scepter

Lily and the others were stunned for a moment, and they were pleasantly surprised: "Chris, you're back!"

The mage didn't want to admit his timidity, so he changed his way of speaking: "Your Excellency is a mage, but you openly protect a priest, no matter how powerful your spells are, once the magic guild finds out, you will be cast aside by mages across the continent." , I believe that as wise as you are, you should not make such a choice!"

Chris was too lazy to speak, and directly raised the staff in his hand slightly, expressing the meaning of "If you talk again, I will let you and that guy raise it".

The other party didn't expect to meet someone who would not eat hard and soft. He was stunned for a while, then looked at Pierre who couldn't get up for a long time, his lips moved, and he still shut his mouth wisely.

When the other mages in the hotel saw this man's tyrannical attack, they immediately beat up a mid-level mage like that, and immediately dispersed in a panic.

In a no-care zone like Tuomei Town, the most indispensable thing is people who are good at observing words and deeds, and adapting to the wind.

Azul, who was restrained from the beginning to the end, was also thrown on the ground by the opponent, ouching his mouth, rubbing his arms and unable to get up for a long time.

Those swordsmen looked at each other, and the man who stopped the mage just now said: "Your Excellency, maybe we can talk about something."

If the person in front of him can beat a mid-level mage to the ground in an instant, then his strength is definitely above the mid-level. Looking at Tomei Town, there are very few such mages, so it is not suitable to provoke them.

Lily raised her eyebrows: "We don't seem to have anything to talk about!"

The swordsman said: "I'm sorry. My companions spoke badly to the two ladies before. I would like to express my sincere apologies on their behalf. But we were just joking around at that time. If it wasn't for this mage," he read Look at Azul, "Rush forward, maybe things won't be as messy as later."

Azul glared at him and wanted to refute something, but was quickly stopped by Aphra, who pulled his robe, covered his mouth, and whispered: "Please be quiet, don't let Things just got worse!"

Azul rolled his eyes and finally calmed down.

The swordsman saw that Chris didn't attack them, but he didn't intend to stop and continue listening, so he quickly finished the rest of the sentence: "The two mages were just hired by us to travel together. There is no relationship between us." relationship, so we will not seek revenge from you for them!"

D'Antonio sneered: "Your attitude was not like that just now!"

The swordsman winked at him: "My friend, the strong in this world are the most respected. We couldn't offend those two mages for you just now. You can understand, can you? Wait, mage Your Excellency!" He shouted and turned around Chris who wants to go upstairs, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Feizel, I would like to invite you to enter the dark forest with us, five hundred gold coins, how about it!"

Five hundred gold coins?Everyone else was stunned.

The hard currency of this continent is gold, silver, and copper coins, and each unit is converted on a one-to-one basis. That is to say, one hundred copper coins is exchanged for one silver coin, and one hundred silver coins is exchanged for one gold coin. A huge fortune!

To be more specific, these [-] gold coins are enough for one person to buy a house in the imperial capital of the Garter Empire, where prices are extremely high, and they can eat and drink comfortably for a whole year!

Who knew that Chris kept stopping, as if what he heard was not five hundred gold coins but five copper coins, Feizel could only watch helplessly as he and the priest went up the stairs, and their figures disappeared around the corner .

...In fact, Yannick really wanted to stop and help Chris agree to them, but his wrist was tightly held by the other party, so he could only look back at the "five hundred gold coins" and say goodbye to himself.

With the help of his companions, Pierre, the middle-level mage who was beaten to the ground by Chris, could barely get up. He stared at Lily and the others with resentment, and the two quickly disappeared at the door of the hotel. Glancing at them, everyone's attention was attracted by the five hundred gold coins that the swordsman blurted out just now.

No matter what occupation it is, on the way to make yourself stronger, you must accumulate money. Lily and the others are from ordinary backgrounds. Of course, five hundred gold coins is a great temptation for them, but the other party obviously sees Chris. It was just a temporary idea, and it has nothing to do with them. Lily and the others are very self-aware, and of course they don't dare to help Chris make a decision casually.

