Mage's Secret

Murphy was still angry at the fact that his ugliness was seen one second, but the next moment he was distracted by Traphael's words and the letter in his hand.

"What good news?" Murphy let go of the quilt that had been pitifully trampled by him, stood up from the bed, walked towards Traphael, and reached for the letter.

Traphael didn't want to be a secret, so after he handed the letter to Murphy, he immediately said, "I have received a clue about your brother."

Murphy glanced at him suspiciously, then lowered his head to look at this thin parchment with a rather short content.And when he raised his head again, his eyes changed: "Is this source reliable?" His tone was quite urgent.

"Very reliable." Traphael nodded, he was still very confident in the character of the older mercenary captain.

"Are you going with me?" Traphael asked again when he saw that Murphy was obviously distracted after seeing the joyful expression on his face.

Murphy quickly came back to his senses: "Of course, of course I'm going."

"Okay, then get ready, this is just a short trip, we'll be leaving soon." After saying this, Traphael backed out from the door that was still connected to his room behind him, and closed the door , leaving the room to Murphy alone again.

Murphy walked to the table and sat down. At this time, he hadn't recovered from the good news.If he finds his younger brother and brings him back to the family territory, those people will know that he can do things well even if he is alone.The young devil thought, as if he had seen the expressions of appreciation from those people, and showed a smile that was sure to win.

But soon he thought of another problem - if he wanted to send his brother back, he would have to go back to the Demon Realm, and there was no reason to come back after he went back.He just made up his mind to win the heart of the mage, how could the situation become like this.

Do you want to keep your younger brother here, and return to the Demon Realm after the mage falls in love with him?Can the mage agree to this proposal?Murphy scratched his messy hair in distress, and his mind was also in a mess, with no answer.

As Trafael said, this is a short-term trip, so there are not many things to prepare.Time seemed to pass very quickly in the entanglement. Before Murphy could think of a good solution, the mage had already informed him that he was about to leave.

When the demon was taken by the mage to the stable next to the mage's tower and asked him to choose a suitable horse, he still hadn't recovered.Murphy looked at the row of fat, strong and smooth horses in front of him, and was a little dazed: "Shall we ride there?"

"That's right, it's faster." Trafael replied, "The bloodlines of these horses are all very good, inheriting the excellent bloodlines from ancient times that have been screened by time, and each horse is a rare and fine horse. Ju, you just need to choose the one you like the most.”

"No, no, I don't have any complaints about these horses," Murphy said with a wave of his hand, "but the last time we traveled, why did we take a carriage?"

"Because it's more comfortable that way, and Elvis was with us that time. But this time it's just the two of us for a short trip, I personally recommend riding a horse."

"You mean, just the two of us?" Murphy was taken aback by the message conveyed by Traphael's words.

"That's right, what's the problem?" the mage asked with raised eyebrows.

Of course, Murphy shook his head immediately: "No problem." Of course he is no problem. He will only take advantage of such a good opportunity for the two of them to travel, so there is no complaint.

In the end, Murphy picked a black steed with white hooves named Doro. When he ran, the four snow-white hooves barely touched the ground, as fast as flying.And Traphael chose a brown-red horse, which he seemed to be very familiar with. When he stood beside the horse, it lowered its head and rubbed the mage's arm affectionately.This horse is called Aura, and it is the horse that has followed Traphael for the longest time.

Different from the Doro chosen by Murphy, Ola can be called a lady. Its neck with long mane is always swaying gracefully, and its steps are methodical. Only when Traphael gently urges it Only then will the hooves be galloping fast.It seems to be jumping when it runs, which makes its movements look extra sensitive.However, for Aura and Trafael, the methodical forward speed still accounts for most of the time.This made Doro, who was naturally active, had to slow down his pace and follow it.

The distance was shorter than Raphael expected, and they only had time to spend one night in the wild before arriving at the small village that the mercenary leader mentioned.

