Mage's Secret

Trafael offered to sign the terms of the contract, and DeWitt finally felt relieved.A contract is different from a verbal agreement, once it is concluded, even a magician like Traphael cannot easily violate it.

The mage drew a few lines on the ground with his staff, and after reciting a difficult incantation, he whispered the conditions he agreed to the paladin, and after he finished speaking, he announced his name, and the ground that was originally empty suddenly appeared. A magic circle emitting a dim blue light.At this time, DeWitt also said his name, and as soon as the words fell, the magic circle spun up and gradually shrank into a spot of light, which submerged into the foreheads of the paladin and mage respectively.

The contract is considered a success.

"Now, can I take blood?" Trafael asked.

Devitt nodded, walked to Traphael and lifted his cloak, revealing Amos who was hugging his thigh tightly.

The little boy rested his head on the paladin's waist. Seeing that he was suddenly exposed in front of the mage, he hid behind DeWitt quite uneasy.

Looking down at his adopted son, DeWitt's cold aura softened. He patted Amos on the head encouragingly and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"I'm just taking a few drops of blood, I won't hurt you." Traphael also said comfortingly.As he spoke, he took out a small crystal bottle that was as long as a finger from his arms, and indicated to DeWitt and Amos that the amount of blood needed was really not much.

Amos raised his head and looked at DeWitt. Seeing that the paladin did not object again, he turned his head to look at the mage, opened his watery red eyes, and asked timidly, "Does it really not hurt?"

"Really," Traphael said softly, trying to make his voice sound more friendly and convincing, "I even have a way not to break your skin."

Amos sniffed, and it took a while before he finally nodded with his mouth pursed: "Okay, then I will trust you once."

He took a step in Trafaler's direction, but kept a hand on DeWitt's pants.He raised his other hand to the mage, and held out a finger.Although he just said that he believed in Traphael, the eyes he looked at the mage were still full of distrust.

Traphael walked towards the father and son who were facing the enemy, knelt down in front of Amos, and touched the boy's fingertips with the jewel of his staff.A red light flashed away, and at this time, a small half bottle of scarlet blood suddenly appeared out of thin air in the empty crystal bottle held in the mage's other hand.

"Okay, it doesn't hurt at all..." Traphael moved his staff away and said gently, but when he moved his eyes from Amos' fingertips to his face, Traphael Suddenly froze.

Amos was staring down at his fingertips curiously. His soft bangs were hanging down, and the two small horns on his forehead could just be seen through the gaps in his hair.

Probably the mage looked at Amos in a daze for too long, DeWitt coughed heavily, and at the same time drew Amos behind him.

Traphael also came back to his senses because of this, he stood up with his staff, put the bottle containing Amos's blood sample into the space, but took out a new bottle, and looked at the German who was about to see off the guest. Werther said, "Let me take a sample of your blood, too."

When the paladin recounted his experiences, Traphael did not ignore what he said had changed in him.You must know that Trafael and Murphy have been together longer than DeWitt and Amos.But none of the changes mentioned by the paladin happened to the mage, and Traphael's body was still the same as when he met Murphy, almost becoming weak.

Although it cannot be ruled out that the spells learned by the paladin are different from those of the mage, but just to be on the safe side, Traphael decided to take some blood of the paladin and analyze it.

"You didn't say you still need my blood sample." The paladin was a little wary.

The mage smiled calmly: "But aren't you curious, what happened to you? If demons really have an impact on the human body, don't you want to know what your physique has become?"

Obviously, DeWitt was also quite concerned about the changes in himself, so after hesitating for a while, he agreed to Traphael's request.

Using the same method, he took some of DeWitt's blood. Seeing that the strange father-son combination of paladin and demon did not welcome him very much, Traphael stopped staying and rode back to the mage tower.

Dinner time had just started when we returned to the Mage Tower, but Traphael couldn't care less about eating now, so he dragged Murphy, who was eating in the dining room, into the research room.

Looking at the empty-handed mage, Murphy asked with some concern, "Didn't you bring that child back?"

