False prophecies kill people [Western Fantasy]

A dagger!

The danger of this thing is too strong, even if that unreasonable trust cut down most of Xie Yi's defenses, he still couldn't let Sexitus hold a dagger.

But then again, where did Sexitus' dagger come from?

He remembered that he had searched Sexitus for everything that could be used as a weapon in advance.

Xie Yi recalled nervously

·

Everyone knows that when you have a whole cold chicken in front of you, you're better off cutting it than grabbing it and eating it.

Therefore, Xie Yi took out the dagger in the basket and cut off a chicken leg.

Sexitus sat opposite him, waiting for his turn.

Then Xie Yi handed over the dagger naturally.

"Thank you." Sexitus just took the dagger.

·

It turned out that he gave out the dagger himself? !

What the hell happened and why did he do it?

He glanced at Sexitus defensively, always thinking that the other party might also have some kind of witchcraft, or else he would use tricks to confuse people, otherwise he would not be able to explain what happened.

"what happened?"

Sexitus didn't seem to notice Xie Yi's defense, and returned the dagger to Xie Yi with a natural attitude, "Are you going to rest in place for a while, or go straight forward?"

Xie Yi didn't speak, he frowned and looked at Sexitus, recalling his behavior for a while.

Not right, very wrong.

His sense of trust in Sexitus was completely unreasonable, and it was too weird.

Trusting someone you've just met and who's on the opposite side is an incredible thing in itself.What's more, Xie Yi is not easy to trust others.

Perhaps, Sexitus is the kind of person who can easily let people down. Xie Yi knows that there are everyone in this world, but this is the first time he has met someone like Sexitus.

But no matter what, he had to raise his guard.

This characteristic of Sexitus almost confused him. If Sexitus used the dagger in his hand to hit him abruptly just now, and then waited for an opportunity to escape, he might not even react. Hired.

Xie Yi didn't express his doubts, but he expressed them directly with actions.

He refused to let Sexitus drive the carriage any longer, and planned to tie him up again.

In order to prevent the opponent's resistance, he silently drew a rune of the confinement spell and slapped it on Sexitus' body.

Sexitus felt his body suddenly unable to move, he was annoyed and funny, "What's wrong with you?"

"You are very weird." Xie Yi put Sexitus's hands together and took out a rope to tie him up, "I suspect that you played some tricks on me to make me let my guard down, but you don't There will be another chance."

Xie Yi wound the rope round and round, tied it tightly, and placed spells on the rope and Sexitus' skin, so that even if the rope was cut, Sexitus' hands would still remain Can only stick together.

He tied the other end of the rope to his hand, and said coldly: "From now on, unless I speak, you are not allowed to talk to me, go inside the car, there is nothing for you here."

Afterwards, Xie Yi focused on recalling Sexitus's driving method. He felt that he had learned most of it and was qualified for the job of a groom.

His assumptions about himself were not wrong, as long as he didn't pursue speed, he could control the carriage very well.

The scenery on the road was still extremely monotonous, and every tree seemed to have the same appearance. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun gradually disappeared behind the cloudy clouds, and there was a dull thunder in the sky, and the air became stuffy.

It is going to rain.

The raindrops fell quickly, and the road became more and more muddy, and the white legs of the horses were almost blackened by the mud.The rain was getting heavier, and the roof of the car was crackling. Xie Yi avoided the trees and tried his best to find a cave.

Just six horses had already packed the cave tightly, and the carriage could no longer squeeze in. Fortunately, the roof of the carriage was made of wood, which was waterproof. Xie Yi hid in the carriage to avoid the rain, hoping that the rain would Can pass as soon as possible.

Sexitus was sitting inside, his hands were tightly bound, and he was blessed with witchcraft, but Xie Yi was still not at ease, and checked it carefully.

It was getting dark soon, and Xie Yi could no longer tell the exact time it appeared, but it was probably time for dinner.

He opened the basket and took out two portions of food out of habit.

Suddenly, he stopped and put one of the food back.

He can't be too kind to Sexitus. Sexitus is his captive. Although he can't be abused according to the usual practice, he can still be hungry.

Xie Yi ate dinner by himself, so the dinner was not fragrant, not delicious, the meat was still delicious at noon when he bit into his mouth, but the taste changed at night.

Sexitus found that Xie Yi didn't intend to provide him with dinner, so he didn't take the initiative to ask for it. He watched Xie Yi eat with calm eyes, without any salivation.

However, Xie Yi felt very uncomfortable being watched by him, turned her body away, and swallowed her dinner in a hurry.

The rain was loud, and Xie Yi used witchcraft to cast a lighting spell in the carriage, and the dark interior of the carriage instantly brightened.

