Terrence looked at the flaxen-haired boy opposite, his gaze became sharp.

Black mages are an important part of the Terrence project, and the news of the existence of black mages at the Royal Academy of Magic and Martial Arts hastily spread at an immature stage, which will not only greatly reduce the reputation of the academy.The most important thing is that the church is now entrenched in the imperial capital. As long as they use an excuse to cleanse the black mage, they can openly send more people into Shaninpail with the support of public opinion.At that time, not only will we have to face the covetous church, but people in the country will be panicked, because every cleansing by a black mage is accompanied by slander and unjust crimes.

At this moment, Terrence has thought far enough and exhausted the details.He regretted that he hadn't been careful just now, and he didn't realize that there was someone behind him, and at the same time, he had a killing intent towards the boy.

The so-called gentle and amiable image is just one side of his character, which belongs to Terrence in the first life.But he has also led the crowd to the battlefield in person, and he has also been stained with the blood of his opponents in political fights.He has the bloodthirsty factor of a hunter in his body, it will not gradually evaporate in the past two years of peaceful life, but is always ready to arm Terrence with a sharp and cruel weapon for the coming critical moment teeth.

The palms of Terrence's hands hidden in the wide sleeves were gradually clenched, the fluctuation of magic power was too conspicuous, and was discarded by Terrence.A dagger appeared out of thin air in his hand.He was still holding the opponent's wrist tightly, as long as he was not paying attention, Terrence could cut his throat.There are tall trees around here, and when the time comes, a fresh corpse will be quickly swept into the ground by the roots and become an important nutrient for the growth of plants in the next year-no one will ever know that a dead body has died on this road people.

Terrence was well prepared, but perhaps his gaze was too sharp. The young man woke up from what he had seen and heard just now. His silence made Terrence hold the thin wrist even harder, but Esser Ya said, "Please rest assured, I will not tell anything about what happened just now."

The enthusiasm for new things faded from him, and Esiah looked back to his previous gloomy state.

"Did something happen just now?"

Terrence looked unmoved. If the other party convinced Terrence that he would keep the secret with just one sentence, then Terrence would really be like an ignorant child.In fact, Terrence should have killed him long ago, but the other party's name still called him a little hesitant.

Esiah said: "You don't believe me? If I had been malicious, I wouldn't have admitted in front of you that I recognized 'the'. Of course I know it's forbidden, and every time it shows up it makes people's Life is a mess—you know there isn't any tome on the magic of life in the library, but the history books lash out at it, and I've read it all. I'm on your side, Your Excellency. We Just because one person finds a door that is forbidden to pass through, let others be in disaster. Whether there is evil or hope behind that door, at least you will not lead your own country into the quagmire. I will keep the secret for you, But not with life."

Terrence looked at the flaxen-haired boy, and his clear and eloquent attitude reminded him of his old friend from the previous life, which made Terrence a little dazed—fate is always changing.Because of its changeability, Terrence will always be full of hope and try his best to find a way out.Who can be sure that "that" Esaiah will not meet him earlier?

Thinking of this, Terrence still didn't let go: "It seems that you trust me a lot? Angus seems to have said a lot of good things to you."

"..." Esaiah was silent for a while, and said, "Forgive my talk, maybe you shouldn't spoil your brother too much."

He was vague, but Terrence could still hear his disapproval of Angus from the words, which made him give Esaiah a strange look.Even though Terrence doubted the other party's identity, it was a fact that he knew Angus.Beneath Angus's demagogic performance, it seems that something has slipped through the cracks.

Terrence took a deep breath, and the dagger in his hand returned to the ring space without a sound, replaced by a piece of parchment.

"The oath." Terrence held up the thing and said, "I believe you for the time being, but the condition is to sign this. Since you have some research on life magic, you should know what it is. If you violate the agreement, you will still die. But at least you can always save your own life before your character is corrupted."

The matter is critical, no matter who Esaiah is, no matter whether his words are credible or not, Terrence does not intend to act rashly, a letter of oath is the biggest concession he sees in terms of the possibility of fate.

Terrence can be emotional, but Aldrete must be rational.

Esaiah did not refuse, in fact, when he saw the parchment, his attention was already attracted, and the other party's spirit of indulging in research also made Terrence find a certain sense of familiarity.

When the two parted at the intersection, Esaiah stopped Terrence: "Actually, you didn't remember me."

"what?"

"It's because I'm not strong enough," Essaiah said.

The other party's remarks made Terrence frowned, and this sentence seemed to evoke Terrence's memory, but the memory was hidden too deep for him to catch it no matter what.

"So, who are you?"

"I am a student in the alchemy class, and I will stand in the same ring as you in tomorrow's competition."

