caged robin

Abner pushed open the door and was shocked by the scene in front of him: on a fancy bed, a man wearing only loose trousers had his legs and hands bound, his eyes were blindfolded, his mouth was gagged, and his complexion was dark. The exposed upper body shows its strength.

"Uh, Aureas, is this your friend?" Abner poked Aureas.

Oreas nodded silently, his face sank again.

Abner closed the door and asked softly, "Cub?"

The person on the bed writhed and struggled frantically as if touched by an iron, whining.

"Okay, cub, please calm down first, we are here to save you." Abner said as softly as possible, but the cub was still struggling crazily and couldn't listen at all.

Aureas rudely pushed the cub's head, and Abner stared, "Damn it, be gentle with your friend!"

Aureas glanced at him and removed the ribbon from the cub's eyes. The cub became quiet when it saw Aureus, but it was still whining.

As soon as Abner undid the thick cloth from the cub's mouth, a series of languages ​​that he didn't understand were heard all over the place.Oreas stood aside and listened to the cub talking a lot, frowned slightly, and only replied with a few sentences.

Finally the cub was freed. He shook his head vigorously, flexed his muscles and bones, jumped off the bed, and walked straight to the door.

"Damn it, cub! Come back!" Abner hurried forward, and Aureas grabbed the cub by the neck and threw him back on the bed.

Abner: "..."

Fortunately, the cub sat back on the bed and calmed down a lot.Abner saw many faint welts on the cub's strong chest, its face was slightly swollen, and its eyes were piercing. It seemed that it had suffered a lot just now.

The air was stagnant, and Abner and Aureas were sitting on the bench opposite the bed. The bench looked interesting, and Abner hoped that Aureas didn't notice the strange shape of the chair.

He cleared his throat, leaned towards Aureas, and whispered, "Tell him, I don't understand your language."

Orreas nodded.

So Abner watched Orreas and the cub talking non-stop, but he couldn't understand a word.The cub talked a lot and spoke very fast, and it seemed that the words were still full of anger. Aureas answered briefly, but judging from Aureas's increasingly serious expression, the conversation seemed not very optimistic.

Abner gradually felt bored, raised his head to look at the ceiling, and turned his head to look at the special bench.The cub was still trying to express something, it seemed anxious and angry.Abner leaned on the armrest of the chair, put his hand on his chin, and looked at the two silently, feeling a sense of coldness gradually rising in his heart.

Suddenly Oreas glanced at Abner, and said to the cub in the language here: "Right now we can only collect the undead first."

Abner was taken aback, and asked Oreas, "Are you talking to me?"

Aureas replied: "No, he also speaks the language here."

Abner was overjoyed, and happily joined the conversation between the two, looking at the cub, "You people are really good at learning languages."

The cub raised its head slightly, "Because our language is the first language, and other languages ​​are under our language and are derivatives of our language."

Abner: "..."

"What the hell is your place?"

The cub's tone reveals arrogance, "The first place of human beings."

Abner: "..."

Abner smiled dryly, "Your place... is amazing. Are there any dragons flying in the sky, people with wings, grass that can cry, etc.?"

The cub said solemnly: "Dragon is an ominous thing; there are no people with wings, but mago and anima people can fly after becoming Haidongqing and swans; there is no grass that can cry."

Abner was taken aback for a moment, no wonder Oreas frowned when he saw that the patron saint here was the Dragon Queen.

"I heard Oreas say that you can become Costin, so are you from the Mago tribe?"

The cub hesitated, and the corners of his eyes drooped, as if poking him in some sore spot, "I can only belong to half of the mago." Then he looked at Aureas and continued, "So I really can't help you, I Unable to use the ability to go back in time."

Oreas frowned and remained silent.

"My other half should still be at the original place. I admit that I deliberately lured you here last time, but I really just want to go back. I thought the rumored Bone of the Son of God was omnipotent."

"Isn't he your friend? Why do you use honorifics?" Abner looked at Oreas suspiciously.

"We just know each other."

"You need to use honorifics just to get to know him? But I heard you didn't use honorifics to him."

Aureas rubbed his head without explanation.

Abner scratched his head, probably because of the etiquette he couldn't understand for the time being, he whispered softly, "Then what should we do now? Then what is the ability to go back in time?"

"Time regression is a special ability of our mago race. After connecting our consciousness to the mother, we can go back to any previous point in time." The cub lowered its head, "But I can no longer use this ability."

Abner was startled, "Wait, although you don't know the matrix, but you said to go back to the previous point in time...Maybe I can do it."

The cub raised its head suspiciously.

Abner stood up excitedly, a sense of excitement of seeing the same kind for a long time made him dance, "It is just a piece of white when you enter, and then there will be a fetus inside the white gauze, and the fetus will grow rapidly, and when it grows up, it will be white." At a certain time, I can wear that white cloth."

