wizard

Long black hair, eyes like black jewels, soft facial features, and a familiar appearance.

This kind of He Ning made the sea people sitting in front of the tent involuntarily think of the crystal statue hidden deep in the underwater palace.

In the imperial era, almost all the court painters and engravers of Aram were from the southern sea people.The royal city of Aram was burned in the flames, and everything in the imperial palace was also swallowed by the flames.But in the southern part of the empire, painters who escaped death preserved the few remaining portraits of emperors and carvings of great witches.Among them are statues of the last Aramean king and the last great witch.

Compared with the abstract art of the Ariel people, these portraits and sculptures are exquisite, especially the crystal statue of the last great witch of the empire, which is even more lifelike, just like the great witch 400 years ago, and very similar to He Ning.

The parchments and copper plates that record the history of the empire are hidden under the temple of the city of witches, and the southern sea people hide the portraits of emperors and statues of great witches under the sea.The priestess of the Otiramus Temple may have suspected it, but after reaching an agreement with the sea people, they could not continue to pursue it.Besides, the palace in the sea is just a legend, and no one except the sea people can penetrate such a deep seabed, so the temple can only be given up no matter how unwilling it is.

The Temple of Otiramus has been trying to completely erase the Great Witch of the Empire from the history of Aran. After 400 years of long years, they thought they had succeeded, but at the moment when the lie was exposed, they discovered that history cannot be covered up at all. Yes, the conspiracy will be revealed one day. When the lie is exposed, the consequences will be a thousand times more terrifying than imagined.

Noble status is gone, the obedience and belief of the clansmen turned into undisguised contempt, ruthless reviling and expulsion in an instant, and the most loyal servants no longer believed anything they said.

Before the temple was destroyed, the expelled witches still had a place to go back to, no matter whether there was a threat of death lurking there or not. After the temple collapsed, the witches who lost their glory and status could only wander in the desert like sinners.Everything they were proud of in the past has become a mirror image, and no city-state or tribe is willing to accept them, and even the same wanderers are unwilling to join the expelled witches.

The Priestesses of Otiramus slew the Arch-Witch, and the Conspirators combined to destroy the Empire.The terrible conspiracy and lies offended the gods, and the Aram continent suffered hundreds of years of drought.All the truth was revealed at the moment of the temple's destruction. The Otiramus witches were like rats in the ditch, hated and reviled by everyone, struggling in the barren desert with nowhere to hide.

Carrion birds hover over their heads all day long, waiting for death to come.

The witches imprisoned in the dungeons of Bitiya City and Pulan City are considered lucky compared to their companions who are about to die alone in the desert. At least they don't have to face the disgust of the world, nor will they die alone.

Close your eyes, everything you once had flashed again.The worship of the clansmen, the obedience of the patriarchs and elders, the tribal warriors willing to pick up their long knives for their words... Dazzling ornaments, veil skirts embroidered with gold threads, delicious food... If the Temple of Otiramus had never Perish, if the black-haired man died in the desert, they would still be able to enjoy all of this, and even take over from the aging witch to stand at the top of the Alan continent.

Now all is gone.

At the last moment of life, some people will repent for the sins they have committed, while others firmly believe that they have not made mistakes.

What are the priestesses of Otiramus thinking?Only they themselves know.

The wind whizzed and danced with the yellow sand, the sand dunes moved slowly, the yellow sand covered the fallen corpses, and the carrion birds screamed rough in the air, gathering more and more.

The fire of life has been completely extinguished, and it won't take long before the traces of the Otiramus witches' existence in the world will disappear, just like what they did to the great witches of Alan.

In the night, another witch fell down, and the bonfire in the oasis camp was burning.

The sea people in front of the tent watched He Ning walk away, and instead of continuing to eat, they whispered to each other in a language that the eastern herdsmen could not understand.There seemed to be a dispute during the speech, but a consensus was quickly reached.The leader stood up and walked towards Moody who was sitting by the fire, stopped at a place where the fire could barely reach, bowed and saluted, "My lord."

Moody raised his head, half of his cheeks were reddened by the flames, flickering on and off.There was a flash of gold in the blue eyes, and the bright red lips seemed to be bleeding.The jaws behind Haimin's ears closed tightly, which was a sign of nervousness when they felt threatened.

