Son of Light and Darkness

The venue for the college competition this time was chosen as one of the ten most dangerous places on the mainland, the Foggy Night Forest.

This forest is located at the junction of the Western Yuan Empire and the San Carlos Empire. The entire forest is so vast that it takes more than half a month to cross it even on horseback.

The reason why the foggy night forest is listed as a dangerous area is because no one has ever been able to walk out alive.

The people on the mainland are unknown to everything here.

Fear comes from ignorance.

In the Great Hall of the Royal Academy of Magic.

A party to celebrate the House Tournament is underway.

"Although the competition venue this time is in the Foggy Night Forest, I believe that you don't need to worry about our contestants at all." The host of the party and one of the leaders of this competition, the sixth-level magician Samuel Wearing an eye-catching bright red magic robe, he used a levitation technique to suspend himself above the ballroom.

Although he is not handsome, he is impressive.

With a round head, a round face, and a short round body, it looks like a dwarf who has doubled in size.

He pretended to be humorous and grimaced, and found that only a small number of people cooperated and smiled, but he was able to find the steps for himself, and said to himself: "Because our competition venue is only in the foggy night forest. On the edge, as long as one of our players yells for help, our security guards will go in to rescue them."

The atmosphere in the auditorium became even more solidified.

Hailaer, who was seated at the head, and the other two college deans smiled in agreement, while the other White Hart College dean, Mrs. Opa, had a serious face, with a tense expression on her face that could not reveal the slightest smile .

"Hahahaha, of course, our students are the best students in each college, maybe this time there is no chance for our guards to play, isn't it?"

Samuel let out a few sharp laughs, and then pretended to be mysterious: "Well, maybe everyone is impatient with my old man's nagging, then, let us hold our breath and welcome our goddess, the beautiful siren Miss……"

The applause instantly lasted like thunder.

Then came the appearance of the Sirens.

Eli had already seen the performance of the Sirens, and compared to the people in the hall who drifted towards him intentionally or unintentionally, the kind of sympathy mixed with complicated probing eyes always made him feel uncomfortable. Compared with the atmosphere outside, it was better Some.

He got up inadvertently and exited the hall.

Outside the auditorium, there is a large field of white roses, and the ancient arches are wrapped around the small vines. The relief on the door is faintly visible, and it can be vaguely recognized as a statue of the God of Light.

Eli raised his head under the arch and looked into the distance. The statue of the God of Light on the bell tower couldn't see the expression clearly, but the tall and slender figure was still projected in Eli's pupils.

"I really miss it." Carlos suddenly sighed.

Eli suddenly became interested: "You have mentioned several major elemental gods, but you have never mentioned the god of light. What kind of god is he?"

Carlos was silent for a long time, and when Eli thought he could not speak, he replied lightly: "...a perfect person, smart, powerful, handsome, kind..."

Eli was a little surprised: "I thought you would scold him severely, which is more in line with your personality. I didn't expect his image to be so perfect in your eyes."

Carlos sneered: "Perfect, yes. A perfect god will not have human feelings, so he is the most perfect of all gods."

That is, the most ruthless?

Eli's heart moved, Carlos was completely resentful of his husband, he really wanted to hear the gossip of the God of Light...

Surprised by his own thoughts, Eli couldn't help being taken aback, and suddenly felt a chill.

Since when did he have this hobby of inquiring about other people's gossip, isn't that Aya's patent?Even if he was close to Zhu Zhechi, he wouldn't be infected to this extent, right?

Carlos fell silent again, and Eli shrugged and was about to turn back when he almost bumped into someone.

"Brother!" Eli was taken aback, and immediately raised his heart. How long has Mephisto stayed here?Did he hear anything?

Mephisto looked down at him as usual: "Why did you come out for so long?"

Eli saw that there was nothing wrong with him, so he was a little relieved, and replied, "It's a bit stuffy inside, come out to get some air." He still doubted himself more in his heart.

It seems that more than once, Mephisto has always been able to reach him quietly, but if someone else is far away, he will instinctively start to be on guard.

Only against Mephisto, he has never been half on guard.

"The dim sum here tastes good." Mephisto raised the dim sum plate in his hand.

Eli's eyes lit up immediately, he looked at Mephisto eagerly, and almost wrote four big words "I want it very much" on his face.

Mephisto smiled silently, sat down on the stone bench behind the arch with a plate, put down the plate in his hand, and patted the stool next to him.

