Chapter 97: strange child

After the knight lord Yarman left, the hall fell silent again, but it didn't take long for a little boy in a sackcloth coat to run and jump out of the ordinary and special door.

As he ran and jumped forward, he hummed a song softly, and the young boy's voice echoed in the empty hall:

"Don't look at me, I'm only seven years old this year, but I'm a strong knight

Step on my favorite wooden horse and ride it in the garden

Good dog must follow closely, otherwise I will scold you

Duel with a wooden sword and a cloth bear, it is best to have a glass of juice after the war

Even if you fall, you won't cry, unless you accidentally drop your teeth

Because I am a knight, the strongest knight

As long as you don't let me eat green peppers, I will be the strongest knight! "

The little boy hummed a song and came to a candlestick in the corner of the hall. He stepped on his feet and broke the candlestick into another angle. After that, a "click, click" suddenly sounded above the hall. The chain stretched and pulled. the sound of.

Barrett held the hilt of his sword and looked up, only to see six objects hanging like a table falling from the air. He had already seen these strange things when he was admiring huge paintings, but he had thought that such things were just for decoration, but now it seems that they have other uses.

The little boy ran and jumped to a table, and took out a small pebble with a soft white light from the pocket of the sackcloth coat. The boy rubbed the stone, smiled inexplicably happily, then put the stone on the table, and ran and jumped to the next table.

The stone with constant luminosity is a very cost-effective luminous object. Although ordinary farmers and commoners prefer to use candles for lighting because of the price, in taverns, theaters and other facilities in big cities, as well as in the homes of most nobles, items of this constant light spell are frequently used.

After the little boy put all the six luminous stones in place, he went back to the candlestick in the corner, and pushed the candlestick back to its original position. After that, the platform slowly rose back into the air again.

In an instant, the entire hall was lit up, and the shadows' offensive was instantly disintegrated, hiding behind those corners and objects like a bereaved dog, lingering cautiously.

The little boy looked at the whole hall as if it was daytime, and snickered happily with his hands over his mouth. He ran and jumped back to the door, opened the door on tiptoe, and walked in. But when the door was halfway closed, the little boy suddenly stretched out his cute little face again, covered his mouth and snickered at everyone, and then returned to the door.

With a click, the door was closed.

"What a weird kid," Brandon murmured.

Barrett nodded in agreement in his heart, which was rare.

"Oh, it's not too strange," said the melancholy Eddie, "there was a boy in our village who was absolutely obedient and obedient. He seldom cried since he was a child. However, if this little boy is If you cry to another person, that person will surely die the next day for whatever reason. It's a really sad thing."

The sad-faced young man sighed again, "Some villagers said that this was because the little boy saw that this man was about to die, so he was crying. Others said that this little boy was possessed by the devil and had The power of evil, his cries are like the howls of a banshee, and will kill anyone who hears it. But anyway, that little boy is really weird. Or should I say, good and weird. The villagers are scared She and her parents were also worried, so they locked him in the house and never let him out."

Well-behaved and weird? It's a really special statement, and Barrett doesn't understand why a somber Eddie keeps insisting that the little boy is good.

"Then what?" Brandon asked curiously.

"Later I heard that a strange mage suddenly came to the village, and that mage took the little boy away." The melancholy Eddie said, "I want to say, all mages are weird, but it's much weirder than that boy!"

Taken away by the mage? Barrett suddenly felt that this story sounded familiar, as if he had heard a similar version somewhere, but the little boy in that version had another ability, a less bizarre ability.

"Later, did that little boy come back?" Barrett stared intently at the young man named Eddie in front of him.

"Well, although the boy's departure made the whole village very happy, it didn't take long for the little boy to be sent back by the mage." Eddie thought, as if recalling, "At that time, the villagers They were all panicked by the return of the little boy, but the person who brought the boy back told the villagers that the boy's strange abilities were no longer there, so the villagers should not worry. He even beat him hard in front of many villagers. Slapped the boy and made the boy cry in pain"

"That boy's ability really disappeared?" Brandon looked surprised.

"It's completely gone!" Eddie didn't sigh habitually when he said this, "Although the villagers were shocked and panicked at the time, and even a few cowardly ran away screaming, but the first For two days, no one died. The little boy's ability really disappeared, he changed from a strange boy to an ordinary boy, even some older children, and bullied the boy hard until he cried, This shows how brave you are.”

"What does the mage who took the little boy look like?" Barrett asked, "Is he wearing a robe the color of blood, and holding a hideous white bone staff in his hand, still beside him A huge, three-headed scary monster lying on its back, walking

The cold wind and the scream like a banshee will bring? "

Eddie gave Barret a strange look, and everyone else looked at him strangely.

"The mage does wear a red robe, but that red is more like burning fire than blood. He does have a white staff in his hand, but it's made of mammoth ivory, not bone. , unless ivory counts as bone. Does it count? I don't know."

Eddie frowned, as if recalling carefully, "That mage really has a three-headed monster, it's a huge chimera, although terrifying in length, but very docile in temperament. The screams beside the mage I've never heard of it before, as for the cold wind, it's really cool to be by his side in summer."

"How do you know such details?" Brandon looked puzzled.

Barrett looked at the others in the team. Except for Brandon, the other people's faces were filled with expressions like "So it's so" and "So it's so". Barrett estimated that the look on his face should also be similar.

The answer couldn't be more obvious, but some stupid people just can't find it unless someone "feeds" the answer into his ear.

"I" Eddie hesitated, he looked around the crowd, and then his eyes fell on Brandon, with a special smile on his face, "I know that boy~lightnovelpub.net~ He is rare smiled.

Barrett noticed that Eddie's smile was somewhat similar to that of the boy who brought light while singing. It's a giggling, but giggers aren't very good at it.

"I see." Brandon also "suddenly realized", "Ms. Hannah, I actually knew this for a long time. You think, if Eddie didn't know the boy, he couldn't have known so much." , he rejoices in the details he observes.

Hannah ignored Brandon's "showing off", but looked at Eddie with a rare gentle smile on her face, "I didn't expect that boy to have such an experience, it seems that he has grown up now, and now It should have been pretty good!"

"Oh, I grew up, but I grew up." The melancholy Eddie returned to a sad face, "As for how things went, I can only say that it is, so-so."

Although this young man's experience is strange, he is not very good at speaking.

"Why, is he dissatisfied with his current situation?" Hannah walked up to Eddie, squinting, with a charming and charming smile on her face.

"Satisfied, satisfied." Eddie said in a panic, and after Hannah left him, he whispered, "Alas, satisfied"

At this moment, the "backstage of the theater" was opened again, and the kind-hearted cook came out with two plates.

"You're all hungry, dinner will start soon!" The cook said to everyone with a smile.
