I always confessed to saving the protagonist [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 68 How to Raise a Demon King
Since the previous world broke the basket, in this world, the system is very talkative.
"Host, this is the floating spell."
Accompanied by the electronic sound, Xie Yunxi flicked his wand lightly, a copper seal that was originally placed on the wooden table moved slightly, and then waddled up into the air.It seemed to be gently lifted by an invisible hand, slowly moving towards him.
Three seconds later, the copper seal finally floated in front of Xie Yunxi. He stretched out his hand subconsciously, and the magic power also expired at this moment, and the seal fell down as if losing strength, and fell into his white palm.
Only then did Xie Yunxi see clearly that the seal was a simple and gorgeous shield-shaped pattern.
"The family emblem of the Brolin family, one of the most prominent families in the imperial capital." The system explained in due course.
He fiddled with the seal in his palm for a while, then tossed it lightly into the air.After the copper seal was released from his hand, it did not fall to the ground in a parabolic posture, but stayed in the void again in an unscientific posture.
After being guided by the "Tutorial for Beginners" twice, Xie Yunxi has vaguely developed a mysterious feeling.
There are magic elements distributed in the air here, and his ability is to call these magic elements and make them produce effects according to his will.
This method of casting spells is somewhat similar to using aura in the world of cultivating immortals, but it is not the same.
Xie Yunxi stood up and looked around. This is a studio belonging to a magician.The room is spacious, except for the large floor-to-ceiling windows on one side of the wall, the other three sides are stacked with wooden frames, filled with ancient classics and precious magic props, showing the family heritage and the owner's financial resources.
In the center of the room is a thick black walnut desk with a chest-high large bird stand beside it. The pillars are wrapped with intricate carved patterns, and a bronze mirror hangs not far away.
Xie Yunxi walked over slowly, the gorgeous and warm carpet under his feet absorbed the sound of his footsteps.
He stood in front of the bronze mirror.
Different from the seemingly valuable room, he was wearing a plain gray mage robe, with a belt wrapped around his waist, showing a slender figure, with a small silver badge on his chest.
The face of the person in the mirror is [-]% similar to his own, with short hair and brown-gray eyes, but his skin is abnormally fair, lacks blood color, and his cheeks are thin, but apart from these innocuous shortcomings, in general, it is still a very delicate face .
"Receive the information."
According to the information sent by the system, this is a western fantasy plane.
The original Ian Brolin was a great magician of the human race, living in the mage's mansion in the imperial capital.In this human world, the Holy See, the Magic Association and the Empire are three powers.Due to the powerful power of magicians, even if they are few in number, walk alone, and do not hold important positions in the empire, they still have a distinguished status.
Most magicians devote their energy to magic research, but the Holy See and the Empire sometimes turn to their power, which is how they obtain their source of life. Some nobles even take pride in having a magician in their family .
"Don't make an enemy of a magician" is a motto that any family in the empire will teach its offspring, except, of course, the already powerful magician family.
In addition to the human race, other races such as elves, orcs, and dwarves coexist on this continent.Among them, the human race is the most numerous race, and large and small towns have been established in the central and eastern plains of the continent, elves and orcs are active in the vast woodlands in the south, and dwarves haunt the valleys in the west.In the distant sea, there is also the hidden Dragon Island, where rare magical creatures breed.
Although these races are scattered in various parts of the continent, they occasionally interact with the human race, and are generally in a peaceful state.
Except Mozu.
On this continent, the demon race is a human race, and it is also one of the most hated races by other races.
Hundreds of years ago, the demon king led all the demon generals and evil creatures, bringing an extremely painful and chaotic memory to the creatures here, until all races joined forces to repel it.
At that time, the great great magister Albert, the elf king, the beast king and other powerhouses built a continental barrier around the mainland, which hindered the spread of demon energy and the attack of demons.
Since then, the demons have disappeared on the mainland for hundreds of years.
And the protagonist of this world is the son of the devil, Carlos, who is also Xie Yunxi's mission target.
Carlos' mother is the princess of the kingdom, Vihara.Bihela is a miracle of this feudal dynasty. With her extreme intelligence and magical talent, she stepped out of the palace and became one of the most powerful astrologers in the human world. She traveled to every corner of the continent, and everyone who saw her was amazed For her wisdom and beauty.
But the good times didn't last long, and she was in danger during an expedition to the northern forest, and she was never seen again.Until a few months later, a passing traveler found the dying Bihela in the jungle, and there was a baby in her arms.
