Leo was shocked, although he had been suspicious of Anthony's motives since he woke up, and he had been mentally prepared for the current situation, but when a long sword that could take his life at any time pressed against his shoulder like a hill and made him unable to move, and he could take his life as easily as cutting off a leek with a single wave, the young magic apprentice still instinctively felt a wave of uneasiness and fear from the heart.

Leo tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart, and at the same time observed the look on Anthony's face, and said to Anthony in the calmest tone possible: "This--dear Anthony, I think maybe we have some minor misunderstanding somewhere?" ”

"No, no, no, there is no misunderstanding at all, dear Leo. I have to regret to inform you that the pleasant dinner time is over. Anthony stood up from the side of the fire and stretched hard, then walked to Leo who was still sitting on the ground with a smile, slowly squatted down, took out an old parchment pamphlet from his arms and shook it in front of Leo, and a faint gleam flashed in his eyes: "Can you please tell me why you are next to the body of the owner of this pamphlet, Lord Ambrossi Landry, the Holy Ascetic." ”

Looking at the familiar booklet in front of him, Leo's facial muscles couldn't help but twitch, and he almost wanted to open his mouth to criticize this thing fiercely. Of course, he knew that this was the "path of asceticism" that had played him before. Given that the hateful and sharp sword still stood beside Leo's neck as a constant reminder of the situation facing the apprentice, Leo wisely swallowed the expletives that had reached his lips back into his stomach, and said to Anthony in the most sincere tone: "I just happened to be passing by to watch the fun, and I really don't know how this - well, Lord Ambrosi died. ”

Anthony frowned, but then quickly stretched out and waved his hand behind Leo. Leo's shoulders suddenly lightened, and the long sword that had been on his shoulder had been withdrawn from its scabbard.

"Look, Leo. Actually, I am not an unreasonable person, and I can guarantee that as long as you tell me everything honestly, then I will naturally not embarrass you. Anthony smiled again, but the look in his eyes was as cold as a thousand-year-old iceberg, without the slightest smile, all of this fell into Leo's eyes, Leo even suspected that this was deliberately put out by Anthony for him to see, in order to intimidate himself and force himself to submit.

"All right, dear Leo. Don't worry about Ada's sword, you must know that although this is a sword that can hunt three mid-level demonic beasts and two beginner-level demonic beasts, it is also an obedient sword - undoubtedly, a sword that is very obedient to me. Anthony's words were almost unabashedly threatening, his long golden hair trembled slightly with the night breeze beside the fire, and with his already handsome face, he looked extraordinarily personable, and everything was so incompatible with the cold light in his eyes: "Then please tell me everything you see, as it is." ”

Leo thought for a moment, then said without hesitation: "Here's the thing, seven days ago, Master Bard Tulbe, the potions master of Prona City, gave me a mission・・・・・・" Leo took half an hour to describe the matter in great detail. Of course, Leo didn't tell Anthony the whole truth, and there were some things that he ignored intentionally or unintentionally in his narration, such as-

"So, when you arrived, all you saw was Lord Ambrosi's corpse and this pamphlet?" Anthony raised the parchment pamphlet in his hand and asked Leo.

"Yes, Lord Ambrosi's murderer was gone before I arrived." Leo nodded in affirmation, and even the most observant could not tell the expression of a lie on his face - for he was telling the truth.

In a book at the Academy of Magic and Wizardry in Prona there is a famous quote from a long-deceased Holy Magister: "The most realistic lie is not a lie that is completely flawless - there is no such lie." The lie that can really deceive others is to quietly mix the last falsehood in the nine points of truth. ”

Leo took this to heart, so he had told the truth so far, and quickly added, "Anthony, you should know that if the guy who killed Master Ambrossi saw me, I would have been a corpse long ago." ”

"That's true," Anthony nodded, "forgive me for being rude, but dear Leo, with your ability as an apprentice of magic—well." If you want to fight against a Sanctuary powerhouse, the hope is indeed a little slim. ”

Leo couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, in fact, Anthony's words were not a belittling of Leo, but a great boost to Leo's ability.

The reason is also very simple, there is no doubt that the only person who can kill the powerhouse of the Sacred Domain is another stronger powerhouse of the Sacred Domain! The word Sanctuary itself represents the strongest realm of cultivators in the world. And what about Leo? Leo is just a layman who can't even touch the threshold of cultivation, let Leo kill a Sanctuary powerhouse? Please, when have you ever seen an ant kill an elephant, even if it's even the weakest of elephants? That's definitely a very bad joke.

"Okay, then that's just the last question." Anthony once again showed that kind smile on his face, and asked Leo in a very light tone, "Dear Leo, have you found a small white round ball that is about this big?" Anthony asked, as he gestured his hand to a circle about the size of a pigeon's egg.

"Little white ball?" Leo, as always, showed a puzzled expression on his face: "What is that, can you eat it?" ”

"Eat?" Anthony couldn't help but laugh and said, "Dear Leo, this joke is really not funny at all, if anyone really eats it, even if that person is a Sanctuary master, I can tell you with great certainty what will happen if I eat that thing, that is-" Anthony suddenly put his face in front of Leo's eyes, and his eyes lit up with two extremely threatening glints: "Death--it's done!" ”

Leo's eyes flickered, and Anthony somehow returned to his position just now, staring at him with smiling eyes: "So dear Leo, have you seen it, have you seen it, have you seen, have you seen?" ”

"I haven't seen it." Leo shook his head firmly.

"That's a shame." Anthony couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and said to Leo in a very sincere tone, "Dear Leo, as a friend, I think I must tell you one thing sincerely-"

"What's the matter?" Leo asked.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, Leo's whole person was kicked into the air heavily, and then fell heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string, "Wow! Leo felt a sweet sensation in his throat, and blood spurted out of his mouth, staining the ground beside him red.

"You suck at lying, dear Leo." Anthony's breezy words floated across the night sky and into Leo's ears.
