Saranos.

Although the trampling of the great apes and the subsequent attack of the mad Rhaegar caused heavy losses to the plain, as time passed, the scars of the past were gradually healed, the dead were buried, the ruins of the houses were cleared, and there was no longer a trace of the catastrophe in this 'fertile' land.

Offon stepped barefoot on the thorny ground, and the sharp thorns that penetrated deep into the skin and flesh seemed to have no effect on him, at this moment, the young mage's mind was completely immersed in the 'exchange' and communication with the surrounding primordial energy particles, and he was deeply 'fascinated' by the rhythm of the most basic energy forms from the origin of the universe.

Taking a slight breath, Northon's hands danced rapidly in a mysterious rhythm, and the "waves" that could not be seen by the "naked eye" expanded outward with the gestures, and finally, when these "waves" converged more than ten meters away from him, forming an irresistible giant "wave", where it passed, the ground rolled away as if it had been ploughed, and those objects that protruded from the ground, whether it were rocks or trees, all became shattered. This 'wave' of qi that destroyed 'sex' continued until tens of meters away before gradually disappearing, and at this time, everything within the scope of the magic had been turned into pieces.

Norsen slowly opened his eyes, unsurprisingly looking at everything he had created in front of him, just now, at the same time that he comprehended some laws of the original energy activity and was able to send out this shattering 'wave', he had successfully broken through the boundary between trainee mages and full-fledged mages, and from now on, he was already a sixth-order mage who was awe-inspiring no matter where he went.

His gaze slowly swept over the valley where he was, and finally stopped at the entrance of a cave in which his life had been turned upside down, and the root of this change was his mentor, who was lying quietly in that cave.

It is difficult for Northon to tell how he really felt about Rhaegar as the mentor who single-handedly brought him into the great magic 'gate', and now he knows that he was just a pawn of the other party in the original St. Endos, although he doesn't know why Rhaegar saved him in the end, Northon believes that if it was necessary at that time, the former would definitely not hesitate to abandon him.

Norson is not a simple and kind man in the true sense of the word, he may have been instilled with a lot of knightly precepts in his head, he may envy and deliberately imitate the practices of those nobles and knights in ordinary days, and when he encounters monsters like the great apes of the earth, he may act in some kind of self-sacrifice according to those teachings when he cannot escape, but in essence, he adopts a flexible attitude towards things. In order to achieve his ends, he does not mind using certain means that violate the teachings he received since childhood, just as he did not hesitate to take refuge in Rhaegar and summon demons according to his instructions in order to learn magic.

The same is true of Rhaeggar's attitude, if he was full of emotion and admiration for the spirit when he first followed him to learn magic, with the passage of time and his own maturity, this young man's heart is now more afraid of the mentor's powerful strength and elusive mentality, he will never know what the other party is thinking in his heart, and it is even more difficult to imagine what kind of strength the other party has. Because of this, when Rhaegar used a method to make those giant apes go crazy and kill each other on that night half a year ago, and he himself was unconscious, he did not leave immediately, but remained in this valley, practicing magic while guarding the 'flesh' body of the mentor with all his heart - In the early days of teaching Norson's magic, in order to prevent the apprentice from betraying him while he was delirious, Rhaegar set various traps to test his loyalty several times, and after each test, he deliberately let Northon know the truth, making him unsure if this was another test of his mentor. Until he can ensure his own safety, in front of this unfathomable being, this is his only option.

Rhaegar quietly observed his apprentice, taking in the psychological changes of the other man.

As early as three days ago, the geist had already returned to his 'flesh' body, and he had to thank the previous transformations, without them, after losing his soul for half a year, this body would have already decayed, and it would definitely not be able to maintain its vitality like it is now. But he didn't wake up right away, because just as he returned to his 'flesh' body, he felt the 'waves' of the apprentice's soul waiting beside him.

