Andrew drank the glass of wine that Siegxin had poured into his mouth, and muttered with a moved face, "You have asked me many times where my hometown is, why you have ventured here from your homeland, and have spent more than ten years in this filthy place, with intrigue, assassination, plunder, and deceit. All I can say is that for the sake of a promise, for a promise that no one can keep, a promise that can only be fulfilled by these mountains, rivers, and valleys. ”

Higg was taken aback, he had never seen Andrew so excited. As a priest, a clergyman, Andrew has always been a suave man, a haughty man, and although he has a poor raunchy image, he has never been so agitated and irritable.

Higg picked up the wine glass in his right hand, trying to hide his surprise with a sip of wine, but suddenly Andrew grabbed his wrist hard, and grabbed Higg with a sharp pain. Higg looked at Andrew, who had never been so abnormal, in amazement, and stood still in place.

Andrew, who had drunk a lot of wine, turned red, looked at Higg for a long time before relenting, and then regained his composure, and then said, "Child, I owe you a magic skill for this drink." I don't have anything to teach you, now you are not suitable for too many complicated magic skills, these acceleration, slowing, healing magic you have mastered, although they are all simple first-order magic skills, but these are used well, but they are the foundation of survival. I'm going to teach you one of the simplest yet smartest magic skills today, and it's definitely the most proud skill of my life! ”

"What is it?" Higg asked with interest.

"If you can't beat it, run away!" Andrew smiled slyly.

"Andrew, you're drinking too much and making me happy?" Higg sighed helplessly.

"It's not to make fun of you!" Andrew said solemnly, "You have to remember these words, they can save your life when it matters most!" ”

Looking at Andrew's serious appearance, Higg was even more puzzled, he didn't know why Andrew would tell him this, he couldn't beat him? Fight with whom? He didn't think about fighting anyone at all, "This little bit of wine will make you drink too much, and if you can't fight, you can run, I knew it when I was a few years old"

Andrew muttered to himself, "What should come is still coming!" Actually, I was too selfish to bring you here and put you in danger for the sake of commitment. I thought that the most dangerous place was the safest, but I didn't expect them to find a clue. ”

Higg's confusion began to turn into anger, and he was about to shout loudly, but Andrew quickly covered his mouth: "Be quiet, I know what you think." ”

Higg growled, "I just want to know everything you want to say, I hope you just talked nonsense." ”

Andrew said, "I don't have anything more to say." To the southeast of this Grand Canyon is the Alasia Empire, which is the homeland of you and me, and in the south-central part of the empire there is a small city called Dilis, and in the magic guild of the small city lives a magician named McCann, a great magician mentor, who knows everything about your background, and only he can tell you everything you want to know. ”

"My background?" Higg's expression was gloomy, and he drank the wine in his glass: "Since that's the case, then we'll leave tomorrow to find him." ”

Andrew said calmly: "It's too late, you have to leave tonight, it's been an hour at night now, and in another hour, the autumn wind outside should be chaotic, you take this opportunity to set off." ”

Higg asked in surprise, "It's dangerous out there now, don't you know?" ……”

"It's more dangerous here now, and I feel like a crisis is coming. Tonight there will be a series of assassinations against the mosque, against you, against me. Andrew interjected and said, "Don't talk yet, come with me, I have something to explain to you." ”

Higg was taken aback, "Against me? ......" stopped talking, and followed Andrew into his bedroom.

Andrew took out a package, took out a delicate longbow, handed it to Higg's hand, and said, "This is what your mother asked me to give you, called the Bow of the Tree Elves, and you can use it for self-defense." ”

Higg looked at the bow of the tree elf in his hand, there were strange runes on the outside of the bow, these runes Higg didn't know himself, but he felt very familiar and kind, and seemed to feel that the runes above were flowing with dark light, as if the rune light flowed and felt the presence of power. I tried to pull the bow, but I couldn't pull it.

Andrew smiled slightly: "This bow needs the blood of the elves to attract runes, you can try it." ”

Higg asked in surprise, "Elven blood, me?" ”

Andrew smiled and said, "Try it." ”

Higg looked at Andrew with surprised eyes, and then looked at the bow and arrow in his hand, bit his finger and dripped blood on the rune of the bow of the tree elf, the dark light flow on the rune was visible to the naked eye, Higg finally pulled the full bow with all his strength, and then let go, buzz, the air in the bedroom shook, as if the power of the bow and arrow was not released on the arrow, all of it was borne by the space of the bedroom, and a teapot at Andrew's bed vibrated a crack streak, and also made the ears of the two buzz.

