Cards are born to be king

"Amos?"

Jiang Yong was both surprised and happy. He brought the mirror in front of him, and stroked the mirror with his fingertips.It was obviously a hard and smooth surface to the touch, but Amos's face really appeared on it.

Seeing Jiang Yong's enthusiastic exploration, Amos had a smile on his lips, and he said:

"This is my gift to you... the Altes crystal mirror. With this, we can communicate no matter how far away we are."

"Is this paired? I can only use this to communicate with you? What about the others with crystal mirrors?"

Jiang Yong was very curious about the principle of this crystal mirror that can communicate and talk, and the two exchanged ideas about it.Mostly, of course, he asks questions and Amos answers.It's been a long time since we saw each other, but the atmosphere between the two is very harmonious.Amos put down the quill in his hand, leaned on the armchair and answered Jiang Yong's question slowly.

He looked relaxed, rarely lazy.The silver-white hair is slightly longer and hangs down to the cheeks.Amos casually tucked some obstructive hair behind his ears.According to his mood at the moment, those elf ears drooped slightly, showing a bit of leisure.

"...It turns out that this is the case, alchemy is really magical."

Jiang Yong sighed.He suddenly thought of something, picked up the scorpion tail hook dagger from the table, and shook it in front of the crystal mirror.

"Thank you for the dagger, it looks sharp. I just can't use it very well."

"The tail hook of the lion and scorpion king will increase its toughness and sharpness after being soaked in the blood of the double thorn beast, and retain the toxin in it as much as possible."

Amos earnestly taught, earnestly exhorting:

"Have you seen the small bottle of translucent potion in the ring? That is the corresponding antidote that I refined. If you are accidentally scratched, you can save yourself by drinking a drop within 3 minutes."

Speaking of this, there was a hint of a smile in his tone.And Jiang Yong frowned as if dissatisfied with the general situation, and protested:

"How could I have made such a stupid mistake."

"Yes, you are very smart."

Amos smiled reassuringly, his eyes soft.

"There is nothing wrong with just being careful. Swift is a knowledgeable pharmacist, and studying with him will definitely benefit you a lot."

Swift is the name of Jiang Yong's dean, and he should know Amos from his familiar tone.

"Is there anything else you don't understand?"

Jiang Yong sighed.Although they didn't get along for a long time, the erudition that Amos showed inadvertently made him admire.What's more, this person is still so young.

"The world is so big, and the mysteries in it are as vast as the bright stars. I am just a small member of the whole world, and of course there will be people who don't understand."

Hearing his words, Amos had a warm smile in his eyes.In fact, in his opinion, Jiang Yong's talent can be called abnormal.The seven-card posture is unrivaled in the world.I don't know how elegant he will be when he really grows up.

The two chatted like friends for many years. Jiang Yong talked about his new roommate and the hot-tempered and beautiful dean of the Alchemy Academy.Amos talked about the famous Griffin Legion in the mainland of the Star Empire, and the dreamy and beautiful Keleus Fairy Lake in the Elven Forest.

Time passed quickly in the pleasant conversation, Jiang Yong didn't realize how long he had been talking, there was a knock on the door of his dormitory... It was his roommate who asked him to go to dinner together.Only then did Jiang Yong realize the passage of time, and when he talked to Amos, there was a bit of regret in his tone.

"It's okay, you go first. If you have any questions, you can contact me through the crystal mirror."

There was encouragement in Amos' tone, and he resumed his elegant and upright sitting posture.

"I'm here at this time of day."

"By the way, Amos, there is one more thing."

Suddenly remembered something, Jiang Yong hurriedly called him, hesitated for a while and whispered:

"What should I do with my card? You said before that the real branding can only be done by my mentor. Do I have to go to the dean?"

Amos pondered for a while after hearing the words, and finally decided:

"The temporary brand I gave you before can last for two months under normal circumstances. Don't tell other people about it. Although you have entered the School of Pharmacy now, many pharmacists also have cards. There are very few low-level ones, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

"At most one month, this matter can be resolved."

