"We were commissioned by the Southern District of Boulder City. ”

Mia took the scroll.

"Good luck. ”

Alan followed Mia, and suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps at the door of the palace.

Looking up, Alan saw a man.

Alan thought of many adjectives, but only this one word matched the man.

Handsome.

There are no sword eyebrows and starry eyes, bright eyes and bright teeth.

The fair skin and the right combination of facial features make women jealous.

Even Mia, who has never had any emotional fluctuations, couldn't help but be stunned when she saw this man.

"Mia, you're back, aren't you hurt?"

Mia had already taken off her hood, and the man had a smile on his face when he saw Mia.

"Nope. ”

Mia said lightly.

"That's good, who is this?"

When the man saw the strange Alan, he walked over and stretched out his hand to him, with a kind smile on his face.

"Alan. ”

Alan held out his right hand.

The other hand's hand was also dark red, but it was extremely delicate and smoother to the touch than a woman's skin.

As soon as the hands of the two touched, the man's mouth also stuck out his tongue and licked Allen's hand.

Allen's heart suddenly felt a little cold, and his hand couldn't help but retract.

"I'm sorry, but you know that you can't control it. ”

Feeling the embarrassing movements of the devil's mouth, an apologetic smile appeared on the man's face.

"My name is Noah, a three-star magician, and I will take care of it in the future. ”

Before Alan could react, Noah suddenly approached him and continued to whisper in his ear.

"There's a very annoying woman outside the palace, you help me get rid of her, and tomorrow I'll give you a sacrifice that interests you. ”

Noah patted Allen on the shoulder and walked towards the palace with a smile.

Within a few steps, Alan saw a woman waiting at the bottom of the palace steps.

She was dressed in aristocratic clothes and held a small umbrella, although she couldn't see her face clearly, but just looking at her figure, she was definitely good.

"Noah's affairs, do you want to take care of it?"

Alan turned his head and asked Mia.

Mia clearly knew something about this magician named Noah.

Mia hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Others are not bad. ”

The two of them walked down the stairs to the woman's side.

Hearing footsteps, the woman raised her head, revealing a delicate face.

Although it can't be called a country and a city, it can definitely score more than 80 points.

"You ...... Did you meet Noah?"

She seemed to have guessed the intention of the two Ellens, and the corners of her eyes suddenly became foggy.

"Well, he wants you to ...... Don't pester him. ”

Alan hesitated, but said it anyway.

Damn it.

How do you feel that this Noah is like a scumbag.

deceived the girl's feelings, and then turned his face and didn't recognize people.

"I see......"

Hearing Allen's words, the woman suddenly couldn't hold herself, and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

"But please tell him that I won't give up so easily!"

The woman threw her umbrella aside, wiped her tears and ran away.

Looking at the back of the woman leaving, Alan felt a little uncomfortable.

At this moment, Anna should be even more sad than this woman.

Seeing Alan's appearance, Mia surprisingly didn't smile.

She walked over to Eren and sighed.

"As a magician, you have to leave behind the seven emotions and six desires when you carry the curse of your right arm. ”

"We were born to work hard to kill. ”

With that, Mia placed a bunch of keys and a note in Alan's hand.

"Your address in Boulder City, you can rest for the night first, and I will contact you through the Boulder Pendant when I set out tomorrow to investigate the commission. ”

Mia looked at the pedestrians on the street not far away, and continued.

"Also, I recommend you go back to Tiffany and get a wizard set and a little basic sacrifice. ”

"Since you've forgotten what happened before, you might as well go to the literature office and check the information again. ”

With that, Mia left.

Thinking about Mia's words, Eren turned his head and walked up the steps.

All of his knowledge of the world comes from Front.

He didn't lie to me, but I should have looked at the official information.

When Alan walked to the entrance of the palace, Noah was already walking out, holding a scroll in his hand.

Wearing a black cloak, with an elegant charm, coupled with his face, if it was placed in the previous life, it would be a proper little fresh meat.

"Woman, gone?"

Seeing Allen, he hurriedly came up and probed his brain outside.

"Gone, why are you avoiding her?"

