Mage's Secret

To Trafaler's surprise, Lenny turned down his invitation.

The older demon scanned the extremely messy research room with his long and narrow eyes, smiled and shook his head: "No need, I think the atmosphere here is pretty good."

After speaking, he snapped his fingers, and a black carved armchair appeared behind him.Lenny sat down on the chair, and as soon as he raised his hand, a cup of tea with golden patterns appeared in his hand.After taking a sip of the suspicious bright red liquid in the cup, he stretched out his hand and signaled to the mage, "Please go ahead, too."

After Traphael was also ready on another chair in the research room, Lanny smiled and said: "After Murphy came home, he told us a lot about what he saw here, most of which are related to you I learned a lot of human spells from him, and they are really quite exquisite. The spell I just sent to you was inspired by human spells, and I just researched it not long ago. I learned from him, You are one of the greatest mages of mankind, so I made a special trip to communicate with you about spells."

Under normal circumstances, Traphael would naturally accept Lanny's proposal with pleasure. After all, knowledge is the most important wealth for him, and his original intention of summoning demons was also to understand the spells of the demon world to seek a breakthrough.But at this time, for some reason, the mage had no interest in discussing spells with Lenny.

"Compared to exchanging spells, I want to know when Murphy will come." Traphael rubbed his faintly stuffy chest and said.

Hearing his words, Lanny let out a somewhat abrupt laugh: "Why did you directly ask me when Murphy will come over, instead of asking if he will come?"

"What do you mean by that?" Lenny's words made Trafael's heart tighten.

Lenny laughed again, and he put the teacup aside as if there was a table next to the chair.But there was actually nothing there, so the quilt fell to the ground as soon as he let go.But in the end, the sound of the teacup being smashed did not resound, and when the teacup fell into the air, it disappeared instantly.Traphael was naturally not intimidated by his tricks, but Lenny's laid-back attitude made him very anxious.

After straightening his neckline again, Lanny finally spoke, "Murphy has been away from home for so long, and my mother is very worried, and my mother is also very worried about his marriage, so I'm afraid he won't be able to make it for a while."

Hearing the word "marriage" from brother Murphy's mouth, Traphael's mind went blank with a buzz.Trafael was still in a trance, and Lanny continued on his own: "After all, for our Norber family, marriage is a major event in a lifetime. After all, there can only be one partner in a lifetime, so it's okay to be careless .”

"Then... when will he get married?" Traphael asked awkwardly, making it so difficult for him to speak for the first time.

"Well, it's hard to say. Although I already have a partner, my mother is not at ease, so I have to observe it for a while." Lanny said, before Traphael continued to ask, he suddenly changed "But it doesn't matter whether he can come or not. Although it may be a bit arrogant to say this, it is also true--my research on magic is much better than him. The knowledge you have learned about magic from me , will be more comprehensive and accurate than what you get from Murphy."

Traphael didn't doubt Lanny's words, but at this moment, he really didn't have any interest in discussing spells.His face became terribly pale, and he felt his stomach churning again, causing his vision to blur due to the pain.

Traphael blinked quickly a few times, suppressing the moisture in his eyes, and almost exhausted all his strength to keep his tone steady: "Sorry, I feel a little uncomfortable, so I'm sorry, please go ahead. "

After leaving the room, Traphael hardly remembered how he got back to the bedroom.He tremblingly walked to the side of the bed, finally his sore limbs could no longer support the weight of his body, so he fell heavily into the soft bed.His consciousness was drowsy, his mind was in a mess, and fragments of getting along with Murphy kept flashing before his eyes.Those sweet or not-so-happy times in the past seem to have become needles piercing the mage's heart at this moment.

The dim room was terribly quiet. It took a long time for Traphael to let out a sigh of relief, but his hands on his chest were trembling visibly.

After Trafael left, Lenny, who was rejected, did not return to the Demon Realm.After a simple disguise like Murphy, he stayed in the mage's tower, and went to Traphael to talk about spells when he was free.But looking at his face that was [-]% similar to Murphy, Traphael felt very depressed, so he never thought of talking to him.

The appearance of Lenny caused another small sensation among the apprentices, not only because of his outstanding appearance and temperament, but also because of his similar appearance to Murphy.After all, Traphael kept silent about the reason for Murphy's departure, and shortly after Murphy left, another man who looked similar to Murphy appeared in the Mage Tower. No one would believe that such a thing was a coincidence.

