Mage's Secret

The sun rises very slowly in late autumn. At this time, the sky has not yet become dazzling, and even the dew on the tips of the leaves on the treetops has not yet melted away.Nakaron—the streets and alleys of this medium-sized city near Yadunis are already crowded with all kinds of people, and the flow of people is endless.

Today is the Nabo Festival, one of the most important festivals of the empire. Before dawn, people in small villages or towns near Nakalun have already got up and gathered in the city to participate in the celebration.

At this time, Elvis was walking on the street with people coming and going, his gloomy face was like a sharp knife that could break through flowing water, causing passers-by to give way one after another, forming a circle within a seven-foot radius around him. A circle of vacuum.

Elvis didn't care about the strange gazes cast by the pedestrians around him. His eyes were fixed on Murphy who was walking in front of him and looked full of interest, his face was dignified as if he was facing an enemy.

When Murphy invited him to participate in the celebration that day, he had already sternly rejected him, but today, he was still tied here by Murphy.

It is no exaggeration to use "tied" to describe the treatment he suffered this morning.

At that time, even the slightest white light had not appeared in the sky, and Elvis was still sinking in a sweet dream. All of this was as normal as the countless mornings in the past. When it seemed to be calm, Elvis suddenly felt a cold body, and he was still in a drowsy sleep. He didn't know what happened, and felt that he was pulled up from the bed by his arms.

Someone kept whispering in his ear, the voice was familiar, but he just couldn't remember who it belonged to, only felt a moment of almost instinctive disgust.He was grabbed by the owner of the voice and doing mechanical changes of clothes with his hands, but he was still entangled in sleepiness. It was too early for him to get up at this time, and his hands were still on the buttons of his shirt on his chest He closed his eyes again, and soon fell asleep again.

The person who dragged Elvis out of bed was of course Murphy.After he was rejected by Traphael a few days ago to go to the celebration, although he did not confront Traphael again because of this matter, he did not give up the idea.

Fortunately, Traphael seemed to have lowered his level of vigilance a little because of his cooperative attitude. At least he didn't keep an eye on him all day long, but he was in private at the door of his room and Yadonis's. A magic circle is set up on the front door, and Traphael will sense it as long as these doors are opened.

Murphy quickly noticed these relatively concealed magic circles, and of course he knew what Traphael's intentions were.There are no decorations such as reliefs and patterns on the outer wall of Yadunis, and even the window sills of the ordinary apprentice's room have no prominent design, and Murphy's room is several hundred feet above the ground, and Murphy can't fly, so look It seems that if Murphy wants to get out of the tower, it seems that the only way is to go out of the room and go out through the door.

But this was just a look. After noticing Traphael's design, Murphy immediately felt relieved—Traphael didn't have an intuitive understanding of his strength, so he used human ability to estimate his strength. ability.Ordinary humans would probably be trapped by these, but for him, it was not difficult to get out through the window.

So, he calculated the date and sneaked into Elvis' room through the window on the morning of the festival, intending to take him into the city together.

Murphy once considered sneaking into the city alone, or finding other apprentices, but he quickly rejected such an idea.He doesn't know enough about human society, he can't have fun playing alone, and taking individual apprentices is likely to cause trouble again-although in his opinion this is a good way to pass the time, and Traphael is very concerned about The reaction to this matter is also very interesting, but if it has been played, it will not be worthwhile if it causes a strong rebound from Trafael and makes him ruthlessly attack him.

So Elvis became his best candidate.Elvis is the most innocent of all, even if he accidentally behaves abnormally, he can easily be fooled.Although Traphael had warned him very sternly that he was not allowed to touch Elvis, but judging from the current situation, among all the students who would come into contact with Murphy, Traphael was most at ease. Possibly Elvis.And from the perspective of Murphy's own subjective wishes, he also likes Elvis the most among Yadonis - he is much more interesting to tease than his teacher.

In Murphy's vision, this might be the most difficult part of his whole plan, so he originally thought that after waking Elvis up, he might have to take some tough measures to get him out of the tower.

But now, Murphy felt a little speechless looking at Elvis who fell asleep again in front of him. He didn't expect a person who seemed so aggressive to be so vigilant.

So he buttoned up Elvis' half-dressed shirt by himself, hurriedly put on his coat and cloak, picked Elvis up and walked towards the window.

