Mage's Secret

Time passed slowly by the ticking of the magic sundial, the sun approached the horizon, and the milky white and black night sky of the sky dyed the sky above the earth into a dark blue.

The night passed without knowing it, and when the world that knew nothing about it was still asleep, Traphael knocked on Murphy's door.The door was quickly opened from the inside, and Murphy behind the door was already dressed and groomed, apparently waiting for a long time.

Looking at Traphael standing behind the door with red eyes, Murphy showed disapproval: "You really didn't have a good rest."

"Don't be silly," Traphael motioned for Murphy to follow, then turned and left, "I still slept for a while."

Last night, when he learned that the paladin had even changed his bloodline, Traphael's first reaction was that he had been with the devil for too long, so his body underwent a qualitative change in the accumulation of daily quantitative changes.But soon he himself discovered that this conclusion was untenable—he himself, who had been with demons for a longer period of time, was still an extremely ordinary human being.

At this time, Murphy's words woke him up: "I don't think getting along with demons can change a human being so much. Maybe there is some secret hidden in the paladin."

The mage who found the direction immediately entered an academic state. He used the teleportation technique to send himself to the study room, and pushed his ladder with rollers in front of the bookshelves covering two walls, one after another. rummage up.

"I remembered, I seem to have seen similar records..." He only hurriedly explained this sentence to Murphy who was chasing him, and then plunged into the pile of materials.

The mage who is dedicated to research is very focused, and time has completely lost its meaning to him. Murphy has no doubt that if one day he encounters some puzzles that fascinate him and cannot be solved, he will definitely because of long-term Not sleeping, not drinking, not eating caused the body to overload, and finally died in this room full of his sources of wisdom.

Trafal went into total ecstasy, but Murphy didn't.The devil stared closely at the magic sundial hanging on the wall, and when he thought it was time to rest, he said to the mage sitting on the ladder, flipping through the books in his hand, "You should rest, you have enough It’s the same when I read the book tomorrow.”

However, his exhortation became a buzzing noise in the ears of the focused mage. After Murphy repeated the sentence several times, Traphael simply stretched out his hand and made a move in the air. The staff on the ground suddenly disappeared from where it was, and appeared in his hand the next moment.The mage drew his loyal staff in an irregular arc in the air, and whispered a spell.Immediately afterwards, the unprepared demon found himself in the middle of the room—it wasn't even Traphael's room, but the room the mage asked him to choose when he first came to the mage's tower.

Realizing that he was kicked out, Murphy hurried to the door, twisted the handle and pulled it out—it seemed that he had to use some forceful means to get Traphael out of the study, if he just let the mage Staying there alone, without thinking, Traphael will definitely not rest until he finds out the answer he wants.

But no matter how much Murphy pulled the doorknob, the door didn't move at all, not even the thin door panel, which was vulnerable in Murphy's eyes, didn't shake at all.Compared to the door being locked, it was more like the space was frozen.Murphy walked quickly to the window and tried to push the window. Sure enough, the window was firmly fixed like a door.Murphy's face suddenly became ugly - he was not only expelled from the study by Traphael, but also locked in this room by him!Space magic, this is Traphael's forte!

After struggling in the room all night, Trafael finally came to lift the confinement of his room.

Following behind the mage whose eyes were red from staying up all night, but whose face looked tireless because he had found the answer, Murphy's resentment that had been simmering all night slowly dissipated.This kind of energy to focus on and ignore it is exactly what attracted Traphael to him.Even though the magician still doesn't care about his body, he can share his life with the other party through the contract between the two.Thinking of this, Murphy immediately felt relieved.

When the sun finally became dazzling and the city began to wake up, Traphael and Murphy had already arrived at the hotel where the paladins were staying.

Traphael stretched out his hand and tapped on the door of the room a few times, and there was a commotion in the originally quiet room.Just when the mage was silently lamenting the poor sound insulation of the hotel, the paladin's voice came from the door: "Who?"

"It is I," said the mage, "Traphael."

After the door was quiet for a while, the paladin said again: "There are two people outside the door, who is with you?"

Hearing the Paladin's question, Traphael and Murphy glanced at each other, and they saw the surprise in each other's eyes at the same time—the Paladin's senses were already so sensitive.

"It's my apprentice." Traphael replied loudly, as if he was afraid that Devitt would not open the door, he continued, "I took your blood samples yesterday, and the results were obtained last night, don't you Let me in, do you want me to talk to you about it outside the door?"

As a result, as soon as his words fell, the paladin yanked the door open.

"Come in," DeWitt urged in a low voice, while moving away to make way for them.When the two entered the door, the paladin's scrutinizing eyes fixed on Murphy, as if trying to drill a hole in him.And Amos, like yesterday, hid behind DeWitt, letting the cloak cover most of his body.But unlike the vigilance he faced Traphael yesterday, this time he poked his head out and looked curiously at Murphy who was following behind the mage.

