After getting permission from Moriarty's two maids, Hill and Lizzy got into the carriage together, and personally sent her to Moriarty's mansion in Yasha City.

This is the first time that Hill has set foot in this mansion, but it is not dark at this time, and there seems to be no plans to hold social gatherings in the mansion. To a few, far from the promiscuous and extravagant place in Hill's impression.

Lizzy was taken directly to the back house by two of Moriarty's maids, while Hill was led to a living room by another servant.

Moriarty was sitting in this living room, holding a half glass of blood-red wine in his hand, and lying on his lap was the blond boy who had seduced Hill.

Seeing Hill coming in, Moriarty patted the boy on the shoulder, the boy stood up immediately, left the living room with the servant who brought Hill, and gave him a gift when he passed by Hill. An ambiguous look with obvious temptation.

Hill Quan pretended not to see it, and waited until the living room door was closed again before bowing to Moriarty.

"Just tell me why you are here. Although I have plenty of time, I don't like being wasted." Moriarty waved his hand and said indifferently.

"Actually, I'm only here to ask you for one thing." Although Hill hesitated, he decided to take a gamble. He raised his head, looked into Moriarty's eyes, and said word by word, "I hope you will allow me to marry Miss Lizzie."

"Well, I see." Moriarty raised the corners of his mouth, and nodded with unknown meaning.

Hill was slightly taken aback, for a moment he was not sure whether Moriarty agreed or refused, so he could only tentatively ask, "You... agreed?"

"Why not? She is willing to marry you anyway, isn't she?" Moriarty shrugged, "All I have to do is add the surname Lucifer after her name. As for her last surname Which one it is, I neither care nor care."

Moriarty's words were meaningful, and Hill couldn't help but think deeply, but the occasion at this moment was a bit inappropriate, and Hill also had other things to worry about, so he temporarily put it in his mind after a moment of astonishment. Then, he turned to say: "Thank you very much for your recognition of me, Your Excellency the Marquis. I will inform my father about this and find another formal time to negotiate the marriage."

"Okay, there's no need to talk about such nonsense." Moriarty waved his hand again, "If I remember correctly, after getting permission from the elders, you still have to propose to the bride herself? Go now, no need to Wasting my time here."

"Yes, sir, I'll go right away." Hill said so, but didn't move immediately.

Moriarty immediately showed an impatient expression, and said displeasedly: "I seem to have forgotten to tell you, Hill Balotelli, the thing I dislike the most is guessing other people's minds, so, either tell me you If you still want to ask for something, or disappear from my eyes immediately."

"I just want to beg you...for the time being...don't tell...Kech about this." Hill was not pretending to be a gesture at the moment, but was really embarrassed to say it.

Moriarty didn't answer, but only looked at Hill with a half-smile, his face full of amusement.

At this point, Hill could only remind himself repeatedly: there is nothing to be ashamed of, you are facing an omniscient and omnipotent God, and you don’t need to have any emotions in front of Him, let alone be nervous, fearful, or shy.

"I beg you, don't tell Keech about this." Hill took a deep breath and said again.

"Begging me for such a small matter, do you think it's worth it?" Moriarty raised the corners of his lips, "You should know that I can achieve more for you."

—I'm afraid I won't be able to pay the price.

Hill never believed that there would be a free lunch in this world, and he dared not reach out to pick up the apple thrown by Moriarty.

"I don't know how to explain it to you, and I don't know if I can get your understanding, but—" Hilton paused, "I love him, although I have to marry another woman, but I really love him, as long as love him."

"You don't need to explain to me, and I don't need your explanation." Moriarty laughed mockingly, "Anyway, no matter what the result is, it has nothing to do with me, as long as...you think it's worth it."

"I..." Hill wanted to defend himself, but was stopped by Moriarty raising his hand.

"No need to say anything, I'm not interested." Moriarty said contemptuously, "But don't worry, I can assure you that nothing about you and my adopted daughter will ever leak from my mouth Get out—you should be satisfied with that, right?"

"Thank you very much for your understanding, Your Excellency the Marquis." Hill said with a bow.

"The word forgiveness means nothing to me." Moriarty shook his head and waved his hand again, "Since you don't ask for anything else, then stop wasting my time and disappear from my sight .”

