Chapter VI

First time hearing about Belica? At the time of the name Anteas, I was studying magic at the Elizabethan School of Magic, and with my talent at the time, I was fully capable of officially entering the Clock Tower School of Magic before the age of 16, and it was because of her arrival that all that changed.

——

My name is Chris? Bai, the heir left by the daughter of the Sphinx family and a Chinese man when she was training in China, I would have lived my life plainly as a native Chinese, but when I was 8 years old I was found to have the same amount of magic circuits as the Sphinx, or even stronger, my life changed dramatically.

An unknown blond-haired, blue-eyed man forcibly took me away from my mother and father and into England, the other side of the planet.

As a simple farmer, my father told me to accept my fate since I was a child, so I have always been very well-behaved since I was brought to the Sphinx's house, and I never disobeyed them, like an obedient robot.

When I think about it now, I just thought it was ridiculous, I was so stupid at the time. I really don't know how my mother, who has wider horizons and thoughts than my father, looks at my father, should I say that it is the greatness of love?

However, it is precisely because of my father's wrong education policy that I have never caused any trouble in this hierarchical Sphinx family. No matter how well-behaved I was, the adults still ignored me, and to them, I was a hybrid of other bloodlines. In the eyes of my peers, I was a spineless coward.

If anyone dares to spit on me and call me spineless, I'll give him a taste of the power of magic. However, for me at that time, I was indeed a spineless coward!

Don't dare to disobey the adults!

Children who dare not disobey the adults!

Don't dare to disobey someone stronger than me!

Don't dare to disobey someone weaker than me!

Carefully living between light and shadow, but I still underestimated the "magician".

That's right, I've always been careful to live, I've always been humble like an antfly, no friends, no family, only the thick magic book that accompanies me.

Because of this, no one knows how strong I am, in fact, even I don't know how strong I am. As a humble person, I can only carefully control a small flame in the quilt at night to keep myself warm. The small flame burned, and he didn't dare to let it burn to the quilt, so he carefully held it in the palm of his hand.

And all of this was shattered in my third year in the family.

It was an ordinary night, and I clung to the shadow of the wall with my magic book, careful not to let the moonlight shine on me.

The library is located next to the Magic Hall, and every night I summon a magical flame in the empty auditorium with a book I borrowed from the library, and then return to my room in the middle of the night to practice the magic I have learned today.

For a large family like the Sphinx, the library is closed with magic locks, and only those with Sphinx blood can enter, and although the books inside can be taken out of the library at will, if you leave this large and incredible mansion. The spells in the book will start to alarm the family's enforcers.

I slipped into the magic hall as usual, trying to find the place I used to do. However, there is something wrong with the atmosphere in the auditorium today. After years of careful living, I easily sniffed out other scents in the air.

It's the smell of blood, and it's the smell of danger.

I've never felt like the moonlight was so bright tonight that I could see the inside of what should have been a pitch-black auditorium, even without the magic of "true sight". In the Great Hall, Archmage Eisen lay on the podium, bright red blood slowly spreading outward from his body.

And standing next to Eisen was none other than his son, Jason, who became an archmage at a young age. Jason held an ancient parchment scroll in his right hand and a silver knight's sword in his left, with a wicked smile on his face.

"What an old-fashioned old man, wouldn't I have died if I had been given it earlier?"

The cold, slightly excited voice echoed through the silent auditorium, giving me the creeps.

Eisen is the most authoritative person in the Sphinx family outside of the current head of the family, and it was his son Jason who killed him.

Knowing this fact, I subconsciously wanted to run away. Telling people about something, I never thought about it.

I stepped back in fear, glad that Jason didn't notice me as an uninvited guest, and still looked at the parchment roll in his hand, very intoxicated.

I stared at Jason, afraid that he would see me, and stepped back step by step, and just as my back leaned against the door, I breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn and flee, but I didn't want the thick magic book to fall to the ground because of my direction.

Smack——!

The clear sound echoed in this auditorium, and while my face turned pale, Jason, who was self-absorbed on the stage, also came back to his senses and shouted, "Who?!" ”

"Wow!" I screamed and was about to flee when suddenly, the half-hidden door slammed shut as if it had been pushed by some force.

I slammed into the closed door and had a nosebleed, "Woo! I clutched my nose and exhaled in pain.

At this time, Jason had already noticed me, and his panicked face calmed down after seeing me, and his usual amiable smile appeared on his face: "Oh, I thought it was who, it turned out to be our dear half-breed Chris?" White! ”

"I didn't see anything!" I screamed in terror, and I had no way to retreat with my back to the gate.

"Did I say you saw anything?" Jason smiled harmlessly, and Bai Sensen's teeth almost scared me out of my pants. He pinched his chin slightly, "But, you're such a smart kid, I really don't want to kill you!" ”

There was a glimmer of hope in my eyes, no matter what, as long as I could survive, as for resistance, I never thought of it, Jason is a powerful great magician!

Jason also saw a glimmer of hope in my eyes, and a hint of amusement appeared on his face, and he said in his usual gentle tone: "Dear boy, do you know that there is always only one kind of person in the world who can keep secrets! ”

As he spoke, Jason, who had already walked in front of me, raised the silver longsword in his hand.

Only now did I clearly see Jason's face with a warm smile, and his eyes were cold to the heart! (To be continued.) )