Traphael shook his head: "No, the paladin is very concerned about the child and refuses to let him leave with me. But I feel that the child's aura is very similar to yours."

After speaking, Traphael took out the two bottles of blood samples and handed one of them to Murphy.

Pulling out the plug, a familiar breath immediately filled the entire room.Murphy put the lid back at once, and held the small crystal bottle tightly, with a look of excitement on his face: "Yes, I can feel it, he must be my brother."

Murphy turned to look at Traphael with bright eyes: "When are we going to bring him over?"

"Tomorrow, I have another blood sample to analyze tonight," Trafal said, "but I don't think you're going to take Amos—that's what DeWitt gave him—to take away." Easy, in addition to DeWitt watching him very closely, he is also very dependent on DeWitt."

"How could a demon depend on a paladin?" Murphy's expression became very strange.

"Not only that, Amos was brought back to the temple by the paladins shortly after he was born, and he grew up there. I remember that you will feel very uncomfortable when you come into contact with the bright breath of the Temple of Light, but he will not be affected by those Holy light damage, do you know the reason?" Traphael asked.

"It's normal," Murphy explained to the mage, "Before the demons reach adulthood, they won't show too many demonic traits, such as the aura unique to demons, or their affinity for black magic and light spells." So those non-aggressive light spells can't hurt him, but they won't bring him any benefit either."

Traphael nodded, and continued to ask: "I remember that it has only been about four years since he was born, but when I saw him yesterday, he was already this tall." The mage stretched out his hand and gestured A height, "Human children can't grow to this level until they are seven or eight years old. Is this also due to different constitutions?"

"Of course, the environment in the Demon Realm is much worse than here. So the cubs grow very fast in the first few years after birth, so that they can get rid of the weak and weak state. But after they reach adulthood, the growth rate will slow down, so Let yourself stay in the most powerful young and middle-aged period for as long as possible, and will not age rapidly until you die. This is to ensure the maximum survival in the devil world. After all, those who grow slowly and age too fast The lineage was extinct long ago," Murphy said.

When Murphy spoke, Traphael kept looking at his smooth forehead, recalling the appearance of Amos, and finally Traphael couldn't help asking: "Why does Amos have horns on his forehead, but you don't?" ?”

Hearing this question, Murphy covered his forehead, but immediately put his hands down as if nothing had happened: "I, of course I have horns... It's just that I hid them. After all, I have horns on the mainland. It’s also very inconvenient to go to the event!”

Imagining Murphy regaining his red eyes and smiling evilly at him with the horns on his head, Traphael found his chest was a little hot, so he couldn't help asking: "Do you demons have horns? Your horns will Does it get bigger with age?"

But Murphy's answer was not so straightforward this time. He suddenly approached Traphael and asked, "You just said another blood sample? What blood sample?"

Traphael was taking a small crystal plate with a diameter of about ten centimeters off the shelf. He glanced at Murphy, who was approaching, and was a little puzzled by his sudden change of subject.But that was not a very important question, so he didn't continue to ask, but shook the bottle containing the blood sample of the paladin and said to him, "This is it."

Murphy followed the mage to the edge of the table, watched him put the plate on the table, then unplugged the crystal bottle, and poured the blood sample from the bottle into the plate.At this moment, Murphy smelled a strange yet familiar aura, so he asked, "Have you encountered any other demons?"

Hearing Murphy's question, the movement of Traphael's hands paused, "Devil?" He asked, looking down at the blood sample on the plate, "Do you mean this blood sample?"

"Yes." Murphy said, he put the small bottle containing the blood sample of Amos into his arms, walked to Traphael, leaned close to the plate and smelled it, looked up at Traphael and said: "Although the taste is not very pure, it definitely has the blood of a demon. I will never make a mistake about this."

"But this is the blood of a paladin..." The mage was a little stunned.He shifted his gaze from Murphy to the plate, and after a while he said in a low voice, as if talking to himself: "Now things are much more interesting."
