Mage's Secret

"This one?" Murphy stood up and glanced at Traphael's back. There were still marks from last night on his naked back, which formed a sharp contrast with his fair skin.He swallowed, resisting the urge to pounce on him again, and said, "Didn't you always think that the previous mark was too big and obstructive? I made it smaller so that it wouldn't be exposed."

"Just like that?" Traphael squinted his eyes and asked, "As far as I know, the contract imprint cannot be changed casually."

Murphy scratched his head and said, "That's your human's magic contract. Mages in the devil world don't pay much attention to it. Now that the bond between us has deepened, this contract doesn't need such a huge mark to maintain."

For Murphy's remarks, Traphael still didn't quite believe it. He stared into Murphy's eyes, and the demon looked back calmly without hesitation.Perhaps it was because Murphy looked back too honestly, and because Traphael also believed that Murphy would not hurt him, gradually his doubts began to waver.Just at this time, the door of the room was knocked, and Traphael stood up, took out a robe from the closet in the room, put it on, and walked towards the door.

As soon as Traphael turned around, Murphy quickly reached out and wiped off all the sweat on his forehead covered by bangs.

Trafael guessed right, he did change the content of the contract.He changed the contract between the two of them from a cooperation contract to a partnership contract.

Murphy always remembered that after learning about the relationship between the prince and the elves, Traphael once said that they would not have a good result.Although they never talked about this topic again after that, and Trafael never explained the reason why he said this, Murphy still understood the meaning of his words.

The lifespan of elves and humans is too different, and the lifespan of human beings for decades is only fleeting in the eyes of elves, which also means that when Page becomes gray-haired, Avelia will still look young.And when Paige's life came to an end, Avelia could only watch him leave her forever, but she had to spend the rest of her life with that heavy memory.

And between him and Trafael, there is also such a problem.Although the lifespan of a demon is not as exaggeratedly long as that of an elf, it is too long compared to a human.Moreover, Traphael was not too young in the first place, coupled with his poor health, the hope of longevity was really very slim.

The partner contract that Murphy changed can just solve this problem.

This is one of the highest-level contracts of the Norber family where Murphy belongs. The two parties who signed the contract will share their lives and bear the injuries suffered by each other.Generally speaking, this contract will only be used when getting married.Because once this contract is concluded, it cannot be changed or eliminated, and only death can sever the connection between the two.

The use of this contract was not because of Murphy's passion. It was a premeditated action. Long before Traphael agreed to him, he had already rehearsed the ritual of changing the contract in his mind. Many times.After finally pursuing Traphael, what Murphy is after is naturally not just a short-term companionship.It's not that he's boasting. Although the demons of the Norber family look like vagabonds, they are all real infatuated species in their hearts.As long as you identify a person, you will never change your mind in this life.This characteristic can be seen from the fact that their family has changed this partnership contract more and more rigorously from generation to generation.

But Murphy hid it from Trafael.On the one hand, it was because Traphael had just agreed to him just now, and there was still a lot of room for improvement in the relationship between the two. Telling him about this matter rashly would not only not make him happy, but might also have a negative effect. Effect.

Another reason why Murphy didn't mention the contract to Traphael was that it had to do with another effect of the contract—after the two parties signed the contract, the receiving party had a chance to conceive.

No gender, no race.It's just that if the other party is of the same sex or is of a different race, the chances of conception will be much lower than normal.

Murphy understands that as a human male, Traphael probably won't accept pregnancy too much.However, Murphy believes that with his hard work, Traphael will one day completely accept him and completely open his defenses to him.Besides, Traphael is a mage. As a mage, he should have a higher understanding of such unreasonable things than ordinary people——Murphy thought optimistically.

It was also because he spent too much energy changing the contract last night that he slept so deeply this morning.

Traphael, who knew nothing about what happened to him, wrapped his robe and opened the door. An apprentice was standing respectfully at the door waiting for him.

"What's the matter?" Traphael asked, he only opened the door a small crack, blocking the apprentice's view into the room.