Haimin tried his best to keep his expression calm, but the trembling in his voice could not be concealed anyway, "My lord, the one who just left is the oracle who descended on Pulan City and brought rain and fertility to Alan, the real great witch? "

Moody didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, until Haimin's eyes began to change from pale to almost transparent, and he gave him an affirmative answer.

When the two were talking, He Ning had finished everything, wiped off the water on his face, and breathed a refreshing sigh of relief.He didn't rush back to the tent, but walked towards the resting place of the green lizard and the black lizard. After standing still, he covered his face, and sure enough, he rolled into a ball again, fighting.

"Aya!"

He Ning's voice was not high, but the green lizard ran over immediately, stopped fighting, and opened its mouth excitedly at He Ning.Don't get me wrong, it's not that it fights until the relatives deny it and wants to bite, but He Ning has developed a habit of rinsing its mouth before going to bed.

He Ning snapped his fingers, and a jet of water rushed into the green lizard's mouth. The green lizard raised its neck and narrowed its eyes.The black lizard followed closely, opened its mouth as well, He Ning smiled, and snapped his fingers again, a stream of water splashed into the black lizard's mouth.

He Ning stood with his chin in his hand for a while, frowning at their sand-stained scales. Two larger jets of water fell from the sky and hit their heads. The green lizard and black lizard didn't dare to protest, they stood obediently and were washed away. in the bath.

It's not that he didn't escape, but the big witch was too cruel, he rushed wherever he went, and the water flow was getting bigger and bigger.

He Ning yawned, and was about to go back to the tent, when he suddenly noticed that the eyes of the green lizard and the black lizard were wrong, and they put on a threatening posture and let out a deep roar.

He Ning paused and turned his head slowly. Two sea beasts stood behind him silently, stretching their necks, looking at the green lizard and black lizard under the water column with envy.

Don't ask why He Ning can see different expressions from these two faces, in short, he just knows.

"Do you want to rush?"

He Ning stretched out his hand with a smile, and poked the sea beast's big head, not afraid of the sea beast's hooked mouth and four rows of extremely sharp teeth.

The sea beast tilted its head, with a ferocious appearance, it was rare to show a cute side.

He Ning smiled, looked at and estimated the figures of the two, and read a paragraph of shamanism, a small-scale rainstorm fell on the top of the sea beast.The two big guys stretched their limbs in the rain and turned over, becoming more friendly to He Ning.

A certain big witch rubbed his chin, those who live in the sea...do you want to add some salt?

The water column attracted sea beasts, and the heavy rain attracted sea people.

Seeing the sea beast and He Ning standing in the rain, the leader of the sea people tore off their headscarves, revealing a head of silver hair like moonlight, stepped forward to catch a few drops of rainwater, and the rainwater rolled in the palms, like transparent pearls .

"Big witch!"

Haimin's team leader knelt in front of He Ning on one knee, which is the highest etiquette for Haimin, and he just bent down in front of Moody.

"Thank God, thank you for coming back."

The language of the sea people, apart from the same race, only the great witch can understand. 400 years ago, the Otiramus witch swallowed the heart of the great witch, drank his blood, and gained powerful witch power, but it was not complete.She doesn't understand the language of the sea people, and naturally she doesn't understand the bond between the great witches of the empires and the sea people.

In the imperial era, the sea people believed in the gods, and they were loyal to the great witch.It's not so much that Haimin serve the emperor as a painter, it's better to say that they just want to get more opportunities to stay with Dawu.

When talking with Moody, Haimin used the language commonly used in the mainland, and the tone was a little strange but he could understand it.In front of He Ning, what the sea people said was completely different.

The strange language seems to have a sea-like breath.

A few images flashed through He Ning's mind, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his forehead. His black eyes fixedly looked at the sea people under the moonlight, and he said a long-standing name, "Ladis?"

Hearing He Ning's words, the headed Haimin looked excited, and He Ning's face was clearly reflected in their almost transparent eyes, "Great witch, Ladis is my ancestor, who was in the palace 400 years ago. He always serves as the painter, and is also the last painter of the empire."

"is it?"

He Ning pinched his forehead. This kind of headache and dizziness has not passed for a long time. In Ariel City, he thought that the inherited memory had been completed, but now...he really didn't expect it.

