Chapter 28
"Ling Xiao!"
The prophet Jiji's voice was hoarse, and he even lost his composure. He looked down the canyon excitedly, and shouted at the black-haired young man on the back of the giant beast.
The whole night, the damn storm lasted a whole night after it broke out yesterday.Although he had always firmly believed that the young man who miraculously landed on Terra would not have an accident so easily, but the endless roar of the hurricane outside the cave raged all night, coupled with the depressed and depressed expressions on the faces of the team members who escaped from danger, all of them Let Gigi's heart almost sink to the bottom of the valley.
He just watched Ling Xiao being engulfed by the black tide.
At that time, he firmly suppressed Basil, who was constantly struggling under his command. At the last moment, since Ling Xiao pushed Basil towards him, no matter what, he couldn't let Ling Xiao's wishes be wasted.
Until now, his silent and stubborn disciple refused to say a word to him.
Basil was blaming him.
But what does it matter?As long as Ling Xiao was at his beck and call without complaint every time, that young man who always smiled and helped sort out all kinds of ancient books and books, bottles and jars, as long as he came back safe and sound, nothing else mattered.
And now, he's finally back!
Even Prophet Jiji's sand-colored eyes were a little red at this moment.
The broken rocks on the ground began to whirl and fall towards the deep valley, and the hair and clothes of the orcs also made a sound of hunting.The crowd whispered, and began to disperse spontaneously on both sides of the not-so-wide mountain road.
Amidst the majestic momentum, the dragon's pitch-black body slowly appeared from the bottom of the cliff, and its wingspan, which was almost as wide as its body length, extended a huge shadow, and in the end, it was above all those who looked up. .
It is elegant, majestic, sacred.
Almost all the praiseworthy words can be applied to this giant beast that descended on the world at this moment.
"Go, Ling Xiao."
The giant dragon Anas turned her head and looked at the little dragon cub in Ling Xiao's arms full of nostalgia, and then her eyes turned to the black-haired young man, "Take care, child. May Thales bless you."
"Take care too, Anas."
Ling Xiao nodded solemnly, and on the solid and broad back of the giant dragon, holding the little dragon who was still sleeping unconsciously with one hand, he finally stood up straight.
Vibrating its wings, the dragon hovered in the air.In the turbulent and rapid airflow, every time he took a step, Ling Xiao's long black hair flew freely behind him, and his gray robes fluttered and bulged along with it.At this moment, the young man's walking posture is like a god stepping down from his throne.
"Ling Xiao—!"
With the rope hanging below the cliff, after Gail, the Ryder brothers, Mia, and the healer Ota, Basil was the last one to climb back to the mountain path.His eyes were anxious, and he glanced over the crowd to look around. When he touched the black-haired young man on the back of the giant dragon, an astonishing light flashed in his eyes that were red because he hadn't slept all night.
Basil's voice is hoarse, and the corners of his mouth are bruised and broken. His current image can be called a bit rough.He who was originally taciturn, since Ling Xiao fell off the cliff, except for the initial fierce attempt to break free from the Prophet Jiji's obstruction, he has not said a word.
He raised his head, and the only thing he could see was the young man standing on the back of the giant beast—he was facing him, extremely real and vivid.Basil looked at Ling Xiao, saw Ling Xiao also looking back at him, and then smiled on his face, Basil's heart suddenly beat violently at this moment.
The hand that was able to hold the sword steadily began to tremble uncontrollably. He rushed through the crowded crowd on the mountain road, stepped forward recklessly, and opened his hands—the hug seemed to be more joyful than him. He didn't care about the high altitude, and jumped off recklessly, the treasure he lost and recovered.
"Ling Xiao!"
"Master Ling Xiao!"
"Great, my lord! You're all right..."
In the past few days, the team members who got along with Ling Xiao began to crowd around each other in turn. Their chattering voices were extremely noisy, but in Ling Xiao's ears, it seemed that they were special. Happy and long gone.
Yes, happy.
The Prophet Gigi, Sardis, Mia, Gail, Ryder, and Centaur Ota and the other three fighters of the team were all there. Ling Xiao looked at the familiar faces, each of them Even Sardis, who had always been indifferent, had a happy look on his face.
