Water and Fire Twins Magician

Chapter 8 The Lord's Son

Next, Gandalf wanted Jacques to explain their current situation:

Jacques was reborn from the body of a murdered baby, apparently without his mother's knowledge.

Now that he had been brought back to his village, he would face the suspicion of those who knew he was dead, especially the one, or even the group, who had killed him.

Jacques stiffened and broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary worker who grew up in an ordinary family. How could he have experienced the plot in such a novel?

"Relax, how can a baby who has just turned one month old frown as much as you do?" Gandalf said, "Don't think too much, and don't be shy, just let go and do as I say. Cry if you are asked to, make a fuss if you are asked to, and don't arouse unnecessary suspicion. I believe that our people will have enough time to complete what they need to do."

A tall and thin young woman was walking through the dark forest, holding her baby son.

It’s a long road.

The person in his arms is our protagonist Jacques. At this moment, after hearing Gandalf's words, he is like a frightened bird. To him, this dense forest is full of fear and every tree and grass is an enemy.

The murderer could kill even a baby, and now the only one protecting him is a young woman who seems to be powerless. He is walking on the street so openly. If he encounters the murderer, won’t he be killed?

"Ah, you really can't keep things to yourself. I can't imagine how you survived in your previous life." Gandalf sighed and continued, "I didn't want to tell you, but I told you to make you feel more at ease. You just walked along that road, and in just a few minutes, you have encountered at least three ambushes."

Jacques felt his heart skip a beat. You call this reassuring?

Gandalf continued, "And about a few hundred meters ahead, there are the last two groups of people lying in ambush."

Jacques nearly fainted.

"Hear me out." Gandalf said slowly, "The good news is that as long as we deal with those two groups of people, we will be safe. Because they are about to return to the town, they dare not make any big moves, otherwise it will easily expose their true identities."

Seeing that Jacques's expression was still tense, Gandalf laughed and said, "Think about it calmly. If the ambush is successful, can we still get here?"

Jacques suddenly realized.

In other words, someone is protecting us in secret?

Seeing that his expression had eased a little, Gandalf continued, "Richard and Paul have done a lot of ambushes and assassinations. How could they not think that someone is thinking about us? Don't worry, there is probably no one in the entire Love Continent who can successfully launch a sneak attack under the noses of the two of them."

After hearing what Gandalf said, Jacques finally felt relieved. At the same time, he was filled with hatred: "You old man, you are making fun of me. Why don't you explain it earlier? I will scare the shit out of you one day!"

"Hey, there's an ambush point ahead. Hmm... they're all trash, but the target is just civilians, so this is enough."

The woman holding the baby walked calmly past the ambush point and nothing happened.

Although there was some noise in the bushes, she was unable to notice it as she was only focused on bringing her son home as soon as possible.

But Jacques in her arms saw it clearly!

Ever since he took over this body, he found that his five senses were several times more sensitive than before.

He could hear the sounds of the sleeves of those unqualified assassins rubbing against the leaves. Even in his hurried mother's arms, he could clearly see the surrounding scenery, including the sight of the ambushers being killed in the bushes by two high-speed moving figures, one red and one black.

This baby's physical fitness seems to be extraordinary.

The crisis was over, and the woman walked for a few more minutes. Jacques, who was relieved, suddenly felt as if he had passed through a thin film.

And deep in his soul, he had a vague sense of rejection and uneasiness towards this film and the space within it.

"This is normal. You are the inheritor of the Skyfire, and the body you possessed is also pure fire. You will definitely feel uncomfortable being enveloped by the water barrier." Gandalf said slowly: "Fate is really playing tricks on us. Why does the inheritor of the Skyfire have to grow up under the wings of the Water Goddess?"

Back in the main city of Marsala Ridge, the identity of the woman holding Jacques was revealed.

Her name was Beruni, and she was one of the seventeen concubines of Lord "Tutu Masala", and seemed to be his favorite.

Being the most favored by the lord also means that she is the most hostile to other concubines in the harem.

Therefore, when Beruni returned to the lord's estate, only two concubines with whom she had a good relationship came to greet and comfort her.

So Gandalf reasoned that there must be someone among these dozen concubines that they should keep an eye on. After all, who else could steal the lord's newborn son from the lord's manor?
