Mage's Secret

After hearing the mage's self-introduction, the man's expression relaxed obviously, but he still stood by the door without any sign of moving his body or opening the door.

"Oh, respected Master Mage, please go back!" The man's face full of resentment and guard turned into exhaustion, his shoulders drooped obviously, and he said in a pleading tone, "If it was you, I would know, My poor child is just a toddler with a special birthmark, not any devil's child, and it's not worth your trip."

"Of course, of course I know that the rumors are nothing but absurd lies in the final analysis. I heard about the atrocities your family suffered. I am deeply sorry, and that is why I came here." Traphael told him The staff stuck in the crack of the door was retracted, and he continued to persuade.

"Thank you for your generosity, Master Mage..." The man's look and tone obviously became hesitant, "But what are you going to do?"

Noticing the man's wavering, Traphael continued: "You know, spell casters always know more about such unusual things than ordinary people. If I publicly express some opinions on this matter , I thought it might be helpful to the predicament you are in at this time."

The man's wavering became more and more obvious: "You mean, are you willing to help me?"

"That's right, but the premise is that you have to let me see that child." Traphael reminded with a decent smile.

The man who had been standing behind the door hesitated for a moment, and finally turned sideways, opening the door to Traphael and Murphy.

Murphy followed Trafael into the house, and since he stood outside the door just now, his heart has been sinking.Because he doesn't have any special feelings.When he was still in the Demon Realm, no matter where he was in the family territory, he could feel the sense of peace of being connected with the blood of his relatives.

Maybe it's because he's just a newborn, and he's a newborn who has lost the breath of the primordial devil, so it's possible that the induction between them is weaker.Murphy comforted himself, and followed the man into the depths of the house.

Most of the furniture in the room is made of wood, and there are some small things like children's toys scattered around, which seem to be handmade.From those newly made small furniture, Traphael can guess how the family was happily waiting for the arrival of this new life.But at this point they, like the rest of the movable objects in the room, were scattered and visibly damaged.

They walked up the stairs in the corner of the living room and eventually came to a room on the second floor.

When they just walked to the door of the room, an anxious and weak female voice came from the room: "Al, are they gone?"

Accompanied by the end of her words, the mage and his party walked into the room and saw her figure.She was lying on the bed half-supporting her body, and under the quilt beside her, where her hands were lightly clasped in a protective gesture, there was a small bulge.Trafael knew that was the child they were looking for, and that the disheveled woman was the exhausted mother who guarded the family with her husband.

When she saw two strangers following her husband, the mother's eyes widened instantly, her mouth was tightly pursed, and she supported herself to sit up. The hostility exuded from her body was even stronger than that of her husband. , as if suddenly from a weak woman to a tenacious warrior.

The appearance of this mother made Traphael a little worried. If the final result was really as they wanted, then they would have to break up this group of families who had struggled to stay together.It was not his original intention to cause this result.

Seeing his overwrought wife, the man called Al walked quickly to the bed and gently embraced his wife.

"Relax, Amy, these two are here to help us." The man kissed his wife's forehead and said comfortingly, "This is Lord Raphael Sterling, the healer, and his apprentice, you Know him, he is a good man. Let him see our child, he will know that Xia Zuo is just an ordinary child, and then he will pass the news to everyone else who misunderstood us."

"No, no one can take Xia Zuo away from me." The mother was keenly aware that the mage's intention for coming was not out of friendship, so she resolutely pushed her husband away, "Unless I become a useless The body of resistance, otherwise no one can take my child from my arms, whether he is a mage or a king."

Traphael led Murphy to the bed slowly, ignoring Amy's ferocious expression as if she was about to jump up and throw them out of the window in the next moment, and still smiled kindly.Just when he was about to continue persuading, he felt his robe being pulled slightly.

Murphy still didn't feel that special feeling. The closer he got to that child, the less hope he had in his heart.When he and Traphael stood by the bed, within an arm's length of the child, he finally dismissed the possibility.

So the mage turned his head and saw Murphy standing beside him with a frustrated expression, slowly shaking his head at him.This means that this child is not the one they are looking for.This information made Traphael's heart sink, and he couldn't tell whether it fell to the real point or sank enough to disappoint him.

