Chapter 8: Confused (Part 2)

Its daybreak.
Like every morning in the past, Loren packed up his luggage, fed the old horse with grass, removed the pebbles under the horseshoe, washed it from head to toe, wiped his body and brushed his hair ... and finally, this The reluctant old horse put on the saddle again and hung up the duffel bag.
It's just that there was an old knight asleep next to him, and now he is only himself. The silent Loren was busy with the work at hand.
Without the old knight Leonardo, where should he go next--perhaps he should turn around and go back, at least he still remembers the way he came. Then, as the old knight said, inherit his sword and surname and live as a wandering knight.
Ain Rand was also packing things quietly. The horror brought to the two people this night is really enough. The little wizard has not fully recovered until now, just thinking of leaving quickly.
Bloody killings, strange temples, and the crazy greed of the villagers ... Ain once thought that she had stopped thinking and would forget all this, but now he still can feel the heavyness of that memory.
Used to think that as long as he could become a wizard, he could know everything about himself, but now he understood how ignorant the past thoughts were. In the face of death threats, it is not magic and knowledge that saves oneself, but a black-haired and black-eyed, somewhat self-righteous wandering knight.
"Are you ready to go?" Looking at the stunned little wizard on the spot, Loren reminded: "If possible, we should leave this ghost place quickly."
"Uh? Ahhhh ... yes, you're right." Ain, who was awakened, nodded quickly, as if stupid: "We'd better leave quickly."
"Are you okay?" Loren frowned and said a little skeptically: "Where do you want to go? I can take you on a ride if I get off the road."
"I must rush back to Wimpar College immediately." At this point, Ain's expression became serious again: "I must pass everything that happened here to the mentor and the dean, absolutely not for a moment Delayed again! "
There is a temple of heretic gods under the church of Holy Cross, and it has been completely eroded by the void. It may even be that the heretic evil spirit still exists. This is definitely not a trivial matter, if not handled properly ... Ain can't even imagine what will happen.
Not to mention that all the people in the whole village have evaporated, and it is impossible to find out-the Vimpar College is now in jeopardy, and the Holy Cross Church has been very vocal about the college from beginning to end. The excuse, I am afraid that the college will only become more and more difficult in the future.
No matter what is going on, you must not let it threaten the college! Ain's expression became firmer: "Sorry, could you please take me back to Wimpar College, I'm really anxious now!"
"Of course, a trifle." Loren nodded with a smile: "As long as you tell me how to get there, this old guy actually ran quite fast." He also patted the old man behind him Ma, the other side snorted proudly in response.
"Thank you so much, I will never forget it." Ain nodded solemnly, but after climbing the saddle, he thought of another problem.
"But ... where are you going to wait?"
"I'm a wandering knight, of course I can go anywhere." Loren smiled indifferently: "Probably walking along the road, and then see if I can take luck in which market or town, See if anyone is willing to pay me to hire me. "
A young wandering knight like Loren, how many rich people would pay to hire him? Even if it is true, will he continue to live like he did last night, licking blood? The little wizard could not help thinking.
"That ... if you want to." Ain still said: "Actually, you can go to Wimpar College with me and live there."
"Yeah, you can come to Wimpar ..." The little wizard noticed that he seemed to say something terrible: "You resisted the erosion of the void last night, and you can hold your reason without madness. It means that you have the talent to become a wizard. "
"In fact, stepping into the void from a dream and then completing meditation is the first step to becoming a wizard, and you have already done it. All you are missing is a mentor who learns knowledge and can answer your doubts." Ain continued to persuade: "This way you will encounter the same situation again later, you won't be helpless, will you?"
At least the life of the academy is more stable than that of the wandering knight ... Ain buried this sentence in his heart. Looking at Loren who was still hesitating, the little wizard still did not tell him all the facts.
The vast majority of wizard apprentices completed their first meditation under the guidance of their tutors, and basically did not cause too much harm to their spirits when they were sleeping. However, when Loren was completely awake, he broke into the space distorted by the void, and probably encountered the evil spirit in the temple, and finally survived unharmed.
Whether he is talented or unlucky, he has done things that ordinary wizard apprentices are absolutely impossible and dare not to do. This has already proved that he has the qualification to become a wizard.
Will you go to Wimpar College? Loren was somewhat hesitant, and he really had no other place to go. Although he inherited the sword and surname of the old knight, he did not inherit his relationship and contacts, and knew nothing about the surrounding world.
And in that so-called "Wizard Academy", it can be a little more stable, and you do n’t have to worry about your livelihood anymore. This is a good thing.
Nature, and more importantly-for magic, wizards, void ... There are so many terrible things in this world that you do n’t know at all.
And these wizards really seem to have some very powerful powers. If you do n’t desire it at all, you are definitely deceiving yourself. After coming out of the pagan temple, how could it not be obsessed with this power?
"Okay." Looking at Ain, who was looking forward to it, Loren nodded: "Wait until your college, if they are really willing to take me as a wandering knight as an apprentice, UU read books www.uukanshu.com I certainly willing."
"Trust me, you will never regret it!" The little wizard nodded excitedly: "I will explain to the tutor and the dean, and they will definitely agree."
"Hopefully, I hope they won't drive me out directly." Loren shrugged his shoulders, and said with some helplessness: "More importantly, I really have nowhere to go."
Turned over and mounted the old horse, and the two set off in the direction of Wimpar College. After looking at him, the little wizard was still excited, and Loren could not help but slightly remove the bandage attached to his right hand, as if a snake-shaped rune was carved into the flesh on his wrist, reminding him involuntarily of that. Light blond hair, smiling graceful, but creepy teenager.
"My dear stranger friend, of course I will be very happy to help you get revenge, but I guess in the world where you are, friends should also help each other, right?
So if one day, if I need your help, please remember to lend a helping hand to help me out of the difficulties-I will thank you sincerely and repay your kindness as much as possible.
After all, this is friendship. I hope this day will not be far away, because I am looking forward to that.
But to prevent you from accidentally forgetting poor Asriel, please allow me to leave a mark on your body. I did this without any malice, just to allow me to find you.
Please also be careful, because for some people, they might hurt you for this mark-because they are so unreasonable.
Then, please work hard to live, we will meet again, my dear friend of the stranger, His Excellency Loren Turin! "
