I'm not a magician

The dispute in the church did not last long.

This time it was Sylvia who was impulsive. She hated using someone else's family as a threat so much that she immediately lost her mind and broke into the church without any evidence.

She stared at Lei Ze, her chest was still heaving violently due to the high-speed running.

The praying townspeople in the church smelled the breath of arrows, and stepped back far away, their worried eyes shifted between the general and the bishop.

Sylvia took a deep breath, reason and animality were torn apart in her body, and finally it was the uneasy calls of the townspeople that brought her back to her senses.

She slowly retracted the sword, pierced Lei Ze fiercely with her sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice, "It's best like this, I will keep an eye on you."

After she warned Lei Ze, she stepped out of the church in a hurry. Except for the footprints left on the white gate to witness everything, the whole process was bizarre like an absurd farce.

The townspeople watched the general leave, and gathered in front of Lei Se again in a daze: "Bishop Lei Ze, what's wrong with the general?"

Lei Ze came back to his senses, smiled at them gently, and comforted them: "It's okay, don't worry, the general just cares about you too much."

The townspeople were greatly moved when they heard this, and began to praise Sylvia, and the tense atmosphere became relaxed and harmonious again.

Lei Ze looked up at the crumbling door, and frowned calmly.

He thought that he had done enough in secret, that even the people in the Holy See didn't notice something was wrong, and Sylvia's gesture seemed to have discovered a lot of things.

Who the hell is...

Lei Ze's doubts were answered when night fell.

"Knock, knock—" There was a dull knock on the door frame, Lei Ze put down the quill in his hand, took a book, and covered it on the painted parchment.

"Please come in." Lei Ze put one hand into the sleeve of the wide holy robe, tightly holding the staff, and the purple arc was wrapped around the staff.

At this time, the townspeople are all asleep, and the monks of the Holy See will not disturb him. Those who can come to him will only be people with other purposes.

The dark figure carried a sense of coolness, stepping into the house from the snowy night, Lei Ze first saw a nondescript red coat, and when he raised his eyes to see the face of the person coming, he was so vigilant that he couldn't laugh or cry, and instantly relaxed his tense body : "How did you come here?"

Ji Chi was also very speechless: "I still want to ask you, why can you show up everywhere?"

The two people who ran around the continent, but always met strangely, looked at each other.

Lei Ze coughed lightly, stretched out his fingertips and shook them in front of him, a few firefly-like light spots floated in the room, illuminating the dim room brightly and warmly.

"Sit down." Lei Ze brought over a chair and took off the soft cushion on his chair for him, "Did you come here with the general?"

Ji Chi patted the snow on his body, sat next to him and nodded: "Didn't it scare you during the day? I also didn't know you were the bishop of Beidi at that time."

"Why do you want to come to the North to be a bishop? I thought your goal was always the Archbishop of Saint-Terry." Ji Chi felt that this comrade's idea was really ingenious.

Lei Ze chuckled and poured him a cup of warm tea: "There are two reasons. The first one is my appearance."

He pointed to his purple eyes: "The God of Light prefers children with blond hair and blue pupils. With an inferior appearance like mine, I'm not qualified to stay closer to God."

"Another reason..." Lei Ze's tone suddenly dropped, a trace of confusion appeared on his face, "I want to come to the fortress to find an answer."

Ji Chi held the tea in both hands, quietly waiting for him to speak.

"You may not know that a long time ago, the kingdom of angels would send angels here one after another to find something." Lei Ze carefully revealed the past, and he couldn't help frowning due to the severe pain, "my father was sent here to find something." Going here, my mother was worried about coming with him, and neither of them could go back in the end."

"So I want to see what it is that needs to sacrifice the lives of so many people. Also, if I'm lucky, I might be able to find the remains of my parents and bury them back to their hometown."

Ji Chi understood: "So you also want to go outside the fortress?"

Lei Ze suddenly looked up at him: "Also? Did you come here..."

Ji Chi nodded: "Maybe we are looking for the same thing."

Lei Ze stood up, pacing restlessly in the room: "Why are you... wait, you know what it is, right? However, the kingdom of angels loves its people very much, but many angels are buried here every year , so sending angels must be the will of the God of Light.”

He stopped abruptly and looked at Ji Chi: "Are you...really ready? The God of Light is likely to pay attention to you, and He has already started to act."

Ji Chi frowned: "Action? Action what, those prayers?"

Lei Ze took a deep look at him: "That's right, but that's not a prayer, it's a kind of contract, translated in the ancient language of the angel clan, it probably means [dedicate everything to my beloved God] .”

Lei Ze tore open his skirt, revealing a white mark on his chest, and he looked down at it himself: "I knew its meaning from the beginning, so I didn't chant it, this mark is still for Ivan to use a magic circle In disguise."

Ji Chi: "So you adapted a set of prayers yourself and let the monks recite them in the north?"

"Yes, fortunately, the Northland is vast and sparsely populated, so it's normal that there aren't many believers..." Lei Ze smiled wryly, "Oh, that's all I can do. If I can save one, it's only one."

Ji Chi felt that he didn't have to be so pessimistic. After all, with the memory of the orcs, even if they stuck the original prayer on their foreheads and asked them to read it, they might not be able to read the imprint.

Lei Ze was amused by him, and his heavy heart since he came to the Northland was much more relaxed. He removed the classics on the table, revealing the covered parchment, which recorded the weather changes near the fortress in recent years. There is also the general landform of the snow-capped mountains outside the fortress.

