Four years ago......

"Brother, brother..fastest update visit: щщщ.79XS.сОΜ . I won the bet on the fastest semi-final and made a lot of money!" Kevin excitedly screamed and ran into the house, only to see Android casting a piece of equipment, the light gray 'colored' metal slowly changing shape in his hand. Kevin hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand and said no more, for fear of disturbing his brother's work.

Android didn't care, and while '' the dagger in his hand, he asked with a smile, "Kevin is so good, so why don't you guess again, who will be the winner of the finals?"

Kevin was stunned for a moment, then took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket that he had picked up out of nowhere, on which were densely packed with various numbers, and he said while analyzing the calculations, "Nike Rey 'Mon' is 1.10 water, so the Deringer water level is as low as 0.76." The handicap should be Nike's 'Mon' handicap, and the water level of the upper handicap should not be less than 0.90 water. This is obviously a bit of a fear of the payout, and it is completely different from the situation in the semi-finals between the two teams. Judging from the performance of the two teams in the semifinals, Nike Rei 'Mon's upper plate is actually a false fire. In this case, compared to this final, Nike Rei 'Mons' has become a weak side, and even if he lets the half-level seal on the spot, the water level will definitely be above 1.00......"

This Alchemy Grand Prix is the 750th, the competition system is to create a ring as the assessment content, a team of five players have completed five processes, after jewelry, casting, decomposition, enchantment, inlay, the higher level of jewelry wins, if the level is the same, and then by the five judges of the referee group respectively wear the rings of both sides to output the same magic, with the average value of the output to distinguish the high. So there are sayings in the gambling game, such as handicap, handicap half-level, and draw.

Although Android is not a gambling fan, he also understands some related concepts, and at this point he finished the dagger in his hand and began to listen intently to Kevin's explanation. Kevin's exposure to gambling was only three months ago, when the Alchemy Grand Prix had just reached the qualifier stage, and Android took Kevin to the casino to 'trade' a custom piece of jewelry to his employer, a fat man named Peter. Kevin entered the casino and was 'fascinated' by all kinds of gambling games, and he was very engaged, Android thought that he had never played any interesting entertainment with Kevin since he was a child, so he took out a little money to exchange for chips for Kevin to play, Kevin did not play other content, but all bet on the gambling game of the Alchemy Grand Prix, and then Android forgot about that thing. It wasn't until a week later that Kevin excitedly told him that he had won all the bets. Android thought of just Kevin's luck, so he let him continue to play with the money, and as a result, from the qualifiers, group stage, repechage, to the semifinals, Kevin was like a bamboo, winning more and losing less, and actually increased the original cost by more than 100 times, and Android discovered Kevin's talent in gambling.

“…… Even if Nike Rei 'Mon's plate is flat and half closed, it will not be such a low water, so obviously, this is a psychological plate. In terms of the results of the previous Alchemy Grand Prix, De Linger had an advantage, and the performance of this competition showed that his state was getting better and better. At the same time, Nike Rei 'Mon' is a dark horse, and gamblers will expect them to lose more on a psychological level. It happened to meet such a life and death handicap at the half-level, and at the same time, the high water on the plate alluded to the unstable game psychology of Nike Rui's 'Mon', and as long as the result of the game is the same level of jewelry between the two sides, betting on Deringer can win all, so the next bet is bound to be overheated. The Gafreshak family initially lost 2.25, and immediately changed to 2.90 after receiving the bet, which is too unusual for the family that started with gambling. So I reasoned that in the semi-finals, the Nike Rui 'Mon' deep handlet is a false fire, and the current shallow handicap is instead a 'lure' to go down the plate, and if the game is sealed with flat and semi-low water or medium low water, gamblers will have the illusion that the dark horse will die. At that time, it will be the dealer to win the handicap, and Nike Ray 'Mon' will win the game and win the championship!" Kevin said in one breath, looking up to see Android smiling at him, Kevin scratched his head embarrassedly.

Android patted Kevin's head, "Just bet as you say, I'm optimistic about you." ”

Kevin also laughed happily, "Okay brother, if we win the finals again, we will have a lot of money, so you don't have to cast jewelry every day and sell it." ”

"Stupid, our family is a family of jewelers, what else can we do if we don't make jewelry?" Android flicked lightly on Kevin's head and picked up the dagger he had just forged, "Kevin, you remember, speculation is always just speculation, and it's okay to be a game, but if you want to make a career out of it, it's equivalent to handing over your net worth and 'life' to someone else." ”

"Ah, I see. Kevin stuck out his tongue and looked at the dagger in Android's hand again, "Brother, I'll take this excellent dagger and sell it at auction along the way." ”

Although Kevin was a little puzzled about why Android wanted to cast a dagger, it was not too strange, after all, a dagger is not necessarily a weapon, it can also be used as jewelry to hang around the neck, and there are many alchemy items that have more decorative meaning than actual effect.

Android flicked his finger on the dagger, "This isn't for sale. ”

Kevin was about to continue asking, when he suddenly heard a scream from the basement, it was the cry of a slave, the scream only lasted for a few seconds, and then silence returned, Kevin's face darkened, "Is Father casting rings again?"

Android's arm holding the dagger suddenly shook imperceptibly, and then pushed Kevin out of the room 'door', "Kevin, aren't you going to bet on the finals, go to the casino, it's going to be dark later." ”

"But the final is a week away, and it's the same tomorrow to bet on......" Kevin's voice stopped abruptly as the door was closed. Android shut Kevin out of the door, leaning his back against the door, sighed deeply, and then grabbed the dagger and walked into the basement.