Since repairing the soul of *** and fully fusing the soul fragments from the Ancestor of Magic, a large number of memories have begun to gradually recover, and more and more skills have appeared in Rhaegar's mind, and at the same time, his perception of soul and mind has become more and more acute. At that moment, he clearly felt the complex emotions contained in the 'wave' of Northon's emanation, which was a combination of timidity, evasion, boredom, etc., and there was no doubt that the apprentice was tired of staying next to an unconscious body.

Rhaegar didn't pay much attention to Northam's state of mind, and as the soul stabilized, the geist had returned to reason, and he fully understood the reason why he had feelings for this apprentice in the first place - it was a kind of empathy, to be exact, a kind of subconscious compensation.

As Carson fends off the deadly assault on him, Rhaegar finally realizes the importance of this old man, and he may just think of himself as another Rhaegar who he has raised as the only disciple he has raised since childhood, the young man who has long since died, but no matter what, the care and unconditional trust buried under the stern exterior, the geist will never forget. As a creature known for his rational 'sex', his rebellion against Carson during his time in the *** division tower is undoubtedly very misguided, and anyone who is treated like this may become hostile to the other party because of this, but this just reflects his mentality towards the latter from one side - only the betrayal of the relatives he cares about will make his death like him angry, thus showing all kinds of irrationality.

This realization made him feel dazed and dazed, and the feeling of losing his closest people once again after losing his companions made him almost crazy, not so much because the Ancestor of Magic's huge soul fragments beyond the limits of his fusion at that time made him delirious, but because this feeling made him subconsciously repel the soul of the mentor who had killed him, thus causing the fusion to take place. And it was also out of guilt for Carson, when he was delirious, he subconsciously regarded himself as the Carson of the year, and regarded Norsen, the young apprentice, as his former self.

Realizing this, the geist has lost interest in continuing to teach Norson, and he has more important things to do, but until then, he has decided to further deepen and consolidate his terrible image in the other party's mind - it is undeniable that Norsen is indeed a rare magical genius, and his talent even surpasses that of another Rhaegar, such a genius taught by his own hands will undoubtedly be a very useful pawn, and since he can't impress the other party with his feelings, let his fear of himself live forever.

A consciousness full of supreme majesty swept through Nuosen's mind without warning, and the young sixth-order mage felt a shudder from the heart, in front of this consciousness, the confidence in his own power that he had just established was disintegrated in an instant, as if facing a lion's lamb, his whole body trembled slightly, and the 'spirit' spirit would collapse at any time.

Fortunately, the consciousness that weighed on him like a mountain soon dissipated, and then he heard a familiar voice.

"Come in. His mentor said in the same calm tone as ever.

When Northson, who had finally recovered from shock, sat in front of his mentor in disbelief, a sentence from Rhaegar who had just woken up almost scared him crazy again.

"You're tired of being with me," he said calmly, stopping Northon's defense with a look of no emotion, "and you've been able to persevere for one reason for the past six months—fear of me." You can't be sure if this is another test I've done on you, as I have done a few times before. ”

Northson's body trembled uncontrollably again, and he tried to tell the difference, but in front of the other man's calm and unwavering expression, he suddenly found that he could not say a word.

"Good news, bad news. Ignoring the apprentice's reaction, Rhaegar continued, "Good news, your speculation is right, this is indeed a test, a test of your loyalty, bad news," he looked into Northon's eyes, "you failed the grade. ”

For Norson, this sentence was tantamount to announcing his death sentence, and the young mage's whole body seemed to be 'drained', and he sat down in his seat, his face pale, his lips trembling slightly, but he could not make a sound.

"But at least, you've been here for half a year, as I said," Rhaegar said next, dragging him back from hell, "Either way, it's a sign of obedience—not faithful, but still obedient, and if I could find in you any reason for my forgiveness, that's the only thing." ”

The geist stretched out his hand and placed it on Northon's head, and the apprentice who could dodge as long as he moved his neck seemed to be frozen, without the slightest thought of dodging, and let the power from the other party's hand enter his soul.
