Mage's Secret

In the end, Murphy walked back to the hotel with the flower and Traphael just like that.

The handsome demon and the tender Mianchunhua have a strange sense of harmony, and they naturally received a lot of attention along the way, even Traphael couldn't help turning his head to look at him several times.Murphy seemed to enjoy the gazes, and he seemed in a pretty good mood.

Murphy still maintained this good mood until the next day when everyone got into the carriage and prepared to set off.

The other apprentices were surprised by Murphy's good mood. They didn't know that Traphael took Murphy to see the Mianchunhua yesterday, and they didn't even know that there was a flower field nearby.

Traphael glanced at his empty hands, wondering what he did with the flower in the end, but that wasn't what Traphael cared about either.

Under Traphael's order, the coachman flicked his whip and drove the carriage away from this quiet town.

After a period of time, they repeated the days of settling in different cities, resting and going on the road again.Because there is plenty of time, Traphael's trip to collect magic materials with his apprentices is not just a cover.When passing through places where less common magic materials grow, they will also stop for a while, and Traphael will demonstrate the correct method of material collection for them on the spot.

Not every day they could live in a hotel, and sometimes the two towns were too far apart, and they would rest in a carriage or in the fields.Thanks to Raphael's well-prepared, even if they spent the night in the wild, they didn't have to work too hard, and they were able to take care of themselves enough and refreshed.But only in terms of food, Murphy and Elvis could never compromise with Trafael.

At the beginning, Traphael was a little worried that Elvis would not be able to take the nutrient potion every day. After all, the taste of the nutrient potion was not very good.It wasn't until he saw food residue-like powder on Elvis's robe several times that he realized that every time he passed through a city, Elvis would buy a lot of local specialty desserts and secretly eat them alone during his breaks.

This discovery made Traphael start to worry about Elvis's teeth again. You must know that when he was in the Mage Tower, Elvis's daily desserts were limited.

"Don't worry." Elvis replied to Traphael's worries, "I have prepared a lot of mouthwash."

"A lot." Elvis emphasized again.

As for Murphy, Trafael was not particularly worried, because although Murphy refused to eat the common stewed meat and plants that were processed to taste horrible in restaurants, he was willing to eat tasteless dry food.Sometimes in the wild, he can even hunt and cook by himself, which is beyond Traphael's expectation, especially after tasting Murphy's cooking, Traphael almost looks at him differently.

Murphy was very cooperative along the way. He didn't make any small moves during group activities, and he didn't shake Traphael away when he was free. Even if he suddenly wanted to go out for a walk on the empty street or in the dark field in the middle of the night Go, and will take the initiative to call for Traphael - but often when he is about to wake up Traphael, the mage has already woken up by himself.

Even if Murphy performed well, Trafael did not dare to let his guard down completely.For him, it's better to be nervous for a while than to regret something later.

But even if Trafael was worried about Murphy, he was satisfied with Murphy's cooperative attitude.On the contrary, Traphael is quite devoted to being Murphy's guide.

Therefore, during this period of the journey, the mage and the demon got along very well. If there is anything that makes Traphael a headache, it is probably Elvis' attitude towards Murphy. After separating from Murphy, the original dissatisfaction turned into the current extreme dissatisfaction.

This kind of dissatisfaction accumulated until later, and it became a situation where there was another Elvis beside Trafael and Murphy when they acted.

Unlike Trafael's headache, Murphy is happy to hear about this situation. After all, to him, the young, beautiful and energetic Elvis is much more interesting than the always stern-faced Trafael. .

Elvis also reacted greatly to his teasing, which greatly satisfied the devil's low taste, so Traphael's job was added to comfort the young apprentice who exploded.

Such days are not particularly boring for Murphy, especially when he is injured and cannot move freely.But Murphy didn't feel very comfortable, because there was one thing that concerned him very much.

Before, his feeling towards Traphael was more of disapproval and boredom. Although they had a cooperative relationship, it was nothing more than that.In his opinion, Traphael always wanted to restrain him, and he was very boring.But during this period of getting along, Murphy's views gradually changed.He sometimes unconsciously thinks of mages, and those traits that he thought were "disadvantages" have become less unacceptable.

When did this change start?Maybe it was the time Traphael healed him, maybe it was after seeing the flower field, and of course it could be that he got along well recently and changed his view of the mage unconsciously.

At this time, Murphy no longer hated Traphael at first, but he couldn't call him a liking, at most, he just looked pleasing to the eye.But even if it was just pleasing to the eye, it was enough for Murphy to care.

