"Hoo ~ ~"

Arrow lights up the oil lamp and lights up the bar on the first floor. Napa continued to lie on the bar and didn\'t even look at the little girl who was sitting in a chair with a stiff face.

"President, the door is closed."

Bradra pulled up the bolt and took Buffy to stand behind ello.

Arrow sat on the dining chair with a smile on his face and looked at the girl carefully from top to bottom.

She looked a little timid.

The small body hid in the wide robe, and there was a sense of mismatch, which further set off the child\'s short stature.

Two skinny legs emerged from under the robe, dirty feet superimposed on each other like shyness, and toes bent.

A pair of small hands grasp the broken branch, but they don\'t know how to put their hands in general, sometimes shrink up and sometimes put behind them.

After a long silence, Brad brought a cup of hot water. After taking a drink, ello finally stood up, and the corners of his mouth tilted slightly: "necromancer? I\'m young and have strong magic. "

Napa yawned and went on sleeping on her stomach.

Cocoa trembled, and the twig in his hand turned around, and the thinner side trembled at ello.

The combination of Buffy and Brad continued to look like a question mark. It\'s ok if Buffy doesn\'t understand. Brad giggled happily and looked like he wanted to ask but didn\'t dare to ask.

"I... I\'m not... Necromancer... Sir... You\'re mistaken..."

The voice of weakness and fear came from the little girl\'s mouth, and her eyes turned involuntarily and dared not look in the direction of arrow.

Arrow got up, poured himself a cup of hot water and went over to put the fortress in her arms. But the little girl looked so stiff that arrow could only gently drag her to the table and sit down and put the hot water in front of her.

"No one has taught you that the key point when you lie is to sincerely believe that the lie you tell is not a lie?"

Arrow took a sip of the hot water in his hand, turned his head and told Brad to bring some hot milk. Soon, the hot milk was in front of cocoa. The little girl stared at the liquid in the cup and swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily.

"If I admit to being a necromancer, I won\'t do anything to you. They are all members of the magic department. I don\'t have so many prejudices."

Perhaps it was the warm milk in front of the little girl who relaxed her guard. Or maybe arrow\'s voice is full of a gentle feeling.

Cocoa raised her head and glanced timidly at the president\'s brother in front of her. Finally, with great courage, she loosened her right hand, picked up the cup and took a drink.

With one mouthful, the little girl licked her lips covered with milky liquid, picked up the cup in one breath and drank all the milk in the cup.

"Hee hee. Brad, go get some more food（ Buffy, have another glass of milk and sprinkle some flowers. "

Before long, cocoa had a pile of bread and baked eggs left over from dinner. Buffy poured her a glass of milk and dotted it with aroma.

Facing the big meal in front of her, cocoa finally couldn\'t hold back. Her other hand finally put down the dead tree branch and grabbed bread and milk with both hands.

After eating two mouthfuls carefully and seeing that arrow had no objection at all, he completely let go and ate in a big mouthful.

Arrow did not speak, but continued to smile and watch the little girl eat.

Brad next to him continued to hold his tongue and ask no questions. But Buffy, the flower goblin, couldn\'t help but ask: "(goblin language) what\'s the origin of this child?"

Arrow glanced at Buffy and then at the question mark on Brad\'s face, but with a silent expression, he smiled——

"Well, I have to tell you sooner or later. The child is a magician. The faction used belongs to the necromancer faction in terms of magic taxonomy. "

Hearing that ello spoke to the flower demon in another language, cocoa\'s head was raised from the food pile, and his eyes showed a curious color. But in the end, she couldn\'t resist the smell of food and continued to bury her head in the pile of bread.

