When I was on Dragon Island, I wrote down the appearance of those abandoned magic arrays, and when I returned to Dongda 6, I couldn't wait to copy them into the parchment scroll.

With the addition of the magic circles I had studied in the Northern Forest, there were a total of thirteen magic circles on my parchment scroll.

A baker's dozen.

That's not a good number for magicians.

According to the legend of Big 6, on the thirteenth day of each month, twelve dark magicians will hold a carnival night, and the thirteenth devil Satan will appear at the high tide of the night, bringing disaster to people.

The magic circles on the parchment scrolls have different forms, but they are in the same vein, and it is very likely that they will be combined into a magic circle after recovery, although I am very eager to know the mysteries, but I also feel that there are many dangers.

However, after thinking about it for a while, I felt that maybe there were more than thirteen magic circles, and I should go to more places where dragons are haunted, or some kind of inheritance is about to be broken, maybe there will be something else.

As for those legends, I'll dismiss them as nonsense for the time being. After all, there's no way I'm going to throw away all the magic arrays for all these boring things.

Maybe it's Eve's potion that has greatly improved Bena's physical qualities, he has been very energetic recently, I got up in the middle of the night to drink water a few days ago, and now he is actually cultivating Dou Qi in the courtyard.

He told me that these days, the Dou Qi in his body has become purer, and the affinity with the thunder element has also greatly improved, and if he strengthens his practice, he may be able to break through the long-standing bottleneck and improve the level of his Dou Qi.

Although I don't think it's very good for him to practice like this, I also understand the importance of level improvement for a fighter, so I let him go.

I've been stepping up my research on healing magic lately, but in a different direction than Master Heber's.

Mage Heber's healing magic ability is already the best among healing magicians, and it is almost impossible to surpass her in terms of enhancing the healing effect and increasing the utilization of healing magic.

So, what I was thinking about was whether I could make healing magic a lethal type of magic as well.

After all, among all the magicians, only the healing magician has been powerless, and can only save people, not hurt people.

If I had even the slightest bit of lethality, I wouldn't have been so wolf last time it fell into the hands of Chelsea.

Although the element that constructs healing magic has long been called a "healing element", it is clear that it should have a less abstract and solidified elemental name, just like the elements "wind" and "water".

When I was in Dragon Isle, I was a little confused by the forest's natural resonance with healing magic and its ability to bonus healing magic.

Life is endless, prosperity and withering follow fate. The healing element with vigorous regenerative power should be the "wood element" at its origin.

Unfortunately, the healing magic cast by the healing mage is only healing, and cannot kill people like some poisonous trees and flowers, so ...... The elemental abilities I have mastered are not given the name of "wood elemental", and they are not wronged.

What I want to do is probably to make the healing elements toxin, or to go one step further and find a way to switch freely between the toxic and non-toxic elements.

Although there has been little progress so far, it ...... I guess I have a direction to work towards.

I spent several days in the apothecary of the mercenary group, and when I finally got out of the house, it was dark outside, and it was really not a good weather.

-- It's just as disturbing as the results of my research these days.

When I got back to Bednar's house, I found him lying on the table, sleeping deeply.

He had a faint dark blue underneath his eyes, and a lot of black beard on his chin, which looked a little haggard than I was.

"Bena?" I reached over and pushed him awake.

His eyelashes twitched, and then he opened his eyes, but there was a sudden flash of fierceness in his eyes.

Seeing that it was me, he seemed to come back to his senses and slowly straightened up: "...... Chloe, you're back. ”

"Isn't it smooth?" I put the potion in my hand on the table and sat down next to him.

“…… Oh, yes. Bena smiled bitterly twice, then stood up: "Have you eaten?" I just got some bread, and I'm going to bring it to you. ”

"I'll just go myself." I sat him down, then went into the kitchen myself, took out the plate of bread on the stovetop, and picked one up and put it in my mouth.

The baked golden bread was coated with a layer of honey, which tasted good and was not greasy, and Bena's craftsmanship was really much better than mine.

I've been in the pharmacy for a few days, and I've only dealt with a few bites when it's time to eat, and now I'm so hungry that I eat two or three in a row before I rest a little.