Murphy naturally saw him too, but under the gaze of the paladin, he couldn't make any moves.

When both of them entered the door, the paladin closed the door heavily, turned to look at Traphael, and said, "Can you talk now?"

However, Traphael did not answer him right away. Instead, he took out his staff first, and took out several gemstones of different colors.

"Wait a moment." Traphael said while placing the gems in the four corners of the room in a certain order, and then waved his staff rhythmically a few times.The light green gems on the staff and the gems scattered on the ground shone brightly at the same time. After the colored light gradually faded away, the mage took back the staff and said, "This is a sound-proof spell. I think we will use it next The topic of discussion, if it gets out, is not going to be good for any of us here."

Under DeWitt's increasingly sharp gaze, Traphael still looked calm: "Yesterday you asked me why I wanted to find the whereabouts of Amos, and now I can tell you."

After he finished speaking, he put his hand on the shoulder of Murphy who was standing beside him.Murphy turned his head and glanced at him. Seeing that the mage nodded slightly, he removed the camouflage on his body, revealing his crimson eyes, and at the same time released a hint of demonic aura.

Sensing that trace of aura, DeWitt's eyes suddenly opened wide - he had come into contact with this aura once four years ago, and in the past four years, it has been coiled in every nightmare of his countless times.He recognized Murphy immediately, it was the demon who had fought against him before.

The paladin immediately took a step forward, completely blocking Amos behind him, and at the same time stretched out his hand and drew out the long sword hanging from his waist.But it was no longer the long sword full of divine power that had accompanied him for more than 20 years, with the magic pattern carved by the archbishop himself.It was a very ordinary long sword, and it could be bought at a blacksmith shop for only two silver coins.But Traphael believes that this ubiquitous long sword can also explode with great power in the hands of a paladin.

"Don't be in a hurry." Traphael reached out his hand and made a gesture of "be safe and calm", and walked between the former paladin and the demon who were confronting each other.

But this didn't calm DeWitt down. The paladin stared at Traphael and asked, "So you were the black-robed mage at that time! I really didn't expect that the sorcerer who is famous all over the world would also Will choose to fall!"

Before Traphael could react to DeWitt's thorny words, Murphy lost his composure. He pulled Traphael back to him, and looked back at the past not to be outdone: "Have a demon blood What qualifications do you have to accuse others?"

The paladin who was filled with righteous indignation failed to understand Murphy's words immediately. He froze for a moment, and went through the words in his mind again before fully digesting them.So the former paladin, who still had nostalgia for the God of Light in his heart, was caught off guard by the information contained in this sentence.

"You, what did you say?!" DeWitt asked stammeringly, and soon he came back to his senses, and said with a more fierce expression: "Do you think you can disturb my sanity with such words? demon!"

But from his pale face and trembling sword tip, anyone can see that he is fierce and soft-hearted.

Trafael didn't break away from Murphy's hand holding his arm, turned to DeWitt and said, "Murphy didn't lie, Mr. DeWitt, although your blood sample didn't emit any obvious evil aura, it did. It has the blood of a demon. I understand that you may not be able to accept it for a while, but unfortunately, this is the truth."

"Impossible!" DeWitt said, "My parents are both human, and I grew up in the temple..."

"There is a phenomenon called 'atavism phenomenon', I wonder if you have heard of it." Trafael explained, "There may be blood of another species in some organisms, but it is very rare, or even completely invisible. Express it. But if this kind of bloodline is a very strong bloodline, then under some kind of stimulation, it is very likely to be stimulated, thus devouring the original bloodline of the creature and replacing it. This phenomenon has not happened before As far as I can find, there are no less than [-] cases where ordinary humans suddenly turned into elves one day after they became adults, or ordinary animals raised as pets suddenly turned into monsters."

"Do you have any evidence?" DeWitt asked, as if if Trafaler couldn't come up with a convincing reason, he would immediately pounce on him and slit his throat.

However, it was Traphael who nodded without hesitation: "Yes."

The mage took out two small bottles from his arms, which were the crystal bottles containing the blood samples of Dewitt and Amos.He uncorked the bottle and placed it on the table in the middle of the room.

"The spell that proves that the two bloods come from the same species is a very basic entry-level spell." Traphael said while stretching out his staff and knocking on the two bottles respectively.Immediately, the blood in the bottle surged like boiling.The blood in the two bottles rose higher and higher, but instead of tumbling irregularly, it slapped the bottles one after another like a wave.And the direction they slapped was the direction of the other bottle.

At this time, a strange fragrance emerged from the two bottles, filling the whole room.The scent wasn't very good, but it made the three members with demon bloodlines feel an indescribably comfortable feeling.

Traphael withdrew his staff, but the scent did not dissipate for a long time.

"I think every spellcaster will be exposed to this kind of spell. As a former high-ranking paladin with deep magical literacy, I think you should have seen it before." Traphael opened his mouth and broke the room the silence in

DeWitt didn't say a word, but his pale face gave him the answer.
