Chapter 23 - Crisis
…………
The opponent is more cunning than before. Not only does Gray want to defeat with magic, he also wants Nathanos to have nowhere to escape.
"My father told me that the most important thing is dignity, and that the guys who hurt our dignity must pay the price."
"Is it your dignity? Or your vanity?"
Nathanos's words made Gray angry and roared: "Shut up!" The fireball in his hand became even hotter because of his anger.
…………
‘It’s too good to be able to explain the magic of the mage, it’s too good to be beaten. The time for the magic of the magic of the mage is backed by one second.’
‘Is this not normal? Once I inexplicably led three monsters and couldn’t release a skill even if I was beaten to death.’
…………
"You better not move." Grey shouted, and he knew that he was thinking about how to escape when he saw Nathanos was dazed. He would not give Nathanos another chance. "Burn him!"
Hearing the order, several children released the fireball at Nathanos at the same time. Gray aimed at the snow under Nathanos' feet and threw the fireball over. The fireballs in the hands of the other two children also flew in the same direction. Nathanos did not hide or block his face with fear. He was not sure whether Gray wanted to scare him or come true. But Nathanos now understood one thing. The person in front of him who was the same age was the opponent he had created for himself by himself. Gray's fireball did not hit him, and there was no other fireball, but in the end
One flew towards his chest. At this moment, Nathanos clearly felt that his life was threatened, and a hint of fear and panic arose in his heart. His brain rotated rapidly, and he thought about a lot of things in a flash and had nothing to do with the current situation. He found that he was like everyone else, after all, just an ordinary person. He didn't have time to react, just like Gray's last time, and there was no way to face the attack. His hands were completely subconsciously resisted, but he was still pushed off the cliff by the impact. Finally, he saw the horror on Gray's face, just like the other children.
"What did you do!" Grey looked at the child who knocked Nathanos off the cliff with a pale face. The other party stared at everything without blood. He had no experience in manipulating magic, so that in the end the fireball technique flew forward randomly. Grey knocked him to the ground with a punch, and undoubtedly caused a big disaster. Grey originally wanted to teach Nathanos a lesson, not to really kill anyone. He just wanted to scare Nathanos and kneel down to pray for forgiveness, but now everything is too far away from the plan. Grey hurried to the edge of the cliff. Nathanos's shouting was drowned in the cold wind, and the bottom was bottomless. More importantly, he could not see Nathanos. He had been swallowed by the abyss. A voice in Grey told him what to do, this question completely occupied his head.
According to Lordaeron's law, he will be severely punished, regardless of whether he is a child or not, and his family will be implicated. Concealed! Gray seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Yes, hide it." He stood up from the snow excitedly and spoke out his thoughts loudly, his followers looked at him in surprise.
"As long as we hide the truth, just tell others, tell them that Nathanos fell off the cliff by himself, just tell others that we just saw it, not that we let him fall." Gray looked at his panicked accomplice with a convulsion, shouting, "Didn't you hear me?" He kicked a child who was crying with anger.
“We should tell others the truth.”
"Idiot, do you think we will be forgiven?" Grey slapped him in the face. "We will be in jail, and with the rat, we will be inmates. Do you want to be inmates?"
The other party shook his head and stopped the crying in his mouth, otherwise Gray would have taught him a lesson at any time. Other children also gradually recovered from their horror, pretended to be calm, and stopped crying.
"I'll explain all this later. Shut up and don't make a sound." Gray breathed nervously. After he said that, he looked at the cliff again. He was sure that Nathanos was dead and now he was crushed to pieces. They forgot to clear the traces, but the scattered snow floating in the sky helped them, leaving only the dead wood branches falling from Nathanos's hand on the edge of the cliff.
In the early morning of the next day, on the road leading from Lordaeron to Ultratown, many cavalrymen crossed here. Uther was leading them. It was already snowing heavily in the sky, but it could not extinguish his anger. After receiving Kana's urgent letter, he came to the camp of the tour team before he could even ask for instructions. Kana and Kathus were comforting the frightened child. Leren never believed that Nathanos would fall off the cliff. He repeatedly yelled that it must have been Grey because he was with Nathanos, but the other party refused to admit it. The two almost fought. Moreover, because the other children were frightened, Kana shook her head desperately no matter what she asked, and said with sweat on her forehead: "I don't know anything."
Kesius went to check the cliff and found only the firewood that Nathanos lost in the snow. He also suspected Gray, but he did not believe that the conflict between the two children could rise to a solution with life and death.
Uther came to everyone, his serious expression calmed everyone down, and the ignited firewood on the ground made his eyes shine brightly.
"Where are the Nathanos? Have you found it?" he asked, but no one answered. Gray dared not look up at him. Uther's eyes could tell immediately that he was lying. Kana's face was already pale with concern and panic. She and Kathus looked at him with great ashamed. The person was not found, and Nathanos might have been gone, but no one dared to say this.
"Nathanos fell off the cliff, I don't believe it, it must have been done by Grey," yelled Leren.
"You, you're talking nonsense!"
Uther nodded angrily, staring at Kana and Kathus, as well as Grey and the children who witnessed the "truth".
"Adminton!" Uther shouted.
"I'm here, sir."
"Take these children back, and take care of them." Uther ordered, and then ordered the three soldiers who brought him: "Go and rescue the child immediately, be sure to find him, search along the cliff, and find the way to the bottom of the cliff."