Unlike Kevin, Android's childhood memories are happy and beautiful, with a hard-working father and gentle mother at home, and Android himself is a famous little genius in the Alchemy Guild, and inadvertently showed strong magical control when he was less than a year old. His father, Schenkel, was a well-known master jeweler in the Alchemy Guild, and his family consisted of hundreds of servants and slaves alone, and under his mother's financial management, the family became better and better until Kevin's birth.

Everything changed when his mother died in childbirth. Schenkel never took on any custom jewelry work since, trying to create the same ring every day, and spending the rest of his time drinking heavily in the tavern. It is said that Schenkel was down-and-out when he was young, but Jieli's family was a small nobleman, and Jieli escaped with the family without hesitation and followed Schenkel together, and when they got married, Schenkel couldn't even give away a decent ring, so he could only draw the shape of the ring he imagined on paper and give it to Jery.

Since then, Schenkel has been studying the jeweler's technique, and he has become a master jeweler through his own talent. There are many people lining up in the hope of getting the jewelry cast by Schenkel himself, but in the constant busyness for others, Schenkel has forgotten his original intention and has never had time to create a wedding ring for Jieli, and Jieli is also empathetic, never mentioned the wedding ring until she died in childbirth.

It was only after Jie Li's death that Schenkel suddenly realized that what he owed was constantly 'whipping' him, so he turned out the yellowed old paper and began to make the ring. However, every time a ring was created, Schenkel was not satisfied. Perhaps, only a wedding ring at the level of a holy weapon is worthy of Schenkel's deep affection for Jieli?

Gradually, there were fewer and fewer slaves in the family, and they were all killed to 'extract' their souls to be used as instrumental spirits. Moreover, the materials used to build the holy vessel itself were also very valuable, and gradually the house fell into disrepair, and all the servants were dismissed.

For Android, his mother died, but he had a younger brother. In order to allow Kevin to live the same life as his peers, he began to work hard to learn the skills of a jeweler, and try to make his jewelry meet the requirements of his customers. However, many times, Android gradually found that he had an urge to kill Kevin, because it was Kevin's appearance that made the home what it is now. At that time, Android will rush out of the house, let the cold wind outside help him calm down, prevent his uncontrollable emotions from making him do things that he regrets.

In the basement, Schenkel had been concentrating on casting jewelry, and a slave next to him lay motionless on the ground, apparently dead. Schenkel didn't notice the android walking into the basement, and just as his ring was cast and was about to import the slave soul in the crystal, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and lost consciousness without any pain.

Android picked up the ring and placed it on the center of Schenkel's brow, waiting for the soul to merge in, "The spirit of the holy weapon is not something your level can control." Since you want a holy artifact to mourn your deceased wife, you can only find a soul that fits. And the jewelry you cast is the most suitable for your own soul. ”

As Android finished speaking, the whole ring also released a faint layer of brilliance, shining vividly with the four letters of GERI on it, and the light did not diverge, but formed an external loop ring like a reflux into the ring. Three-dimensional circuit, this is exactly the phenomenon of holy weapons.

At this moment, Kevin's screams can be heard behind Android, and Kevin looks at his dead father and the ring in Android's hand with a look of horror.

"Brother...... Brother, this ...... Why is that?" the money bag in Kevin's hand fell to the ground.

"Why? don't you see with your own eyes?" said Android, wiping the blood from the dagger from his robe, staining it a shocking red.

Then Android suddenly rushed towards Kevin, waving the dagger in his hand. Kevin screamed and stepped back, subconsciously blocked, a scar was cut on his arm, and then staggered out of the basement, rushing out of the room without looking back. Android chased after the door and shouted, "Don't come back! I'll kill you!"

Android slammed the door shut, collapsed on the floor, and then trembled as he unfolded a blood pact tracking scroll and dripped a drop of blood from the dagger, muttering to himself, "Don't come back, this family has long been dead in name." Kevin, will you hate me? Hehe, hate it, but after committing the same crime as you, I don't hate you anymore, and that's enough. ”

For a long time, in Android's subconscious, he always thought that Kevin killed his mother, so his feelings for Kevin were actually both love and hate. When Android hesitates to kill his father to fulfill his long-cherished wish, the idea becomes a decisive weight.

You killed my mother, I killed my father, and after committing the same crime, I have no reason to hate you anymore. Android himself didn't realize that there was another reason why he killed his father.

After sitting for a moment, Android struggled to get up and took out a piece of paper, and after writing a letter, threw it into the small teleportation circle in the room, along with the blood pact tracking scroll. After doing all this, Android took one last look at the house, released his magic to set the house on fire, and disappeared into the rain as well.

Two days later, Peter found the frail Kevin in a woods with the Blood Pact Tracking Scroll, "Ah, I see that you are very talented, and it is fate that we met here, so you can follow me to San Diego School of Magic to study." I don't have anything of value with me, so I might as well give you this Blood Pact Tracking Scroll as a gift. ”

I don't know if Kevin heard it clearly, he had already fallen to the ground and fainted from hunger.

What Kevin didn't know was that when he was holding the blood contract tracking scroll to record the location of various magical beasts, its makers were also learning about Kevin's life through the changes in the location of the scrolls, and he had never stopped for four years.
