Chapter 4 Secret
"I said Isaac, your eyes were a little wrong just now. You guys admit it. Do you have any inappropriate thoughts about Aya?"
As soon as the two walked out of the town, Berich immediately came over and smiled and showed an expression that seemed to see through everything.
He was holding a green dog-tail grass in his mouth, chewing it with relish.
In Isaac's memory, this seemed to be a habit of Bellici. Whenever this kid was fine, he would pick the dog's tail on the roadside and put it in his mouth to chew it.
"As a brother, what's wrong with my sister occasionally? What's more, you know about Aya's situation. She and me... are not actually related to blood."
After Isaac finished speaking, he felt like he was hiding the bell when he explained.
When I saw Berich's teasing attitude, Isaac was even more upset.
"I won't talk about this anymore. Do you know Berich? Today, when my father and I were going up the mountain to hunt, we found a young warrior who was hunted by a camp. He was seriously injured and was about to die."
"What did you say, the injured warrior? Are you in Wushan?" Berich's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes, my father also said that he was probably from the Warrior Kingdom in the South. After we sent him to the hospital in the town, Dr. Mond confirmed that the guy was a 'soul master'."
Isaac said endlessly, his expression on his face was both mysterious and hot.
For him who is used to a dull hunting life, this magical accident is not common.
"It's actually still a 'soul master'. It looks quite big. Maybe he was involved in some dispute. What do you mean is that the kid fled here from the Warrior Kingdom?"
Bellic was a little incredible.
The Warrior Kingdom is close to the Thunder Realm, and is nearly a thousand miles away. Even if you take the fastest carriage, you have to walk for five days and five nights. Ordinary people can easily cross such a long distance.
Isaac shook his head: "I don't know, everything is unknown at the moment, and the identity of the boy is not known."
"But my father has already greeted the people from the city defense team. Ale Town will strengthen its vigilance these days to prevent someone from attacking."
Upon hearing this, Berich lowered his head and pondered for a moment:
"Your father is really visionary. He is worthy of being a noble hunter from a big city. Since it is related to the 'soul master', you must be more vigilant."
Isaac knew little about soul masters. Before he first heard this strange name from his father Ax, he didn't even know that there was such a special group of people on the mainland.
"Berridge, do you know the 'soul masters' very well? What exactly are they?" he asked the other party curiously.
"Well..." Berich slowly spit out the dogtail grass in his mouth and fell into a memory.
Isaac noticed his expression changed, and the smile on Berich's face disappeared, replaced by a chilling calm.
"Before I came to Ale Town, I lived in a small town similar to that here, with fertile water and soil, towering mountains and beautiful sunsets."
"My parents and my relatives live there. Everyone works in various industries, and everyone lives a happy and fulfilling life."
"Until one day, a cruel war came on that land."
Speaking of this, Berich's face gradually dimmed.
"I think you should know that Isaac was the year when the five major powers abolished the Twenty-Four Conventions, and an elite Thunder Domain Force captured it."
"Among those people, there are two soul masters."
"They can use very powerful 'soul arts', which are as powerful as the magic depicted in the novel."
"I can never forget that scene, my parents and a dozen residents of the town struggled and screamed in the vast flames released by the two."
"Their shadows swayed painfully in the fire and smoke, and finally turned into ashes little by little."
A complex look appeared on Berich's face, and his clenched fists hung down weakly.
The pair of dark brown pupils changed from firm to loose, and then slightly moistened, slowly moving towards the place where Isaac was.
"I hate war, really. It would be great if there was no war in this world."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have reminded these bad memories."
This was the first time Isaac heard Bellic talk about his life experience. Before that, Isaac had always thought he was a strong and optimistic person.
He is not very old, to be precise, he is one year younger than Isaac.
Who would have thought that at this age that should have enjoyed the beauty of childhood, the war took away everything from Berich and forced him to look so sophisticated.
"It's all the past. To be honest, I don't hate those two soul masters. I'm just angry at my weakness and incompetence."
After Berich finished speaking, a relieved smile appeared on his face again.
In Isaac's view, no matter how he covered his smile, he felt a little sadness that he didn't want to admit.
Before they knew it, the two had left the town.
At this moment, what is presented in front of us is a wide wheat field, with many golden wheat flowers half a human tall standing in it. They look ordinary, but the function behind them is very important.
Among these wheat flowers is hidden secret passages to escape the war and leads directly to the residential houses of the town.
As soon as the alarm sounds, everyone can evacuate and escape through the secret passage as soon as possible.
There are about ten hidden secret passages.
At the beginning, at the strong request of Ax, the number should have been more.
However, due to the huge amount of projects and expensive costs, and there was no war around at that time, the rest of the projects were put on hold indefinitely.
Every time I pass by here when I leave town, Isaac will take a look at it curiously.
Imagine the narrow passage connected under each wheat blossom, flat and magnificent, like a giant abyss snake lurking in the earth's crust, crawling to the best of its ability, waiting for an opportunity to go.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Isaac has never been to authentic. If possible, he really wants to experience the feeling of strolling on the cold and damp underground cement stone steps that smell like copper rust.
That nervous and exciting feeling sounds so exciting.
Isaac's expression was seen by Berich. He took out a key from his arms mysteriously and said:
"It seems that someone's idea coincides with me, Isaac."
"No, this is the key to the underground passage? Where did you get it from?"
Isaac let out a scream, feeling a little unbelievable.
During the secret repair, Isaac had seen his father open the hidden iron door with the same key.
Unfortunately, the right to use this secret passage is usually in the hands of the person in charge and a few guard captains, and ordinary people cannot get it at all.
Berich proudly patted his chest and said, "I drank with that old man Raybe a few days ago. He drank a piece of it in the evening. You know, he has always been like this..."
"When I was picked up by the security team, the guy put the keys in my shop, and then I secretly took them to carve them."
"I tried it when I came back from the purchase yesterday. This is the key to the underground secret passage. I successfully opened the iron door."
"Isaac, I think you must be looking forward to the shocked expression on your father's face when he finds you suddenly appear at home."
Berich said, smiling badly.
"It turned out to be that old drunkard, no wonder..."
Isaac nodded silently. Even a child of his age had heard of this old fried dough stick who was notorious in the town on weekdays.
Drinking flower wine, playing rogues, and teasing widows in the town, this old naughty boy over 60 is refreshing the perception of everyone in the town every day.
Isaac couldn't understand why such an old drunkard who did nothing all day could get the respect of his father Ax and take charge of the keys to the underground secret passage.
But none of this matters, what matters is that Belicy got the key from the other party.
They can embark on an adventure right away!
