The Face Changing Warrior

Chapter 247 Miaosi's New Clothes

Early the next morning, Miaosi was still sleeping in bed, and suddenly heard a low voice in her ear: "Hey!"

She was so shocked that she suddenly opened her eyes, and instantly she squeezed out a magic ball of light in her hand and swung it out. Then she heard a familiar voice exclaim in a low voice, and then she saw a big hand catching the light with one hand. The ball, the sparkling ball of light gradually melted away in his hand, and then Miao Si saw Roddy’s familiar face smiling at herself on the bedside: "Idiot, you have always been so indifferent. Is it indiscriminately fighting?"

This time it was Miaosi's turn to exclaim, she instantly blushed, and subconsciously said "Ah", and she retracted under the snow-white bed cover, with only one pair of eyes exposed, and said angrily: "How did you run into me? Here comes the room!"

Roddy hurriedly covered her mouth and said in a low voice, "Hush! Don't make such a loud voice! Do you want others to hear it?"

Miao Si blushed, and finally stretched her head out, took a sip, and said, "You, you ran into my room so early, you...what do you want to do?" When she finished the last word, her voice almost Low and unspeakable, my heart beats wildly, watching my lover touch my room early in the morning and sit on the bedside. I don't know whether it is fear or expectation in my heart.

Roddy looked at Miaosi's shy eyes, a hint of enchantment appeared in his heart, and then he laughed in a low voice: "Okay, get up quickly. Shall we sneak out today for a walk?"

Miao Si bit her lip, a bit disappointed in her expression, and whispered: "What did you say? Go out?"

Roddy nodded, and all the changes in Miaosi's expression fell in his eyes. Roddy was startled first, and then vaguely guessed a bit of the other girl's psychology, and couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, first bowed his head, no Paying attention to Miaosi's struggle, she whispered, kissed her lips, and then said with a smile on her face: "Okay, idiot. I don't have any bad thoughts. Get up quickly, just be careful not to let people know. Let's go over the wall, okay?"

Miao Si couldn't help showing a somewhat surprised expression on her face, and whispered: "Secretly over the wall?"

Roddy smiled slightly: "Of course. The king has sent so many royal knights outside to protect us. I am afraid it means more to monitor. If you sway out and follow a group of people, what else does it mean?"

Miaosi hesitated for a while, and whispered: "Okay." She was about to get up subconsciously, but then she suddenly realized that she was still lying on the bed, under the bedclothes, she was only wearing close-fitting clothes and her face was It turned red and gave Roddy a sideways look: "You, you go out first!"

Roddy sighed, stood up and smiled bitterly: "You can't go out. I came in through the window. Should I turn out and wait for you? It's okay for me to turn around, right?" After going over, he laughed softly: "Well, you can hurry up."

Miao Si bit her lip, hate and love in her heart, and finally jumped out of the bed. He ran barefoot to one side of the hanger and took off his black gauze robe, but he suddenly moved in his heart and didn't put it on.

Roddy was standing there, hearing the sound of Miaosi dressing Xixisuo in his ears. Although he pretended to be calm, his heart jumped wildly. He sneaked into Mya's room early in the morning, and had absolutely no other thoughts. It's just that I'm really standing here at the moment, thinking of Miaosi changing clothes behind her, and she can't help but think of several fragrant pictures in her mind. He was originally a young man, and behind him was his affectionate lover. Besides, after having a good relationship with Nicole, he is no longer the silly boy who used to be ignorant of men and women, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit of sweetness in his heart.

She was struggling with the heavens in her mind, and she heard Miaosi whispering behind her: "Alright, you can turn around."

Roddy turned around and looked at Miaosi who was smiling at him cleverly, her eyes lit up and she was dumbfounded.

Miaosi's dress at the moment was not her usual black gauze robe. At the moment, she was wearing a simple girlish linen dress, with folds embroidered on the corners of the skirt, which made it even more cute and cute. And her long black satin-like hair was gently and skillfully tied with a rope behind her head, adding the shy joy in her eyes at the moment, and the two blushes on her face, where is there What did the glamorous "black veil saint" look like in the past? It's obviously a beautiful girl who is dating her lover for the first time.

Roddy looked at Miaosi infatuatedly, she couldn't speak for a while, Miaosi smiled slightly: "What's the matter? Isn't it pretty?"

