Northern Lights

It is not difficult to see the king's trust in this witch-hunting expert from Shao's words.

The corner of Kimi's mouth twitched into a mocking smile, "Sure enough, I've heard about Lord DiResta's various tricks before I even got to the palace. Is it a bit too much to make the subjects panic and unsure before the wizard is caught?"

"It seems that His Royal Highness is not very confident in my method." DiResta remained expressionless when questioned, "But this method has been practiced in several countries and achieved good results."

"My people are very busy, there's no need to waste time on this kind of thing." Kimi didn't intend to give him a good face at all.

As soon as they met, Hakkinen felt a little embarrassed. DiResta was found by him, and he could only say to his son: "Your people are also part of Lapland, and you have the responsibility to play for Lapland. You have to deal with this matter." Leave it alone."

"That can't go on like this endlessly. If the common people continue to farm and produce, the economy of Lapland will be affected." Kimi wanted to use other methods to get the king to order an end to this ridiculous farce.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the investigation will only take a week." DiResta responded with a smile.

Sebastian returned directly to Bernie's residence. The old man was very happy to see him back. They had been together for almost a year, and they developed a family-like friendship. Moreover, during Sebastian's absence, Bernie lost his right-hand man , Life and work are not as smooth as before.

"Wow, I've only been back for a few days, why are you messier here than when I first came here." Sebastian found the room as unknowable as when he first came last year when he entered the door.

"It's not all because of you. You left in such a hurry and didn't clean it for me." Bernie will not admit that he messed up the house himself, and he has been helping him develop a hidden body day and night these days There is no time to clean the house with the magic potion.

"Didn't I come back to clean it for you?" Sebastian spread his hands helplessly, anyway, he came back to be a servant, whether at home or in the palace.

Bernie took out two bottles of potion from the cabinet, "Don't worry about it yet."

"Can this really help me hide my magic?" Sebastian looked at the two bottles of potion, one red and one blue, a little hesitant to believe it.

"The red bottle can make your magic disappear, and the blue bottle is the antidote." Bernie explained.

Holding the potion, Sebastian was a little afraid to drink it, and squeezed out a smile to cover up his anxiety, "Are there any side effects? It won't be all hair loss."

"What? Didn't Kimi tell you?" Bernie was a little taken aback, he had clearly explained the dangers of the potion to him before leaving.

"Tell me what?" Sebastian didn't react for a moment, but he seemed to understand something when he saw the expression on Bernie's face.

Bernie sniffed his nose. Originally, he planned very shrewdly. Kimi told Sebastian about the problem of this medicine, but who knew that the crown prince was more sophisticated than him, and brought Sebastian back without saying anything. That's it. The ball was kicked in front of him again, how would he explain it to the kid.

"What are you hiding from me?" He hesitated, making Sebastian even angrier, obviously he was the little white rabbit tricked back by two foxes.

"This medicine was invented by a magician decades ago to deal with the pursuit of witch hunters. After drinking it, the magician's mana temporarily disappears, just like ordinary people, so that he will not be suspected, and there will be no harm. There is a way to find out that he has something to do with magic." Bernie could only bite the bullet and explain the story to him.

"And then?" Sebastian was waiting for him to continue the rest of the story, and he wouldn't be so embarrassed if the matter ended here.

"The magician used this method to escape the witch hunters. He was very happy and thought it was a great invention, so he used this method to help more and more magicians, but as more and more people used it, he found that Another question." Bernie still paused at the crucial part.

"What's the problem?" Sebastian was a little anxious,

"Some magicians can't get their mana back after drinking the antidote." Bernie said in a low voice. To a magician, losing mana is equivalent to having his hands cut off by a normal person, which is equivalent to telling him to drink this medicine. He might lose his hands, which is a bit cruel.

Although his voice was soft, Sebastian could hear every word clearly, but he was still a little bit confused, "What do you mean by never coming back? Forever?"

Bernie nodded, "Yes, after drinking this bottle of medicine, you have a [-]% chance of losing your magic forever and becoming an ordinary person."

No, he wouldn't be an ordinary person, Sebastian knew in his heart, he had always relied on magic, and if he suddenly lost him, he would be worse than an ordinary person, the fear was like a normal person's fear of losing his hands.

"It's too late for you to regret it now." Bernie could understand what he was afraid of. "Lapland has not closed the city yet, and you are still free."

fatal test

Sebastian was lying on his little bed, watching the night sky until dawn, ten percent chance was not a small chance, but if he left now it would definitely raise suspicions, and he didn't want to leave Kimi either.

After sunrise, he picked up the bottle of red potion on the bedside table. For his lover, he was willing to bet on the 90.00% possibility. Withdrawing the talent given to him, he can only accept his fate.

"You don't seem to be in good spirits." Kevin met him at the door of the palace with the clothes that the crown prince had changed.

How can he be in good spirits after not sleeping all night, but he doesn't need to know about this, Sebastian made a joke to cover it up, "I've been home for a few days and I'm actually going to sleep."

"I heard that witch hunting experts are going to investigate the servants in the palace today, and those selected by him will be tested for drugs." Kevin told him mysteriously.

"Did he pick people randomly to be tested?" Sebastian asked the question pretending to be casual.

Kevin shook his head, "That's not true. They say that the witch hunting expert is very powerful. He can tell whether you are a wizard at a glance, and his accuracy rate is as high as [-] to [-] percent."

Sebastian felt a fine layer of sweat forming on his palms, and now he could only hope that Bernie's medicine would work before he risked losing his magic.

Kimi was anxiously waiting for Sebastian in the room. Bernie must have told him the possible consequences of the potion. He was not sure that Sebastian would choose him. When he saw him push the door in, Kimi felt his world light up , "I knew you would come."

Sebastian smiled bitterly, what else could he do if he didn't come, when he drank the bottle of potion in the morning, there was no way out.

"You'll be fine, I believe in Bernie's level." Seeing how nervous he was, Kimi pulled him to her side.

He also knew what consequences this would bring, but he didn't tell him when he was in Espoo, Sebastian was a little angry that he didn't have the courage to tell himself.

In the banquet hall of the palace, all the attendants lined up in several rows, standing there neatly to accept the inspection of the wizard hunter DiResta.

Sebastian felt the pause as his piercing eyes flicked over him, and couldn't help but tense up. He must be suspicious, after all, his reputation is not for nothing.

After a round of patrolling, he asked people to announce the list, and those who were called had to undergo a drug test, and the others could leave.

Sure enough, Sebastian's name was called out, but what was strange was that Kevin's name was right behind him, but he had no intention of worrying about others now.

"At first I thought he was powerful, but it turned out to be nothing more than that." After the crowd dispersed, Kevin complained to Sebastian, "It seems that his reputation is all false, maybe none of us wizards, but It's really bad luck to be framed by him to make up for it."

Sebastian forced a smile at him. Kevin has been closer to him since he helped him make that pair of underwear in Espoo. He said that he has no relatives in Lapland, and no one treats him so well. They will be friends from now on As expected, he is young, and a little thing can make him feel heartbroken.

"You really don't look well." Kevin looked at him worriedly, then went to pour him a cup of hot tea, "Come on, have a cup of tea to refresh yourself."

Sebastian really needs to refresh himself. Such an opponent needs more physical strength to deal with, otherwise he will definitely lose. After he drank the cup of black tea, it seemed to have some effect, and his mood was not as low as before .

More than 100 servants in the palace were singled out for drug testing