The cub's eyes widened, "That is the mother's body! Impossible, only people from our clan can connect with the mother's body!"

Abner snorted softly and shrugged, "That's not necessarily the case. There are so many children of God. Who said God's grace only bestows one?"

The cub stared and opened its mouth, unable to speak.

"But the problem is, I can't find anyone who can accurately recall a certain moment three years ago, so I can't go back to the past." Abner said helplessly.

The cub was stunned, "Do you have to go back to the past through other people's memories?"

Abner nodded.

The cub twitched, "Because you don't have a matching anima."

"Where can I match that anima?"

"In our clan..."

As soon as the cub talked about their clan, Abner could only understand a few words, and the rest were all in Aureas' language.Abner rested the back of his hand on his chin, scratched his head with the other hand irritably, and finally he couldn't help interrupting the cub's long speech.

"Damn it, I don't understand anything! You're confusing me more and more," Abner walked back and forth in the room, "What's the relationship between mago and anima? What is the matrix? What kind of magical place is there? I only understand that 'backtracking in time' means going back in time. To be honest, I don't think these are important. Since the cubs can't go back in time, let's find a way to find someone to recall what happened three years ago."

"Maybe Sean can find a way, no, if there is no way, I have to force him to do something, after all, he is the closest to the Duke." Abner said to Aureas seriously, "Aureas, turn the bell Give me."

Oreas frowned, "No."

"why?"

Oreas' face sank, "Your injury has to be healed."

"Injury? You mean the injury on my head, what the hell does it have to do with it?"

"It's the wound on your arm."

Abu Nayang raised his arm, "Is this? It's ready." After speaking, he untied the gauze, and the gauze drooped loosely.

Aureas's face sank, he fixed his arm and bandaged him again.

Suddenly the cub rushed over and screamed, "This scar!"

"This?" Abner raised his arm to him, showing off the pale scar like a knight showing off his honor.

The cub checked the wound repeatedly, and spoke quickly: "This thorn wound was left by the thorn in the mother's body. This is a big taboo."

The corner of Abner's mouth twitched, "Wait, what kind of thorn wound are you talking about? What kind of maternal thorn? What taboo?"

Oreas glanced at the cub coldly, and the cub immediately shut its mouth and stood aside.

Abner glanced at the wound before Oreas re-bandaged himself, and sure enough there were many small spikes on the light-colored wound, like a thorn.Abner fell silent, feeling that the matter was not that simple, he asked Oreas cautiously: "What is this injury?"

Oreas was silent for a while, and replied: "This wound was left by you when you went back in time, and it will take a certain amount of time to heal."

"Did you already know the origin of this injury when I saw you for the first time?" Abner recalled that Oreas was holding onto his injured arm tightly.

"Yes."

"Damn it," Abner thought more and more, "how did you know that my injury was caused by going back in time? I was obviously in the time back in time."

Oreas narrowed his eyes, as if he didn't want to answer.The cub's lips moved again and again, and it seemed that he had a strong desire to explain, but he glanced at Aureas and gave up making a sound.

Oreas said lightly: "You just need to know that you can no longer use time to go back in time."

Abner's head drooped, "I know I can't understand even if you explain it, it's just..."

He sighed softly, "We only have this way left. Could it be that we are going to the Breathless Sea to find the clues that Adrian left three years ago? Don't be kidding, the Priest of the Fire Spirit will come in a few days. If If I insist on going back in time, what will happen?"

Oreas said in a low voice: "The wound will explode violently due to the chaos of time."

Abner trembled, and the pain that made him faint came back again.He thought, I'm afraid I'll pass out before I find Adrian.He sat back on the chair, "How long will it take?"

"It will take about ten days."

The time agreed with the fire priest is within six days.

Abner was discouraged, his eyes glazed over, and his tone was tired: "No one has ever told me this... since the first time I happened to go back in time, no one has ever been."

Oreas' eyes sank, and his broad arms gently surrounded Abner's head, and pulled him into his arms.

The cub standing on the side looked up at the ceiling, thoughtful, and after a long time, he said, "Maybe I can find a way."

"What?" Abner suddenly came back to his senses, sat up straight, and cleared his throat uncomfortably.

The cub didn't care, and said seriously, "Half of my body belongs to mago, and half belongs to anima..."

Abner twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking that the cub was about to start talking about those obscure things again.Sure enough, the cub continued to talk for a long time, but this time Abner could basically understand, he glanced at the dehydrated lips of the cub, "You have been talking for a long time, meaning that you can help me heal my wounds quickly. "

The cub's eyes lit up, "Yes! Yes!"

"Then you can just say it straight, why do you have to talk about Haidongqing, swans, white hair, cliffs..."

The cub scratched its head, "I just want to explain that I don't know how to use this healing ability, so don't expect too much."

"It's better to have hope than nothing," Abner patted him on the shoulder, "I'll think of a way to get you out of here first."

The cub's eyes brightened.
