Tina quickly ran down the stairs with a happy face, obviously her request was met.

"My dear, you are too impatient." Amir said helplessly.

"Many people will definitely want to participate in this kind of event. How can we not get a seat in advance?" Tina shrugged and sat back in her seat cheerfully. "By the way, you will definitely go again, right?"

"Of course, I'm the guide," Amir replied with a smile. "Gordon will come too—do you remember him?"

"Well, isn't he the one who invited you to this expedition?" Tina nodded.

"Yes, but the manpower that others can find is not enough to enter the deeper tombs, so I was allowed to report the news to the Association. The price is to bring him in the follow-up exploration." Amir said, reaching out from the box and He took out a long box, put it in front of Tina, opened it and said, "Look at this, I wanted to give it to you just now."

Seeing the length of the box, Kiki remembered the scepter he saw last night. When the box was opened, what appeared in front of him was indeed the ancient short stick.

"Magic wand?!" Tina exclaimed in surprise, reached out to pick up the short stick she called the magic wand, and uttered the incantation of the fireball technique, a fist-sized fireball immediately came out in front of the wand Tina.

Tina showed a disappointed expression, "Hey, there is no booster, it's not a fire wand."

"It's not the wind element either." Amir continued.

"Kiki, take it and try water magic, just like water bomb." Tina stuffed the wand into Kiki's hand.

Kiki twitched the corners of his mouth, trying to control the water elements around him, and gathered them into water droplets while chanting the spell.

Seeing the drop of water in front of Kiki that was not as big as her own fireball, Tina curled her lips and said, "It doesn't look like a water system either."

"Then it can only be the earth type." Amir laughed.

"It may be of the dark or light type... um... no, the gem at the top is strengthened amber, and it is indeed the earth type." Tina took back the wand from Kiki's hand, then turned to Amir and asked, " Is it just this one?"

"Only this one is complete and usable, but I found this one." Amir took out another old papyrus from the box and put it on the table in front of Tina.

"How many things are there in your box?" Tina said angrily.

"I swear, this is the last one." Amir smiled and held up his right hand.

Tina snorted and looked down at the drawings.

Kiki next to him also stretched his neck to take a peek. The next moment, his head was covered with black lines because of the content of the drawing.

The blueprint that Amir shows Tina is the final draft that Keech drew last night.But at this time, the above pattern has been transferred to an old yellowed papyrus, and the color of the lines inside has also changed. The part that can be determined to use the material has become a color similar to the raw material, and the part that cannot be determined is the shade. Different ink colors.If it wasn't for the fact that the contents inside were exactly the same as the finished product he had drawn, Kiki would never have believed that this was actually made overnight.

——What is Amir trying to do?

Keech tried hard to control the expression on his face, not to let the corners of his mouth twitch too much.

"Uh, this structural diagram isn't exhaustive enough." Tina quickly saw some tricks, "However, it's enough for me to make a few samples for testing."

"That's great!" Amir smiled.

"It would be great if it can be made smoothly." Tina also said excitedly, "Making wands is also one of the lost skills. If it can be replicated successfully, it will be like adding a piece of history-it's really great to think about it. !"

"You can do it." Amir smiled and encouraged Tina, and then added, "If you succeed, you must make me a water wand as a reward for bringing back the blueprint for you!"

"Of course, I will do it for you first, and put my father second!" Tina replied with a smile.

——Is that thing that good?

Keech thought suspiciously, and then found that Avella on the side showed an excited expression, as if he was also looking forward to this magic wand.

——By the way, the effect of the magic wand is to increase. If a magic wand suitable for fire magicians can be made, Avella may be able to cast more curse-free magic.

Kiki was stunned, but immediately realized that the use of magic weapons was not allowed during the magician level assessment. Even if Avella could cast elementary magic, she would be disqualified from the assessment for violating the regulations.

——Unless, this magic booster cannot be discovered.

Vaguely, Keech felt that he had thought of something, but it was not clear enough.

