——Inspiritualism?

Hearing this term, Keech couldn't help being stunned.This is the black magic that magicians are forbidden to learn, let alone use, in the "Rules of Magicians". Violators will be severely punished by the Magic Association - deprivation of life.

Barosh did not explain the seriousness of this magic to the two knights, but only told them that Louis was probably just a victim rather than the real culprit. For the sake of Louis' safety, they could only continue to imprison him.

"I can assure you that as long as it is proved that the knight's injury to the Kiki magician was not out of intention, we will never touch his hair. On the contrary, we will try our best to dispel the spell on him." Barosh said, "But you must also swear by your knight's creed that you will never leak what you saw and heard today until the truth is revealed."

When they heard that these magicians only wanted to imprison Louis instead of executing him, the two knights breathed a sigh of relief. After receiving further assurance from Barosh, they immediately raised their right hands and made an oath without hesitation.

After receiving the promise of the two knights, he tied Louis on the ground again and tied him to the bed. Barosh left the basement and went to his room to get some anesthetics, made Louis fall asleep, and then took out the worms and dead spirits in his body Elements, leaving only two knights to continue guarding here, and he took Amir and Kiki back to the room on the surface.

Walking into the room where he was temporarily staying, Barosh closed the door, turned around, and said in a solemn voice: "This matter is very serious."

Keech didn't make a sound. He didn't need to express his opinion on this kind of matter, and he didn't know what opinion he could express at all.He only knew that using the forbidden technique was an extremely serious crime, but why and how serious it was, he had no idea in his heart.

But to Kitsch's surprise, Amir didn't speak. He just put his hands into the sleeves of the magic robe, with an indifferent expression and a dignified expression.

What surprised Keech even more was Barosh's next words.

"Don't pretend to be dumb. If you know something inside, tell me right away, and don't wait until the situation is out of control." Barosh said coldly, "This matter must not have anything to do with you, right?"

"I don't know." Amir said blankly, "That's the only answer I can give you."

Baros didn't answer, and the eyes under the hood seemed to glance at Keech, and then said: "Maybe we need to talk alone."

"There is no such need." Amir refused coldly, "Besides, rather than interrogating me, you should send someone to investigate the movements of the Holy See. It may be a priest who is also good at soul magic."

"It's the Holy See again?!" Before Barosh answered, Kiki exclaimed in surprise.

"Again?" Barosh asked sensitively.

"Before Midsummer's Day last year, Kiki was attacked by the Holy See, and it was later discovered that it was a dead soldier sent by the Holy See." Amir replied first, "This is also the main reason why I hope you can investigate the Holy See."

"It happened once last year, why don't we know about it?" Barosh asked suspiciously.

"Because the young master of the Balotelli family was attacked at the same time, neither Tina nor I can determine whether the attack was aimed at Kiki or the Balotelli family." Amir replied.

— Hill said it must be aimed at him.

Kiki blinked and did not refute Amir sensibly, but he still couldn't help but interjected, "Well, can you explain, what exactly is insanity?"

"Little guy, don't you usually read books or go to the library?" Barosh jokingly asked, "It seems that on the next magic day, I have to suggest adding a little theory to the magic assessment. common sense."

"Magic day?" Kiki heard another term that he didn't understand at all.

"Shut up, I'll tell you alone tonight!" Amir also felt that his face was lost, and he was already in a bad mood, so he stopped talking immediately.

"Okay, don't take your anger out on children, it will make people think that you are still a child." Barosh said disapprovingly, but his tone was much more relaxed than before, "Since you have nothing to do with this matter , then I don’t have to worry about anything, just go ahead and let the responsible person take responsibility.”

Amir was noncommittal and fell silent again.

However, Barosh suddenly changed his voice, "However, if the last attack was aimed at Kiki, then this time the target might be him, not Tina as we thought—is there anything about this little guy that deserves the attention of the Holy See? secret?"

"Maybe the Holy See doesn't want us to have too many geniuses?" Amir answered with raised eyebrows.

"Hehehe, he was just a junior magician at Midsummer's Day last year, right? Can a 15-year-old junior magician be considered a genius?" Barosh asked with a strange smile.

