As if fulfilling Ash's wish, when he returned to his body again, he happened to see the last rays of sunset fading away in the distant sky, and night fell instantly.
The long, sunny day came to an end and the curtain fell.
It's getting dark.
The street lights in the Stonehenge lit up, and the orange light enveloped the entire city.
Before Ash could fully experience the feeling of having his body back, he could not help but hug himself trembling, "Achoo," "Achoo," "Achoo"... he sneezed violently several times in a row.
So cold!
The cold wind blew, penetrating through every gap in his clothes and taking away his body temperature.
Only then did Ash realize that he was actually on the lookout tower on the wall of Stonehenge. He was at the top of the tower, a small square area where he could fall if he turned around.
“……!”
Ash was stunned. It was so high? How was he supposed to get down?
"Ash!" Someone was calling his name under the tower. It was Yelena's voice.
Ash carefully poked his head out and saw Yelena jumping and dancing under the city wall.
"Do you want to come down?" Yelena put her hands to her mouth and shouted to him, "You can just jump down, I will catch you!"
Ash believed Yelena and immediately planned to stand up slowly and jump down.
But when he was halfway up, his face changed drastically, his usually calm face showed a trace of distortion, and he fell back to sit again.
Hiss, it hurts!
My limbs felt like they had done strenuous exercise, extremely sore, numb and itchy, as if countless small insects were biting my bones and muscles, which was much more torturous than simple pain. It was also like this during the days of training in Duogu Village, but the degree was much milder than now.
Not only his limbs, but his stomach also felt bloated, as if the food had been stuck in his throat. The moment he stood up just now, he almost vomited.
So full!
What did Sigourney do with his body?
Two answers came to Ash's mind: fighting, and overeating and drinking.
In fact, he understood both. The former was probably because of the tower capture mark on his hand. He would never be at peace if he was involved in the tower capture. As for the latter... it was not easy to eat food other than blood, so he could not expect Sigourney to control herself.
He understood, but Ash still felt helpless as he touched his round belly.
I can't even move. Do I have to sit in the watchtower and wait for the digestion to finish?
"Ash, why aren't you moving?" Yelena was getting impatient and simply flew up and hovered in front of Ash. "Are you afraid of heights and dare not jump? Give me your hand and I'll take you down."
"I... burp." Ash opened his mouth to explain, and a burp came out slowly. His face turned red, and his light blue eyes looked at Yelena embarrassedly. Now there was no need to explain, Yelena should understand his difficulties.
Yelena looked at him sympathetically. She had been following behind Sigourney since the beginning. She was mainly worried that Sigourney and Ash would suddenly switch places and Ash would be unsafe in an unfamiliar environment. Sigourney seemed to have thought of this as well. Even though she noticed her following, she did not refuse but accepted her following.
She followed behind Sigourney, watching him eat from one store to another, from one street to another, his expression changed from shock and astonishment to trance, then to numbness, and finally to indifference.
What happened to the bloody storm you promised to unleash?
Yelena felt deeply deceived.
Although he also accepted some secret attempts from other challengers, his attitude was obviously not sincere enough. He just frightened others and made them retreat quietly out of fear. He had no intention of pursuing the victory and eliminating several competitors. The rest of the time was spent on shopping! Eating!
I should have known not to give him the gold coins! Yelena thought angrily, how could her admired future teacher be a foodie?
But the moves he made to scare off the other black-robed wizards were really cool!
Yelena is torn between admiration and disillusionment.
It was not until the sun was about to set that Sigourney flew up to the watchtower and lazily stretched out her limbs like a well-fed cat basking in the sun.
Yelena could only huddle in the corner and wait, feeling extremely miserable.
Until I heard those earth-shattering sneezes.
She burst into tears: "Ahhh! It's Ash who is back!"
…
Yelena took out a robe that looked familiar to Ash from her space bag and handed it to Ash: "Put this on, or you'll catch a cold."
Isn't this the robe that Yelena bought for him before? If this dress is with Yelena, then what is he wearing now?
