The next day, until the sun rises three poles.
In a very suitable place for camping far away from the cemetery, when Anne and the druid girl Doric had a comfortable sleep, had breakfast and packed their bags energetically, the three of them had three pairs of dark circles under their eyes. Only then did Edkin, Holgay and Simon, who were listless and exuding a stench, stagger, as if their bodies had been hollowed out, and returned to this temporary camp like zombies.
Then……
Before Little Anne, who was gloating about his misfortune, or Doric, who was feeling a little bit intolerant, could ask for help, the three fell asleep and slept until the afternoon. It was not until dusk that they woke up faintly and fell asleep. Face starts again.
As for what the three of them experienced last night, Anne could imagine it, so she didn't ask.
And the Doric is about the same.
Since she escaped from the battlefield and increased the workload of the three of them, she was wise enough not to ask more questions, let alone inquire. She just occasionally cast pitiful and teasing mischievous looks at the three of them.
Anyway!
That incident became a tacit 'taboo' among the five of them. For the sake of team harmony, Anne and Doric did not ask for two days in a row how the three of them dealt with the endgame of 'dead bodies everywhere'. He just rode slowly and steadily towards the next destination with his three companions.
Because they already roughly know the specific whereabouts of the 'Dharma-Breaking Helmet', and now, they are looking for the last guy who touched the helmet, if that guy is still alive?
But in fact, the other party is indeed alive and well!
It is reported that he is a Ser who has the same mark of Sazastan as the red robe witch Sofina? However, the other party is not an evil wizard, but just an ordinary Serb who escaped from 'Sazastan'. However, why the other party can survive to this day and is said to be still very young is unknown.
Anne didn't know the specific reason, and didn't want to know. She didn't understand why Uncle Edkin, Aunt Holgay, the idiot Simon, and the Doric lady would react to something that looked like a place name. The name 'Sazastan' is so scary.
Anyway!
After walking for two days, the group of five people and a bear finally stopped in front of the ruins of a ruined and ancient castle about one kilometer away this evening.
"It's getting dark, and it's going to rain heavily tonight."
"Are we going in?"
"You must go in!"
"Look, there seems to be no more suitable place to camp nearby, and the weather is not very good."
"It looks like it was destroyed by the war. It must have been many years ago. I wonder if there is any danger?"
"Don't be afraid of danger!"
"What haven't we seen before?"
"The night before yesterday, I was surrounded by hundreds of undead!"
"Too!"
"Simon! Remember to use magic to detect when you get close. If there is any danger, please inform us in advance."
"??"
"I've told you many times that magic is not omnipotent, and detection spells also have many limitations!"
"Can you just say that place is okay?"
"I!"
"Anyway, I didn't see any evil aura there, so it shouldn't be dangerous."
"Are you sure?"
"See for yourself, are there any vehicles or horses inside?"
"ah!"
"Indeed, it looks like a caravan..."
After discussing and gazing for a while, they looked at the increasingly gloomy dark clouds in the sky and felt that it was likely to rain heavily tonight. Edkin, Holgay, and Simon, who did not want to sleep in the wild and become drowned rats, made up their minds. I became more and more confused, wondering whether I should choose the abandoned castle that someone seemed to have already arrived at.
"It doesn't seem like it, it's actually a caravan!"
At this time, the druid girl Doric, who had turned into a bird, finally flew back and turned into a human under the eyes of everyone and returned to her saddle just in time.
"Let's go!"
"Those people look pretty good. They seem to be a big businessman and his entourage?"
"There should be no threat to us."
"And I think they should be wary of threats from our side?"
After saying that, Doric first glanced at little Annie who was sitting on Tibbers' shoulder and looked a little impatient. Then he smiled and motioned for everyone to follow her. Tonight, in that dilapidated I spent the night with the businessman's team in the old castle.
After all, there were a lot of sheltered houses there, and the caravan group only had a few dozen people, so they couldn't take up that much space.
