Above the Seven Towers

"Come on, Crete. Have some more." Hawke stuffed another piece of sugar into Crete's hand. "You look at the slippery packaging on it. This is heavenly goods. They brought it when they fell. It ’s better to eat one less one, anyway, it ’s much better than the new sugar cubes they made in the factory. "

"You, don't you eat?" Crete still came to the third camp today to deliver the letter. When he went out, he was stopped by Hawke, who was working, and jammed two sugars.

"Hey, I'm an adult, and I like this one more." Hawke took a cigarette out of his pocket, sniffed it under his nose, and put it back in his pocket quite reluctantly. "Again, I am a library manager. , I still have a lot of tight things assigned to the mine. "

"Thank you." Crete expressed gratitude with sugar, "Your work is so good, surely everyone is envious?"

"Envy a fart, better than you can live in a castle?"

"But I'm a messenger these days." Crete's mood was a little low.

"Isn't anyone taught you magic yet?" Hawke's tone was a little angry, "I want to say, you don't owe Master Xiao Chen, he is so unfair to you. He should at least let other magicians, even if they are A magic apprentice is also acceptable. Can you show you something? "

Crete ate sugar and shook his head: "I haven't seen any other magician, except Ms. Luo Ling and that Andrew Mage, but they have their own affairs to be busy. The apprentices have never seen one."

"None of them?" Hawk observed him for a while, and whispered, "How about I take you to relax? I met a lot of friends in the camp. These people are some interesting guys. They bent up today. Dinner gathering. "

Crete looked up at Hawke and said hesitantly: "Thank you, I think it's okay. It's not too early, I should go back to the castle."

"Will they look at you?" Hawke asked.

"That wouldn't be so. I live in a single room by myself. Even if I don't go at night, no one will control me."

"That's not very good. You and I went to meet the guys and then lived in the camp." Hawke put his head to Crete's ear and whispered, "There are a few people in the camp who will Secretly, it will also bring game. There are two more coming from the pier that will bring fish. You have n’t eaten so well in the city? The chance is rare. "

"How come you have so many people together, don't you say you can't run around at night?" Crete asked with a worried face.

"Hey, there are more people in the camp. How many guards are there? Besides, we just eat something fresh and talk about it. It's nothing to be found."

When the sky was really dark, Hawke took Crete to the edge of the camp, where there were several large warehouses with debris. He walked out of an obscure side door. Knocked on the door rhythmically.

After a while, the door opened a slit.

The people inside seemed to have looked at them for a while and said, "Newcomer?"

"Yes, rest assured, everything is in accordance with the rules." Hawker hugged Crete's shoulder, "my little brother Crete."

The people inside said nothing, opened the door, turned and walked in.

The house seemed dark, and there was no one. Crete glanced at Hawk hesitantly. The latter grinned: "Don't worry, come with me."

Crete followed Hawke's footsteps into the house. When he walked through the door, the room became brighter, like suddenly many lights were lit at the same time. In other words, it is more like suddenly entering a new world illuminated by lights.

At the same time, he found that the room was not empty, but there were many people sitting or standing, talking to each other, eating. As he stepped into the room, there was a noise. If not most of these people were wearing coarse clothes, he almost felt it was a reception for nobles. However, just before entering the door, he heard no sound.

When Crete came in, almost everyone noticed them, and many people stopped talking and turned to look at him. These people are young and old, but Crete found that these people in the house, no matter how they stood and sat, or what they talked about, were not like civilians. Several of his bodies were too strong, reminding him of knights and mercenaries, and some of the mysterious gods were like legendary casters. This made him nervous, so he stood at the door at a loss.

Hawk saw Crete in a daze, and said with pride: "There are capable people among us! I heard that this is a magic circle, which can make people outside the house feel that there is no one in the house. However, it has nothing to do with us. Come with me and we will find some food. "

The crowd of people gradually dissipated. Hokra took Crete to a table. There was no delicate food on the table. Only a few pottery dishes and bowls were grilled game, fish and some common fruits. Hawke grabbed a piece of rabbit meat and handed it to Crete: "Try it."

The smell of meat is mixed with burnt flavor, and the taste is very tempting with the addition of some unknown plants. Crete took a bite and smiled contentedly.

auzw.com "Is it worth a visit?" Hawke picked up a rabbit leg and said while biting.

