"However—" Kiki paused, then continued, "I still don't understand, how can you be sure that the position of president will be vacated soon?"

"Because Fernando is arranging the funeral." Amir was still half-kneeling beside Kiki, holding his hand, and replied with an unchanged smile, "To be honest, Fernando doesn't like me as his son-in-law, but Fan With a little leeway, he would just try to separate Tina and me, rather than urge us to get married."

"I think I can understand him," Keech said with a curled lip.

Amir smiled, did not refute, and continued: "But he is going to die, so he started to worry about Tina. You know, with Tina's character, if it is not because she has a president father who is a great magician, I am afraid Her current life will be worse than Elvira's. So, I told Fernando that a senior magician is not enough to protect his daughter."

"Floyd is also a great magician." Keech reminded.

"Yes, but he is only Tina's uncle, and he is also a nobleman who values ​​the interests of the family and the empire. He can even give his own sister to an old man like Fernando. You can still count on him to protect Tina, make her happy?" Amir said mockingly, "Fernando would rather bet on me than entrust Tina to her mother family. Now, I pointed out another better choice for him --you".

"As Tina's apprentice, you can't control Tina's fate like Freud, but you can provide her with the shelter she needs. Moreover, Fernando should have realized that with your blood and strength, as long as you become The great magician is the best candidate for the next president, so that Tina can continue to enjoy the glory of the eldest princess in the magical world and continue to live the happy life she wants to live." Speaking of this, Amir slightly With a smile, "And I was finally able to escape and return to your side."

"Why do you seem to believe that I must be able to inherit that position?" Keech said with a frown, "I'm only 16 years old, not even an adult!"

"This is exactly where your advantage lies." Amir replied, "Among the current great magicians, there is no one who can compete with Fernando or even replace him in terms of prestige and power. Last year, I am afraid that no new president could be elected. At this time, a young person with pure blood, outstanding talent, no background, no influence, and no ability to dictate to everyone and harm everyone's interests suddenly appeared. You said, Will everyone choose him, or choose the enemy they hate or even hate?"

"...I think you will make everyone regret it." Kiki said indifferently.

"That's for later." Amir laughed jokingly, and then changed his voice, "Actually, I didn't intend to push you to the stage so early, but the situation forced me to seize the opportunity."

"I'm afraid I won't be an obedient puppet, Amir, you have to be mentally prepared." Kiki narrowed his eyes.

"Have you ever been obedient?" Amir raised his eyebrows and asked back, then smiled and held Kiki's right hand again, and kissed lightly, "I don't need you to be obedient, my dear, I only need your 'existence'."

Keech lowered his eyelids, but did not answer himself.

After a "frank" exchange and agreement on the future, Amir asked about the magic core.Keech didn't mention Moriarty, but only asked Amir for a few elementary magic cores, and demonstrated it to him directly, fusing several elementary magic cores together to become an intermediate magic core.

"Such a thing can only be done by Chimera." Amir sighed, and then said, "What about the blood of the rose, can't it be used?"

"No." Kiki shook his head, took a cup of rose blood, condensed the dark elements inside into a soft magic core, and put it in Amir's hands.In this process of holding and releasing, the outer shell of the magic core has been broken, and all the elemental essence inside has been scattered and disappeared into the air.

"Is there something wrong with the shell?" Amir asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yeah." Keech nodded, "The structure is exactly the same, but...it just doesn't work."

Amir pondered for a while, and quickly said: "I'm afraid it has something to do with time. Warcraft are not born with magic cores. They must live to a certain age and be strong enough to generate magic cores in their bodies."

Kiki was startled slightly, but Amir guessed the key to the matter all of a sudden.

"However, it's just wine made by ordinary people, and it can contain dark elements, which is weird enough." Amir continued to himself, "This year is too late, remember to remind me to come again next autumn Come here, let's take a good look at the brewing process of this wine."

Keech didn't speak, but he made up his mind that even if he could remember this matter next year, he would never remind Amir.

In the morning two days later, Amir and Kiki left Rose Manor, took the simple carriage to the Magic Association of Assia, and planned to use the teleportation magic circle to go to the source island.

"...No matter what, get the title of great magician first." Sitting in the carriage, Amir told Kiki again, "When you arrive on the island, don't argue with anyone, even if someone says Don't pay attention to any ugly words, write it down, let's settle the score after the autumn, don't rush at this moment."

Keech listened silently. As for how much he listened to, even he himself was not quite sure.When Amir was rambling, he was wandering in the sky, and he suddenly came back to his senses when he heard Qiuhou settle accounts, and turned his head to ask: "Amir, you just found me and brought me back to the Magic Association because of your current plan. Is it?"

Amir was startled for a moment, then shook his head with a quick smile, "I remember I told you that when I knew Tina, I didn't know whose daughter she was."

"That……"

"When I met Tina, I really just wanted to be an ordinary man, find a good woman, get married, have children, and enjoy my family. The reason why I participated in the selection of magic apprentices was just to improve myself The contribution to the Magic Association has left a good impression on those great magicians.” Speaking of this, Amir smiled self-deprecatingly, “In the end, I met you, a person who seems to have no magical talent, But from head to toe, including facial features, you are exactly the same as the legendary Chimera, the descendant of the gods. What's even more wonderful is that you are small and easy to raise, which made me feel... bad thoughts."

