright?"
Mr.
Saint Seiya was a little reluctant to believe it.Thurand wiped his hands and sneered, "You can continue lying on your stomach until Karl comes in and throws you into the lair of magical creatures to be tortured or accept death." ”Legston pursed his lips and slowly stood up and put on his clothes.By this time, Thrand had put on his magic cloak and walked out.Then Legston finally remembered his Arxicles - oh, he hadn't given away the fruits of his elaborate victory!
His Dharma God hasn't eaten breakfast yet!"
Your Excellency, you wait for me!"
He ran back to the magic cage that he had broken, took Axicles back into his arms and guarded him tightly, shouting at the back of the vanished mage.The situation outside was chaotic.Carl sat in the driver's seat with Pique, coldly watching the aggressive Linerta and the border guards in front of the car.At this time their carriage stopped outside the castle of Serk Carlo.The castle is owned by both the Empire of Clondor and the Nurman Empire, and is one of the fortresses against the forces of darkness.It was also the hub of the border fortress line between the two empires.Linerta seemed to know the guards here, and she insisted that the carriage in which Carl was located harbored dark magical creatures, hoping that the guards would be able to thoroughly investigate the carriage and the mage gentlemen in the carriage.Carl, of course, wouldn't be as she would have liked.He protected Pique to one side, and the magic elements in his hands were highly condensed, as long as the other party dared to take a step forward, he would definitely teach them a hard lesson!
Many of the onlookers were swordsmen and guards armed with swords, the backbone of the defense against the dark creatures.The castle fortress had at least 3,000 guards and 2,000 mercenary swordsmen.Everyone present saw the condensation of the magical element in Karl's hands."
Look!
That's the Great Magician!
”Someone exclaimed."
He can summon magical elements without spells, he's a magician!"
A swordsman said."
You know what!
That's the Magister!
A storm of magical elements that only a magus can condense!
”"Oh my God!
Magister!
Aren't you kidding?
We've got a magister here!
”Several swordsmen asked the samurai who had spoken.It's no wonder that the ordinary samurai onlookers were so surprised and couldn't believe it.After all, there are too few magicians in the Western Fantasy Continent now, and there are even fewer people who can grow into a great magician or above.Just like Linerta thought, her status as a high-level magician was already above most people, if Thrand and they really had the strength above the great magician, how could they be such a simple group of four and rush on the road?
In her worldview, a magician should be high, and even if she goes out, she must be guarded by many people.But the mage in the white robe, he didn't look like a mage at all except for a perfect and beautiful face!
He wasn't domineering, he didn't need guards, and he didn't boldly display his magical prowess.What great magician went out with only one fighter, a coachman, and a domestic servant?
He must be a liar!
He deceived his brother and everyone in the team with his perfect face, even stealing her magic crystal and her brother's Imperial Grass seeds!
The author has something to say: Squatting: My daughter-in-law saw my fruit!
Lazy: No, I just saw a stupid open-screen peacock.PS: This article sets up that only subordinate relationships are generally addressed to "adult", and "Your Excellency" is generally used to express respect, or to address strangers as "sir".☆, Black History XI "Your Excellency the Mage." ”The escort who led the team did not listen to the words of the so-called Magus in the crowd of onlookers, he had never seen a Magister-level mage in all his years here.And even if what they say is true, he has to follow his duty to check the other person's mage badge and companions."
Please allow us to see your mage badge, as well as your companions in the carriage."
He saluted Karl and stated, "You know, now that the dark is spreading everywhere, we have to be more careful to avoid the monster invasion.We hope you understand our difficulties. ”"I said I wouldn't stop your inspection, but not now."
Karl had a calm face, "My master is resting inside, and he needs to be quiet."
When he wakes up, I'll let you check it. ”"Who knows if he's resting or making a deal with the creatures of darkness!
I saw the fighter enter the carriage with the dark power of his body!

Guards, they must be stalling for time to give the monster a chance to escape!
”Liner Tower screamed."
As a high-level water magician with healing powers, Miss Linerta, can't you even tell the difference between dark magic and dark creatures?"
The cold and gorgeous and elegant voice slowly recounted the words without mercy, making all the onlookers stunned.They saw the door of the carriage opened, and a mage with a god-like handsome and holy countenance leaned out and walked out slowly.He stood up straight behind the mage who claimed to be his servant, his eyes down at the crowd below.All who were under his gaze felt unspeakable majesty and kindness.This is not a contradictory description, this is the real psychological feeling of all people.The mage in front of him was as majestic as a god, and a single look could make almost all living beings surrender and worship; At the same time, he was kinder than the cold idols, which could be seen from the gentleness and compassion that flowed from his eyes.Maybe he's a god.Some people think that he is so calm and wise, noble and sacred.No one knew that it was the work of the Vision, and even if Thrand hadn't used it intentionally, it still had the power of the gods."