This is certainly not a coincidence, but Traphael will not explain the reason to the apprentices.At this moment, he didn't even care about the new rumors that appeared among the apprentices.As if he didn't see the indifference shown by Traphael at all, Lenny still kept close to the mage at a high frequency, and even his words and actions were frivolous and ambiguous every time.This made Traphael's nerves more and more tense, and his endurance was almost reaching its limit.

However, in some respects, Lanny is better than Murphy. He never touches Traphael himself, nor does he make the distance between the two too close. Even Traphael has to admit that Lanny The charm he showed besides his looks was more than a little bit better than Murphy's.But it didn't work for Trafael at all, and it wasn't because Trafael already had Murphy in mind.

And the other thing was that Lenny would never just walk into Traphael's study, he would knock on the door before entering.But this didn't make Traphael's impression of him any better, because even without permission, he would still open the door and go in without permission.

Traphael was already feeling unwell, and it got worse when he was depressed.So the mage ate less and less day by day, and his whole body was visibly haggard.Finally, after Lanny walked into the study room again while studying in Traphael, the mage couldn't help retching out of boredom.

This time the retching was worse than usual, and Trafael almost turned his empty stomach out.His actions also startled Lenny, the demon quickly stepped forward to support the mage, patted the mage's back to make him feel better, and used magic to detect the mage's physical condition.Lenny did come here for another purpose, but it was not his original intention to bring down the mage's body.

Upon investigation, Lanny discovered an incredible event-Traphael was pregnant, and Traphael himself didn't know about it.

"Murphy is quite capable." Lenny withdrew his hand supporting the mage, and an intriguing smile appeared on Lenny's face.But Traphael had just recovered, his stomach still hurt badly, and he couldn't hear his words clearly.

After this incident, Lenny's attitude towards Trafalle changed a lot.Not only did he come to him less frequently, but Traphael could clearly feel that Lanny's attitude towards him had become more respectful after each meeting.Although it is not clear what the reason for this change occurred, it made the mage breathe a sigh of relief anyway.

But there was one thing that made Traphael very puzzled, and what he couldn't help but care about was that apart from respecting him, Lenny seemed to have become concerned about his health.And this kind of concern for unknown reasons is not fake at all, and it has no purpose. The mage can clearly feel Lanny's sincerity.But this is exactly the problem. The concern shown by Lenny made Trafael more vigilant.

But just like Lenny didn't pay attention to Traphael's alienation before, he didn't seem to notice the mage's vigilance at all.He even brought food and fruit to the mage's study in person, and told him to eat regularly and pay attention to nutrition.

When Lenny brought him dinner and fruit after dinner, Traphael finally couldn't help but said, "You don't have to do this kind of thing yourself, my apprentice will do it well."

"No, I think it's still necessary for me to do this. After all, your apprentices won't stare at you like me to finish your meal." Lanny said with a smile, "Supplementing nutrition is very necessary. Mother is pregnant. There was a fight between our family and another family shortly after Murphy, and although it ended in our family's victory, it was a really difficult battle. In that case, my mother's meals were all There is no guarantee of regularity, so the mother always thinks that Murphy has no horns because she did not supplement enough nutrients when she was pregnant."

Although Traphael thought the example Lanny gave was very strange, another information revealed in his words made him more concerned-"No horns?" Traphael asked.

"Yeah," Lanny nodded, "the demons in our family will grow two horns within three to five years after hatching, but nothing grows on Murphy's head until he reaches adulthood. Maybe it's because For this reason, my father and mother have always felt that Murphy has not grown up, so they always spoil him and don't want to give him too much burden. And Lorenzo and I--Murphy's other brother--also took the initiative I started various tasks at home and wanted to let him live a relaxed and happy life. But for some reason, he became more and more rebellious, which made us all worry about him. This time I came to the mainland too, if It's not that Lorenzo and I really have something to do, and Murphy insisted on coming, we will never let him step into this dangerous land. But what we didn't expect was that he After going back, the changes are very obvious.”

Speaking of this, Lanny showed a gratified smile: "The whole person has become much more stable, as expected of being a father."
