Chapter 20: Encounter

　　 Due to the strong suppression of the church, the killing of the City Lord's Mansion did not spread in the city of Lenn, so Horn didn't know about it.
　　 But even if he knew it, he wouldn't care because it had nothing to do with him.
　　 Several days have passed, and Annie’s performance was very satisfactory to Horn and Enoch, and they finally decided to teach Annie to learn magic.
　　 Annie's magic is uncontrollable at this stage, and can be released without a medium, so Horn did not teach her to use a magic wand, and she did not seem to need it.
　　Meditation is the basis for learning magic. It can help wild witches enhance their magic power and strengthen their souls, and further control their own magic power.
It is worth mentioning that the idea of ​​meditation was not created by the old Douglas, but a small skill for the elves to condense the spirit. The idea of ​​meditation is not very useful for the elves, but only some of the long lives. It's fine, I don't know where old Douglas got this thing.
If Douglas did not discover that he could master other people’s spells by learning other people’s magic circles and spells, the role of meditation is not very important to wild witches. After all, the magic power of all wild witches is always sufficient, except for the end of the confusion period. Other than the time, most wild witches have not experienced what it feels like to run out of magic power.
　　 But after being able to learn other people’s spells, meditation will become very important, because if you don’t learn meditation, you cannot enter your own sea of ​​consciousness, and you cannot master other spells if you cannot enter your own sea of ​​consciousness.
　　 Horn and Enoch take turns to guide Annie, hoping to train Annie into the third companion whom she can rely on as soon as possible.
　　 A few days ago, Horn showed Annie the notice posted by the church, and she cried after reading the notice
　　Her father knew that she was not dead, but told the church that she and Joseph had died in love. If she suddenly returned home, would her father make her look like the notice said?
　　 If it were the previous Annie, she would never think of her father that way, but since that day when her father left her desperate to face the Joseph alone, the image of the father in her heart completely collapsed.
　　 And now this notice made her firm up her resolve, completely drawing a line from the Walker family.
　　 Maybe because of the irritation of this notice, Annie has been very obedient these days. Now she has the consciousness of being a wild witch. She has never tried to contact her family in the past, nor has she tried to take a stroll while Enoch and Horn are away.
　　 But from the fact that she went shopping without telling her parents and was stimulated by the gangsters and awakened, it can be seen that she is actually a girl who can't stay idle.
　　 She knew she could not go out, so she simply cleaned up Enoch's house while she was practicing, at least it didn't look so messy.
　　 Today, it was Horn’s turn to give Anne a lecture, and he taught that Anne usually came at night, because during the day the two had things to do, Horn went to Enoch’s house with anticipation.
　　The first reason for expectation is that Horn is actually very fond of imparting knowledge to others. He is a good teacher, or he would not start teaching him knowledge after saving Enoch.
　　Second, Annie's appearance is very in line with his aesthetics, teaching a beautiful woman and teaching a rough man feel completely different.
Horn was on the way thinking about what should be taught to Annie today, and found an old man walking towards him. Horn was stunned, knowing that he was wearing a black robe now, it was quiet at night and the place where Annie lived was secluded, so Horn didn't expect to meet someone.
　　 There is a sack on the old man’s back. The sack is about the size of a person and does not look light, but the old man does not have any difficulty carrying the bag.
　　 This old man has sparse hair. Only some of his hair is pure white. His face and head are full of wrinkles and age spots. The old man is smiling all the time with a sack on his back, and a few teeth have fallen out of his cracked mouth.
　　 There seems to be a person in the sack. If it were the usual Horne, he would have taken care of things like this, but Horne didn't make any unusual moves today.
　　Because the old man felt too dangerous for him, the energy fluctuations in the old man's body in Horn's perception were extremely evil and profound, giving Horn a faint sense of fear, making him afraid to act rashly.
　　When passing by the old man, Horn also found that there was still a strong smell on the old man's body, like the smell produced by killing various insects and fermenting in a jar for ten days.
　　 The smell was very unpleasant and a little overwhelming, so Horn could not help but cover his nose.
　　 I don't know if it is an illusion, Horn always feels this smell, it seems that he has smelled it somewhere!
　　 The smile on the old man's face as he watched Horn's actions stopped, his muddy eyes glanced at Horn sinisterly, but he continued walking forward without any action.
Horn was relieved as he watched the old man leave his sight. As long as possible, he really didn't want to conflict with this old man. The old man had a strange sense of oppression, which made Horn inexplicable. A little nervous.
　　 Seeing the old man carrying a person away, Horn felt a little guilty in his heart, but he couldn't help it, he probably couldn't beat the old man, and the person in the sack had nothing to do with him, right?
　　 Horn walked forward again, and suddenly he felt something strange, as if he had eyes staring at him!
He took a deep breath, then reached into his arms and pulled out a walnut staff, his hand gripped the staff tightly, closed his eyes and began to perceive carefully, but after a few seconds Horn After finding the right direction, chanting the spell activated the second-ring magic small fireball technique!
　　 A fist-sized fireball flew along the place he felt strange. It looked like a very normal grassland, no abnormality.
　　 But Horn believed his own perception, the fireball and grass began to burn violently as soon as they were lifted, and there was a harsh wailing accompanied by the glare of the fire, like the sound of a bug.
　　 Horn stepped forward, and saw a centipede with the thickness of an adult arm in the fire!
The centipede twisted and screamed ugly in the flames. It was terrifying, but Horn was relieved when he saw this scene. This centipede was, at most, like a ring of beasts. Threatened.
The flames burned for too long and it was easy to attract people from the Church of the North Wind, so Horn added a small fireball to the bug. The impact of the small fireball itself was very amazing. This time it directly hit the centipede's body. , This centipede, which had been twisted in the flames for a long time, only struggled a few times before it was completely silent.