Being hugged tightly by Basil, Ling Xiao's shoulders hurt, but his whole heart was warm.Ling Xiao didn't know what was wrong with him, but he couldn't help but wanted to smile.
"Master Sylvia led his people to search for you in a section of the canyon ahead." Seeing Ling Xiao looking around, the prophet Jiji quickly added to him: "As soon as the storm stopped, we released the letter. Coincidentally Lord Andrissim has also entered this mountainous area, he and his team rushed over immediately, and we are preparing to go down to the valley to find you together."
Among the crowd on the side of the mountain road, the leader of the centaur tribe scratched his head when he heard Jiji's direct roll call, and had no choice but to step forward.The man who looks unruly on the outside has the frank and bright eyes of a child. He looked straight at Ling Xiao and said, "Fortunately, our team is on the periphery, and we found that whirlwind far away! Everyone ran away Soon, looking back later, I picked up a lot of beast corpses that hadn’t run away, hahaha, hiss—”
Unsurprisingly, Andrissim's braids were dragged behind by a young man who was slamming his words. His unshaven face twitched, and he laughed stiffly: "Mr. , In short, it’s fine, it’s fine.”
"Thank you all."
Sincerely expressing gratitude to everyone around him, Ling Xiao couldn't say any sweet words, so he could only put his gratitude deep into his heart with a simple thank you.
Then, Ling Xiao patted Basil's hand, indicating that he could let go of himself.Unexpectedly, the silver-haired young man just let go of his hand and walked around behind him, as if he was afraid that he would run away, and hugged him from behind.
Ling Xiao couldn't laugh or cry, so he had no choice but to pull out his right arm with great effort, and wrapped it under the wide sleeve, the little dragon cub, who was awakened by the noise of the crowd, was twisting around and making a fuss, finally showed his face .
"Sir, what is this?"
"Hey, is it the cub of Flying Dolphin? It doesn't look like—"
"Ling Xiao, your shoulder... Basil, let me loose Ling Xiao!"
For a while, the people who had just calmed down for a short time began to bluff again like an oil pan was overturned, talking to each other.
"hold head high--!"
During the time when everyone surrounded Ling Xiao and asked this and that, the black dragon continued to climb until it reached a high altitude.She seemed unwilling to hover in place and have too much contact with the orcs on the ground.
The friendly and gentle Plains family loves the upright and bright soul, but at the same time hates and despises all the evils in the world.Their likes and dislikes are as clear and pure as their ancient blood-if they like you, they will not change their original intentions even if you let them be driven and controlled.But if it made the Plains family disgusted, no one would be able to reverse the arrogance of the Lord of the Sky.
The only exception to this unbreakable law is the former Tiva orcs, and now the Gutiva clan.Since ancient times, no one in the continent of Terra has been able to figure out what is causing the trouble. The giant dragons of Plains have always criticized all the orcs on the Saofeng Plain, looking down on them in one way or another.
The pleasing streamlined body hovered in the sky above Ling Xiao's head. After letting out a long roar, Ana Si sent her voice to Ling Xiao for the last time——
"Thank you very much for taking care of Adonis, I have to go."
"Goodbye, Ling Xiao."
Goodbye, Anas—
With such a long distance, Ana Si probably couldn't hear the voice of the exit, Ling Xiao could only say goodbye to her silently in his heart.He watched the gigantic beast galloping in the sky turn its head, flap its wings, and then went far away in an instant.
Withdrawing his gaze, Ling Xiao was a little puzzled—even though he was still in the Eye of Thales, there was still a basic direction.Gray Thorn Forest is located in the territory of the Holy Federation in the southwestern part of the mainland, but Anas is heading in the opposite direction to the northeast.Probably, she has other things to do first, maybe...
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao temporarily let go of the doubts in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, he was pulled by the prophet Jiji to the cave where the previous team had taken refuge. Ling Xiao remembered the half-person-high square stone at the entrance of the cave deeply, and it was the culprit that caused him to fall into the canyon.Ling Xiao was in a complicated mood, and was pushed down by Jiji on this rock and sat down. It wasn't until cold sweat broke out from his heavy body that he realized the fact that he was about to lose strength.
