Hall City, Rudolph's doorstep.

At this moment, Edwin was hesitantly standing outside Rudolph's door, wondering whether he should knock on the door.

He remembered that as soon as he and Christine returned to Hall, Old Bill told Edwin to take off his armor.

"I've met Earl John. Old Bill smiled.

"How do you know?"

"If I don't know, I'll ask Christine to take you? Old Bill knew that they would most likely meet Earl John, because he had provided the route.

Edwin told the story as it was.

"Tomorrow, you'll go to Rudolph's house, hahahaha. Old Bill smiled happily, as if because he had finally solved the burden.

Christine grabbed old Bill's ear and told him that if she cheated again, she would tear down the tavern and go on another mission.

"She had a younger brother who was about your age. Old Bill told Edwin drunken after drinking at night.

"And now?"

"She's alone. With that, he collapsed on the table.

"Blake, old Bill is down again. Edwin called out to the waiter who was cleaning up the wine glasses on the other side.

"Leave him alone, I'll wake up in a while. It seemed that he was used to it, and after saying that, he smiled at him again.

Back in the present, he knocked on Rudolph's door, and Old Bill told him to be more respectful of Rudolph when he left.

"Didn't anyone respond?" he looked at Rudolph's house, which was distinctly different from the inhabitants of the city, like a thick book standing upright, and the door was on the cover of the book.

"Who?" said a hoarse voice in the room.

"I am recommended by Earl John......"

"Alright, come in and sit on the first floor. Before he could finish speaking, he let him in, and he began to observe the environment.

On the wall hung a skeleton of an unknown species, still glowing a miserable white light. There are various potions scattered around the laboratory table. There was also a cage with a strange-looking wingless crow locked in it, watching him come in.

After a while, Rudolph descended the stairs, his long beard in the tradition of a magician, his dark blue robes obscuring his figure, and his blue eyes looking at Edwin as he sat there.

"Count John told me. He threw some grains into the cage.

"Mr. Rudolph......" Edwin swallowed.

"Do you know what this thing is?" he said, gesturing to the creature in the cage.

Edwin shook his head.

"This is a creature that lives in the Dolan Gorge on the western border of the kingdom - the kiwi bird. Do you know how I got him back?" said Rudolph, with some amusement.

Edwin continued to shake his head.

"The only kiwi in the whole team was trapped in the cage because it was greedy for my bait. With that, Rudolph laughed.

"I hope you don't get greedy, or you'll be trapped in a cage like this kiwi. Rudolph turned to a thick book.

"This is the complete explanation of the basics of magic written by the magician Abel Torres, there are many places in it that I have marked, and I will check your progress the day after tomorrow to see if you are qualified for my apprenticeship. ”

"Okay, I'll try. ”

"At night I sleep on the second floor and you are on the first floor, I usually like to be quiet. You are not allowed to set foot on the second floor without my permission. ”

"Sir, I ......" Edwin wanted to say something else.

"I'm very busy, I can solve it by myself, and the things on the first floor, as long as you feel you can, you can do whatever you want. As he spoke, he went upstairs.

"Such a thick book......"

"Oh, Edwin, you're in charge of my meals and cleaning the first floor, I used to hire a maid to clean it. ”

"Yes......"

So Edwin spent the past few days with a lot of magical knowledge, cleaning the house for Rudolph by the way. The day after tomorrow will soon arrive.

"Mr. Rudolph, it's time to eat. ”

"Okay. ”

After a while, he still didn't come down.

"Sir, it's time to eat. ”

"Right now, here it is. Rudolph walked down the stairs with a faint smell of smoke.

"Edwin, today is the day to make an appointment for me to check on your progress.

"Just ask. ”

"The kind of magic. ”

"Life, the undead, alchemy, the elements, the plane. ”

"Okay, I'll ask you again about the principles of alchemy. ”

"Equivalent exchange. ”

"The difference between life magic and necromancy. ”

"Life magic takes revival as the core element of magic, can restore life, transform life, and improve life, and orcs are the product of life magic. Necromancy uses the soul as the core element of magic and advocates the use of the soul. The two seem to be opposites, but they are actually complementary. ”

"Honestly, I'm satisfied. In a month, I want you to finish half of the book, do you find it difficult?" he put the cutlery on the table and wiped his mouth.

