Wizard of All Souls

night, is so quiet.

For the green spirits of the slums, there is hardly any entertainment at night.

It was dark.

After dinner, as usual, Shankara huddled with her younger siblings in the small thatched hut, hugged each other and prepared to go to bed.

Stomach growls.

The two bowls of wild vegetable soup that I ate in the evening have almost been digested.

"Sleep quickly, you won't be hungry when you fall asleep."

She could only comfort her brothers and sisters in this way.

Not long after, there were even and subtle breathing sounds from the thatched cottage, as well as occasional gurgling sounds.

In her sleep, Shankara smiled sweetly.

I don't know what kind of dream I am having.

The night was getting dark.

The night that should have been silent, boiled like boiling water.

Around, noisy and chaotic voices sounded.

The sound of running, screaming, and crying sounded like the end of the world was coming.

Shankara, who was tired all day, did not wake up so easily.

She was still immersed in a wonderful dream.

Facing the chaotic noise, she just frowned, and after that, she was immersed in a sweet dream again.

What woke her up was the cries of her siblings.

There are eleven siblings in total, the youngest is only one year old, the eldest is only five years old, and she is only seven years old.

Although green spirits develop faster than humans, they are still too young.

The young Shankara not only shouldered the rations of eleven green spirits, but also took care of her ignorant siblings.

The cries of the siblings made Shankara's body tense up.

Eyes opened immediately, and hurriedly said to the crying siblings: "What's wrong? Are you hungry? Urgent? Bitten by a mouse? Scared by the big spider?"

Shankara, who was about to appease her siblings, was stunned for a while.

"Why is it so noisy around here?"

Tonight, it was too lively.

She only saw this kind of lively scene in the central block five years ago when the grandson of the city lord got married.

and--

"It's dawn? It's hot."

Daylight came too fast.

It felt like just falling asleep.

Rubbing his eyes, he stretched his waist.

A new day is about to start again, and I have to endure accusations from the boss and scolding from the guests again.

"I can't lose the restaurant errand job I finally found."

Remove the wooden door, outside the door, it is not the usual morning scenery.

The stars are still shining in the sky.

No doubt it was still late at night.

A heat wave blows head-on.

Dust covered Shankara's face, and the soaring flames occupied her entire eye sockets.

His eyes widened suddenly.

After a moment of sluggishness, a terrified expression appeared on his face.

"Fire la la la—"

After screaming, wake up the siblings quickly.

But when she dragged out of the hut with eleven younger siblings, the flames had already spread not far in front of them.

There are flames all around, and there is nowhere to go.

Thick black smoke enveloped them.

"Cough, cough, cough—"

Under the stimulation of the smoke, they coughed violently, tears flowed out uncontrollably, and their eyes were stinging, and they couldn't open them at all.

"What to do? What to do? What to do……"

Shankara stomped her feet anxiously, and could only drag her younger siblings to follow the chaotic crowd.

Due to the burden of the child, she was suddenly left behind.

However, whether you run fast or slow, the outcome will not change.

run slowly

engulfed in flames.

The whole body was on fire, howling and rolling on the ground.

run away fast.

What awaited them was nothing but a wall of flames.

They could only cry in despair, and many green spirits rushed into the wall of fire, trying to pass through the wall of fire and seek a chance of life.

But what awaited them was a hotter flame.

"Come on, get out of here quickly..."

Seeing the flames approaching, Shankara cried and urged her siblings to get up and leave.

But where to go, she does not know.

"Wooah..."

The eleven siblings all fell to the ground, howling weakly, unwilling to get up no matter how hard they pulled.

Seeing that there are fewer and fewer green spirits around.

The security circle also turned out to be smaller.

Zizizi——

Flames quickly spread along a half-dead tree.

Branches break.

And Shankara is located right under the dead tree.

The flaming broken branches were falling from the top of her head.

She could only hug her siblings with both hands, close her eyes in despair and wait for death.

Boom!

A loud bang exploded above their heads.

Shankara felt her entire eardrum vibrate and reverberate, buzzing.

"What are you doing here?" A strange yet familiar voice sounded beside them.

With an impatient tone, as if blaming them.

"How? You, you are..."

Looking up at the figure that cut off the branch and saved her and her siblings, Shankara was stunned.

The figure that I have been looking for all this time and can only see in my dreams.

It actually appeared?

And saved them?

Could it be a dream?

"My lord, don't worry about us, run away." Shankara rubbed her calloused hands, her thin and dark face looked so resolute.

"What nonsense? Want to live with me!"

"But, my brothers and sisters..." Shankara said with difficulty, looking at her brothers and sisters who were crying together and unable to move at all.

"Hey, do you little guys want to die?"

Under Shankara's surprised gaze, the brothers and sisters who were crying and unable to walk a second ago, suddenly stopped crying and were full of vitality.

"This is medicinal wine, don't drink too much."

Shankara took the wine gourd, unscrewed the cork, and an unpleasant smell of medicine poured out from the mouth of the bottle.

Just took a sip, and the pungent smell of medicine flooded from the stomach to the whole body.

Nose, eyes, ears, all burning pain.

While coughing violently, tears and snot flowed out desperately.

Strangely, after a few seconds, although I still felt uncomfortable, my eyes saw a lot more clearly and my nose could breathe normally.

It seems that it is no longer affected by the thick black smoke.

After quickly feeding the younger siblings a sip of medicinal wine, Shankara led the younger siblings to follow behind Will and rushed towards the outskirts of Mallorca City.

There were flames all around, and there was no way to see.

But under Will's leadership, they can always find the right path.

Along the way, they saved many green spirits.

The green elves who were running around, after seeing Will, all of them trusted Will as if they had found a backbone.

When the green spirit met Will, he basically bowed down.

In Shankara's view, this is because Will has the aura of a king, has the power to gather people's hearts, and is invincible to the benevolent.

In fact, how did she know that this is just a small application skill of mental power.

Those who have never practiced spiritual power exercises cannot resist the influence of spiritual power at all.

Will is just playing tricks, and when every green elf commoner sees him, he will naturally have a strong sense of intimacy.

while walking.

The ranks are getting bigger and bigger.

It's getting hotter and hotter.

All the green spirits were sweating profusely, dragging their bodies forward with difficulty.

Although I was very tired, my feet were numb, my skin was dry, and I couldn't even sweat, but in order to survive, I had to walk.

Shankara was barely holding on.

The problem is that the younger brothers and sisters can't walk anymore.

When she was anxious and didn't know what to do, Will pulled a bullock cart from there.

After putting her siblings into the bullock cart, she breathed a sigh of relief.