Hearing Amos' words, Jiang Yong was relieved.In fact, he also has some thoughts in his heart.After all, this matter is related to his own life and safety, and he cannot completely rely on outsiders.A new area has recently been added to the pocket watch space. Jiang Yong once took a brief look at it, and most of it is similar to human-shaped wax figures.

It's just that they are all famous star disciples in the history of Andeste, including all ages.As long as Jiang Yong passes the corresponding level, he can get the guidance of the designated person.Of course, those levels are much more difficult than the flame thorn card and fireball card, Jiang Yong has not really tried it yet.

Maybe this is also a path to solve your own problems.

Thinking in his heart, he didn't show it.Saying goodbye to Amos, Jiang Yong tidied up the things on the table, carefully put the crystal mirror back into the space ring, then stood up and turned off the alchemy lamp, opened the dormitory door and met with his roommates.

On the other side, Amos looked at the crystal mirror that had been restored to its original shape, and the smile in his eyes had not disappeared.His fingertips caressed the cold and hard mirror, tapping thoughtfully.Suddenly, there was a knock on his door.Putting the crystal mirror back into his pocket, he listened to the sound coming from outside the door, his originally displeased gaze slowed down, but the previous smile disappeared.

"Please come in."

"Huh, it's still quiet here."

A woman in a luxurious dress came in, holding a heavy multi-layered skirt with both hands, and she was carrying the cold fragrance of frosty roses.After closing the door carefully, she breathed a sigh of relief, took off the complicated and expensive ornaments on her head, and stroked the thick lace ribbon in disgust.The next moment, the woman sat directly on the soft cushion beside the sofa and kicked off the stiletto shoes on her feet.

Without the demureness she pretended to be at the banquet, she looked a little more real and cute when she was in a hurry.Seeing this scene, Amos sighed helplessly, made a cup of tea and handed it to the woman.

"Sophia, the banquet is not over yet, you shouldn't be here."

"Come on, it's not like you don't know."

Sophia smiled self-deprecatingly.She held the cup and sipped lightly, with a natural dignity and elegance in her movements.Then she put the cup in her hand on the short plane next to her, her expression relaxed a little:

"The fruit leaf tea you brought from the elf forest is delicious. Why, has the crystal mirror been sent out?"

"Ah."

Amos said vaguely and didn't say much.Sophia sighed, she didn't know what to think of, she was stunned for a moment, lowered her eyes and gave a chuckle, with an unknown sadness and sigh in it.Amos felt her depression, thought of what he just knew, thought about it, and decided to ask another day.

"Just say what you want to ask."

But what he didn't expect was that Sophia noticed his hesitation and brought it up.Amos couldn't help laughing and crying, and couldn't help joking:

"Sometimes I really don't understand women. Can you all read minds? Know what's going on in everyone's mind?"

"Ha, it's rare that there is something that the Lord of the Gray Tower can't figure out."

Sophia was obviously pleased by his words, with joyful smile lines appearing in the corners of her eyes, she said with a half-smile:

"If you want to ask about that, it's true."

"is it?"

Speaking of this, Amos's expression turned serious.He looked at Sophia probingly, with seriousness and doubts in his eyes:

"Aren't you going to wait for him?"

"Amos, you don't know what it's like to wait."

Sophia sighed.She spread her fingers and looked at her newly dyed nail polish, murmured with a bit of despondency:

"Month after month, year after year, I was imprisoned in this cold castle, waiting for my heart to be cold. I used to be young and said I would wait for him for ten years, but now ten years have passed, but he It hasn’t come yet. How many decades do people have to live in this life? I don’t want to wait hopelessly.”

Speaking of this, her eyebrows suddenly raised, a little more aggressive:

"You guys like to make unrealistic promises to women and then make us wait. Why should I listen to him, why should I wait for him to pick me up? I have to find him myself. When I leave this icy castle, sooner or later I will rush in front of him and throw those previous promises in his face! Damn it..."

