Ian felt like he had had a very long dream, in which he became her and experienced a long time.
In the dream, she was sold to a slave trader when she was ten years old, and then sold to a nobleman as a maid. She was said to be a maid, but in fact it was to satisfy the perverted habits of the fat pig-like Viscount. Those who could not pass the network review
Many of the words represent the real torture she suffered every day, which was her lifelong nightmare.
Resentment began to grow, and she resented everyone. But the deeper emotion than resentment was despair.
In that dark room, covered with scars, she had nowhere to escape and was on the verge of collapse. Finally, one winter day, she caught typhoid fever, and then the viscount never came again, and she was soon thrown into
The mass grave itself destroyed itself, and the Viscount had already found a new plaything.
For some people, death is not scary, but the process of waiting for death is scary. The winter on the West Coast is not warmer than in the north. Several inches of snow cover the ground, and it rains non-stop in the sky. The person responsible for transporting the "corpse"
The two servants spat out thick phlegm, which was frozen into lumps of ice before they reached the ground.
In such weather, not to mention crows, even wolves will not come out to hunt.
She lost her body temperature rapidly but still remained conscious. The biting cold air penetrated from her limbs into her internal organs. This process was as painful as being stabbed by ice needles all over her body. Even the knights with beliefs as strong as iron could not bear the pain. She was destined to die.
Die in endless pain.
But there was a smile on her face, because this painful and disgusting life was finally coming to an end.
"That's great!" she thought happily.
Before she fell into darkness, she suddenly felt a warmth she had never felt before - could the world of the undead be a warm world?
But it wasn't until she opened her eyes again that she realized that she was not dead, and someone had saved her.
But she didn't feel grateful. Instead, she hated this person. The world was so disgusting, why did she want to save her?
"Little girl, you're awake!" The man smiled.
She looked at him in silence. Rather than saying that the two were looking at each other, it would be better to say that she was looking blankly ahead without focus. What focus could a numb puppet without a soul have in his eyes?
The man didn't take it seriously and continued: "My name is Jacques, what's your name?"
Seeing that she didn't answer, the man named Jacques was not angry and said to himself: "You are so lucky. You were in great danger when I met you. Your heart had stopped beating, but I saved you."
Yes, hahaha, uncle is really awesome."
…
In the following days, he and she stayed in the same room like this. Jacques often left enough food and then left for four or five days, leaving her alone here.
It was still snowy and bitterly cold outside. But she never wanted to stay alone in the house, even if she fainted from the cold many times.
Fortunately, Jacques miraculously arrived every time to save her, but no matter how Jacques asked or said, she was always unwilling to stay alone in a warm room. There was no other way, so Jacques had to arrange a magic circle to raise the temperature outside the house.
temperature.
From that moment on, she knew that this warm-hearted uncle was the cannibal wizard in the story.
But this wizard doesn't eat people, and he never asks about her past or scars. His only hobby is to observe all things. He says that there are veins in all things, and if you straighten out the veins, you can gain strength.
But she didn't want power, she just wanted to die, but Uncle Jacques often told her some interesting things, so she thought maybe she could die later, after this person left.

Jacques told her many things, but she never answered or told him her name.
"I have a name, but I don't want it anymore. Uncle, can you give me a name?" Before Jacques left again, she finally spoke. This was the first time she spoke, and she said this for the first time.
Talkative.
Jacques smiled happily when he heard this. He thought about it for a while but couldn't think of the name he wanted, so he had to say in annoyance: "Uncle can't think of it right now. I'll give you a name when I come back, okay? I promise I will give it to you."
Come up with a nice, nice name!"
She nodded, looking forward to something for the first time in her life.
Then came the waiting day and night. This time she was no longer waiting at the door because she didn't dare to stay alone in the house. This time she was looking forward to a nice name.
Then Jacques came back. In the wind and snow, he found a sherry flower without knowing where it was. The flower was in bud, with thin leaves and subtle buds. In addition, Jacques held it tightly all the way, so the flower was already wilted. But
But she took it carefully, holding it with both hands on her chest like a treasure.
"Shirley, how about Shirley Becky? I hope you can bloom in winter like this Shirley flower." Jacques carefully tried to rub her hair, but seeing that she didn't avoid it like a frightened little animal, he
Then he laughed.
"Okay, my name will be Shirley from now on, hee." This was the first time he saw Shirley smile. Unfortunately, she seemed to find it awkward and immediately took her smile back, which made Jacques unable to help but feel pity. It's so cute.
What a pity it is that the little girl refuses to laugh.
The two spent the whole winter in the cabin, but Shirley was left alone most of the time.
In the rare two-way communication between the two, Jacques said that he was an array mage and was responsible for the magic defense line of the Second Legion, so he needed to go out to check the magic array from time to time.
Shirley asked her what an array mage was, and Jacques thought about it and replied that it was an interesting profession.
