Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

September 967, 9 in the Imperial Calendar was the 15th day since Xie Wei arrived in Sunset City.

Each red moon on the Lar continent lasts 30 days, so from mid-May to now, Xie Wei has stayed in Sunset City for a full 4 months.

Ever since they teamed up with Mimir and the others to explore the ruins last time, Xie Wei and the three members of Mimir's team have become good friends.

Although Xie Wei did not join Mimir's team to explore other ruins afterwards, he would occasionally go outside the city with them to do some small tasks that could be completed in half a day, such as defeating the monster Pokoblins that attacked travelers and picking certain herbs.

Mimir and his team planned to explore all the ruins around Sunset City before moving on to the next place. After teaming up with Xie Wei once, they suddenly felt that there must be a magician in the team, so they have been looking for a magician who is willing to join their team recently.

The powerful magicians have already joined other more powerful adventurer teams, so their goal is to find potential magician apprentices!

After getting familiar with the members of Mimir's team, Xie Wei no longer kept to himself. Now he gets up at six o'clock every morning, washes up, has breakfast in the lobby downstairs, and then goes to a random place outside Sunset City with Gordon to practice archery.

Gordon is very good at archery. He likes archery very much and practices for a while every day. After knowing that Xie Wei was also practicing archery, he took the initiative to make an appointment with Xie Wei to practice together in the morning.

Although they said they were practicing together, Gordon didn't actually practice much. Instead, he spent a lot of time teaching Xie Wei archery. Under his guidance and Xie Wei's own diligent practice, Xie Wei's archery skills gradually improved. Now he can shoot at close range targets quite accurately. He still needs more practice at long range targets and moving targets.

They would finish their archery practice before ten o'clock, then return to the inn together and separate in the lobby.

The Colosseum had a protective magic circle. Xie Wei couldn't always enter the Colosseum by destroying the protective magic circle like he did the first time he got carried away. This would easily get him into trouble, so most of the time he would wait until the Colosseum opened at three o'clock in the afternoon and then enter through the main gate openly.

After finishing his archery practice from 6:30 a.m. to 10 a.m., Xie Wei would stay in his room at the inn from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. before the Colosseum opened to study the magic book he brought out from the ruins.

Since the magic recorded in the magic book was very complex and ancient, Xie Wei spent a lot of time trying to understand and analyze it, and only in recent days did he start to practice it.

The light golden glass bottle that was brought out from the ruins along with the magic book is an important prop needed for the magic in the book.

The magic book calls this bottle a "soul-guiding bottle", but the real function of this bottle is to store souls.

Dagambie told Xie Wei that there are differences between spirits and souls. Most souls are unconscious. They are a kind of "thought" that remains in the world after a person dies.

Since the study of souls is prohibited on the Lar continent, there are currently no scholars or magicians who can explain clearly what this "thought" is.

As for souls with thoughts like his, they have been blessed with magic by the goddess for some other reasons, which gives them some power and a visible entity.

After listening to this, Xie Wei wanted to ask Dagambie some more questions about the soul, but after he opened his mouth to ask, Dagambie stopped talking.

Looking at Dagambie who had turned into a golden ball and rolled around on the table again, Xie Wei had become accustomed to his way of avoidance, so he stopped pestering him and started practicing his new magic again.

Every afternoon around 2:10, Xie Wei would start packing up the things on the table and prepare to go to the Colosseum.

He put the magic book into the system backpack, then sorted out the inventory of the system backpack and moved the things he needed to the front inventory.

One thing that is very strange is that when he obtained the Soul-Guiding Bottle and the Magic Book, the system did not pop up an information bar like it did when obtaining other items, nor did it make a prompt sound for points being credited. There was no response at all. After he put the Soul-Guiding Bottle and the Magic Book into the system backpack, the item slots containing these two items were still gray.

Xie Wei had never encountered this situation before. The things he bought in Sunset City, the magic plants and herbs he picked outside the city, and the monster materials he collected during the Red Moon, all showed colorful patterns in the item grid after he put them into the system backpack. This was the first time he had seen it turn gray...

In the past two months, the Palassos in the Colosseum were taken away from Sunset City one after another. Now, Sal is the only Palasso left in the Colosseum of Sunset City.

Every once in a while, Raman, the owner of the Colosseum, would change the venue for the slaves he bought. When Xie Wei heard the trainer chatting, he said that after a while, Sal would also be sent to the Colosseum in other regions.

Xie Wei will leave Sunset City with Sal at that time.

Thrall doesn't have to go down today. Under the cover of the phantom barrier, a small area in the corner of the dim room is illuminated by the soft lighting of the crystal lamp.

"Ata...Cosmo, Amu...Ella, sister...Marta, sister...Amelia, brother...Sawyer, brother...Carson, Tasan...Miranda, Miranda Tasan...Miranda..."

The black-haired boy held the parchment in his hand and read out the words he had written on the paper word by word.

Xie Wei sat next to Sal and listened carefully, occasionally correcting his pronunciation.

Seeing that Sal kept repeating Miranda's name, Xie Wei reached out and touched Sal's little head, trying to give him some comfort.

Thrall's temperature was still a little high. The people in the Colosseum fed all the gladiators banned drugs, even the children were not spared.

The side effects of banned drugs can make a person's body feel very uncomfortable, but six-year-old Sal didn't show any of that.

He was very well behaved. Not only would he carefully write down the stories He told him, but he would also take the initiative to practice writing. He believed that as long as he learned the languages ​​of other regions and wrote well, He would come to accompany him every day.

Xie Wei didn't know what Thrall thought he was, and he couldn't tell Thrall his true identity. He had never even removed the magic that concealed his body in front of Thrall, so after Thrall discovered his existence, Xie Wei became Thrall's invisible language teacher.

In fact, the reason why Shevi told stories in different languages ​​to the unconscious Sal at the beginning was because he didn't know what else he could do for Sal. He didn't expect it to develop into what it is now.

By the time Sal had written on four pieces of animal skin paper, it was almost time for the Colosseum to close. After Xie Wei put away the things that did not belong in the small room, he was about to help Sal ​​put on his hood again when Sal pulled him by the corner of his clothes.

The thin Parasol boy gently tugged at the invisible corner of his robe and asked cautiously.

"I can understand what the trainers said. They said they will send me to another Colosseum on the third day after the red moon ends. Will you go with me? Miranda's soul is here, and she can't leave. What about you? Are you the same as her?"