There is a low table in the carriage, as well as paper and pens, and some books to relieve boredom. He flipped through the books, two love poems, and a restricted book whose content is not suitable for reading. It is also accompanied by detailed illustrations, Xie Yi I only opened it and glanced at it, then put it back in a hurry.

Books are not interesting, so you can only have fun with paper and pen.

He sat at the table, spread out the parchment, picked up the ink-soaked quill, and casually wrote a few fragmented sentences on the paper.

After writing casually for a while, listening to the sound of rain outside the window, he brushed his chin with the tip of a soft feather.

Then he took up pen and wrote:

【rain】

It's raining,

Raindrops fall on the ground,

on the trees, on the leaves,

fell on the horses,

fall to the ground,

crackling crackling,

It's raining,

Raindrops fell on the roof of the carriage.

He signed his name at the end of the poem, not his real name of course, but the so-called "stage name" he gave himself.

Although he is still a poor poet who is not even a third-rate poet, he still hopes that one day, he will become famous—as a poet, of course—and bards will sing his poems, People would copy his poems with pens and praise him.

It's a pity that he hasn't discovered his talent in poetry so far, and he can't even figure out the meter, but he just dreams of becoming a great poet, thinking that his "free style" might lead the way in the future. fad.

To tell the truth, Xie Yi doesn’t really like literature, he is very slow to those metaphors and rhetoric, he is rarely interested in the romance of literature, and he doesn’t feel any emotion when he sees roses under the moonlit night, but the strange thing is, he just I have a soft spot for poetry.

However, it is difficult for a wizard to write poetry, and it can almost be called shameful. After all, the rationality of a wizard is incompatible with the sensibility of poetry, not to mention such a bad poem. He never reveals this secret. I asked people to comment on a few poems, but what I got was either ridicule or kind advice—advising him to change his career as soon as possible, because he is not suitable for poetry.

Xie Yi blocked the content on the paper with his body to avoid being seen by Sexitus. He looked at the poem he wrote and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. After reading it for a long time, he rolled up the paper and threw it away. .

"What are you doing?"

Sexitus asked.

Xie Yi was not in a good mood, but when he heard Sexitus' question, his tone softened subconsciously: "I..."

As soon as the words came out, he noticed his tone, adjusted immediately, and asked coldly: "What does this have to do with you? There is no need to report to you what I am doing, right?"

"How dare I ask you to report it?" Sexitus was not angry, but found it interesting. "I just want to know what you are doing. Look, I'm tied up and bored."

"I don't intend to pry into your privacy, how about you tie one of my hands and leave the other to me, so that I can read a book to relieve my boredom?"

Xie Yi considered Sexitus' request for a while, and felt that it was not too much. The other party had been sitting withered since noon until now, and the boring taste should be enough.

He granted Sexitus's request, bound his left hand, and fixed it with magic so that it could not be freed, released his right hand, and gave him a pen and some paper.

After getting all this, Sexitus thanked Xie Yi, and raised another topic, trying to lure Xie Yi to talk to him.

But Xie Yi kept in mind what was wrong with Sexitus, and refused to talk to him anymore.

He turned his head aside, settled down to recall the witchcraft knowledge he had learned, and wrote them silently with a pen to pass the time.

Seeing Xie Yi, Sexitus ignored him again, and did not try to arouse Xie Yi's attention.He didn't want to be annoying.

He focused on the ball of paper discarded by the wizard, and took a while to pick it up.

Xie Yi heard Sexitus' movements, but he didn't turn his head to look.

Let him go, anyway, he is no threat now.

Only one hand is free, which is not conducive to unfolding a ball of paper, but Sexitus patiently unfolded it little by little.

Scattered sentences spread across the wrinkled paper, and below that was a short poem.

Apparently, that's what the wizard was just doing.

The verses are very lame, in Sexitus' opinion, but lame is very cute, even the handwriting is so cute, the sharp corner of the letter w looks like a bright temptation.

He took a book at hand as a backing board, put the spread paper on it, picked up the pen and wrote a short poem about rain on the blank space of the paper.

After that, he restored the paper ball to its original shape and put it back where it had been.

He picked up the book and read it, but the content in the book did not meet his appetite at all. He read the long love poem in a fit of boredom, and gradually found some interest, especially when the hero gave his heart. As a result, he watched with relish the part where the heroine didn't even glance at it.

Xie Yimo finished writing the knowledge he had mastered, and took away a few pieces of parchment.

He is still an apprentice wizard, and he doesn't have much witchcraft, so he can only fill a few parchments.

Xie Yi put down his pen and thought of the short poem he had thrown away. He was still a little bit reluctant. He looked for the discarded ball of paper with his eyes and reached out to pick it up.

