Wizard of the Pendulum Forest

(34)

Ferdinand quietly put the last two peas on the plate into his mouth, stirred the cream of mushroom soup with a spoon, and lowered his head to take two sips.He turned his head, walked along the smooth surface of the chair to see the opposite stairs, turned back, and continued to drink soup.

It has been two months since Frazier left here, and he hasn't sent a word back or written a letter, as if to disappear from here completely, leaving the muddy trouser leg or rushing in and out of the kitchen. His figure was erased as a stain from now on, completely.

The wizard didn't look for him either, and he decided to bury those happy four months and be the original wizard.

"No one will stay with you forever," the wizard pushed the plate and reached out to scratch the squirrel's chin. "I'm used to it, aren't I?"

In fact, the wizard optimistically imagined many reasons, such as being a king for a few years and his foundation is not stable, or domestic turmoil has not subsided and conflicts have arisen again, or there are too many backlogs before, and he will not be able to get back in a while.In fact, he didn't want to think about the most obvious answer, that is, that gentleman was tired of such an ordinary life, and also tired of the deserted environment... and people around him.

"He is a nobleman after all...the king, a great nobleman." Ferdinand's fingers rested on the squirrel's head, and he was a little dazed. "How can such a person continue to stay here?"

The wind howled across the grassland, but because of the existence of magic power, it changed its flow path, passed by the wooden house, and gently protected the wizard's house.Ferdinand also thought about using the wind to deliver news for him. If he wanted, he could do it, but in the end he gave up. He would rather wait for the return of someone who has never heard from him than face the cruel reality .

But, but, a month later, that person actually came back.

Ferdinand happily went to the town to buy some melon seeds for squirrels today. After he bought a box of butter melon seeds as usual, his eyes fell on the salt and pepper melon seeds.

"It just appeared, reminding me of your sins, your never-stopping eyes and ever-moving mouth. How much I loved you, and how much I loathed you--the hairs on your head that can never be combed .You'd rather be greeted by a chipmunk kiss than stop to say goodbye to your host. Today, it's your second day away - don't let me see you at the dinner table today! I guarantee it , I'm going to knock out your front teeth one by one. A squirrel and a chipmunk! Suffocating! How did they manage to communicate without barriers!"

The wizard stood by the counter of the shop and sighed at the box of salt and pepper melon seeds that had been left unattended for a long time, then stared at the old shop owner from the east with unclear eyes, kicked the stones on the ground and left.

He saw the man in front of the cabin.

The wizard kicked the stone into the hole under the mound and stunned an unlucky groundhog, and he stammered his greeting: "Oh! Hi, Houston... sir? Long time no see, nice to see you again , What did you have for dinner... No, no, what am I talking about!"

The Frazi in front of him had changed too much, and it was quite different from the person in the wizard's memory. This made Ferdinand rub his eyes several times before he could believe that this was the Frazi who could make delicious croissants. , The wizard quietly took a step back and raised his head.

The man took a step forward without making a sound, with a very oppressive aura. He was wearing a king's robe and a scarlet cloak. The lower edge of the heavy cloak was dragged and overwhelmed a piece of grass on the grass. He said, "Long time no see."

The wizard looked over his shoulder and saw two neat rows of guards guarding behind him, then raised his head silently, and saw Frazi's good-looking and deep facial features and blue eyes as always.The wizard could feel the coercion of the ruling class, but it was no longer so clear that Frazi was a king.

Suddenly, that coercion disappeared, and the person in front of him seemed to turn back into Frazi who could bake delicious cookies.

"I've been thinking about you," Frazier said with a familiar smile, "I never realized how much I depended on the existence of another person. Every day I wonder what my little wizard ate today , What did he do, is he still so happy, I kept thinking about it, and finally the backlog lingered in my heart for a long time. Sorry, there are too many things."

"Now, you see, I'm fine." The wizard heard his own voice dry.

"I'm not good, I miss you so much," Frazi stepped forward with an unprecedented toughness, but the wizard still saw something familiar in his eyes, "Come with me, Ferdinand," he said His voice suddenly softened, and he put forward his purpose bluntly, "Stay with me."

"Together? Like... Moka and Kexilia?"

"Yes. I really can't stand when you're not yelling in my ear, it's so quiet."

Ferdinand took a light breath and calmed down: "You mean, you want me to leave the Pendulum Forest and settle in your country?"

"Yeah, that's right, that's what I want."

Ferdinand showed confusion in his eyes. He lowered his head and let out a soft "ah" before raising his head after a few minutes: "This is not a matter of a few days...have you already decided..."

"I'm very determined."

"But I need to think about it." The wizard looked at Frazi, as if looking at the sky and the distance, "This is not a fun thing, especially for a wizard."
