After the assessment was over, Keech immediately got permission to leave the sage's house.Kiki didn't stay here any longer, he packed his bags, walked out of the sage's house, and returned to Tina's mage tower along the "element imprint" he left when he came.

As soon as he returned to the Mage Tower, he was immediately warmly welcomed by Elvira.Seeing that he had put on the blue magic robe, Avella not only gave him a tight hug, but also cheerfully left a "wet" kiss on both sides of his cheek.

But Amir was not in the mage's tower. Kiki only found out after asking Avella that on the day he entered the sage's house, Amir left the mage's tower, leaving only Kiki's microphone and communicator to Avella. Vera, ask her to contact Kiki when he returns.

Kiki took over the microphone and communicator from Avella, hesitated for a while on whether to call Hill or Amir first, and finally thought that it was only afternoon, and Hill might not have time to talk to him. Instead, he picked up the communicator and adjusted the pointer on it to the frequency corresponding to Amir.

"It's over?" Amir's voice quickly came out of the communicator.

"Yeah." Kitty replied flatly.

"It seems to be going well." Amir guessed the result all at once.

"Some things happened in the middle, but it shouldn't have much to do with me." Kiki curled his lips, feeling very uninterested in the judgment in Amir's words.

"I've heard that the little guy from Lucifer's family hid the bloodberry potion in the candy and brought it into the sage's house, causing Samohail to lose face too." Amir said mockingly, "Your Brother, another apprentice of Summerhaile, how is he? Has he advanced successfully?"

"It wasn't his turn when I left, but I think he'll make the cut," Keech replied indifferently.

"If he doesn't pass, Samerhail won't have the face to ask for the priority of selecting apprentices in the next selection." Amir joked in a gloating tone, "Okay, baby Kiki, I'll go over with you at night Eat, let Avella prepare it, and then—do you have anything else to tell me?"

"Well... I also got a qualification certificate." Keech said hesitantly.

"What?" Amir's voice was obviously taken aback.

"A... certificate that allows me to participate in this year's senior magician assessment." Kiki became more and more anxious.

"What did you do during the assessment?" Amir's voice immediately cooled down.

"I didn't do anything, really, I definitely didn't do anything superfluous!" Keech assured with a strong promise.

"...I probably know what's going on." Amir snorted coldly, "We'll see each other tonight."

After speaking, Amir turned off the communicator.

At dusk, Amir appeared outside the gate of the Mage Tower.After Avella welcomed him into the Mage Tower, he informed Kiki, but Amir did not talk to Kiki right away, but followed Avella to the kitchen to check the evening dishes, and then took it calmly. Kitsch went to his room.

——Maybe that certificate is not a serious matter?

Keech couldn't help but start guessing.

Entering Kiki's room, Amir closed the door behind his back, turned around, and asked Kiki solemnly: "Do you need me to congratulate you? Kiki, an intermediate magician."

"...No need." Kiki heard the strong sarcasm in Amir's words, and immediately shook his head hesitantly.

"Very well, it seems that you are not proud of being a mere intermediate magician qualification." Amir nodded in satisfaction, raised his hand to signal Kiki to sit down at the table, and then took out a letter from his pocket , and handed it to Kitsch.

Kiki took the letter in doubt, opened it, and found that it was an invitation letter asking him to be the prince's guard, and the sender signed it as Sirius Borgia.

"How about it, are you interested?" Amir asked with raised eyebrows.

"No." Kiki raised his eyelids, becoming more and more confused, "You want me to accept?"

"No." Amir pulled the invitation back from Kiki's hand, and threw it into the trash can next to him, "I just use it as an opening statement-to let you understand what an intermediate magician will face .”

Keech tilts his head, waiting for Amir to continue to explain.

"Although you are not yet an adult, from today onwards, as long as you wear this magic robe, no one will treat you like a child." Amir sat up straight and said seriously, "And the next thing you will face It's just one thing: earning a living."

"Can't I continue to live here with Tina?" Keech asked sensitively.

"Okay, but do you intend to live like this forever?" Amir asked back, "Let me or Tina raise you forever?"

Keech hesitated for a moment, but said nothing.

"To be honest, it's not impossible." Amir shrugged indifferently, "It's just that, to eat my meal, you have to listen to me and let me manipulate you."

—Aren't I at your mercy now?

Keech twitched his lips.

"How about it, do you plan to go out to make a living by yourself, or let Tina and I continue to support you?" Amir asked.

"If I choose the former, would you agree?" Keech pouted back.He is not an idiot. Amir took him away from his family like a gamble, and deliberately arranged him with Tina. How could he let him go so easily?

Amir smiled happily, and did not answer Kiki's rhetorical question, but said to himself: "Tina hopes that you can go to the ruins and continue to help her, but there are a lot of valuable things that have been unearthed. , What I’m doing now is just some follow-up literature collation and academic research, which is a good job, but it’s not the job you need.”

"Just tell me what you want me to do." Keech couldn't help interjecting.

"Go out to practice." Amir said indifferently.

"Where? When?" Keech asked.

"Next month, I'm already in contact with people from the Adventurer's Association. The specific location and content will be decided soon." Amir replied, "I personally tend to go to the ice and snow forest to hunt monsters, but if it happens Someone posted a more suitable task, and I don't mind stepping in."

"That is to say, you will be with me?" Kiki immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"With your idiotic personality, who would dare to let you go out alone?" Amir glanced at him sideways, "Don't worry, no matter where you go, the journey will not be too long. During the Chinese New Year, I will accompany Tina Yuan Island is celebrating the new year, and you, too, will go there with us—by then, you can experience for yourself what it feels like to use the teleportation magic circle."

——Uh, how could he forget about space magic!