"In this world, some people have a certain magic affinity since they were born. Different races have different magic affinity. Just like Buffy, each member of your flower demon clan will have magic affinity. For humans, I\'m afraid only one percent, one thousandth, or even one ten thousandth of people will have magic affinity. "

"If these people with magic affinity undergo some systematic magic training, they can become magicians. Although magicians have many detailed classifications in this world, in the most fundamental case, magic belongs to a natural force. Since it is a natural force, there are only two basic categories of magic. "

"One, the most widely classified, is collectively referred to as life magic. Whether it is the fire system, the lightning system, the earth system, the blessing system, etc., it can be regarded as one of the life magic. "

"The other is Death Magic corresponding to life magic. Curse, namely death, pain, so that driving the dead belongs to death magic. "

After explaining it in two languages, arrow looked at Brad and buffy\'s expressions and was still a little confused.

He thought about it and decided to correct their ideas before they misunderstood the necromancer, and then said——

"Because we are living humans, most magic affinity is biased towards life magic. Only a few people have affinity for the power of death magic. It is precisely because of the human fear of death, and sometimes for the characteristics that the necromancer can drive away the dead, and have prejudice and fear against the necromancer, and even think that the necromancer is naturally a link of evil and the opposite of life magic. "

"But basically, life magic and Death Magic belong to natural magic. Death is an inescapable part of life and a part of the process of life. Life is also a part of death, which can give more meaning to death. Neither life without death nor death without life can exist independently. The two are complementary. "

"Therefore, I hope you two don\'t have any prejudice against the necromancer, and you don\'t need to label someone because of the words\' necromancer \'or\' Death Magic \'. So, can you understand? "

Buffy sat on Brad\'s shoulder, shook her feet and said with a smile: "(goblin language) so you humans have so much research on magic? I have no opinion. After all, I don\'t know how many plants I\'ve seen born and died. "

Brad touched the back of his head and smiled at Cocoa over there: "although I don\'t know such a complicated thing, I think the president is right. Since people are alive, they must die. Is death really a part of life? So, I won\'t discriminate against you. Don\'t worry, ha ha. "

The bread, eggs and milk in front of cocoa had been eaten up, and the little girl\'s lips were covered with bread crumbs.

However, her ears were pricked, and she was full of food and drink. She restrained herself from the appearance of a hungry ghost just now and became cautious again.

But the way she looked at ello was no longer so afraid.

"... i... I\'m not that great... My magic... Is still very weak..."

It\'s going well. At least the child admitted that he was indeed an affinity of the magic of death.

Now I think I\'m really lucky to enter laotengshu college! It\'s lucky that the books of the Department of magic can be read casually! But now it\'s not self explosion. These theories are memorized from books.

"Too weak?"

Ello repressed his inner excitement, and the expression on his face was still a faint smile that people couldn\'t see through——

"Our guild soldiers may not have experienced systematic training, but your dead soldiers have light steps and excellent swordsmanship. That\'s no reason why the magic is too weak. "

"That\'s not what I called!"

Cocoa involuntarily shouted out, but perhaps she realized that her voice was too loud. She became timid again, timidly grabbed the dead tree branch, held it in her hand and whispered——

"I... I summoned it a long time ago... But later I found... I can\'t remove... Magic... Brother President... You saw... That thing... It just... Wanted to kill me..."

This is indeed true.

Arrow closed his eyes and thought, nodded and said, "well... It\'s true. As far as I know, necromancers are rare among magicians. You should study in a magic school at your age. But coco, how did you show up near Pelican town? "

"I... I..."

Cocoa lowered her head again and looked away because she was not good at lying. The eyes kept turning, and it was obvious that they were trying to think of a lie that they could round the past.

"I... I\'m here to... Travel..."

Unfortunately, the skill of lying practice is still too low.

However, arrow began to worry about his thoughts. Does this idea that the other party\'s lies are too bad mean that he has lied?

... forget it.

"Travel? Then the magic went out of control? "

Cocoa shrunk her neck and retracted her whole body into the robe again, like a small ball: "on the way to travel... I... Met a demon... Used magic... Summoned Xiaobai... Ah, Xiaobai is the skeleton! I... i... I\'m too lonely during the trip... I just... Chat with Xiaobai... "

Brad nodded approvingly, "well, I understand. This is the companion, right? I often chat with Bafei. Bafei treats me like Xiaobai treats you. "

Buffy couldn\'t understand Brad\'s words, but she might think Brad was praising herself and immediately looked proud.