Fortunately, the apprentice respected the mage very much, and he had no intention of investigating the situation in the room at all, so he did not have any doubts about Traphael's behavior.He replied: "Just now we received some news about Elvis. I thought you might be more concerned about this matter, so I sent it to you."

While the apprentice was talking, he handed out the envelope in his hand, and Traphael reached out to take it without thinking.

The cuffs of the robe were very wide and the fabric was fine silk, so when Traphael raised his hand, the sleeves slid towards the elbow.Almost as a conditioned reflex, Traphael immediately lowered his hand again.

Facing the puzzled eyes of his previous apprentice, he remembered that the mark on his body had been shrunk, and those deadly patterns were no longer on his arms, so he no longer had to hide it like this.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand to receive the letter in the apprentice's hand without changing his expression.The sleeves slid down a little with his movements, and those evil arabesques did not appear on the slender wrists, but they were not smooth and white - there were bruised and purple fingerprints on them, which Murphy pinched last night. from!

After dismissing the apprentice with an unbelievable expression, Traphael turned around and walked into the room with a blue face.

Seeing him come back, Murphy, who was still lying on the bed, immediately rolled over and fell to the ground, entangled him.Murphy has been paying attention to Traphael's reaction, so he naturally caught the change in his face before and after opening the door.

"Why are you suddenly in a bad mood?" Murphy asked.

When this topic was brought up, Traphael frowned even tighter.

Seeing his reaction, Murphy couldn't help looking into his cuffs and collar: "Did that apprentice just discover something?"

Traphael glanced over, and Murphy knew he had guessed right.He rubbed his nose and smiled guiltyly: "What are you afraid of, anyway, we are all like this now, even if you don't tell me now, they will find out sooner or later."

Seeing that Trafael's face was still grim, Murphy immediately pretended to be injured, put his hands on his chest and asked, "Don't you want my relationship to be discovered by others, so just let me be your bottom lover? Or, You want to abandon me all the time?!"

Ignoring Murphy's flamboyant accusation, Traphael replied to him with only a blank expression: "I think you can leave now."

Seeing Murphy walking out of the room step by step, Traphael shook his head and showed a helpless smile.Of course, he didn't intend to hide this from the apprentices, otherwise he wouldn't let Murphy go out through the main door of his room openly.As for the reaction of the apprentices, Traphael didn't care too much. Anyway, the rumors about them in the Mage Tower were already well known, and they probably wouldn't be too surprised that Murphy spent the night in his room.

But having said that, being seen with unspeakable marks on his body still made Traphael feel ashamed as if he had been caught and raped in bed, which was why he didn't have a good look at Murphy just now.

When the room became quiet again, Traphael lowered his head to open the letter in his hand.

Although Elvis left Traphael's Mage Tower, after all, he was the child he brought up with his own hands, and Traphael was very concerned about his whereabouts.Just like a parent who sees their children going far away, Trafael can't help but worry whether Elvis will starve or freeze. He has confidence in Elvis' strength, so he is not worried that he will Being bullied, I'm afraid that his sensitive identity as a black-robed mage will be squeezed out.

So Trafael sent several apprentices to sneak behind Elvis with money and magic items on the second day after Elvis left, so that they could take action in time when Elvis encountered difficulties While helping each other, let them send back news about Elvis to the Mage Tower at any time.

Before Traphael left to visit Lawrence, he had already received a message that Elvis was leaving with the knight named Vader.What the letter said this time was that Elvis had already settled in the knight's hometown and built his own mage tower around that city.

Elvis named the Wizard's Tower Moby Hill after his hometown.Traphael and him met there, but they were also separated because of it.

Owning your own mage tower is a sign of becoming a mage who can stand alone.For this news, Traphael is both gratified and deeply regretful at the same time.

Not only Elvis, but the apprentices who are still studying in the Mage Tower will leave him one day, even Murphy.

Traphael put the letter in his hand on the table, looked at the bowl of fruit on the table that was no longer fresh because it had been left overnight, and sighed softly.