The seven or eight swordsmen then went upstairs, and the others saw that there was no excitement to watch, and the people who had been watching had dispersed one after another, continuing to drink and gamble.

Azul waved Aphra's hand away and glared at her.

Aphra apologized: "Azul, just now..."

Azul sneered: "If it wasn't for you, why would I have to make a fool of myself like a clown, but it turned out that I was the troublemaker!"

Lily said: "Azul, we are very grateful to you for helping us get ahead, but you are a little impulsive..."

Azul interrupted her: "From the beginning, I thought that the Holy See bastard was not a good thing. Look, how much trouble he caused us! He even hid his identity from us! As a result, you are still protecting us one by one. Follow him!"

Lily frowned and said, "Yannick is indeed just a junior priest, otherwise, even if we didn't find out, it's impossible for Chris not to know, maybe he has some difficulties..."

Asul waved his hand and said angrily: "Come on, don't you just think I'm a burden, not only keep getting in trouble with him, but also keep causing trouble for you! I'm leaving! I'm leaving!"

He didn't turn his head back after speaking, and walked out angrily. The corner of the magic robe raised a high arc when he turned around, which showed the anger in the master's heart.

Aphra sighed, and it was no surprise that she saw the same helplessness in the eyes of the other two companions.

Lily: "Do you want to go out and find him?"

Aphra: "Forget it, let him calm down!"

This is not once or twice.

Yannick followed Chris into the room - of course, don't forget that they were originally in the same room.

He thought about it and said, "Teacher, aren't you going to agree to their request?"

Chris: "I'm not short of money."

Yannick: "..." I'm missing it!

"A lot of money is not a bad thing. We can listen to what they have to say first. Whether we agree or not is up to us in the end." Yannick showed a coaxing smile, "Besides, isn't the dark forest famous for its treasures? , Dangerous places are also very beneficial for mages to experience and advance."

"Do you want to go?" Chris took off his cloak, removed the appearance confusion spell, and revealed the deep and beautiful face underneath.

"With my current strength, even if I go, I can only help you heal your injuries. Of course, if you don't mind, I'd be happy to accompany you." Yannick touched his nose and offered a timely compliment.

"How is your light magic practice?" Chris asked.

"According to your guidance, I seem to have captured the magic power in my body, and maybe I will be able to organize it into a complete magic power cycle in the near future. By then, the effect of the healing technique should be doubled, maybe I can also start learning about the light that shines."

"Bright Radiance" is the only offensive magic in the light magic. It uses all the heat of light to burn and burn the enemy. Like all spells, the ability of the caster also determines the strength of the spell. The pope's series, when used in light, is said to be able to instantly blind an army of soldiers. This effect is of course quite amazing.

According to the research of Chris and Yannick, they believe that this "brightness" should actually be a variant of fire magic.

Chris: "When you are able to use middle-level magic proficiently, you can go to the Holy See branch of the Garter Empire by the way and pass the priest's promotion assessment."

Yannick smiled bitterly: "I don't seem to have said that I am being hunted down."

Chris raised an eyebrow.

Yannick briefly explained the matter, and then raised the newly recognized bishop's ring in his hand: "This thing was given to me by the godfather. It is said that owning it means obtaining the authority of the bishop. As a result, once I put it on, I couldn’t take it off, maybe those people are chasing me because of this.”

Chris: "I haven't seen anyone chasing you since I came out of Jed Town."

Yannick said: "I'm also very surprised. After entering the Principality of Mecklen, those people disappeared. I think maybe it's because of their lack of power, or they have longer-term plans."

Chris reached out and touched his ring, his cold fingertips touched Yannick's skin, the latter trembled and did not pull away.

Fingers fumbled on the power ring for a while, and almost held Yannick's whole hand in his hand and kneaded it over and over again. If Yannick didn't know that this guy was an academic madman, he would have almost thought that the guy had some other kind of addiction.

