Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Defecting Sorcerer

"Are you all alright?" I hurriedly asked.

"Don't move." At this moment, the girl said suddenly, and gently pressed me back into place.

"Your wound is deep, and if you move again, I can't guarantee that the bleeding will stop."

"I'm sorry." I smiled embarrassedly, but the other party's technique is really powerful, such a deep wound in less than ten minutes before the bleeding completely stopped, and then the girl took out a bunch of medicine and cloth strips from the backpack behind me and bandaged me, her technique is very sophisticated, not even inferior to Ah Zi.

"Okay, then you just need to pay attention to rest and change the dressing frequently, and you can be cured in less than a week." Finally, the treatment was over, and the girl stood up and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, and it could be seen that the treatment just now had consumed a lot of her energy.

"Thank you for saving us, can you please give me your name? At this point I asked busily.

"This... You can call me Xiaojia, but in fact, what happened just now is just a gesture, you don't have to care." For some reason, this girl who calls herself "Xiao Jia" seems a little nervous when she signs up.

"It may be a small thing for you, but it is a big matter for us. We will repay the opportunity in the future." At this time, the princess couldn't help but speak.

"I don't think I'll be able to repay anything, it's supposed to take care of each other when you're out and about, since you're all fine now, then I'll say goodbye first, and there will be a period later." Xiao Jia said that he was going to leave after sorting out the package, and several of us couldn't help but be a little surprised when we saw this, and ordinary people had to ask about the general process of the whole thing when they encountered this situation, but this one seemed to be running away from something.

"Don't be in such a hurry, we still have a lot to ask." At this time, the princess couldn't help but open her mouth and said.

"I'm sorry, I still have some urgent things to do, I'm afraid it's hard to accompany you." And Xiao Jia insisted on leaving at this time, although Aili and I felt inexplicable when I saw this, it was inconvenient to keep too much, seeing that she was about to turn around and leave, at this moment the princess suddenly spoke again.

"I'd advise you to stay, for we might as well be able to help you in the event of a mage hunting you."

As soon as the princess said this, Xiao Jia couldn't help but be shocked, turned her head and looked at the princess in surprise, and said silently for a long time before trembling: "How do you know..."

The princess smiled and pouted behind Xiao Jia: "When you bandaged him just now, I peeked at the magic book in your bag, which has the mark of "Wizard's Tower" on it, plus your anxious look, if I guess correctly, you should be a wizard who defected from the Wizards' Guild, right?"

"No, I was framed..."Hearing the princess's words, Xiao Jia couldn't help but hurriedly defended, but as soon as the words came out, she realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, but it was too late at this time.

Looking at her reaction, the princess couldn't help but smile: "Don't be nervous, in fact, a few of us have now been framed as fugitives, so everyone can be said to be sympathetic, plus you saved our lives just now, we won't betray you if you say anything, don't mind, let's find a safe place to introduce each other's stories to each other, maybe we can help each other." What do you think?"

Xiao Jiawen looked at the princess after hearing this, and then looked at a few of us, hesitated for a while, and finally sighed: "Okay, anyway, I have no way out now, so I will trust you for the time being."

It was getting dark, and after a night of tossing and turning, we finally escaped the pursuit for a while, and in a rather secluded cave, we sat around and told each other's experiences.

"I see, I didn't expect you to experience so many incredible things..."After listening to our narration, Xiao Jia couldn't help but be stunned, in fact, it's no wonder, looking back on the experience of these days, even we ourselves feel like having the most ridiculous nightmare.

"Okay, we've got our secrets done, now it's your turn."

Hearing the princess say this, Xiao Jia couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, but in the end she still confided in us about her life experience.

"I was born into a wizarding family in North Dasol, probably because my family nurtured me to be interested in magic since I was a child, so when I was fourteen years old, my family sent me to study in the Wizards' Guild, which is commonly known in the world as the "Wizard's Tower", where I successfully passed the white-robed wizard exam, and a professor named Mephilas saw that I was very talented, so he took me as his official student to stay in the guild to continue my studies, for which of course I could not ask for, At that time, the focus of the professor's research was the collection and sorting of many spell files in ancient times, which was always a huge and boring work, so the professor would often hand over some simple desk work to me to deal with, and the professor trusted me more and more over time, and finally even handed me the key to his office, allowing me to come and go freely, at that time I was really grateful to the professor for his trust in me, and secretly vowed to help the professor complete his research in the future, but I didn't expect to end up causing a monstrous disaster for myself..." Speaking of this, Xiao Jia's face couldn't help but be full of melancholy.

"What happened next?" The princess asked softly.

"In fact, in retrospect, everything is probably the arrangement of fate, that day I originally completed the task assigned to me by the professor as usual and left his office to go back to the dormitory, but it suddenly rained outside halfway, and the rain has not weakened, usually in this case I either find a place to wait for the rain to stop or run back to the dormitory, but that day I don't know how I suddenly thought that there were two umbrellas left in the professor's office, so I turned back to get it, the professor was not there at that time, It was pitch black in the office, and when I was holding my umbrella, I accidentally knocked over a pile of books placed next to me due to the dim light, so I hurriedly cleaned up, and at that time a few pages fell out of one of the books, and I picked it up by the light in the corridor outside, and I couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that the professor was actually doing research on "blood magic" without telling me."

"Blood magic!?" When the princess and I heard Xiao Jia's words, we couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and Ah Zi and Ellie on the side didn't know much about magic, so we had to look at us blankly.

Seeing this, I hurriedly explained to them: "I told you before that human beings themselves do not have magical power, and if you want to cast magic, you can only borrow power from demon gods and others, and according to the different objects with the help, they are roughly divided into two categories: "white magic" and "black magic", and the so-called "blood magic" is a kind of "black magic", I said before that the principle of "black magic" is to sacrifice the soul of human beings in exchange for power from demons, but there will be such a despicable and shameless guy in human beings, they want to obtain magic power, but they are not willing to sacrifice themselves, So they came up with a way to harm others and benefit themselves, using other people's lives in exchange for power from demons, because this method usually has to go through a terrible ritual called "blood sacrifice", so people call it "blood magic", as for how terrible the process is, I advise you not to know..."

"Ouch, isn't it so scary, you can't be deliberately scaring us, right?" Ellie and Ah Zi were obviously frightened when they heard this, but they still refused to admit it.
