In the afternoon of the first day of the journey, Tarina was sometimes stunned and sometimes in tears, continuing her unconquerable one-man show mode. Now Burris is basically used to this, he no longer pays too much attention to the child, and finally can calm down and read.

Hei Song was called to the Prince's side, and the Prince briefly described the previous assassination. Compared to Burris’s confidant "Kreve", Prince Ranto still has a deeper friendship with Hei Song. After all, Hei Song helped him in the war, and the prince thought that Hei Song suppressed the durian curse. Leif" was the one who finally lifted the curse completely... even Heimatsu himself felt so.

Arnold and Lott rode side by side, talking constantly. Lott's ability to digress and thinking jumps did not stump the noble eldest son, Arnold seems to have a special ability, as long as you look a little good-looking, he can smoothly chat with you on any topic. This person did not know how many apprentices he had provoked when he was studying in Hilda's college. He didn't learn a few spells, but learned all kinds of quips to please the caster.

He thought Lott was a warlock, and knew Lott was a friend of Mage Burris, and he always flattered him in this respect. In addition, he often asked about the situation in Burristan. Lot's answer was basically nonsense. He described the dogs in Burris Manor as degraded pterosaurs, and said that ancient demons were buried under the tower. The corpse, the mage can extract power from it, and there is a dark knight riding a big hippo in the mountains...

Listening to these conversations vaguely, Burris in the carriage was amused several times. How could the mysterious and ancient bone maharaja be such a person? Burris thought this more than once these days.

Then Burris thought of the thinness of the plane and the magic spoiler... which made him a little bit unable to laugh. After a demigod imprisoned in an alien plane reappeared, he had to have some ambitions to be normal. Lot said his goal was to enjoy the world, which sounds reasonable, but Burris didn't believe it.

Ambition is not terrible, everyone has this stuff, and Burris himself has it. He is not afraid of ambition, what he is afraid of is the chaos and loss of control that will result. Does Lott want to use magic spoiler to strengthen himself? Or does he have any purpose that cannot be said for the time being? This matter can be big or small, Burris is unwilling to assume the most serious direction, but he dare not ignore the possibility of danger.

He can ask Lott directly. Ask without reservation, simply and directly... but he dare not.

I dare not dare. Even if he convinced himself that "The Bone Maharaja is not strong enough now, there will be no serious consequences even if he falls out"... he still dare not. The saddest thing is that he is not even sure why he is afraid.

Burris couldn't help sighing: People are so sad that they can't fully understand themselves after living a lifetime, or even control their words and deeds.

After dusk, the team arrived at the post on time. There are no towns or small villages near the post, and it stands alone beside the official road. However, because this inn is designed for long-distance soldiers or palace messengers, it is remote but not simple. The lobby is well lit, the tables and chairs are clean, the food and beverages taste good, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The horses were taken to the stables, and the prison carts were pushed to the backyard. This thing is not safe on the side of the road and can easily arouse the curiosity of other passers-by.

After dinner, the station owner found a knight and offered to give the "prisoner in the car" something to eat. The boss was soft-hearted and felt that no matter how vicious the prisoner was, he couldn't let him skip food or drink.

The knight didn’t know how to explain it, and said to the civilians that “there are all magical corpses” might not work, but he couldn’t say that we don’t feed the prisoners...so he proposed: because the prisoners are very dangerous, the soldiers should be responsible for the food delivery. , Let the boss avoid.

The knight walked into the backyard with a pan of bread, planning to make a pretense and go back. As soon as he opened the wooden door, there was a scream from the backyard, and the knight immediately put down the bread, drew out his sword and rushed out.

In the night, a group of dark shadows leaped from the side of the prison car, howling and rushing towards the knight. The knight raised his sword to greet him, and when he approached the shadow, he found that the shadow had a pale pink face and a pair of elves' pointed ears...

"Mage Black Pine?" The knight immediately put down his sword.

Heisong panted on the stone steps in front of the house, and pointed at the prison wagon with his slender fingers. The knight followed his fingers, and suddenly cold sweat oozes from his back—the iron door of the prison wagon was opened, and the corpses inside were shifted, from lying flat to overlapping each other, they looked like strips. Twisted and entangled like big worms, their heads turned out of the carriage, and their eyes were wide open... Or maybe they just gradually formed this entangled posture just to face the same direction.

Soon, Burris, Lot, Prince Ranto and Sir Charles also came. Hei Song screamed so badly just now that everyone could hear it.

Prince Ranto was shocked: "Who opened the prison car? The key is clearly in my hand!"

Charles pulled out his sword and pointed at the lock on the iron door of the prison car: "Look, father, the lock has not been broken! It is still fastened tightly... and the door has been opened!"

Burris immediately looked at the black pine. Hei Song caressed his chest and slowly moved to the prince and his son: "You two, don't worry, I opened the door with magic, please don't panic too much..."