Did Moody know anything about these sea people?

He Ning subconsciously looked for Mu Di's figure in the crowd, and found that he was standing not far away, and before he could make a sound, he had already stepped towards him.

"You get up first."

The Haimin stood up, He Ning put down his hand on his forehead, and instead of continuing to explore the matter of Ladis and Haimin, he changed the subject and said something completely unexpected, "Do you want to rush too?"

After being stunned for a few seconds, the Haimin people understood what He Ning meant, and they were a little embarrassed, but still nodded.

Entering the eastern desert, the sea people drank the water they carried, and every time they found a water source, they had to let the sea beasts drink to their full.In this case, it is a blessing to be able to maintain the daily water demand and not be dried out, soaking in water like in the south?Don't even think about it.

Moody came over and supported He Ning's back, "Are you all right?"

"No." He Ning shook his head, read a string of shamanic characters under the expectant eyes of the sea people, the silver buckle on his left ear began to glow, and more and more rain fell, forming a rain curtain.

The icy night rain was too much for the knights, but more than 30 seamen cheered and rushed to the place where the rain was densest. Their hair soaked in water and their light-colored eyes seemed to be shining.

"Illusion?"

He Ning knows that there are fishes and people who can glow in the deep sea... Well, the world is full of wonders, so how many strange things have you experienced?One more is not bad.

The sea dwellers "soaked" in the rain excitedly, with only sea beasts as their companions, even green lizards and black lizards with thick skin and thick flesh were willing to bow down.

No wonder being able to dive into the deep sea makes the Temple of Otiramus helpless.

It rained heavily all night, He Ning didn't know how long the sea people stood in the rain.

After returning to the tent, He Ning's robe was ripped off and thrown aside, wrapped in warm body temperature, exhausted and sleepy, and fell asleep when Moody wiped his hair.

Slightly snoring, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, Moody held a lock of half-dry hair, neither angry nor smiling.

Angry with a sleeping man?With He Ning's strength in front of him, it would not be a problem to tear down the tent again.

The city lord could only give a wry smile, and continued to wipe the hair of the dreaming witch.

When He Ning woke up the next day, he was the only one left in the tent.Outside the tent, Miya has already prepared breakfast. Spices brought by the sea people are added to the soup, which makes the soup taste more fresh and sweet.

The sea people were all refreshed, and they were no longer wrapped in rice dumplings like when they first met. At most, their robes and headscarves were thicker. It can be seen that it is indeed different with the presence of a great witch.

The merchants in the Wamu caravan had more common topics with the sea people. Although most of the goods they carried were salt and spices, the gold and gems exchanged from several eastern city-states could be traded with the sea people.Merchants in the north don't like the sea salt in the south, but the spices are different. The spices prepared by the sea people are very popular in the whole Alan continent.

"Three loaves of gold, plus six gems."

"Four gold loaves, the jewel is too small."

"The spices should be added."

Such bargaining began in the early morning and continued until the camp was set off.

Wam's caravan planned to go to the City of Witches. The sea people changed their route when they knew about it. They came to the east for the sake of the big witch.

He Ning did not refuse the seamen's request, he could go if he wanted to, the black hyenas were determined to leave, there was no need to force them to stay.The barbarians are not very reliable, maybe he should try to get in touch with the sea people more, some things in his memory make He Ning very interested.

At noon, the team encountered a continuous sand dune again. He Ning simply opened a path under the sand dune. The knights and merchants saw it once, and the shock was still not small, let alone the sea people who followed the team. .

Standing on the back of the green lizard, He Ning looked back at the sea people who were carried by the sea beast. In order to avoid the scorching sun, they actually set up a tent on the hard armor of the sea beast!

Although it is only tied with ropes, it can barely shade from the sun, which is much better than basking in the sun like this.

Looking away, He Ning patted Green Lizard's back, "Don't worry, buddy, even if I can't set up a tent on your back, I won't dislike you."

The green lizard was flying out of the sand dunes, just about to take off, when it heard He Ning's words, it trembled suddenly, almost fell to the ground.

Pitch a tent on its back?The big eyes glared fiercely at the sea beast that was slowly walking into the sand dunes, and a fiery breath was emitted from its mouth. It swore that it would be incompatible with these shell-carrying beasts!
