The team had a simple dinner and then sat around the campfire and chatted for a while.
Actually, the first half of the night was beneficial for Sean and Lucille, because they had just eaten and couldn't sleep anyway, so they could continue to chat for a long time...
As for the two brothers Sauron and Thor, they had no choice but to go to rest, otherwise they would be exhausted in the second half of the night.
Sean and Lucille were the only ones left in front of the campfire.
The cold wind was howling on the plateau... There were still a lot of mosquitoes, and I had to keep using magic to drive them away to make them less annoying.
It was late at night. Sean glanced at the door of the nearest tent next door. There was also someone on guard there. It seemed that there was a consensus among everyone that there was no trust when they were outside. As for the team, they just had a barely-matched spirit of contract. Otherwise, if there were conflicts within the team, they would be waiting to be slaughtered by others!
"It seems like the people over there have gone to bed too." Lucille suddenly looked in the direction Sean was looking and said.
"Well, after all, we have to travel tomorrow morning." Sean turned to Lucille. "Are you tired today? If you are, you should rest too."
The other party shook his head and grabbed Sean's arm...
“Not tired!”
His entire body was almost stuck to Sean.
In fact, Sean's attitude towards this person who is both his disciple and mentor is rather complicated. It's not that he has any improper thoughts. After all, the other party is the one he brought up. He brought her up when she was a child, and now she has grown up to be a beautiful girl.
In most cases, it may be more like family affection. There is an old saying in my hometown that a teacher is a father for life.
In the timeline, the affection for the little girl he has taken care of for such a long time would surpass many other emotions. However, at this time, Sean just doesn't remember what happened in the past ten years, otherwise the two would get along better.
This is a good thing, it won't be so awkward to see the grown-up Lucille when I go back later...
"Tired?"
"No, I'll lean on him for a while..." Lucille seemed to be very dependent on him and would often lean on Sean when she had nothing to do.
"tutor."
"how?"
Suddenly asked a question.
"What is the purpose of our trip to the highest mountains this time? Is it related to the purple crystal stone? Last time you just told us to go to the roof of the world but you didn't explain the reason." Lucille must have guessed about this action countless times in her mind.
However, she didn't ask if Sean didn't say anything.
Taking advantage of this moment, when the atmosphere was quiet and both of them were calm, she asked the question that had been hidden in her heart for days.
To be honest, in just over a month, the two of them actually came from the sea to the northern continent, passed through two countries to come to the plateau, and crossed half of the world map without knowing what they were going to do. It doesn't make sense.
Sean was silent for a moment. Lucille, noticing he didn't want to talk any more, quickly added, "If my mentor feels it's not right to tell me, that's fine. I'll just follow my mentor's lead!"
The tutor behaved very well.
In this respect, she is very different from what she was more than ten years later... Of course, one of the reasons is the swap of identities.
"It's not that I can't tell you, but I'm not quite sure myself. Before... on the day we first got the crystal in Mersin, I saw some illusions. You know, my ability allows me to see some vague illusions."
It seemed that Sean had told the other party about this matter, because Lucille mentioned it during another conversation.
Lucille believed that seeing the illusion was like a prophetic ability, and it was also a manifestation of her mentor's unique strength, so she did not disbelieve it, but admired it instead.
"So, Master, we were guided here by a vision?"
"Yes, I think the answer we are looking for should be here, but I don't know what that answer is yet," Sean said.
What I am looking for is the cause and effect mentioned by Yog-Sothoth.
If the other party is unwilling to tell, then go find it yourself. If you can unravel everything, then you won’t have to continue to be trapped in the struggle between the ancient gods, and all the stories will be answered.
This is the cause and effect that Sean wants...
"So that's how it is." Lucille nodded.
Since that was the reason, she stopped asking and lay quietly leaning on Sean's arm, as if she was fast asleep.
Suddenly he raised his head again...
"Teacher, someone is coming!"
"Um."
The two of them felt someone approaching almost at the same time.
In fact, you can't see the shadow of a person walking in the dark, because the light of the campfire is right next to you, and it makes your vision unable to fully adapt to the darkness. Therefore, if someone is walking in the dark, they cannot be seen under the campfire.
But for two high-ranking and alert people, even the slightest movement could be detected...
Sean stood up and looked towards the darkness behind him.
"Wait for me."
He pinched a ball of magic flame in his palm and threw it directly into the distance.
"Who is it?!" he shouted into the darkness.
moment,
There was still no response from the other side.
Then he formed a ball of flame in his hand...
"This attack will be a killing move." Sean said sternly.
This means that if you throw the ball randomly without holding back, it will be a direct attack.
"No, Mr. Wizard." The man in the darkness ran out hurriedly, and it turned out to be a big bald man!
The man was wearing a fur coat and there was a falcon-like animal resting on his shoulder. Sean took a look at the man and saw that his level was not high, only a level 6 Orderer. Then he introduced him as a tamer!
"Sorry, I accidentally entered your camp... I'm a member from the next door. My pet ran over here, so I came here to look for it." The big bald man said with a smile.
Soon, a ghost-like beast slowly appeared beside him.
The cat that looks like a leopard can actually become invisible!
Even Sean didn't notice...
If it was simply a matter of exploring invisibility, he could use magic to accomplish it, but Sean had rarely encountered an opponent capable of stealth over the years, and who would waste magic with an anti-stealth buff? Therefore, he didn't notice the beast at first.
The key is that beasts actually have levels!
In Sean's vision, a blood volume of [ ] appeared on the head of this ghostly leopard.
Tamer!
I'll go~
This level seems to be higher than that of humans. Could it be that beasts are their true form?
"So that's how it is." Sean waved his hand and directly extinguished the fireworks he had just thrown out.
This action attracted the attention of the ghost leopard, and it growled slightly. Fortunately, its owner was there to comfort it and it finally calmed down.
"I'm really sorry, my pet is rather difficult to discipline. Are you two also here to participate in this dragon-hunting mission?" asked the bald man.
