Fisher sat in his modest alchemy tower until evening.
For no reason, he recalled the past. The energetic years of his youth had gone forever.
Leia
The girl in memory always follows Fernandez as dazzling as the sun, leaving her back forever.
Even when I pretended to break my leg and lived in Buhe village, I didn't summon up the courage to meet her. Because he knew that Leia had a strong character inconsistent with her appearance and didn't want her friends to see her current situation.
Sure enough, I should have sworn to never meet you
It began to get dark and the half open wooden door was gently pushed open.
Victor changed his black robe and looked indifferent, as if nothing in the world could interest him.
[tutor, I'm going to leave for Jingyao tomorrow.] he said the same on the day he obtained the qualification of a mage.
Fisher looked at his friend's son. His appearance completely inherited his father, especially his eyes. In calm, it was a raging flame. The only difference is that one wants to gallop the political sea and the other is obsessed with magic.
"Because of the fear of Albrecht, Jingyao issued a decree 50 years ago not to accept those who have no tongue. This practice can only be broken by amazing talents and current dignitaries. There are many young people called 'genius' in Jingyao like you. You have neither rich financial resources to bribe the senior leaders of the Association nor a life background that is respected enough for elders to respect. How can you put yourself "Open the closed door?" Fisher sighed, lamenting the disciple's ill fated fate.
As long as Fernandes Ken recognizes Victor's identity. The child can enter the college without difficulty.
But. Is he willing?
For the family. For ambition. Even the woman you love most can be abandoned. Not to mention a child who has become less valuable.
The woman who married with a notting surname would not give up. Leia was forced by her. Avoid small villages in mountains and forests. I didn't return to Jingyao until I died.
Fischer strongly opposed putting victor in trouble.
Without the support of a mentor who is the alchemy Dean of the town of mivila. There is no hope of squeezing into Jingyao college whose threshold is too high.
As a lich, it is not afraid of the threat of killers, but it is unable to make up for the gap between illegitimate children and tongue less people in a short time.
The mind manipulation spells mastered are irreparable and destructive to the brain. Even if fisher can be controlled for a short time and recommended and escorted by him for himself, he can't achieve long-term control. The practice of robbing Peter to pay Paul is not advisable. Fisher is wood's only safe haven. He is an important chess piece that can't be abandoned until he gets some strength.
Seeing Victor didn't answer, Fisher was a little relieved.
"If you want to enter Jingyao, you must first prove that you are worth my help."
[what do you mean?]
"In two days, the triennial adventurer test will be held in the town of mivila. If you can pass the test in the first place, I will send you to Jingyao myself." this is a dangerous gamble. Fisher is gambling on how much affection Fernandez has for LIA. Bet on the luck and ability of this gifted child to stand out from thousands of candidates.
Victor was slightly stunned, and the first dull expression appeared on his face since he entered the main material world.
The guild with the triangular badge?
examination?
Adventurer?
Is it because I have been in the shadow world for too long, how can I take an exam when I am an adventurer?
"President Eric!"
Cohen kicked open the door of the shadow guild, followed by amod who had just been scolded.
Like the guild name, there was little light in the dark and dark building. Only a few candles were burning on the small counter of the client.
"Master Cohen, what's so angry? The gate is about to be kicked by you. You know, this is a hundred year old building and can't stand the toss." there was a slow query in the dark.
"The killer you introduced didn't finish the task." take a deep breath, and Cohen endured his anger.
This is the gathering place of wanderers, not their own home. They can scold whatever they want.
"Oh... I already know that. You must also know that although the killer business pays attention to strength, it often depends on luck. My two men have bad luck. The target you entrusted left the town after dark and went to Davao village on foot. This was originally the best environment for assassination. Unexpectedly, a large group of sword spiders nest on the path between Davao village and mivila town. In terms of quantity, he said The president appeared from the dark, and the image of bald head was impressive.
"Sword spider?" Cohen looked sideways at amod and didn't listen to him.
"Master Cohen..." amod slightly twitched his mouth and whispered, "Victor did mention it when he came back today, but I think..."
"Shut up! Don't give me the judgment I think it is!" he vented his anger on amod. Cohen kicked two feet, but he was still angry. He was ready to make up a few more, but he was stopped.
"Master Cohen, if you want to teach your servants a lesson, you can go back to your residence." another man came out of the darkness behind Eric. The man was in his early thirties. Although he was dressed in black like Eric, he was a little more elegant. The carefully decorated goat beard on his chin showed that he was not an ordinary bottom killer.