"Hi!"
"Little Annie..."
"I've actually wanted to ask you this for a long time. The resurrection spell you released the night before yesterday was so powerful. We have never seen such a powerful magic. Simon said it was even comparable to the Lich's resurrection of the dead."
"Why do you have such powerful magic?"
Anne undoubtedly helped a lot with what happened that night, allowing them to dig at least a dozen fewer graves. However, it cannot be denied that Anne also caused trouble for them, forcing them to ask those people one by one. He racked his brains and racked his brains to ask thousands of questions, almost including what kind of leaves the undead liked to use to wipe their butts when they went to the toilet. In the end, he, Holgai and Simon were the three. How he survived it is still a bit unbelievable to this day.
Therefore, for the little guy in front of them, who they all thought was only the bear, Edkin treated him with some special eyes.
Of course, just a little bit, not much, because the other party seems to be the same unreliable spell caster as Simon?
"oh……"
(⊙o⊙*)
"There's no reason for that. I've said it many times before. I'm the most powerful arcane mage in the world!"
()
Anne, who was sitting leisurely and comfortably on Tibbers' shoulders and dangling her legs in boredom, answered so straightforwardly without even thinking about it.
What Anne didn't say was: she didn't use much magic at all at that time, just a few, and her 'blue bars' didn't even fluctuate at all, but the result...
The situation was like that. She accidentally resurrected hundreds of thousands of undead. She was so powerful, and she really didn't have any good ideas for this.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"Don't say it yet!"
"Annie, you are the most talented little girl I have ever seen!"
"You have such strong magic power at such a young age. If you find a good teacher and study seriously, maybe you will really become an arcane mage in the future?"
At this time, the rookie warlock Simon, who was riding next to him, also came over and said in admiration.
Because he felt the surging magic when Annie was chanting the spell. He had only seen it in his uncle. But the problem was that Annie was only eight years old now, and an eight-year-old girl was so powerful. Magic power, if you grow up, will you still have it?
"don't want!"
()
"They are very smart and don't need to learn at all!"
()
That's right, Anne is really not talking nonsense about this.
She has long since become the most, most, most, most, most, most, most... the most powerful super arcane archmage. She has learned everything she should and shouldn't learn, even if she hasn't seen him. She can learn it instantly even just by looking at it, so now she can just eat, drink, have fun and sleep, study or something, that kind of thing has been abandoned by her for a long time.
Besides, she’s not her stupid little bear!
(…)
(lll￢￢)
"It's better to learn if you have the chance."
"But there's no rush now. Do you know that we have to wait until our adventure and the operation to bring down Fudge is over?"
Seeing that Simon still wanted to say something, Edkin quickly dissuaded him and said with a smile.
"If you don't want to learn, you can wait."
"Anyway, Annie is still young and looks very smart. Does she have plenty of opportunities?"
Of course, Edkin didn't have any good intentions. He just took a fancy to Annie's huge magic power, and felt that the other party's magic power, financial resources, and the bear would have great advantages in his next plan. s help?
As for whether the other party's talent is high, whether he wants to study magic and arcana seriously and systematically, that is not what he should care about now.
What he just wants now is to find that 'Helm of Spell Breaking' as soon as possible, then break the Mordenkainen seal on the treasure house door of Neverwinter, then steal all of Fudge's treasures, and add insult to injury when the opponent's economy and rule begin to collapse. Overthrow the other party, then take away his daughter Kira, and lead two-thirds of the treasure of Neverwinter with Holgay to live a good life without shame or impatience?
"Pooh!"
ε=(ˇεˇ))) Bah! !
"It's not just how they look, it's because they are very smart!"
()
For Anne Bennie, who was already smart, cute, well-behaved and smart, the other person's uncertain words were almost like swearing, so of course she turned her head and spat at the other person angrily, and then simply stopped talking to him. They walked away side by side, and then Tibbers strode forward and walked to the side of the Doric girl in front.