"By the way, didn't you say you wanted me to accompany you somewhere? When to go? ”

“…… Let's talk about it. Burnard's voice was a little hoarse, and I was amazed at it, and when I looked up, I found that he had eaten only half a loaf of bread in the little hour.

"What's wrong?" I was a little puzzled: "Fighting spirit is a process of slow accumulation, don't be too anxious, if there is no breakthrough...... It's not a bad idea to spend more time laying a solid foundation. ”

"Yes." Bednar agreed, but was visibly not in good spirits, and his smile was very dull.

"By the way, Bena, is there a place on the Big 6 that is similar to Dragon Island, where the inheritance is about to be severed?" I wanted to cheer him up, so I asked him something else to distract him.

"......" Bena thought for a moment, but shook his head.

I'm a little discouraged, those magic arrays ...... Is there really no other clue?

"By the way, we just received a mission, and in a few days we will go to the villages on the outskirts of the northern forest."

"The Northern Forest?"

"Well, there's been a recent rush to learn about the dark arts, and we need to get some preliminary information."

"So...... "Black magic? I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered something: "There are so many powerful magicians living in the northern forest, how can they allow the towns around them to be ravaged by black magic?" ”

"Are the northern forests inhabited by magicians with profound powers?" Bednar looked at me with some surprise, as if surprised that I would say such a thing.

“…… Yes...... Didn't you? The tongue seems to be out of control, and the lie of the sentence is said smoothly: "It seems that it was mentioned in the book I read before...... It's all the wild history of the big 6, maybe it's ...... Fake it. ”

Bednar gave me a deep look with his amber eyes, then lowered his head and answered, but never said anything else.

We were silent for a long time, and we were speechless, and he dozed off the table again, and I sorted out the mess in my head.

I had a gut feeling that he wasn't just bothered by the fact that he couldn't advance to the next level, but he obviously didn't want to tell me, so he ...... Whether it's out of respect or whatever, I want to ...... He shouldn't be questioned...... bar.

When I went to bed at night, I was given an extra futon, saying that it was time to add something to keep out the cold as the weather was getting cooler. But when his things were delivered, people were still reluctant to go out.

I saw that he was much more energetic than in the morning, and his embarrassed appearance was also very interesting, and I couldn't help but think of teasing him.

"What's wrong?" I spilled the diluted Eve potion on the ground and looked at him with a smile.

He shook his head, took a few deep breaths, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he spoke, "...... We...... You can sleep in one room

Intermittently? ”

"......" I couldn't help but laugh, and I thought it was cute to ask me about Bena with a serious face like this, "Okay." ”

Startled, but soon smiled, he turned around and walked a few steps, turned off all the lights, then removed his coat and lay down on my bed.

I reached over and wrapped my arms around his sturdy body. His body was warm, and in this somewhat cold weather, it brought a lot of warmth, and it made me sleepy. When I was in Dragon Island, I was already a little used to sleeping with him like this, and now it's just right.

After a while, I was already drowsy and drowsy, but I heard Bena's voice faintly in my ears.

"Kolo...... Don't you want to know my name? It's not a surname, it's a ...... My name. ”

Last name, first name.

My heart was beating, and I suddenly fell asleep, but I didn't want to open my eyes.

Although it is now such an ambiguous relationship, I have never asked for Bednar's name, or ...... Honestly, I ...... Didn't want to know his name.

When I didn't tell him my real name, I didn't want him to tell me his name.

It's like a ridiculous, quid pro quo that only I know.

Wait, I'll be ...... when I find out what caused the fire on Panson, find out Xavier's whereabouts, and find out what Master Herb said to me Confess this qiē to you.

I deliberately slowed my breathing to look like I was asleep, and for a long time I heard Benett sigh softly, and then ......

He reached out and took my "there".

"Colo......" Bednar's lips came with a hot and humid snort, and I was so startled that I opened my eyes and called his name vaguely, but he showed a narrow smile: "Awake?" ”

"What do you do......"

In the dark room, it was just me and him breathing heavily.

He clasped my shoulders tightly with his hands, kissed me deeply, and between his lips and teeth, I seemed to hear the crumpled syllables in Bednar's mouth, and he ...... Is it his name?
