I always confessed to saving the protagonist [Quick Transmigration]

Imperial Capital East District, Lier Street.

Xie Yunxi stood in front of a rather rusty brass statue, and nearby residents walked behind him sporadically.

On the base of the tall bronze statue, the great magister Albert's clothes were flying, and he was stepping on the soles of a demon creature, the bone wolf.The bone wolf turned its belly out, its fangs were exposed ferociously, but the second half of its body had already been reduced to dust.

The theme of this sculpture is to praise the victory of the war hundreds of years ago. There are hundreds of sculptures with similar themes in the imperial capital, located on various streets, and this is just one of them.

At the same time, they are also the entrance to the Imperial City Magic Association.

Every quarter, the entrance will be moved to some statues, and only those recognized by the association can get news of the entrance.

Xie Yunxi squeezed the invitation letter in his hand, checked the position left and right, finally settled down, bent down and bowed to the bronze statue.

Following his movements, the originally quiet base of the bronze statue suddenly trembled slightly, and then the bronze statue rose, revealing a passage underneath.

At the end of the passage is a portrait of Albert, the great magister smiling kindly, with a hint of cunning in his eyes hidden in wrinkles.

"Welcome to the Magic Association" is written in big cursive characters under the portrait.

Different from what the outside world imagined, the inside of the Magic Association was very lacklustre, even vaguely filled with the smell of sweet muffins.

In the center of the association is a circular hall. On the curved walls are intermittently hung portraits of great magicians who left traces in the history of the mainland, and their resumes are briefly recorded beside the portraits.As Xie Yunxi walked and watched, he vaguely felt that with his steps, the portraits on the wall were constantly rotating, disappearing and reappearing, ensuring that every ancestor could return to the world at some point.

After all, there are only dozens of places to hang pictures in the hall, but there are not only dozens of great magicians who have appeared in the long history!

Xie Yunxi glanced around for half a circle.He only accepted some necessary memories, and he didn't know much about the history of magic in this continent. In his eyes, all the gray-haired old men and women in front of him basically looked the same.

But suddenly, his eyes froze.

Among a bunch of portraits of old magicians, a bright-looking woman suddenly appeared, with the traditional brown hair and blue eyes of the royal family.From her facial features, Xie Yunxi suddenly felt a trace of familiarity.

He stared at the brief introduction next to the portrait with "Oh, so it was her" - "Bihela Somerhalder, one of the best astrologers in the Five Years. Author of "Continental Meteorology and Elemental Storm Theory", "A New Theory on the Causes of Elemental Storms"...".

At this moment, a slightly old voice sounded in Xie Yunxi's ear.

"In the deep and silent night, when the vines are entwined with blood red, the traitors of sword, fire, and pleasure, cross paths, and everything is possible. These are the last words Bihela said to me... A young astrologer left in this world The last sentence above."

Xie Yunxi was so frightened that his neck stiffened, he followed the prestige blankly, and before he knew it, an elderly magician was already standing beside him, with a white robe, white hair, and white beard, at first glance he looked like a magician. A white light flashed.

He searched out the memory in his mind, and recognized that the person in front of him was the president of the Magic Association, so he respectfully said, "Hubbard."

Hubbard didn't look at him, but still stared softly at Bihela's portrait.

"Do you know her? Once...she was one of my favorite magicians."

The great magician's voice was kind and alienated, Xie Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and said vaguely: "I heard something."

Hubbard smiled slightly upon hearing this.He quickly pulled away from some sad memories and patted Xie Yunxi on the shoulder.

"This time, your partner is the White Flame Knights."

"Bai...Bai Yan?" Xie Yunxi repeated in surprise.

He was indeed a little surprised. The White Flame Knights were one of the best knights in the empire, and they had been stationed near the woodland in the south of the empire in the past few years.And the head of the Knights is one of the disciples of the current Martial Saint, and in the original world line, he is also Carlos' senior brother.

