noble magician

Cosen was silent. He thought about it for a while, and then said: "We are very grateful to him, but I hope you can understand that this is only for him personally, not for the West family behind him. The supreme noble—whether it is West is still Sizorne—it is wisest to keep them at a distance, I hope you understand."

The problem has returned to the original place again. Cosen had reminded Lance with "Plant" before. Now that I think about it, he must have wanted to convey some information. Lance can at least draw such a simple conclusion: Nobi Vitti The demise of the kingdom is inseparable from the other high nobles, perhaps they did not kill themselves because of the expansion of their ambitions.

Lance lowered his eyelids, lashes hiding the emotion in his eyes.

"It's too late, whether it's West or Xi Zoan, I have already cut off my relationship with them."

"Even if your family was ruined because of them?" Cosen no longer hinted, but said clearly.

Lance's face turned pale.

In the past, he got the same message from other people's narration and books: his people were killed because of their rebellion.People say that Nobiviti has fallen, they have been honored for too long, they are too proud, so that they feel that they should rule the entire Doa continent, they should be on the highest throne, and enjoy the admiration of all people, they betrayed the elders , betrayed the Temple of the Mage.

But what if this is not true?

Lance looked up at Cosen: "The teacher wants to tell me what happened that year?"

Cosen sighed, and his facial expression softened a little.

"Now is not the time to talk about these things, Lance, your most important task right now is to learn magic with peace of mind, which is also your aunt's idea. Your goal should not be just at the master level, but at a higher level! She has left It's very close, and you...you also have Nobi Viti's blood on your body!"

Dazzling brilliance burst out of Ke Sen's eyes, and his voice became louder unconsciously.He seemed to realize this, paused for a moment, and his tone was much calmer when he spoke again.

"I'm just worried that you are getting too deep, so I remind you in advance. You are shouldering the mission of revitalizing the family. You should know who you can associate with and who you can't. I hope that all this will not become your burden in the future .”

Lance was speechless by what he said, the mission of rejuvenating the family... Since he was a child, he has no lofty ideals.

Lance's idea is very simple, he likes magic, he just wants to learn more and more advanced magic, and then earn enough gold coins, so that Ender can drink mead, and when he sees what he wants, he can also drink it. affordable.It's such a simple goal, even when he first learned about his origin, it didn't change.

But things changed when that woman—his aunt—appeared, and Lance didn't even know her name.After meeting her, something was different.For example, the teacher Corson in front of him, he is no longer the former Corson to Lance, he is the one who knows the secret of Lance.Lance's father, Ander, and Lei Zhe were also different.

"What did Ender do?" Lance asked softly, "How did I survive? He raised me..."

"I know, we all know, Lance, you don't have to explain." Cosen interrupted Lance, and said, "It's just that no one can change the blood shed on his body, can he? You all have to bear the responsibility .”

Ke Sen looked at the silent Lance, and suddenly changed the subject. He asked in a much gentler voice: "The last time you were looking for the formula for the magic-eliminating potion, did you encounter any trouble with your body?"

Lance nodded and told him about his magic riot.

Corson thought for a while after hearing this, and then said: "You may need a stronger potion, but don't worry, I will prepare it. You can continue to take the previous potion for now. What troubles will you encounter in terms of money?"

"No." Lance replied, he was not used to being favored by others, not to mention that he hadn't encountered any trouble at the moment.

Because of the topics involved before, Lance was no longer in the mood to ask about other things, and now he just felt heavy in his heart.

"Okay, if there is anything else I need to do, please come to me." Cosen finally said, ending the conversation.

Lance returned to his residence with a heavy heart, the joy of seeing his blood relatives had long since been diluted and covered by new worries.If this trouble was just a seed in the past, now it has taken root and grown into a big tree.Although he tried to explain when facing Cosen, Cosen's words also had an impact that cannot be ignored on him.

Lance opened the bedroom door, someone was already in the room.

"Why are you coming back now?" Lei Zhe complained.

Lance glanced at him and laughed.It's just talking for a while, how long can it last?

"What did you say?" Lei Zhe continued to ask, he was always like this, and wanted to know everything about trivial matters, as long as it was related to Lance.

Lance loosened the hair tied behind his head for convenience, untied the bamboo messenger tube around his waist, and put it on the table beside the bed.It was newly bought after the trial, but neither Ender's nor Kaidi's teleportation array could be engraved on it.

"Go back to your own room and sleep in the future." Lance said to Lei Zhe.

