Mage's Secret

Probably because he was still immersed in the despair brought by the illusion, after being told the true identity of the elf, Leo did not act as surprised as Traphael.He waved goodbye to everyone calmly, and Traphael never saw him again.A few years later, Traphael heard a new poem about the deeds of the immortal Avelea from other bards who traveled near the mage's tower. The content in it always made the mage feel familiar, But whether the original author of this poem is Leo, Traphael will not know.

The team returned the same way without Leo and Avelea, and it didn't take long for them to return to Mocia.On the way back, the Crane Desert was much milder than before, and they even encountered a pack of sand wolves on the way.The sight of these sand wolves made Maura uncontrollably frightened, as previous visions had brought back some terrifying memories of these ferocious beasts.Fortunately, the coat of arms that Traphael carried had a deterrent effect on them, and the sand wolves avoided them far away when they saw them.After that, she probably felt that the performance just now was a bit embarrassing. Mora repeatedly emphasized that as long as she was given a knife, she could kill these beasts by herself.

Traphael comforted her gently, and Murphy didn't say any sarcasm. He looked at Traphael worriedly, not sure if the phantom array had any effect on the mage.But Traphael was very calm, and Murphy couldn't find anything unusual.

After reaching Mocia, Mora left them.Mora is very optimistic about staying in this almost empty city, "This city was empty before, as long as there are people staying here, as long as this city is still there, then it will be rebuilt one day My ancestors led the fugitives to build this city, and Old York and I will bring her back to life," she said to the mage.

Traphael stopped by Alba on his way to retrieve the horses they had left at the inn.Compared with the last time they met, the innkeeper seemed ten years older.Even with the herbs that Traphael gave him, his daughter did not fully recover.But after hearing that the mutation was resolved, Alba was still very happy. After all, as long as his daughter can stay in the city, she has the hope of being cured.

When leaving you Mocia, Trafael only took away his Ora and Murphy's Doro, and he left Debbie with Mora.He did this just for the convenience of the return trip, but Moura was so moved that she took it as a testimony of their friendship and promised that no matter how bad the conditions were, she would take good care of the young yellow mare and never Let it be reduced to the rations of others.

After receiving such a guarantee, Traphael was not only not at ease, but was even more worried about Debbie's future.

At this point, they finally dealt with all the matters in Mosiah, and set off on their way back.Compared with when he came here, Murphy's mood was much more relaxed, and there was nothing to worry him about - as it should have been.But the fact is that Murphy's good mood only lasted until that night.

They went back the same way, and after a short walk, they encountered the tree-man forest that had caused them a lot of trouble before.The treants were no longer in their previous positions. Judging from the moving distance, they should have stopped migrating after Lawrence's spell was broken.The treants moved very slowly, so they didn't deviate too far from their original positions, but they also gave way to the road up the mountain that they had to pass to return.

Traphael originally wanted to go straight up the mountain and return as soon as possible, but Murphy put forward the opposite opinion. He suggested that the two rest at the outskirts of the forest for one night, and then go on the road the next day.The road after going up the mountain is basically a dangerous road close to the cliff, and there is no way for people to have a good rest.And although Traphael couldn't see signs of fatigue from his face, Murphy still hoped that he could take a good rest. After all, unlike when they came, they didn't have any important things to deal with when they went back, so they didn't have to be so rushed.

The mage looked up at the gradually darkening sky, and didn't say anything to refute it, which was regarded as acquiescing to his proposal.

After tying their horses and lighting the fire, Murphy stood up and stretched his arms, and said, "Wait here, I'll go deep into the forest to see if I can get something to eat." Mosiah is also in a state of food shortage now, so they were unable to replenish any dry food when they left.

What Murphy didn't expect was that just after he said this, Traphael, who was sitting by the fire, stood up, straightened his robe and said, "I'll go with you."

His request, Murphy, naturally wished for it. As for practical issues such as what to do if the horse was attacked here, Murphy automatically ignored it--who cares about the horse if his sweetheart offered to act with him? .

But Traphael obviously still cared about the safety of those horses. Before leaving, he hung the coat of arms that he had been wearing on his body, which had a deterrent effect on wild animals, on the tree where the horses were tied, and then he followed Murphy with confidence. Go deep into the forest.

