Son of Light and Darkness

A set of black semi-new mage robes, three gold coins exchanged for the magic core and fur of monsters, and a small dagger made in the workshop, this is all Eli's property.

Eli didn't say goodbye to old Steven, because old Steven left before him.

Steven left a money bag containing a hundred gold coins and a note on the table in the small room, and left without disturbing anyone.

He was originally a wandering priest, and later fell in love with a female magician in the Western Yuan Empire, and gave birth to Eli's father after marriage.

Ten years later his wife died, and he left his son in the church while he continued to wander.

He came back once when his son was married to the pope's daughter, and later, when he came back to pick up Eli, who was only seven years old.

But now, he knew that Eli would eventually go on his own path, and that path might require someone to accompany him, but it wouldn't be him, an old man who was dying.

Leaving quietly, perhaps because they are used to parting, the old Steven didn't set aside time for each other to be reluctant to leave.Because neither he nor Eli was like that.

However, he still underestimated his significance to Eli.

Eli looked at the money bag on the table, the corners of his eyes were moist.

Taking a low breath, he put away the money bag on the table.Eli lowered his head and went out of the small courtyard. The twelve deacons came out of the courtyard, and villagers from far and near were all spying here.

The villagers here are also simple and enthusiastic, but neither Eli's grandparents nor grandchildren are particularly good at getting along with others. Over time, their relationship with the people around them has gradually weakened.

Seeing so many deacons appearing here suddenly, the villagers were naturally curious.Those children also stared at the silver star on the deacon's chest with envious and admiring eyes.

The head deacon prepared a carriage for Eli. He looked at Eli and found that he didn't bring any luggage. He paused before reminding him: "Although His Excellency promised you to go to the Royal Academy of Magic, But I didn’t promise to be responsible for all your expenses.”

Eli got into the carriage without looking back, and closed the door of the carriage before replying, "I know."

The deacon, who had fulfilled his obligation to inform, didn't bother to say anything, and just urged the horse to leave.

Eli was sitting in the carriage, looking out through the gap, and saw Calvin standing not far away and looking this way.He looked away and looked ahead.

Eli doesn't miss life in this village at all.

The carriage drifted away on the road.

On the straight official road, the tall tree shadows on both sides kept receding.

Eli slowly closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Before I knew it, half a day had passed, and the carriage was on the road.

When Eli woke up from his meditation, he realized that the sun was almost going down.There is only a little golden afterglow left in the mountains in the distance, but the brilliant clouds in the sky dyed half of the sky red.

"The Keya Valley is in front of you. After the past, it will be the territory of the great lord of Carifet." The head deacon rode his horse beside the carriage, saw Eli wake up and looked into the distance, followed his line of sight, and then Seeing the iconic jagged mountains of the Koya Valley, explained.

Eli looked at the terrain over there thoughtfully, and suddenly said lightly: "Isn't this place a good place to set up an ambush?"

The deacon's expression changed slightly.

Of course, it is impossible for the Pope to be willing to accept this grandson with a purely dark physique to return to the royal city and live under his nose.

But unable to resist Mephisto's request, the Pope could only retreat.

But if there is any accident on the road, then you can only blame your own life.

In the valley ahead, more than a dozen senior magicians of the sixth level are ambushing. The magic circle they set up is enough to make Eli disappear in this world a hundred times without a sound.

When Eli saw it, he understood.

It seems that my grandfather hates me even more than I imagined.

A sneer escaped from his lips, but there was a dark flame burning slowly in Eli's heart.

This is his relative?A relative who tried every means to put him to death?

"Go on." Eli shrugged indifferently, the big deal is to kill them all.Anyway, he wouldn't expect more from the Pope's grandfather and mother.

Just take these people as sacrifices for your revenge.

I really want to see how their blood stained the red and white flags of the Church of Light, Eli quietly began to condense the dark elements in the dark.

Suddenly, Eli frowned.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a light blue figure flashing away in front of the carriage.

It was the man I had seen in the woods before.

The horse team in front stopped quickly, and Eli listened to the movement ahead.

Senior smiled and looked at the head deacon, while Kevin followed him helplessly.

Didn't you agree to protect that little guy in secret?Kevin asked Senior with his eyes.

Senior also looked at him, but it would be boring.And they walk so slowly, it will be hard for us to follow them secretly.

