Wizarding World, Ring 132.
A mundane country, a run-down village.
At the edge of the forest outside the village, a young man was collecting firewood, looking up at the sky from time to time.
Even with the naked eye, one can see the changes in the sky, which is simply shocking.
The terrifying whirlpool continues to expand, seeming to occupy the entire sky, and then swallow everything in the world.
Rumors about the vortex abound, all about interpretations of this change, and most are related to disaster.
The kingdom also has measures to deal with such situations, which is to arrest those who spread rumors.
Anyone who dares to talk nonsense will be arrested, first paraded in the streets, and then thrown into prison.
If you anger the captured knight, your head will even be chopped off on the spot, and the body will be fed to the knight's monster.
That horrific scene left a psychological shadow on many bystanders.
Countless unlucky people lost their lives as a result, and the residents became more honest and no longer dared to talk nonsense about heavenly things.
When it comes to your own life, no one dares to make a joke.
Anyway, even if the sky collapses, it won't have much to do with the people on the ground. At most, some debris will fall, and then smash the skull or the house.
Whoever it hits will be unlucky.
The expected results were achieved, and the officials were very satisfied. The turmoil caused by the time and space channel was easily quelled.
This method is the most effective against uninformed common people. As long as a few heads are chopped off, the rest will keep their mouths shut.
The boy thought so too.
If you can fill your stomach and keep your property, other things have nothing to do with you.
Only recently, groups of knights would appear in the village from time to time to search around.
They were menacing and looked like they were going to kill someone.
There was also the wizard, who was wearing a black robe and had to be respectful even to the knight, and called all the villagers together.
I don’t know why, but the villagers have become very strange, like stone puppets.
The Lord Wizard asked some questions, such as has anyone seen the secret wizard, has anyone seen the intruders, and is there anyone who serves them?
If something unusual happens, it must be reported in time and no concealment is allowed.
The young man had experienced this kind of thing several times, and he was very confused. Why did the wizard always ask the same questions?
Because he didn't understand what was going on, the young man secretly asked other villagers, but they all looked confused.
Indicates that the young man is stupid, why is he asking something that has never happened?
The young man was a little dumbfounded. He asked several villagers, but they all got the same answer.
There was no Lord Knight, no Lord Wizard, and there had never been any gathering of people to ask questions.
Getting the same answer made the boy doubt himself. Is there really something wrong with his head?
This made the boy very worried, because in the past, similar madmen would be imprisoned in a stone house in the forest.
Every three days, food will be delivered until the madman dies.
The young man didn't know very well what other places were like. He only knew that the three lunatics in the village lost their lives in less than a month.
The villagers like to gossip and talk about these things secretly. Some people say that the lunatic was killed by a demon, and some villagers say that the lunatic was deliberately poisoned by the food delivery person.
The young man had seen that stone house. The narrow space could only allow people to stand, not even squatting down to sleep.
The purpose of this may be to exhaust the lunatic so that he can no longer attack others.
Even a good person would probably lose his life if he was locked up in a stone house for a month.
The young man shuddered at the thought of being treated as a madman and locked up in a stone house.
He shut his mouth obediently and never asked similar questions again.
The young man was concentrating on picking leaves and preparing to pound them and blanch them for dinner when a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Wearing a black robe, he looked very similar to the wizard.
The young man was startled by the sudden appearance of a stranger, and subconsciously stopped what he was doing.
"Can you see me?"
The man in black robe opposite asked in a cold voice, but the young man was a little confused.
Of course I can see it, but I don’t know when you appeared. It was like a ghost.
Such an idea came into his mind, but the young man would never dare to say it, otherwise he would be inviting trouble.
Such adults are extremely noble, and you must not be negligent in the slightest, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
"can see."
The young man answered the other party's question with an anxious tone.
"Yes, it means you are spiritual and should have a certain talent for cultivation.
Just having talent does not mean that you can practice, nor does it mean that you will achieve something in the future..."
The man in black robe sighed, full of emotion and vicissitudes of life.
The young man remained silent, but he was very nervous and didn't know what to do.
He wanted to leave quickly, and prayed that this adult would leave quickly, otherwise this depressing feeling would be too uncomfortable.
It's just that the adult in front of him doesn't seem to want him to leave.
"Since you have spirituality and can see through ordinary magic disguises, you are of some use to me.
In that case, just follow me. "
As the man in black robe spoke, he waved to the young man, turned around and walked towards the forest.
The young man wanted to refuse, but his body was out of control and he followed closely behind the man in black robe.
what happened?
Why is my body losing control?
Who is he?
Where are you taking me again?
The young man was extremely frightened and wanted to struggle to escape, but was unable to do so.
Unable to make a sound, he could only follow the man in black robe obediently and walk deeper into the forest.
Soon the young man discovered that wherever the man in black robe walked, the weeds and trees would automatically give way.
In the past, when entering the forest and encountering these thorns, the boy's body would be cut with many wounds.
After being stained with sweat, it will be painful and itchy.
The young man was very envious of such an ability and wished he could have it too.
When you go into the forest to cut firewood or collect wild vegetables, you can save a lot of pain.
As for the identity of the man in black robe, the young man also made some guesses, and he was most likely to be a wizard.
But the young man couldn't understand why the superior wizard would like him, a little orphan.
If you think about it carefully, it's wrong. If you are really a wizard, why aren't there those majestic knights in armor around you?
Why did you go into the forest?
The young man was thinking wildly, and unknowingly, the surrounding scene became more and more unfamiliar.
This made the young man more and more frightened. He looked at the surrounding scene and confirmed that this place was clearly deep in the forest.
Why did we come to the depths of the forest after we had just walked for a short time?
The young man was puzzled, but he had no chance to ask, and he didn't dare to say anything.
"Okay, this is it."
While the man in black robe was speaking, he took out a bunch of items from somewhere and tossed them towards the sky.
These items spread out and turned into streams of light, shooting in all directions.
The boy soon saw that a large cloud of fog had risen from the surrounding forest, obscuring the area.
The birds in the sky suddenly changed directions when they flew to this area.
The wild beasts in the forest, as they approached here, also turned around and went elsewhere.
When the young man saw this scene, he immediately felt enlightened.
The area I am in has "disappeared" in the forest, so those animals will take a detour.