So the mage cleared his throat, and changed the prepared speech into another: "You are really a respectable mother, but please relax, I swear in the name of the moon god, I never thought, You will never take your child away without your consent."

Mage is a mysterious profession, but apart from those black-robed mages, most of them have a good reputation, especially Traphael, whose name is even more famous.Therefore, after he took the oath, Amy's expression was visibly relaxed.

So Traphael continued: "As a mage, I have to say that the mage's curiosity is really not flattering sometimes, and this situation with your child is really very rare, so when I heard After telling the rumors about your child, I am really interested. You must know that the combined patterns composed of different patterns in different languages ​​have extraordinary magical powers, and human birthmarks, sometimes magic patterns created by gods, may have magical powers. special abilities.

"So I came to you and asked to take a look at your child's birthmark. I think if you can understand the meaning of what I just said, then you should also be curious about your child's birthmark, or worry-you know , this kind of random magic pattern can't be said to be a gift or a curse."

The mage's words made the poor mother nervous again: "You are right, mage, if you can really guarantee that no matter what the result is, you will not take or hurt my child..." She relied on In her husband's arms, there were tears in the corners of her eyes, but her eyes were extremely firm, "Then I can also let you see my child."

After getting the assurance from the mage again, Amyah took the child into her arms, and slowly lifted the swaddle wrapped around the baby to him.

The newborn was sleeping soundly in its mother's arms, its dark brown lanugo curling softly above its head.His face was still a little swollen, but his skin had become fair and delicate, so lovely and intoxicating.But the mage just took a look, and moved his gaze to the baby's back.There was indeed a deep red birthmark there, like a welt, running from the nape of the neck to the tailbone.But this birthmark is completely different from the imprint on Murphy's back, no matter in terms of shape or color.

So Traphael withdrew his gaze, stretched out his hand and wrapped the baby in a small quilt again.At this point the baby's parents are anxiously waiting for him to speak his conclusions.

Trafael had no intention of tormenting the new parents, who had already suffered too much, so he quickly put a smile back on his face.

"Don't worry, this is really just a big birthmark. Your child is very healthy and normal. But unfortunately, I think this birthmark is harmless, but it probably won't bring any harm to your child. benefits," Trafalle said.

Both Al and Amy were pleasantly surprised. They glanced at each other and exchanged their joy, and Amy smiled and shook her head at Traphael: "It doesn't matter, as long as the child is healthy, we will Satisfied."

After saying this, the mother's expression became hesitant again, and she said hesitantly: "As you said before, you will clarify this matter for our Xia Zuo..."

"Don't worry, I won't break my promise. Soon, everyone who knows about your child will know that he is just a healthy and ordinary boy, without any evil aura, and maybe he will be kinder than most people in the future." The mage smiled to the terrified parents.

Now that it has been confirmed that this is not the younger brother Murphy was looking for, and the birthmark on the child's back has no deep meaning, there is no need for Traphael to stay here any longer.He bid farewell amidst the repeated gratitude of the parents. As soon as he walked out of the house, he immediately turned his head and said to Murphy, "Don't worry, we will find it."

Trafael had noticed just now that Murphy's spirit was a little lost.Traphael understood him quite well. When he told him the news, he must have had the same great hopes as himself.Now that hope has come to nothing, especially since his younger brother is still a toddler like the baby he saw just now, anyone will be worried and disappointed.It was just that he was in the room just now, and it was not convenient to say anything, so Traphael said that comforting word as soon as he went out.

"No, I'm not particularly disappointed." Murphy said, in fact, it was the same. After he learned that everything was a misunderstanding, he was still a little happy after being disappointed, so that he could spend more time with Terra. Phil gets along, which is also beneficial to his plan.But for his statement, Traphael was somewhat incomprehensible.

Seeing the doubts on the mage's face, Murphy suddenly realized what he had just said, so he quickly explained: "In fact, I started to have some doubts when I heard others describe his appearance, and I just verified my doubts That's all, so it's nothing."

"But you seem to be very disappointed?" The mage then asked, wondering if his intuition had gone wrong.

"Yes," Murphy nodded hesitantly. He didn't want to talk about it at first, but he was very happy to be comforted by the mage, and the mage's question of concern touched him again, so he still said: "I just remembered something about myself from that human couple."