Senior always doesn't like to follow the rules when doing things, and he will kill him one day if he continues like this.Kevin was helpless.

"Your Highness Senior." The deacon recognized Senior, and then his heart sank gradually.

Why did Prince Senior appear in such a remote corner of the country?It is rumored that His Royal Highness Prince Senior is a good friend of Young Master Mephisto, and it seems that his mission cannot be completed.

In fact, this deacon has not been officially received by the Xiyuan royal family, but he was fortunate to serve as a peripheral guard at a royal banquet, and thus had the opportunity to meet several royal highnesses, including the eldest prince. Senior.

Senior didn't expect to be recognized by others. He originally wanted to eat and drink under the guise of Kevin's name and go back all the way.

Kevin is also the son of one of the top lords in the country, a noble young master of pure blood.

After Senior expressed his idea of ​​going out with Kevin and wanting to go back together along the way, the dozens of first-level deacons were flattered on the surface, but they were all crying silently in their hearts.

There are so many interesting places on this continent, but you have to come to such a small mountain village that can't be found on the map. Your Highnesses are really very excited!

"It is our great honor to be able to walk with His Royal Highness, and Master Kevin!" Although there were a million reluctances in his heart, the deacon had to pull a bright smile on his face.

As long as the two Highnesses do not get in touch with the person behind, they still have a chance to attack secretly.

but……

"Who is in the carriage behind?" Senior asked without giving them any time to hesitate.

The deacon's heart sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant. These two highnesses were clearly coming for him, but they still pretended not to know!

After hesitating for a while, the deacon replied vaguely: "Well, this is a distant relative of Christopher's family, Master Eli."

"From Christopher's family? That is a relative of Mephisto's family? Oh, I hope that our joining will not disturb your itinerary." Senior's perfect aristocratic smile made those deacons completely irresistible.

"No, no, Your Highness. How could it be? We are just sending Master Eli to the Royal Academy of Magic. There is no rush." ​​The head deacon replied with a mournful face.

Senior looked at Kevin pretending to be pleasantly surprised, and said, "Really? He's going to the Magic Academy too. That's really great, I think we should thank him for his generosity."

The deacon was a little embarrassed, but finally nodded in agreement: "Your Highness, Master Kevin. Master Eli is in the carriage behind, you can go and see him."

Soon, Eli saw Senior and Kevin approaching.

"Hi, is that Eli? Hello, I'm Senior, and this is Kevin next to me. I'll trouble you when we meet for the first time." Senior got into the car familiarly.

Eli watched him sit on the seat opposite to him, his demeanor revealing a kind of elegant demeanor.Then he responded lightly: "Really? Didn't you just see it yesterday?"

Senior didn't feel embarrassed about being exposed at all, and nodded without changing his face, and said, "Yes, it's really a coincidence. This is also a kind of fate, what do you think, Kevin?"

Seeing that both of them were looking at him, Kevin raised his eyebrows and watched as Senior remained silent.

"My brother asked you to come here?" Eli asked straight to the point.

Although Senior was a little surprised, Eli was able to see through his invisibility.You must know that he is already an eighth-level wind magician, and this growth rate is already a genius even in the whole continent.

Of course, it cannot be compared with Mephisto's non-human existence.

But after thinking about it, Eli is both Mephisto's younger brother and a mage with a purely dark physique, so it's normal to be able to see through himself, right?

Thinking of this, Senior decided not to talk about Mephisto's situation.

He didn't know anything about the relationship between the two brothers, he just vaguely knew that Eli's life at Christopher's house didn't seem to be very easy, and then he was picked up by their grandfather.

Since Mephisto just wants himself and Kevin to ensure Eli's safety, there is no need for him to make extra troubles.

He could predict that once Eli entered the Royal Academy of Magic, his future life would be even more exciting.

Kevin finally spoke: "These things, Mephisto should explain to you clearly."

Eli stopped talking.

He turned his gaze to the outside of the carriage, wanting to ask Carlos for his opinion, but he was surprised to find that this God of Darkness who always chattered non-stop was surprisingly quiet today.

So he gave up the idea of ​​going to Carlos.

If Carlos was discovered, it is estimated that the Pope would insist on burning Eli, an outlier, to death even if the whole world opposed it.