"Alchemy..." Terrence chewed on the word, there were too many similarities, and he was able to confirm the other party's identity.But what Esiah said was definitely not referring to this kind of thing, and Terrence couldn't remember any time when he had seen him.

But Esaiah didn't seem to intend to explain. After he finished speaking, he remained silent until Terrence's figure disappeared at the end of the road before turning and leaving.

The civilian area was built next to an artificial lake. The low temperature in winter caused a thick layer of ice to form on the lake, which glowed white under the stars.

Because of the delay in time, Esaiah walked back to the dormitory building, and there were no one on the road, and the street lights were turned off. He walked back to the dormitory along the reflective lake, and the roommates in the same dormitory hadn't rested yet.

The other party stopped the discussion when he pushed the door in, and the atmosphere in the room became awkward in an instant.It was Angus who reacted quickly and greeted Esaiah with a smile.Esaiah nodded silently.

Different from the talkative in front of Terrence, he has always been taciturn and gloomy. If Angus hadn't always communicated with him with the same attitude, he would have been isolated by others according to this personality.But Esaiah doesn't want to have too much communication with Angus. Although he doesn't talk often, it doesn't mean he is dull and simple.On the contrary, because of being immersed in *Ben, Esaiah's mind is transparent and precocious, and he quickly sees through the indifference hidden under Angus' enthusiastic and tolerant appearance.

This is a cunning and ruthless man,

Because of this, he became even more worried about Terrence's situation.

Esiah walked into the bathroom with a towel, and the warm steam quickly wrapped him up.

He studied hard, entered the Royal Academy of Magic and Martial Arts, and finally got close to that person, but he hasn't proved his ability yet, so he must do his best in tomorrow's competition!

On the other side, Terrence also returned to the room, where Lancer was waiting for him.

Because he came back later than usual, Lancer looked a little restless. When Terrence came back, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help saying: "It's too dangerous for you to go out at night alone, I really can't Sit in peace and wait for your return."

"You protect me too much, Lancer." Terrence replied casually as he took off his mage robe.It's because Lancer said too many words like this, Terrence had no choice but to treat them as meaningless repetitive sentences, and forget them after hearing them - anyway, it was impossible for him to let Lanser read while reading in the library. It was so maverick to have Se sticking to him like a suit of armor.

But no matter what, every time Lanser cared about his words and actions was like a shot in the arm, allowing Terrence to confirm the man's loyalty.As a knight, Lancer Schevenlieu is qualified enough, his loyalty is single-minded and sincere.Terrence would no longer associate him with Angus, and the subjective doubt gradually disappeared.

Lancer frowned, and he himself thought what Terrence said was the truth.He paid close attention to Terrence almost every second, which was not normal.Just like he knew that Terrence was not weak, but still couldn't help worrying from time to time, this concern for the loyalist gradually deviated from the scope of reason and calm, and he was being dominated by stagnant and restless emotions.

This made Lancer a little worried, unable to correctly judge whether Terrence's decision was dangerous, and unable to rationally confirm whether the environment he was in was safe, so he was too dereliction of duty as a knight.Lancer didn't even know what was wrong with him.

Terrence completely didn't understand the blond knight's depression of contemplation alone. He loosened the tie of his jacket, leaned back on the sofa, and began to think about today's events.

The magic circle that the mage who used life magic read from nowhere was rough and barbaric.Due to the lack of inheritance of black mages, every mage who wants to step into the field of life magic can only find a few words from the history books as a basis for beginners.

Just like the widely circulated oath book, because it requires the blood of both parties to the oath, it is generally believed that the so-called life magic cannot be separated from blood. Even the history books say this-"The black mage seeks eternal life from blood", but This is largely a misunderstanding.Except for the evil spells of commanding the undead and refining dead bodies, no life magic needs to gain strength from rich blood.Think about it, it is also a kind of elemental magic, the light system only needs to sing to heal the wound, it makes no sense for other elemental magic to find another way.

In life magic, blood is only used as the basis for engraving the soul, but people have misunderstood its meaning.

This is the reason why everyone shouts and beats the black mage. Anyone will be afraid of a bloody and evil image.Part of this is caused by the mages' own stupidity, but Terrence believes that, as a church that regards black mages as a thorn in its side, it must have put a lot of effort into fueling the flames of public opinion.

But on the other hand, it is precisely because of such deceitful misleading that many mages go astray—the virgin blood of young girls, the bones of young children, the head of the dead... Paranoid mages think that Shi The closer the material of the technique is to life and death, the more powerful the power of life will be.It is under such distorted thinking that there will be a cruel history of undead ravaging and zombie massacres.

If the mage used human blood tonight, he would have been the one Terrence was determined to kill long ago.And he didn't, so Terrence seized a powerful opportunity instead.

He connected to Adam's communicator-if the mage was to be classified as a companion, careful identity investigation was necessary.
