The announcement would quickly recover,""So, did you get flogged?" Pascha asked with a sudden realization."Yes." That young man nodded lightly, "But because I also committed fraud, I had my hand cut off as a punishment.""Fraud?" Biers asked, finding it difficult to understand.The young man replied cheerfully:"Simply put, I didn't personally destroy the announcement.
Instead, I used a dummy;the flogging was also on that dummy."As he spoke, he raised his right arm.His wrist was neatly severed like Phil's, and the skin around it was pale with hints of red, as if still bleeding.Suddenly, the cut started to wriggle and crawl out numerous twisted transparent insects.
They entangled themselves layer by layer, forming a new hand.Seeing these small creatures that couldn't be distinguished in detail, Río and company didn't feel any horror;their minds became chaotic with thoughts racing, making it hard for them to control their emotions.Once the hand "covered" itself again, these supernaturals recovered and took several steps back in surprise, suspicion, and fear.This scene had already exceeded their understanding!"Forget about introducing myself earlier.
I am a wandering magician," Klein, who had committed fraud and destruction of public property, said.He glanced at the four supernaturals and smiled:"My best magic is fulfilling others' wishes.
Do you have any wishes to fulfill?"Hearing this question, Río's spirits lifted as he asked hopefully:"Can we leave Beldan?""Of course," Klein gave a promise, "but not now."Then, he turned to Phil with only one hand."The man has finished his wish.
What about yours?" Seeing that Phil's wish was fulfilled, Biers immediately stepped forward and said:"I want to know where my family is now."Klein swung his left arm and took out a beautifully patterned silver mirror, smiling as he asked:"What was the answer to the question I just asked?"The surface of the mirror shimmered with water, revealing one after another in silver letters:"Beldan Gorling Cemetery..."Biers, with his neck stretched, saw this and felt a heavy heart well up on his face.In an instant, new silver words leaped out from the water:"...
Guardian's Hut."This means...
Biers turned from sorrow to joy as he said sincerely,"Thank you."The moment the words left his mouth, he suddenly thought of two questions:How many people can live in the guardian's hut?How many guardians are there?His family couldn't just be a few!Biers' expression fluctuated, and he fell silent again.This made him miss Klein's question on the mirror:"Great Master, have I answered well enough?""Yes," Klein nodded slightly, turning to the remaining lady.Pascha considered for two seconds before saying,"My wish is that you protect us until we can leave Beldan alive."She realized Río's previous wish was problematic because it wasn't necessarily a living person leaving Beldan."Smart," Klein smiled and praised, "Your wish will be fulfilled.""What do we have to pay?I mean, the reward for watching magic shows," Pascha asked urgently."Your wishes themselves are the price." Klein replied briefly before pondering, "If you know something is fake but still use it voluntarily, shouldn't that not be considered fraud, right?"Río and company looked puzzled and thought deeply.
They shook their heads one after another:"Certainly not.""This is actually a game between both parties.""Voluntary actions with clear recognition definitely don't count as fraud.""There can be no doubt about it,"After hearing all four of them's answers, Klein smiled."Very well, this is the normal perception of common people."As he spoke, his right hand reached out, pulling a woman in simple clothes and black hair from the projection.That was the historical parallax image of the Night College Dean Arianna.Klein glanced to both sides, saw nothing amiss, then smiled at her:"Lady, what's happened?"Arianna's eyes moved slightly, becoming profound as she made one feel a sense of inner peace.She spoke in a calm voice,"The Great High Priest of the God of War Laryon has escaped.
I'm following him."Pausing for a moment, Arianna continued:"After arriving in Beldan, I received new intelligence.It says that when Laryon fled, he took an item with him.'0—02'."
