Water and Fire Twins Magician

"Uh...uh..."

Fei'er was half lying on the snow, being held tightly from behind by a skeleton. To prevent her from struggling, her elbows and knees were tightly bound by the skeleton's limbs, her limbs were spread wide, her graceful body twisted uncontrollably, tears hung from the corners of her eyes, her covered mouth was still moaning softly, her breath was as sweet as orchid...

No matter how detailed her plan was or how thoughtful she was, she could never have imagined that the skeleton and the fat man who suddenly appeared in front of her would take away the raw water that she had obtained with so much difficulty in a way that was so easy that it was almost a spoof. This was a huge mental blow to her, and her former calmness was now completely gone.

Paul originally wanted to explain to Fei'er, but she simply wouldn't listen, so he had no choice but to resort to this last resort.

"I'm sorry, little girl. It's too dangerous to let you continue shouting. It's so offensive. I'm sorry." Paul apologized repeatedly.

"I kind of feel like being the skeleton..." Jacques's thoughts drifted away.

"Jacques, look! This is the true face of Paul, the scoundrel! He usually calls you Lord Jacques, but he actually has such a plan behind your back! He is deliberately trying to rob you of the treasures you worked so hard to get!" Gandalf was filled with righteous indignation: "Jacques, you must remember that the Church of Light is your eternal enemy! Never have anything to do with them again!"

"Ah...haha..." Jacques scratched his butt.

Having spent so many years with Gandalf, the old man, how could Jacques not know his intentions? The Laputa Mercenaries represented by Gandalf had always been competing with the Church of Light represented by Paul for the favor of him, the inheritor of the Heavenly Fire. Therefore, Jacques would not easily believe anything the two of them said to smear each other.

But he was indeed very confused and concerned about Paul's purpose in appearing in the frozen abyss.

"Master Jacques, that old man is slandering you! Master Jacques, don't listen to his lies! Paul came here specially to help Master Jacques accomplish his great cause!" After saying that, he moved his mouth a few times and spit out a few human teeth, which he spread on his palm to show Jacques: "Look, Master, this is your enemy. I, Paul, have eaten him completely, with only a little bit of residue left."

"Ugh..." Jacques took three steps back and almost vomited out the food he had eaten the previous night.

"Ah, how can you tell who it is just by looking at the teeth?" Paul rummaged around in his pocket and took out the badge of Sacred Heart College that was originally pinned on Alan's clothes.

Jacques was speechless. Since he had intentionally kept the badge, why did he take out that disgusting thing?

"Master Jacques, you know Paul's true identity. Undead creatures need to constantly replenish their flesh and blood to maintain their living appearance. This guy has caused you so much trouble just now. It is really not a pity that he should die."

"Huh! Shameless! This ogre actually uses Jacques to cover up his evil deeds!" Gandalf cursed.

Jacques agreed.

"Uh, you're not here to help me complete the trial, are you?"

"Haha, that's not the case. This is not good for Master Jacques' growth at all." Paul said, "To be honest, I didn't expect to meet Master Jacques here. In fact, after passing the first stage of the trial, I was hiding under the frozen soil ice core in the form of a private property."

"Ah?" Jacques was a little surprised.

"In order to confirm the reserves of raw water in the ice core and to prevent someone among the trial participants from actually digging out the raw water, I manipulated a group of skeleton soldiers wearing human skin to pretend to be trial participants while I was lying in ambush. I also observed other people at the same time. That's how I discovered Lord Jacques and your companions."

"Oh, those weirdos are really related to you." Jacques suddenly realized.

"The core of this frozen soil is quite hard. From my observation, I am sure that no trial participant can dig out the raw water during the short snow-free period this year, so I am relatively relieved. Paul said, "Hehe, as a Holy Land Light Magician, it is not difficult for me to break this ice core, but it is inevitable that I need to use some higher-level magic. This will definitely expose my identity to the Imperial Army, which is really not what I want. Therefore, I have been waiting for the end of the snow-free period and the retreat of the Imperial Army before taking action."