"correct!"
The druid girl Doric, who had been paying attention to the conversation between the three of them just now, saw Anne walking next to her. She thought about it, and then asked strangely:
"Annie, you should know a lot of magic, right?"
"Who taught you that?"
Unlike Edkin, Holgay, and Simon who didn't quite believe that Annie was the most, most, most, most, most, most, most... most powerful arcane mage, Doric never had any doubts. She knew that Anne was an arcane mage and knew that Anne could do magic, but she was not sure how strong it was. After all, she rarely saw Anne cast spells or take action directly.
"It was taught by mother Amorin in the beginning. She is a shadow witch."
(*^▽^*)
"Later, Gregory's bad father also taught me a little bit. He is a mystical magician, but he is much better than idiot Simon!"
(゜▽＾*)
"Later on, people only studied by themselves for one or two years and stopped learning very much, and they stopped teaching very much."
(^▽^)
It wasn't that Anne didn't want to continue learning, but that Anne was able to teach Anne at first sight, and then the two of them were worried that Anne's talent and wild temper would cause some big trouble, so they didn't dare to teach too much. .
But who would have thought that Annie would actually learn it on her own, and even go to the "Gray Order" library or other mages' homes to find books to read, and she could read them well?
Then, seeing that there was nothing they could do to stop it, the two of them had no choice but to let it be and secretly guide it.
"It's only been a year or two and you haven't studied yet?"
"That's a shame!"
"I have been learning the way of Druidry in the Green Garden for more than ten years, and I am still working hard to practice it."
Doric couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he heard that this was what happened.
But when she thought about it carefully, she felt relieved again.
After all, Anne's situation is different from that of an abandoned demon child. For a child with a good background like Anne, at this age, in Doric's view, it is indeed difficult for her to calm down and learn knowledge. and skills, otherwise I wouldn’t have run out with a bear and had fun.
"It's only been a year or two..."
"I guess you haven't started yet, right?"
Simon, who was following behind, also heard it, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful, feeling that Anne's talent had been wasted in vain.
As a warlock, even at the rookie level, he knows how important the foundation is to a spellcaster, and as a descendant of Elminster Omar, he has a unique bloodline and complete inheritance. Next, I have studied for more than ten years before I have the status of a warlock who Edkin said is a rookie. However, Anne said that she only studied for one or two years, which in Simon's opinion must be of little use.
However, he felt relieved again when he thought of the suspected 'magic rampage' scene when Annie used the priest's token the night before.
"Gregory the Mystic Warlock and Amoryn the Shadow Witch?"
"Annie, are those your parents?"
"Sounds very powerful. No wonder you can bring such a powerful magic bear like Tibbers and be so rich!"
"very nice!"
At this time, the barbarian female warrior Holgai also added a few words, and she did not hide the envy and jealousy in her words, and at the end she smacked her lips and sighed.
"Simon!"
"have you heard of it?"
Edkin thought for a moment, then turned to Simon and asked.
While asking, he began to worry about Xiao Jiujiu, thinking that if Simon knew about it, maybe they could send Annie home after they defeated Fudge and rescued their daughter Kira?
By the time……
Maybe the two powerful wizards, who knew by their names, would give them some rare magic props, scrolls, gold and silver treasures as soon as they were happy, and then he could pretend to refuse them, and in the end, he could not refuse the kindness. Will you accept it openly?
"Um……"
"Mysterious Warlock Gregory and Shadow Witch Amorin..."
"No!"
"I've never heard of it."
"But spellcasters with titles such as warlocks and witches are generally very strong, even legendary or above?"
As he spoke, Simon once again looked at Anne, who was walking with Doric in front, with regret and regret.
In his opinion, Anne has such good talents and conditions. If she can calm down and study at this age, she will definitely become a great mage in the future. There is no chance of running away!
pity……
But the other party only learned it for a year or two and then ran away on his own. If he delayed, he might just be like him in the future and become a useless rookie arcane mage?
