Mage's Secret

Murphy walked over to him and said, "I know what you're worried about, but look, I really just came to see this festival and celebrate it like a normal human being. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary. I even bought a lot of little things.”

Traphael looked at him and hummed noncommittally, with no expression of joy or anger.

"What are you going to do now? Take me back?" Murphy asked.

Traphael looked at him with probing eyes for a while, then shook his head and said, "Since we've already come out, it's okay to go shopping with you for a while."

"So, you promised to come with me from the very beginning, why not make it like this." After getting Trafael's compromise, Murphy looked very proud.

Traphael squinted at him and frowned, and Murphy stopped the topic.

The two walked for a while, and Traphael suddenly said: "What you said before is not correct."

"What did you say?" Murphy stopped playing with the little puppet he just bought, and turned his head to look at him puzzled.

Traphael looked at the road ahead without squinting, and said: "My life like this is not a waste of time, on the contrary, it is precisely because of the extremely comfortable life that I can't indulge myself and do more meaningful things. Whether it's me, or everyone in the mortal world, it's better to focus on your own work, even if it's the most trivial thing, than to spend your days doing nothing."

"Do you still care about what I just said?" Murphy was a little surprised.

"I wouldn't tell you that if you respected our differences," Trafaler said.

"I'll return this sentence to you as it is." Murphy glanced at him, then stopped discussing it with him, and walked to a restaurant by the roadside: "Aren't you hungry?"

Traphael frowned looking at the humble restaurant behind him, and said, "If you are hungry, we can go back to the tower to eat."

"Don't you want to change the taste?" Murphy said, walking straight into the restaurant.

Traphael pursed his lips, stood there for a while and followed in.

I don't know if it's because of the celebration, or because of the store itself, there are so many people in the store, one person and one devil randomly found a vacant seat to sit down, and immediately a waiter ran over to greet them.

A table next to them was discussing the news that Dewitt, one of the best paladins in the temple, went to the wilderness in the north of the empire to wipe out the monsters that were raging there. When passing by, the city lord stayed behind to participate in the celebration.Traphael was a little concerned, so he looked at them a few more times, but Murphy studied the menu carefully as if he hadn't heard anything.

Seeing that he didn't seem interested in this, Traphael withdrew his attention and discussed the menu with him.

Because there were so many people in the store, it took a long time for the food to be brought to their table.Murphy excitedly forked a small piece of stewed meat and put it into his mouth. After chewing a couple of mouthfuls, his expression changed drastically, and he tried his best not to spit out the food in his mouth.

At this moment, Traphael's face turned a little small, and he said, "I said a long time ago, we can go back and eat."

Murphy's entire face seemed to be wrinkled. He swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty and asked, "How can this be so different from the one in the tower?"

"Because I hired the best chef I could find, of course such a small restaurant can't compare with it." Traphael looked at him and said, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "So don't be picky about the food in the tower. Diet, that's really pretty good, don't you think so now?"

"Okay, I retract my preface," Murphy said with a twitch at the corner of his mouth, "You also know how to enjoy yourself in some ways."

"Thank you for the compliment, if it's a compliment." Traphael said with a smile.

At this moment, it became noisy outside the door, and the crowd gathered in a certain direction.

"The parade has begun!" Someone said in the restaurant, and everyone left their seats and walked outside.

Murphy also stood up, and Traphael had no choice but to put down the knife and fork in his hand, put down a silver coin on the table and follow him to move out with the crowd.

The avenue in the middle of the street was cleared by soldiers, and the road already full of people became crowded again.But people made no complaints about it, they stood on tiptoe and looked towards the procession in the middle of the road.

First, the armored knights passed by on tall horses without turning their eyes. The silver armor and the sabers around their waists were icy and majestic in the sun.Behind the cavalry was the city lord's carriage, the curtains on both sides of the carriage were raised, and the city lord sat in the car and waved to the people in his territory.

