This time, without Amir's assistance, the expedition of Gordon and others was even more difficult than the previous one. Two masters were sacrificed before the first floor was detected, and three people were trapped in the mechanism on the second floor. Life and death are unknown, including Tim Qi, who has always been by Gordon's side.

In order to rescue Tim Qi, Gordon can only send an emergency request to Amir, and ask him to come and help with a lot of money.

Amir knew the secret of the underground palace, so he also knew that it was definitely not a place that he could handle alone, and he had to rely on the power of the Magic Association to ensure safety.But right now, Amir can't produce any evidence that can prove the extraordinary value of the underground palace, and it's impossible for Fernando to send him people based on his one-sided words.

After a little hesitation, Amir decided to take Kiki to rescue Tim Qi first, and then find the wand and bring it back as evidence, so that Fernando sent someone to the lower level to get rid of the zombie lich.

But this time, Amir is not going to ask Kidge to draw the structure diagram of the wand anymore, but only intends to find some materials and ask Kidge to copy a wind wand for him alone.As for Darren, this time he will definitely not get another light wand that can please his boss, and whether he will not be able to be reused like last time because of this is even more out of Amir's consideration.

After thinking about it, Amir immediately called his coachman, took Kiki into the carriage, and left the Magic Association.

Keech looked a little excited and seemed curious about the adventure.This surprised Amir somewhat, because the last time he wanted to take Kiki out for practice, Kiki always looked reluctant and unhappy.

Is Keech's personality changed?still……

Amir frowned, and quickly realized that it wasn't Kiki's character that had changed, but that there was one less person around him that made him reluctant to leave because of nostalgia.

Amir couldn't help but secretly sighed, stretched out his hand to pull Kiki into his arms, kissed his forehead, and introduced Gordon to him on this trip, as well as the relationship between Gordon and himself.

Amir has never defined Gordon as a friend, and he believes Gordon is the same.They came together entirely because of their interests. The reason why they have been able to cooperate until now or even in the future is just because both parties feel that the other party is strong enough and trustworthy enough. stabbed himself in the back.

"Gordon is a very powerful warrior. When his companion is rescued, I will let him show you the power of a warrior." Amir promised.

After all, the speed of the carriage could not be compared with that of the airship. Amir and Kiki took a few days of bumps to reach their destination - the so-called golden tomb.

"Where is the tomb?" Jumping off the carriage, looking at the endless wasteland in front of him and the dirty tents not far away, Kiki asked suspiciously.

"Under your feet, the tomb is buried in the soil." Amir replied, "If it is really a tomb."

While the two were talking, the bald-headed Gordon had brought someone over to meet him, greeted them briefly, and then couldn't wait to ask Amir to go to the "tomb" to save people.

Amir didn't delay any longer, and walked towards the entrance of the underground palace with Kiki.

Since Keech didn't like the green color of the primary magic robe, Amir made some ordinary clothes for him.When they came out this time, neither Amir nor Kiki were wearing magic robes, and Gordon didn't pay much attention to Kiki at the beginning, seeing that Amir was going to take him down with him, he asked suspiciously: "Is he also a magician? "

"A freshly baked junior magician." Amir smiled slightly, "Don't worry, he is much more powerful than your accomplices. If something unexpected happens, I'm afraid I'll have to rely on him!"

"Come on, is a junior magician better than a great magician like you?" Gordon rolled his eyes, and immediately said, "By the way, I forgot to congratulate you on being promoted to a great magician, that—congratulations! "

"You might as well double the reward this time, so that I will feel that your congratulations are more sincere." As Amir said, he jumped off the underground palace first, and then opened his arms to catch Kiki who jumped down after him. in arms.

Although it was the second time to enter this underground palace, Amir did not feel much vicissitudes of revisiting his old place.As long as Amir thinks of a group of disgusting zombies stepping on his feet, and a lich that has rotted half of his body, Amir can't wait to take Kiki out of here immediately, and throw this beautiful-sounding but "rotten" place to others enjoy.

Since Amir has never dabbled in auxiliary magic research such as alchemy and magic circles - after all, last time, there were two professional masters who were good at this field, so he didn't need to study hard by himself. Later on, the more he pursued the "bringing doctrine"—this time, in order to teach Kiki, Amir had to learn some superficial things, and it would be fine to fool Kiki on weekdays, but it is absolutely impossible to use it to deal with this underground palace .

Fortunately, Gordon and the others have already completely opened up this section of the road, and Amir also brought a cheating Kiki by his side, and the group finally arrived at the location where Timzi and others were located smoothly.