Roddy took a deep breath and honestly said: "Good-looking!" After a pause, he added: "It's so good-looking, I can't think you look so good-looking without black gauze... Where do you come from? of?"

Miaosi's smile was somewhat cunning: "I found it in the palace here. I wanted to keep it for Set, but I will wear it once today."

The two looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't know that someone who was sleeping in a certain room at this moment sneezed fiercely.

Roddy and Miao Si are the domain powerhouses and the black yarn saints. The two sneaked out, naturally no royal knight noticed it, and Roddy even let Miaosi wait outside, but he ran into the stables of the royal knights and stole two horses.

Miaosi watched from a distance as Roddy was holding two horses lightly and running towards her while waving, she couldn't help covering her mouth with a smile: "You actually ran to be a horse thief again."

Roddy approached, hugged Miaosi and put on a horse, and then turned on to another horse, and then laughed in a low voice: "I have only been a horse thief twice in my life, twice. It's all for you."

Miao Si was stunned, and immediately remembered that the two had fallen into trouble on the grasslands of the Great Moon Kingdom, and Roddy ran into the herdsmen tribe in the middle of the night to steal horses. Thinking of the days when the two were dependent on each other in the vast grassland, they couldn't help but feel sweet in their hearts, and the gentle expression on their faces revealed.

The two of them had a heart-to-heart friendship and didn't talk much, so they rode straight across the Wangdu Street in the morning. Although there are few pedestrians along the way, seeing the two horses, the young man on the horse is burly in Chinese clothes, and the woman is young and beautiful. I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart. The horse looked like a royal horse at a glance. I'm afraid it's a royal aristocratic young couple traveling early in the morning.

The two walked slowly all the way. Although this King Sauron was built not to be as majestic as the Emperor Capital of the Light Empire, the architectural style of the Sauron Palace was also very unique. Almost all the buildings are showing a rough and heroic atmosphere, without any unnecessary flashy decorations. Even some aristocratic buildings are just "tall", and they don't have the exquisite and exquisite buildings like the Guangming Empire. Roddy walked all the way but suddenly sighed, thinking that it was here that the Shaka civilization that had been obliterated by history a thousand years ago might have long since disappeared. There are many pedestrians on this street. Who knows that the land on which he stands was once a civilized empire that advertises freedom and equality?

Although Roddy didn't know the way, Miaosi had been in Sauron for a long time and was familiar with it. It’s just that, once a holy person in the temple, where is the opportunity to dress up as an ordinary girl and hang out on the street? Looking at the shops and pedestrians around me now, I always feel that everything is so novel and interesting. The expression on her face was like joy, I am afraid that anyone who saw her at this moment would never think that this girl is a saint in the temple with a powerful magic! !

Seeing Miaosi's charming face, Roddy's heart moved and took a handful of unknown flowers from the florist on the side of the road. Just put on a set of pockets, but showed a somewhat awkward expression.

After he came to Sauron's capital, the king provided him with food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and there was really no gold coins commonly used in the Roland continent around him. After thinking about it, he squeezed a few gold coins of the Bright Empire from his arms, squeezed the gold coins into a golden lump with his fingers in his pockets, and handed them over.

Where has that merchant ever seen such a magnanimous person? Even though this is the royal capital of the Sauron Kingdom and the gathering place of countless rich and nobles, I have never seen anyone throw a piece of gold at random after selling a bunch of flowers.

Roddy didn't care, dropped the gold, and turned away. Put the bunch of flowers into Miaosi's hand and whispered: "Take it."

Miaosi's face flushed slightly, and she chuckled in a low voice, "Unexpectedly you would still do this."

Roddy seemed a little embarrassed, but still whispered: "I've never sent flowers to girls, this is the first time."

Miaosi looked at the bouquet of flowers in her hand and sighed, "It's a pity, it's a pity that you didn't give me tulips. Tulips are not produced in the south of the Roland mainland, so I'm afraid there are none here."

After a smile, Miao Si asked with a smile again: "Rody, do you know what flower you gave me?"

Seeing Roddy's blank gaze, Miaosi pursed her mouth and smiled, let go of the rein, gently handed Roddy's arm, and whispered: "This flower is a specialty of the Kingdom of Sauron, and its name is'Bloodman Tuo'."

