Struggling to survive in the hands of the male protagonist who also wears books

For the next few days, Crete came to infuse Philip with the blood of the phoenix every night, and the reason was very legitimate: "In the beginning, in order to improve his physique, he needed a lot of phoenix blood."

Fili didn't think it was wrong, but the system would sneer and mock in his head every time—even though the target was Crete—which made Fili more and more unbearable.

But when he asked the system what the wind was, the system hesitated and refused to make it clear. If he continued to ask, the system would start to sing sadly: "You will never understand—I am sad, like I don’t understand during the day— The darkness of the night..."

Fili began to wonder if his system was infected with a virus.

Fortunately, the phoenix magic was progressing very well. After a few days, his little flame finally turned into... a little fireball.

Anyway, I can burn some firewood.

Just when Philip was addicted to magic and couldn't extricate himself, and even forgot his mission to come to this world, news came from Crete: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to go out for an adventure soon.

Fili was stunned when he heard the news, and then he remembered that according to the original book, it was almost time for Crete to go to the Forest of Wind Whispers to find the herbal medicine for Princess Freya to treat her chronic illness.

Princess Freya didn't write much in the original book. Philip only knew that Her Royal Highness is the sister of the same father and mother of Crete. When she was born, the queen had dystocia, which resulted in congenital deficiencies. Although she was protected by the blood of the Phoenix, she was still bedridden all year round. .

In the original book, Crete has a deep relationship with this princess sister, and has gone to war several times because of Freya's illness—of course, most of the dangers have been converted into opportunities in front of the stallion hero.

The original owner Fili and Crete went from a simple master-slave relationship to a deeply affectionate brother, and it was during this adventure to the Wind Whispering Forest.

However, in the end, the original owner turned into a black phoenix, usurped the throne and became Philip I, and killed all of Crete's relatives, including the innocent Princess Freya.

Of course, now that Crete has changed the core, I don’t know if he will take him with him.

If you don't take him there, what will you do with the study of phoenix magic?Fili complained to the system worriedly.

The system has never seen such a person who is dedicated to delivering meat to the door, and said quietly: "Baby, do you still remember what our mission is?"

While calculating the progress of today's magic practice, Philip replied absent-mindedly: "Tong, am I trying to build a relationship with the hero according to your instructions?"

The system can't wait to go back to the past, and slap to death the self who encouraged the host to approach Crete: "You hooked up with the male lead, can he give you the Phoenix ring?"

Feili said strangely: "Didn't you say to observe the male lead nearby, as long as he finds a way to take the Phoenix Ring away when the male lead completes the main task, and let the male lead return empty-handed?" After the carriage, the system gave him a plan.

Although it doesn't sound too reliable.

The system choked: At that time, how could I have imagined that Crete was a gay, or a gay with such fast action?

When the system thought of this, sadness came from it, and it wished to sing a song immediately to express the sadness in its heart - it really planned to do so, but when it cleared its throat and was about to speak, Crete pushed the door in, and the system suddenly became Xiao Zhibi, aggrieved, stopped talking.

Fili still doesn't quite understand the system's mentality of being cowardly when he sees Crete - even he himself is basically used to facing the enthusiastic and cheerful Crete now, and he wouldn't even think about it if it wasn't for the system's reminder. Reminds me of my frightened state at the beginning.

Critter looked at Fei Li, smiled and cut to the chase: "Fei Li, we are leaving tomorrow, have you packed your things?"

Feili was taken aback: "Ah? Your Highness, do you want to take me with you?"

——By the way, after these few days of facing each other day and night, Fili and Crete seemed to be tired of the etiquette of calling each other honorifics, and they changed to a relatively relaxed chat tone at the same time.

Critter looked at him strangely: "Of course, you still need to continue learning your phoenix magic."

A stone fell from the bottom of Philip's heart: "That's really great. I don't have anything to clean up, just prepare a few clothes."

Critter looked at Fili, frowned slightly, and said, "Speaking of which, I was negligent. You have been learning Phoenix magic for several days, and I haven't prepared a wand for you yet—how about it, wait a minute." When I set off tomorrow, I will first find you a mid-level wand to make do with, and I will buy you a high-level wand when I have a chance later."

wand? !