Maybe it’s because of death. Although Timzy and others were trapped in that institution for nearly a week, there were no deadly poisons or dangerous goods inside. Timzy and others waited tenaciously with the little dry food they carried with them. rescue.

Amir didn't know how to open this mechanism, but he was accompanied by Kiki, who could control any element. Mu Qi and others were freed.

Gordon hurriedly ordered the men to carry Timzi and others out of the underground palace, but Amir did not leave immediately. He asked for a guide from Gordon, wandered around the underground palace that had been opened, and soon found the tree that had been discarded in the underground palace. On the floor, at first glance, it looked more like an earthen magic wand that had fallen off some piece of furniture.

Amir was wiping the wand with the whirlwind technique while thinking about how to persuade Gordon to cooperate with the Magic Association. At this moment, Keech grabbed his clothes and sent the sound directly into his chest with the element of wind. ear.

"There's something strange under the ground," Keech said nervously.

Amir was slightly stunned and realized that Kiki must have "saw" something, raised his hand to scratch his black hair, and comforted him, "Don't worry, we won't go down."

"Do you know what that is?" Keech asked curiously.

"I don't know, but I can guess—there is only one possibility for the dark elements gathered in such a density." Amir leaned down and whispered in Kiki's ear, "There are zombies below."

Kiki froze immediately, raised his head in surprise, and looked at Amir.

Amir smiled, said nothing more, and led Kiki to leave the underground palace and return to the tent built by Gordon and others.

It didn't take Amir much to convince Gordon.Three people were seriously injured, and the result of two deaths had already left Gordon with lingering fears. When he heard Amir say that there might be more dangerous things underground, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​continuing to explore and sold this place instead. Bargaining began on how much benefit the Magic Association could get.

"You should talk to the Magic Association yourself about this kind of thing!" Amir would never pay Gordon out of his own pocket to compensate Gordon. The location here will not be disclosed."

"You run on me, without you, I can't even enter the gate of the Magic Association!" Gordon also knew that he could not have a dialogue with the Magic Association without going through Amir, let alone an equal dialogue, so he could only sigh helplessly In a low tone, he asked to participate in the next expedition and asked Amir to contact the Magic Association a few days later.

Amir readily agreed to such a request, and Gordon acted immediately, asking his men to search the first and second floors that had already been explored, and take away everything that could be exchanged for gold coins.

Amir had already got what he wanted most, so he didn't stay and continue to share the spoils with Gordon. He only asked him to prepare the reward he should give himself, and then took Kiki back to the Asshai Magic Association, pinching Time reported to Fernando about the underground palace.

This time, Amir did not hand over the wand, but only picked up a few damaged magic weapons from the upper floor of the underground palace as evidence.However, his identity is quite different from last time. As soon as he took out the incomplete magic weapon as a great magician, he attracted the attention of the source island. Fernando didn't even send the members of the Shadow Council there first like last time. Confirmed, a magician investigation team was directly organized and rushed to the underground palace that Amir said.

The members of the investigation team were not much different from the previous one. The alchemists Zoe and Baros were both on the list, and Tina was not absent, and Avella was left in the Magic Association just like the last time. bring.

Seeing Tina again, Amir inevitably felt a little embarrassed.Fortunately, Tina obviously didn't want to talk to him, and there wasn't much necessary interaction between them, but Kiki saw his embarrassment and asked him in a low voice, "Is she the one who slapped you?"

Amir nodded helplessly, without denying it.

Kiki didn't say any more, but just looked at Tina a few more times, revealing a kind of unfriendly gaze that Amir was very familiar with.Amir couldn't help remembering that this little guy had the "bad habit" of revenge for others without authorization, so he hurriedly pulled him aside, explained and then coaxed him: "Don't worry, my dear, although the slap is a bit harsh, it can bring peace Break up, I don't lose."

Keech didn't make a sound, but his expression was obviously a bit reluctant.

"Kiki, we are men!" Amir had no choice but to persuade him from another angle, "Don't be as knowledgeable as women!"

This sentence was recognized by Kiki, and he nodded immediately, expressing that he no longer cares about this matter.

Amir was speechless for a while.

Perhaps because there are no women around this time, Keech obviously lacks the chivalry spirit of "ladies first" compared to last time. On the contrary, the patriarchal thinking that he has acquired in his hometown is quite serious, and he has a kind of attitude towards women. Obvious contempt.