Amir and Tina chatted until late, but Kiki went back to his room early, but lay on the bed tossing and turning, but couldn't close his eyes.

The day after tomorrow is the weekend, should he notify Hill to cancel the meeting, or bite the bullet and go his own way?Keech thought about it, and the microphone was repeatedly held in his hand, taken out and put back again.

It wasn't until dawn that Keech finally made up his mind: find a place where Tina was present to bring up the matter, and as long as Tina didn't object, he would go to see Hill.

Thinking of this, Kitsch fell into a drowsy sleep after a while.

When I opened my eyes again, it was almost noon, and the room was filled with dazzling sunlight, and there was an urgent knock on the door.

Kiki rubbed his eyes, put on his coat and opened the door, only to find that it was Avella who knocked on the door.

Seeing the door open, Kiki stood at the door sleepily, and Avella's expression immediately changed from anxious to helpless, and she made a gesture of "going downstairs to eat", then turned and left with her mouth pouted.

Kiki was stunned for a moment and then understood that Avella must have seen that he hadn't shown up and was worried that he would cause another accident, but he just overslept.

With a curl of his lips, Kiki closed the door, dressed and washed.

When Kiki came downstairs, lunch had already been set on the table, and Tina and Amir were sitting at the table, talking and laughing.Seeing him coming down, Tina immediately waved with a smile, "Sit down, little Kiki, I want to tell you good news."

Keech tilted his head, looked at Tina puzzledly, and then sat down on the chair.

"The matter of exploring the ancient tomb has been decided, Amir and I will go, and - you!" Tina announced enthusiastically.

"...when?" Kitsch couldn't help but get nervous, thinking, it won't be tomorrow or today, right?

"Next week, the more specific time has not yet been determined. After all, this is an exploration, and many things need to be fully prepared." As she was speaking, Tina suddenly laughed as if remembering something, "Don't worry, don't worry about it." It will affect your going out tomorrow."

"Going out?" Amir next to him raised his eyebrows and asked.

"And Hill." Tina explained.

Amir squinted at Kiki, without speaking, but his expression was the most obvious disapproval.

Keech lowered his eyelids from looking at him, thinking, I'm going whether you agree or not, and Tina has agreed anyway.

Tina also saw that there was a dark tide between the two of them, so she quickly interjected, "What's the matter, it's just going out for a day, he's at the right age to play now!"

"That depends on who you are with." Amir said indifferently.

"Hill is very good. Although he has a little more eyes, he has no bad habits, and his nature is not bad." Tina praised.

Amir didn't answer, but instead asked, "Do they often go out together?"

"Not at all, this is only the second time." Tina obviously wanted to help Kiki speak up, "Little Kiki has worked hard enough on weekdays, and he should go out to relax occasionally-don't forget, he Only 14 years old!"

"Well, dear, I didn't let him go out." Amir sighed helplessly.

"Did you hear that? You can go out and play without worry tomorrow!" Tina immediately turned her head to Kiki, and then added, "By the way, I'm afraid you will be outside for a long time this time, and you have to say goodbye to your friends—" — But you are not allowed to reveal our whereabouts to him, just say, you want to go out with us...to visit friends, and to learn a lot by the way."

"Yeah." Keech nodded.

Amir didn't say any more, turned back to the topic, and continued talking about the tomb exploration with Tina.

The next morning, Kiki got up on time, said hello to Avella, and left the Mage Tower alone.When he arrived at the gate of the association, Hill was already waiting by the side of the road alone like last time. Seeing him coming, he immediately waved to him with a smile.

Keech walked over quickly, followed Hill silently and got into the carriage.

"What's the matter?" Hill asked tentatively seeing that Keech was in a bad mood.

Keech hesitated for a moment, and finally told Hill everything about Amir's return and Amir's dislike of them being together, and then asked doubtfully, "Do you know why Amir doesn't like you?"

"Probably because I'm a nobleman." Hill shrugged calmly.

"But many magicians are nobles." Keech was not satisfied with such an answer.

