Archie is tidying up the lab after Berthian left.

Sitting opposite him was the devil boy they used for the 'antibody' test.The devil boy opened a pair of curious eyes, watching the mage apprentice busy in the laboratory building, he took a bite of the raw meat from time to time, while Archie was busy cleaning up the mess left by Berthian.

Bossian took almost nothing. He said he was going to look for Searle, and he even put down the laboratory.Archie still can't figure out why Perthian was so determined to stop the experiment that day, no matter how hard he tried to persuade him, he didn't change his mind.

"Here... well, it's almost packed."

After tidying up the laboratory, Archie sat in the empty room in a daze.Back then, when they discovered that some demons might carry "antibodies" and these antibodies could overcome their "addiction to magic", they cheered happily, as if a bright road was suddenly unfolding in front of them.But now that the building is empty, everything looks bleak.

Archie sat in the empty laboratory and muttered to himself, "It would be great if we could develop 'antibodies', now there are out-of-control demons outside, normal people who are bitten by them will either die or be infected as well Become a demon. If we can successfully develop the 'antibody', we will have to hide in the city."

The devil boy couldn't understand what he was saying, but just took another bite of the raw meat in his hand.Archie heard the sound and looked at him again.

"It's really not possible, we can also research some method, at least let other demons be as quiet as you, and won't go out to bite people casually. Huh? By the way, why didn't I think of this!"

He stepped forward and grabbed the devil boy's arm, shaking it excitedly.

"Bite? Yes, it is bite! Since 'magic addiction' can be transmitted through biting, why can't 'antibody' be transmitted through the same way?" He looked at the devil boy enthusiastically, "The person who was bitten by you , will it also have an 'antibody', will it go crazy like other demons?"

"Why didn't I think of this, why didn't I think of this?" Archie said to himself, "What a simple method, we will know the result once we try it. But now, where can we find an experimental subject for you to take a bite of? ?”

Click.

Archie felt a dull pain in his arm.

He looked down and saw the devil boy biting his wrist and glaring dissatisfiedly.The boy hadn't fully recovered his sanity as a human being, and was more like a little wild dog, and Archie, who disturbed the puppy's meal, was naturally bitten.

"Okay." Archie withdrew his hand, pulled up his sleeves, and carefully looked at the bite marks on his arm that were gradually oozing blood. "At least now, I don't have to worry about where to find the experimental subject."

……

"He locked himself in the lab?"

When Polis heard the news, he looked at the old man sitting opposite him.

"Aren't you going to take a look?"

As the most powerful mage in the battle line, Archmage Bailey has a lot of busy tasks every day. At this time, when he heard Polis' question, he just raised his head from his affairs and said indifferently: "This day It's only a few days, let him stay."

Polis raised his eyebrows, "It sounds like you're complaining that I shouldn't have sent him to the front."

Archmage Bailey finally stopped writing.

"I should complain. That is my only grandson, and you are trying to send him to a dangerous battlefield." The old man sighed, "But I can't complain. I know that even if I let him hide behind me like a coward, As long as we lose, sooner or later he will face the same end."

"You are very sensible." Polis praised, and he glanced at the letter he had just received, "But it is too early to predict our defeat."

The old mage looked up at him, then at the envelope in his hand.

"Unless you have some other good news."

"Yes." Polis flicked the paper with his fingers. "An unexpected ally. That's good news."

The alliance between Dui and Sarandir was more surprising than any news, but it seemed to be expected.After all, in the face of the crazy evil god who will destroy the world at any time, any hatred seems to be less important.With these two important figures as examples, the remaining forces in various places formed alliances and came to seek refuge.It can be said that joining the 'Sarandir-Dui Front' is the only way people can see to survive at present.People made a last-ditch effort to control the magic addiction in various places to the minimum, and their ultimate goal——is the Eastern Abyss.

During this period of time, Searle has been busy clearing up demons everywhere, but Red still refuses to talk to him, and Bossian is still nowhere to be seen.Regarding this point, Searle was particularly anxious, but there was nothing he could do.The mage disappeared on the way to find him. In Du Yi's words, he was probably taken away by the evil god.

"Unless you go directly to its base camp, there is still a slight chance of finding him." Du Yi said, "However, I advise you not to have expectations."

At the same time, due to various reasons, the research on "antibodies" was delayed, but Du Yi did not tear up their covenant.

Before I solve the maddened evil god, I can temporarily suspend the assessment of your plan.That's what Dui said.Du Yi's keeping the promise may be able to comfort Searle's impetuous mood a little.They continued eastward, bringing troops composed of humans, dwarves, orcs, and elves to the forefront of the eastern abyss—the place where Estes, Brian and the others disappeared.

When Searle came back here again, he walked up to the top of the mountain with a long sword on his back, overlooking the ruined village in the distance, and suddenly had a question.

"At that time, why did you kill all the demonized people in the village of the beginning?"

Du Yi has been inseparable from him recently, and he didn't even frown when he heard this question.

"I didn't know at that time that there would be other ways to get me free. The devil is its pawn, and exorcising the devil will allow me to get more pieces of my own." As he said, a smile appeared on the corner of Dui's mouth. With a sarcastic smile, "But neither I nor it knew at that time that these demons turned out to be our hope for freedom in the end."

Searle became quiet, and he remembered a name that he hadn't thought of for a long time-Eli.As the god of the gods and the founder of the world, did he realize that these demons with reason and emotions in the village of the beginning would have become the spark that would change the world?Or he knew it, but chose to let Du Yi and Evil God suffer on their own, destroying the hope of saving them with his own hands.

Searle didn't dare to think about it.

However, at this time, in a corner that no one knew, someone erupted into a carnival cry.

"Successful!" Archie looked into the mirror and carefully looked at the gradually fading lines on his face. "My 'magic addiction' symptoms have all subsided, but I am still me! The 'antibody' injection was successful!"

He hugged the devil boy excitedly, and enthusiastically nibbled on the other's face several times.But immediately, he fell into the next question.

"Did the blood play a role? Or saliva, no, I have to study it carefully."

After collecting several bottles of blood and bodily fluids of himself and the devil boy, Archie fell into deep thought again.He has long understood that it is not difficult to think of this method, it is just a blind spot in thinking.Since he could think of it, Bossian should have thought of it long ago!

Why didn't Berthian conduct the experiment?Why didn't Berthian even tell anyone about the idea?

Reminiscent of Bethien's tough attitude towards terminating the experiment, Archie discovers that his teacher may still hide many secrets that he doesn't know.

"Forget it, I'll go and tell my grandfather the good news first!" He put down the reagent bottle in his hand, picked up the magic lamp on the table, and was about to leave the laboratory.

"what?"

He stopped suddenly, because the mage apprentice suddenly discovered that the magic lamp he held in his hand was not lit by the magic power in his body like countless times before.Looking at the quiet and motionless magic lamp in his hand, a word suddenly broke into Archie's mind - lack of magic power.

The mage apprentice understands that from now on, he will never be able to use spells, and he will never be a true mage again.Even Archie, who never wanted to be a mage, lost his mind for a while when he first discovered this fact.

But after a while, he didn't care anymore.

Between staying alive and using spells, who would choose the latter?And when everyone around you is injected with "antibodies", and everyone can no longer use magic power, then "lack of magic power" will not be a reason for a person to be discriminated against.

He even thought with peace of mind, now I finally have an excuse not to inherit my grandfather's mantle!

Archie hummed a tune, turned and pushed the door open.

At the door, a smiling face was waiting for him early.

"Long time no see, Archie Bailey."