"I'll do my best. ”

"I hope you don't let me down. With that, Rudolph went to the second floor again.

The second floor of Rudolph's house

It was undoubtedly much larger than the small first floor, and Rudolph sat on the sofa facing a long, quaint mirror that began to emit white smoke, and he whispered something to the mirror, in which the figure of another man gradually appeared.

"I heard you took on an apprentice?"

"Hmm. Don't try to hit him. ”

"You're bullish on him?"

"He's a bit like me when I was younger. Of course, just a little. ”

"My Abel wants to take in apprentices, and I have to queue up to your door. ”

"Yes, how can you be as good as a poor magician in my small place. ”

"Why the grave keepers, don't you know that the Holy See is very sensitive to grave keepers?" Abel avoided the topic.

"Because...... His father?"

"Do you remember the prophet's prophecy five years ago?" asked Abel in the mirror.

"The heretics that wander the void are destined to be unleashed by the Sons of the Devil this year. ”

"There is already news from the Holy See and the Prime Minister. ”

"They're looking for me as an apprentice?"

"Almost, son of the devil...... Hello for yourself. Old John did not mention him to the county chief. ”

"His father helped him a lot. ”

His father was also a poor man, and he was forced to leave the country. ”

"What would the blood of the grave keeper and the blood of frost look like?" Rudolph looked at Abel.

"You try. Valueless and worthless are often in the middle of a thought. ”

"I let him study your book. ”

"Rudolph, you're getting lazy. ”

"Poor, I'm not the so-called special magician of the kingdom, the model of the magician of the whole country. ”

"I'm leaving. ”

"I don't send it. Rudolph smiled, and the smoke cleared, revealing Rudolph himself in the mirror.

"It doesn't matter if you're a son of the devil or not, you're my disciple anyway. ”

The capital of the Kingdom of Sant'Andrea, Anse Air

"Your Majesty, the matter has been confirmed. ”

"Really?" said the king, wearing a golden crown, as he looked at the prime minister at the foot of the steps.

"It was Borui who was released...... This is just the beginning, and according to the Prophet, the rest will be released one after another. ”

"Can you come up with a plan in five days that will convince me and the other nobles?"

"We have to discuss it with the Holy See, the magicians, and the military one after another, and it could take seven days. ”

"That's seven days. ”

A few more days passed, Hall City, Rudolph's house.

"Did you read today's New Haller?"

"Teacher, I don't have the habit of reading newspapers. ”

"Okay, then I'll read it to you. Rudolph casually appeared a newspaper.

"The kingdom has issued an official bounty on a man named Borui and others who have come into contact with him. Rudolph looked straight at Edwin at this point.

"I remember, you came here to be introduced by Earl John, and Count John wrote that you turned out to be a tomb keeper, can you tell me why you don't go to the tomb anymore?"

"I look old, but I'm still young among magicians. Come, tell me. Rudolph smiled at Edwin.

So Edwin told him where he came from. There was no hiding, and he didn't want to hide it.

"Face up to your past, it's not your fault, it's meant to happen. Rudolph said, and another loaf of bread appeared in his hand, and he broke it for Edwin and ate it himself.

"I'll stop him. Edwin took the bread and chewed it.

"You're confident. ”

"I think I'm fine. Edwin laughed for the first time since that night.

At this moment, Borui is no longer called Borui, and the people in his fiefdom call him Duke Attlee, and he completely occupies the body of the original owner.

"The necromancy of this world is really nostalgic, and it suits me as always. ”

"Although he is not a big man like the county head, it is enough to have this identity. The aristocracy of mankind is still so hypocritical. ”

In the Far North, a man with a tomahawk fights wolves on an ice field. When he returned to the tavern after the hunt, he heard the aliens saying,

"Did you hear that? The ancient demons of the Kingdom of Santa Andrea seem to have been unleashed. ”

"Hopefully, misfortune doesn't ensue. ”

The man's ice-stained beard shook and his pupils shrank.