Alan asked, somewhat curious.

Is every magician like Mia, who doesn't want to come into contact with outsiders?

"I'm not one of those indulgent fellows, and if I promise her, it won't do me or her. ”

Indulgence?

It's a term that Allen hasn't heard of before.

"Tell me your address, and I'll send it to you tomorrow. ”

Alan showed him the note in his hand.

Noah nodded, then patted Alan on the shoulder again and walked out.

"How did you come back?"

Tiffany was sorting through the scrolls when she saw Alan go and return, and asked.

"I'm going to get the Wizard set and some basic sacrifices. ”

This is the first time Alan has officially looked at Tiffany.

The black cloak covered her whole body, the usual mystical style of a magician.

But when she held the scroll in her hand, the somewhat old hand was revealed, but there was no trace of magic.

Through the eye of the heart, Alan was also unable to find any magic in her.

It's like being an ordinary person.

"There are clothes in the cupboard over there, and as for the offerings, I'll give them to you now. ”

The hood obscures Tiffany's face, making it impossible to see the expression on her face.

She placed the scroll in her hand on the shelf, walked over to the great stove, and reached inside.

"Isn't it axe shards?"

Looking at what Tiffany was doing, Alan couldn't help but ask.

"Axe shards, I don't even want to give this kind of garbage. ”

Tiffany placed the contents on the table in front of her.

It was a sword hilt and a falcon feather.

The hilt was a dark red, with occasional flashes of fire.

It's the sacrifice Mia used before.

Eren could see with his own eyes the power of this sword after the hilt turned into a flaming greatsword.

The heat was much stronger than the fragments of an axe, even the fragments of an iron axe.

"Take it, it's a greeting gift. ”

"No need to thank you, as long as you kill a few more monsters in the future. ”

Tiffany, as if she had anticipated what Eren was about to say, turned around and began to sort out the scrolls, not quite wanting to talk to people.

Silently putting the flaming red hilt and the feather of the falcon into the sacrificial bag, Eren asked.

"Where's the Documentation?"

Following Tiffany's guidance, Alan came to a corner of the palace.

A couple of empty bookshelves, and a wooden table with a few chairs next to it.

There were only a few books on the shelves, and they looked a little old, with cobwebs in the corners.

It is hard to imagine that such a splendid palace could have such a dilapidated place.

Alan took one of the books down and kicked up a cloud of dust.

The Nature of Magic by Pendragon

Reach out and take another one, this one is thinner.

Author of the Iron Rule of Afiron: Pendragon

Alan took the rest of the books, only to find that they were all these two books.

"Surprised?"

Tiffany's voice suddenly came from behind her.

At some point, she had come to the bookshelf and looked at Alan.

"Such a huge organization, there are only these two books?"

Walking up to Alan, Tiffany pulled the two books out of his arms, placed them on the table, and put the rest back on the shelf.

"On top of that, I'm curious about who Pendragan is. ”

Alan sat at the table and looked at Tiffany.

"I don't know what kind of trauma you've been through to forget everything so completely. ”

"Pendragan is the leader of Afaryon. ”

"Leader?"

"Not just the leader, he is the founder, he is the one who brings all the magicians together into a world-class organization and formulates the iron rules of magicians. ”

"Before Avalon's founding, magicians were inferior to rats crossing the streets, and some magicians were hanged because they couldn't stand the humiliation and went on a killing spree against ordinary people. ”

"It is he who enables the magician to straighten his back and exercise the necessary sins in this world. ”

It was the first time Alan had heard Tiffany say so much.

Even if he couldn't see her face, judging by the tone of her voice, her eyes must have been full of reverence when she mentioned the name Pendragon.

"How long is Afaloon?"

Alan then asked.

"So far, it has been three hundred and two years since Afalong was founded. ”

Alan's eyes dilated.

"That Pendragon, still alive?"

His voice trembled a little.

According to Front, although magicians can easily live for hundreds of years because their bodies have been strengthened by magic, few people can live to middle age, let alone hundreds of years, due to the hidden danger of losing control and the desire to kill in the devil's mouth.