Kitsch blinked guiltily.

"However, since you are already an 'adult'—" Amir changed his voice, "it is not suitable for you to live in Tina's mage tower, especially when there is still an unmarried girl living here Down."

"Why?" Kiki asked in bewilderment.

"Avoid suspicion, don't you understand?" Amir twitched the corners of his mouth, seeing Kiki's still confused face, he couldn't help rubbing his temples, "If you don't understand, you don't understand, anyway, you can't continue to live here, eat Pack your things after dinner and move to my place tomorrow morning."

"Oh." Kiki nodded in a daze, got up and was about to tidy up his things, and immediately remembered another thing, then turned his head and asked, "What should I do with the certificate and the senior magician assessment at the end of the year? Give up? "

"Where's the paperwork?" Amir asked.

Kiki reached out and pulled out the parchment from the nearby bookshelf, and handed it to Amir.

Amir glanced at it, threw it into the trash can next to him, and said coldly, "You don't have to think about it until you are 18."

"Oh." Keech responded casually.He didn't think there would be any gap between intermediate magicians and advanced magicians. The reason why he participated in this year's intermediate magician assessment was just to get rid of that green magic robe earlier, but he couldn't help wondering why he You will get this certificate and ask for it.

"Why else, you performed so well." Amir snorted coldly, "If I'm not wrong, when you completed all the magic, you didn't show the slightest bit of fatigue, right?"

"It's just some intermediate magic..." Kiki muttered in a low voice.

In the absence of human interference, Kiki only needs to use his mental power to convey his commands to the surrounding magic elements when casting a spell, so that they can continue to operate on their own, without the need for extra mental energy like ordinary magicians. He used all his strength to continuously manipulate these magic elements, so of course he consumed much less mental power than ordinary magicians.Therefore, even though Keech's spiritual power and actual control over magic elements are at most the level of a senior magician, he can easily complete forbidden spells that even great magicians may not be able to cast.

"Yeah, it's just some intermediate magic!" Amir glanced at him mockingly, "It's just some intermediate magic, but among the 57 junior magicians who participated in this assessment, only 14 passed the preliminary test and finally got the intermediate magic. There are only five people with teacher qualifications."

Keech wanted to say that they were too weak, but after seeing Amir's expression, he decided it was better to keep silent.

"By the way, there is something I want to ask you—" Amir asked coldly, "Why did Prince Siris send you an invitation letter? And he had to entrust me to you when you passed the intermediate level." The magician will hand it over to you after the assessment, as if he has determined that you will pass the assessment?"

"Hmm..." Kiki's expression froze, he hesitated for a moment, and finally told what happened in Rose Villa—of course, ignoring the intimate interactions between him and Hill.

"That is to say, he discovered your strength?" Amir's face immediately turned ugly.

"I also discovered his secret!" Kiki pouted, "The red-haired kid next to him is actually an underage female dragon!"

"So you use each other's secrets as an excuse to form an alliance?" Amir sneered.

Kiki frowned, not quite understanding what Amir said.

"Obviously, this kind of idea must have come from the young master Balotelli. Fresh and tender cabbage like you can't think of it at all." Amir said through gritted teeth.

"Are we doing something wrong?" Keech asked suspiciously.

"That's right, or to be more precise, they did the right thing, and you are the only one to be swallowed up." Amir taunted unceremoniously in a contemptuous tone, "Don't worry, this After this experience, I will definitely choose a good place, so that you can fully understand when to use which magic, what to do, and what to endure!"

"Then..." Kiki hesitated for a moment, not because he was intimidated by Amir's threat, but what he wanted to say next made him feel that Amir might not agree, "Can I meet with Hill before we leave? "

"If I say no, will you obediently not go to see him?" Amir raised his eyebrows and asked back.

Keech blinked and didn't answer, but the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

"Sooner or later, you will be caught by that glib guy..." Amir suddenly stopped talking, paused, and then said, "I live in Char City now, and after I move there, you can fool around as you like. Alright, Hurry up and pack your things, I'll go take a look at Avella."

After speaking, Amir stood up and left Kiki's room.

——Does this mean you agree?

Kiki thought about it seriously, and thought it should be the meaning. He immediately turned around and opened the closet, and happily packed his luggage.

The dinner was extremely sumptuous, and Avella was also very excited. She kept recommending the dishes on the table to Amir and Kiki, and Kiki couldn't help feeling that she seemed happier than him.

But after learning that Kiki was going to move out of the Mage Tower tomorrow morning, Avella's mood suddenly fell.It wasn't until Amir coughed twice, pointing out in a teasing tone that Kiki had reached the point where he needed to "avoid suspicion", that Avella managed to squeeze out a few chuckles, and got a little better.

In order to further ease the atmosphere on the table, Amir changed the topic and asked about Avella's progress in pharmacy. In the New Year, because of Amir's unintentional suggestion, Amir finally gave up the hard work she had been working on. The scroll making that has not progressed has turned to learning potion preparation.

When it came to pharmacy, Avella finally became emotional again, expressing her recent progress to Amir with gestures, and thanked Amir for waking her up in time so that she would not continue in the field she was not good at. stumble.

——Tina seems to have given the same advice, right?

Keech thought uncertainly, but before he could recall when it happened, Avella's flipping fingers drew his attention away.

——Maybe, he can do something for Avella.

Reminiscent of the colorless element he used to know the way, an idea popped up in Kiki's mind - use those colored magic elements that can stay in the air for a short time to make a brush that can write in the air.If it can be done smoothly, although Elvira still can't get rid of her apprenticeship, at least she can get rid of the inconvenient notebook that must be carried around all the time.

——Go to the laboratory and try it later!

Keech secretly made up his mind.