"Oh? I've never heard of this name." Roddy was slightly surprised: "It's just such a beautiful flower. Why do you add the miserable name of "blood" to the name?"

Miaosi smiled faintly, and when she saw the newborn Asahi in the sky one day, the expression on her face seemed a little sad: "The name of this flower has a history. Legend has it that there was a hero in the Roland Continent. He went out during a war. Frontline. Before leaving, he promised that his lover would come back alive. Unfortunately, after the war year after year, the woman waiting at home had no news of her lover at all. Finally, one day, after the victory of the war, the hero triumphed Home. But the lover who was waiting at home died of illness because of the waiting day and night and the fear in his heart. The hero knelt before the lover's grave and shed tears. His tears fell on the ground and immediately grew from the ground. Out of this beautiful flower..."

Having said this, Mya sighed: "So, this flower has another name, called "Heroic Tears"."

Roddy took a deep breath and smiled bitterly: "This story is very beautiful, but unfortunately I have never heard of it. Otherwise, I would not buy such a tragic flower for you."

"No!" Miao Si smiled sweetly, and whispered: "You send me flowers, I... I am very happy in my heart."

Roddy smiled slightly and couldn't help but gently hold Miaosi's hand. Miaosi smiled and suddenly said: "I told you such a nice story, you have to tell me one too. ."

Roddy was stunned for a moment, and smiled bitterly: "I can't tell stories..."

Miaosi smiled: "How is it possible? Didn't you hear any stories when you were young?"

"When I was young..." Roddy seemed stunned for a moment.

At this moment, the two of them have unknowingly walked to a square in the capital city. It is now in the morning, and the square that was originally lively during the day seems a bit cold. Roddy put the horse aside casually, took Miaosi and stood by the square, found a stone step and sat down.

There was silence for a while, and Roddy sighed: "When I was young, there was nothing to say. It's very simple..." He pointed to the crowd on the street: "It's the same as them."

Miaosi pulled Roddy's clothes corner and said softly: "No, I want to hear it!"

Roddy was out of sight for a while, and then slowly said: "I...I haven't seen my mother since I was a child... Well, maybe I have seen it, but it was too young at the time, and now I can't remember it at all. My My father is a samurai, a very low-level samurai. There is no money in the family. My father usually relies on occasional bodyguards or thugs to make money for some wealthy people. Because his swordsmanship is not good, just a low-level. A first-class samurai, so I can’t make much money."

After sighing, Roddy seemed to smile: "Later, my father took me to the Imperial City. Because he hoped to make more money there. Since I was a child, my father hoped that I would become a swordsman with strong swordsmanship in the future. I was young. When I was very young, I practiced swordsmanship with my father. Although I think back now that my father's swordsmanship was not good, when I was young, I admired him very much. I always felt that my father was very good. So when I practiced it was very good. Work hard, hoping to become as good as my father in the future."

Miaosi sighed slightly, then smiled softly, and slowly leaned her head on Roddy's shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "You are already very powerful now. Strong in the field, better than you in this world I'm afraid I won't be able to find any powerful people."

When Roddy heard this, he immediately remembered the fat man Tianlie who was far away in the imperial capital. Although he is also a domain powerhouse, Tianlie has been in the domain for many years, and he is far better than himself in terms of strength and understanding. Right. Then another figure flashed through Roddy's mind unstoppably.

That is Pope Corsica VI!

In the turmoil in the palace, the power of the "descension" that Pope Corsica VI displayed is now vividly remembered. Even Mr. Qiu, who has reached the realm level, can't resist the pope's attack from the Pope's "descension technique"...Then really fight, I am afraid that he is not the pope's opponent.

What a clever woman Miaosi was. Seeing Roddy's attitude was different, she immediately guessed that she might have caused Roddy's bad thoughts. Then she immediately smiled and turned the topic away: "Then, what happened later?" "

"Later?" Roddy's smile was a bit bitter: "Later, my father was unhappy in the imperial capital. The emperor was the center of the empire, and there were hundreds of powerful warriors. My father's swordsmanship might be better in a small place like our hometown. Earning a little money, but in the imperial capital where the masters are like clouds, it doesn’t matter. Therefore, our lives have been very difficult."

