In a small restaurant on the back street in the middle of nowhere.

Arthur looked at Arnold who had been bowing his head and gobbling up helplessly, he hadn't seen him for more than a month, and he was still the same thin and pale face he was when he first met.

"Thank you, I haven't had a full meal in months. Arnold suddenly looked up and said.

"It's okay, eat slowly, how did you get to Singaluru?

Arnold wiped his mouth and showed a slightly shy smile, "I'm full." I'm coming for you. ”

Arthur was slightly surprised, "Looking for me, this is the headquarters of the Church of Light in the Diocese of the Isaac Kingdom, it's too dangerous for you!"

"I know that the most dangerous place is the safest place, and the knights and priests of the church are chasing me everywhere, but they must not have imagined that I would come to the royal city. Besides, you are in Wangcheng, and I finally have a friend here. Arnold said seriously.

"Friend, but we've only met once?"

"We've fought together, you've saved me, you've invited me to dinner today, and most importantly you've reached out to me at the time, you're the first to believe me after knowing my identity as a dark mage, so I decided you're my friend. ”

Arthur scratched his head, and Arnold in front of him seemed to be more innocent than himself, "Okay, you also saved my life today, and we will be friends in the future." ”

Arnold smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand to Arthur, the boy with flaxen-colored curly hair who smiled just as well.

Arthur stretched out his hand, and the two small hands were clasped tightly together.

For the first time, two men who would change the history of the continent of Beland stood side by side for the first time.

"How did you happen to be there?" asked Arthur suddenly.

"I've been looking for you in the city?"

"It seems that we are really fated. ”

"No, it's perceptual magic, I left a dark perceptual magic mark on you, as long as you appear within a thousand meters, I can sense you. ”

Arthur half-jokingly said, "Dark magic is so powerful, no wonder the church has been chasing you for thousands of years." ”

Arnold lowered his head, a look of pain on his face.

Arthur knew that he had touched Arnold's heart, and hurriedly changed the subject: "What are you going to do next?"

Arnold still kept his head down and whispered, "If I can, I plan to stay." ”

Arthur hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "This place is still too dangerous for you, but if you insist on staying, although I don't have a lot of money, I can lend you some money and find a place to live first." ”

"Arthur, do you need money?"

Arthur gave Arnold an angry look, "Nonsense, I not only need, but I need a lot of money!"

"I have a way to make money, we can become enchanters and sell magical equipment. ”

Arthur's eyes lit up, the enchanter is a branch of magicians, but they are considered to be the richest magicians. A fine-grade longsword worth one gold coin can be sold for five or six gold coins immediately by adding a first-level gold-based sharpness or fire-type fireball technique through the hand of an enchanter.

But then his eyes dimmed, "Do you think it is so easy to become an enchanter? There is only one magician in a hundred who can become an enchanter, and it also needs the approval of the Church of Light and the personal teaching of the senior enchanter. ”

"I know why enchanters are so rare, and there is a secret that has been hidden for thousands of years. ”

Arnold further lowered his voice and said, "The reason why enchanters are rare is because all enchanters must be dual-line magicians, and in addition to the magic of their own system, they must also be able to perform 'enchantment', which is the key to etching the magic array on the equipment. 'Enchantment' is not classified as any known type of magic. ”

"Is there any magic that doesn't belong to any of them?"

"Because 'Enchantment' is a modified form of magic, its real name is 'Dark Corrosion'"

"You mean that enchantment comes from dark magic?" Arthur opened his mouth in disbelief and then patted his head again, "I finally understand why becoming an enchanter requires the approval of the church, because all enchanters have the potential to become dark magicians, and the church wants to make sure that every enchanter is under control." ”

Arnold nodded solemnly.

"I see what you mean, you're trying to skip the church's approval step and secretly use 'Dark Corrosion' to enchant weapons and equipment, and then sell them for profit. ”

"Well, do you want to do it, if you find out by the church, you will definitely be burned to death. ”

Arthur smiled, "Such a big profit, of course, the mercenary is a profession with both risks and benefits!" What's more, just by making friends with you, the church will burn me several times, but why didn't you use such a profitable method before?"

This time, Arnold gave Arthur a blank look, "Do you dare to use the equipment with dark magic?" Arnold sighed and continued: "This method must be cooperated by magicians from other departments, and you are the first non-dark magician I trust in so many years. ”

"Okay, let's talk about how to do it. "Arthur couldn't wait.

"The process of equipment enchantment must be completed by a mage alone, I saw you use water and earth magic in the church last time, I also have a little affinity for earth magic elements, as long as you teach me earth magic, I can etch the earth magic array on the equipment. I can also teach you 'Dark Corrosion', and you can also test if you can become an enchanter. ”

Arthur smiled happily, "Except for the time magic, which is considered a forbidden area for magic, as long as there is a magic array, I can enchant any series of magic." ”

"Are you a monster?" Arnold was stunned, because the enchanter is a two-line magician, and usually the enchanter can only enchant one line of magic in his life.

"Even if we cooperate, I have one condition?"

"Tell me, how do you plan to divide the profits?"

"It has nothing to do with money, I want to enter the Blood Yao Royal Academy with you. ”

Arthur pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "The academy is indeed the safest place, but entering the Blood Yao Academy requires a letter of recommendation from a noble with recommendation qualifications, and I can't get this thing." ”

"I don't need formal enrollment, I know that your academy allows students to bring an attendant to take care of daily life, and the attendant cannot enter the class, but can stay in the master's room. All you have to do is say I'm your attendant and keep it on file with the Academy. ”

Arthur tilted his head to look at Arnold, "You've inquired about this, it seems that you are not so simple?"

Arnold smiled bitterly, "I have to think more and prepare more than others, otherwise I would have died at the hands of the church." ”

Arthur pulled Arnold up, "Let's go, stop thinking about the church, countless gold coins are already beckoning to us......"
