noble magician

"The time for the college holiday is fixed, and the route back is also fixed, but my whereabouts are unpredictable, and I received a message to change the itinerary halfway. Besides, I am not worth the effort of others, what do you say It's really untenable, no matter how you look at it, it is more likely that this matter will be aimed at Roy and the others." Lance explained calmly.

No matter from which angle you look at it, a commoner is not worth the trouble of others, risking offending nobles for a sneak attack.But Master Barlow seemed to have some prejudice against Lance. He wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Roy again.

"Okay, if it's like what Lance said, it's best to inform Evelyn about this. The other party may be an indiscriminate attack. Although the other party is only a veteran-level magician, we can't be sure whether the dark place is still there. Hiding the enemy, for safety reasons, why not apply for asylum in the temple and let them send a mage to escort us back. Lei Zhe, what do you think?" Roy said after thinking about it.

Lei Zhe shrugged: "I only know that my plan has failed again."

"Then it's settled, and immediately send a message to the Temple of the Magician."

The people who were attacked were the supreme nobles. After receiving the news, the local Magician Temple immediately mobilized all available personnel to conduct a thorough investigation in the small town along the Sona River and arrest all suspicious persons.But their search did not yield any results. The assailant seemed to have disappeared. The identity of everyone in the town was very clear, and no doubts could be found.

Oh, no, actually there is still one doubt.

"May I ask why you went to the suburbs to pick mountain flowers? Things like this can be bought everywhere..." the magician of the temple asked Lance.

The veins on Lei Zhe's forehead popped up, and he yelled at them: "Didn't I say that! I'm the one who will follow!"

"..." When Lance saw the furious Lei Zhe, he lost his temper.Perhaps for Lei Zhe, causing trouble for others because of his own decision is intolerable.

"I understand what you mean, but I heard that you had a very fierce dispute before, and we cannot rule out the possibility that your behavior may have been induced..."

"Huh? Are you doubting my judgment? I don't even know if I was induced by others?"

"But……"

"Let's go, go back to the room!" Lei Zhe pulled Lance's arm, dragged him into the room, and slammed the door with a "bang", shutting the magicians of the temple out.

Outside the door, the magicians from the temple looked at each other.

"What should we do? It seems that Lei Zhe of the Xi Zuo'an family wants to live in the same room as the biggest suspect."

When the people in the magician's temple were uneasy, fearing that something would happen to Lei Zhe and their future would be ruined, the two people in the room were relatively silent.

"I'm not helping you." After a while, Lei Zhe spoke first.

Lance glanced at him: "Oh, I know."

"Whether it is picking blue mountain flowers, purple mountain flowers or red mountain flowers, there is no reason for this kind of thing, so they are wrong." Lei Zhe explained.

Lance: "..."

"It's really unforgivable. Is it because I was induced by others that I can't judge myself?"

Lance: "..."

The dialogue was repeated several times like this, but Lei Zhe himself seemed to feel that the explanation was not clear enough, so he wanted to keep talking.

"I see, thank you." Lance said.

This thank you finally made Lei Zhe shut his mouth. He was stunned for a while, then suddenly rushed into the bathroom and closed the door heavily.Not long after, the sound of splashing water came from inside.

Lance glanced at the closed bathroom door inexplicably. Could it be that this person's true nature is awkward?

The Magician's Temple could neither find the attacker nor persuade Lei Zhe, so it could only focus on protecting the safety of Lei Zhe, Roy and others.That night, the hotel was full of magicians from the temple. Even if a fly wanted to fly in, it would have to pass through them first.

At the same time, in a wasteland about half a day away from the Sona River, three guests ushered in under the cover of night.They came here in the starlight, wearing black cloaks with hoods, covering their faces tightly except for a pair of eyes.

The other person who had been waiting in the wasteland for a long time came to meet them, but was kicked down to the ground by one of the three!

"It's useless, you've ruined our big business! Now we've already started to scare the snake, and the people in the Magician's Temple have received news to protect them, and we've lost a great opportunity."

"I..." said the person curled up on the ground tremblingly, "I hated them when I saw them. If my children were still alive, they would be about the same age. My children died, but they lived well. I ..."

"Are you the only one who wants revenge?" The person who kicked him asked coldly, and the people on the ground stopped talking.

The man in black who asked the question sighed and said, "Forget it, the future will be long, let's leave first, it's not safe here."

Taking advantage of the night, the few people who came in a hurry left in a hurry.

The sky turned from dark to white, and the small town by the Sona River spent a peaceful night safely.The magicians in charge of guarding stayed up all night, and only then did their nerves relax, while Lei Zhe, Roy and others under their protection had a good night's sleep.