Although his tone was plain, Miao Si still heard a bit of unease in Roddy's voice. A samurai with no source of livelihood, with a young child, struggling at the bottom of society in the imperial capital. Although Miao Si could not understand, she held Roddy’s hand, but it was obvious. Feeling that Roddy's fingers seemed to tremble slightly just now.

She immediately squeezed Roddy's hand tightly, and said softly: "Your father will be very proud of your current achievements."

Roddy sighed: "I hope so..." He suddenly turned his head and glanced at Miao Si: "Do you know? My father used to be a devout believer!"

"Oh?" Miao Si couldn't help being a little strange.

Since getting acquainted with Roddy, Roddy's attitude towards the religion has always been insignificant, even "great rebellion". Almost everything he does is inseparable from the "blasphemy" god. Such a person actually came from a family of devout believers?

"Yes!" Roddy continued in a low voice, but his voice seemed to be a little trembling: "Father would definitely go to religious prayers every few days. Although the life at home was not very good, he would still be left. A little money to pay the so-called'redemption tax', hoping to exchange for the blessing of the gods. It is a pity... the gods never seem to have received the prayers of the father."

Miao Si was already a little regretful for citing Roddy to talk about this. She ignored the gazes of the people around her, wrapped her hands around Roddy's neck, and said softly: "Well, those...those have passed after all."

Roddy shook his head: "My father died when I was fourteen. He was a very kind and loyal man. He had never committed any crime in his life and was generous. Before he died, we had no money to treat him. He could only I went to religion and asked the priest to give myself some holy water to save myself. But... hum. Did you know? In the religious religion, holy water is bought with money!! Even though my father once believed in the religious religiously and paid 'Atonement tax', but when he needed it, the gods did not open his arms to him!"

"So... so you don't believe in the religion." Miao Si sighed.

"I don't believe it." Roddy said lightly: "I have never believed in any religious religion, and even despise the priests of the religious religion! Humph... They wear robes made of exquisite fabrics, live in large spacious houses and eat exquisite food. Food. Then he said to those struggling and suffering: You have to endure pain, because this is the destiny set by God!"

Miaosi was silent-although Roddy's voice was not loud, she had heard a trace of deep hatred from Roddy's words.

Roddy let out a long sigh, and suddenly smiled: "I'm really stupid, what am I doing to tell you about this... Well, today I just want to be quiet with you for a while. But I messed up the atmosphere again. ."

"No." Miaosi's voice seemed to be a little distant, and she whispered in Roddy's ear: "I want to listen."

Roddy smiled, kissed Mousse gently on the cheek, and whispered: "Okay, then I will continue to tell you."

After clearing his throat, Roddy continued: "After the age of fourteen, my father died, and I was the only one left. My father didn’t have many possessions, only a sword, a broken house, and a mouthful. Camphor wood box. After I sold everything, I only got four gold coins. According to my father’s hope, I thought of a way to go to the Imperial Academy. I want to be a samurai! A swordsman! Because that’s my father. Expectations of me. I’m very lucky. My father taught me to practice swordsmanship since I was a child. Although the things my father taught me were not advanced, it laid a good foundation for me. And I... Well, the teacher at Imperial College said I was very good. Talent. So I successfully passed the assessment and then taught all four gold coins for tuition and became a civilian student."

Having said this, Miao Si suddenly whispered: "But, how can you survive without money?"

Roddy smiled slightly, and his smile was quite triumphant: "Thank you to Dandong, the great sage of our Bright Empire. When he was the president of the Imperial Academy, he laid down the rules. Our civilian students can live in a house provided by the Academy, even though the house is broken. Some, but in my opinion it is already very good. As for the question of eating... Hey, I have another way."

Having said this, the haze on Roddy's face finally disappeared, and his smile was a little proud and proud: "You know? Our Bright Empire is rich in a kind of fish! The name is'pufferfish'. That kind of fish has a big body and a small tail. It is colorful and looks very beautiful. But no one dares to eat this kind of fish, because'pufferfish' is poisonous! People who eat it will be poisoned!" After a pause, Roddy said proudly, "Even the bravest People, I dare to eat puffer fish that people dare not eat!"

"What?" Miao Si changed her color slightly. Although Roddy was right in front of him at the moment, the poisonous name of "pufferfish" had also been heard by Miaosi. At that time, a young boy dared to eat the kind of poison that everyone talked about discoloration!