"Yes, for a magician, he is the only god and the first legendary magician. ”

Tiffany, who has always been unwavering, is trembling at this moment.

Alan couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

You know, the legend of the magician is a legend above the nine-star magician.

This means that the other person is likely to know how to get back to Earth.

"How can I meet him?"

Alan couldn't help but ask.

"See him? You're really whimsical. ”

"Once you have been promoted to the rank of Seven-Star Mage, then you will be able to go to the Chimera and meet the great Pendragon in person. ”

As if hearing a big joke, Tiffany couldn't help but laugh, her body swaying slightly.

A seven-star magician......

Alan knew that with the particularity of his physique, he would never have to worry about being eaten by sacrifices, and he would be able to get to that position sooner or later.

"To put it another way, is there any magic that can break through the space and go to another world?"

"No, at least in my mind. ”

Hearing Tiffany's words, Allen's heart was somewhat disappointed.

"Why only these two books?"

"Because there is no specific rule for monsters, the same person, in different environments, may have different desires, and thus become different monsters. ”

"If you use only known monsters to delineate the rules, and summarize all the monsters in the world, this is not only an irresponsible behavior, but also kills many magicians. ”

"Magicians rely on experience, not theory. ”

With that, Tiffany stood up, still unable to see her expression.

"Alright, little one, you've asked enough today, I hope you can live well. ”

She's gone.

Bypassing the bookshelves, in the blink of an eye, the person is gone.

Alan didn't stand up to chase after him, he was more concerned about the "Nature of Magic" in his hand.

Turning the first page, Allen's brow furrowed.

After a few seconds, he turned the second page again.

After a few minutes, Alan had already turned to the last page, his eyes quickly scanning the contents.

He breathed a sigh of relief and closed the book.

The book is thin.

Most of this knowledge is more or less mentioned by Frank.

But the remaining small part is appalling.

The author of this book, the Supreme Leader of Afaryon, states that the reason why magicians can use magic through the life force in the sacrificial sacrifice is because of the existence of the god of desire.

Even the magic obtained when sacrificing monsters comes from the power of the god of desire.

The magician sacrifices to the god of desire, and then uses the reward for the sacrifice, that is, magic, to kill the product of the god of desire.

Sounds incredibly ironic.

It's like a ring with no exit.

The power used to kill the enemy comes from the gods who created the enemy.

Pendragan points out that if you keep using the power given by the god of desire, you will never be able to kill monsters.

Only by using the power that comes from oneself and this world can one challenge the black hand behind the monster, the god of desire.

Does it come from itself, from the power of this world?

Alan looked at his right hand.

The mouth of the devil drooled more and more, and the slender tongue became more active.

For almost a week, it didn't taste any of the creatures.

The theory proposed by Pendragon is simply impossible to realize.

If you want to become stronger, you can only make your magic stronger by offering sacrifices to the god of desire.

So......

Legends about magicians, could it be the kind of person Pendragon refers to?

Strength comes entirely from itself, from this world, without relying on hostile gods?

Alan's fingers kept tapping on the tabletop, his brow furrowed.

After a few seconds, he breathed a sigh of relief and put The Nature of Magic aside.

Alan picked up the book of "The Iron Rule of Afaryon" next to him, which was similar to what Frant said.

Monsters must die.

No matter what their prototype looks like.

Once the heart is soft-hearted, then it will leave a greater hidden danger.

It can't be an ordinary way to die, and their souls must be sealed with their right arm to prevent the monster from reappearing.

No matter what the cost.

Alan put down the book and took out the so-called magician's suit from the cabinet not far away.

Cloaks, singles, trousers, socks, boots.

It's all in order.

Picking up a basket from the side, Alan put the suit into the basket and lifted it up.

He doesn't have a penchant for changing clothes in public places.

Alan walked out of the palace.

He sighed as he looked at the fading sky.

Alan walked down the stairs and watched the people on the street.

"It's so lively, but I don't belong here......"

He leaned against the wall by the side of the road, basket in hand, and stared blankly at the street.

At this moment, a man's voice suddenly came from the alley behind him.

"Hey...... Brat...... What are you doing......"