"Sorry, Your Excellency the Marquis." Hill didn't dare to disobey, saluted Moriarty again, and then bowed and left the room.

Just when Hill was about to formally propose to Lizzy, Keech was flipping through the thick magic books in the book tower on the source island, looking for words and sentences related to space magic.

The full name of Yuan Island is the Island of Origin. It is a small island located in the southeast of the mainland, and it is also the real location of the Magic Association.Since the island is far away from the mainland, even magicians can only enter and exit through the teleportation magic circles of the local branches of the Magic Association.

But this is not due to the aloofness or pride of high-level magicians, but because the mental power and magic core required to open the teleportation magic circle are beyond the affordability of ordinary magicians, and even the Magic Association cannot squander it wantonly.

Except for the great magician who can use the teleportation magic circle at will under the condition of paying the magic core by himself, other magicians must first apply and obtain permission before using it, and they can only bring one person with them at a time.In the first year, Tina was unable to take Avella and Kiki to the source island at the same time for this reason, so she could only leave Kiki to Amir's care.

Today's Kiki is still not qualified to use the teleportation magic circle without authorization, but Barosh who brought him here is not subject to this restriction.When he learned that Kiki was very interested in space magic and even wanted to copy the teleportation magic circle, Barosh promised Kiki that he would use the teleportation magic circle to go back and forth between Assia and the source island once a month, thus To study the operation process of space magic, all the required magic cores are provided by her.

"Do you need any conditions?" Although Kiki was happy, he couldn't help but wonder.

"It would be great if you are willing to learn necromantic magic with me." Barosh shrugged, "However, it doesn't matter if you don't want to, just come and be my assistant when I need it."

"It's that simple?" Keech asked in disbelief.

"Do you have to add some harsh conditions like mountains of knives and seas of fire to make you feel at ease?" Barosh chuckled, "Don't think too much, the reason why I am so generous is because I am going to die, and there is no one around me. An heir who can inherit everything, might as well squander it on a young man like you, which can be considered as a contribution to the future of the Magic Association."

"Are you going to die?" Keech couldn't help being stunned.

"Yeah!" Barosh admitted nonchalantly, "If it wasn't for waiting to die, I wouldn't have returned to this cage-like island!"

"But..." Keech frowned suspiciously.Although Barosh's body was covered with "death energy" composed of undead elements, judging by her appearance and spirit, she really didn't look like a dying person.

"Don't believe it?" Seeing Kiki's doubts, Barosh giggled, "To tell you the truth, I am older than Fernando! I can live up to now thanks to the gift of necromancer magic, but A long lifespan will end one day, and birth, old age, sickness and death are the source of power for this world to go round and round. I can feel that death is slowly approaching and may come at any time."

"Is this a prophecy?" Keech muttered disapprovingly.

"No, this is the most precious intuition of human beings." Barosh shook his head solemnly.

Although he didn't take Barosh's death prophecy seriously, after entering the source island through the teleportation magic circle, Kiki still lived in Barosh's mage tower and stayed by her side as an assistant.

Tina was naturally very angry about this matter, and even refused to talk to Kitsch for several days.

Kiki didn't know how to coax her, but he didn't want to live in Fernando's mage tower like her.

Because of Freud's incident, Keech also became wary of Fernando, who also held the title of president.And during the New Year, Amir took him to live in the mage's tower in Baros, instead of living with Tina next to Fernando.In addition, when he came back, Amir told him that he could only ask Barosh for help when encountering problems, and not involve others. This made Kiki feel that Amir also trusted Barosh more than that. Fernando is always smiling.

Because of the above reasons, although Kiki really wanted to study the teleportation magic circle with Tina, he didn't want to live with her and let himself be under the surveillance of others all the time.

But his estrangement could not prevent others from approaching. On the afternoon of the second day when he and Barosh came to the source island, Fernando knocked on Barosh's mage tower and came to see him.

Keech didn't know if Amir had said something to Baros when he left Yani, but when Fernando came to visit, Baros completely assumed the posture of a guardian. Fernando was not given a chance to be alone with him.