"..."
(**)
Anne, who was walking in front, certainly heard what that idiot Simon said, but she was too lazy to explain more.
Anyway, as far as she knew, Father Gregory and Mother Amorin at home were at least at the level of demigods, maybe similar to or stronger than when she first went to Earth?
But that kind of thing doesn't matter!
Because, with the intervention of the Koprulu Star Zone, the current "Gray Order" no longer needs to use personal strength to maintain its own security.
After all, when they can throw star destroyer bombs, use dark matter cannons to bombard planets, or remotely call for fleet artillery support, who of them still has to go through the thankless task of creating spells themselves?
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
In this way, as everyone chatted and got to know each other, a group of five people, four horses and a bear soon arrived at the ancient castles destroyed by the war before the heavy rain was about to fall, and successfully caused He caught the attention of a group of adventurers who seemed to be escorting a caravan inside.
Fortunately, after learning that Liedkin and others were just passing by, and that like them they just wanted to take shelter from the rain and repair for the night, and saw that there was a little girl in the group of five, the caravan guards They were quickly relieved and reluctantly lowered their guard, and then kindly pointed the five people to the relatively intact and clean side hall next to them, while they continued to firmly control the main hall of the old castle, and There was no intention of letting five people in.
As for the vigilance of the guards, Edkin and others were not too surprised.
After all, the other party came first, and they couldn't let the other party make room for them, and they didn't want to live with those strangers, so they obediently prepared to go to the side hall, which was at least a hundred meters away from the main hall.
"!!"
"Everyone, look!"
"That seems to be their employer?"
"What race is that?"
"Hello!"
"Holgai!"
"Is he from your barbarian clan?"
At this time, the sharp-eyed Edkin spotted a thin and ugly blue giant wearing a robe in the hall of the old castle. He had a horse face and thin fingers. If you look carefully, I went there and found that the other person's fingers seemed to have one or two more joints than the fingers of ordinary humanoid creatures. It looked very weird?
"Ha ha!"
"Edkin..."
"None of us savages is that ugly or that thin!"
"Is that a distant relative of yours?"
After glancing at Edkin, Holgai was so angry that he laughed and teased back sarcastically.
"It's indeed ugly!"
o(*^*)o
Anne also saw it and commented so generously.
"Shh!"
"You all keep your voices down!"
"That's the secret merchant!"
"It's unbelievable!"
"So, he hired that group of powerful-looking adventurer escorts?"
"It's no wonder."
However, unlike Edkin's yelling, Holgai's rudeness, and Doric and Little Anne's indifferent attitudes, the rookie warlock Simon was excited the first time he saw each other. He exclaimed, then his expression changed, and he quickly signaled to his companions not to be rude.
"??"
"?!"
"Arcane merchant?"
"dangerous?"
Upon seeing this and Simon's bizarre reaction, Edkin and Holgay reached for the weapons at their waists with a tacit understanding and were prepared for the worst.
"no!"
"It's not what you think, don't be nervous."
Unfortunately, Simon did not explain, but only signaled Edkin and Holgai not to draw their swords and axes at the slightest disagreement.
"Let's go over there and settle down first, and then I'll go and talk to you slowly."
Immediately afterwards, seeing the group of adventurers staring at them from a distance with unkind expressions, Simon, who was afraid of causing any misunderstanding, had to quickly wave to the group of people and show a relatively friendly smile, and then hurriedly With confusion, everyone walked towards the relatively well-preserved stone chamber in the side hall.
"Little Annie!"
"Stop looking, it's very impolite for you to point at others like this!"
"Come here quickly?"
"hurry up!"
"It's going to rain soon, don't stay outside."
Seeing that Simon said there was no danger, Edkin slowly let go of the hilt of the sword, and then helped to greet others, signaling a certain troubled little girl to stop looking at others with that monkey-like expression and movements. .