When he realized that he would no longer feel repelled when he saw a master, Murphy couldn't accept it for a while.Especially when Murphy felt that the relationship between him and Traphael was changing, but Traphael didn't have such an idea.

In order to divert attention, Murphy teased Elvis even more vigorously.Elvis was cute, and the responses were amusing, but the distraction didn't seem to be ideal—Murphy realized this when, once again, he stared at the back of the mage's head with a warm voice comforting the students.The initial feeling of wanting to touch Traphael's rather smooth-looking hair didn't go away, but grew stronger as time went on.

But soon, Murphy had no time to worry about such trivial matters.

Nearly 30 days after they left the Mage Tower, that is, when they were about to reach the end of this journey, they came to Holtka, a large human city.

The densely populated streets here are bustling, and people of all kinds of dresses and occupations walk through the streets, bards playing mandolin sing old or new poems on the streets, and cavalry patrols the city on horseback.

A group of them entered the city, even though Traphael was wearing a mage's robe, it only attracted a few curious eyes, and it didn't almost cause a sensation like those small cities.

Seeing such a bustling city, Traphael frowned unconsciously, thinking that he couldn't stay here for too long.It's not that he's afraid that Murphy will do something. After all, it's not that Traphael has no confidence in Murphy after spending so many days together. What he's worried about is that there are so many people in the city that there will inevitably be spellcasters.

The route they took to the Deman Valley was very long, but it would not pass through any spellcaster's residence, which was specially designed by Traphael for safety reasons.So Murphy wasn't particularly vigilant along the way, he just made a basic disguise to prevent being seen through by the apprentices.If facing the real spellcaster, Murphy's chances of being exposed will be greatly increased.

But it was getting late at this time, and it was not easy to continue on the road, so Traphael ordered to stay overnight in the city tonight.Hearing this, the eyes of the apprentices lit up—Holtka was much more prosperous than Nakalun.But Traphael's next sentence extinguished the light in their eyes.

"We're leaving early tomorrow morning," Trafal said.

"Why, teacher, aren't we in a hurry? It's rare for us to come here, why don't we stay here for a few more days, okay?" Elvis tried to make Traphael change his mind by acting like a baby, and several others also She stared at him with the same pleading eyes.

But Traphael resolutely rejected them: "No, the flowering period of the Fara flower is very short. We will set off after resting here for one night and preparing supplies. Remember to buy more, and it will be difficult to have towns in the future."

That night they stayed at the best hotel in town.

I don't know if it's because the city is more prosperous, but the food here is obviously better than the ones they had eaten in other cities before. Murphy and Elvis had a good meal after a long absence.

After the meal, Traphael took the initiative to come to Murphy's room before Murphy went to find him.

Murphy was changing the dressing when he entered the door. The wound has been simply stitched up, but it still looks fresh and hideous. It still needs to change the bandage and apply medicine every day—Murphy thinks the medicine is useless, but Traphael insists on letting it go. He used it, at least to prevent wound infection.

There was no danger along the way, so every time Murphy changed his dressing, he would do it in his own room, or in a corner away from everyone's sight.

Traphael walked to Murphy's side, took the bandage from Murphy's hand, and wrapped it up for him.Although he was once ridiculed by Murphy for his poor bandaging skills, after Murphy bandaged himself, he found that he was at least better than Murphy. Because it was so much better, Murphy didn't want to admit it.

When Traphael approached him, Murphy's body stiffened for a moment, and then slowly relaxed, allowing Traphael to move.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Murphy asked, looking at the top of Traphael's hair in front of his eyes because he lowered his head to bandage.

"Because it's too big here, it doesn't feel safe." Trafael said, not aware of Murphy's gaze at all.

Murphy leaned back a little to make it easier for Traphael to wrap the bandage: "It's a pity, I still want to go shopping."

Hearing that Traphael's hands paused, he looked up at him and said seriously: "Now you are in a special situation, in order to avoid danger, I hope you can cooperate with me. If you want to come here again, there will be opportunities in the future. "

"Well, well..." Murphy muttered, uncomfortably looking away from Traphael.Just for a moment, he actually found the mage's brown eyes and focused eyes a little charming.

This is simply unacceptable.

"Also, if you have other ways to hide your aura, I hope you can prepare it too." Traphael urged.He cut off the bandage, tied a simple knot and stood up.

"Okay, okay," Murphy said, picking up the bandage he had replaced to hide his embarrassment.Traphael saw his movement, and before he could stop it, the bloody bandage was destroyed by his spell.

A sinister scent of black magic caused the air to vibrate faintly.

At this moment, in the temple at the other end of the city, the white-robed spell caster who was kneeling in front of the statue slowly opened her eyes.