Roddy smiled slightly, seemingly proud: "Others don't know, but I know. When I was very young, I knew that puffer fish is actually edible, but it takes more time to cook! Only cooking for a long time Afterwards, the puffer fish’s toxicity will disappear, and you can eat it at that time!” Roddy continued with a low smile, “Because I know this secret, I rarely go hungry. There are many such puffer fish in the rivers around the Imperial Capital. If others dare not eat, I dare to eat, and no one has robbed me, let alone spend money. It’s just that after others know about me, they treat me as a monster... But it doesn’t matter. I grew up ugly. A big birthmark is used to being regarded as a monster."

Miao Si didn't laugh, faintly, she seemed to see such a picture: an ugly teenager fishing alone by the river, and then eating the legendary poison that can kill people in the eyes of everyone disgusting terror. under……

She looked at the strong man in front of her idiotically, tears streaming out of her eyes. Miaosi was selected by the temple since she was a child, and after entering the temple, she emerged as a key disciple. When I wanted to come to the Northwest, I was terrified, but the man by his side at that time always took care of himself in a calm and unchanging appearance. Perhaps it was related to the hardships he had endured since childhood.

Roddy shook Miaosi's hand gently, and whispered: "Well...Although the puffer fish is delicious, but after all it is very poisonous, I can't always go on smoothly. Finally one day, I still get poisoned. But fortunately, I had a good friend at the time, his name was Star." Roddy sighed: "He is a very good man, he has no money himself, but he is a warlock. He was from the academy. The holy water stolen from the warlock teacher rescued me, but I was punished by the teacher. Now I think about it, when he was in the academy, he was my only friend. It's a pity that he is still in the academy now, oh, wait He graduated, and I must repay him well. Now, I don’t want to find him. Because I now find that it is a kind of happiness to have that kind of peaceful life."

Speaking of this, Roddy smiled bitterly: "For example, I now hold a lot of power and are eye-catching, but I am always burdened with one trouble after another. Sometimes, I wish I could return to the Imperial College to be a mere The little samurai you don’t care about."

"Rody...you..." Miao Si finally realized something was wrong.

Roddy suddenly brought herself out early this morning, and Miaosi felt a little weird. And today, Roddy's words and deeds seem to be a bit weird, which intensifies the strangeness in Miaosi's heart. She is almost instinctive, and vaguely aware of something wrong.

Roddy shook his head and motioned to Mya Si not to speak. He stretched out his hand to gently hold Miaosi’s face, and then stroked the messy hair around her ears, and suddenly said: "Miaosi, I still remember when I was in the northwest grassland, you told me about those who are strong in the field. Words... You said that domain experts are the highest realm that humans can reach, but they are close to the existence of gods, right?"

Miao Si was startled: "Yes, this...what's wrong with this?"

Roddy's eyes were a little confused: "So, how long can the domain experts live, do you know?"

Miao Si was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "I don't know, because the domain power only exists in the legend! Even if I am myself, although I have entered the realm of the great practitioner, it is nominally the distance'domain' It's only a step away, but I understand that the distance of this step is actually a gap! In Roland's history, there are not many people who have reached the level of cultivation, but I have not heard of those who have reached the domain level. Pass one. Even if there is, it just exists in the legend."

Roddy smiled faintly: "I know this question! Because I happen to know a strong man in the field who has lived for hundreds of years!"

"Oh?" Miao Si couldn't help but exclaimed.

Roddy's ability to reach the domain level is already a miracle in Mya's eyes. Things that only exist in the legend have happened before her eyes, which has made Miaosi feel incredible, but Roddy actually said that he knows another domain powerhouse! So in other words, in the contemporary era, there are actually strong players in two fields? ?

Roddy nodded, and then said about Fatty Tianlie again, and finally he smiled: "If I didn't guess wrong, this fat guy must be the paladin who defected from the Temple of Roland hundreds of years ago!"

"Tianlie..." The shock in Miaosi's eyes was beyond compare. She seemed to be able to suppress the shock in her heart, and instinctively swallowed her saliva: "Master Tianlie Paladin... is he still alive?"

Roddy held back a smile: "I'm alive, and I can say that I'm alive and well."

Miaosi could not say a word for a long time-immortality, such a miracle, even for a person like Miaosi who had already stood at the top of the magician's strength, it was unimaginable.

Suddenly, Miao Si thought of an important question: "You mean, can the strong in the field be immortal?"