Philip looked at Critter in surprise. The wand is not a cheap piece of equipment. Most low-level magicians can only cast spells purely with mental power, let alone the original owner who is too poor to afford magic materials. .After he started learning magic, he was imagining how long it would take to work for Crete before he could afford a low-level wand, but he didn't expect Crete to give him an intermediate one as soon as he asked!

Seeing Feili's expectant eyes, Kriter felt a great sense of satisfaction in his heart, wishing he could drag him to the bed now - of course, he could only think about it, he was going to set off tomorrow, and the preparations he had to do today were still There are quite a lot, and I don't have time to "infuse the blood of the phoenix" again.

Early the next morning, the attendants ordered by Crete came to wake Philip up, and led him to the back door of the manor, where a familiar carriage was parked.

Feili took a look: It looks familiar, isn't this the one that I brought back at the gate of the Magicians Association?

Climbing into the carriage, Crete was already waiting inside.Crete, who was out on an adventure, changed out of the usually expensive royal prince's clothes, and wore a traveler's outfit that was easy to move and unobtrusive, with a decent long sword on his back.

Dressed like an ordinary adventurer, Crete exudes a wild charm.

Turns out the car was used by Crete when he was out on adventures, no wonder it doesn't look fancy or special.Feli thought to himself, it seems that the last time we met, Crete had ventured back from somewhere.

Critter seemed to see what Philip was thinking, and introduced with a smile: "This car was prepared by my father when I was 15 years old when I first went out for an adventure. It has not broken down in the past few years, and I have been using it all the time. It's gone."

Philip nodded and asked, "Your Highness, are we the only two in this adventure?"

Crete: "Of course not, we will join the others after we leave the city."

After speaking, Crete took a deep look at Fili, and said with a smile, "It's not impossible if you want to take an adventure together, but it will have to wait until next time."

Fili felt that this sounded weird, but he couldn't feel anything wrong, so he could only pretend that Crete was joking, and said jokingly: "Then I will wait."

While speaking, the carriage started to move. There were only Kriter and Fili in the carriage. Fili was a little bored, so he started talking nonsense with the system.

Philip: "Tong, do you know when Crete came to this world?"

System: "I don't know, the time flow inside and outside the world is different, and the exact time cannot be estimated. But because I entered this world after 0378, he should have come earlier than you."

Philip: "I think so too. Seeing that he is so proficient as the crown prince now, he should have worn it for a long time."

Speaking of which, Fili suddenly became curious about Crete's system, and asked cautiously: "By the way, it sounds like you are quite familiar with 0378?" The same scene is still vivid in my mind, so Philip can only ask tentatively first.

Since Feili started practicing Phoenix magic, the system has developed a kind of unreasonable guilt and love for the host, so now it doesn't blow up anymore, it just snorted: "It's not very familiar, do you want to know yourself and the enemy?"

Fili thought I was just bored and curious.But when communicating with the system, he changed his wording: "That's not true, it's just that you don't have a good relationship with him, and you are still wondering why the two of you were assigned to a world to do tasks."

And you know it doesn't know your state, no matter how you look at it, it looks like you are deliberately asking for trouble.

The system readily admitted this time, and said viciously: "I chose this task on purpose to make trouble for it! Who made it so annoying!"

Feili: "...Then why didn't you choose the mission that prevented Crete's main mission?" According to the system, Crete's getting the Phoenix Ring is only a side mission on the opposite side, and even if he doesn't complete it, he will only lose some rewards.

System: "Do you want to confront Crete head-on?"

Fili compared the strength gap between himself and Crete, and found that he was in a state of being beaten by Crete for a long time, so he said firmly: "I don't want to."

The system also looked sad: "Yeah, I don't want to either. So I chose this task, that is, when I want to do the task, I will cause a little trouble for 0378. I don't want to be beaten to death with the host."

Seeing what the system said, Feili immediately felt like two rookies hugging each other for warmth—it turns out that his own system is also a person who does not seek to make progress. There is not only a lazy me in the world, but also a cowardly you... …

The system didn't know about Fei Li's mental activities, and suddenly sighed again, saying resentfully, "Now I don't even have the intention of asking you to make trouble for it..."

Fili: "...why?"

System: "Don't ask, it's sad to ask Pacific—Where's my microphone?"

