More than half a month later, the Saint Margaret crossed the endless abyss and arrived at the Olympus continent in the south.
After half a month of cultivation, Sun Ran had basically recovered from his previous weakness. The only trace that remained was his gray temples.
The young man has a white head, and the vicissitudes of his life are hard to describe. This strand of white hair has completely wiped out the childish aura on his body.
Before arriving at the port, Sun Ran went to the deck, looked at the coastline getting closer, and sighed deeply.
"Mr. Rhodes..." The captain came over.
Sun Ran raised his hand to stop him: "My name is not Rhodes, my real name is Russell."
"Great Magician Russell!" The captain's eyes suddenly widened. In the northern continent, the reputation of Great Magician Russell spread throughout the streets, and even a child with a yellow mouth could say Russell's name in one breath.
This is an unparalleled evil god who killed an army of 300,000 people in a forbidden curse trap!
The captain was speechless for a moment.
Sun Ran smiled faintly, took out a few gems from Medusa's lair, and handed them to the captain: "You have suffered a great loss on this trip, and your sailor family also needs to be compensated. You can take this and make up for it."
, it can be regarded as my shipping fee."
The captain lowered his head and looked at the gems in his hand. They were all as big as pigeon eggs and crystal clear. They were all priceless treasures, which were enough to make up for his losses.
He was so moved that he was speechless.
Sun Ran ignored him and looked at the shore getting closer and sighed: "You have been with me for many years, but you only know how valuable it is once you lose it."
He released the Great Flying Technique and soared into the sky.
"Sir, where are you going?"
"A homeless man. He can go wherever he wants." came the answer from the air, but the person had already gone away quickly.
The magician Edwin on the side walked up and asked: "Is he Russell?"
The captain nodded.
"No wonder...no wonder it's so powerful." Edwin suddenly said, how could such a powerful magician appear out of thin air? It turned out to be the famous magician Russell. But looking at it now, this man is really young.
"Well, what's the use of being strong? You won't necessarily live a happier life than us." The old magician Luc who spoke at the interface let out a long sigh.
"That's because fate is unfair." The captain sighed. He took out the gem given by Sun Ran and said, "Russell gave it to me. I can't keep this gem by myself. Let's exchange it for gold coins together."
In the temple, Athena watched this scene quietly, then looked at Russell who was quickly walking away, and said to herself: "If nothing else, this Russell has a pretty good character."
However, having extraordinary talent and good character is rare, so Athena decided to continue observing.
In the sky, Sun Ran used the Great Flying Technique and flew away from the St. Margaret.
When he came back to the south this time, he originally came to seek refuge and check on the situation in the south. But something like Zhao Shan's departure happened, and there was a god in the sky who was watching him, so Sun Ran couldn't act rashly, and his sister was
He accidentally killed him by accident, and he couldn't just let it pass. Otherwise, it would be too sudden.
After much deliberation, Sun Ran decided to continue acting. Acting as a way to hide away from the world and live in seclusion.
He had no destination in mind, so he flew for a long time at will, covering hundreds of kilometers. Suddenly he saw a small town with beautiful mountains and green waters below him. After thinking about it, he landed outside the town.
When we arrived at the gate of the town, we saw a stone tablet with the words "Muxi Town" written on it. Looking up, we saw on the left hand side a clear stream with a width of more than 40 meters and rapid water flow. There was a water-driven lumberyard in the town.
There are also water-powered mills and waterwheels, and some simple wooden houses next to them.
A very peaceful and simple town.
Sun Ran decided to live here, anonymously, and live a quiet life.
When they arrived at the town, militiamen with swords and leather armor came up to them: "Stranger, he looks like a magician. What do you want to do in Muxi Town?"
"I'm wandering around, looking for a place to settle down."
"Settle in our town?"
"Yes, can I see your mayor? I hope to get his permission."
"Mayor? What a pity. There happened to be no mayor. He was bitten to death by a wolf in the woods when he went out, leaving only a thigh bone. Oh, that's really tragic." The militiaman had a accustomed expression on his face.
There are many wild beasts in this small town, and it is very normal for wild beasts to attack.
He continued: "We haven't had time to elect a new mayor yet. If you want to settle down, just choose a piece of land nearby, but don't choose it on someone else's field, and then spend money to find someone to build a house. That'll be fine.
Also, you have to be careful not to use your magic everywhere. We are protected by Mr. Leon, the great magician in Arpad City. If you go too far, you will be punished by Arpad City!"
"Okay." Sun Ran looked around, and finally pointed to an open space by the woods and asked, "Can I build a wooden house there?"
"Of course. If you are not afraid of wild animals breaking into your home in the middle of the night, please feel free to do so." The militiaman chuckled.
For ordinary players living in ordinary towns, the beasts in the forest are their biggest enemies in daily life, and their lives may be taken away at any time.
Of course, Sun Ran was not afraid of wild beasts, so he smiled and said, "Thank you very much. Then, can I cut down the surrounding trees to use as materials for building a house?"
"Of course... you can, but you have to pay. The trees around the town are the property of the town."
Sun Ran reached into his pocket and got seven or eight gold coins. With a flash of light, he used magic to erase the portraits on the gold coins and melted the gold coins into irregular stone shapes. Then he took out his pocket and handed them to the militiamen:
"This is the gold nugget I picked up when I was traveling. I can use it to pay for the wood, okay?"
At this time, many townspeople had come to watch the excitement. Everyone saw and heard that it was an open transaction, and Sun Ran was not afraid of the militiaman cheating.
The militiaman's eyes lit up, he took the gold nugget, turned to the townspeople and smiled: "Okay, everyone, we have a generous neighbor here. Let's share this gold nugget equally!"
