Job hunting in another world [Western Fantasy]

"Why do you say that?" Julian asked.

Noah was not in a hurry to answer their doubts, but still stood there and looked around the entire space. This place is obviously a basement. On the surface, there is nothing else except this corpse.But Noah can see that there are some lines on the ground. Although most of the area has been smeared, it can still be seen that those lines are not irregular.

"Let Croft use soul extraction to try." Noah said: "If I remember correctly, this magic can extract the soul from the corpse, and we can see everything he experienced before he died. But this is high-end magic that only a great magister can use."

"The soul is very fragile." Croft said: "The reason why soul extraction is a forbidden magic is because of its coercion."

Julian snorted coldly: "The portrait in the White Tower used soul extraction to imprison a young man's soul forever in the portrait."

Croft glanced at him, said no more, but walked directly to the corpse, Noah moved aside for him, and Croft took out his staff—a simple-looking and An ancient staff, light brown, with a simplified magic symbol at the top, and a non-attribute magic crystal embedded in the center, forming a shape like an eye.Noah remembered that the non-attribute white crystal was the cheapest, but the one in Croft's hand was obviously different. The crystal shimmered in the basement, like an old man who had gone through vicissitudes.

Evelia's eyes sparkled, and she said in surprise: "This crystal is not an ordinary white crystal."

"That's right, this staff is called the Eye of Abby, and it is a staff that has been passed down for thousands of years." Croft said gently: "The crystal in the middle is called the Abby Stone, and it has disappeared now."

Evelia: "Does each staff have its own name?"

"There are." After Croft finished speaking, he waved his staff. He was about to say the spell of soul extraction when Julian interrupted him.

"Let me do it." Julian pushed him away and said coldly, "I still have my doubts about you."

Croft frowned: "Julian, stop messing around, investigating the whereabouts of the staff is the most important thing now."

"Who knows if you directed and acted yourself, maybe you stole the staff, and you killed the people." Julian didn't budge: "Maybe you will do something in the soul extraction, and all of us will be killed by you." Cheated."

Croft: "I have no reason to steal the staff, and I will not attack the magician in the White Tower!"

"The magician outside the White Tower doesn't matter, does it?!" Julian was already quite agitated, and he stared closely at Croft, as if trying to see the flaw from his brother's always steady face.

Noah looked at them suspiciously, and was about to calm down Julian when he heard Croft say flatly and too calmly: "Julian, now is not the time to make trouble, you are always so emotional."

Noah's heart skipped a beat.

As expected, Julian erupted. He stood on tiptoe and grabbed Croft by the collar. The veins on his wrists were bulging. He was trembling all over, panting violently, and his head was dizzy.

He heard his own sharp and trembling voice: "So you're going to kill me?!"

Croft's expression changed suddenly.

He looked at his younger brother in disbelief, and couldn't maintain his usual steady posture. He was too shocked to refute immediately.

"Brother, I thought everything could be saved, but you want to kill me! I'm right in front of you now, why don't you do it!"

Croft waved away Julian's hands holding his collar, and then carried him out with one hand. Julian struggled desperately, but Croft held him down with gritted teeth, then kicked open the basement door and walked out .

"You let me go!"

"Julian, we have to talk." Croft's voice came from outside the basement.

"Noah—"

Evelia and Noah looked at each other in blank dismay, the situation changed so fast that they hadn't reacted yet.

"Are you going to help Julian?" Evlia asked weakly, "He's calling you."

Noah had a complicated expression, but he still shook his head: "No, do you think Croft will kill him?"

"No, Croft doesn't look like that kind of person." She added in her heart that no physical harm does not mean no spiritual harm. She has seen many people who have experienced mental violence.

Although the time we spent together is very short, it can be seen that Croft's attitude towards Julian is not what he wants. Kind of childish play.Instead, he made Julian's emotions more intense and intensified the conflict between the two parties.

Evelia herself had never had such an experience, and Earl Degar attached great importance to her ideas. When Evelia followed him to learn business, he didn't think Evelia would not understand.