In the early morning, everyone decided to leave this place after getting up, but there were many more people than when they came.Roy and his party will be guarded by the magician of the temple until they reach a safe place.As expected, Lei Zhe received the order to go home, so he didn't dare to continue to challenge his father's authority, so he had to obediently wait for the family members to pick him up.

Lei Zhe watched Roy get into the carriage, and smiled helplessly: "I can only find another chance next time."

"Next time, please be sure to come back after getting the approval of Duke Xizuan." Roy raised his eyebrows and said.

Lance also got into the carriage after Roy. Lei Zhe looked at him with a flicker of eyes, and suddenly stopped him and asked, "Hey, will you go to the academy?"

Seeing that he seemed to be calling himself, Lance turned his head in surprise and replied, "Yes."

"Then..." Lei Zhe scratched his hair awkwardly, "See you later." He looked at Lance after saying this, as if waiting for his reply.

When Lance met Lei Zhe's eyes, he always felt that there seemed to be a little... anticipation in his eyes?This thought embarrassed Lance, and he said quickly, "See you then."

Lei Zhe nodded in satisfaction, the coachman flicked the whip, and the carriage started to start, carrying the group of people towards Maiman City.

Two days later, in the small town along the Sona River, Ganesi Zuoan personally came to pick up Lei Zhe who was stranded here.Lei Zhe, who was in high spirits when planning the "runaway plan", shrank his neck at this time, with a guilty expression on his face, he was severely repaired by the stern-faced Gagne, and then went back in the family's carriage.

A group of craftsmen came to the Sona River and began to build a new bridge.The business travelers carrying goods either diverted to take longer routes after hearing the news, or hired labor to slowly move the goods across the river bit by bit.Anyway, everything is back on track again, and the town is back to its former self.

The attack on the nobles in this area seems to have disappeared like this, but it is not the case.Injuries against nobles have always been highly valued by the Temple of Magicians, not to mention the high nobles who were attacked this time.

After the incident, the local temple not only immediately dispatched personnel to investigate, but also immediately passed the news to the upper temple.The entire investigation process followed the most stringent procedures, including the broken bridge and re-sent people to investigate.

It's just that there are too few clues after all. Although it has attracted enough attention, it still lacks sufficient evidence to explain the problem, so it can only be shelved temporarily.Afterwards, the main hall of the Magician's Temple in Plante City issued an order, requiring that if similar incidents occur in various places, they must be reported as soon as possible, and at the same time remind the nobles to pay attention to safety.

On the day of arriving in Mayman City, Lance only wanted to see his father, but his father didn't see him, but he saw Duke West first.The similarity between Duke West and Ender really surprised Lance. As expected of family members, the blood relationship between them can be seen at a glance, but the temperament of the two is completely different.

Duke West's majestic and substantive eyes swept over Lance, as if evaluating his value.

"Your father is busy. You should stay here first. He will come to see you when he is free. If you need anything, please tell Butler Punchard." It took a long time for Qiao Ge to say such a sentence.

"Where is he, please? It's not convenient for him to come, so I'll go see him."

Lance stubbornly wants to see his father. In this strange environment, he misses his alcoholic father very much, and at the same time worries about whether he is doing well now.

There was a sarcastic smile on the lips of Duke West: "Are you still a little baby who hasn't been weaned? Can't bear not seeing your father for a moment?" He opened his lips lightly and said slowly.

His smile was so dazzling that Lance couldn't help thinking, could it be that he also used this expression when talking to his father?

"I only know to cherish the days when the other party is still by my side."

Lance is a man without a mother, and even Ender is not his biological father, but an adoptive father.He knows how to cherish especially, knowing that all this is not for nothing.People who are here today may not be there tomorrow.

Jogo stared at Lance, and said after a while: "I don't want to repeat what I said. In addition, the West family will support you to learn magic, but you have to remember who gave you all this. You are from me Your younger brother Ander brought him up, and we sent him to the academy for further study, do you understand what I mean? I hope you are not that ungrateful person."

"..."

Lance felt that Duke West's words might be a bit wrong.

Ander was kicked out of the house by the West family, and his adoption had nothing to do with the West family, and he never used a single gold coin from them... But Lance vaguely felt that, now, with this Mr. Duke was afraid that it would be unwise to talk back, so he chose to remain silent.

"Where's your answer? Brat." Duke West persisted.

"...I understand, Your Excellency the Duke."

"Very good, Ponchard, arrange a room for this little devil." Duke West called the butler in, and he picked up a book and read it.

After Lance followed the butler out, Jogo looked away from the pages of the book, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Was that pair of silver eyes just a coincidence?
