the second chapter
This place was so cold! Tenny sized up his brothers as he muttered.
Palin sipped his tea slowly and looked at the flames in the fireplace, pretending not to listen to Tanny, because he knew she was talking to him.
Oh my god, please sit down? Shidon threw a piece of bread at his brother. You're almost walking through the floor, and God knows what's underneath us.
Tenny frowned and shook his head, continuing to pace. Leox's beard, brothers! Shidon's mouth was stuffed with cheese, making it almost impossible to understand what he was saying. The treatment here is comparable to the best inn in Palansus City. You look like you're locked in a Drakonid dungeon! The food was delicious, and the ale was delicious. He took a big gulp of cheese and washed it down his stomach. If it weren't for the fact that you guys didn't know how to enjoy yourself, we might have been able to have a good chat!
" We're not really in the best inn in Palansus City," Tenny said sarcastically. He stopped and caught the second piece of bread. He tore the bread into pieces and threw them on the ground. We're in Villais 'Great Wizard Tower. We were teleported here. The door is locked, and we can't get out. Besides, we don't know what these mages did to Dad, but all you can think about is cheese and wine!
" I'm not just thinking about these things." Shidon nodded and looked worriedly at his brother who was still staring at the fire. " Yes," Tenny said gloomily, his eyes following Shidon. I was also thinking of him! He's the one who brought us here! Tenny kicked the table leg in a low mood and continued to pace. Shidon saw his brother flinching because of his brother's words and couldn't help but sigh. He continued to practice the game of hitting Tanny with bread.
Any bystander would think that the two older youths were twins (there was currently one bystander who thought so), but in fact, the two guys were one year apart. Tenny and Stone were twenty-four and twenty-three years old respectively. They were named after Caramon's best friend, the half-elf Tannis, and the brave knight Stone Brightblade. Their movements, appearance, and even thoughts were exactly the same. It was true that they often pretended to be twins and took great pleasure in fooling others.
Both young men were tall and strong, inheriting Caramon's strong physique and his friendly, honest face. However, this pair of young men had inherited the fiery red curly hair and lively green eyes of the young girl they met from their mother, who was also peerless in her youth. Tika Vilan was a rare beautiful warrior in Klein's world. Ever since she bravely beat up the Drakonids with a pot, her figure had become a little rounder. However, when Tika served the dishes in a white low-cut loose work shirt, it was hard not to attract people's attention. Few men would not shake their heads and leave the hotel, lamenting that Caramon was a lucky man.
However, young Shidon's green eyes did not show its quick-witted side. On the contrary, they flashed a cunning light and blinked at Palin, who was absent-minded. Shidon stood up silently, hid behind the pacing Tenny, and quietly drew his sword. Just as Tenny turned around, Shidon tripped his brother with his sword, causing him to fall with a loud noise that sounded like a shaking tower.
You damn Valley Dwarf! Tenny shouted. He struggled to get up! He rushed towards Shidon, who was desperately trying to escape. Tenny grabbed Shidon's collar, who was smiling foolishly, and sent him flying into the air. He landed face down on the table, and the delicacies on the table splashed everywhere. Tenny rode on his younger brother, and the two of them began their best fight again. This big move destroyed many bars on the Anselon Continent. A weak voice stopped the riot.
Stop. Palin stood up from his seat by the fire. Both of you, stop! Don't forget where you are! I remember where I was, Tenny said, looking sullenly at his youngest brother. Palin was as tall as his two brothers, and his body proportions were very well-proportioned. However, because he spent most of his time studying books, he did not have muscles like his brother. He had inherited his mother's red hair, but it was not the fiery red, but the ochre red. He had long hair, and the red hair in the middle was like a soft wave pressing on his shoulder. But what haunted his parents 'dreams were his face and his hands. Palin's deep outline was embedded with a pair of sharp and intelligent eyes, as if he could always see through everyone. Even though they didn't look alike, Palin did have the look of an uncle. However, Palin's hands were almost exactly a copy of his uncle's. Whenever his slender, long fingers fiddled with the magic herbs with great skill, his father was always torn by pride and sad memories.
Now, her slender hands were clenched into fists as she watched her brothers roll around in spilled ale, half-eaten cheese, broken tables, and broken pottery.
At least have some self-respect! Palin shouted. I remember where I am, Tenny repeated angrily. He stood up and walked over to his brother, looking at him with an accusatory gaze. I also remember who brought us here! And we rode through that damn forest that almost killed us-
" Nothing in the Willis Forest will hurt you," Palin explained, looking at the mess on the ground in disgust. If you were willing to listen, I could have told you. This forest was controlled by the mages in the tower. This could stop uninvited visitors. We are invited guests. The trees didn't stop us. The whispers you hear are nothing but your own fear. This spell…
Listen, Palin, Tenny interrupted with the voice that Shidon always described as big brother. Why don't you just give up on magic? You've made Father and Mother sad, and Father is especially sad. You saw the expression on his face when we came here! God knew how sad it was to have him return to this place.
Palin turned his head with a red face and bit his lower lip. Oh, let the kid go, Tenny! Shi Dong saw the pain on his brother's face and couldn't help but speak up. He wiped the ale off his pants and tried to put the table back together in shame. However, he was not a puzzle master, and the table was broken like a puzzle, so the chances of success were very low.
'You could have been a good swordsman, little brother.' Tenny ignored Shidon and patted Palin's shoulder, trying to persuade him. Come on, bro, tell the guy outside that you've changed your mind with Tenny waving his hand aimlessly. We can leave this cursed place right now and go home-
" We don't know why they invited us here," Palin retorted, breaking free of his brother's hand. It might have nothing to do with me! Why is it related to me? he said bitterly. I'm just a student. I still need a few more years to qualify for the trial…I have to thank my father and mother for this, he muttered in a low voice. Tenny didn't hear it, but the invisible bystanders did.