"However, there is a tavern in the camp, which is more lively than here. Why don't these people go there?" Crete asked.

"Tavern?" Hawk sneered. "Look at the people here, each of us has a great future. For example, me, my generations have been the viscounts of the southern city-state for many generations! Our family even had two dragon blood warriors, That ’s the real blood of the Red Dragon. It ’s called the rabbit guy. ”Hawke pointed to a middle-aged man with a hunched waist not far away.“ Baron Norton, the Empire, shot a good arrow. ”

Hawke introduced a lot of people in the room, almost everyone had a background, and the worst was a knight servant.

"You said, even if we people become slaves because of war or crime, can we stay with those real mud legs? I can even recite seven or eight poems, but they don't even know one letter. So, We high class people have to have their own place. "

Crete heard the words, put down the meat in his hands, and lowered his head and said, "Then why are you bringing me here? Sing to these people?"

"How is it possible!" Hawke cried. "You are already a master apprentice. What a noble identity is enough to join our group. There is a saying in our south. A master reaches an earl, and an apprentice at least one. Cavalier! You haven't found out that you are already a superior. "

"But I can't do any magic." Crete said.

"It doesn't change anything. The identity is what you are, not what you will be." Hawk said nonsense and continued to solve the rabbit leg, "And, I think some people here may be able to help you . "

"help me?"

"Of course, when we entered the house, was the magic block that blocked the light magical? Can't you learn this skill first?" Hawk said, waving at the distance.

Soon, a young man older than Hawke came. The man was thin and tall, and looked like a sick seedling who couldn't help the wind. He walked like he was floating. However, his dark purple eyes were very divine, and the thin lip line pursed together seemed to indicate that he was a determined person. The man was also wearing coarse clothes, but there was a huge one on it, which Crete knew, indicating that he was from Camp No. 1.

"Hawke, what is this troublemaker looking for me?" The young man's voice was a little low.

"Is there any smoke?" Hawke asked, staring at the young man's pocket.

The young man frowned and drew a cigarette out of his pocket and threw it on the table, "Why don't you die."

Hawke snapped cigarettes on it and pointed to Crete: "Lorenzo, guess who this is?"

"Hey." The young man laughed. "It's really a young guy with fine skin and tender meat. It's whiter than a woman. Could it be that the young master of any family in the south has fallen here?"

"No, Crete is much better than any young master." Hawke shook his head proudly.

"Crete? Where did I seem to have heard the name, is he the new apprentice received by Master Xiao Chen?"

"It's not! This is Master Xiao Chen's fancy! Crete is now my good friend." Hawker put the cigarette on a candle and took a beautiful breath.

Lorenzo looked at Crete carefully again, and suddenly his face was surprised. He closed his eyes slightly and said something in his mouth. He opened his eyes and said: "Mr. Xiao Chen's vision is good, I feel his huge Potential, in the field of magic, he must be able to go very far. It is strange that Master Xiao Chen has accepted him as an apprentice for a long time? How come these potentials have not been developed at all? "

"That is, he hasn't learned anything yet. You don't know, Master Xiao Chen left here a few days ago. Crete, anxious to learn his skills, was very anxious." Hawke patted Kerry. Special shoulder, "How about, how about teaching him your tricks?"

"Me? He has a teacher of his own. And, I'm not a mage, I'm just a half pendant poet."

"But your tricks are also spells, aren't you? You see, things are simple. Crete's teacher is obviously too busy and he can't learn anything. If you can help him, let him learn a few things first. , So that he will not be laughed at as a mage apprentice who can't do any magic. Maybe he can help you in the future. "Hawke said with his ashes.

Lorenzo shrugged and said: "We people don't pay as much attention to inheritance as the mage. However, I will only have some gadgets with limited effects, otherwise, I will not stay in camp 1 for a long time. Well, teaching also It's okay. Our group of people get together, just like a family, and they help each other. But the most important thing is, do you want to learn? "

Crete was a little overwhelmed, and whispered for a while: "Isn't I angry when I learned this Master Xiao Chen? Also, how do you need me to return you?"

"I don't think so. There's no conflict here. If the apprentice becomes strong, should the tutor be happy?" Lorenzo asked in return. "It's meaningless to say that the reward is, since you are a good friend of Hawke, it's like My brother is the same. And I still owe Hawke a favor. What do you say? "

"I am willing." Crete nodded at last.