Jacques thought that Paul's ideas coincided with Fei'er's, and maybe the two of them could talk to each other. No wonder he got along well with both of them.

"After the Imperial Army retreated, I was planning to show up immediately, but I found that the guy from Sacred Heart College refused to leave. I had gathered intelligence before coming here, and I knew that your Imperial College had a feud with the people from Sacred Heart. I thought that this guy must be lying in ambush, and that he would have a fight with you one day, so I continued to wait." Paul paused and continued, "But this guy actually has an innate understanding of the water system's laws. Whether it's you, Lord Jacques, or me, if we continue to fight with him, I'm afraid we will be affected by the snowstorm. That's why I took action to kill that guy. But Lord Jacques, you are really strong. You actually melted the ice core with the power of heavenly fire, saving me a lot of effort, hehe."

"Wait a minute, you said that... You really want to snatch the raw water from me, right?" Jacques' eyes flashed.

"No, no, of course not." Paul immediately handed the glass box to Jacques respectfully: "Master Jacques, you don't understand my intentions. I collect raw water everywhere for Master Jacques..."

"for me?"

"I wonder if Lord Jacques still remembers the sexy thing we took from the Trojan Federation..." Paul said with a lewd smile.

"Helen's gown!" Jacques almost forgot about it.

"That's right. To process this robe, a large amount of raw water is needed." Paul explained, "I have been collecting raw water for more than half a year, but the amount is far from enough. Until a month ago, my sensor suddenly detected an extremely large amount of raw water reserves in this frozen abyss. I also found it very strange. Isn't this just a place for rookies to practice? Doesn't it only produce a few drops of raw water every year? Is there any weather anomaly this year? That's why I came in to take a look."

"That's because you thought the raw water was only inside the ice core, but you didn't know that the large amount of raw water you sensed was in my backpack." Jacques thought, "So, Paul sensed the large amount of raw water here only after I recovered from my cold..."

"So it only took you a few days to pass the first stage? That's not surprising, since you're a Sanctuary Light Mage and an undead creature..." Jacques blurted out carelessly.

"Oh? How did Lord Jacques know that?" Paul thought quickly: "Could it be related to the raw water? Let me take out the sensor and have a look..."

Jacques' heart suddenly tensed up. Fei'er was still conscious. During their conversation, she had already calmed down. If she knew that there was a lot of raw water hidden in his backpack... Jacques didn't dare to think about it. He just wanted to find an excuse to stop Paul, but it was too late.

At Paul's signal, another skeleton came out, carrying a large backpack. The skeleton reached into the backpack and took out a transparent spherical container, which he handed to Paul respectfully.

The mysterious blue liquid flowed in the container, with a few flashes of light, which was very beautiful. The mysterious liquid flowed in a certain pattern, which Jacques did not understand, but Paul could understand.

"This sensor is still at full capacity, but there seems to be something wrong with the direction..." Paul observed the changes in the liquid in the glass ball and slowly moved his gaze to Jacques.

He immediately noticed Jacques's strange expression and distorted facial features.

Paul's ability to read people's expressions was also at the Saint level. When he saw Jacques's expression, he knew something was wrong. He immediately walked behind Jacques and pretended to look around with a sensor.

"Hey, there's movement here!"

Following the so-called instructions of the sensor, Paul came to the frozen soil core. He stared carefully at the hole that Jacques had melted with the power of the sky fire, observed it carefully from top to bottom, and then stretched out a finger to touch and scratch in the hole. After a long while, he suddenly stopped moving, and then turned around with his finger raised.

"Master Jacques, please look."

There was a small drop of crystal clear water on Paul's chubby finger.

Jacques and Paul looked at each other, their eyes darting around, as if they had reached a consensus on something in an instant. And Fei'er, who was still tied to the ground and watching everything coldly, also had a sharp look in her eyes, and it was unknown how much she had seen.