Ash lowered his head in confusion, then raised his arms to look at himself: it was a slim-fitting silk robe that outlined his body lines perfectly. The color was a particularly eye-catching ruby red, and the collar and cuffs were rippled and embroidered with large flower patterns, which was particularly gorgeous.
Ash: “…”
He sniffed his red nose from the cold, silently took the robe from Yelena's hand and put it on himself.
“Hahahaha.” Yelena couldn’t help laughing when she saw his bewildered look. “I didn’t think much of it when I saw Sigourney wearing it just now. But now that you’re back, Ash, it suddenly feels so weird! Strange, it’s obviously the same face… It seems that only someone with Sigourney’s aura can pull off this style.”
Ash thought about Sigourney's face and nodded in agreement.
"Oh, right." Yelena took out a bottle of potion, "Sigourney threw it to me before, a digestive potion. I almost forgot about it. Ash, here you go, drink this and wait a while, you will feel much better."
She complained: "Now that you've thought of this, just drink it yourself."
Ash pulled out the cork, drank the dark potion in one gulp, and then bit the tip of his tongue and inhaled. It was so unpalatable! He probably knew why Sigourney didn't drink it herself.
"Tell me when you feel better." Yelena flew around the top of the tower, "So I can take you down to rest. We still need to find a new hotel. But there is good news. Signy walked around the city openly today. Almost all challengers know him. And after being tested several times, his strength has been recognized by others. The tests should stop in the next few days."
Ash listened to her and raised his hands to pinch his sore arms and thighs. From his overused body, he could tell the result of Sigourney's victory today.
He couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his eyes. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt his eyes were tired. But he wouldn't need to use his eyes to fight against the black-robed wizards in secret, right?
He asked Yelena to confirm: "My eyes seem to be swollen?" It was very difficult to blink.
Yelena seemed to recall something, and her expression twisted: "It is swollen."
"Why is it swollen?" Ash asked curiously.
Yelena looked strange: "Crying."
Ash: "..." No, no way?
Under Ash's sparkling eyes, Yelena couldn't resist and poured out Sigourney's whole day like beans from a bamboo tube.
Ash listened with great interest.
The night in Stonehenge is also bustling and noisy. It gathers merchants and mercenaries from all directions, as well as various forces that have recently flocked to seize the tower. Even when it is late at night, the city is still brightly lit and bustling with people.
Ash and Yelena stayed in the watchtower until nightfall, then quietly landed along the city wall, planning to find a new hotel in the city.
However, they had only taken a few steps when their way was blocked by a tall and strong young man.
The young man has deep and handsome facial features, brown skin, and a calm and heavy temperament. He is the type that people can easily trust and rely on.
"Where else do you want to go?" He said in a low voice, calling out the name, "Ye! Len! Na!"
***
The third wizard tower.
When Sigourney returned to the room, she found herself sitting on the sofa.
He immediately noticed something wrong with the room - it was too tidy!
His immediate reaction was to frown, he really didn't like others messing with his information, especially the rough drawings of his inspiration animation, which seemed to be thrown all over the place, but were actually in a certain order.
But soon, he realized that all these things were still in their original places. The only things that were put away were the clothes that he didn't care about, which were neatly folded and placed in a corner - maybe he didn't find the hidden wardrobe?
In short, it was arranged to his liking.
and……
Sigourney felt the feeling of fullness from her body, and when she looked around, she found that the lunch box that Nance had brought was gone.
He was in mixed feelings. Did that boy drink all the blood?
Thinking about what she had done with Ash's body... Sigourney raised her hand and touched the tip of her nose awkwardly. Rarely, she felt a little guilty and apologetic.
To make up for this apology, he contacted the Radiant Throne's forces in Stonehenge.
Although no one would bother Ash anymore due to his performance today, he should still be protected by his forces just in case.
Yelena said that Ash came out with her voluntarily and wanted to learn magic and become a real wizard, so he would not arrange for someone to send Ash back to their Duogu Village.
Even though he's a troublesome contract partner...
Tsk, come on.