"You are..." Cohen stopped and looked at the stranger he had never seen.
This guy has a strange face and a wrong accent.
"Buffy suville." his left hand drew an arc in the air and finally attached it to his chest. The man who claimed to be Buffy made a typical aristocratic ceremony.
Cohen and amod's bodies were stiff at the same time. The name was like Lei Guan's ear. Even a border town like mivila knew the meaning it represented - the president of the shadow guild.
Located in the west of the town, jaradi's mansion is the highest and largest building complex in mivila, far more magnificent than the mayor's residence.
As soon as Cohen returned to the house, he received an order from the housekeeper. His father, the current patriarch of the jaradi family, was urgently called.
"Father, I heard you're looking for me." his polite appearance was contrary to his usual frivolity.
"Pa!"
His answer was a slap. It was so powerful that Cohen stepped back a few steps before he stood firm.
"Did I forget what I said to you last time?" gander jaradi's always solemn face was a little angry. "I said I wouldn't go to Victor wood again!"
Cohen stood with his hands down, afraid to touch his swollen cheeks. I dare not refute.
Eric, you bastard, took my money and dared to make a small report.
Cohen couldn't help scolding in his heart when he remembered that he had asked amodedo to pay for blocking his mouth yesterday.
"To tell you the truth, I have found out his father's identity. We jaladi family can't afford it. If you dare to touch him again, be careful I'll remove you from the family!"
"Father!" Cohen was shocked. He was the only child in the family. If his father was determined, was wood really the illegitimate son of some big man?
"Who is it? Wood's father..." he was unwilling. The mountain village boy who came out for no reason not only robbed the first title of his college, but also made him threatened to be removed by his father.
"Fernandez Mendel." Gander's answer made Cohen look worse than the name of the chief of the shadow guild just heard.
"Archduke Taran... Is it Archduke Taran? How dare he..." before he finished, Cohen slapped again.
Gander angrily looked at his son who didn't know how to grow up. How could he have such an heir? He was a fool!
"Shut up! You idiot, don't make trouble for the jaradi family." gander scolded Cohen, who covered his face and looked wronged, when he heard footsteps in the corridor.
There was a knock at the door, followed by the sound of the housekeeper.
"Your Excellency, Mr. buffy suville is visiting."
"Invite him in," he glared at Cohen, and gander waved to him to go out.
"Don't forget, it's your job to please Fisher." Cohen curled his mouth and answered vaguely when he heard the advice from behind.
When he returned to his bedroom, he smashed everything he could, but he still felt angry.
Unexpectedly, wood, who always looked poor, was the illegitimate son of Duke Mendel.
This is a secret among secrets. If it spreads
Thinking of this, he began to be a little afraid.
If there were no magic association, a small principality like Taran would have no voice in the Western Asian Union.
Everything has changed since Fernandez became Duke. He married Albert Richter's only daughter, Princess notting.
In just 20 years, thanks to the support of the strongest empire in southern China, Taran has rapidly grown from a poor principality to one of the top economic powers in the alliance, relying entirely on a layer of nepotism.
If Fernandez is found to have an affair with other women and have a son, the angry notting empire may send troops to destroy the whole principality.
It sounds a little strange, but Albert Recht can do everything, and the countries destroyed by him are in double digits. Even though the bloody emperor has abdicated for many years, as soon as the princess goes back to cry
The more he thought about it, the more frightened Cohen finally realized how terrible his previous practice was.
Since the Duke dared to take such a big risk, he must like that woman very much. If the two killers of the shadow guild really succeed, the jaradi family will be retaliated by the Duke.
I still put my energy into the adventurer exam
Thinking about the results of going to Fisher during the day, Cohen was even more depressed.
He never understood why his father tried to please that bad old fisher. I only heard that it was an exiled Jingyao aristocrat. He was not an alchemy Dean. I really don't know what use value he has.
According to his father's instructions, Cohen asked fisher to be his apprentice. The old man set extremely harsh conditions and asked him to pass the adventurer's exam with the first place, otherwise everything would be fine.
"Damn it, who stipulates that being an adventurer has to take an exam?!"
As an out and out dandy, Cohen has only a little talent in alchemy, and other talents are zero. His ability, let alone getting good grades in the adventurer's exam, is not enough to pass the first level.
"No, I have to find a way... I have to get to the last level anyway." walking back and forth in the bedroom, Cohen thought hard about how to deal with the exam in two days.