Bihela did not deny her blood relationship with the baby, but was tight-lipped about the child's biological father.People quickly sent the princess back to the palace. For the people here, it is not a glorious thing for a princess to conceive before marriage.
Three months later, Bihela passed away, and the child has never been seen.
But this is not the poisonous hands of the palace people.
The powerful astrologer used the last strength of her life to seal half of the child's blood, then entrusted him to the maid, and secretly sent him out of the palace to be raised.
According to the original fate line of the protagonist, Carlos will be raised safely by a court lady. After spending a period of poverty, due to the strong physique and amazing talent bestowed by the blood of the devil king, he was discovered by the martial sage of the imperial capital and accepted as his disciple, and then grew up. In the end, it was because of the awakening of blood that he became a strong man of the generation.
However, due to changes in the world line, several years ago, a catastrophic plague swept across most of the city. The maid passed away in that plague, and her illness also took away all the money in the family.
Carlos survived the plague safely, but his demonization process was advanced.
The seal was loose, and the blood belonging to the demon race began to boil, impacting the fragile human body.
An untrained body could not resist the magic energy. Carlos didn't know what was happening in his body. He only knew that some strange changes began to appear in his body.At first, it was star spot erythema, and then the erythema gradually expanded, and the severe part began to fester.At the beginning, he went to the clinic several times, but the doctor could only confirm that it was not a plague, and then gave him some externally applied herbs.Fortunately, this disease does not seem to be contagious, which is why Carlos can still go out.
After that, he had to endure the hot blood in his body at night, which was unbearable. During the day, he had to wrap half of his face with gauze and do some odd jobs so that he could survive.
As the demon energy in his body became stronger, the magician of the imperial capital discovered him.
As a matter of course, Carlos was hunted down by humans who hated the demons. The human skin was exposed to flesh and blood under the impact of the demonic energy, and the wings of the newborn demons were mercilessly broken off.
In a few months, a strange and dying demon clan was transferred to the hands of various clans.After enduring the tragic tortures inflicted on him by various races, Carlos completely fell into the devil, and formed an alliance with the necromancer, pierced the continental barrier, and embarked on the road that originally belonged to the devil.
Carlos has both the wisdom of humans and the power of demons.He led the demon clan that was once blocked by the barrier, set off a bloody storm on the mainland, and brutally slaughtered all the former enemies and their groups.
In the end, the world fell apart.
The Quick Transmigration Bureau received a letter of complaint.
This is why Xie Yunxi appeared here. He is an employee of the Quick Transmigration Bureau, who is assigned to various worlds to rescue the turbulent world lines.
……
Stoneclaw Forest is a forest not far from Vega Town, and it is less than half a day's journey. For a martial artist with some foundation, this distance is not a problem.
Due to the advantage of distance, many warriors who ventured to Stonetalon Forest will rest in Vega Town.Xie Yunxi wore a loose gray robe and strolled in this small town. After a while, his footsteps stopped in front of a tavern.A rough, dusty wooden sign hung above it, reading "The Black Mandarin Tavern."
According to the system prompt, the protagonist is now in the tavern.
In this world, the timeline goes after the plague.At this time, the seal on Carlos' body had been loosened, and the demonic energy had eroded the human part of his body to a certain extent.
After the death of his adoptive mother, Carlos lived alone for several years.At first, he earned his living by doing odd jobs in town.But since last year, due to the unknown festering on his body, the employers in the town were unwilling to take him in anymore, so Carlos ran out to make a living by hunting low-level monsters.
And there are many low-level monsters inhabiting the Stoneclaw Forest, which is an excellent place for warriors to obtain crystal nuclei.The Black Mandarin Tavern is a gathering place for warriors in town, where they exchange information and items, drink ale, and form groups.
Xie Yunxi stepped into the tavern, he was instantly overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of voices and the overflowing smell of beer.
……
At this time, a small group of mercenaries, about a dozen people, were scattered in the area on the left side of the Heiyuan Tavern. They rested here and waited for their next trip.
Polly was the vice-captain. Her big emerald eyes looked around the tavern recklessly. They swept from left to right, and then from right to left, watching everyone unscrupulously, not afraid that the other party would notice her gaze.
If the other party also looked back, she would return a sweet smile, blink her thick and long eyelashes, and then get a burst of friendly laughter.
Her hands are caressing the wooden bow and arrows in front of her - she is an archer.
On the opposite side of the table, a blond young man suddenly blocked her gaze. The other party glanced at her, and then showed a meaningful smile.