— Breeding?

Hearing this word, Kiki couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, resisting the desire to throw a fireball at Amir, and raised his eyebrows and asked, "You don't believe my blood is just because of my appearance, do you?"

"Of course not." Amir smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hold Kiki's chin, stared intently into his eyes, and said word by word, "I tested it, but you didn't notice it, just like... now. "

--Now?What does Amir do to him now, it seems that he can only touch his hands?

Keech was confused when he heard that, but soon his heart moved, and he blurted out and asked, "Are you using soul-stirring?!"

Amir raised the corner of his mouth, let go of Kiki, and said with a smile: "In fact, soul magic is much simpler than elemental magic. There is no question of whether you can learn it or not, only what you are good at and what you are not good at."

Hearing this, Kiki finally fully understands that the insanity, which belongs to soul magic, will not have any effect on people with Chimera blood, and this is the real basis for Amir to judge his blood.

Keech didn't ask Amir why he concealed his insanity skills - this kind of life-related matter, who could only do his best to conceal it, asked instead: "Why do I have no response to insanity skills? , Is it just because of bloodline?"

"I can't guarantee that my answer is correct, and I'm afraid it won't make you like it." Amir shrugged and paused before continuing, "According to the guy who taught me the insanity, it's because Chimera has no soul—without a soul, naturally it cannot use soul magic, nor can it be harmed by soul magic."

Keech listened silently, and was not surprised by this incident. On the contrary, he had an epiphany of "ah, it really is so".

——Soul, this is the difference between a human and an inhuman, and it is why Moriarty always classifies him as an inhuman!

——However, what is the difference between having or not having a soul?

Keech was recalling Moriarty's description of the soul, but a feeling of being peeped quietly rose, which made him raise his brows and turned his head to look out the car window.

"What's wrong?" Amir asked suspiciously.

"I feel...something is looking at me." Kiki closed his eyes while talking, and used his ability to probe out of the carriage.

Keech never missed the feeling, Amir immediately opened the car window and sent a warning signal to the driver driving ahead.

The speed of the carriage slowed down immediately, but it did not stop.

Kiki also opened his eyes quickly, and said to Amir: "It's the forest ahead, there are five people inside, three warriors, and two magicians."

As soon as Kiki finished speaking, the driver in front also said, "I'm afraid there is something wrong with the woods ahead, Your Excellency."

"Keep going, don't worry about it." After finishing speaking, Amir turned his head and asked Kiki, "Don't do anything yet, see what they plan to do first."

"If so, what do they want to 'do'?" Keech asked emphatically.

"Kill warriors, control magicians - magicians can fight, but can't kill, remember this, my baby." Amir said emphatically, "for a while, let me demonstrate for you personally - of course , the premise is that if they really have malicious intentions and come towards us."

While speaking, the woods and the carriage were getting closer and closer, and Kiki simply closed his eyes and used his abilities to monitor every move of those people.

As soon as he changed his field of vision, Kiki found that the three warriors had raised their bows and arrows and aimed at the driver in front of the carriage. The two magicians also began to chant spells, obviously intending to attack.

Keech immediately ignored Amir's suggestion to wait for the opponent to strike first, and decided to strike first.Just to kill the warrior and control the magician, it is definitely not enough to use only one kind of magic, so Kiki directly released five ice tombs to control all five people.

"It's done, let's demonstrate." Kiki opened his eyes and said to Amir.

Amir gave him a meaningful look, but without speaking, he stretched his hand out of the car window again, sending a safety signal to the driver in front.

The carriage immediately sped up and drove into the woods, and stopped at the corner where an ambush was hidden.

Amir pushed open the door and led Kiki out of the carriage. The driver in front also drew his long sword from under the seat and jumped down.

As soon as they entered the woods, five ice tombs and five terrified men came into view.

Seeing the blue-robed mages in the two ice tombs at the back, Amir immediately raised the corners of his mouth and chuckled, "Aha, this isn't the Bataroti mage and Tiffany from the Lucifer family." Magician? I never expected to see you here."

"Amir magician?" The two magicians who were called out by Amir were surprised at first, and after looking at each other, they immediately put on an innocent expression, and said pleadingly, "Help get rid of this damn thing, We're locked in and can't work magic!"

Hearing this sentence, Amir's smile suddenly became brighter, "You two, haven't you ever thought about why you were locked in there?"

"How do we know..." The expressions of the two magicians changed again before they finished speaking, "It's you? You——what do you want to do?!"

"I should be the one to ask you this question, right?" Amir shook his head pretentiously, then turned to Kiki and said, "Since they are members of Lucifer's family, their purpose can also be imagined Alright, the other three guys are useless, just deal with them."

Kiki curled his lips, disapproving of Amir's commanding tone, but still squinted his eyes, but instead of using the more proficient freezing technique, he issued a "burst" to the fire elements around the three warriors The command.

