Edwin unsurprisingly passed Rudolph's test and has officially become an apprentice magician.

"What is magic?" asked Rudolph.

"Magic is a certain force triggered by the connection between human beings and the world and their own affinity. Edwin replied cautiously.

"Someone taught you before?"

"Nope. ”

"What's the use of academics if it's not as you say, it's wrong to use academics to embellish things. ”

"I tell you, magic is mystery. It is the first magic that people summarize all mysterious phenomena and use them to solve practical problems. ”

"I see. Edwin nodded understandingly.

"I will take a period of time every day to teach you, and the rest is up to you, you can ask if you don't understand, but comprehension is very important. ”

Rudolph rarely goes out, and Edwin helps with everything. He knew that his teacher was respected, even in awe, in Hall City. It wasn't until that person appeared that he knew that the teacher also had people to fear.

"Edwin, I'm your teacher's friend. The man standing in the doorway smiled kindly and said to him.

"Sit, sir, I'll make you a cup of tea. ”

"Okay. The man wore a top hat and a formal suit, and the cane in his hand was placed on the side of the sofa, and he took a sip of tea very gentlemanly.

"Alfred, why are you here?" exclaimed Rudolph in surprise.

"Don't come unharmed, senior brother. ”

"When I see you, I feel disgusted, you have lost the teacher's face. Rudolph looked at him with disgust.

"After all, the teacher is gone, so why bother with the past. I'm here today to ask you something, and I'll leave after that. ”

"You say, just leave, I'm not welcome you. ”

"Senior brother, have you ever heard of ancient alchemy magic?"

"Of course, it was said to be much more brilliant than it is now, but because of that incident, the inheritance of magic was broken. Rudolph looked at Alfred and wondered why he was asking this.

"Our people recently discovered a place similar to the ancient alchemy ruins, senior brother, are you interested?"

"That's it?"

Alfred nodded, still with a harmless smile on his face.

"Why don't you go to someone else, you have to find me, an old man. "Rudolph looks a lot older than Alfred.

"The glorious alchemy magic and manufacturing process of the ancient dwarf race have been superb, and it is inevitable that there will be some mustard when looking for others, but senior brother, we all know the roots, I can rest assured. ”

"Time, place, pay. ”

"Isn't there a way for us to get in touch, and it's more sincere to come here today. If you find anything, you have 30% of it, so you can do it. Alfred held out three fingers.

Rudolph nodded, and added, "Elizabeth...... It's gone. ”

"No, she's still there, she's still with me, she's always with me in this ring on my hand. Alfred smiled and flashed the ring on his hand.

"You...... Don't have that delusion. Rudolph didn't know what to say.

"You don't have to worry about it. Senior brother, we look forward to seeing you next time. Alfred bowed and disappeared.

"Mr. Alfred, he seems to be a good-natured man. ”

"Don't be fooled by his appearance. He was a disgrace to the magicians. ”

"Why?"

"Because he was the first to join the army and train magicians for the army. ”

"The creed of the magicians, always free, always out of the way. ”

"Okay, whatever you want, go and get ready, you may have to go on a long trip in a few days. ”

"Am I going too?"

"Hmm. Rudolph thought to himself, nonsense, what if I don't take you and get taken away.

Alfred's appointment with Rudolph soon came.

"All ready?" said Rudolph, looking at Edwin, who was packing.

"Almost, teacher. Edwin nodded.

Rudolph looked at Edwin's still somewhat immature face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he was also the apprentice of that when he was so old, he was also reciting those obscure magic entries and all kinds of spells, and he couldn't go back.

He shook his head, wondering what he was doing.

"How is Mr. Alfred going to pick us up?"

"He'll be there on time when the clock strikes at three o'clock in the afternoon"

"Teacher, can you tell me about the dwarves?"