It was a swordsman from the same team named Owen.
Polly ignored him, turned her head away calmly, and the next moment, her eyes fell on a silent teenager on the right.
The boy was wearing a short cloak that was easy to move around, and the jet-black hood hung down, covering most of his face.In addition, his whole body was tightly wrapped, with gloves on his hands, and his exposed wrists and neck were tightly wrapped with gauze.
Polly frowned, her mind full of doubts.A few days ago, this young man named Carlos approached their captain and wanted to join the team to hunt monsters together.
Generally speaking, their team would not act as a youth club, but when the captain wanted to reject him, Carlos took out a few magic cores of the first-level Stoneclaw Beast from his bag, and at the same time, he untied the He took off the gloves, revealing the wounds covered with monster claw marks - proving that these magic cores were his own.
You know, even warriors above the second level dare not go to the forest to single out monsters, and he is just a young man who has not yet been trained as a warrior!
The captain was obviously shocked, and decided to let him stay and try.
It's still in the "trying" stage, but Polly feels...it won't be for long.
Because the captain seems to be in trouble.
Their team had just arrived in town and hadn't had time to figure out what was going on.But in the past few days, she could vaguely sense that Carlos was not popular in the town.
For some reason, Carlos was quite vigilant about everything around him.He seemed to be guarding against something, and many people here also treated him as though they hadn't seen it.
Polly sighed inwardly.
Owen seemed to be holding his breath because of her neglect, followed her gaze to Carlos, and roughly reached out to grab the other's hood: "Hey, you kid, take the hood off!"
Carlos tilted his head to avoid it, and at the same time, a dagger in his hand slipped out of the scabbard, pointing at the blond swordsman in an instant.
"Enough." Polly looked at them.
The blond swordsman protested: "Polly, I don't want to be with this kind of guy who covers his head and face. It feels like staying with a zombie."
Polly frowned at him impatiently, but still looked at the young man as she said, and called out in a questioning tone: "Carlos?"
As she expected, the boy didn't move, but sat quietly by the table, wiping his dagger.
In the past few days of getting along, she has become accustomed to the other party's taciturnity.
Many warriors have flamboyant personalities, and unless it affects the team, Poli won't care about their personal habits.
She shrugged at Owen.
Owen snorted disdainfully in his nasal cavity. He muttered a few foul words, but he didn't continue to do anything.
There was a sharp coldness all over the young man, which made him subconsciously feel that something was wrong, although intellectually, he knew that his strength was stronger than the opponent's.
"Polly," the blond swordsman turned and walked towards Poli, as if he wanted to continue the conversation, but Poli turned cold and raised her hand in a gesture of rejection, blocking his words.
"Call me Vice Captain."
Seeing her expression, the swordsman stepped back reluctantly.
Polly then withdrew her hand and leaned back in her chair.But at this moment, a strange figure suddenly appeared in her peripheral vision.
Polly looked puzzled.
Vigilance is an essential quality for an archer, but before she knew it, a man in gray robes had already stood near their table, talking to the captain.
When did she become so careless!
"Fuck, another one with a hood!" Owen screamed.
"Shh." Polly glared at him.
As far as the gray-robed man can approach them quietly, his ability is definitely much stronger than the blond swordsman in front of him. Rather, based on her experience, the gray-robed man is likely to be stronger than their captain!
The man was dressed in dark gray robes, had no insignia on his body, and had no weapons in his hands.
Polly blinked her eyes in bewilderment. Ordinary warriors would carry their own weapons. Nowadays, there are very few boxers who rely solely on their physical bodies to fight against the enemy, and the figure in front of her is thin, and it doesn't look like a boxer's physique...
At this moment, the captain turned around and beckoned to her: "Polly, come here."
"I?"
She froze for a moment, then quickly calmed down, walked over, and when she was about to say hello, the words that came to her lips were suddenly blocked for a moment.
Because she saw the face of the man in gray robe.
The other party had a rather handsome face and very fair skin, which made Poli feel a little inferior for a moment.The swordsman next to him, no, compared to him, everyone else in the mercenary team is simply crooked!
Beneath the huge hood were beautiful brown-gray eyes that reminded her of pure citrine.
Polly was immediately bewitched by those eyes, and she even felt her cheeks getting hot.
The captain briefly explained to her: "Ian Brolin, a distinguished magician from the imperial capital. He will go with us to Stoneclaw Forest to obtain some crystal cores of monsters."
"Momomomo magician?!"
