Wizards of the North

At midnight, the waning moon rose from behind the mountain, and silver light immediately covered the lake. First, a string of bubbles emerged silently from the bottom of the lake, and then the light and shadow on the lake began to change, gradually turning into a gate. The door slowly opened, spreading the silver light on the lake to both sides, forming a shadow that reached the shore of the lake.

Seeing this, Beth and Paul walked into the shadows holding Joey from left to right. Then the gate slowly closed, and silver light covered the lake again.

...

If it weren't for Beth and Paul's kidnapping, Joey would not have stepped into the shadows. It was just two people on the left and the right, making him unable to struggle, and could only watch the shadow getting closer.

For a moment, he even suspected that his life was not guaranteed. But it went dark, then lit up, and then realized that he was already between the pavilions and towers.

Looking up, the surrounding mountains are still turbulent, but there is an extra layer of light in the line of sight.

"Where is this?"

"Our new home." Beth reacted immediately, "under the lake."

Joey raised his head again, and looked over the top of his head carefully. "Will no one find it?"

Paul interjected and explained: "Unless it is those transcendent beings, it is possible. But I heard Baipao said that these people will not come to this continent for the time being."

"Also including the Great Wizard of the North?"

"It should be. Don't worry if it's not." Paul pointed to the surroundings. "No one found this place back then, and now it shouldn't be."

Joey breathed a sigh of relief, "So, what about your strength?"

"When we left that year, we chose to keep the fruit here. It's just that we are no longer wizards. Even if we can use the power of the fruit, we cannot use its full power."

As they were talking, two groups of light rose from an attic and flew towards them.

This made Paul and Beth breathe a sigh of relief at the same time, and Beth softly explained with joy: "We dare not be too proactive, because we don't know if they remember us or whether they will accept us again.

A little carelessness may attract their counterattack, so they can only wait passively. Fortunately, they still seem to have some kind of connection with us. "

During the speech, two groups of light and shadow have flew to the front, rotating around Paul and Beth respectively. From time to time, I tried to blend into them, but I couldn't find a way.

This made Paul and Beth sigh in unison--

Joey asked, "What's the matter?"

"We are just two mortals now, and we no longer have the ability to incorporate them into our bodies. At least, there is no way in the short term." Paul sighed, "Don't worry, I have found a solution."

"any solution?"

"Become a mage."

Beth turned her gaze from Fruit to Paul, "Mage?"

"Yes, Mage! This may be our only way out. Become a Mage and reconnect with magic. I think this shouldn't be difficult, after all, we have fruit.

I know what you are worried about, but we must take this risk. How long do you think we can live if we maintain our mortal body?

What's the point of this time for us? When death comes again, can we wake up again? Even if you wake up, how much does it have to do with us today?

Moreover, what I regarded as a treasure might not be a big deal in the eyes of the great wizard. "

"Do you have a basis?"

"Yes, there is more than one map. Someone wants to dedicate the map to the great wizard and want to get his asylum. But in exchange for a very disdainful reply-go!"

Hearing this, Beth couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Paul also smiled and continued: "Many signs indicate that the great wizard really doesn't care. In fact, this is what I worry about the most. If he cares, we have a chance to get shelter.

However, he doesn't care. "

Joey shook his head, "No, he cares! He cares about you, not the fruits you regard as treasures. Think about it, why did he say that on the boat?

Think about it again, why did he send the white robes here? And this inexplicable expedition, and more and more alien wizards appearing here.

What he cares about is different from what we care about. "

Joey sighed, "It's like—I care about Beth's safety the most, and then you. Worrying about you is more afraid of Beth being hurt by it.

In fact, I think the Great Wizard should be like this too. He doesn't care about the fruits in your hands, or your lives, but there may be other reasons that the Great Wizard will provide you with shelter.

It's like—he suddenly appeared on the boat and guided you here.

Don't be happy too early, I think what you should worry about most is peeping from other directions. But how should we return, and how should we seek asylum? "

Paul was silent for a moment, "As long as we can go back, it is not difficult to obtain asylum. Whether it is running to Yingyue City or joining the white robe, we should be able to ensure our safety.

But I really don't know how to return, nor did I think that I would really gain something before I set off. I just didn't want to feel sorry, so I chose to try it. "

Paul looked up at the high mountains outside, as if countless peeping eyes were looking here. When I came here, I was relaxed, so I didn't worry about others' peeping. Now that he is carrying a lot of treasure, the whole person has become uneasy.

Joey thought for a while, "You don't have to go back, hide here for the time being, and give it to me outside first."

Beth blinked and hesitated slightly, "——I, go back with you, the fruit is here temporarily."

"No! You just wait here. I said-there is me outside."