This made Murphy both nervous and regretful. Naturally, he was so nervous that he was about to see the baby who was suspected to be his younger brother, and he was sad because he didn't have time to do anything to the mage along the way.In fact, he was so absorbed in riding around that he completely put aside the need to be near the mage.The feeling of riding a horse is completely different from riding a carriage. He seems to have returned to his boyhood when he hunted wantonly and without worries in the family territory, although the mount and prey here are different from those when he was in the Demon Realm.

Because there was no one else and he was not worried about revealing his identity, even Murphy didn't stop at night when he was sleeping outdoors, galloping on horseback, embarking on a little adventure.So when he returned to Traphael, he had no energy left to show his charm to the mage, he threw the reins aside, fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Traphael had no choice but to help him cover the blanket with a sigh, and fasten the horse's bridle—even though these spiritual horses will not run away alone even if they are left alone, it is more exciting to tie them up. Peace of mind - add enough dry branches to the fire to burn overnight before you can go to rest.

And when Murphy had his fill of fun and remembered the matter of seducing Trafael, they had already dismounted and started asking the villagers about the whereabouts of the baby.

The head of the mercenary team heard about the child when he passed by other nearby villages. It is conceivable that there is no one in the place where the incident happened that did not know about it.Therefore, when Traphael asked a woman with a bloated figure and a headscarf, the other party talked about the appearance of the child to the therapist for more than half an hour.

Traphael listened patiently to the other party's narration, and did not feel at all unhappy that the other party commented on his attire intermittently. Of course, he did not explain to the other party that all mages were dressed like this.

Unlike Traphael's patience, Murphy led the horse and stood beside the mage, and gradually frowned as he listened to the lady's description.The child she spoke of did not match what his brother should look like.

The demons of the Norber family are all black-haired and red-eyed, not the brown-haired and green-eyed one she described.But according to what she said, there was a long red birthmark on the back of the child, extending from the back of the neck to the tailbone. In her original words, it was "like a scar scourged by God. This child must have been tortured." God's disgust", of course, this statement makes the devil very uncomfortable.

After inquiring about the specific address of the family, Traphael bid farewell to the lady.Murphy also ignored her act that seemed to want to talk to him very much, and followed the mage in that direction.

Even though he had doubts, Murphy quickly convinced himself in his heart on the road.Since it is possible for a demon to mutate, such insignificant conditions as hair color or eye color can naturally be ignored.

The scope of the village was very small, and soon they arrived at the door of the family.When they got to a specific place, Traphael could be very sure that they didn't go to the wrong place, even without asking again to make sure.Because the entrance of this family is really too messy.

It was a kind of mess that survived tenaciously after being invaded. There were still various stains on the wall that could not be wiped off completely, and there were footprints on the ground.The window of the room was broken, and the door was a little crooked. Even the sapling next to the door, which hadn't grown into a sapling, showed signs of rough treatment.

The mage cautiously looked at the house, which was closed tightly at the moment, and led Murphy to knock on the tightly locked door.

The door was not opened, which was of course expected, so Traphael didn't feel frustrated at all, he just knocked lightly on the door that Murphy might be able to open with a hard kick.

Perhaps it was because Traphael's way of knocking on the door was too gentle, the door was finally opened, but only a small crack.A man stood behind the door, staring guardedly at the mage and demon standing outside the door.

The man's eyes wandered between the two for a while before he asked in a low voice, "Outsider?"

"Yes," Traphael said in a soft voice, trying to make the other party put down his guard: "I heard about your child..."

But no matter how gentle the voice was, the man's defenses could not be dispelled. After hearing the mage mention his child, the man quickly interrupted him and said viciously: "There is nothing to say." After speaking, he planned to close the door again.

The mage moved faster than him. Just as the man moved, he inserted his staff into the gap in the door, blocking the door that was about to close.

"Leave quickly! You are not welcome here!" the man shouted angrily.

"Please calm down, I forgot to introduce myself, maybe you will be interested in my identity." Traphael said reassuringly.

"My name is Trafael, Trafael Sterling, I am from Yadunis not far from here, you may have heard of me. And this," Traphael said, leaning his body slightly, Murphy's figure was revealed, "It's my apprentice Murphy Norber."