When he picked up the ball of paper, he glanced at Sexitus by the way, and found that the other party was immersed in that boring love poem, and he seemed to like it very much.

Tch, boring.

Xie Yi withdrew his gaze, and unfolded the ball of paper in his hand, wanting to see if there was room for modification.

However, after unfolding the page, he found that there was an extra poem on it out of thin air. It was also written about rain, and it was also a short poem. This poem was a thousand times better than his in terms of wording, rhythm, and selected images. times.

Putting the two poems on the same piece of paper, they set off each other, making the better ones look better and the worse ones even worse. Xie Yi's poems were compared to a puddle of mud.

Poetry does not appear on paper out of thin air, there is only one suspect, and that is Sexitus.

Xie Yi was furious, he felt that Sexitus was laughing at him, otherwise why would he write such a good poem beside it?It must be on purpose!Xie Yi gave him a piece of paper, and if he wanted to write poetry, he could take another piece of paper to write on.

But he also liked the poems of Sexitus very much. He looked at it and saw that this was the poem he dreamed of writing.

Why can't he write such a good poem?This is so unfair.

Sexitus watched Xie Yi's every move, and asked at the right time, "What's the matter with you?"

It's good that he didn't speak, but when he opened his mouth, Xie Yi was almost certain that the other party's intention was to laugh at him, "What do you mean?"

"You are just a prisoner, you still dare to laugh at me, you annoy me, I want you to go outside to get wet in the rain!"

Xie Yi said: "It's all because I'm a novice. I'm so kind to you that you forget your situation. The rain outside may wake you up."

"Please don't be so angry." Sexitus smiled: "You said that I laughed at you, which is completely unfair to me. Please don't be so eager to punish me. Give me a chance to defend myself?"

Xie Yi glanced at him, and after a long while, snorted coldly: "Although I am a wizard, I am not unreasonable, so tell me."

"I don't write poems to laugh at you. I have no reason to do so. I was inspired by you and suddenly wanted to write some poems. Besides, I don't think your poems are bad. You probably didn't follow the teacher's advice. Have you ever studied poetry? I see many mistakes, but if you can make up for these shortcomings, your poems will be very good."

He changed the subject without a trace, Xie Yi's mind followed his words, he wanted to believe it, but he was very clear about his ability, half-believed: "Aren't you lying to me?"

"How dare I?" Sexitus looked sincerely, his pupils were a beautiful blue without any turbidity, Xie Yi was a little convinced, but he was still embarrassed to be seen by his poor poetry, He didn't show it, he just changed the subject and stopped talking about poetry.

"It's a bit late," he said.

Sexitus nodded in agreement, "You are quite right."

"Then," Xie Yi continued, "I think you're probably hungry?"

"Not hungry, but it's always good to have something to eat."

Xie Yi pushed the food basket over, "Eat it, eat whatever you like, anyway, I don't like the things in it."

He still spent the night in the carriage at night, before going to bed, Xie Yi hoped that the rain would stop when he woke up tomorrow morning.

However, he was disappointed. Not only did the rain not stop, but it tended to fall more and more. The ground was covered with water, and the grass turned into a swamp.

The rain was still falling, and judging from the clouds in the sky, it would not stop for a while.

Six horses, who had been sheltering from the rain in the cave, came out of the cave. They were hungry and would rather eat some grass to fill their stomachs in the rain.

Xie Yi lifted the curtain of the car and took a look outside. It was raining heavily, the temperature dropped, and there was a slight chill in the air.

The rain was so heavy that it was unreasonably heavy. The rainwater wet the siding of the carriage, and a trace of moisture penetrated into the carriage.

Xie Yi had no choice but to move the carriage to the cave.

The cave was not that big, and after moving the carriage inside, there was only a narrow gap left.

"How long will it rain?"

He looked up at the sky, trying to see through the thick dark clouds what was going to happen next.

It rained continuously for a day and a night, and there was dampness everywhere, and the rainwater spread into the cave.

Xie Yi only used the cave as a temporary shelter at first, but now, maybe they will stay here for a few more days, he decided to expand the cave a little bit.

He is still an apprentice wizard, and he doesn't have much witch power. Expanding the cave is quite exhausting for him. Before doing so, he has to find a way to control Sexitus in advance.

Xie Yi couldn't let Sexitus escape, otherwise, his status as a wizard apprentice would be directly deprived by the wizard assembly.

After all, the wizards did not have high requirements on the health status of the captives. In order to prevent the captives from escaping, the wizard apprentices could cut off the captives' hands and feet as much as possible, so it couldn't be more safe.