Lei Zhe was stunned for a moment, then walked up to Lance in a few steps, grabbed his shoulder and asked, "What's going on? What's wrong with you?"

"You obviously have your own bed, why are you crowded here?" Lance said lightly.

Lei Zhe laughed, and switched from grabbing to hugging, encircling Lance.

"Why do you say that?" Lei Zhe asked with a low smile.

The familiar temperature made Lance dazed for a moment, almost intoxicated by the warmth, but he quickly got out of this state.Lance pushed Lei Zhe away and said, "I'm serious, let me be quiet, you go back to your room and sleep."

The smile on Lei Zhe's face froze, but he quickly found a reason for Lance.

"Are you worried about being discovered by Gagne? No, I ordered the servants not to allow them to enter our room at will." Lei Zhe said while looking at Lance, and seeing that his expression didn't change, he continued, "I'm still worried Rumors outside? Lance, that doesn't matter, what they say is not far from the truth, I don't care!"

Lance and Lei Zhe have known each other for so long, he knows how to make the other party understand what he means the fastest.He just looked at Lei Zhe's lack of response, and saw that the other person's expression gradually turned cold.

"Do you care? Do you care what others think of us? Are you afraid that others will know about our relationship?" Lei Zhe asked a series of questions. He has always had the temperament to say something.

"Yes, I do." Lance replied.

Lei Zhe was choked by Lance's answer, and he lowered his head for a long while and said, "I understand, but it really doesn't matter. If the rumors don't stop for a day, we will keep estranged? Today I will go back to my room to sleep , you should think about this issue carefully."

Lei Zhe went out after finishing speaking. It was impossible for him not to feel that something was wrong with Lance, but he could only choose to temporarily follow Lance's own wishes and wait for him to return to his normal state.

One day, two days passed...a week, Lei Zhe tried many ways to get close to Lance, but he felt an unprecedented setback.This made him more uncomfortable than when he was guessing the other party's mind before. Lei Zhe didn't know what was wrong, and why Lance suddenly changed his attitude.

A week is too long, and the school year is coming to an end.Lei Zhe's patience was gradually exhausted, suspicions arose in his heart, and all kinds of terrible thoughts appeared in his mind, he couldn't wait any longer.Where will he go to find Lance when the college starts to have a holiday?Lei Zhe decided to talk to Lance about it.

Lance has been coming back very late recently. Sometimes he stays in the library to read, sometimes he goes to the competition table to find someone to discuss, and sometimes he practices magic in the classroom.And tonight, Lance is making potions in the potions laboratory.

It was long past closing time, but Lance was still in the potions laboratory.The huge potion laboratory was empty, and he was the only one.Corson helped him and the administrator of the laboratory get the key, and he could stay here until he was satisfied.

In the past, in order not to attract the attention of others, Lance always went to the potion laboratory to prepare potions when there were few people.Originally, it was okay to prepare the potion later, but the dosage has increased again recently, and Lance was a little uneasy. He had already finished the previous batch of magic-killing potion, so he decided to start preparing it earlier.

Lance took a frozen licorice from the table, and a warm magic power poured out from the palm of his hand, melting the outer layer of ice just right.Lance crushed the frosty licorice that was still stained with crushed ice, and added it into the flask under strict control.At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Lance's hand trembled, a little surprised who would come here so late.

Lance did not turn his head to look at the door, but stabilized his hands, added a little frosty licorice, then put the flask on the table, and began to input magic power into the test bench. The magic circle lit up with green light, rich The magic power enters the liquid in the flask through the magic circle.

The person at the door didn't get a response, so he walked over by himself.Listening to the footsteps, Lance already guessed who it was. He sighed secretly in his heart, and still focused on the medicine configuration in front of him.He has done these steps countless times, and he is already very proficient, but he still has to be careful, that's what potions are all about, if there is a slight mistake, the entire bottle of potion will be destroyed.

Lei Zhe leaned casually on another test bench, with the green light of the magic circle reflected in his black eyes, he looked expressionlessly at the flask that Lance was playing with.Lei Zhe didn't speak until Lance used up all the materials and made a total of six vials of medicine.

"Can I go back?" His eyes swept over the six small bottles, "It took you all night for just a few bottles? Why are you making so many magic-eliminating potions?" Lei Zhe was a little jealous, He picked up a bottle casually and looked at it in front of his eyes. The transparent liquid glistened under the magic lamp.

Lance burned some discarded materials on the table and threw them into the waste bin, grabbed the small bottle of potion in Lei Zhe's hand, and said, "I'm going back." His tone was the same as before, without any disturbance.