You are the most flustered! Everyone stared at the elf mage, waiting for his explanation.

"I opened the door, but I didn't move the corpse," Heisong raised his head, frowned slightly, and came with a worried and unfathomable look, "Night belongs to the dead. Now night is falling, we are again Living in the wilderness, who can guarantee that these corpses will not make any difference? As a mage who specializes in this way, I must personally inspect the corpses, so I opened the prison car with magic...but..."

Speaking of this, his tone was a little fluttering, and he obviously had no confidence: "But I didn't touch them...As soon as I opened the door, they were in this position."

Burris couldn't help it anymore: "So you screamed? The necromancer screamed at the corpse?"

I dare not act in such a burlesque. If a bard tells such a story, he must be coaxed off the stage... Burris's heart is almost bleeding, look, this is the apprentice I have led. I used to know that he was timid. After so many years, his timidity has become even worse!

Hey Song was so ridiculed by the young "human apprentice", but he didn't dare to fight back. As far as he knows, "The Apprentice Kreve" is the son of the mentor Burris. Now there is a human transformed by the "Ancient Undead Demon Dragon" standing next to this son, and there seems to be an improper relationship between the two. Male-male relations...

After seeing the displeasure on Black Pine's face, Burris suddenly blamed himself: As a teacher, I failed to guide the apprentice well, and I laughed at him for being timid... This shouldn't be what the teacher should be. So he stepped forward and nodded lightly beside Hei Song: "Sorry, I was actually scared, so I couldn't help but speak."

According to his understanding of his students, in this case, the black pine would often slap a few more words... But today the elf nodded honestly, pointed to the prison car, and hid beside him thoughtfully. .

Burris didn't know what was wrong with him. Perhaps the courage of the black pine is inversely proportional to the sensibility... Compared to the mood of the elf, the more important issue now is the abnormality of the corpse.

Burris followed the "sight" of the corpses and took out a small compass to take a look. "They are anxious to go back." He sighed, closed the door of the prison car, and motioned to the knight to lock it back.

"Go back?" The prince also looked at Burris's line of sight, "Back...Luoyue Mountain Range?"

"Yes, somewhere in the Falling Moon Mountains," Burris said, "they eagerly want to return to the caster."

"The door was opened just now, why didn't they run?"

"Because they are still inactive. The distance between them and the caster is too far, and the caster cannot lift the thread on the puppet again. Your Highness, we must be more careful. The closer you are to the Falling Moon Mountains, the more likely these corpses are. Stand up again."

The crowd dispersed, and the knights guarded near the prison wagon in shifts. Burris noticed that Lot had been staring at the prison car, and from time to time in the direction of the Lunar Mountains, he didn't know what he was thinking.

I can ask him directly. Burris said to himself over and over again...Why am I afraid to ask? What's so scary? I am good at communicating with people, and the Bone Maharaja is also quite reasonable, even he has a good impression on me... Why can't I just ask him?

As he walked to the guest room, there was a soft call from the dark corner. Burris turned his head, and it was the black pine hiding in the shadow of the stairs.

"Little mage, come here..." The elf waved his hands like a ghost, "I want to talk to you."

Now Burris is a young apprentice, and Hei Song mostly hates him because of the conversation just now, so he wants to threaten him alone. He didn't worry about what Hei Song would do. The characteristic of this student was that his image was extremely evil and terrifying, but his heart was timid and sensitive like a white rabbit.

"Just chatting here?" Burris also went down the stairs. "Someone will come over."

Hei Song shook his head, led him into the small dark door by the bar, and lit a small magic light ball. "That way, no one will bother you," the elf looked up and down "Kreve" and threw out a straightforward sentence, "What is the relationship between you and your tutor? Young man, I hope you can answer honestly."

Yes, I am a young man. I am indeed younger than you, only over eighty years old... Burris pondered for a moment and sighed: "I thought you knew it a long time ago."

This answer is ambiguous, but it is a positive answer for Black Pine: "Sure enough. Little Mage, I have to apologize to you. Before, I said something to the outside without a word, which may affect you and your instructor. Reputation. Now that I know the truth, don't worry, I will not say anything, let alone reveal the identity of the person next to you... Anyway, even if I say it, no one will believe it..."

"Identity? What do you mean?" Burris was uncertain of what he meant by the second half.

Hey Pine raised her beautiful elven apricot eyes and looked at him inquiringly: "Your suitor, Warlock Lot... He is not a warlock, not even a human, right?"

Burris's heart tightened... and I don't know which aspect of the nervousness, "seeker" or "not human". Hey Pine saw that his face was not good, and patted his shoulder: "Humans are quite tolerant of same-sex relationships. They are not so fussy like my compatriots. Even so, I can still see from your eyes. You are not worried. You are not worried about being discovered about your relationship with the male warlock, otherwise you won’t have a double relationship with him... What you worry about is his secret..."