Unable to control her expression, Polly exclaimed in a low voice.
In the town of Vega, it is very rare for you to see a magician appearing here, usually you may only see one every three to five days.And this only one person will be recruited by those super high-level teams soon!Most magicians will go to Stonetalon Forest by themselves, and their powerful abilities allow them to act alone in the forest.
Rumor has it that magicians are very independent, and most of them are proud of their talents. Even the Magic Association is set up in a strange secret place. The entrance of the association will change every quarter. Only members with sufficient levels are eligible to know the location of the entrance.
It was also for this reason that she didn't think in the direction that the gray-robed man was a magician at first.
And... Polly looked down at the badge on the opponent's chest...
Other uninformed teammates may not be able to recognize this complicated badge, after all, they have too few opportunities to come into contact with real magicians, but she studied it for a short period of time out of curiosity.
She searched for vague memories in her mind, and then... her breathing almost stopped!
It is very difficult to upgrade a magician, but the other party must be at least a great magician above level nine. Among the human race, there are never more than ten such strong people.
A great magician came to their team? !
A great magician needs such insignificant crystal nuclei from Stonetalon Forest? !
Polly looked in disbelief at the serious-looking captain, but the captain ignored her, and he was staring at Ian with shining eyes.
Polly came back to herself.
This must be a godsend opportunity!Knowing a great magician is a rare opportunity for many mercenary teams.
She said respectfully to the gray-robed mage in front of her, "Dear mage, we welcome you very much!"
The good-looking mage in gray robe nodded to her: "Ian, you can call me Ian."
After a while, Polly sat back in her chair in a daze.
After a while, the news spread, and the gray-robed mage quickly received a lot of respectful eyes.Wherever he walked, the mercenaries automatically quieted down. While hiding their curiosity, everyone couldn't help but look at him, and they were afraid that His Majesty the Magician would get angry and hit him hard.
……
Xie Yunxi followed the system's instructions and found the boy in the corner of the tavern.
In fact, there is no need for the system's notification sound. The moment he glanced over, he was attracted by the figure.
In the noisy tavern, Carlos sat quietly by the window, his dark hood covered half of his face, only his chin and a few strands of black hair were exposed, and his thin lips were pursed coldly.
Not far from him, there were a few mercenaries arguing with each other over trivial matters. They were arguing passionately, and when they got angry, they almost raised their hands, but when they got tired of arguing, they began to drink the large glass of ale in front of them again.
On the other side, Carlos quietly wiped the dagger in his hand, as if he was completely unaware of what was happening around him. A cold barrier seemed to be erected around his body, which seemed out of tune with the people around him.
Only there was no ale in front of him.
A glass of ale costs two coppers, but four coppers can give him a full meal, and ten coppers can get him a bed and a good night's sleep.
Xie Yunxi sighed in his heart. According to the news he got from the world line, Carlos should still be saving money at this time to pay for the high cost of going to the medical clinic, although the medical clinic is not capable of curing those weird diseases on his body. fester.
It was also because of this that he ran to hunt monsters without training-only this action could allow him to obtain the money he needed as quickly as possible.
For other mercenaries, these trips are just daily hunting, but for him, this is an act of exchanging life for money.
There was still a short time before the team set off, Xie Yunxi walked to the bar, exchanged four copper coins for two glasses of ale, and then walked to the table by the window.
There was no one sitting next to Carlos.Apparently, no other mercenary wanted to sit with such a taciturn, unknown boy who was covered in gauze.
As he stood beside the boy, there was a strange silence all around.
Even the mercenaries who were still arguing just now stopped arguing, and everyone stared at the new magician in astonishment.
When he walked over with two glasses of ale, the mercenaries thought that this was the honorable mage who decided to show his favor to the only beautiful vice-captain with emerald eyes, but to everyone's surprise, He stood at another table.
In the subtle silence, Xie Yunxi sat down beside the table calmly.Carlos didn't show any reaction to his actions. The dark cloak covered his expression and blocked Xie Yunxi's sight.
There was a slight pushing sound on the rough wooden table, Xie Yunxi put a glass of ale in front of him, and pushed the other glass "smoothly".
The light yellow mug of ale is only an adult's elbow away from Carlos, with rich foam on it, which looks quite attractive.
"Uh……"
Not far away, Polly blinked her green eyes hesitantly, and hesitated to speak.
She wanted to remind the people in front of her that Carlos would not accept his kindness.This is the experience she gained after a few days of contact with this teenager.