Roddy sighed, Miao Si deserves to be Miao Si, and immediately grasped the key to the problem.

He nodded: "Yes, if I am not wrong, as long as you reach the domain strong, you can break through the rules of this world! Including the rules of life!"

He suddenly looked up at the sky, with white clouds and the sun shining brightly in the sky. There is a haze on Roddy’s face: "I’m surprised that even if it’s a legend, there must have been some domain powers in history! If domain powers can break through the limits of life and live forever... Then... …" He turned his head and looked at Miaosi, with a question in his eyes: "Then why are there no ancient domain experts in the world today? Where are those ancient domain experts? Are they all dead?? "

Miao Si thought for a while and shook her head: "It shouldn't be. As a domain expert, who else can kill them? And if they themselves can live forever, then naturally it won't be because of their natural death at the end of their life."

"This is the question I thought about all night last night." Roddy smiled bitterly: "Where are those domain experts?"

There was a strong unease in Miao Si's heart-although there was no sign or evidence, she suddenly had a panic in her heart, as if Roddy next to him would suddenly leave her when she lost.

She hugged Roddy's arm almost subconsciously.

Roddy was stunned for a moment, and gently backhanded the host to Miao Si, muttering a word to himself.

"The realm is the road to heaven..."

As if to confirm the unease in Miaosi's heart, Roddy suddenly looked at Miaosi's eyes and gently asked a question: "Miaosi...I ask you, have you thought that we will be apart one day? "

"What did you say?" Miao Si suddenly changed her color.

Roddy shook his head, looked at the horrified expression on Miaosi's face, softened in his heart, leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, and said softly: "Don't be like this, I just have some doubts in my heart, I can't help thinking of this Question." He sighed, his tone was very calm: "Do you know? I thought about a lot of things last night, and the more I think about it, the more I feel terrible... Humph, domain powerhouse, what a proud name! But why is it? Have all the powerful people in history who have reached the realm of the domain disappeared without exception? Humph, Tian Lie...If the fat man Tian Lie had not hid in the deep mountain that sealed the magic dragon cave, it might not be necessary. Can you avoid it...what is the meaning of the realm?"

She seemed to feel the trembling in her arms. Roddy hugged her a little bit tightly and sighed in a low voice: "Miaosi, I can only talk to you about the many doubts in my heart now. I don't know except you. Besides, who can I tell here...I...I have a very absurd idea. Perhaps according to this absurd idea, I can explain my question just now...Where are those domain experts?"

"Ok?"

Roddy’s expression had a bitter smile on his face: "Have you ever seen a farmer raise pigs? A farmer will raise a lot of pigs, and then use fodder to fatten and grow the pigs. After a period of time, there are always There will be one or two pigs that are particularly strong and fat! Then...hehe...the fatter the pig, the faster you will get the knife." After a pause, Roddy smiled. The smile was a bit mocking: "I'm wondering whether the domain strong will be like I said... The so-called domain strong and ordinary humans are just the stronger and fatter pigs! The farmer who raises pigs..." He raised his head and pointed to the sky: "It's the people in the sky."

"No!!" Miaosi suddenly screamed in exclamation, her face changed drastically, and she took Roddy's hand and whispered: "You...what are you telling me today? You brought me out for peace Did I say this?!" A trace of anger flashed in her eyes.

Roddy shook his head, his eyes were soft as water, he put Mya in his arms, and whispered: "No! I didn't mean to leave you, Mya... In fact, I am more afraid of separation than you! But these Things, but don't let me think about it."

"I...I don't want to hear you say these terrible guesses!" Mya Si bit her lip.

Roddy was moved, and suddenly said: "Well, even if you don't mention what I just said... But do you remember, the domain powerhouse has an immortal life, but you don't...in the future...well..."

Miao Si suddenly broke free from Rody’s embrace, looked at Roddy solemnly, with a somewhat determined look on her face, and then she lightly lifted her lips and said: “Even if it’s a meteor, it’s destruction after burning, but that The brilliant moment is already happiness!"

The beautiful female magician leaned over, kissed Roddy's lips, then smiled softly, and whispered: "If love is poison, you and I are each other's pufferfish!!"

On this sunny morning, on the square of the Royal Capital of Sauron on the Roland Continent, a pair of young men and women embraced and kissed...
