Kiki and Amir take up residence in Chimera's castle.Rafa was noncommittal about their arrival, and his attitude was not enthusiastic, but he did not restrict their actions, allowing them to shuttle freely in the castle.Instead, the three castle elves circled around them all day long, chattering about what was going on outside.

At the beginning, Amir chatted with the three of them with great interest. When he found out that they were just ordinary servants, not magicians or other special characters, Amir's interest suddenly dissipated, and he hinted that Keech took them Get rid of them and don't let them get in your way.

Hasari, who sent Amir and Kiki into the castle, upholds his duties as a gatekeeper, rarely showing up in the castle, and even staying in his small room during meals.However, there are only three of them who need to eat and drink in the castle. During the meal time every day, the three castle elves will directly deliver the food to their location, and they don’t need to go out to find it by themselves, and the restaurant in the castle is therefore in a state of inaccessibility. idle state.

Since living in the castle, except for wasting a little time with the castle elves at the beginning, Amir took Kiki to soak in the study left by Yeqi.Amir originally planned to read the notes left by Yeqi first, but after reading a few notes, he chose to give up because of the messy handwriting and unintelligible sentences on them.

"Don't worry, my dear, you are definitely a descendant of the same blood as him, and you even have the same writing habits that are unflattering." Amir complained to Kiki angrily, and then stuffed the notes back to the original At that place, I turned to look at those ancient books.

Although Keech felt innocent, he couldn't refute it. Since Hill left the Magic Association, he has never practiced calligraphy, and his writing skills are probably worse than this Yeqie.

Regarding every move, word and deed of Kiki and Amir, Rafa has always maintained a cold-eyed attitude.Until the third night, Kiki went back to his room alone, and was about to undress and go to bed, but Rafa suddenly came from the other side of the wall and looked at Kiki with a smile, obviously wanting to say something.

Kiki immediately put his hand into his pocket, looking as if he was wary of Rafa, but in fact he held the communicator in his pocket calmly, and adjusted the scale on it to Amir's frequency.

"Master Kiki, we need to talk." Rafa said as expected.

"What are you talking about?" Kiki asked indifferently, and his fingers quietly opened the communicator to keep in touch with Amir.

"Of course it's the magician you brought." Rafa said with a smile, "Do you trust him?"

"Compared to trust, I think it may be more appropriate to describe our relationship as indifferent trust or distrust." Keech replied blankly.

"Has it surpassed trust and turned into dependence?" Rafa raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "I thought the person you brought would be your young female mentor, but I didn't expect the person who came last It's her fiancé, well, this feeling is really... indescribable."

——How did Rafa know that his mentor was a woman?

Kiki was slightly startled, and soon remembered that Zoe and Loren had communicated with Rafa the last time he came, and there was a magic weapon in the castle that could contact the Magic Association. It was actually possible for Rafa to find out about this Nothing unusual.

"What are you trying to say?" Keech frowned displeased.

"I just want to remind 'you' that it's better not to give away things like trust. The reason why the Chimera family declined is because they gave too much unrestrained trust to others." Rafa said word by word. , "Believe it or not, little master Kiki, the magician named Amir can't be satisfied with a few magic books."

"It's inbreeding that really made the Chimera family decline, right?" Kiki curled his lips. "Okay, you should talk to him about these things. He must be more interested in listening than I am."

As Kiki said, he directly opened the door with his ability, and let in Amir, who had been eavesdropping outside for a long time.

Rafa's expression was not rich. Seeing that the person he had provoked was standing aside, his face just froze for a moment, and soon recovered his usual smile, smiling slightly and bowing to Amir, "Good evening, Amir the Sorcerer."

"Good evening, Your Excellency Rafa." Amir didn't mean to be angry at all, and also bowed and saluted, and then said with a smile, "It's like the Kiki magician said, some things, it's better for the two of us to talk directly. "

Rafa twitched the corners of his mouth, and asked noncommittally, "I wonder what Magician Amir wants to talk to me about?"

"Let's start with what you want to do in return for the two magic cores Kiki gave you, how about?" Amir said with a smile.

Rafa's expression suddenly became stiff again.

After some verbal negotiations, Amir and Rafa finally reached an agreement on many things. For example, no matter whether Rafa recognizes Kiki as the master or not, he must be called the master, especially in public, and he is never allowed to be in the same place again. Add the word "small" in front of the owner.Similarly, as the owner of Chimera Castle, although Kiki will not deprive Rafa of the right to manage it, he must also retain the right to live here and the right to control all property here, and he can come here at any time , without permission from Rafah.

At one point, Rafa wanted to persuade Kiki to take back all the property that once belonged to the Chimera family, Yamela, and the property occupied by the Magic Association. refuse.

But after refusing, Amir immediately told Rafa that Kiki would become the president of the Magic Association as a consolation, and implicitly hinted that as long as Kiki became the president of the Magic Association as a descendant of Chimera, the Everything left will naturally return to his hands, and the Yalong Emperor will also take the initiative to return the territory, so as to maintain the continued cooperation between the Yalong Empire and the Magic Association.

