Chapter 346 Gifts

Late at night, Hearthstone Tavern.

Joshua sat in the study and looked at the ceiling. On the ceiling, a raw spar emitted warm light to dispel the darkness in the room. An unknown insect was attracted by the light and kept circling the raw crystal. Flapping its wings.

Ciri had already returned to her room early today. After all, after Ciri finished saying that sentence in the carriage, she covered her face with her hands and fell into a shy state.

Joshua was also affected by this atmosphere. He didn't expect this girl to tell her "big event in life" so seriously, and he didn't think of how to answer Shili for a while.

"It seems to be the same as entrusting for life, right? Or a marriage proposal?"

When Joshua was thinking about how to face Ciri tomorrow, a crow landed on the window of Joshua's study.

"What's the result of the investigation?" Qiao Xiu put away the tangled expression on his face, turned around and looked at the crow.

"Among Nolan's seven sages, the one in purple is one of the sages with the least information. The only information that can be collected so far is that she once competed with the man in yellow for a disciple." A dark voice sounded from the crow's mouth. The voice of a thousand-faced elf.

"Okay, sorry to trouble you."

Joshua didn't expect the black pigeons to bring him any useful information. The people in purple were far older than the black pigeons.

The crow hopped around on the window sill of the study for a few times, then flapped its wings and flew into the night to disappear.

The departure of the dark elf did not mean the end of Qiao Xiu's investigation. A text message popped up directly in front of Qiao Xiu's eyes. The sender of this message was Gray Owl.

‘Mellors in purple? I do know something about her past, but it's not a memory one wants to recall. '

Qiao Xiu glanced at the first paragraph of the text message sent by the man in gray, and knew that there was nothing wrong with asking the man in gray about his choice.

The content of this text message is very long. This sage, who is called the "Nolan Living Fossil", told Josh Nolan about some things that happened in the past.

The one in purple is the only female sage among the seven sages of Nolan. Of course, her appearance and talent have also captured the hearts of other sages.

The man in gray said frankly, 'Back then, the fight between Crosir and Morash, that is, the man in yellow and the man in black was the fiercest. ’ In the end, the one in black won.

Back then, Nolan was only the size of a small town, yet held the grandest wedding.

However, the life after marriage is not happy. There is a rumor among the spellcasters called the "curse of blood", that is, the possibility of the survival of the children born by the combination of the more talented spellcasters. smaller.

The content of the gray-clothed man's text message was suddenly interrupted here, and Qiao Xiu had to send another text message to ask the gray-clothed man's follow-up.

'The child they bore died? ’ Josh asked.

'Human larvae can't withstand such a huge magic power, and even Melores almost lost his life...'

'...'

From the text message sent by the man in gray, Joshua could guess that the man in gray was not in a relaxed mood at this time.

'She is a good mother, this is the only impression I have of her, so your assistant has become her disciple, in my opinion, it is a happy thing, Mellors, she has been lonely for too long . Also... if you're still worried, I've asked Ned to bring you a small present. '

Joshua quietly finished reading the man in gray's narration, and the owl 'Ned' kept by the man in gray also flew in from the window on time.

The owl held a box half the size of a palm in its claws, and it landed directly on the table in front of Joshua.

Joshua grabbed the dried salted fish from his dinner today and fed it to the owl. After eating, it flew out of the window and left satisfied.

"seal?"

Joshua picked up the wooden box, with unknown magical inscriptions shining on the surface, which seemed to be a seal that could not be broken by violence.

Gray magic power overflowed from Qiao Xiu's palm, easily erasing the magic inscription engraved on it.

Qiao Xiu opened the box, and the first thing he saw was a small note with the handwriting of the man in gray.

It says 'The Ring of Clarity, after wearing it, it is immune to any level of spiritual magic, one of the relics found in the underground ruins. '

Joshua picked up this very simple-looking silver ring. Just the "relic of the underground ruins" can explain how valuable this ring is.

The man in gray would give it to Qiao Xiu generously, partly because he had helped him a lot, and also because he really hoped that the man in purple could get a satisfactory disciple in his lifetime.

"Is it the only way to do this?"

Joshua put the ring into the box and took a deep breath, then picked up the ring and walked out of the study.

…………

The door of Shirley's room was not locked. Even if it was locked, Joshua, as the owner of the Hearthstone Tavern, would of course be able to find the key.

Joshua walked into Ciri's room smoothly. The room looked a bit messy, with canvases piled up in the corner of the room, as well as various paints and palettes.

There is a pleasant smell in the air, a taste that whets the appetite.

Joshua walked into the room carefully, and glanced at the bed. Shirley was in a deep sleep with her eyes closed.

This Miss Spellcaster has become more and more lazy since she came to Nolan. In the past, she would have been able to detect it as soon as Joshua opened the door.

Joshua walked slowly to Xili's bedside, and when he gently placed the wooden box on Xili's bedside... Qiao Xiu opened Xili's eyes.

Ciri and Joshua looked at each other, and Joshua froze there.

After just three seconds of staring at each other, Ciri finally spoke.

"Should I just pretend to be asleep?" Ciri asked.

"No, I'm very clear that my stealth skills are not full." Qiao Xiu adjusted his breathing, and generously placed the wooden box on the table next to the bed, "Congratulations on becoming the Seven Sages of Nolan gift from the heir."

When Qiao Xiu was pondering whether to leave, Qiao Xiu's hand was grabbed by Ciri.

Ciri had already sat up on the bed, her long silver-gray hair seemed a bit messy, and the sheets had slipped off her body, and the light pajamas couldn't hide her beautiful figure at all, um...except for her bosom, which was nothing Everything else is fine.

"I just asked on the spellcaster forum. I heard that after becoming a disciple of some sages, they rarely have free time..." Shirley's voice sounded unhappy, she lowered her head so that Joshua could not Look into her eyes clearly.

Joshua knew what Shirley was worried about, and that was that after becoming an apprentice of the Purple Cloaked Man, he would not have much time to stay in the Hearthstone Tavern.

"I'll negotiate with the man in purple." Joshua walked to Ciri's bed and stepped down, stretched out his hand to stroke the long hair on her forehead, looked into Ciri's silver-gray eyes and said, "Don't worry, get out of class on time every night." I will negotiate with her as a condition, and I have a job to entrust to the person in purple. If she agrees, she will follow me around the world like you every day. gone."

"A commission? About the new movie?" Shirley immediately thought of the new movie that Joshua was going to shoot.

"You guessed it right. Unfortunately, there is no reward. Go to sleep." Joshua rubbed the ends of Shirley's hair and said.