Seeing that the system was about to sing again, Philip wanted to bite off his tongue in regret, and said in horror: "Tong! Tung! Don't speak, don't speak! One of your own!"

At the very moment, Crete suddenly spoke to save Feili: "Fili, do you feel a little bored?"

Fili turned his attention away from the system, and saw Kriter's concerned eyes.Although I had a great time talking nonsense with the system in my heart, but from the outside world, I guess I was in a daze, so it was no wonder that Crete would ask this question.

Philip waved his hand: "No, I was just thinking about something."

Crete took out a golden booklet from the small cabinet of the carriage and handed it to Philip: "This is for you."

Philip took the booklet and looked at it—it was full of characters he didn't know.

It was only then that Fili remembered that he was still illiterate.

But it was too late to expose his illiteracy in front of Crete, so Fili could only pretend to turn the page, and asked tentatively, "This is..."

Crete did not see that Fili was illiterate: "This is part of the phoenix magic that I have improved and optimized. My time is limited. Although you learn phoenix magic very quickly, it is impossible to teach you all the magic. This booklet Just keep it and watch it, it’s good to pass the time.”

I didn't expect Crete to be able to improve and optimize the magic of the predecessors!Fili hugged the booklet in shock, tears streaming down his face: But he can't read!How to learn this?

Fili turned to the first page, pretended to read it seriously, and began to call the system in his heart: "Tong, is the text really not discussed?"

The system is also very difficult: "This is really not there."

Damn, it seems that learning characters must be put on the agenda.Fili gritted his teeth and thought, being illiterate really sucks!

Fili pretended to be fascinated by the brochure in pain, and persisted for almost an hour. Finally, he felt the carriage shake and stopped, and couldn't help but cheer up: "It's here?"

Critter hummed, jumped out of the carriage first, and let Philip follow.

After getting out of the carriage, Feili couldn't help but see a bright light: the carriage had already arrived at the gate of the city, and the tall city wall was right in front of him.The stones on the city wall are flat and rough, and the foot of the city wall near the moat is covered with moss, and there are some marks left by the impact of weapons.Outside the city gate is a wide moat, and a long suspension bridge spans the moat for pedestrians to walk.

Fili, who has been staying at home since he arrived in Crete Manor, couldn't help but be amazed. This kind of simple and solemn medieval city-state scenery has not been seen much even in movies.

Crete was accustomed to the scenery, and waved to the side of the road, and three people followed from there.

Fili took a closer look, and he knew two of the three people—the female magician Vera and the female warrior Lacey who were with Crete when he first met Crete.There was also a man who appeared to be an archer who had not been seen.

Tsk, you have to bring a harem with you when you go out on an adventure.

Fili pretended to be nonchalant, but actually gave Crete a envious and jealous look. Critter was a little uncomfortable under Fili's gaze, coughed and introduced: "This is Vera Tuya, a level 7 magician. Miss Lante, this is Miss Lacey, a level 6 fighter, and this is Zero, a level 6 archer."

Then Crete introduced Fili to the other side: "This is Fili, my magician's servant."

Lacey also recognized the little magician who was picked up by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a while ago. Although she was a little curious about how the other party got into the adventure team of Crete, she was not a talkative person, so she nodded her head as a greeting.

Vera also remembered Feili, but this time she didn't hug her directly, she just blinked and said with a smile: "Hey, cutie, we meet again! Do you remember me?"

As soon as the name "cute" came out, Crete's face darkened suddenly.

Fei Li was also shocked by this title, and twitched the corners of his mouth to greet Vera Lacey: "Hi, Miss Vera, Miss Lacey, long time no see."

Then he greeted the archer and said, "Mr. Jie Luo, it's my first meeting. It's an honor to meet you."

Gero is a bearded, ageless man, because his messy hair and thick beard cover most of his face, making him look decadent and wretched.He didn't seem to be interested in Fili, so he just lazily stretched out his hand to respond, and asked Critter with a grass root in his mouth: "Is everyone here? When we are all here, let's go."

Crete didn't care about Gero's unruly attitude, and said with a smile: "There are six people, all get into my car, let's go."

six people?Philip looked around, isn't there only five?

Just when Fili wondered whether it was his eyesight or Crete's mathematics, there was a voice behind him: "Your Highness, you are all sitting in the car, and I am the only one driving the car. Isn't it a bit unfair?"
