Blood.
Fire.
Scream.
Pain…
Milliam woke up from the nightmare crying, tears could not be suppressed, so that the people in front of her looked blurry.
“Awake?” the man said, handing something to her, “Drink the water, you are sweating all over, you need to replenish some water.”
Milliam was frightened, she didn’t dare to move, and even didn’t dare to cry anymore. Today was the day she met the most strangers in her short life, and they only brought her incomprehensible fear.
Murphy sighed, well, she was really scared too much.
Miriam once said that Murphy saved her when she was young, but she didn’t expect it to happen at this time.
In order to disguise his own death so that the gods would let down their guard and use the magic net, Murphy left a charred corpse after fighting with the Tuatha de Danu, and then launched a time jump and slipped away.
Even if the gods suspected the corpse, Murphy did disappear completely, and I believe they will soon forget about him.
The span of this time jump is less than a hundred years. Murphy originally planned to learn about the layout of the magic network in the current world, but he didn't expect to see someone preparing to abuse and kill children as soon as he appeared.
When encountering such a thing, he certainly couldn't let it go, so there was the previous scene.
Only after saving the person, he realized from the other person's hair color that the girl might be Miriam.
The randomness of time jump is very strong. Even if Murphy can roughly control the duration of the jump, it is difficult to accurately determine a certain day and a certain place. It is accidental that he happened to appear at the execution ground at such a critical moment.
But if we consider the premise that Miriam had already told him the fact of saving people, this matter seems to be a kind of destined inevitability.
From the perspective of an ordinary person who lives along the flow of time, the contradiction between them is simply bald, but as Murphy who has traveled through time several times, he has already had a commonplace calmness about such things.
Time and space are continuous and integrated. The past, present, and future do not exist, or exist at the same time.
It is only because people have limited observed information and are in the same time stream as all things in the macrocosm that they have the illusion that time is moving forward steadily and evenly.
In Miriam's timeline, Murphy saved her first, and then she could tell Murphy about being saved, which is in line with the cognitive logic of ordinary people.
But in Murphy's timeline, he felt that Miriam told him that she would save her first, and then the rescue event occurred - it looked like a prophecy that was fulfilled or a destined event.
This is why Miriam can become a prophet with the information provided by Sophia.
But now, Miriam's state is not very good.
Suffering such a major blow may destroy a child's mind.
Murphy thought about it and stretched out a hand to her, "Although interfering with other people's memories is a bit unethical, just think of it as a psychological treatment."
As he said, he mobilized his magic power and began to read and adjust Miriam's memory, blurring today's experience and reducing the intensity of the emotional memory related to it, so that she would only remember some basic facts and forget most of the painful details.
Then he teleported with Miriam, who was in a coma, to a forest in Cornwall.
The cabin that had been seen before was still there, but it looked much newer, as if it had just been built.
This was where the "grandfather" that Miriam had mentioned lived.
Murphy still had a lot of things to do and couldn't take care of a child, so he thought of the grandfather who raised her in Miriam's mouth.
As soon as Murphy approached the cabin with Miriam in his arms, he heard a low shout, "Stop! This is my place, get out of here!"
Next to a big tree in the forest, there stood a hunter with long hair and beard like a wild man. The longbow in his hand had been pulled and aimed at Murphy.
"Hello, Martin."
Murphy's magic instantly penetrated the old hunter's memory and saw his whole life.
He once served the lord as a longbow soldier, but after the lord's castle was breached, he had to find another way to make a living. Later, his wife and a pair of children died of plague, and the old hunter lived a hermit-like life in the mountains.
Having watched the hunter's life, Murphy knew that the hunter was kind-hearted, and that he lived in seclusion, which could prevent Miriam's magic from causing any trouble. He was an ideal person to entrust his orphan to.
Murphy ignored the hunter's longbow and walked forward, which stimulated the hunter. Martin warned again: "Stop, or you will be hurt!"
However, Murphy did not stop. Martin frowned, adjusted the aiming position of the arrow, and shot an arrow at a tree next to Murphy.
Martin just wanted to drive people away. Even if he didn't hide, this arrow would not hurt Murphy.
But to Martin's surprise, the arrow suddenly stopped when it reached about one meter in front of Murphy, then slowly turned the arrow head, and then shot back at himself.
Martin was startled and subconsciously dodged, but the arrow had already arrived. It was suspended in front of his forehead for a moment, only two palms away. The arrow feathers were still trembling, as if they could break free from the restraints and pierce his head at any time.
Faced with this unreasonable scene, Martin rationally dropped the bow and arrow in his hand and raised his hands.
Murphy came to the hunter and handed the girl in his arms to him. The hunter took it subconsciously, but was still puzzled.
"Take good care of her." Murphy said concisely.
Martin looked at the sleeping girl in his hands, a little confused. He saw Murphy turned around and left, and wanted to chase him, but the arrow was still in front of him, so he dared not move rashly, and could only watch Murphy suddenly disappear in a twist.
At the same time, the trembling arrow also stopped, and then the tip of the arrow gradually turned into a golden color, and finally became a pure gold arrow and fell to the ground dully.
The voice of the mysterious man came from afar, "This is your reward."
Although Murphy could not directly transform other substances into gold-this involves the conversion of substances at the atomic level, and his magic control accuracy could not reach such a level. If he forced it, it would consume a lot of magic power and would not appear so casual.
But he had a fur that could produce gold regularly, and there was plenty of gold on hand. It was much easier to replace the arrow with a golden arrow through some tricks.
This arrow weighs more than a pound, which is more than enough to be used as a reward for raising a girl.
Just in case, Murphy planted a heart seed in Martin's mind, but did not activate it.
He believed that with the other party's kindness, he could naturally take good care of the girl. This heart seed was just to prevent some extreme situations.
After arranging Miriam, Murphy recited a spell, but there was no response.
Sure enough, there was no magic network coverage nearby.
Obviously, this place is not far from Camelot, and the first magic network node he set up at that time was in the Camelot Valley.
This is not surprising, because when he first appeared in Camelot City, he did not feel the existence of the magic network.
Did the gods discover the trap in the magic network and destroy it?
It seems unlikely.
And it is not difficult to confirm this. As the builder of the magic network node, Murphy left a lot of backdoors in it. He can not only access the magic network through conventional means.
Thinking of this, the magic power fluctuations around him were adjusted to an extremely high and narrow frequency, and then a directional scan was made for a week, and a direction was immediately locked.
There he connected to a magic network node.
Estimating the distance, Murphy knew where it was.
London.