Yes! " Then I'm an ogre," Tenny replied angrily. Palin, look at me when I'm talking-leave me alone! Just as Mediator Shidon was about to intervene, the three young men suddenly realized that someone else had appeared in the room.
All the arguments were put aside, and the brothers immediately responded. Shidon bounced up from the ground like a lynx. He held the hilt of his sword and stood side by side with Tenny, protecting the unarmed Palin. Palin, like all the other mages, had no armor, shield, or sword. But he quickly grabbed the dagger hidden under his clothes and began to recite the few defensive spells he was currently allowed to learn.
Who are you? Tannis said hoarsely, staring at the man standing in the middle of the chamber. How did you get in? How did I get in? The man grinned. In the Great Wizard Tower, there were no walls that could stop a person from entering. As for who I am? I am Dunbar Masterme, from North Agos.
What do you want to do? Shidon asked in a low voice. What did he want? Ha, of course, I'm just checking on how everyone is doing, Dunbar replied. I'm the host in charge of entertaining you--
You? You are a mage? Tenny was shocked, and even Palin seemed to be in disbelief. In a world where mages were known for having brains but no muscles, this guy was obviously an exception. He was as tall as Tenny and had pecs that even Caramon would be jealous of. His dark muscles could be seen bulging on his naked upper body, making it difficult for people not to pay attention to him. His arms seemed to be able to lift the heavy Shidon like a child. He wasn't wearing a robe, only a pair of bright-colored loose trousers. The only clues to his identity as a mage were the many cloth bags around his waist and the white belt around his thick waist.
Dunbar laughed, his deep laughter making the plates shake. Yes, he said that he was a mage. With that, he chanted a spell that made the broken tables quickly put themselves back together. The ale disappeared from the floor, and the broken wine jar also repaired itself. It jumped back to its original position on the table, and white foam quickly overflowed. A large piece of roasted venison appeared on the table, followed by a fragrant loaf of bread and all kinds of snacks. Shidon couldn't help but drool, and even calmed Tenny's anger. However, the cautious Tenny was still skeptical.
Sit down, Dunbar said. Eat first. " Don't worry about your father," Tenny said just as he was about to speak. He was discussing important matters with the Chiefs of the other two factions. Sit! Sit down! He smiled, his white teeth and dark skin forming a strong contrast. Do you want me to force you to sit down…?
Hearing this, Tenny let go of his sword hilt and pulled a chair over to sit down. However, he didn't eat anything. He just looked at Dunbar carefully. However, Shidon ate heartily. Only Palin was still standing, his hands folded in the sleeves of his white robe. " Please sit, Palin," Dunbar said more gently, looking at the young man." Please sit." Soon, we will join your father's meeting, and you will know why you have been invited here. Now, I ask you to share this wine and meat with me. Thank you, my lord. Palin bowed respectfully. Call me Dunbar, Dunbar…The man waved his hand. You are my guests. There was no need to be so polite. Palin sat down and began to eat, but it was obvious that he was just being polite. Dunbar and Shidon made up for his lack of food. Soon, even Danny gave up his identity as a guardian because of the alluring fragrance.
" You... you mean the chief of the other faction, Dunbar?" Palin asked. And you are-
That's right, I'm the chief of the white-robed mages. Dunbar took a bite of bread and gulped down a mouthful of ale. After Pasarian retired, I took over. Leader? Shi Dong looked at the burly man in surprise. But what kind of mage are you? What the hell are you doing? " I bet it's not just pulling out the bat's wings," muttered Tenny with his mouth full of meat.
Palin looked shocked and stared at his brother discontentedly. However, Dunbar only smiled boldly again. You're f * cking right! he said. I am a sea mage. My father was a captain, and so was his father. But I don't want to sail a boat. My specialty was magic, but my heart was at sea, so I returned there in the end. Now I use my magic to break the waves. I can summon strong winds or calm storms. I can make the enemy sink into a windless sea so that I can escape quickly, or I can throw a fireball at the enemy when I attack. And, when necessary-Dunbar smiled-I could also operate the pump or reel in a heavy anchor. This made my body strong. He patted his broad chest. I know you two. He saw that Shidon and Tenny had just returned from the battle against the Tauren who harassed the northern coast. I also tried to stop these pirates. Tell me, you guys?
The three of them soon began to discuss enthusiastically. Even Tenny became enthusiastic when he heard this topic. He quickly began to describe how he used the ambush to stop the Tauren's plan to raze Klarman to the ground. Dunbar listened carefully, asking rather professional questions and making comments, seemingly enjoying himself.
But at the same time, the mage's sharp eyes were still focused on the warriors 'younger brother. His attention was actually all on Palin. Palin noticed that the three of them were so engrossed in their discussion that they had thankfully given up on pretending to eat. Instead, they sat in a daze, staring back at the fire, not noticing that Dunbar was looking at him.
Palin's face was very pale, and her slender hands twisted thoughtfully. He was lost in thought, so much so that he did not know that his lips were moving subconsciously. Although he did not say it out loud, someone in the room still heard what he said.
Why did they bring me here? Can they read my mind? Would they tell Daddy?
In the end, he has already suffered so much. How can I bear to hurt him again?
Dunbar nodded, as if he had gotten the answer to a certain question. He sighed in relief and turned his attention back to the war with the Tauren.