Carlos will never eat food given to him by outsiders, and to him, everyone is an outsider.
Polly pursed her lips in embarrassment. Carlos, please don't let the nobles next door run away. Their team does not intend to bear the wrath of the great magician for him.
Sure enough, Carlos didn't respond at all, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.
The glass of ale stood alone on the wooden table, a drop of water slowly fell along the wall of the glass, soaking the table, leaving a small spot of water.
There is no other hand reaching for it.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
After half a month, it's finally my turn to be a magician, quack! ! !
Long time no see, little angels≧3≦, I have an illusion that the summer vacation is over (cover my face...)
Celebrate the re-update, red envelopes will be dropped under the new chapter today and tomorrow, okay~
"Host, this is the floating spell."

At this time, a small group of mercenaries, about a dozen people, were scattered in the area on the left side of the Heiyuan Tavern. They rested here and waited for their next trip.
Polly was the vice-captain. Her big emerald eyes looked around the tavern recklessly. They swept from left to right, and then from right to left, watching everyone unscrupulously, not afraid that the other party would notice her gaze.

Her hands are caressing the wooden bow and arrows in front of her - she is an archer.
On the opposite side of the table, a blond young man suddenly blocked her gaze. The other party glanced at her, and then showed a meaningful smile.
It was a swordsman from the same team named Owen.
Polly ignored him, turned her head away calmly, and the next moment, her eyes fell on a silent teenager on the right.

Polly frowned at him impatiently, but still looked at the young man as she said, and called out in a questioning tone: "Carlos?"
As she expected, the boy didn't move, but sat quietly by the table, wiping his dagger.
In the past few days of getting along, she has become accustomed to the other party's taciturnity.
Many warriors have flamboyant personalities, and unless it affects the team, Poli won't care about their personal habits.
She shrugged at Owen.
Owen snorted disdainfully in his nasal cavity. He muttered a few foul words, but he didn't continue to do anything.
There was a sharp coldness all over the young man, which made him subconsciously feel that something was wrong, although intellectually, he knew that his strength was stronger than the opponent's.
"Polly," the blond swordsman turned and walked towards Poli, as if he wanted to continue the conversation, but Poli turned cold and raised her hand in a gesture of rejection, blocking his words.
"Call me Vice Captain."
Seeing her expression, the swordsman stepped back reluctantly.
Polly then withdrew her hand and leaned back in her chair.But at this moment, a strange figure suddenly appeared in her peripheral vision.
Polly looked puzzled.
Vigilance is an essential quality for an archer, but before she knew it, a man in gray robes had already stood near their table, talking to the captain.
When did she become so careless!
"Fuck, another one with a hood!" Owen screamed.
"Shh." Polly glared at him.
As far as the gray-robed man can approach them quietly, his ability is definitely much stronger than the blond swordsman in front of him. Rather, based on her experience, the gray-robed man is likely to be stronger than their captain!
The man was dressed in dark gray robes, had no insignia on his body, and had no weapons in his hands.
Polly blinked her eyes in bewilderment. Ordinary warriors would carry their own weapons. Nowadays, there are very few boxers who rely solely on their physical bodies to fight against the enemy, and the figure in front of her is thin, and it doesn't look like a boxer's physique...
At this moment, the captain turned around and beckoned to her: "Polly, come here."
"I?"
She froze for a moment, then quickly calmed down, walked over, and when she was about to say hello, the words that came to her lips were suddenly blocked for a moment.
Because she saw the face of the man in gray robe.
The other party had a rather handsome face and very fair skin, which made Poli feel a little inferior for a moment.The swordsman next to him, no, compared to him, everyone else in the mercenary team is simply crooked!
Beneath the huge hood were beautiful brown-gray eyes that reminded her of pure citrine.
Polly was immediately bewitched by those eyes, and she even felt her cheeks getting hot.
The captain briefly explained to her: "Ian Brolin, a distinguished magician from the imperial capital. He will go with us to Stoneclaw Forest to obtain some crystal cores of monsters."
"Momomomo magician?!"
Unable to control her expression, Polly exclaimed in a low voice.
In the town of Vega, it is very rare for you to see a magician appearing here, usually you may only see one every three to five days.And this only one person will be recruited by those super high-level teams soon!Most magicians will go to Stonetalon Forest by themselves, and their powerful abilities allow them to act alone in the forest.
Rumor has it that magicians are very independent, and most of them are proud of their talents. Even the Magic Association is set up in a strange secret place. The entrance of the association will change every quarter. Only members with sufficient levels are eligible to know the location of the entrance.