Perhaps aware of this, Fernando quickly expressed his intention to come, and proposed to watch the curse-level magic scroll drawn by Keech—the Gate of Hell.

Amir used this powerful magic scroll as an excuse to send Kiki into the source island, and made Kiki prepare for various responses before leaving Yani City.Hearing Fernando's mention at this moment, Kiki immediately went back to the room to fetch a miniature version of the gate of hell, and put it in front of Fernando.

Fernando did not actually measure this scroll, but just glanced at the magic circle on the scroll intently, and then showed a surprised expression, raised his head and asked Kiki: "The magic circle on this is completely improved by yourself. ?”

"Well, use the deduction method Amir taught me." Kiki nodded expressionlessly.

"Magician Amir is really talented in the application of spells. If I have the opportunity, I should ask him for advice." Fernando said very humbly, "Of course, you are also very good, Magician Kiki. With this magic scroll, I should award you a special achievement badge of the Magic Association—by the way, I heard that you were qualified to participate in the senior magician assessment last year, but you gave up this time Chance, why?"

"Huh?" Kiki didn't expect Fernando to ask this question, and he hesitated for a moment before replying, "Amir thinks I'm too young, so there's no need to rush to advance."

"Level has nothing to do with youth. In the history of the Magic Association, there are many young people who have been promoted to great magicians in their teens!" Fernando said encouragingly, "Why don't you give it a try this year, just like you My younger brother, Magician Rocky, will also participate in this year's senior magician assessment, if the two brothers advance at the same time, it will be a good story in the history of magic..."

Before Fernando could finish his sentence, he realized that Keech's mood was wrong, and his expressionless face became colder and colder.

"Well, I'm sorry, I seem to have said something I shouldn't have said?" Fernando blinked and asked frankly, "Shouldn't I mention Magician Rocky? I heard that you don't seem to have a good relationship with him. Intimacy, when I participated in the intermediate magician assessment... something happened."

Fernando tried hard to explain, but Kiki just pursed his lips and stared at Fernando indifferently, without responding a word.

In the following time, Keech also remained silent, so that Fernando could only talk to himself there like singing a one-man show.Barosh next to him refused to help him, and sipped the black tea in the cup with great relish.

In the end, Fernando, who got no response at all, had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye, and took away the miniature version of the gate of hell made by Kidge, and left Kidge with a promise that he could go to the book tower to read books at will.

Keech didn't refuse the promise, and led by Barosh that night, he went down to the book tower to search for space magic that could be used.

But after searching for several days in a row, Keech couldn't find anything useful. He finally found a spell that was said to be a teleportation spell. It is like using fire magic in the deep sea, and there is no response from any element at all.

The most frustrating thing for Keech is that although Fernando opened the book tower full of forbidden books to him, he was not allowed to observe and practice the teleportation magic circle, as if he would accidentally destroy the teleportation magic circle.

Keech also understood that if space magic could be mastered so easily, the Magic Association would not classify it as lost magic, and Moriarty would not so definitely reject the possibility of him mastering space magic.

——Can we just wait until the next time we use the teleportation magic circle?

Keech was very unwilling, but he did not give up the opportunity to continue learning magic on Yuan Island. During the day, he went to the book tower to read books, and at night, he practiced what he read in the book in Barosh's mage tower. Ask Baros for advice.Barosh's knowledge of magic is more profound than that of Amir, and he is more patient, but from time to time, he bewitches Kiki to learn necromantic magic from her, which makes Kiki unavoidably irritated.

Because he always misses Hill in his heart, when Kiki is reading in the book tower, he always unconsciously pays attention to the magic tools and magic scrolls that can be used by ordinary people. use.

Although the Magic Association does not support magicians to pass on magic items to ordinary people, many magicians are doing this either explicitly or secretly, so this rule has not been written into the "Rules of Magicians". Can't give birth to the slightest deterrence.

Keech didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so.It just so happened that Barosh generously opened up the alchemy materials in her laboratory to Keech. In the name of practice, he made many magic weapons and scrolls that were easy to carry and hide, and then included them in the loss list. Prepare to bring it to Hill the next time you use the teleportation magic circle.

Soon, in this day-to-day study and practice, the day when Keech and Barosh agreed to use the teleportation magic circle also came.