Andrew smiled in surprise and said, "I didn't expect you to really pull away, I thought I could get twenty years old." But remember, you can't rely on this bow too much now, it's too much of a drain, and it's estimated that now you can only fire the bow three times a day, and then you'll be exhausted. Pay attention to feeling your goals with your heart and not with your eyes. ”

Higg shuddered, is this the gift my mother who I have never met?

"This is the armor that your father asked me to give you." Andrew then took a piece of golden armor from his bag and handed it to Higg.

Higg took the armor and tried it on his body, the armor quickly fused with the body to the maximum extent according to the size of the body, Higg said excitedly: "What a magical battle armor, just right!" ”

"Hey, you know this armor? It's called the Magic Warframe. "This time it turned out to be Andrew's surprise." What is the magic of it? Higg asked, looking anticipatingly.

Andrew shook his head and replied, "I don't know, this is your father's armor, and the use of this is up for you to develop, at least now it can protect the body, and it's not too heavy, isn't it?"

Higg said disappointedly: "My father is too responsible, and he doesn't attach a functional instruction manual to give away things. ”

Higg straightened his armor and asked, "Where are my father and mother now?" ”

Andrew was embarrassed and said, "Take the bow of the tree elf and the magic armor, go to the small town of Teris and find the prophet McCann, that old fellow will tell you, I don't know the rest, and I can't tell you." ”

Andrew took out a pair of boots from his cupboard, earth-colored fabric, decorated with gold stripes, the workmanship was very exquisite, handed it to Higg and said: "I gave you these Divine Walking Boots, they can make you walk lightly, increase your agility when fighting, and most importantly, increase your success rate of escaping, try it." ”

Higg quickly changed into the Divine Walking Boots, which fit perfectly, as if they were made for himself. Sure enough, the whole body was fluttering, and it seemed that people had a desire to gallop, not only joyful, but also said: "There are good things that are not taken out and used early, hidden in the cabinet, and there is ash everywhere." ”

Andrew said: "Hmph, this is a life-saving thing, usually using it is not good for your cultivation and training, not at this time, I plan to let it turn into ashes with me." ”

Higg looked at the rising crescent moon outside the grille window, this kind of full moon night is indeed suitable for night walking, and it is also suitable for murder, arson, and robbery.

Andrew said: "You prepare, let's go, the small city of Dilis is more than 2,000 kilometers away from here, if it goes well, you can get there in two months." ”

Higg looked at Andrew strangely and asked, "Aren't you going with me, why do you want to stay in this dangerous place?" ”

Andrew shook his head and said, "I still have my own things to do, and besides, it's hard for you to leave without me here." Don't think about it, I'm a poor bastard, I don't have gold coins for you, and you can solve the travel expenses yourself. ”

"What do you mean, I'll go by myself?" Higg growled.

Higg's mind was confused, he didn't understand what Andrew meant, it all happened so suddenly to him. Although he has always been dissatisfied with being here, he didn't have too many worries in his childhood, and today so many secrets that seemed to be directed at him suddenly appeared, how could he be happy all at once. Andrew, who used to depend on each other, suddenly burst out with these huge words of information, how can it not make people think about it and feel heavy?

With a mind full of questions, Higg went back to the house to simply pack his bags.

Simple packages and dry food, Hig's magical armor and divine boots are already dressed, and the bow of the tree elves is hung on his back, which seems to be different from the usual hunting in the mountains, but the equipment has been upgraded a little more than usual.

Andrew looked at Higg, a sixteen-year-old child, a friend with whom he had been with day and night, his expression was gloomy, his heart was full of reluctance, he didn't know what to say, he thought for a long time before saying a few words: "It's still the same sentence, if you can't beat it, you can run!" ”

Higg held back his tears and didn't stay, he understood the meaning of Andrew's stay, and knew that now was not the time for his mother-in-law to say a lot of goodbye words, so he resolutely said to Andrew: "Old man, wait for me to come back!" After saying that, he dodged away and disappeared into the vast night.

Looking at Higg who disappeared into the night, Andrew's face suddenly became vicissitudes, two lines of tears flowed, and he sighed softly in his mouth: "Child, you must live!" All of us, alive and dead, are waiting for your return......"

……

The moon is hazy, and the mosque is very peaceful under the darkness of the night.

After a while, a one-armed old man came out of the mosque, looked at Andrew and asked, "Gone?" ”

"Gone!"

"Then let's do it!"

"Good!"