It was also for this reason that she didn't think in the direction that the gray-robed man was a magician at first.
And... Polly looked down at the badge on the opponent's chest...
Other uninformed teammates may not be able to recognize this complicated badge, after all, they have too few opportunities to come into contact with real magicians, but she studied it for a short period of time out of curiosity.
She searched for vague memories in her mind, and then... her breathing almost stopped!
It is very difficult to upgrade a magician, but the other party must be at least a great magician above level nine. Among the human race, there are never more than ten such strong people.
A great magician came to their team? !
A great magician needs such insignificant crystal nuclei from Stonetalon Forest? !
Polly looked in disbelief at the serious-looking captain, but the captain ignored her, and he was staring at Ian with shining eyes.
Polly came back to herself.
This must be a godsend opportunity!Knowing a great magician is a rare opportunity for many mercenary teams.
She said respectfully to the gray-robed mage in front of her, "Dear mage, we welcome you very much!"
The good-looking mage in gray robe nodded to her: "Ian, you can call me Ian."
After a while, Polly sat back in her chair in a daze.
After a while, the news spread, and the gray-robed mage quickly received a lot of respectful eyes.Wherever he walked, the mercenaries automatically quieted down. While hiding their curiosity, everyone couldn't help but look at him, and they were afraid that His Majesty the Magician would get angry and hit him hard.
……
Xie Yunxi followed the system's instructions and found the boy in the corner of the tavern.
In fact, there is no need for the system's notification sound. The moment he glanced over, he was attracted by the figure.
In the noisy tavern, Carlos sat quietly by the window, his dark hood covered half of his face, only his chin and a few strands of black hair were exposed, and his thin lips were pursed coldly.
Not far from him, there were a few mercenaries arguing with each other over trivial matters. They were arguing passionately, and when they got angry, they almost raised their hands, but when they got tired of arguing, they began to drink the large glass of ale in front of them again.
On the other side, Carlos quietly wiped the dagger in his hand, as if he was completely unaware of what was happening around him. A cold barrier seemed to be erected around his body, which seemed out of tune with the people around him.
Only there was no ale in front of him.
A glass of ale costs two coppers, but four coppers can give him a full meal, and ten coppers can get him a bed and a good night's sleep.
Xie Yunxi sighed in his heart. According to the news he got from the world line, Carlos should still be saving money at this time to pay for the high cost of going to the medical clinic, although the medical clinic is not capable of curing those weird diseases on his body. fester.
It was also because of this that he ran to hunt monsters without training-only this action could allow him to obtain the money he needed as quickly as possible.
For other mercenaries, these trips are just daily hunting, but for him, this is an act of exchanging life for money.
There was still a short time before the team set off, Xie Yunxi walked to the bar, exchanged four copper coins for two glasses of ale, and then walked to the table by the window.
There was no one sitting next to Carlos.Apparently, no other mercenary wanted to sit with such a taciturn, unknown boy who was covered in gauze.
As he stood beside the boy, there was a strange silence all around.
Even the mercenaries who were still arguing just now stopped arguing, and everyone stared at the new magician in astonishment.
When he walked over with two glasses of ale, the mercenaries thought that this was the honorable mage who decided to show his favor to the only beautiful vice-captain with emerald eyes, but to everyone's surprise, He stood at another table.
In the subtle silence, Xie Yunxi sat down beside the table calmly.Carlos didn't show any reaction to his actions. The dark cloak covered his expression and blocked Xie Yunxi's sight.
There was a slight pushing sound on the rough wooden table, Xie Yunxi put a glass of ale in front of him, and pushed the other glass "smoothly".
The light yellow mug of ale is only an adult's elbow away from Carlos, with rich foam on it, which looks quite attractive.
"Uh……"
Not far away, Polly blinked her green eyes hesitantly, and hesitated to speak.
She wanted to remind the people in front of her that Carlos would not accept his kindness.This is the experience she gained after a few days of contact with this teenager.
Carlos will never eat food given to him by outsiders, and to him, everyone is an outsider.
Polly pursed her lips in embarrassment. Carlos, please don't let the nobles next door run away. Their team does not intend to bear the wrath of the great magician for him.
Sure enough, Carlos didn't respond at all, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.
The glass of ale stood alone on the wooden table, a drop of water slowly fell along the wall of the glass, soaking the table, leaving a small spot of water.
There is no other hand reaching for it.