Even, some wizard apprentices thought it was too troublesome to escort the captives. They killed the captives directly and brought a corpse back without any criticism. Some wizards even encouraged their apprentices to do this. It's much more convenient to be a living person, that can save a lot of time, and wizard's time is very precious.

Under such loose requirements, if any wizard apprentice let his captive escape, it could only mean that he was either too stupid or too weak.

Wizards disdain the company of the stupid and weak.

Xie Yi didn't want to cut off Sexitus' hands and feet, and he never even thought about it.Let alone kill Sexitus.

He didn't want to lose his status as a wizard apprentice, so he couldn't let Sexitus escape, but he didn't want to hurt Sexitus either. After thinking for a while, Xie Yi decided to tie Sexitus' left hand so that he couldn't escape.

Afterwards, Xie Yi thought about expanding the cave. In order not to hurt himself, he used a relatively mild corrosion spell to double the size of the cave.

After the size of the cave expanded, they finally had a place to move around. However, this also exhausted most of Xie Yi's magic power, and he needed time to recover.

As an apprentice wizard, he didn't recover his witch power quickly, because he was not yet qualified to learn meditation, so he could only rely on natural recovery.

The speed of natural recovery is not fast, it takes at least three days.

After nightfall, he didn't choose to cast the lighting spell, but lit a fire. He sat by the fire, looking at the food in the dining basket, feeling a little worried.

Food was running out, too, and what if the rain didn't stop after they had eaten everything?

Sexitus was looking after the six horses at the entrance of the cave. His left hand was bound with a magic rope, so he couldn't get out of the cave, but he was basically free.

Xie Yi thought about it, however, suddenly, there was a loud bang above his head, and under the washing of the rain, the mud rushed down the mountain with loose stones, everything was so sudden, it was just a blink of an eye Suddenly, sand and gravel shook from the top of the cave like raindrops, followed by a heart-pounding loud noise.

At this most critical moment, Xie Yi only had time to loosen Sexitus' shackles. The next second, he felt something hit his right arm and calf heavily, and there was a buzzing sound in his ears. , darkness and pain enveloped him.

It all happened so quickly and it ended unexpectedly.

It's still raining, but it's over.

A large pile of rubble was blocked between Xie Yi and Sexitus. Xie Yi suffered relatively serious injuries, while Sexitus, because he was at the entrance of the cave at that time, only suffered a little aftermath of the collapse, and only a few scrape.

The little scrape was just because he subconsciously wanted to go to Xie Yi, otherwise he wouldn't even break the skin.

Xie Yi was trapped in the stone pile, weak and unable to move because of the severe pain, while Sexitus was completely free, and even the witchcraft that bound him was undone.

He can leave directly, so that he is free, it is a great opportunity sent by God, even any fool will not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Sexitus just needs to move his legs and walk away.

However, he didn't feel a little lucky because of this unexpected freedom. Panic seized his heart, and he walked in quickly, separated by the rocks, his voice was a little trembling: "Xie Yi?"

no answer.

"Thank you!"

He raised his voice and called again.

Xie Yi responded weakly, although most of his voice was covered by the sound of rain, Sexitus still heard him.

His panic eased slightly, and then he was worried because of Xie Yi's weak voice: "Are you okay?"

Sexitus tried his best to maintain the composure of his voice, and at the same time, he began to remove the stones with his bare hands.

"Not too good, I think." Xie Yi replied weakly, he wanted to say something more, but shut up again.

——In the final analysis, the relationship between Sexitus and him is nothing more than the relationship between the jailer and the prisoner. The jailer is in trouble, and the prisoner should be happy.

What can he say?

Can he count on Sexitus to rescue him?

This is simply ridiculous and absolutely impossible.

Perhaps after Sexitus confirmed his situation, he would simply leave. He had a good reason to do so, and it was reasonable, and there was nothing wrong with it.

The pain affected Xie Yi's ability to think. He didn't want to die, but he was unwilling to humbly beg Sexitus to save him. Even if he begged, and miraculously, Sexitus was a saint and was willing to save him. Sexitus probably couldn't do anything about it. After all, this is the force of nature. Who can move so many and such heavy stones?

Who would do that for his enemies?

He kept silent, quietly enduring the pain and tinnitus, trying to find a way to keep himself alive.

It would be great if he had the healing potion, then all difficulties would be solved, but he has no qualifications and no chance to touch the healing potion, and he doesn't have a space ring, only one hand that can move freely and the blood in his body are left. A little witch power, what is this enough for?

He was in so much pain that he couldn't hear anything, and the more time passed, the worse he was in pain, and he couldn't feel anything except the pain of the wound.

Xie Yi couldn't hear or see.

until something touched his face.

Soggy, sticky, and lukewarm.

That's a hand.
