Chapter 1016 Flying (Part 2)

The explorer was still dressed like a libertine, with feathers all over his body, and an eyepatch embroidered with rose petals on his right eye. The makeup alone could not connect him with Thunder himself, but for some reason, Roland always felt that The image of the other party is slightly different from that of the banquet.

"When pretending to be a person, you need to devote yourself wholeheartedly to even thinking that you are that person, in order to deceive other people's ears and eyes. This is the first sentence the other person taught me when I was learning to disguise." Lei Lei took a puff on his pipe and spoke weakly. The red light was like a looming firefly in the dark corridor, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't concentrate on playing Xander Bird...she will see it."

So that's where the strange feeling came from, Roland thought. Because there is a certain danger in adulthood, he can no longer pretend to be an irrelevant outsider and be indifferent to his daughter.

If there was concern, it would not be Sander Bird.

"Do you want to keep hiding it like this?" Roland raised an eyebrow and said, "You should have heard what Lightning said just now. She is destined to embark on the path of an explorer."

This question kept Lei Lei silent for a long time.

When Roland thought that the other party would not answer, he spoke, "Your Majesty, do you believe in fate?"

For a moment, Roland had some doubts about the identity of the Thunder explorer.

Isn’t this a classic starting move when preaching?

Of course, similar questions are also common in love letters from high school students.

However, the other party was obviously not looking for answers, "Someone once said to me that outstanding people often die doing what they are best at, and in order to make up for it, God will always give such people unparalleled talents - this is fate, A path seems to be destined, one is seduced because of extraordinary talent, and eventually falls because of it. On the contrary, those ordinary people with mediocre abilities usually live longer."

"Who said this?" Roland couldn't help but ask.

"Xander is also the one who introduced me to the path of explorer." Thunder took a puff of cigarette.

"Wait, there really is such an explorer in the fjord? Aren't you afraid that Lightning will hear his name?"

"He has been dead for many years. He was unknown in life and after death... According to the standards of the fjord, he cannot even be regarded as a real explorer." Surrounded by smoke, Thunder's figure almost blended with the shadow on the wall. "Until the time of his death, he had not been able to find a brand new island or a route that had not yet been marked on the nautical chart. Sander did not care about his fame. He said that exploration itself is a kind of fun, and there is nothing wrong with lack of talent. Okay, at least you don’t have to worry about whether it will be short-lived.”

Roland seemed to realize something, "Then how did he die?"

"Died to save me." Lei Lei said slowly, "The ship was attacked by sea ghosts. Sander was clawed when he dragged me back to the cabin. The wound was not big, but the herbs were ineffective. The flesh and blood rotted quickly, and I died after three days. No longer breathing. At that time, he told me that he died doing what he was good at - he had no other advantages in his life, the only thing he was good at was thinking he was kind."

"..." Roland suddenly found that he didn't know what to say.

"After Lightning was born, she showed outstanding talent in exploration. Whether it was identifying routes or drawing sea charts, her learning speed was much faster than the average person." When Lei Lei said these words, his expression looked extremely complicated. , "When I learned that she had awakened as a witch, my worry reached its peak. You should know what this ability means to an explorer."

Indeed, if courage, curiosity and thirst for knowledge are still hidden human natures that anyone can inspire, then possessing magic can only be said to be a gift from the gods.

"That's why I made this decision." Lei Lei raised his head, the light in his eyes seemed to intersect with the red light in the pipe, "If fate is unavoidable, I may be able to intercept it in another way - if I can rush Before Lightning officially embarks on the road of explorer, unveiling the veil of those unknown places will greatly reduce her chance of encountering danger. Putting aside the territory occupied by the devil, no one has yet set foot in the place, only the sea line is left. The cliff continent seen from the ruins of Donghe Shadow Sea, once you defeat the devil, I should be able to draw a map of these two places, but before that, it is better for me to act alone."

If there is no place to explore, there will naturally be no risk. Roland couldn't help but be moved by this answer.

Although the world may be far bigger than he imagined, being able to have such an idea in that era cannot be summed up by the word courage alone.

Gravity firmly fixes everyone to the earth, but it cannot restrict the thoughts of some crazy people.

The Thunder are clearly the best among them.

——Flying is not just for witches.

"I understand what you mean," Roland raised the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, I guarantee that after the Battle of Divine Will is over, you will get an unscathed Lightning."

"I'll leave everything to you, Your Majesty." Lei Lei stroked his chest.

At this moment, a burst of exclamation suddenly came from the room.

Roland nodded to the other party and turned back to the bedroom.

One side of the wall had been pushed open, but he did not hear the sound inspired by the divine sigil.

"Your Majesty," Wendy said excitedly, "Lightning...her magic power has been condensed!"

Another witch who was promoted to adulthood soon, he saw obvious excitement in the eyes of Agatha and Wendy, which meant that their research was indeed feasible.

"Really?" Roland walked to the bed and looked at the girl who looked eager to try, "Are you not experiencing any discomfort?"

"Not at all," Lightning patted his chest. "I feel that my whole body is full of power! It's a pity that I couldn't release my divine will. Lighting up the fourth magic stone is the limit."

"That's good," Roland exhaled, "Then you have a good rest today, and tomorrow -"

"Your Majesty, I want to try it now, can you!" Lightning jumped out of bed, "I seem to hear it calling me, which makes me want to fly right away!"

Does it refer to magic? Roland couldn't help but laugh. He was indeed the most energetic person in the Witches' Union. For this reason, what else could he refuse to agree to? "Take Maisie with you, don't fly too far."

"yes!"

"Goo!"

The wall on one side was still ajar, and Maisie turned into a dove and landed on Lightning's head - then she held the dove down with both hands and swooped out of the room, disappearing into the cold windy night sky.

"I wonder how her condensed abilities will perform..." Wendy murmured, looking at the night, "I'll be busy again tomorrow."

"Please also let me use the colorful magic stone to observe during the test." Felice added.

"Anyway, that's it for today. Everything will wait until tomorrow——"

Just as Roland was mid-sentence, there was a sudden thunderous explosion in the sky!

The voice is so strong, it seems like substance! The snow on the eaves was shaken up into white mist, ice cubes fell like raindrops, and the glass windows of the castle cracked as if being brushed by an invisible giant hand.

As the witches looked at each other in stunned silence, the echoes caused by the thunder echoed back and forth in the mountains of despair, and they continued continuously and never disappeared for a long time.