When looking for prey, Murphy warned: "The forest has experienced such a big change before, and the animals still in the forest must be very manic. Once something rushes out, you stand back. I am a high-level demon." Ordinary beasts can't hurt me, but you are not so strong, so don't get hurt."

In Traphael's view, these worries are unnecessary. After all, he is a war mage. Although his combat power is not too strong, he must still have the ability to protect himself.And judging from the current situation, instead of worrying about being attacked by restless wild beasts, you should worry more about whether you can successfully hunt the prey-beasts usually have a strong sixth sense, and before the tree people start migrating, there are already many Few animals have left this forest, and now the number of animals in the forest has dropped sharply. It is unknown whether they will be able to hunt prey tonight.

But he looked nervous and expectant, and Traphael swallowed back the unspoken rebuttal in a mysterious way, and nodded silently.

However, it turned out that not only Murphy, but even Traphael were too worried.Perhaps the number of animals in the forest is much less than before, but with Murphy's ability, especially in front of Traphael, he still has some super-level performance to show off his ability, and it is really great to catch enough prey for two people It is not difficult.

After dinner, the tiredness on Traphael's face could not be concealed. Murphy quickly cleaned up the leftover food and bones, spread out the blanket that Traphael took out, and urged Traphael to Phil quickly rested.

Traphael watched Murphy lay out the blanket, and then glanced at him with a half-smile.The two blankets are very close to each other. If a person sleeps inside, they can basically roll into each other's arms by turning over.Murphy's little thought was not concealed at all, and he felt a little proud when he saw that Traphael's attitude towards him had eased a lot.

Traphael's glance made Murphy feel uneasy, and that bit of confidence slowly dissipated in this glance.Just when he made up his mind that if Traphael asked him to keep the distance between the two of them apart, he would stick to him with his special Sapphire, Traphael looked away and walked away calmly. He went to the blanket, lifted a corner of the blanket and lay down in it.

His behavior was completely beyond Murphy's guess, which made Murphy a little dazed.Seeing that Murphy didn't respond for a long time, Traphael stood up and waved to him: "Don't be in a daze, let's rest quickly, we have to hurry tomorrow."

Murphy was awakened by Traphael's words, and he quickly walked to Traphael's side, and rolled himself into the blanket at once, as if he was afraid that the mage would go back on his word.

Seeing his flustered look, Traphael felt a little funny, and the corners of his mouth, which had been tensed all the time, relaxed.But it was only a slight arc upwards, then closed his eyes tiredly, turned his back and went to sleep.

At this time, Murphy didn't feel sleepy at all. He lay on the ground with his eyes open and stared at the treetops that were reddened by the fire, and he was quite flattered in his heart.For Murphy, Trafael's not rejecting him is almost equivalent to showing favor to him.Especially when he just went hunting, Traphael offered to go with him.

It's not uncommon for Trafael to propose that the two of them be alone before, but at that time he didn't trust Murphy, so it was all for the purpose of monitoring or warning.But this time, he just wanted to be by his side...

Thinking of this, Murphy could almost feel the body temperature of Traphael, who was only a punch away from him, passing through the thin blanket.The warm temperature spread up along the arms of the two, and it seemed to be getting hotter and hotter. By the time it reached the heart, it had already burned Murphy's heart.

Murphy couldn't help turning over, hesitantly wanted to ask for some more benefits, but when he turned around, he found that Traphael was breathing steadily and long, and he was obviously asleep.

Thinking of the tired face of the mage just now, Murphy couldn't bear to wake him up again, so he could only suppress the commotion in his heart, staring at the back of Traphael's black head in a daze.

As the moon gradually moved westward, Murphy's distracting thoughts gradually subsided.Accompanied by the chirping of insects in the forest, he also gradually fell into a drowsy drowsiness.Just when he was about to fall asleep, the people around him suddenly made a movement.Murphy didn't pay much attention, but then, a warm body rolled into his arms.

At this moment, Murphy's drowsiness disappeared all at once—wasn't he just waiting for this moment to come by spreading the two blankets so close together? !