The townspeople immediately laughed happily, and some young people whistled, very happy about the windfall coming here, and their eyes became much more enthusiastic when looking at Sun Ran.
Someone shouted: "Welcome to Muxi Town."
The militiaman patted Sun Ran on the shoulder with a smile on his face: "Good luck magician, just stay here. If you need help, just let us know. As long as you take care of the food, we will help you to the end."
"Thank you very much." Sun Ran smiled. He took out another melted gold nugget and said, "I am a homeless person with no food. With this piece of gold, I can ask someone to help me build a wooden house, okay?"
The militiaman took the gold and said with a smile: "You are so generous. OK, we will help."
Then he greeted a strong man next to him and threw the gold nugget over: "Diff, good luck to you, you have earned this money. Take the gold and work hard for others!"
Then he introduced to Sun Ran: "Did you see it? His name is Difu, a carpenter in the town. He will build you an excellent house."
The strong man took the gold nugget with both hands, put it in his mouth and bit it hard. After confirming that it was real gold, he enthusiastically patted his chest and promised Sun Ran: "Mr. Magician, five days, I only need five days, and you will have a gold nugget."
The best wooden house in town. For these five days, you can stay at my house for food and accommodation."
"Thank you very much. Also, my name is Russell."
"Oh, okay. Mr. Russell."
After some exchanges, Sun Ran was initially accepted by the town and moved into the carpenter's home.
Difu was very responsible. After taking Sun Ran to his house, he immediately went out to build a house. His wife, a woman in her thirties, started busy preparing food to entertain Sun Ran.
Sun Ran was also a little hungry. He sat at the table and drank sweet ale to pass the time.
"Uncle, why is your hair white? Is it dyed?" A milky voice sounded beside him.
Sun Ran turned around and saw a four or five-year-old boy standing nearby, looking at him curiously with a pair of dark eyes.
Sun Ran looked stunned for a moment, then felt sad for a while, then smiled and shook his head: "No, it's not dyed, it's just born like this."
"Oh, just like the white fox in the forest, right?"
"Yes." Sun Ran smiled.
At this time, the woman came up and served a large plate of fragrant potato stew soup. She smiled sheepishly and said: "Little Lako is too young and can't speak very well. I'm really sorry. Also, it's winter now, so...
This is the only one. I hope you will be satisfied."
"That's enough, thank you very much." Sun Ran filled the stew soup, tasted it, it was extremely delicious, and started to drink it deliciously.
…
Five days later, the carpenter Difu completed the wooden house as scheduled. Sun Ran went over to take a look. The wooden house also had two floors, a cellar, and a stove. It was indeed the best in the town.
He moved in with great satisfaction and started living a peaceful life in a small town.
Athena's eyes followed him all the way and continued to observe Sun Ran's life.
A day later, she felt something was wrong.
"Stands, robes, and magic books are all hidden. What are you planning to do?"
Half a month later, Athena finally understood.
"Because you accidentally killed your sister with magic, are you ready to stop using magic? You're a fool, let's see how long you can endure it!"
A powerful magician who originally deeply loved magic was suddenly completely isolated from magic, lost all the conveniences brought by magic, and lived an ordinary life. This was simply a kind of torture.
Athena believed that after a while, Russell would hold his staff again.
Time passes quickly.
A month later, Russell was drinking in a tavern, getting very drunk and crying. The blacksmith in the town, who was also drunk, thought he was noisy, so the two sides started fighting and beat the ground all over.
During this period, Russell, as a magician, faced the strong blacksmith and was once at a disadvantage of being beaten.
However, Russell did not use magic.
Two months later, a lone wolf broke into Russell's cabin, almost succeeded in a sneak attack, and bit off Russell's neck. He was discovered at the last moment. One man and one wolf began to fight hand-to-hand, and Russell's arm was bitten and broken in the end.
The lone wolf was strangled by the neck and suffocated to death.
At the critical moment of life and death, Russell still did not use magic.
Half a year later, the gold coins in Russell's pocket were about to be exhausted, and he had fully integrated into the town. In order to save money, he took matters into his own hands, built a wooden fence around the wooden house, reclaimed the land, planted vegetables in the yard, and raised
He also raised chickens and ducks, and a hunting dog for warning.
Due to the pressure of life, Russell still did not use magic. He seemed to have completely forgotten the glory of the past.
Athena finally couldn't bear it anymore and gritted her teeth with resentment: "A great magician got into a fight with someone in a tavern, was bitten and seriously injured by a wild wolf, and even dug for food in the mud. He really let himself down!"
"Ah, Athena, who are you scolding?" a voice came from behind.
Turning around, Athena saw Venus walking into the main hall. Although she was not dealing with this woman, she still replied: "It's the Russell I have been observing, and he is actually preparing to forget magic. I really can't understand it!"
"
"No?" Venus didn't believe it.
"See for yourself." Athena pushed past the observation record image.
Venus looked through it and chuckled: "This is interesting. But, this test is not profound enough. Just watch, I will give him a test. If he can still use magic, then there is no hope at all.
Already."
"Are you going to play your old tricks of separation and death between boys and girls who are passionately in love again?"
"Although it's cliché, it really works." Venus laughed.
Athena is silent, it is true, Venus has a deep understanding of human nature. Every time she descends to earth, no matter how powerful the hero is, she will bend down for her and succumb to her pomegranate skirt. She has never escaped.
Venus laughed: "The original sin of human nature is a wonderful thing that cannot be changed even if you know that it exists. Just watch, Russell can use magic."
She turned around and turned into a stream of starlight, falling into the mortal world of Muxi Town.