Your Excellency!"
Karl immediately jumped out of the car and bowed his head to Thrand in the car.Peake also hurriedly got out of the car, saluted respectfully like Carl, and then asked about the news of his little duke, "My lord, is my young master still inside?"
”Thrand nodded to him, "He's fine. ”Refocusing his gaze on Linrta, who had been shouting just now and now shrunk behind the guard, Thrander's voice was unhurried, "Put away your despicable thoughts, your identity as a magician should not be tarnished like this." ”As he spoke, his slender fingers pointing at Linlta.All of them were glued to that finger.It was a finger as flawless as white jade, and its tip shimmered white, like a firefly flying in the night, rushing towards Linerta with hope."
AhhThe Lynn Tower, touched by the shimmer, screamed.The crowd of onlookers was startled by her terrible screams and moved some distance.I saw that Linerta rolled on the ground in pain in just a moment, and the magical elements in her body that could not be felt by ordinary people began to slowly agitate.It was a blue circle of water-based magical elements.They coalesced from tiny individuals into blue ballballs of water, circling the painful Linerta as if searching for some kind of breath in her.Thrand withdrew his glimmer and stopped looking at Linerta curled up on the ground."
Retract your ability to sense the elements.From now on, Linerta can only be an ordinary person. ”This is the last tenderness he gives to the other person.Olivia Galia, who was hiding in the magic crystal ball, had already polluted Linrta's soul, and the higher her magical ability, the easier it was to be consumed by darkness, and Thrand had made the most concessions.He should have killed her."
Your Excellency, Mage!"
The head of the guard spoke in a heavy tone, and it was a very serious thing for him to watch a mage hurt another.In the Western Fantasy Continent, because of the rarity and strength of magicians, the three empires jointly promulgated the "Continental Mage Protection Regulations", which included prohibiting any samurai from harming a mage with weak physical defense for insufficient reasons; It is forbidden for mages to fight each other in private; It is forbidden for any force to compel or coerce a mage into submission to a particular force; If some mages commit unpardonable sins, they must be sent to the Temple of Light to be tried by the Pope before they can be punished.The soldiers behind the leader of the guards looked at each other, they all knew the "Mage Protection Regulations", but the mage in front of them was so powerful, he could easily seize the magic sensing ability of a high-level mage, they really didn't dare to go up and offend.The leader, too, knew the gravity of the situation and the concerns of the soldiers, so he stepped forward and put his right hand to his chest.
A knightly salute was made, "Honorable Mage, I wonder why you are giving this Miss Mage such a severe punishment?"
I hope you can give enough reasons for your responsibilities. ”Karl walked up to the leader with a calm face, "The last article of the "Continental Mage Protection Regulations", any creature that has been polluted by dark creatures, whether it is a mage, a royal family, a nobleman, or a commoner, the light mage has the right to execute it on the spot. ”The leader was stunned.Karl pointed to Linlta, who had fallen silent on the ground, "There's a dark totem left behind by the evil mage on the back of her neck, you can check it out." ”Then he saluted his master, "As for my lord, he is a great mage of light. ”There was a commotion in the crowd, shocked by Thrland's identity.On a continent where darkness spreads, no one will be unclear about what a light mage means.The leader was shocked and immediately waved his hand for people to check.When the onlookers saw the eerie and terrifying dark skull mark with their own eyes, they all exclaimed."
Why are healing mages also tainted by darkness?
Isn't she able to heal the wounds left by the dark forces?
”The eyes of the people were horrified.There has never been anyone on the continent who is disrespectful to mages with healing powers, because they are the darlings of the gods.They can heal most wounds, and some are even able to clear wounds left by the dark forces.At the same time, they can also defend themselves against the invasion of dark forces and protect themselves from falling into darkness.But Linerta is not."
She's just a normal person."
Thrand emphasized, glancing at a figure in the distance that was no longer visible, "Her original name was Anina, and she was an orphan in a nearby village called Canilla. ”"Anina!
It's her!
”Someone exclaimed, "That disgusting thief, villain!"
I've heard her name!
”Thrand got out of the carriage and looked at the passerby who answered, "She was bewitched by the dark mage, and her power comes from the darkness, so she is able to drive away the wounds left by the dark power. ”Everyone suddenly came to their senses and saluted Thurland with great reverence.The leader of the guard got the answer he wanted, and immediately invited Thrand to follow him into the city.At this time, someone was puzzled: "What about her brother?"
