Chapter 62 - People hiding in the dark (2)
“Take it easy, don’t worry so much, we have time.”
Gently soothed Loren, and pushed the bowl full of hot soup in front of the boy: “You must be hungry after running so far, how much can you eat?”
The undecided hat nodded, panickedly picked up the spoon and sipped it, apparently had not eaten enough for a long time.
Using this time, Loren carefully looked at the boy-although he always wears this clothes, he can also see that the muddy trousers and corners are only recent; there is a new tear on the back of the back. Mouth, I am afraid that it was torn by nails or the like during the rush; there was a slight bruise on his wrist, indicating that he had almost been caught.
So the hat should have come to the college yesterday evening. Considering that there was a full day’s journey between the two places, he knew that he might get lost at night and had to run away, and was almost caught, proving that Gumu Town was definitely in trouble, and it was probably related to himself.
Silent Loren poured himself a glass of water. He now needs to maintain absolute sanity, so drinking is absolutely impossible.
Sweet hot soup entered the throat, so that the trembling boy slowly calmed down and his breathing became smoother. Only then did I swallow my stomach bit by bit.
“Are you more comfortable?” Loren looked at the boy with concern, his voice quietly: “If there is not enough, there is still.”
“No, no, I’m already full.” The hat replied a little staringly, evading Loren’s gaze: “Thank you, Master Wizard, you are such a good person.”
“Just call me Loren, the people in this college are all wizards.” Smiling and patting the old hat on the boy’s head: “What happened to Gumu Town?”
The hat nodded quickly. Although he had only met a few times, he knew that this “Master of Wizards”, who was not much bigger than himself, was the kind of person who could not be easily fooled, otherwise he would not try to escape here .
“After you left, I tried to find a way back to the barn’s boss-no way, besides doing this, I had no other skills, and I didn’t know what else I could do.” The hat shrugged helplessly Shrugged and swallowed: “It’s probably so flat and dull after a while, then …”
“Yesterday or the day before yesterday?” Loren asked suddenly.
“Yesterday!” The boy’s eyes flashed in horror: “Suddenly a man came to us, and he brought a dozen more mercenary-like guys, saying he wanted to take over the boss’ business. Let We will all listen to them in the future. A silly big guy bumped into them, and then they … “
The hat swallowed hard and swallowed: “Just hang him up, light it with a bottle of water, and then open the axe!”
“I, I know for the first time … the taste of human flesh … smells so fragrant!”
The expression of the trembling hat has been completely distorted, and it is obviously resisting the urge to spit out. Loren can understand the other party’s approach-to deal with the rogues on the street, only to let them feel fear completely will obediently listen to you, simple temptation is useless.
But even if it is understood, it is still unacceptable. This is not a deterrent but a complete slaughter, and he hates this kind of behavior very much.
“What happened after that?” Loren skipped the passage immediately: “Are they all around the barn?”
“They only picked up those strong men, and the rest should still do it, just have to obey their control.” The hat said more and more panic: “I thought it was all right, and there was a guy Recognize me-it was when you returned to church that day that they saw you throwing a copper plate into my bowl. “
“These people became like crazy dogs when I heard your name. I tried my best to escape, and almost got caught!” The hat with a lingering hat looked at Loren and said: “Now I’m except you I ca n’t go anywhere, someone will kill me as soon as I go out! “
“Please, I … I do n’t want, I do n’t want to be …”
“Absolutely not!” Of course Loren knew what the hat was going to say, so he quickly interrupted: “You are absolutely safe here, even the church can’t break into the academy to grab people without reason, let alone a group Wandering robber! “
The boy nodded vigorously, curled up on the chair like a stray cat.
Sighed for a long time, Loren knew that this kind of trauma was definitely not something that he could solve in a few words. He must be given time. Patted the shoulder of the hat, turned and walked out the door.
The black-robed wizard with a cold face stood outside the door from beginning to end-this is natural, how could Dalton let go of such important information? What’s more, without his opening, Loren wouldn’t be able to let the hat enter the gate of the college.
“Go back and continue to ask.” The black robe wizard said absolutely: “There are still too few clues, we need more information.”
“Sorry, forgive me to refuse.” Loren did not give in, leaning against the door and staring at him.
Dalton’s eyes narrowed into a slit: “Are you questioning me?”
“As far as his mental state is concerned, if he continues to ask, it is necessary to use some means.” Loren explained: “But if we do, we will completely lose his trust and become like those people.”
“I always thought you were very pragmatic, Loren Turin.”
“Your judgment is still accurate.” Loren smiled slightly: “But since we still have time, there is no need to use such intense means.”
Pondered for a moment, and the black robe wizard finally nodded slightly, agreeing with Loren’s choice. In any case, the other party took the initiative to find the door, and I am afraid that more than one person has discovered that the little beggar has come to the college. In case he has something wrong, the impact on the college is not good.
Of course, these are not worth mentioning to Dalton. He only cares about college comfort-the situation is still under control, so he can take into account some face problems; but if there is a little surprise …
“He came to me, so I will guarantee him.” Looking at the black robe wizard’s distrustful gaze, Loren shrugged his shoulders: “Of course, you can also give it to others, for example … Ai In Rand? “
“Yes.” Dalton nodded. Although his apprentice was simpler, he was at least very careful. If you are only monitoring a small beggar, it is not bad.
As he turned around and left, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong and Dalton suddenly turned his head ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Loren, who was just relieved, became nervous again.
“what happened?”
“Ain Rand … For the first time in the last two months, you call it your full name for the first time.” Dalton said: “What happened?”
“… Nothing, just say so casually.” Loren replied without changing his face.
“Is it?” He gave him a deep look before the black robe wizard turned and walked towards his study.
Was almost a bit, he was found!
Gently touched the back, as a result, the back of the neck was full of sweat. Loren, with a long sigh of relief, shook his head bitterly-if Dalton found out that he knew it, I wouldn’t let him go so easily.
However, speaking back … Lorren slowly looking back at the door behind him, his right hand pressed lightly on the handle, contemplating motionlessly.
Can I really believe in hats? Of course not. In order to seek asylum, of course, he would tell lies to gain his sympathy and self-blame. After all, he had to escape because of his own reasons.
He can trust himself for a bag of silver coins, so why not betray himself for more silver coins? This kind of street child should have no moral pressure in his heart, and the threat of the other party is persecuting. It is not difficult to let him obey his life.
It was a good thing to hand him over to Ain, the little wizard would not betray himself. At the same time, the alchemist genius is very thoughtful, maybe he can really detect his horse’s feet, and then he will be able to use this “chess piece” in reverse.
“How should I explain this to Ai Yin? The straight words may be regarded as cheating on her again.” The hesitant Loren couldn’t help rolling his eyes.
“Why did this happen?”
