Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

"Have you learned it?" After Elodi lifted the restrictions she had set, she asked the young magician standing beside her.

"Yeah." Xie Wei nodded, and then at Ilodi's signal, he reset the restrictions and opened the barrier.

There were restrictions and barriers set up by Elodi in the attic of the [Shiavilos] Inn. Although Xie Wei had learned how to remove the restrictions and open the barriers several months ago, she still demonstrated it again.

Although she knew he was a smart kid, she was still worried... worried that when he wanted to come back here in the future, he wouldn't have the "key" to open the door.

Cyril leaned on the counter in the hotel lobby and said to Mr. Ted, who was in charge of running the hotel: "Promise me that you will keep the sword safe no matter what. I don't know when its owner will come to take it away, but I believe that you will definitely be alive at that time, my friend."

"Excuse me, Master Cyril. This is the 87th time you have asked me to do this this month. Please believe in my loyalty. Even if I have to wait until the fall of the Labyrinth of Bellagia, I will give the sword to its owner with all my strength. But I don't understand. Since you value it so much, why don't you give it to the other party in person?"

Mr. Ted is a retired bounty hunter. He is 65 years old. For a human being, if he is lucky, he can probably live another 65 years.

But he didn't know the race of the owner of the sword that his boss asked him to keep safe, nor did he know when the other party would come to take it.

The boss just said vaguely that it would take about ten to twenty years, or maybe even longer.

"Yeah, why not give it to him personally? Why... maybe I'm busy." Cyril murmured to himself, and he sincerely hoped so.

He ran away from home at the age of 14 to become an adventurer, and officially retired at the age of 26. With his 12 years of experience as an adventurer, Cyril took less than half a month to guess the possible relationship between the magician named "Xie" and himself, Elodi and Iriel from Elodi's behavior and emotional fluctuations, as well as the surprising and inexplicable affection he felt from the bottom of his heart when facing the black-haired young magician.

As the magician's companion and a fairly famous adventurer, Cyril actually knows much more about the laws of time than Xie Wei, the trial guide who knows nothing.

So he was just like Elodie. No matter how many things he wanted to say or how many questions he wanted to ask, he could only ask and speak in a roundabout way.

The most taboo thing about magic related to time is that things that should not have changed in the past and the future suddenly change because of some person or thing.

After all, a change in one place means that it will soon trigger more changes in other places. If something goes wrong in one link, various problems will arise in the entire link, and eventually deviate from the original established path.

If this happens, the law of time will immediately intervene and force the deviated path back on track.

Under the correction of the power of law, relevant personnel who may cause the established path to deviate from the right track may have their memories that they should not have erased or tampered with.

In order to correct the established path, the power of law can make things that exist not exist, and make things that do not exist exist.

Cyril didn't want his memory to be erased or tampered with, so he had been abiding by the rules of the Law of Time. Even though he knew that the day when he would lose his memories was not particularly far away, he still wanted to keep these memories until the last deadline.

In the front yard of the inn, the little werewolf Derry was moving the luggage onto the carriage. The inn's cooks and other staff were also loading things onto the carriage.

In the backyard of the inn, Sophia was holding Iriel's little hand and accompanying him to say goodbye to every tree in the yard and the birds on every tree.

There are no more eggs in the bird's nest on the tree, but instead there are little birds growing up.

Three-year-old Iriel didn't know that without human intervention, it was basically impossible for the big trees in the same yard to have different species of birds on each tree like the trees in the backyard of the hotel.

When Xie Wei and Elodi came down from upstairs, Iriel had already said his final goodbyes to his tree friends and bird friends.

After seeing his mother and Xie Xie, the three-year-old Curly let go of Grandma Sophia's hand and rushed straight to Xie Wei.

Xie Wei, who was already very experienced, took two steps back, then bent his knees, bent over and stretched out his hands, and was embraced by his brother with a milky smell.

Yrel loves being held by someone close to him.

Xie Wei also liked to hold Iriel, his brother when he was little Curly. He was like a sticky milky pastry, soft and fragrant in his arms.

Elodi used a half-finished magic photo prop to record the image of Xie Wei holding Iriel, and then took the initiative to ask Xie Wei if he wanted to take a video together.

After Sophia helped take more than twenty images, Cyril also eagerly joined the team taking pictures. In fact, in the past few months, they have already left many images with the magic props for taking pictures, but how can this be too much?