Shirley looked at the wind and snow in the sky three inches away, but felt as warm as spring within her body. She seemed to understand, and said, "Is it a profession that brings warmth to people?"
This was the first time that Jacques heard someone commenting on wizards like this. He wanted to tell Shirley that it was not the case, but Hercules' teachings to him finally made him nod his head and said: "If you think that's the case, then yes!"
Never deny someone easily, said Hercules.
Shirley was very happy after hearing this. Ian swore that this was the warmest of all the emotions he had ever felt. However, this warmth was quickly swallowed up by more coldness and darkness. People who are desperate and numb will not easily
Close to light and heat.
People always have to separate. Three years later, Jacques' mission on the west coast has temporarily come to an end. He will return to Devon, and Shirley has also reached the age of thirteen.
Jacques asked her if she would like to move to Devon, and Shirley asked: "Will you always be with me?" She bit her lip tightly, and after asking, her face was pale and there was no trace of blood.
All her strength was gone.
Jacques was stunned. He shook his head and said, "I am a wizard and cannot live with mortals, but I will visit you often."
He encouraged the little girl: "I will help you find a good family so that you can grow up healthy and happy, get married and have children, and be happy for the rest of your life."
"Uncle, I promise!" Jacques raised his right hand and lightly hammered his chest, swearing sincerely.
But Shirley burst into tears. She knelt on the ground in a daze, sobbing and said: "Uncle, I want to be a wizard." Of course Jacques told her that wizards are dangerous, not to others, but to wizards.
He will experience a lot of dangers, but he doesn't want to see Shirley
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Xin also used the wounds on his body as an example. The hideous scar that penetrated the chest could not be removed even by magic.
But Shirley still knelt on the ground and begged him that she wanted to be a wizard. It no longer meant anything to her where she would live her life, but she wanted to follow this uncle who always smiled gently...
"Ian, you finally woke up."
When Ian woke up from his dream, he heard the surprised voice of Sean Gracie. Only then did he realize that he had returned to his room, and he and Sean were the only ones in the room.
(It seems that I have been in a coma for a while. Oh, how does that bastard Roger do things!)
He was silent for a while, his emotions still suppressed by the dream. It took a lot of effort for Ian to adjust, and he asked: "Xian, who saved me?"
Sheen looked at him in surprise and asked: "So you know what happened... Mr. Jacques and Mr. Dean asked you. But you haven't woken up since. It's been ten days since the meeting ended. If I hadn't thought
I came here to see you wake up before I left, and I won’t be here now.”
"Has it been ten days? It's really long enough." But the time in the dream was longer. After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Where are you going?"
Hearing this, Sheen forced a laugh, his eyes dimmed, and he pretended to be relaxed: "Where else can I go? Of course I plan to leave Norton Mountain."
Ian was very puzzled when he heard this. He was a good butler, so why would he want to leave? So he tentatively asked, "Is it because of the last meeting?"
Sheen nodded and said: "Yes, but not entirely. Of course I am afraid of war, but the more reason is that I no longer have the opportunity to be promoted to a gifted person."
He grinned, and his smile was very fake: "I came to Todes Cemetery when I was 9 years old. I awakened when I was 15 years old. I started helping my seniors with the affairs of the monastery when I was 18 years old. I have been here until now, ten days shy of turning 35 years old.
"I've been tired of staying in Tods Cemetery all these years without seeing the light of day. It's time to go out and enjoy the happiness." He chuckled and said, "Maybe you don't know, but I am the same way.
You are a noble, it is time to go back and think about marrying your wife and having a baby. Whoever wants to participate in this war can do so."
Hearing this, Ian said, "Have you told the teacher?"
Sheen shook his head and said: "Not yet, the monastery is preparing for war now, and there are too many things to do. I plan to finish my work for a while before talking about it."
"Then why did you tell me in advance?" Ian asked.
Sheen thought for a while and said uncertainly: "Perhaps we get along better? Does Lord Hyde look down on his old friend after he was promoted to a gifted person?"
Ian laughed and cursed: "Get out!"
After that, Sheen told him the current situation of the monastery, and Ian finally understood how much had happened in the monastery after he fell into coma.
While the two were chatting, they saw Jasmine pushing the door in and seeing Ian sitting upright and chatting with Sheen, so she said: "Master Hyde is completely fine. It seems that he will be able to enter the Sentinel's Sorrow soon."
, when the time comes to take charge of a position of great power, don’t forget to take care of the little girl.”
Ian saw her teasing him, so he waved his hand and boldly agreed: "Of course, no problem."
Jasmine immediately burst into laughter and said disdainfully: "Bah, bah, bah, you are such a loudmouthed guy who is not ashamed."
Ian rolled his eyes, covered his nose and retorted: "Oh, it's so sour, so sour."