”Karl looked at Thrande, who shook his head slightly, and Karl replied, "That's an evil mage, and he has fled while you are surrounding us. ”Everyone was guilty and fearful.The evil mages who can bewitch and manipulate others are much more terrifying than those hideous and ugly dark creatures!
Karl handed the prepared mage badge to the leader of the guards, who looked at the magister sigil on it with a shocked expression.They really are Magisters!
The God of Light is above, and this is the first time he has seen the legendary Magister!
And it's two!
Since the battle of the gods two hundred and sixty years ago, the number of mages on the continent has dropped sharply, and less than one in a thousand of them can reach the level of a mage, and those who become mages are even rarer!
He had seen too many mages and warriors in the fortress of Selk Carlo Castle, of which the Magus had only seen two, and the Magister, this was the first time!
No wonder this white-robed mage could easily seize Linerta's magic sensing ability!
The leader respectfully handed the two mage badges back to Carl, barely having time to look at the mage's name and surname on the back of the badge.It's not necessarily a real name, though.The onlookers didn't see the rank of the badge, but the two soldiers behind the leader did.They looked shocked, and then couldn't help but be surprised.One of the soldiers reached out and touched their leader, hinting at him.Before the leader could react, there was an uproar in the crowd of onlookers.The author has something to say: it's not that the female partner doesn't have an IQ, it's because it's just a temptation.Hee-hee.
☆、Black History XII made a commotion of those who originally followed the Linerta siblings.Karl couldn't help but look stunned when he saw those men pushing away everyone around him, squeezing to the front, kneeling down on one knee towards Thrander, with his right hand against his chest, and swearing allegiance with the most standard etiquette.Legston, who had been hiding in the carriage for a long time, saw this scene, and quickly got out of the car, stood beside Thrand and said, "Our team doesn't need a fifth person to join. ”His relationship with Thrand has finally eased and become much closer, and it is enough to have Carl and Pique.Now that he thinks about it, he really shouldn't have brought these people back to test Thrand's bottom line.Yes, the reason why he brought these people back was not because of Carl's stupid sense of responsibility as a warrior, but because he tested Thrand's tolerance and attention to him.It turned out that Thrand did have an unusual patience and attention to him, and Thrand knew everything about what he did.Thinking of this, Legston couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.Thrand saw through Legston's essence at a glance.He was sure that the young man must have been thinking about something terrible in his heart that he couldn't explain.After all, his smile seems to be gentle and elegant, but in fact, it is boundary, non-contemplative, and extremely stupid.So Thrand turned his eyes away, determined to protect his own.Of course, this subtle expression that seemed to be extremely disgusted was fleeting, and no one except Carl, who knew him very well, could not notice it at all.Thurland looked down and rested on the dry ground, "We need a fifth teammate. ”"Huh?"
Legston walked distractedly, not hearing clearly.Thrand gestured to the strange man kneeling at the end of the line.He was the man who was not like the original team members, except for the Linerta siblings.The man was stunned, but after reacting, he immediately got up and knelt down again in front of Thrand, "Your Excellency, Honorable Mage, you have punished the wicked for my friend, and I will always follow you, be loyal to you, and defend you from all dangers and injuries!"
”Legstone looked at him strangely.He didn't understand the meaning of this man's words for a moment."
What's your name?"
Thurland asked the kneeling man."
Your Excellency Mage, my name is Glendall Eric, the Free Swordsman of the Empire of Quetrondo, and you will be the only master I follow!"
He bowed his head, respectful.Thurland nodded, "Get up."
Follow Carl later and he will show you what to do. ”"Yes, sir."