"One more thing, Lord Rafa, please don't forget." Amir reminded, "Kiki is not the only heir of the Chimera family, he has three brothers and sisters, and a father whose whereabouts are unknown. If Chimera’s property is claimed back, how much will Kiki get? Maybe it doesn’t make any difference to you, but I’m just Kiki’s guardian, and I only think about his interests.”

Hearing what Amir said, Rafa smiled wryly, "I really didn't expect that there would be a day when brothers would fight against each other in the Chimera family—no, it should be said that there would be brothers in the Chimera family—this is really a surprise." A happy misery!"

——The only one who can "compete" is Rocky!

Keech secretly slandered, and suddenly remembered that Xiu Qi might still be with that Darren, but he didn't know where he was and what he was doing.

When Keech was distracted.Amir and Rafa continue their conversation.Once the main issues have been agreed upon, it is easier to compromise on other minor issues.As the atmosphere gradually became more harmonious, the two of them got off topic while talking, and talked about the inheritance and changes of magic.

When he learned that Rafa was also a great magician during his lifetime, Amilton's eyes lit up, and he brought up the fact that Keech was about to face the test of the forbidden spell, and asked if Rafa could provide one or two things that Kidge would be able to do. A forbidden spell used by Qi.

"Forbidden curse, of course I knew it before, but now, I don't know if I can still remember it." Rafa sighed pretending to be vicissitudes.Rafa did not hide his bleak control over the elements - Keech had tried it long ago, and he had no choice but to hide it. Without the important guarantee of the body, even if transformed into a lich, it would inevitably lead to a decline in mental power In the soul state, although he is immune to most magic, he can no longer use difficult magic.

"A high-level magic core for a forbidden curse." Amir simply offered the price.

"Deal!" Rafa immediately smiled, and asked Amir to prepare a pen and paper to record the spell.

Hearing the deal between Amir and Rafa, Kiki's heart skipped a beat, and he interrupted and asked, "Apart from the forbidden curse, do you know anything else?"

"What do you mean?" Seeing Kiki, who had been silent all this time, suddenly speak, Rafa immediately stopped reciting half of the incantation with great interest, and turned to look at Kiki.

"For example, is there any way to fool a person who could not pass the magician level assessment?" Keech continued to ask.He thought of Avella who had always wanted to be a real magician. Because of her embarrassing apprenticeship, Avella even avoided Rachel, who was just a junior magician, so as not to be ridiculed by her and touch the sore spot.

"It depends on which level of assessment it is. If it's the great magician assessment you are doing, then the difficulty of cheating is a bit high." Rafa said with a smile.

"It's just a junior magician assessment, but the assessment is very strict, and there is a body search. Tools such as magic weapons are definitely not acceptable." Kiqi said with a straight face, "Also, that person can't recite spells, Must use unspell magic, or make it look like she is using unspell magic."

Hearing this, Amir immediately understood Kiki's intentions, and frowned disapprovingly, but he didn't say anything to stop him.

"Magic talent is still there?" Rafa asked a little embarrassed.

"Of course, it's just that my mental strength is a little weak, and I can't recite spells." Keech nodded.

"In that case... use the magic pattern!" Rafa paused for a while before clapping his hands.

"Magic pattern?" Kiki was slightly taken aback, feeling unfamiliar with this term.

Amir's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is it a magic pattern that draws a magic circle on the body to improve the sensory power of the elements?"

"Yeah, why, this thing is also lost?" Rafa raised his eyebrows and asked.

"There are still books that record the samples of the magic pattern, but no one knows how to draw it on humans and make it effective." Amir shrugged.

"It's a pity, I'm not good at this either." Rafa shrugged pretentiously, but immediately changed his voice, "However, there is such a book in the master's study, and if I remember correctly, the master still keeps it. A few research notes on the magic pattern."

As he spoke, Rafa stood up, floated towards the bookshelf, and quickly took down a hardcover book and a few notebooks from it.

"Can this thing be replaced with a magic core?" Rafa asked with a smile.

"I'm afraid you will be disappointed, Lord Rafa. According to the agreement we just made, Kiki has the unconditional right to control all the items here." Amir smiled slightly, raised his hand and released a whirlwind, and Rafa's hand The hardcover books and notebooks were rolled up.

Although he has obtained a method that may help Avella pass the elementary magic assessment, the most important thing to deal with right now is Kiki's own forbidden spell assessment, and Rafa provided him with a mixed forbidden spell of water and light: Goddess of Fate's tears.

Although the name of this magic sounds good, the effect is not good at all.After this magic is used, there will be drizzling rain in the sky, which looks soft and graceful, and can't be associated with the ferocious and explosive forbidden spell. However, the rain is mixed with light elements that can destroy any dark elements, which makes Any living creature bathed in this rain of magic cannot escape the doom of death, and the result has the same effect as the dark curse "Blood of Vengeance".

