Chapter 1142: Knowing the Legend
"I used to think that 'Tampering with Memory' was a very evil arcane art, and that altering someone else's memory was the most despicable act, but now ...... I have to admit that my perception has been shaken. With tears in her eyes, Lyudmila said to Roland in a choked voice.
A spell is a spell, and there is no good or evil in itself. The same spell can be used by the caster to do good or evil. Lyudmila was no longer a child, and Roland felt the need to nag her about these simple truths, so he took her hand and whispered softly: "Don't cry, pretend to be casual like me, lest Jessica see the flaws." ”
The female ranger wiped the corners of her eyes and barely squeezed out a smile: "It's not easy, but I'll try to keep it from showing." ”
Five minutes passed in a flash, and Anthony finished his solo. The sound of the piano was still echoing in the air, and Jessica had already recovered from her sluggish state, and said to everyone a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I seemed a little dizzy just now, and now I'm fine." ”
Roland noticed that Anthony did not deliberately hide the "civil lyre", and Jessica also saw it, but did not show an abnormal demeanor, and seemed to be calm. He was curious about how Anthony had tampered with Jessica's memories and weaved a story for her, but seeing Anthony's depressed and tired appearance, he couldn't ask any more questions, as long as Jessica forgot those tragic memories.
Memory is an invisible burden, and the more unforgettable the encounter, the heavier it becomes, overwhelming people so much that they can't feel the bits and pieces of happiness around them.
Anthony used a spell to help Jessica repair the psychological wounds caused by the loss of her father, and the ten-year-old girl immediately returned to her innocent nature, wrinkled her little nose, sniffed the smell of roast pork in the air, and couldn't help but swallow violently.
"Wow~ It's so fragrant! Brother Roland, can you eat all this pork on the ground? There is so much meat, the four of us can't finish it, it's a pity to waste it in vain, it would be nice if Mom and Dad were here, let's eat pork together, I've wanted to eat barbecue for a long time......"
The little girl's childish appearance made Lyudmila almost hold back tears, and quickly turned around and took a deep breath to calm her emotions, and then took out a piece of roast beef from the storage bag and handed it to Jessica.
"The pork on the ground is not clean, you will get sick if you eat it, and the barbecue brought by my sister from outside is hygienic and delicious, I don't believe you can taste it."
"Uh-huh! Thank you Sister Mira! Jessica took a bite of the barbecue very ladylikely, her eyes immediately bent into a small crescent, and she exclaimed happily: "It's delicious!" This is the best barbecue I've ever tasted, Sister Mira, you can eat it too! ”
"Sister is not hungry, look at you are as thin as a firewood stick, eat more."
"Sister Mira, why are your eyes red, have you ever cried?"
"My sister's eyes are so uncomfortable with smoke that I can't help but cry, it's okay......"
Roland looked at the big girl and the little girl silently, and there was a rare moment of peace in his heart. He was reluctant to spoil the warm scene in front of him, so he quietly walked away and left room for Lyudmila and Jessica to communicate alone.
"Hi ~ His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you want?" Anthony leaned over with a pretended relaxed smile on his face.
"It's a pleasant experience to think about nothing, and to empty your brain once in a while." Roland said lightly.
Anthony couldn't understand his almost metaphysical feelings, shrugged his shoulders, looked at Lyudmila and Jessica, and whispered, "You're right, our Giant Lady is actually very gentle and will be a good mother in the future." ”
"Thank you, and I will also work towards the goal of becoming a good father."
"I wish you success, seeing you like this, I am starting to believe in love again."
"Do you want me to help you resurrect the Water Naga or Yusefka?"
"you! Don't underestimate Master Ben, one day I will find true love! Anthony shook his fist angrily, and then said to Roland, "While there is still a little time, I want to cast a spell to find out what is going on in this hellish place." ”
Roland's face changed slightly: "You want to cast 'Knowing Legend'?" ”
Anthony nodded solemnly: "We all want to unravel the mysteries of Akron as soon as possible, and 'Knowing the Legend' is the most convenient and safest way to achieve this goal." ”
"It's convenient, but it's not necessarily safe." Roland stared into Anthony's eyes and warned: "Akron is not an ordinary city, this half-plane is said to have evolved from the dream realm of the evil god, if you cast the 'Legend' here, it is possible to touch the will of the evil god buried in the deepest part of the nightmare...... I can't imagine how that would hurt you. ”
"What can be the consequences? It's nothing more than a failed spell cast. Anthony smiled freely: "Take a step back, even if you encounter unexpected trouble, isn't there still you?" You'll protect me, won't you? ”
Roland looked at him speechlessly, and only spoke after a long time: "Of course I will try my best to protect you, but you should be responsible for your own life first. ”
Anthony disagreed with his warning, and said with a heartfelt voice: "You are the backbone of our small team, it is all up to you to fight, kill and kill, and I am not that indispensable role, someone always has to take risks when I have to, I take risks better than you, if the spell is successful, we can not only uncover the mysteries of Akron, but also find the whereabouts of the three Zion siblings, you are the governor of the central bank, don't tell me that such a simple risk-reward ratio can't be calculated." ”
Roland was speechless for a moment, patted Anthony on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Take care." ”
Anthony smiled and nodded, took out a small golden incense burner from the storage bag, lit it, placed it on the ground, raised the curling cigarette, and then took out four ivory tusks, inserted them around the incense burner, formed a square, and sat in front of the incense burner to concentrate on casting spells.
Roland stood quietly by Anthony's side. He knows a lot about "Legends", this arcane is 6 rings for mages and warlocks, but only 4 rings in the bard's arcane list, perhaps because the poet profession is naturally good at finding out news and gathering anecdotes, so he is better at mastering this arcane art that is specifically used to gather intelligence.
The function of "Knowing the Legend" is very simple, that is, you can get legends and deeds about an important person, place or thing, but you don't need to go around looking for people, you can use magic to directly query the information of the target; The farther away the target is from the caster in space or time, the fewer clues there are, and the longer it will take to cast the Legend of Knowledge, sometimes even weeks, and the information will be vague; On the contrary, if you directly inquire about local intelligence like Anthony, the casting time is much less, and it is estimated that it will take less than half an hour to get it; As for how it was inquired, Roland does not know.