Glendall Eric didn't even have any pause or hesitation, and directly agreed.Satisfied with the swordsman's attitude and loyalty, Karl beckoned him to stand behind the Lord God with him.Those who had not been named by Lord Dharma God looked at each other, they knew that the white-robed mage had made it clear that there would be no need for any more team members, but their goal was Thor City, which was still at least half a month away from here, and they would definitely not be able to reach it safely without a powerful warrior or mage accompanying them.The eldest warrior in the group gritted his teeth and pleaded, "Your Excellency the Honored Mage, please give us another chance. ”He hung his head deeply, hiding the sadness and despair in his eyes.Most of the members of their mercenary squad are from small towns near Thor.Half a month ago, as the captain, he received a commission rich mission, so he gathered all the people to go to the Quetrondo Empire with the mission items.In the eyes of the samurai, this time the task was not difficult.All they had to do was hand over the box to a young man named Morris to complete the mission, so they completed the mission the day after they arrived at the mission location.But something unexpected happened.The night before they were ready to leave for their home, their party was attacked by dark creatures, and they lost two of their companions at once.Maurice and Linerta appear just in time to save them, and ask to go with them to Sol City.Because these two men had a life-saving grace for them, they accepted them without any qualms.But what happened in the next week made them realize their stupidity and naivety.One by one, their companions died.Either by accident or by the attack of dark magic.The older samurai gradually became suspicious, and he told the remaining four companions to watch out for the two Morris, while he secretly observed and tried to confirm their identities.The first and only time he saw Linerta use dark magic was the night before he met Thrand and his party.That night, he sat in front of the campfire and kept vigil as he usually did.As an experienced mercenary, no one falls asleep for no reason during a vigil, especially someone like him as a leader.But he fell asleep that night.His awakening was due to the arrival of a man.That man was Glendall Eric.According to Glendole, he has been following the team all these days.He knew the true colors of the Maurice siblings, and had seen them all hypnotized with their slumber magic not long ago.So he decided to come and wake them up and take them to see the brother and sister for what they really were.The team leader thought about it and rejected Glendall's proposal.He felt that he and his companions were no match for the Morris siblings, so it was better to take this opportunity to escape.Glendall did not refute.After all, the team leader was not wrong.Then, with the help of Glendole, the group avoided the direction where the siblings were, and hurried home in the night.They walked this way for a long time, until everyone was exhausted and could not take a single step.Everyone was drowsy.Glendole was the first to notice that something was wrong, he knew that he had fallen for the trick of the brother and sister, and this time he was afraid that there was no chance of survival.He told the leader his story.He has a mage friend with whom he has a very good relationship.The mage friend had a gentle personality and great talent, and had become the only high-level mage in their town at a young age.He has a crush on her, likes her, and was ready to propose to her half a month ago.However, when he went to see her with the fifty Demon Spirit Stones he had worked so hard to save over the years, she ......
He's dead.Glendoll couldn't accept this outcome, and he went crazy and asked who had killed her.The people of the town could not answer him.All they knew was that the female mage had taken in a wandering girl in her home two days before, and then the girl had left and had never been seen again.And the female mage died suddenly.So Glendole continued to investigate, and finally found the water mage Linerta.Linerta is the girl taken in by the female mage.And the female mage he loves is also a water magician.The connection between this can't help but make Glen Doll think more.So he followed the two men all the way until he was sure that their brother and sister were the murderers of his lover!
The team leader sympathized with Glendall, but he couldn't help him.All of them were trapped in the endless darkness of the night, unable to get out, unable to call for help, let alone take revenge.Gradually, all the people despaired.They leaned together silently, thinking of all kinds of regrets and unwillingness in their hearts, waiting for the coming of death.What happened to them?
They are besieged by dark creatures that emerge from the endless night, accompanied by Rylta's terrifying laughter and menace.But in the end, they didn't die under siege from the creatures of darkness.Linerta has cast evil magic on them, and no one can confide the truth, let alone disobey her, and can only be forced to submit to her.When Legston appears, Linerta orders the dark creatures to attack her, and she controls everyone in a play.Although the scene was not of the mercenary squad's will, they did cause problems for Legston's team.The team leader was very sorry for this incident and felt hopeless.He could sense the control of the white-robed mage.That's his instinct as a mercenary.He felt that the white-robed mage could not forgive him and his team."
I know what you want.It's just that you may not be able to set foot in the place where I'm going next. ”Thurland explained to him, "I will ask the owner of Serk Carlo Castle to find you a suitable guide. ”The leader jerked his head up and looked at Thrand in disbelief."
Your Excellency......
Thank you!

”Not only the team leader, but the whole team admired Thurland.For his kindness, for his generosity.The people watching around didn't know the relationship between the mercenary team and Thrand, they just thought that the white-robed mage was really a kind and benevolent perfect mage.The leader of the guard took the opportunity to invite the mercenary team again, "Maybe the city lord will want to meet you, you can come together." ”Thrand nodded to the leader of the guard in thanks.Pique turned back to catch the wagon, and a soldier on the other side enthusiastically offered to help him.Peake grinned and didn't refuse.Legston had no control over what was going on, and he didn't understand what Thraland was seeing, so he wanted to roll his eyes, but he restrained himself.He kept up with Thrande, only to hear the leader of the guard talk to the Lord Dharma God as he walked."
Your Excellency, our castle has endless food and comparably comfortable bedrooms.If you're tired from the journey, you might as well spend a few more days in the castle – trust me, we'll be sure to entertain you with the most delicious food and the sweetest wine. ”Thrand did not immediately promise him."