"Some kind of restriction has been imposed from above." Chris finally let go of Yannick's hand, although his expression was still lacking, but his eyes were obviously bright.

"So?" Yannick had a bad feeling.

"Let me study once a day, maybe I can find a way to break the ban."

"..." The so-called one time will take at least half a day.

While Yanick was powerless, he did not forget to fight for benefits: "So you agreed to the request of those swordsmen? I have a hunch that my healing skills will definitely improve by leaps and bounds in the dark forest."

Chris didn't answer, but just took out a fiery red and bright spar from the magic bag and handed it to him.

Yannick: "???"

Chris: "Aren't you short of money?"

The teacher's brain circuits are always different from ordinary people.Yannick frowned: "It seems too expensive."

Chris directly stuffed the red magic crystal to him: "With our relationship, you don't need to be polite."

Yannick: "..."

Saying such misleading words will make me more stressed, right?

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Yannick hurriedly stuffed the magic crystal into the magic bag. "I'm going to open the door." As a result, when he got up, he stumbled over the foot of the chair, couldn't stop, and his body fell to the side. He subconsciously reached out and grabbed the "thing" next to him that could stabilize his figure, but he didn't expect that "thing" to be pushed hard by him. Pulling, both of them fell to the ground, even pressing on top of him.

The people outside seemed unable to wait for a response, so they just opened the door and walked in.

"Master Your Excellency..."

The other party only called out a title and then silenced. Seven or eight people, with more than a dozen pairs of eyes, stared at the scene in front of them.

The black-clothed mage was pressing on the silver-haired priest. The posture of the two looked ambiguous, and the clothes were a little messy. It was more like "fighting" on the ground because they couldn't wait to go to bed and do something.

"Oh, I'm sorry, we seem to have interrupted you! Go ahead, we'll come back later!" the leader swordsman Feizel apologized.

"No, we just fell..." Yannick couldn't help hissing because of the pain in his hip. He could tell by the expression on the other party's face that they had misunderstood something.

"It's okay, true love has no boundaries. I've seen dragons and elves together!" Feizel's expression of "we understand, we understand" made Yannick's hips hurt even more.

Chris got up from Yannick calmly and gave him a hand.

When these swordsmen pushed the door in just now, he had already added a confusion spell to his face.

"Give me a reason for you to break in," he said.

"That's right. Although you rejected our invitation just now, we also know that five hundred gold coins is really not worth mentioning to you, but we still hope that we can work harder to let you see our sincerity." Fei Ze Er looked sincere, "And we didn't enter the Dark Forest to practice, but to find a partner. She is very important to us. If we can find her, we can negotiate the price."

Yannick raised his eyebrows. This group of people are really generous, all of which cost [-] gold coins. They also said that they can be negotiated. The person who is to be sought must have an unusual identity.

He thought that Chris would still refuse outright, but the other party's answer was unexpected: "How much can you offer?"

Feizel was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "How about eight hundred gold coins?"

I hate rich people.The priest thought to himself.

"Deal." Chris said succinctly, "But I want to bring a few people."

Feizel was very straightforward: "Of course, as you like."

Although they lost two middle-level mages, they were able to find a mage with higher mana to accompany them. It was a blessing in disguise. Feizel and his party made an appointment for tomorrow's departure and left contentedly.

"Are you going to call Lily and the others? I thought you would think they are a burden." Yannick was a little surprised. From the beginning of his trip to Jed Town, he found that Chris obviously didn't like Lily's slow-down behavior, but He still wants to hang out with them, and it's obviously not because of friendship or anything like that.

"Only you and I are too conspicuous, and they can hide our eyes and ears." Chris said.

Yannick understood a little bit, "Maybe your identity is not simple?"

"Are you curious?" Chris looked at him.

"Just asking casually, if it's not convenient to say..." Yannick's smile clearly indicated that I don't want to hear secrets.

"Noble." Chris said, "I am a noble mage."