"I'm going to jump." Murphy whispered to Elvis, and as expected, there was no response.

So he stepped directly onto the window sill, hugged Elvis who was unconscious, and with a little force on his feet, he jumped out like a big black bird.

The gust of cold wind blowing across his cheeks and the strong sense of weightlessness woke Elvis up from his sleep immediately. When he opened his eyes, he saw the rapidly rising tower and the farther and farther sky in front of him, as well as Murphy's Zhang made his teeth itch with hatred.

He wanted to question and scream, but the palpitating feeling of falling made him unable to open his mouth. He could only watch Murphy step on the branch with an unbelievably light posture, startling a large number of birds looking for food in the morning Son.The branches are bent, but they also have an excellent cushioning effect, so there is not much bump when landing.

Elvis lay stunned between Murphy's arms, as if he forgot to struggle because he was too surprised.He watched the flocks of fleeing birds chirping in the air, and the woods returned to a frightening silence after a brief din.

But soon, he realized that he was being hugged by Murphy and jumped out of the window of the room.He began to try to break free from Murphy's embrace, and Murphy let him go cooperatively.

As soon as his feet landed, Elvis immediately patted the place that Murphy had just hugged with his hands, as if there was something dirty there.Although he didn't know exactly what method Murphy used to sneak into his locked room, he thought it was necessary to mention the safety of the Mage Tower to the teacher.

After tidying up his slightly messy robes, Elvis looked up at the figure in front of him that caused both him and the teacher a headache.

But faster than he yelled was Murphy's hand covering his mouth.

"Don't be so excited, you'll wake everyone up," Murphy said.

Elvis looked at him angrily. If it was loud, the outrageously loud bird song just now was enough to wake up a group of people.But he didn't want Murphy to continue touching him, and he couldn't move Murphy's hand covering his mouth, so he just nodded bitterly.

Seeing Elvis' movement, Murphy let go of his hand.

With his mouth free, Elvis immediately asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do?!"

"Don't be so excited," Murphy said. "I just wanted to go to the city and see it. You know, I've always wanted to go."

"Then why are you dragging me?" Elvis looked quite angry.

Murphy folded his arms with a smile, looked at Elvis's angry face and said, "I also want to cooperate with your teacher, I think it's better for him to feel relieved if someone follows me than I go alone. "

Elvis rolled his eyes. In his opinion, such words were telling him how much Murphy and the teacher loved each other.He has never been able to accept this fact. Although he has no objection to the teacher's decision, he also does not want to get involved in anything related to Murphy.So he turned his head and walked back when he heard the words. In his opinion, the best solution to this matter is to go to the teacher and take the guy who sneaked out back.

But when he just took a step, he was stopped by Murphy.

"What do you want to do? Go to your teacher? If I tell him that you helped me escape, do you think he will be disappointed in you?" Murphy's voice came from behind him with a smile .

Elvis stopped, turned around, looked at Murphy's hateful smile and retorted: "The teacher won't believe you!"

"Oh?" Murphy still said with an idle smile: "Are you so sure? But if you think about my relationship with Mr. Traphael, do you think he really won't believe me?"

Elvis frowned tightly, opened his mouth and couldn't say any more rebuttal words, he hesitated.

Murphy continued: "Don't be so nervous, I just want to go and have a look. If I'm found out, I will take all the responsibilities by myself. And didn't you say you want to find out what's wrong with me? This is an excellent opportunity to observe closely."

If Traphael was present, he would definitely reject him without hesitation, because he knew that Murphy's words had no credibility.But although Elvis hated Murphy, he hated him more because he was frivolous and stole Traphael's attention. He didn't know all about Murphy's bad character.So he looked up at Murphy's flawless smiling face, struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally nodded hesitantly.

Seeing Elvis nodding, Murphy dragged him into the woods.Elvis broke free from the hand that was holding his arm, and followed him actively.

Stepping on the fallen leaves and passing through the trees, Elvis was a little puzzled. The direction the two of them were heading was not the road in the woods that could accommodate carriages.

"Where are you going?" Elvis asked.

Murphy didn't answer him, but soon he understood—with a horse tied up in the woods, Murphy was already ready to sneak into the city.

"We rode it into town," Murphy said.