Thank you, I'll think about it."
The leader of the guard saluted his heart as a sign of gratitude.Although the other party did not immediately agree to him, such an attitude had already shown enough respect for him as a guard, and he should give the same respect.They made their way to the deepest part of the castle, where the inner fort was located.There was a man who walked briskly, his steps swift and powerful, his tall and strong, with an extremely serious expression on his face, and he was about forty years old."
Lord Hodgson!"
The leader of the guard stepped forward and saluted, and introduced Thrand who had stopped, "This is His Excellency the Magister from the Empire of Kertrondo, and he is a light mage!"
”When the leader of the guard spoke, his eyes lit up and he looked very excited.Legston's face sank, it seemed that something not very good had happened in this castle, and it seemed that this matter would need to be solved by a mage with light magic like Thrander.That's why the leader of the guard exposed his emotions so excitedly when he faced his commander.☆, Black History Thirteenth Serland was not arrogant to the point of not saluting this general, he bowed slightly to the other party, and the other party also saluted him."
Thank you, Your Excellency, Venerable, for coming.This is the blessing of the God of Light!
”The other party held the hilt of the sword at his waist, and even when he spoke to Thrander, who was a light mage, he did not let his guard down.Thrand nodded, "I can see that the dark is spreading much faster here than elsewhere.If you allow, can you give me a tour of this solid castle?
”"Absolutely!"
The general stepped aside and stretched out his hand to invite His Excellency the God, "I am Sagilian Hodgson, the commander of the Selk Carlo Fortress; Now that the castle of Serquekalo is temporarily in my hands, you can visit everything here as you like, and as the temporary owner of the place, I will accompany you. ”Thrand tilted his head slightly and bowed, his eyes drooped slightly, his eyelashes as long as butterfly wings brushed a row of shadows on his eyelids, his long golden hair slipped a little in front of him because of the movement of his head, and the midday sun shone down, illuminating his skin almost transparently, and making him even more handsome and holy.General Hodgson was stunned for two seconds, and looked away with the action of leading the way, "Your Excellency Mage has worked hard all the way, do you need to rest first?"
”As he spoke, he waved to the castle guards who had retreated, signaling that they could leave.Seeing this, Thrand immediately introduced General Hodgson to the mercenary squad behind him, and asked him to send someone to escort them home.General Hodgson did not hesitate to agree, "As a subject of my Nu/Erman Empire, I am obliged to escort them home."
Your Excellency, Master, you are so gracious. ”"Thank you for your help."
Thrand whispered praise to him.They had a great time talking along the way.Thrand doesn't even have a smile on his face, but it doesn't make people feel unapproachable.On the contrary, anyone who passes by and sees him will always be involuntarily attracted by his holy temperament, handsome face, and elegant manners.Some even followed them uncontrollably, just to take a few more glances at this elegant, noble and handsome Mr.
Mage.General Hodgson also had a crush on him.With such an elegant and noble Mr.
Mage, he couldn't be defensive of him at all.Even his right hand had fallen from the saber unconsciously.After a few moments, the sun shines more brightly, and the early summer weather is already hot and hot.They walked deeper into the inner fort, where pedestrians had all but disappeared, except for patrols on their regular tracks.They saluted General Hodgson and greeted him; General Hodgson asked Thraland again, "Your Excellency, the servants have prepared a sumptuous meal and a comfortable bedroom for you to enjoy, perhaps you will need it now?"
”He noticed that Legston was still stained with blood on his body by Thrland's side, indicating that His Excellency Mage had not had a smooth journey.Thurland noticed General Hodgson's gaze, and he glanced sideways at Legston, and before he could speak, he saw Legston take the opportunity to extend his hand."
I'm more concerned than resting about what is causing the dark power to spread in the castle.Let me take the liberty of asking, Lord Hodgson, have any strange people your soldiers come into contact with lately?
”Thurland lowered his eyes, dodging Legston's outstretched hand just right, and replied to General Hodgson instead.Legstone was very aggrieved in his heart, but he didn't say it."
Strange people?"
General Hodgson hung his head in thought, and after a moment seemed to remember something, and then began to walk in the opposite direction with Thrander, "Speaking of strange people, the whole castle is only found in the outer fort.The inner fort needs to be searched by the guards layer by layer, and there are no suspicious people entering or leaving for the time being. ”Thrand nodded, not speaking again.General Hodgson didn't continue to talk, his brow furrowed, as if he realized something's wrong."
Your Excellency, Mage."
As he walked, Legston quietly reached out again, and this time Thrand didn't dodge, but let him hold his wrist.Legston then put the vindictive Ashikles into his hand.