"Then... Xiaobai and I... Repelled the demon. But since then... Xiaobai... Has been a little out of control... "

Cocoa held the cup and peeped carefully at ello. The color on the little girl\'s face was a little flustered. It was estimated that she couldn\'t figure out ello\'s mind and was uneasy.

"What a pity."

Brad nodded with pity on his face. He poured the little girl a glass of milk again and turned to talk to buffy. Unfortunately, Buffy still has a question mark on her face after all.

But for arrow

"It does look pathetic. But don\'t worry, coco. In my guild, no one can hurt you, including your dead soldiers. "

Getting up from his seat, arrow looked at the time, turned his head and continued to smile——

"You can rest here now. As I just said, the mermaid song will never discriminate against anyone. No matter how many lies you tell or how many things you hide. Since I decide to believe you, I will believe you to the end. "

He reached out and touched the little girl\'s head.

Cocoa obviously shrunk because of fear when she saw arrow\'s hand stretched out, but she didn\'t show much disgust with arrow\'s touch after all.

"First of all, we have to find a way to solve the problem of your dead soldiers. If there\'s no place to go tonight, let\'s have a rest at my side."

Brad nodded quickly and immediately raised his hand: "OK! Then I\'ll help -- "

"It\'s just that your room needs to be cleaned up by yourself, and no one else is allowed to help. Here, everyone needs to take care of their own things. Is that all right? "

Looking at ello\'s gentle smiling face, cocoa felt a cold for no reason. The whole person trembled for it, shrunk his neck and carefully nodded his head.

As for Brad and Buffy, the two stayed nearby until arrow asked them to go to bed.

With cocoa upstairs, arrow opened the door next to his room and welcomed him with a standard gentleman\'s ceremony.

Cocoa was obviously surprised at the cobwebs and dust in the room, but ELO didn\'t give her time to be coquettish. She closed the door behind her hand and went back to her room.

After closing the door, arrow finally breathed a sigh of relief, took off his hat and spilled his blond hair.

The hair is too long. It\'s really hard to stay in the hat for so long... It seems that it\'s time to cut this hair.

It\'s a pity that if you can sell this hair at a good price in the capital, no one will buy hair in this border town of the Empire.

Arrow sat in front of the dressing table, pinching his hair and frowning. Finally, he could only reluctantly shake off his hair, take off his coat and put on a comfortable pajama.

But more problematic than his own hair is cocoa in the next room.

The little girl is not good at lying, at least not as good as herself. But even if she is not very good at it, she still hides something from herself.

First of all, she said she couldn\'t control the dead soldiers. Is this true or false?

Undead soldiers are dead, the product of magic, and do not need to eat.

However, during the day, thieves did steal the cheese pie of the round cheese mayor. This pie can\'t be eaten by soldiers, it can only be eaten by living creatures. And the little girl has said that the dead soldier is her magic.

So, the so-called dead soldiers out of control is nonsense. The girl is lying.

But

Arrow combed his head and continued to sit at the head of the bed frowning.

Just now I deliberately took some food for her, but the little girl ate it all. Eat clean.

The cheese pie sold at the mayor\'s house is not small. It can be eaten for two days alone.

The little girl had just eaten four large pieces of bread, two eggs and five cups of hot milk. It was obvious that she had not eaten for several days.

So she didn\'t lie? The cheese pie stolen by the dead soldiers was not given to her, so she was really hungry?

But then there is obviously a problem.

As a necromancer, she can\'t lift her call, even if she\'s not good at magic.

What does a dead soldier who doesn\'t need to eat steal food for?

As a necromancer, cocoa even said that she didn\'t know the situation here. It\'s amazing.

What\'s more amazing is why a necromancer who is not good at learning appears in Pelican town?

HMM... think of the gold mines in the Changmian mountains. What\'s the connection?

Taking care of her hair, arrow put down her comb and sighed.

Turn off the lights, go to bed and cover the quilt.

Now I just hope these things don\'t deviate too much from my control and let myself lose everything in three years.