Although the current world line has been completely disrupted.

Seeing Xie Yunxi's curious expression, Hubbard curled his lips, "Yes, Eric, the leader of the White Flame Knights has brought a group of recruits back from the south."

Hubbard took Xie Yunxi to a room, where he saw "Eric" as the old man said.

The other party has short blond hair, blue eyes, handsome facial features, a tall and straight figure, wearing heavy armor, but his movements are not clumsy at all - he is exactly the kind of knight in the hearts of the people.

And...very enthusiastic, very familiar!

Eric saw him, and immediately smiled: "Ian." He even omitted the greeting.

But the other party was also surprisingly good at communicating, and they quickly finalized the location of action.Xie Yunxi quickly discovered the reason for Eric's enthusiasm - there are too few magicians on this continent!There are even fewer magicians stationed in the southern part of the empire with the White Flame Knights. After all, the tropical climate there is not friendly to magicians.

Eric probably wanted to abduct a few rookie mages who are easy to fool and go with him to the south. Compared with warriors, mages have an advantage in facing orcs and elves with racial talents.

When he came out of the association, Eric invited: "Ian, let me take you back."

"Huh?" Xie Yunxi was confused.

Eric pointed to the carriage on the side of the road and explained, "I'll go with you."

Xie Yunxi didn't let his coachman wait, and was embarrassed at this moment, but he got into the carriage without hesitation.

He had something to ask the knight in front of him.

"Eric, have you ever understood the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts?"

……

Outside the mage tower, Carlos was standing on a lawn practicing space spells. Although he had made rapid progress, he had some small mistakes when he first came into contact with these.

After making annoying noises seven or eight times, Grace drove him out of the mage tower.

Said to rush, she followed out.

"Carlos," Grace asked with a tangled expression, "have you really never learned magic before?"

"No." Carlos shook his head.

Grace heard what he said, and said a little depressed: "Well, you have improved really fast-I only started to learn your spell after a month of entry. But now you have come to the mage The tower is only six days old! God, it's unbelievable."

Carlos didn't know how to answer her, so he stood silently.

In the past few days, after Ian introduced him, he chose a wand for him, and then taught him spells one by one.If he didn't understand it for a while, Ian would patiently correct him.

In the empty and quiet study room, the gray-robed mage warmly guided his magic path. Even though he failed again and again at the beginning, the other party never showed any impatience.

During the night, Carlos even found clean bandages for himself outside the room.

——He knew the festering on his body, and he didn't dislike it.

This is something that Carlos has never thought of in the past ten years of his life.Patient teaching, silent care, no longer worrying about being full, no longer working hard in the dangerous jungle, no longer receiving the contemptuous eyes of outsiders...

And all of this was brought by the gray-robed magician.

Grace turned her head and saw Carlos' tangled expression.The young man's light-colored lips were tightly pursed, his jaw tensed, but the corners of his lips raised slightly.

"What's the matter! Don't laugh! It's too early for you to surpass me!"

Grace ignored him and turned to talk to the gardener in the rose bushes.

Behind her, Carlos settled down and began to practice the new spell, over and over.

His current strength is too weak to repay the magician at all.But no matter what, he must get stronger quickly and start doing things for Ian—no matter what.

What if one day the magician doesn't want him anymore, Carlos dare not think about it.

Once he once had these happiness, he was never willing to let go, even though he knew well that he didn't deserve such kindness.

The sound of a carriage came from a distance outside the gate, Carlos put away his wand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ian is back.

He hurried towards the gate, but halfway through, the expression on his face suddenly froze.

A luxurious carriage stopped outside the mage's tower, and the first person to get off was a blond man. He jumped out of the carriage lightly, then turned around and stretched out his hand——

The car curtain was lifted, revealing the familiar gray robe, and then, Ian took his arm and got out of the car.The blond man said a few words to Ian enthusiastically, and Ian also nodded and answered with a smile.

