"I hate talking nonsense, and I hate wasting time, so please give me a reason not to kill you as soon as possible, Priest Draco. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Under the dark night sky, an expressionless Loren crouched beside Draco, who had collapsed to the ground, the broken sword in his right hand against the other party's throat, and he spoke without the slightest wave.

As long as he dared to say half a word, and with the slightest movement of his hands, the blade would not hesitate to pierce the fragile and soft skin and cut off his head—Loren could do it, and he was confident that Draco in front of him would not doubt his abilities, as evidenced by the corpses of ghouls all around.

"You, whatever you want, just say I can give it to you!Whatever, anything!" Priest Draco, who was completely paralyzed with fright, desperately opened his mouth, which was almost speechless, and his eyes were full of fear: "As long as you can let me go, as long as you let me go, I can do anything!"

No matter how he plotted and planned his murder in the shadows, Draco was a priest and alchemist, neither a fanatic nor a warrior who could face the bleak life and blood, and he was doing his best to speak now.

"I'm not a robber, and I'm not an extortionist. Loren smiled teasingly: "We are all wizards, so let's use wizard methods to solve this problem in a civilized way." ”

"Wizard's method ......" Draco paused for a moment, then his face instantly turned ashen - this damn apprentice wanted his own research!

What else do you say is not a robber or an extortionist, and it should be resolved in a civilized manner...... It's all. What could be more important to a wizard than his own life?

Possessing all the achievements of oneself is almost equivalent to erasing the meaning of one's entire existence!

But at the moment, life is still at the top of the line, even if this kid offers a high price, it is impossible for him not to accept it...... After weighing it a little more, Draco immediately nodded desperately, "But, yes, whichever ...... you want"

"Which?" said Loren, using a rhetorical question.

"All, all of it is yours......" Draco shuddered as he said the words that made him shudder, "As long as you can let me go, all my work will be yours!"

"Where are all those things?"

"It's all in... At... Ah, it's all in the church!" Draco almost cried out as if he remembered it all at once, "As long as you let me go back to church, no, no, no...... You go back to church with me, and then I'll keep the promise and give it to you, and then we'll act as if none of this happened, how about it?"

Draco, who had tried his best to say these words, still had a slight expectant smile on his face, he didn't even expect to finish these words in their entirety, his chest heaving violently.

The moment he saw Loren's good-natured smile, he thought he had succeeded—until the tip of the sword slashed at his neck, and something warm seemed to flow out......

"Ahhhh!!!!h

Panicking, thinking he was going to die, Draco screamed as hard as he could, until the blade pressed against his throat again, and Loren's grim gaze stopped him.

"Don't try to be clever, Priest Draco. Loren curled the corners of his mouth: "That will only make you die faster." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, when you get to church, you will hand me over the so-called 'evidence' and tell him in front of the priest that I am the real culprit behind everything, the evil wizard who killed his nephew, so that you will not only get rid of the suspicion but also find the scapegoat, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Draco's expression was as if he had lost his soul.

"So I'm going to ask your accomplices to send those things over now. Loren threatened, "I'm not going to give you much time, so you'd better expect him to hurry!"

"Accomplice, I don't have an accomplice!" Draco innocently shouted, "How could I possibly have any accomplices?!"

"Think about it before you say it, you've already lied to me once. Loren's eyes narrowed: "Or do you want to go to hell more than live?" ”

"Holy Cross above, I really don't have any damned accomplices - it's hard enough to live alone in a place like this, how can I find another one?!" The terrified Draco cried hysterically, "Do you know how hard it is for a wizard to hide himself?!"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true!"

"Since you don't have an accomplice, and your lab has been destroyed by your own hands, you can't put it anywhere that is unsafe or will be found......" Loren seemed to say to himself, his dark eyes falling on Draco's face, "So, I guess you should have it with you, right?"

Draco's face was so dead that he forgot he had a blade around his neck. He watched as Loren's left hand rummaged through him, and he took the two sealed parchment manuscripts from his pocket.

That's all I have, my heart's work, and my soul - without them, I don't know if I'm a real alchemist!

"But, can you let me go?" Draco's throat snapped desperately at the words.

Loren's eyes flashed with hesitation, but quickly disappeared without a trace: "I'm sorry, but this is not enough for you to buy your life. ”

"...... you?!" Draco's eyes widened.

"I'll tell you the truth, I didn't intend to let you go in the first place. Loren said expressionlessly: "Because I hate accidents, unexpected situations and uncontrollable changes. As long as you're alive, I can't believe you're absolutely safe - after all, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, and there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. ”

"So, thank you for your dying gift, and I apologize to you, it was obviously wrong to judge your work in that way - your research is excellent, and I will cherish it very much, and give it to my trusting alchemist to carry on your legacy. ”

"Although you are usually a priest of the church, I hope that you can at least die proudly as a wizard before you die. In this era of discrimination against wizards, keep the last dignity of being a wizard. ”

"So...... Bye. ”

The sharp blade slashed through Draco's neck, and the wizard's body twitched twice, his chest jerked up, and he slowly lay flat, not breathing again.

Panting, Loren supported his body and stood up a little reluctantly - the load of the high-level spell of "Beyond Perception" was quite serious, if it weren't for his physical fitness being good enough, I am afraid that he would have fainted directly.

According to my own estimates, if the body is at its peak, it can be used about twice a day, and I am afraid that it will lose its strength directly. Considering that I am still young, there is still room for improvement in the future. But no matter how much you improve, there is a limit to how much you can improve your body, and it can only be three times at most.

The greatest limitation of the mortal human being is the human being himself, the mind and imagination are subject to reality, and the body is also subject to the limits, and can never be truly perfect.

The main reason why it took so long was because Loren wanted to make sure that Draco had no accomplices, and that everything else was secondary - he couldn't have let him go in the first place. So as long as you are sure that the other party is just alone, then there is nothing to worry about.

Not only was he worried that the other party would be plotting revenge, but the other reason was also because in Loren's hands, there was no conclusive evidence from beginning to end, and the only real witnesses were himself and Draco - compared to himself, a wizard apprentice, I am afraid that Father Anthony would trust Draco, a priest of the church.

Therefore, it is necessary to kill him, only in this way can everything become the truth that only he knows, and let the facts be in his own hands, rather than being manipulated by others at will.

"So now...... It's time to make up a decent nonsense to fool Father Anthony. Loren muttered to himself, looking down at the motionless corpse at his feet.

"What do you think I should say, Your Excellency?"