"I've been researching how to cross the fort this year. I've asked many townspeople that the fort is usually surrounded by wind and snow. Only a few days before the tidal moon will it be much calmer." Lei Ze tapped the paper The meandering fortress painted on it, "However, these days are also the time when violent beasts come out in full force. It is impossible for us to go to the fortress against the tide of beasts."

Lei Ze bent down and opened the locked drawer. Inside was a black luggage. He turned his head to look at Ji Chi: "I originally planned to leave tomorrow, because the next few days are the most suitable time."

He originally wanted Ji Chi to prepare for a few days before leaving. Although the time would be very tight, Lei Ze could afford to have one more friend he could rely on.

Ji Chi didn't think too much about it: "Okay, I'll come to church to see you tomorrow." His tone was so relaxed that he seemed to be asking a friend out for dinner tomorrow.

Because of this decision, Lei Ze has been in a state of anxiety for more than a year, but now under the influence of Ji Chi, he feels strangely relieved, and said with a relaxed smile, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Early the next morning, Lei Ze explained the affairs of the Holy See early, and stood at the door of the church waiting for Ji Chi.

It was ridiculous to say that he had a good night's sleep last night. After he came to the Northland, he had nightmares day and night, especially in the days before his departure. Every morning, he woke up in cold sweat and fear of.

But only last night, what he dreamed of was a carefree and happy childhood, accompanied by two figures whose faces he could no longer remember.

Lei Ze was in a good mood, he raised his lips, full of confidence in the unknown journey—and all of this was brought about by the black-haired boy walking towards him.

But as Ji Chi gradually approached, the corners of Lei Ze's eyes twitched suddenly: "...what's your expression?"

Ji Chi raised his eyes miserably, looked at him with despair and fear, and asked with a trembling voice, "Can you... know how to cook?"

Lei Ze: "? Probably, I used to help in the kitchen when I was young."

Ji Chi breathed a sigh of relief, and instantly returned to normal: "Oh, then it's all right, let's go."

Lei Ze was confused by him again, and couldn't help pestering him for a long time, but Ji Chi vaguely and perfunctorily explained it away.

Because Ji Chi would not tell Lei Ze that when he woke up in the morning, he suddenly remembered that the sandwiches in his magic pouch had been exhausted. When he wanted to replenish food, he found that there were only fresh, bloody Frozen meat...

At that moment, Ji Chi only had the smell of his grilled meat skewers left in his mind, and unprecedented despair surged into his heart—as expected, the biggest challenge came from himself...

He sighed, and under Lei Ze's terrified sideways glances, the two of them came all the way to the place guarded by the expeditionary army.

Among a row of soldiers with firm eyes, the two figures with their capes raised stood out.

Sylvia heard the movement and turned around. The silver-white armor reflected bright light in the morning light. Beside her, the countess also changed into a white fox fur. She was wearing pitch-black armor and looked at the The ice-blue fortress, and the snow-capped mountains hidden in the clouds.

Sylvia's eyes flicked across Lei Ze's face. Although she had heard Ji Chi's explanation, she never trusted anyone related to the royal family of the Holy See. She nodded to Ji Chi with a cold face, and turned to the person beside her. Soldiers give orders.

The countess had heard about Lei Ze from Brandon, and she had a good impression of him. At this time, she approached them with a smile, like an elder who saw off a child: "Today is a rare sunny day in the fortress, and your journey will be sure." It will be fine."

Lei Ze noticed that she seemed to have something to say to Ji Chi, so he walked aside wisely, looking at the cloud-shrouded snow mountain peak.

The Countess instantly suppressed her smile, and said to Ji Chi solemnly: "Because no one has ever been able to come back, and no one has ever sent a message, even I don't know what will happen outside the fortress..."

"I know what I'm doing now is very selfish, but Ji Chi, I have a hunch that you are the only one who can solve all this. I beg you to live well and bring us the answer." The countess bang He knelt down on one knee, the sword in his right hand was deeply inserted into the snow, and she lowered her head, which was the highest respect given by a warrior.

Ji Chi quickly helped her up: "Needless to say, my original intention is also for myself."

The countess shook her head. She pulled the long sword out of the snow, stroked it with her left hand, and held it up firmly, and brought it to Ji Chi: "Take it. The long sword is the soul of a warrior. I would like to give my soul to keep you safe and sound."

Ji Chi could feel the weight of the sword in the countess's heart. He didn't want to accept it at first, but seeing her determined gaze, he slowly stretched out his hands and took it over.

Without saying too much, he handed her a pitch-black crow feather, gave her a soft instruction, and turned to follow Lei Ze.

The two female generals had to stick to the fortress, so they could only be sent halfway, and Shiraz followed. It squatted on Sylvia's shoulder, and its rabbit eyes were particularly red.

Ji Chi waved his hand back to say goodbye, and Lei Ze didn't know anyone to see him off. He raised his head and looked at the clear blue ice wall with hope and fantasy.

"Hey, wait." Sylvia's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Lei Ze turned around reflexively, and soon realized that she probably wanted to call Ji Chi, but soon discovered that she was indeed calling him.

Sylvia untied her white long sword, raised her hand, and the sword drew an arc in the air, and it was accurately inserted in front of Lei Ze's feet. Her tone was still cold: "Come back and demolish the church in the town. Drop it, it annoys me just thinking about it."

Lei Ze was taken aback for a moment, then raised the corners of his lips slightly, and assured him softly: "Okay, we will be back soon."