There was a series of loud crackling noises, and the inside of the ice tomb was already full of flesh and blood, and the violent fire element turned the three warriors into three piles of flesh in an instant.

"Yo, I've really become smarter, I don't know what to do." Amir said teasingly.

Kitsch snorted, and then canceled the three ice tombs covering them.

Amir also smiled, turned a blind eye to the tragedy in front of him, turned around and said to the two magicians who had already been terrified and paralyzed in the ice tomb, "Okay, you two, it's your turn."

"No! You can't do this to us! We are magicians, and magicians can't kill magicians!" one of the magicians shouted hysterically.

"Correct me, magicians can't kill magicians for no reason, those who have hatred are not included." Amir said with a smile.

"If you dare to touch a single hair of our hair, the Lucifer family will not let you go!" Another magician immediately changed his threat.

"Strange, why should I let the Lucifer family know that you died at my hands?" Amir asked back with a smile.

"Of course they know, we are—" the clamoring magician fell silent halfway through his words, and looked at Amir with even more frightened eyes.

"What is it? Are you here to assassinate us? Did the Lucifer family send you to assassinate us?" Amir asked with a sneer, and the two magicians immediately shut their mouths and refused to speak again.

"No, no, if it's really your family's envoy, there won't be so few people sent, let alone you two middle-level magicians." Amir shook his head, his smile became more ferocious, "Tell me, what happened?" thing?"

Facing Amir's questioning, the two magicians put on a posture that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and refused to open their mouths.

"Forget it." Amir shrugged, and then pretended to be too lazy to ask, and made a gesture of obliterating Kiki directly, and blinked while doing this gesture, sending his voice to Kiki with the wind element. In Keech's ear, "Scare 'em."

Kiki looked back at Amir with a pair of blank eyes, but before he could make a move, a magician couldn't control his panic and screamed first, "You can't kill us! We are magicians, Lucifer The magician of the family! Kill us, neither the Magic Association nor our family will let you go!"

"You two, the same sentence, why should I let them know?" Amir said mockingly, "You don't have to scare me, today's incident is obviously a private operation, your family must not even know where you are now." Do not know at all."

"They know, of course they know!" The magician quickly told the whole story regardless of his companion's stop.

It turned out that since Moriarty's death, there has been a battle for the Marquis throne within the Lucifer family.According to the family practice, only senior magicians and great magicians can inherit the position of Marquis, but in the current Lucifer family, there are not many outstanding magicians, not one big magician, and none of the high-level magicians. With the title, the strengths of each other are similar, only Winston has been managing the family territory, and can slightly win in terms of prestige.

But for some reason, Winston seemed to regard the title of marquis as a hot potato, and directly gave it up, refusing to accept it.As a result, the competition for the title as the head of the family became more and more intense and fruitless. In the end, Winston came forward and put forward a condition for the ownership of the title—to kill Keech.

"Since there have been special cases like Lord Moriarty, it doesn't matter if there is another one. I believe everyone can see that the level of magic does not mean strength. As long as someone can kill Kitty Chimei La, avenge Lord Moriarty, then he can become the heir to the Marquis, even if he is only a junior magician." Winston, who is both an earl and a senior magician, said in public.

Winston's seemingly simple proposal, which was not difficult to implement, was immediately approved by the Lucifer family, and the clan members who had been throwing dirty water at each other and crushing each other immediately turned their attention to finding Keech.It's just that after Moriarty's death, Keech never showed up in the Yalong Empire again, and even Amir who was with him disappeared.It wasn't until a few days ago that Amir finally appeared at the Asshai Magic Association that his and Kiki's whereabouts were revealed.

After receiving the news, Batarodi and Tiffany took the lead in taking action, and ambushed here with three warrior guards, trying to kill Amir and Kiki by surprise.In their view, even if Amir is a senior magician with strength close to that of a great magician, he can't deal with the attacks of five people at the same time if he doesn't have time to chant spells.As for Keech, who killed Moriarty with just a dagger, they didn't pay attention to it. They only regretted that they didn't realize that Moriarty was so fragile earlier, otherwise they would have done it themselves. It's Kitch's turn.

Of course, the result of this sneak attack was something they hadn't expected earlier.

After hearing what they had said, Amir smiled slightly and said to Kiki, "Get rid of the ice tomb."

Keech didn't understand why Amir did this, but felt that he would never let them go, hesitated for a while, and finally dissipated the two ice tombs.

Seeing the disappearance of the ice tomb, the two mages immediately beamed with joy, their courage also grew, and they were about to leave the woods.

"Wait, did I say you can leave?" Amir lowered his face and stopped them coldly.

"You—what else do you want to do?!" The two magicians clenched their wands nervously.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. A magician killing a magician, which violates the "Magicians' Code", will cause trouble even if there are legitimate reasons." Amir said meaningfully, but he hadn't waited for the two The magician breathed a sigh of relief. He narrowed his eyes and continued, "So, I will let others do it."

Before Amir could finish his sentence, the driver in black, who had been standing beside him, drew out the long sword in his hand, and with a flash of cold light, it slashed towards the throats of the two magicians.