Because of a series of things that happened one after another, the mind and body have been forced to be in a state of high tension. At this moment, they suddenly relaxed, and all the pain and exhaustion came back to Ling Xiao doubled.
"Ota!"
All of a sudden, Ling Xiao's spirit was weakened. Seeing Basil taking out the water bag, Ling Xiao shook his head with difficulty, looking extremely difficult even to drink.Without waiting for Basil to speak, Prophet Jiji raised her head and turned around, shouting towards the outside of the entrance.
"Ah! Yes, yes..." On both sides of the mountain road, among the crowd who were staring blankly at the departure of the giant dragon, Ota, a centaur life mage with white hair and wearing a white robe exclusively for healers, was finally captured by Ji. Ji's shout woke him up, and he managed to squeeze past several tall orc warriors, and he came to the entrance of the cave.
"Look at Ling Xiao." Prophet Jiji quickly stepped aside, since there are professional therapists present, his half-time healers don't have to come out to make a fool of themselves.
Ling Xiao's face was pale, and his forehead was covered with a thin layer of cold sweat. Although he was sitting on the rock at the entrance of the cave, if there was no Basil stretching out his hand to support him, it seemed that he couldn't even sit still.
"The bone is broken, and the rest of the wounds are fine." The ordinary-looking young therapist Ota, usually looks like he's wandering away, but his movements and expressions right now are extremely focused.Regarding Ling Xiao's urgently treated shoulder, he nodded approvingly, and then neatly untied the strips of cloth and the skirt of his jacket, revealing the abnormally swollen left shoulder inside——
In silence, the muscles of Basil's arm against Ling Xiao's back tensed instantly.Except for the horribly red, swollen and purple shoulders, Ling Xiao's bare|exposed skin was covered with bloodstains one after another.All these wounds hurt Basil's eyes, only the places that could be seen were like this, how much pain did Ling Xiao suffer in the places that could not be seen under the clothes?
"Lord Ling Xiao, please pardon me to be blunt - about the medicine you prepared, is it not able to exert the best curative effect on you?" Ota asked in a low voice as much as possible at this time.
As a life mage dedicated to researching various healing magics and medicines, he quickly noticed something unusual—the medicines applied to Ling Xiao's shoulders and various wounds were from the day of the large-scale hunting of beasts in the team. Those herbal products that caused a sensation here and possessed miraculous effects.But when it is used on the adult himself at this time, it seems that it has not exerted the effect of the day at all, and only has a part of the effect of stopping bleeding and calming down.
"En." Although his voice was weak, Ling Xiao nodded.
Although Ota was very excited that day, after receiving the prophet Jiji's warning to keep it secret, he never entangled Ling Xiao about this matter again.With great enthusiasm for his profession, but able to keep his promise, in front of this upright therapist, Ling Xiao has no intention of hiding it.He explained the original origin and efficacy of those medicines, and the miraculous effect of the mutation after coming to Terra's rift, one by one.
During this period, the healing buff spell released by Ota's hands also gradually recovered Ling Xiao's weak mental and physical strength.
"That's almost it." Withdrawing his palm, the pleasant and comfortable green light faded between Ota's fingers, and the white-haired therapist looked serious, "Lord Ling Xiao, your shoulders have been continuously injured! Although the magic of the Healing Spring can help you restore your broken bones, the inner foundation has become fragile. Remember, you must not let your shoulder be injured again, because there will be no next time."
Standing up straight and exhaling, Ota turned his head and added: "Magic is not omnipotent, my lord. Oh, and thank you for trusting me and telling me so much about those herbs."
On Ota's ordinary young face, the smile that bloomed was extremely vivid. Seeing this, Ling Xiao couldn't help laughing too, and said, "I should be the one to thank! Now I feel much better, really Thank you, Ota."
Ling Xiao, who has been shocked by the magical magic on this continent, is the first time he has heard someone express his views on magic so calmly and objectively.A simple comment, this young man with white hair, gray-blue eyes, and ordinary face, let Ling Xiao see the infinite future behind him.
Many years later, when this little-known little magician who served as a healer in Ling Xiaobasil's team back then became a well-known great wizard of life in the entire Terra continent, Ling Xiao would occasionally recall this God, the white-haired young man with a vivid smile said to him——
Magic is not omnipotent, my lord.
