Chapter 25 Unexpected
Old Carl sighed, suddenly looked up at the sky, and was silent for a while before he slowly said: "The lid of the coffin is hollow, and it contains some special energy to suppress her in the coffin..."
After pausing, Old Carl said again: "She had died a long time ago, but before her death she was hit an extremely vicious curse and would wake up every thirty years. Only by completely dispersing the black fog on her body can she enter 'sleep' again. Otherwise, she would be exposed and murderous. Moreover, even if the black fog on her body was dispersed and he was allowed to fall asleep, if she was not placed in the sarcophagus and covered the coffin lid in time, she would "awake" again."
"Then...who is she?" Lin Feng frowned: "How could he be hit by such a evil curse?"
"she……"
Old Carl's eyes were covered with sadness, and his emotions were a little low, but he still said: "She is my wife."
……wife?
Lin Feng was so surprised that he couldn't stop talking. When Old Carl said this, Lin Feng fell silent. He saw the sadness in Old Carl's eyes. Although he wanted to know why his teacher's wife was cast by a curse and why Old Carl had that kind of spell, etc., he had the idea of an adult after all. He knew that this time was not the time to ask more questions, so he took the initiative to shut his mouth.
He knew that if Old Carl wanted to tell himself, he would definitely tell himself. If he didn't want to tell himself, there was no need to ask him on his own initiative and deliberately sprinkle salt on his wounds.
Lin Feng has experienced the pain of being betrayed by his girlfriend and can deeply understand Old Carl's mood at this moment. He knows that it is better not to recall such things. Even if you recall them, it will not change the facts that have happened. So, let it gradually be buried in your heart as time goes by!
If you can, don’t mention it!
As for why you can't hurt her? Is that too much? Lin Feng thought about it from the perspective of others and immediately understood - if it were your wife, would you bear to let others attack when she was waking up with a curse?
When Old Carl saw Lin Feng very tactfully and did not ask questions, he couldn't help but look at Lin Feng strangely, but he was not ready to speak out on his own initiative. He sighed. Old Carl seemed to have had enough rest, stood up from the ground, patted the loess on his butt, and said to Lin Feng: "Let's go back."
This voice was filled with a faint helplessness and emotion. Lin Feng heard it and didn't speak, but just nodded gently.
There was nothing to say all the way, both of them seemed to be immersed in their memories. When the two returned to the house again, Old Carl finally took the initiative to change the topic: "Little guy, did you say you wanted to go out for training before?"
"Yes, I'm going to go out for some experience and strengthen my strength." Seeing this, Lin Feng also tacitly ignored what had just happened.
Old Carl took a breath: "Then where are you going?"
"I'm going to go to the northern ice field and join an adventure team on the periphery."
Lin Feng quickly gave an answer. He had read some books by Old Carl and learned from it that in the north of the continent, peace-loving elves live in the depths of the ice field, but if you want to reach the forest where the elves live, you have to travel through the ice field that adventurers call "hell nightmare".
The ice field of Hell's Nightmare is full of all kinds of monsters. Many adventure teams will hunt some monsters on this ice field, take away their magic cores or take away the monster's skins in exchange for some rewards.
But these people are all a group of people walking on the blade. Facing the endless ice field of monsters, they have no idea whether their lives will end in the mouth of a certain monster in the next moment.
However, the small adventurer team only dares to walk around the outside of the ice field. Only some experienced large adventure teams dare to go deep into the depths of the ice field.
The peripheral adventure team Lin Feng mentioned refers to a small team of adventurers. This team consists of a number of people ranging from five to ten. Their goal is to operate on the peripheral side of the ice field, hunting some low-level monsters in exchange for a small amount of money.
Small adventure teams like this are almost everywhere on the outer periphery of the ice field, and even the number of monsters is not enough for adventurers to hunt. In such a small team, it should be said that they will not encounter any danger.
