Chapter 151 Edward

An Ruosi knew in his heart that Roland actually didn't have anything that he had to investigate by himself.

Although he is lazy and weak, it doesn't mean he is stupid.The reason why Roland said that was clearly because he didn't want him to hear the conversation between Roland and the uncle who was cut in half by something and "echoed from head to tail".

Taking a step back, An Ruosi didn't have any secrets that he had to know.Although he was a little curious about Roland, who was always mysterious, he didn't have any reason to find out all of Roland's secrets.

If you want to say why, it's probably because he feels that he can't get any benefits from it.

Although An Ruosi is a wizard, his curiosity is not as serious as that of his colleagues.He couldn't understand those ancient wizards who regarded experimental data as more important than their own lives.

Obviously, as long as people are alive and healthy, any experimental data can be obtained, isn't it?
This kind of thinking is absolutely taboo in the middle and lower levels of the White Tower.Wizards can't accept a person who "does not know how to make progress" and "loves leisure and slack work" as their friend.

Willing to sacrifice their lives for the truth, this is one of the concepts that the wizards of the White Tower have always adhered to.

And a big difference between the black wizard and the white tower wizard is whether the life sacrificed here is his own or someone else's.

Although these wizards have supernatural powers that are not inferior to those of divine magic professionals, they hope to use their powers in the process of research and development.

Although they have developed many practical or complex little things by virtue of the law of the wall of Aum, they regard them as "small pebbles picked up when looking at the sea of ​​truth", and they only enjoy the process of research, but they don't care about their own. What is the result being used by people.

Perhaps it was because of his experience as a businessman's apprentice before awakening his wizard talent, An Ruosi couldn't understand what these wizards were thinking from the very beginning.

Even if he became Palbchco's student now, he didn't become what a wizard should be because of it.

An Ruosi has a secret.In fact, he didn't have the slightest enthusiasm for the profession of wizards.He learned witchcraft only in the hope that he and his family could survive better and have better material conditions-but at the same time, he himself did not desire such a rich material life.

Even if he ate the hard black bread that could kill people in cold water every day, or tasted the expensive ingredients cooked with spices and salt that nobles can enjoy, although An Ruosi would be happy because of the latter, But there is no obsession that must be obtained.

Whatever it is.

While thinking wildly, An Ruosi walked slowly to the unharmoniously fallen forest.

He knew very well that Roland was just finding an excuse to let him go away for a while.

He didn't think there was really anything to see here.

Besides, even if there is, An Ruosi thinks it has nothing to do with him.

"Ok?"

An Ruosi suddenly saw a familiar object among the fallen wood.

That's kind of like a shield.The steel shell on the outside of the shield was twisted and cracked due to the high temperature, and the exposed oak boards were already a bit scorched black.

"This is……"

An Ruosi's expression suddenly became serious.

He stretched out his right hand to push his one-rimmed glasses.But when he caught a chance, he suddenly remembered that his glasses had been smashed by the mob long ago, and he couldn't help but put down his hands resentfully.

"Why does this thing look so much like Uncle Kluvern's blade shield?"

An Ruosi murmured.

He stretched out his hand and placed it on the shield to feel the temperature.When he was sure that it had become icy cold, he boldly turned it over, stretched out his hand and tentatively patted left and right.

"If this is really a blade shield... it should be in..."

The young wizard hadn't finished speaking when he saw the distorted and deformed shield clang, with slightly twisted spikes protruding from half of it.The other half of the spikes were stuck in the shield because of the distorted structure of the shield.

An Ruosi's eyes narrowed immediately.

He unconsciously pushed his glasses again, and then looked at the messy and charred wood around him.

It seems that these pieces of wood seem to have been shredded by the blade shield...

For some reason, An Ruosi suddenly remembered the strange guy who had been cut in half with Roland before.

The man's skin was half old and half young, and he couldn't tell at a glance whether it was a young man disguised as an old man or an old man disguised as a young man.

If I didn't guess wrong...

An Ruosi had an idea.

He inserted the completely damaged blade shield on the ground, reached out to pick up his cane from the ground on one side, waved it casually, and the transparent magic power formed a spiral cone like a bull's horn, which stuck into it under the manipulation of An Ruosi. He grabbed the middle blade of the blade shield, spun it to collapse the blade, and then nailed it down in one breath, breaking the entire blade shield in half.

Afterwards, An Ruosi lifted the witchcraft, squatted down, reached in and groped.

Not long after, his two fingers pinched a white fragment from it, with some slightly sticky black scorched marks on it.

"Is this... the spine?"

An Ruosi finally realized what he had overlooked.

The only question now is whether this blade shield belonged to Kluvern...or, in other words, whether the attack that cut the man Roland knew in half was actually sent by Kluvern...

Suddenly, An Ruosi's body froze indistinctly, and his movements also stopped.

The young wizard fell silent suddenly, no longer speaking, and even his breathing gradually became lighter.

An Ruosi is now wearing a gray cotton robe with a hood, which is only worn by apprentice wizards of the White Tower.He didn't shorten the hem on purpose, and didn't embroider or write any unorthodox words on the robe. It was just the most common gray robe without any decoration.

——However, under the sunset light from back to front, An Ruosi clearly saw his own shadow wearing the kind of wide-brimmed gentleman hat that Bansa people like to wear!
As if he noticed An Ruosi's gaze, his shadow was like a gentleman from Titan, he took off his hat and bowed deeply to him.

"An Ruosi, meeting for the first time."

A somewhat frivolous young man's voice came from behind An Ruosi.

An Ruosi's reaction was as fast as lightning.He jumped up reflexively, holding the cane backhand with his right hand, while half kneeling on the ground, his left hand immediately penetrated into the robe, and held the ritual knife in the interlayer of the robe, posing the most accurate posture of a wizard to deal with the enemy.

The magic circle for detecting humanoid creatures and monsters engraved in the bones on his left calf has been activated, but An Ruosi's face is still terrible.

In fact, An Ruosi turned around as soon as the voice came out.

However, no matter whether it was his eyes or the double detection ritual, there was no substantial discovery.

On the contrary, An Ruosi found a faint trace of life not far from him.

yes one.Not two.

...it doesn't get any worse than that.

An Ruosi lowered his head calmly, looking at the voice still echoing in the open space in front of him after he turned around: "You can call me Edward."

But he ignored the voice, and just chanted witchcraft to himself, and the azure blue formulas were established one by one.

——Crisis prediction.

——The art of true knowledge.

— Dispelling hallucinations.

——Shadow Exile.

……

The unknown being who claimed to be Edward just looked at An Ruosi leisurely until An Ruosi was covered with various streamers and stopped casting spells.

After that, the shadow left behind after An Ruosi turned his head slowly turned around, and came to An Ruosi in front of An Ruosi against the setting sun.

"You don't need to panic. I'm Claudia's brother, and I won't hurt you," An Ruosi looked at his shadow wearing a wide-brimmed gentleman hat expressionlessly and shrugged to himself, "I Just wanted to negotiate a deal with you."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, An Ruosi stuck out his tongue and licked his somewhat dry lips, and couldn't help but add a little more force to the right hand holding the cane.

"All ears."