"That's because I'm a nobleman, but not a noble magician?" Hill laughed before he finished speaking, "Don't take it seriously, I was just joking."

Keech scowled, as if he would not give up until he found the answer.

Hill had no choice but to sigh, and said helplessly: "Well, I have to admit that nobles, or most nobles have some very bad qualities, such as vanity and extravagance, such as rotten life, such as not thinking about making progress— —Apparently, His Excellency Amir is worried that you will develop such vices by being close to me."

"But you are not such a person, and I don't think you have such a bad habit." Kiki frowned.

"So, Magician Tina didn't stop you from interacting with me, did he?" Hill laughed, "Magician Tina understands me and trusts me because of it, and Lord Amir obviously treats me in some ways Be biased."

Kitsch sighed helplessly.

"Don't worry, dear." Hill coaxed, "Time will tell everything."

Kitsch bit his lip, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said, "You are my friend, not his, so, even if he doesn't like you, I won't break up with you."

Hill was slightly taken aback, quickly lowered his head and kissed Kiki's cheek lightly, and said with a smile, "I'm glad to hear you say that."

"I'm also very happy to be your friend." Kiki also smiled brightly, raised his head and kissed Hill back.

Hill happily grabbed Kidge's hands, and put his arms around his shoulders, holding him in his arms, but under the smile, there was endless self-mockery.

——If you knew what I was thinking and what I wanted to do to you, you would definitely hate me as much as Amir!

Hill thought to himself.

Since he would be separated from Hill soon, Keech didn't insist on where to go, and allowed Hill to bring him into the city of Assia.

Knowing that Kiki was about to go on a long trip with Tina and Amir, Hill also changed the original itinerary, took Kiki to a tailor shop, and tailored a few suits for him to wear during the trip new clothes.

"My clothes are all sent by you." Keech said with a little feeling.

"I hope you like it." Hill smiled on his face, but he was thinking in his heart that there is only one purpose for a man to give clothes, and that is to take them off with his own hands. Therefore, you can only wear the clothes I gave you, and then one day I took it off.

Keech certainly didn't know what Hill was thinking, but nodded seriously, "I like it, it's very comfortable to wear."

"That's good." Hill raised the corners of his mouth happily.

It was past noon when I left the tailor shop.

Hill led Keech to a hotel called "Golden Lotus", where the two had lunch together and ordered a bottle of "Blood of Roses" for Keech to enjoy.

"This place and Rose Manor are both owned by the Lehman family." Hill introduced, "If you want to taste the blood of roses, you can only go to Rose Manor or come here."

"Can't you buy some more to take away?" Keech asked casually.

"Of course, but..." Hill paused intentionally to tantalize his appetite before continuing, "Unlike ordinary wine, rose blood will not become more mellow with the baptism of years. On the contrary, after three months, it will lose its original taste and become unpalatable."

Keech sighed in disappointment, then quickly raised his head and asked, "Then, can I have another bottle?"

"I can buy a dozen for you to take back, but now, you can't drink any more." Hill refused without any room for negotiation, "If you go back drunk, let alone Amir, it's Dee Magician Na is going to start hating me too."

"Okay, okay." Keech picked up a large piece of steak depressedly and stuffed it into his mouth angrily.

This time, Hill didn't leave Keech to spend the night in the city and sent him back after lunch.The clothes they ordered were sent to the Magic Association the next afternoon.

Three days later, the list of people who went to explore the ancient tomb and the specific departure time were thoroughly determined. Kiki saw the name of Baros, but unexpectedly found that Avella was not on it.

"Avella wants to stay as a housekeeper." Tina explained.

Keech didn't ask why Avella was left behind instead of him, apparently Amir and not Tina was in charge.

——Amir wouldn’t have deliberately arranged this to separate him and Hill, right?

Although he knew that he was indeed more suitable to participate in such an activity than Elvira, but involuntarily, Kiki still came up with an idea that even he himself felt a little incredible.