In the end, Cyril called all the hotel staff to the backyard, and everyone gathered together to leave many precious images that can be watched repeatedly.

At this time, Cyril didn't know that this would be their first and only group photo.

At one o'clock in the afternoon on July 968, 7 of the Imperial Calendar, Mr. Cyril and his family left the Shiavilos Inn as they had done in previous years, watched by the inn staff and adventurers living in the inn.

They are going back to the big cities in the southern region.

"Are you really not going to the southern region with us? Cyril handed a fruit to the black-haired magician who was riding a horse beside him. He vaguely knew that it would not be a good thing for Xie Wei to stay with them for a long time.

But when he thought about Xie Wei saying that he wanted to collect magical plants and monster materials that could be used to make banned drug soothing agents, he really couldn't let the child walk alone on the Lar continent.

"Yeah." After taking the fruit and taking a small bite, Xie Wei nodded obediently.

Before, Elodie and Dagambi were worried that Xie Wei would become addicted to his current life, but Xie Wei was more rational and calm than Dagambi thought.

He was lost for only a brief moment, but soon remembered that he did not belong here.

Elodie told Shevi that his novel ideas gave her more ideas to think about when cracking the magic circuit of the slave contract, so even if they were not together in the future, they would use the familiars made by Mason to communicate with each other's progress.

Xie Wei split the magic circuit of the slave contract into several parts. He and Elodi cracked the more complicated parts, and the rest would be handed over to other people after Elodi returned to the southern region. In this way, although there would be some breaks in the magic circuits that needed to be cracked, the efficiency would be relatively higher.

Thrall is not bound by a slave contract in the future, nor is he addicted to banned potions.

Xie Wei didn't know whether what he was doing now would help Sal ​​in the future. He tried to test Dagambie, and Dagambie said he didn't know, but he supported him in doing these things. Under the restriction of the law of time, it seemed useless and just a waste of time.

Dagambie said that the Colosseum where Sal was would go to many places, and if one had no clue for the time being, one could go back and follow the Colosseum's convoy.

But there is no need to worry too much. They can stay in various places for a few days just like when they went to Bellagio. They will always be able to find some magical plants or medicinal herbs that may be useful.

After leaving Bellagio, we traveled all afternoon. The carriage moved quite fast and entered the yard of the post station just before the sun set.

However, since there were no more rooms or beds in the inn, Xie Wei followed Cyril and got on the carriage with a space magic circle.

It was the first time for Xie Wei to get on Cyril's carriage. After getting in, he found that this carriage was the same as his. The space inside was larger than it looked from the outside. There was a not-so-spacious bathroom, a simple stove, as well as tables, chairs, benches and beds.

Dinner was prepared by Ilodi and Cyril together. Shevi was sent to take Iriel out to play in the carriage, while Grandma Sophia and the others who were accompanying her ate and rested in another carriage.

After dinner, Elodie and Cyril took Shevi and Iriel for a walk in the yard of the inn, and then returned to the carriage together.

There was only one double bed in the carriage, and Cyril spread two quilts on the floor. When Xie Wei finished washing and came out of the bathroom, Cyril was already lying on the floor, waving for him to come over.

It was a bit hot at night in late July, but there was ice in the carriage. Lying on the soft bedding, Shevi and Cyril shared a long pillow and were covered with a thin blanket. Shevi was not particularly sleepy, but with his head on the pillow and listening to Cyril's story, he fell into a deep sleep soon.

After Xie Wei fell asleep, Cyril moved and lay down next to Xie Wei.

Elodi, who was originally sitting on the bed reading a magic book, sat in Cyril's seat and continued telling stories to Cyril, who was not yet sleepy.

When Yrel fell asleep, Elodi put down the storybook and lay down gently beside Yrel.

Dagambie, who had always been with Xie Wei but had rarely had the opportunity to be alone with Xie Wei recently, flew from Xie Wei's shoulder to Ilodi's shoulder.

Elodi raised his hand and condensed a golden light magic element and handed it to him. Dagumbi took his snack, the magic element biscuit. He knew that he was a bit redundant at the moment, so he left the carriage holding his biscuit.

Elodie and Cyril lay on their sides on the bedclothes, and there was no communication between them, as each of their eyes was fixed on the sleeping child.