Eli walked over without hesitation and sat down next to Mephisto.

"It tastes really good." Eli took a bite of the crispy pie in his hand, and looked at Mephisto without blinking his beautiful eyes, "Brother, do you want to try it too?"

"Okay." Mephisto said, lowered his head, and took a bite of Eli's hand where he had just bit.

Eli's whole body froze, and the hand reaching for another piece of snack was also frozen by Mephisto's movement.

Mephisto was also stunned for a moment, but his blankness was perfectly concealed under that expressionless handsome face.

His action was completely subconscious, and when he realized it, he saw Eli with a flushed face, as if his whole body was frozen, motionless, but he thought it was quite funny.

He licked the corner of his lips, nodded and said, "It really tastes good."

Eli's beautiful black eyes widened, he did it on purpose!

Eli, who didn't know how to deal with this situation, could only stare blankly at Mephisto.

Mephisto raised his handsome eyebrows, and gently pinched Eli's face: "You dislike me?"

Eli shook his head subconsciously: "No."

"Then give me another piece." Mephisto looked at him half jokingly and half seriously.

Eli couldn't help shaking his hands, trying to cover his face.Is this boy with a slightly coquettish tone really his elder brother who is admired by countless people?

"Why do you let your hair cover your eyes?" Mephisto changed the subject, reached out to lift Eli's black hair that covered his eyebrows, and looked at the perfect god-like face exposed to the moonlight.

Eli turned his head slightly, unwilling to answer.

When he and grandpa first moved to Lant Village, those people were very friendly to them.But after discovering Eli's unusual black eyes, everyone gradually alienated them.

The adults warned the children in the family to be careful of Eli, because his black eyes were a mark chosen by the devil.

Innocence is the most beautiful characteristic of children, but it is also the most hurtful weapon in the world.

Because they know nothing about this world, they will hurt others unscrupulously, and have the right to be forgiven because they are children.

But when children go out and hurt another child, that evil seems to become an innocent justice.

Facing the child with a pair of evil black eyes, the victory of another group of children is even more brave and fearless.And his delicate and beautiful face was already showing its beginnings at that time.

In order to protect his grandson, after the old Steven moved to Lante Village, he never let Eli's hair be cut short above the eyebrows.

Seeing Eli's sudden silence, Mephisto also guessed a bit, he gently hugged Eli into his arms, and silently patted his thin back.

"Excuse me." A gentle and polite voice cut in abruptly.

"Old...teacher!" Eli was stunned, and broke away from Mephisto's embrace in embarrassment.

Raphael gave Mephisto a sideways look, and looked at Eli: "You are my youngest apprentice, although you are also the stupidest one, but I don't want you to die in a game like this."

Mephisto sat beside him calmly, without any intention of avoiding it.

Raphael didn't mind either. He snatched a simple moonstone space ring from his hand and handed it to Eli with a gentle smile: "Remember to come back alive, this ring contains some In addition to the magic scroll, there are also books you need to read when participating in the competition. Not many, you can just catch up with the exam when you come back, come on!"

……

Eli's hand that took the ring suddenly sank. He felt a little inexplicably moved, but finally he just nodded slightly: "Thank you teacher."

Raphael turned his head: "Mephisto, you will protect him, right?" The smile was as fresh as ever.

Mephisto nodded gracefully: "I will supervise him to finish his homework."

Eli: "..."

Raphael nodded in satisfaction. At the door not far away, Hailaer was looking this way, his handsome face showed no expression, but he was watching

The moment he saw Raphael, his eyes were inadvertently soft.

When Raphael left, Eli was about to see what was inside the ring, when he looked up and saw Mephisto looking at him with a smile.

Blushing and glaring at him, Eli inadvertently stopped what he was doing.

"Let's see." Mephisto looked at him with a rare smile, "I like to watch you count gifts like a little money fan."

Little money fan?

Eli glared at him angrily, and lowered his head to look intently at the ring Raphael gave him.

One pile, two piles, three piles...

Eli's eyes widened.

Raphael's handwriting is really not small. This kind of advanced magic scroll is made of very expensive materials, even noble families don't often use it, but the ring Raphael gave him has at least a thousand magic scrolls above the sixth level. Magic Scroll!

With so many scrolls, it is almost worth ten great magisters.

"So I heard Senior say that Raphael is very defensive, and it seems to be true." Mephisto stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Eli continued to watch, and then fell silent.

That pile of books to read is actually more than that pile of magic scrolls! ! !