"There should be some misunderstanding between them." Noah said: "It would be a good thing if we could have a good talk. Julian is actually quite stubborn. If he didn't have this opportunity, he might hold this resentment forever... ...Let's wait here for a while."

Evelia glanced at the corpse on the ground: "Are you sure you want to wait here?"

Noah pushed her shoulder, and the two left the place where the corpse was, and they both stood at the basement door that Croft had just kicked open, and Evelia squatted down.

Noah asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

Evelia made a silence gesture to him, then turned her ears slightly, listening intently to the movement outside.

Eavesdropping is not good... Noah thought, anyway, this is Julian's housework, but in case they fight, I have to help Julian... He found it for himself with peace of mind. An excuse, and then he concentrated, and the outside voice came into his ears clearly.

"After I left the White Tower, soon after I left the White Tower, magicians came to hunt me down." This is Julian's voice: "Until I entered the Adventurer's Association, no matter where I went, there would be people who wanted to kill me. Not just magicians. Many times, I almost died."

"Chasing...? Are you all right, Julian?"

"Are you disappointed that I'm still alive?"

"Impossible, I have never issued such an order." Croft flatly denied: "Why do you think those killers were sent by me?"

Julian was silent for a while, and Croft continued: "Just because we had a quarrel before you left, do you think I'm going to send someone to kill you?"

"Who else but you?! Anyway, you have always hated me!"

"I didn't do that! Why do you have such thoughts!"

"...Are those killers fake? When my life was hanging by a thread many times, when I wanted to come back but was hunted down, if it wasn't for Arabella...!"

Noah heard a violent impact and didn't know what happened. After a long time, he heard Julian say: "After I left, only Arabella came to me, and he even got hurt protecting me... ...and you didn't even think about looking for me."

"Arabella has never been injured, he is a liar." Croft gradually cleared his mind: "He has been lying to you, he sent the killer, and then he pretended to be a good man in front of you."

Julian's tone was complicated, and he asked slowly: "What evidence do you have?"

After a long time, Croft said: "I always thought it was you who hated me."

"After you were born, your mother passed away. I took over the White Tower, got the Eye of Abby, and worked hard to become a qualified Tower Master. But I don't know how to teach you, and I don't know how to become a qualified elder brother. Whenever I want to get close to you, you always hide, you don't want to be with me, you prefer to be close to Arabella, I hate him because my brother likes him."

"So after you left, I didn't look for you. I thought you would come back soon. If you don't want to come back, it means you don't want to see me either."

"Julian, there are indeed many disputes between us, we disagree, we have different ideas, we even had a fight before you left. No matter how many conflicts there are between us, it will not change...you are my only relative This matter." There was a short pause in Croft's sentence, but he quickly covered it up, and then said: "You are my brother, I will never hurt you, even if you put death blue on me flame."

"I was just scaring you." Julian said coldly.

"You really scared me. I don't know when you learned the blue flame of death. I never taught you forbidden magic."

"My knowledge of forbidden magic comes from Arabella, who is willing to teach me. And I learn quickly...you don't even know how powerful I am."

When Julian said this, his voice slowly lowered.

When he was a boy, Croft was always too busy to tell him stories, or to keep him company.For Julian, who is as pure as a piece of white paper, he believes in whatever he comes into contact with first.

"Moreover, what was sealed in that portrait was not the soul of a young man." Croft said: "He is indeed the younger brother of that tower master, but when he entered the portrait, he was already 40 years old. He violated the magic According to the rules of the world, when the White Tower of Precepts wanted to arrest him, in order to protect his younger brother, the tower owner hid him in the portrait."

Julian froze, eyed Croft suspiciously, and rubbed his brow vigorously.

Why did Arabella lie to him even with such a story? !

"Julian, I'm sorry." Croft said in a low voice. Noah could barely hear the voice, and Evelia had a blank expression on her face, and she was so anxious to scratch the wall.

"I've always treated you like a little kid and still do. But you've grown up and made really good friends. But I have to say, it makes me so sad that you hate me..."

"No..." Julian subconsciously denied, then he lowered his head and let out a long breath.