Rudolph nodded, "The dwarves in ancient times were divided into two categories, in fact, they were originally a race, but some of them were tempted by demons, that is, the kind you unleashed, and began to become brutal, advocating war, and using alchemy magic to create huge war machines. The other type is peace-loving, alchemical magic is used to transform one's own life, and the technique is also very high. ”

"Then we're going to ......"

"I don't know. But Alfred would have arranged it, and the efficiency of their army has always been high. ”

After the clock struck three o'clock in the afternoon, Alfred showed up on the first floor of Rudolph's house.

"Good afternoon, guys, are you ready?" he was dressed in a completely different outfit this time, wearing a well-fitting but not oversized robe, and holding a pocket wand in his hand.

Edwin nodded, he had a few seeds Rudolph had given him.

"Plant it in the ground, recite the spell I have taught you, and it will grow, and we will have food. He remembered what Rudolph had told him.

"The carriage is ready. Alfred led the two into the carriage, and he sat in it himself.

"Because of our confidentiality agreement, we can only sit in the carriage. He smiled helplessly at Edwin.

"That place isn't in Lanxia County?" said Rudolph, looking at Alfred.

"Yes, we have established spatial coordinates there, and when we leave the city, we will pass through the spatial passages that have been improvised for it. ”

"Which clan does that alchemy site belong to?"

"The warmongers. Alfred stopped talking about it.

The journey was much quicker than Edwin had expected, and Alfred told a lot about the customs of the kingdom along the way, and when the three of them got out of the carriage, they were in front of a huge dark cave, and the carriage looked small in front of it.

"This cave is taller than the papal spire in Hall City, can this really be done by the ancients?" Edwin couldn't close his mouth.

"Little one, don't rush to admire. Keep up with me, or you'll easily get lost. Alfred snapped his fingers in the air, and the cave brightened up as the flames on either side lit up.

The master and apprentice followed Alfred all the way forward, and Edwin felt as if the cave had no end.

"Alfred, how far is it?"

"Right now, this is just the outlying area, we've already cleaned it up. We'll have to take the dwarven cable car through the tunnel. ”

So the three of them got on the cable car again, and on the cable car, Rudolph was a little impatient,

"Can't you just teleport there?"

"The elements here are so chaotic, and there is even the aura of an ancient demon, and I sometimes wonder if this is a deliberate temptation by a demon. ”

"Say what. ”

"Have you ever been to a place like this before?"

Edwin shook his head, he hated this dark place from the bottom of his heart.

"Ancient dwarves lived here. They believe that the underworld is endless, with countless treasures, and it seems that living in darkness is the fate of the dwarves. Rudolph was idle and bored, so he popularized this common sense for Edwin on the cable car.

"Are there any dwarves yet?"

"Of course there is, but it's like a different race compared to ancient times. ”

From time to time, startled bats howl and dodge the speeding gondola. This journey is also coming to an end.

"Here we are. Alfred greeted them and got off the gondola.

"Ahead is our makeshift camp. ”

"Sir, you're back. "The sentries standing guard at the camp point saluted Alfred.

"Wilson, what about the others?"

"They're inside. ”

"Okay. Alfred led the two into the camp, and as he was about to enter, he jerked around, and the wand in his hand flashed purple and pointed at Wilson's back.

"The soul has been drained away......" he muttered.

"Something may not be right. Alfred looked at Wilson's body at his feet.

"It's necromancy, and the people inside should have a problem. ”

"Sir, what's going on?" the men from the camp walked out.

One, two, one after the other, all came out, "Sir, what's going on?"

Even Wilson, who had just fallen to the ground, stood behind them, "Sir, what's going on?"

They didn't look out of the ordinary, but those purple-glowing eyes were still dazzling in the dwarven dungeon, where only the flames flickered.

"I knew it would be wrong to come out with you. Rudolph pursed his lips, and the wand in his hand began to fluctuate.

"Yes, I'm sorry for the trouble. ”

Edwin hid behind the two of them, but he felt like he was in a blur, as if a voice was always ringing in his ears.

"Welcome to the dwarven dungeon, son of the devil. ”