"Calm down, Sofia, calm down."

Amos smiled bitterly, and persuaded in a low voice:

"It's not that Lei doesn't want to come pick you up, just wait a little longer..."

Immediately afterwards, he saw Sophia's raised eyebrows again, and quickly changed his words:

"Okay, we won't wait. It's just that the method you chose to leave the castle is really a bit reckless."

"Hmph, besides this, what else can I do."

Sophia's excitement has calmed down.She picked up the teacup, sipped the half-cold tea in it, her eyes were a little dim:

"I'm not like you, everyone has strong power. I'm just an ordinary person. As long as my blood roots stay here, where can I go except marriage. After all, I have half of my father's blood in my body. My father treated me and my mother like this, even severed the relationship, we still can't get out of this besieged city."

As she said that, her expression dimmed, and she remembered someone, and she said to herself with some confusion in her eyes:

"He is just a coward and dare not face me. Maybe I am the only one who ridiculously took the previous promises seriously. Amos, do you know? I used to think that people should pursue their own happiness and not be swayed by others." But now, my thoughts have changed a bit. The empire has supported me and allowed me to live a luxurious life. I have no worries, no worries about food and clothing. Since I have enjoyed all this, I should also bear the responsibility."

"As a princess of the empire, I always want to get married. Instead of letting my father marry me to a rude blue-skinned man in a few years, I might as well choose one myself now. Hmph, wait until I find him and scold me." After his meal, I will forget about him, no matter what happens to him."

Seeing the casual words of his childhood playmate at this moment, Amos sighed softly, patted her on the shoulder comfortingly, and said meaningfully:

"Cheer up, things may not turn around."

"After all, the turning point is slim, it is better to firmly grasp the present that can be grasped.

Sophia smiled, deliberately off topic.

"I heard that Olanna invited you to the opening ceremony, why did you refuse?"

"There are people there that I don't want to meet."

Amos said lightly, and Sophia curled her lips slightly when she heard the words, and sighed:

"If they hear you say that, I don't know how many people will be disillusioned. Those children all worship you as a character in legends. Who would have thought that you would be so cold. So where are you going to go next?"

"Legends are legends after all. I'm just a man of flesh and blood. If they really understand me, they will regret it."

Amos sneered and shook his head mockingly.His fingertips inadvertently brushed the cold and smooth surface of the crystal mirror in his pocket, and his eyes softened slightly.

"There's something going on in the second chasm, and I suspect those things are coming back. Must see for myself as soon as possible."

"Dangerous? Do you need help?"

Sophia suddenly became alert, with a little more worry in her tone.But Amos shook his head again.

"No, this matter cannot be made public at present. I have my own helpers."

Hearing this, Sophia didn't ask much. She and Amos had an extraordinary understanding, and naturally knew that there were some things that she couldn't know.Otherwise, you will only hurt yourself.So she paused for a while before she considered and continued to speak:

"Aren't you going back to the Temple of the Stars? I heard that Korodo has been waiting for you. He said that you are the only one who can take the position of the chief priest, and he will beat the others when they come."

"Do not."

Amos was relieved, and the corners of his lips curled up in relief.

"If he likes to wait, let him wait. I have let go of the past. What's more, there are other people who interest me more now, and I don't have extra energy to worry about other things."

Hearing this, Sophia also echoed with a smile, jokingly said:

"Is it your little friend? Amos, you really value him. I never thought you could pay so much attention to a person."

"Pay attention..."

Amos was stunned for a rare moment, and then his expression slowed down.

"I just saw hope in him."

He said meaningfully.

The author has something to say: Sorry for the lateness today, some Kawen qwq.

Sister Sophia is a good person. She is a slightly more important supporting role cough. She gave Amos something when she was still slaying dragons xd