The two were talking and laughing.

Carlos stopped in his tracks.

For some reason, his heart suddenly shrunk into a small ball uncomfortably, and his black pupils were also a little gloomy for a long time.

Ian would also smile at him, but this was different. He was just an "apprentice" picked up by him, and the blond man even had epaulettes belonging to senior knights on his shoulders!

When Carlos was in the mercenary team, he knew how those warriors were eager to win the favor of the magician, and he could see a similar look on the face of the blond man.

……

After a while, Eric got in the car and left. Xie Yunxi turned back to the Mage Tower in a good mood with the corners of his mouth bent.

He just mentioned it briefly, and the head of the knights expressed considerable interest in abducting a young magician who wanted to practice martial arts.Today, Carlos' body is eroded by the blood of the demons. If he can practice martial arts at the same time and transform a part of human beings, it may help him in his future path.

But as soon as Xie Yunxi entered the mansion, he subtly noticed something was wrong.

Holding a few roses in her hands, Grace rushed out to meet him.Behind her, Carlos followed silently and nodded: "Teacher."

It's not the smiling face before!Also, this is the first time Carlos called him "teacher".

The young man seemed to deliberately distinguish himself from the other two apprentices, and kept calling him by his real name, never calling him a teacher.

This strangeness continued into the night.

When the dinner was about to end, Xie Yunxi asked, "Carlos, do you want to learn martial arts?"

"Martial arts?"

"Right now, there is a very good knight order stationed in the imperial capital..."

Xie Yunxi tried to introduce him, but Carlos interrupted him before he finished speaking.

"I don't want to." The boy's voice was firm and cold.

This was the first time Xie Yunxi heard him speak to him in this tone. He froze for a moment, unable to answer for a moment.

Xie Yunxi didn't know what mechanism her words touched just now, but Carlos really seemed to react greatly.

The young man showed depression in front of his eyes for a long time, and his whole body seemed to be surrounded by a layer of lonely and fragile clouds. His dark and thick eyelashes covered his eyes, but his tense face revealed his restlessness.

On the other side, Grace was also stunned. She looked curiously at the boy with black hair and black eyes.

In the past few days, she could clearly see that not only the teacher was partial to Carlos, but Carlos also liked the teacher very much.Although Carlos was occasionally indifferent to himself, when he faced the great magician, he definitely had a completely different attitude.

A subtle silence suddenly spread across the dining table.

Under the sleeves, Carlos clenched his fists in a panic. As soon as the words came out, he suddenly became frightened.

—he rejected the magician.

Mingming afternoon, he was still thinking about how to repay the person in front of him, but facing the other party's first request, he refused.

What did you just say?Martial arts?Knights?Is he about to be sent away?Could it be that the magician finally realized that he was not qualified to be his apprentice?

Carlos was having a hard time breathing, and he didn't dare to look at the magician's expression.

Moreover, if he rejected him, would he be angry or disappointed?

but--

When Carlos felt that he was about to suffocate, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from the dining table.

Xie Yunxi said softly: "If you don't go, don't go. There will be pudding later, can you have some?"

Following his words, fresh cheese pudding was served on the table, and the conversation just now was directly taken over.

Carlos was taken aback.

Without blaming him?

Not going to send him away?

He froze for a while, and finally slowly loosened his clenched fist, stretched his stiff fingers, then mechanically held the spoon, and began to stuff dessert into his mouth.

The pudding was soft and sweet, but Carlos suddenly felt sour in his heart.

He has already obtained too much tenderness from the magician that does not belong to him.The way out to the Knights is actually much better than his original situation. In any case, he should not be angry or dissatisfied.

However, I am not satisfied with this, and I still hope for more.

The candlelight in the mage tower covered the pudding with a seductive luster. Carlos looked at the pudding, and suddenly felt his eyes were sore.

——No matter what his identity was, he just wanted to stay by Ian's side.

The teenager realized this with horror.