After realizing this, Amir decided to "educate" Kiki properly - it is good not to like women, but to look down on women will suffer a lot in the Magic Association.Although there are not many high-level female magicians, because women's spiritual power is inherently stronger than that of men, female magicians are obviously more powerful and troublesome than male magicians at the same level.

On this point, Baros is an excellent proof.

Amir originally planned to send people to him and take Kiki away, but as a combat-type great magician, he still failed to escape the fate of cleaning up the zombies, and made himself stink of corpses again.

After the high-level magicians processed all the zombies in the underground palace into "corpse parts", Kiki and other low-level magicians were still called down to help clean up, and Amir had to stay as a "supervisor" to prevent the underground palace from being destroyed. There was something more dangerous in it - even though he knew it didn't exist.

When Kiki faced the bones in the underground palace, he was as calm as last time. Amir asked tentatively, and got the answer "you can't see it if you close your eyes".

——Yeah, you can only see magic elements when you close your eyes, so naturally it doesn't matter if it's disgusting or scary.

Amir couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After realizing that he could not get out of the underground palace in a short time, Amir began to think about how to use this time to let Kiki learn more about magic, especially in alchemy, so that he could help him make the wand smoothly after returning. Come out, don't even be unable to judge what material should be used where.

However, within a few days, Amir discovered that Kiki's interest in alchemy was not as strong as last time, and even far less than scroll making, which made Amir a little puzzled.

"Magic scrolls are more practical!" Keech explained, "When the enemy thinks that your mental power is exhausted and you can no longer cast magic, you suddenly throw a scroll to blow the enemy away. It feels so unexpected. Prestige!"

——Have you read too many legendary novels recently?

Amir thought twitchingly.

Since the "Magician Code" prohibits magicians from participating in wars and killing each other, except for those magicians who love adventure and hang out with mercenaries at every turn, there are actually very few other magicians who need to fight. Most of the scrolls are used by wealthy warriors or nobles, which is also the root cause of the proliferation of low-level scrolls and the rarity of high-level scrolls—magic scrolls that can carry high-level magic cannot be used by ordinary people.

Amir was about to correct Kiki's misunderstanding, but Kiki continued: "Besides, magic scrolls can be sold for money. If one day you don't want me, I can also support myself by selling scrolls."

"You...how could you have such an idea?" Amir was stunned for a moment.Last time, although Kiki didn't even know what the gold coins looked like, he never bothered about money issues. Whenever he wanted something, he would reach out to him directly—perhaps more often it was Xiang Xi. Er reached out.

"You can't support me forever, I will be independent after all, won't I?" Keech tilted his head and said.

"Why can't I support you forever?" Amir immediately pulled Kiki into his arms and asked pretending to be annoyed, "Did someone tell you something that made you think wildly?"

"What Molly said, people who have become official magicians can no longer receive subsidies from the Magic Association, and their mentors will no longer provide them with free board and lodging. They have to find ways to support themselves." Kidge slightly He said anxiously, "Why do you still support me? Is it because I am young?"

—Molly?

Amir frowned, remembering that this was the name of an assistant beside Zoe, a junior female magician, because of her level, she often did the same work with Kiki when cleaning the underground palace.

"Kiki!" Amir immediately lowered his face, "Don't you trust others more than me?"

"I do not……"

"When did I say I was going to kick you out? I just said that from now on, you are my everything!" Amir held Kiki's face, stared into his eyes, and said word by word, "I Will never leave you or let you go, unless, you want to leave me-Kiki, my Kiki, do you want to leave me now?"

"I don't have one!" Keech argued, "I just think it's embarrassing for me to be supported by you when other people can earn their own living..."

"So, if being with me would make you feel ashamed, will you leave me?" Amir asked meaningfully, narrowing his eyes.

Kiki was startled, but quickly shook his head firmly, "I don't think so, and I don't care what other people think!"

"Then what do you care about now?" Amir asked with raised eyebrows.

"I don't know...whether you think the same way." Kitsch pouted innocently.

"If I would think that way, I wouldn't bring you back!" Amir raised his hand and hugged Kiki to his lap, wrapped his arms around his waist, grabbed his right hand with the other, and put it under his lips. He said like a promise, "You can think about how to make a living. Although you will never need to do that, I will never allow you to think about how to leave me! Even if your magic level continues to improve, and even become the same as me Great magician, you also have to stay by my side, forever, forever! Do you understand?"

Keech looks at Amir in bewilderment, but finally nods.

No matter why Amir said such a thing, and whether it was because of ulterior motives for him as Xiu Qi said when he was threatening him, Kiki felt indifferent.

He liked it, and liked the feeling of being so deeply needed.