Therefore, Lin Feng told Lao Carl about this matter with confidence. He firmly believed that even if he was just a child at the moment, with his comprehensive strength of level three magic, there were still many adventure teams willing to win over him. Even some large adventure groups welcomed magicians to join. After all, not only are the number of arrogant magicians, but they are not only rare, but also how many of them will come to this dangerous frozen forest with the salary of the empire every month?
However, Lin Feng just used this sentence as a cover, and he didn't want to go to the north where people could freeze to death.
However, beyond Lin Feng's surprise, Old Carl's next words directly exposed Lin Feng's trick.
"Hmph, little guy, do you want to go to the northern ice field to experience it? Don't joke."
Old Carl seemed to have forgotten what had just happened and smiled contemptuously: "Even if you can be of a level 3 magician, do you think you can survive on the periphery of the ice field? There are more people on the periphery than monsters. You can see a living monster. Several small adventure groups have already rushed over! You have no chance to take action at all. Moreover, because you are a magician, you can be more envied by other small adventure groups. They will even sneak into your tent while you meditate, and then kill you together, and then solve your companions. Then they will rob you of the magic cores you got after hunting the monsters, or be killed by another adventure team. Can you understand what I said?"
Old Carl took a breath and finally concluded: "Hmph, the level of danger in this periphery is no less than the depths of the ice field! But you will face not high-level monsters, but humans! You must understand that humans are even harder to deal with than monsters! They are even more cunning than monsters! Humph, as far as I see, you don't want to go to the hell nightmare ice field at all, right?"
Obviously, when Old Carl said this, he did not realize that he himself was also a part of the cunning human being.
"Uh..." Lin Feng was about to explain, but Old Carl leaned forward and laughed: "Little guy, don't have to play such low-level tricks in front of me. If I guess well, you should want to go to Paul's Academy in the Imperial Capital to learn martial arts, right?"
"Okay, my teacher, I admit you said it well..."
At this point, Lin Feng could only admit his thoughts. He knew that there were many loopholes in his words. Moreover, the battle just now revealed all his strength. He also used his age as a means to decide to bet with Old Carl, but unexpectedly, Old Carl exposes his tricks and accurately expresses his inner thoughts.
"Since you have exposed it, it doesn't make any sense for me to hide it."
Finally, Lin Feng was ready to accept Old Carl's angry anger.
"Little guy, do you think I'm old and confused? Over the past year, you've been inquiring about Paul's Academy from various angles. How can I not know what you think?"
Old Carl sighed, and his expression seemed a little lonely: "Not only do I know this, I also know that during this year, you will often sneak out to cut out those woods to exercise in the middle of the night. Don't be surprised, I see all this, and, just now, I could see that your physical strength is already extraordinary... However, if you want to go to Paul's Academy to learn martial arts, then go, I won't stop you."
"I……"
Lin Feng's expression was full of strangeness, and his heart was full of shock. He never thought that Old Carl, who had a hot temper and stubborn opinion, would be so open-minded this time, and his tone sounded stable and had no intention of being angry at all.
For a moment, Lin Feng didn't know what to do. The words of persuasion that had been carefully prepared seemed to be useless now.
"Okay, little guy, don't look at me like this. I'm not the kind of stubbornness you think. Judging from the firm expression you had when you chopped the wood, I knew that one day you would say goodbye to me. Since you can't keep you, why should I force you again!"
Old Carl sighed, took out a seemingly wooden ring and threw it to Lin Feng: "Take it, this is a space ring. The size of the space inside will increase with your mental strength. Even if it is used as a gift for me to give you before leaving! Okay, you can go out now, I have to stay alone for a while... Oh, by the way, don't forget to tell your mother at night, you can set off again tomorrow morning!"
After saying this, a tired look appeared on Old Carl's face. He waved to Lin Feng, then closed his eyes and entered a meditation state.
Lin Feng sighed and walked out of Old Carl's room with the space ring. He had not yet come back to his senses for the "soft" reaction of Old Carl this time.
After standing there for a while, Lin Feng looked at Old Carl's room again, knocked on his head, and murmured: "Is this a 're favor' the old guy gave me?"