"Who knows what the people in the Holy See are thinking?" Amir shrugged.

"Okay, okay, since you bastard deliberately muddy the water, then I won't bother you." Barosh said pointedly, "Take your precious genius back to recuperate, the next thing , and you don't participate anymore."

"As I wanted." Amir replied indifferently, reached out and grabbed Kiki's neck, and dragged him out of Barosh's room.

—What kind of charades are you playing?

Kiki followed Amir back to his room in a daze.

Watching Amir lock the door, Kiki suddenly realized that there were only the two of them in the room again, and immediately ignored the charades and stared nervously at Amir, for fear that he would do what he did that day again.

Amir ignored him, found a chair and sat down on his own, then pointed to the opposite bed, and said indifferently, "Sit down, I have something to talk to you."

Kiki looked at it hesitantly, but he didn't go there in the end. He pulled a chair from the side and sat down far away from Amir.

Seeing Kiki's performance, Amir raised the corners of his mouth jokingly, but he didn't tease him like before. He waited for Kiki to sit down before he said, "I heard from them that when they were looking for you in the past, You've been worried that there are other assassins around - why?"

"What...why?" Keech asked hesitantly.

"With your strength, you won't be able to tell if there are other people around?" Amir raised his eyebrows and asked, "Don't talk nonsense, tell me, what made you think that there are other assassins around?"

Kiki opened his mouth, feeling that there was no need to hide his feelings from Amir, so he told the story in detail.

"Just feeling it?" Amir asked with a frown.

"It's not wrong, when you look at me with the projection crystal, I feel the same way." Keech pouted.

"Now, do you still have that feeling?" Amir asked.

"...It's gone." Keech shook his head.

"I can only feel it, but I can't find the source?" Amir continued to ask.

"It took a lot of effort to chase the source, and there was no time at all." Keech pouted.

Amir didn't speak anymore, but his expression became more and more gloomy.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Kiki couldn't help but ask, "Could it be some kind of magic?"

"As far as I know, there is no magic that can use the sun to spy on others." Amir glanced at Kiki, said indifferently, and then changed his voice, "However, there is a magical technique called 'Holy Gaze' The spell is very similar to the situation you described, it can only be used during the day, and within a limited range, it can transmit all the places where the sun shines into the eyes of the caster."

"Is it really the Holy See?" Kiki asked in surprise.

Amir didn't answer, but said indifferently: "Don't tell anyone about this, keep your mouth shut, I owe you a favor."

Hearing this, Kiki was stunned for a moment.He never thought that Amir would say such a thing to him, although... the attitude is still as bad as ever.

Kitsch bit his lip, hesitated for a while between asking or not, and finally decided to change the subject, and asked instead, "What kind of magic is the insanity that Barosh mentioned?"

"In the general knowledge of spells for intermediate magicians and below, insanity is included in the ranks of black magic, but in fact, it is a type of soul magic, and has no substantial connection with black magic such as necromancy. ’” Amir said indifferently.

"Soul...magic?" Kiki frowned, feeling that he heard too many new terms today.

"In your current concept, the magic system is probably divided into the four elements of wind, fire, water, earth, natural magic and black and white unnatural magic, right?" Amir asked.

"...The "Introduction to Elements" and "Inheritance of Magic" you gave me are written in this way." Keech pouted.

"That's just a regular book for ordinary magicians to read. In the most high-end magic theory, the so-called magic is actually the pursuit and application of laws. The magic of the four elements of wind, fire, water, and earth responds to the laws of nature. The essence of black magic is actually The exploration of life, as for white magic, its origin comes from the power itself." Amir said as if reciting, "In addition to the above three magic systems, there is another one that is beyond the law, and can even be said to violate the law." The magic system of all laws, this is the soul magic I mentioned before."

"What the hell is it?" Keech asked in bewilderment.

"As the name suggests, magic about the soul." Amir said slowly, as if he didn't want to bring up the topic, but after a pause, he continued, "Soul magic is not magic for the soul, or rather Say, it's not just for the soul."