Since he no longer needed to recite the spell, Keech quickly mastered the forbidden spell and conducted a small-scale test in the lake outside the castle.

Kiki and Amir were relieved after finishing the last forbidden spell, but before they could be happy, Amir found an ancient book called "The Collection of Forbidden Curses" in Yeqi's study, which recorded All the forbidden spells up to Yeqi's era, "Tears of the Goddess of Fate" are even more impressive.

After reading this book and this spell, Keech and Amir suddenly realized that they were "tricked" by Rafa into getting a magic core.

But it was too late to get annoyed at this time, and the magic core had already been sent to the magic circle by Kiki's monkey for storage, and it was impossible to recover it. What remains, it is the fleece that sprang from the sheep" to comfort myself.

After living in Chimera's castle for more than a week, Keech finally received the exact date of the forbidden spell assessment, requiring him to arrive at the Asshai Magic Association in five days, and then go to the assessment site to conduct the forbidden spell assessment.

At the same time, Amir also got the relevant results of this year's senior magician assessment.As previously guessed, the Magic Association started arranging Kiki's forbidden spell assessment after the senior magician assessment was over. In this year's assessment, only two magicians successfully completed the promotion, and among them, Keech's younger brother, Rocky, is not included.

"Your younger brother passed the written test with full marks, but only completed five advanced spells during the magic test, which is half of the required number." Amir relayed to Kiki, "However, at his age, he can His mental strength and elemental control are not bad, and he is worthy of the name of a genius."

"Do you need me to help you add the second half of the sentence?" Kitsch pouted.Having been with Amir for a long time, he can naturally hear that Amir's words sound like compliments, but they are actually just hints: Although Rocky is talented, he does not have the power of a Chimera, and he is even more incomparable. comparable.

Keech didn't take Rocky's failure in the senior magician assessment to heart, and settled down to recharge his energy for the forbidden spell assessment five days later.

The day before the official assessment, Kiki returned to the Asshai Magic Association by airship accompanied by Amir.

Maybe it's because the senior magician assessment has just ended, or it could be because the new year is coming, and the great magicians haven't started to arrange new schedules for themselves. The magicians gathered in Yasha very leisurely, preparing to witness Kiki's forbidden spell assessment. Most of them rushed over through the teleportation magic circle after consuming a high-level magic mirror.

On the day of the assessment, the airship carrying everyone to the assessment site was even more lively. In addition to more than 20 great magicians who acted as witnesses, there were also assistants and apprentices who brought them to increase their knowledge.If it weren't for the consideration of safety during the assessment, each great magician could only bring one entourage to watch, and the number of people on the airship would have doubled.

Both Amir and Tina were among the entourage, but Amir followed Baros, and Tina was recorded under Fernando.

Perhaps to avoid suspicion, Tina only greeted Kiki when boarding the airship, and then did not come to bother her again. Amir also stayed away and did not accompany Kiki.However, given that Amir was nagging almost all night last night, Kitsch wished that he would not come over at this moment, so that he could enjoy a little more peace and quiet.

Soon, the airship arrived at the location of the forbidden spell assessment, a huge empty valley.

It was already winter, and the vegetation in the valley had already withered and turned yellow, but in order to judge the lethality of magic, the Magic Association had already sent people to the valley in advance to put a large number of cattle and sheep and a small number of low-level monsters.However, according to the rules, the range that magic can reach is the first criterion for judging a forbidden spell. The magic cast by a magician participating in the great magician assessment must cover the entire valley before it can be judged as a forbidden spell. No matter how lethal the magic is, it must be regarded as a failure.

Of course, during this period, the magician must also ensure his personal safety. If the forbidden spell is cast, but the caster himself is also killed by the forbidden spell, then there is no need for the witnesses around him to judge him.

Looking at this strange valley, Kiki involuntarily took a deep breath, drove the monkey out of the obsidian bracelet, then walked up to Amir, entrusted the monkey and the bracelet to him for safekeeping, then turned and walked towards Fernando, Body search before the examination.

Seeing the appearance of the monkey, there were inevitably exclamations and discussions on the airship, but seeing that the assessment was imminent and it was not a suitable time for exploration, the great magicians took the lead in restraining their minds and controlling the emotions of the entourage.

After checking Kiki's body and making sure that he didn't carry any items that could be used to cheat, and that he didn't need the magic association to provide forbidden spells, the airship landed in the valley, put Kiki down, and then took off again, carrying other People go to the mountains farther away and keep a safe enough distance from here.

Kiki settled down, mobilized the wind element, and flew to the cliff on the outer edge of the valley, where Amir suggested to him.

——Relax, it's just a forbidden spell, it will definitely succeed.

Kiki took a deep breath again, closed his eyes, and placed himself in the vision of the supernatural power.
