On that midsummer day in the 950th year of the 4th Calendar of Pegasus, this scene that happened at the east gate of Gangqi seemed to ordinary people to have nothing to do with their lives, and it was just more fun to talk about after dinner. But in fact, it is like lava erupting in the deep sea. It seems calm, but it is about to set off huge waves. Li Yan Alexander, a name that was quoted and sung by poets thousands of years later, left a heavy mark in the secret files of the Mage Association for the first time. ¡ª¡ª"The Legendary Mage in the World" by Brewster Allen Folsom, written in the 88th year of the 3rd Calendar of Company.
(PS: To be honest, when I was 18 years old, when I announced my private Christian name of "Ellen" to the surprise of all my family members at my coming-of-age ceremony, my father beat me severely. After a meal, I was imprisoned for three days and almost died []
I couldn¡¯t change my mind even though I was dying of thirst. That's one of the two things I'm most proud of in my life, the other being successfully fitting my ring on Meghan's ring finger. )
A slight moan broke the cold silence in the thick ink. I don't know how long it took. Li Yan opened his eyes again. Although his head was still dizzy, there was no more severe pain like a brick in his head, and his body also felt numb. From paralysis to weakness, this is good news, indicating that he is slowly recovering.
A hard, cold touch came from behind. Li Yan frowned. The hard and flat body underneath did not seem to be natural. Was he rescued? The thumb of his left hand gently wiped his index finger. The slightly raised hardness made the movement of the thumb uncomfortable. The empty ring was still there, and he breathed a sigh of relief. The magic book in the ring was the fundamental guarantee for his strength.
His eyes rolled. The darkness prevented him from seeing anything, including his eyelids, and his mental energy was sluggish. He could barely maintain his semi-awake consciousness at this time. Li Yan simply closed his eyes and rested peacefully.
Just when he closed his eyes, a group of blue fireworks quietly emerged a few meters away from him. The tongues of flames danced out ghost faces, reflecting a figure that seemed to be embedded in the darkness.
'Light! ¡¯ Although he closed his eyes, Li Yan immediately noticed the faint changes in light and dark caused by the blue light shining on his eyelids. Without turning his head quickly, Li Yan just slowly opened his eyelids and turned his eyes to look at the source of the light. This was a wise choice. In this state, violent movements will only bring greater burden to the body. If an accident occurs, It doesn't even help.
The blurry vision gradually became clearer. The first thing that caught his eye was the strange flame burning in the air and the withered fingers holding the flame. The perspective moved. The rickety body was hidden under the dark hooded robe, and the blue light illuminated the hood. The face underneath was clearly illuminated, with long and thin cheeks, layers of wrinkles on the dead white skin on the face, and dead fish-like eyes looking straight ahead, which was so weird and chilling that it also made Li Yan felt as if he had traveled through the world of a horror movie.
"Hehe." Seeing Li Yan looking at him, the old man suddenly laughed slyly, and the old and hoarse laughter echoed in the dark space.
"You saved me?" Li Yan gently drummed his throat, his voice so hoarse that even he almost didn't recognize it.
The old man still stood there hunched over, not even a tremor in his body. His cloudy eyes looked ahead quietly. After a full five seconds, he began to move his lips and make a hoarse voice: "Hehe, save people? How far away is that?" His deeds? It¡¯s so far away that I didn¡¯t know there was such a boring thing in this world, hehehe. You just appeared in front of me at the right time, well, why should I say ¡®that¡¯s it¡¯?¡±
Seeming to be caught in doubt, the old man straightened his rickety body slightly. The words he spoke were clearly questions, but his tone was dead white and did not reflect any emotion.
After only a second, the old man gave up on the issue and continued: "If it were half an hour earlier, you would see the God of Death, and half an hour later, you would also meet the God of Death, but the process would be different. Hehe, um, here we go again.¡±
"I hate these two words!" Suddenly the old man waved his right hand and shouted angrily. His eyes were so frightened that they seemed to pop out. A huge, hoarse roar filled the entire space in an instant. This voice broke through arrogantly. Entering Li Yan's ears actually made him produce
It¡¯s like being trapped in an angry sea!
The flame held by the old man danced rapidly with the withered right hand. Not only did it not go out, but when it was doused with gasoline, it suddenly swelled and spurted out dazzling tongues of fire. In the tongues of fire, countless ghostly faces flashed like weeping and laughing. The whole body of the old man seemed to be blown up by huge waves.The wind caused the robes to flutter violently, and a strong power mixed with the aura of death emanated from the skinny body, like a god of death! This kind of power was not inferior to the Chimera in the Twilight Forest, and it oppressed Li Yan so much that it became difficult to breathe.
Fortunately, the old man's madness came suddenly and went away quickly. Within three seconds, he returned to his unwavering posture. But Li Yan, who originally felt that this old man was strange, became even more wary of him.
Under Li Yan's gaze, as if nothing had happened just now, the old man turned his head to face him with his dead fish eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Hey, why did I catch you at that perfect time? Because you It¡¯s a person.¡±
'one person? Before Li Yan could react from these words, the old man suddenly stretched out his left hand to him. A one-inch-long crystal bottle appeared in his skinny palm. Under the blue light, Li Yan could clearly see the inside of the bottle. There was a dark green potion with flashing blue spots swaying.
'What's this? ¡¯ Before Li Yan could ask this question, darkness without warning enveloped his consciousness.
As if he knew what he was thinking, the old man chuckled and said, "Dream Potion."
He moved to Li Yan and poured the potion into his mouth awkwardly.
"Sometimes, choosing to meet the god of death may be much better than living, hehehe." Still with an inexplicable smile, the old man staggered into the darkness, "hehehe"