Keech became more and more confused, and looked at Amir helplessly, hoping that he could describe it more clearly.

"The origin of soul magic is the soul itself. Some of it, like insanity, can have good or bad effects on other people's souls, but more often, its effects are similar to the magic of the four elements of wind, fire, water, earth, and black and white magic. They are very similar, except that the latter follows the law, while the former is created out of nothing." Amir continued, "Of course, the premise of all this is-you believe in the existence of the soul-if you believe it, it exists; if you don't believe it , it disappeared without a trace."

"Divinity." Keech blurted out.

"Yes, magic." Amir nodded, "Many magicians think that magic is a kind of white magic, because most magic involves light elements or the law of power. But some magicians are more I am willing to classify divine arts as soul magic, and believe that divine arts are the purest form of soul magic."

"You...incline to the latter?" Keech asked tentatively.

Amir was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I hope I'm wrong."

For a moment, Kiki suddenly had a strange idea, and immediately asked boldly: "Why... I have a feeling that you actually know the truth."

"I said it, and I hope I'm wrong," Amir said again, looking up at the ceiling.

Kiki bit his lip, and finally couldn't help but said: "The assassins from last year were not after me, and neither is this one today, I'm sure."

"I know." Amir said indifferently, "Those people from last year wanted to kidnap Hill, but they were disturbed by you."

"How do you know?" Kiki opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"The Lord Messenger told me." Amir turned his head and looked at Kiki with a calm expression. "You should have guessed it, and you guessed it right. He is the only priest who was here last year and this year."

Kitsch opened his mouth, but found himself unable to utter a word.He did guess that at last year's anniversary celebration, Darren looked at Tina with weird eyes, but this year, when he learned about the relationship between him and Amir, that kind of eyes became easy to understand.

——It's just that kidnapping Hill and assassinating Tina seem to have nothing to do with each other!

Keech couldn't figure it out, and asked the question out.

"Because it didn't matter at all." Amir said, "The kidnapping of Hill was arranged by the Holy See, and Darren was carrying out the order, but today, it was his private act."

"Why are you so sure?" Keech hesitated even more.

"No one in the Holy See knows that he knows soul magic, and it is impossible for him to let them know." Amir replied blankly, "Because even in the Holy See, insanity is a taboo spell that blasphemes the soul."

"But, as you said, he doesn't know how to use magic." Keech said suspiciously.

"Obviously, I was wrong again." Amir said self-deprecatingly.

Kiki stared blankly at Amir, and after a while decided to bring the topic back to the incident itself, "Then, how do you explain to Tina? And Barosh, does she know something?"

"Barosh knows about Darren's existence, but she's not sure if he has mastered soul magic, let alone that he has joined the Holy See." Amir sighed inaudibly, "As for Tina, she won't know , and don’t need to know.”

"Can……"

"The one who is really hurt is you, isn't it?" Amir interrupted Kiki's questioning, and said word by word, "So, the person I really need to explain and explain is you, not her."

Keech bit his lip, frustrated that he couldn't argue, and didn't want to.

After a pause, he could only turn to say: "But now you have brought the matter to me, what if Barosh really investigates, or even finds out my matter?"

"What should I do?" Amir raised the corners of his mouth and said meaningfully, "My dear baby, did you make a mistake? Although Chimera is a dreadful surname, it is neither dirty, It's not a taboo, on the contrary, in the world of magicians, it represents the sublime and the ultimate. Families like Lucifer's attempt to get their hands on it is only for the purpose of possessing it, not destroying it."

--Uh?

Kiki was stunned for a moment, this was indeed quite different from what he thought.

"If Barosh can really find out your bloodline and prove it... Believe me, you will become the prince of the magical world, a more noble existence than Siris." Amir continued, "The reason why I hide Your lineage, concealing your strength is just because I am unable to prove your orthodoxy, and I cannot convince the world, and you are too young, so it is easy to get lost in the face of temptation. But instead of waiting for the opportunity, it is better to seize the present, perhaps, Right now is a good opportunity to let the world know the truth and let you get everything you deserve."

Hearing these words, Keech was utterly dumbfounded.