Next to the carriage was another horse. The man on the horse was wearing silver armor that was more sophisticated than the previous knights. The armor was carved with complex and beautiful patterns, which were some kind of magic patterns used to bless attributes.Being able to wear armor with so many magic patterns clearly revealed the identity of this person—this should undoubtedly be the paladin discussed earlier.

This paladin known as the "Golden Glory of the Temple" was just like his title. He had dazzling curly short hair and a handsome face as firm as a stone sculpture. Many women screamed softly wherever he passed.

Trafael knew that if he had accepted the invitation of the Santo, then there would be one more person who was paraded around the Santo's carriage at this time like a rare item.But at this time, Traphael neither rejoiced that he explicitly rejected the city lord, nor guessed whether the paladin regretted agreeing to participate in the celebration. The team didn't care, all his attention was on Murphy.

He stared at the bright-eyed demon, regretting dressing up as an apprentice because he didn't want to be too conspicuous, so he couldn't hold the staff in his hand.Even though Murphy's performance has been quite satisfactory until now, there are still too many uncertainties.

Traphael noticed that Murphy suddenly showed an ambiguous smile when he looked at DeWitt, and thought something was wrong in his heart, so he immediately reached out to grab Murphy's robe.His reaction was fast enough, but Murphy was one step faster than him, and his figure disappeared in front of Traphael in an instant—he was actually invisible in full view!

Traphael was startled and angry, and his first reaction was to look around to see if anyone noticed this, after all, it wasn't a common ability even among spellcasters.

Fortunately, everyone was attracted by the parade, and no one noticed Murphy's sudden disappearance.

This is good news, but Traphael's heart is still heavy.He couldn't find Murphy. The reason why he was able to see through Murphy's invisibility when he was in the tower was because although Murphy could hide his figure, he couldn't cover up the small sounds caused by his breath and movements.But there were too many people here, and the smells and sounds were extremely noisy. These huge disturbances made him a little helpless.

It didn't feel good when things suddenly got out of control, but fortunately, he had a general understanding of who Murphy's target was.He remembered that Murphy once told him about the "jihad" of the temple - even if the demon world did not do anything against the mainland, the temple would still send troops to attack the demon world every few years.

In fact, it was more harassment than an attack. The temple did not have the mentality of fighting to the death. It just opened the passage to kill a few demons, then retreated when the upper nobles tried their best to fight, and then closed the passage.Although such a move by the temple cannot shake the foundation of the demon world, it still annoys all the demons.Traphael didn't know much about religious issues, so he didn't ask much, but he didn't expect that there would be a day when he would actually face the paladin.

Trafael didn't know whether this paladin had participated in the "jihad", but this did not affect Murphy's hostility towards him.As Traphael followed the parade through the crowd, he secretly prayed in his heart that Murphy would not do anything that might cause the crowd to panic.

He doesn't really care about Murphy's safety. Although he doesn't know much about Murphy's ability, judging from Murphy's usual conceited performance and his performance this morning, as long as there is not too much difference in strength between the two sides, he can Kill him once, and he should have no problem protecting himself.

The parade team was going around the city, and Traphael followed them all the way.Walking such a long distance, and constantly squeezing through the crowd, is not a small burden for a lack of exercise mage.Traphael cursed in a low voice, clenched his fists tightly, and his back was soaked with sweat from worry or exhaustion, but fortunately, the thing he was most worried about never happened.

The parade finally ended smoothly, and the cavalry escorted the castellan's carriage into the castellan's mansion.

But the bad news is that Trafael didn't even notice Murphy's shadow, and he probably followed the carriage into the heavily guarded City Lord's Mansion.

Traphael's expression was gloomy when he was stopped by the soldiers outside the gate of the Santo's Mansion.Murphy really caused him another big trouble. No matter what Murphy wanted to do, his identity was in great danger of being exposed.

If it involves himself... Traphael hardly dared to think about it anymore.But it was too suspicious to appear in front of the city lord and the paladins at this time. If Murphy made any dangerous moves, then he was simply telling the two of them that he had something to do with it.For a while, Traphael was caught in a dilemma.

After thinking for a while, he finally decided that he couldn't sit still and leave his fate in the hands of others, which was never a wise decision.
