The rich, creamy flavour of wheat mixed with freshly baked bread and a hint of burnt lamb chops all converge into a mouth-watering flavor that wafts on the tip of the nose.

Enjoying the food carefully prepared for himself by the little wizard, the black-haired wizard who was finally relieved was very lazy and flicked his spoon, enjoying a moment of peace.

Although he relied on various methods to avoid the possibility of being perceived by the evil gods, he also buried the extremely unstable factor of "Fanecism".

The fall of the Dragon King City was the beginning of his and his mortal enemies.

For the power of the "Valve", for his ambitions, as long as he is alive, Farnessc and the "Black Cross" Serol behind him will follow.

The only reason the black-haired wizard could think of that the other party would not kill him directly was the reason why he wanted to get two "valves" at once.

According to the grave keeper, the "valve" in the true sense and the "valve" of the wizard itself are two completely different concepts.

In the era of the Dragon Kingdom (though he prefers to call it the 'Age of the Dragon King's Tower'), the ability to open one's own valve was seen as one could be considered to be a "wizard", and only by crossing the "boundary between matter and void" could one truly become a wizard recognized by all.

If it were by this standard, ninety-nine percent of the wizards in the entire Sakran Empire would be "unqualified......

The Nine-Pointed Star Holy Grail is a "door" that can open the gap between the two worlds......

For Farnescism, who wanted to completely fulfill his ambitions, and even "replace" the Holy Cross, this was the strength he had to get.

"It's nice to have someone who cares. ”

The extremely lazy tone also had a bit of a joking meaning, making Loren look slightly sideways at a teenager who was also looking at him, who was lying on the bed dangling his calves, his face reflected in his scarlet eyes.

Ariel, dressed in a purple fringed dress, sat on one side, quietly looking at the black-haired wizard with "affectionate", which made Loren's back chill for a while.

At the same time, there are two evil gods, and they are targeted by the other... Should I say that I was "lucky" or that my life was too hard......

"Although I know that it is likely that I will ask in vain......" Gently putting down the spoon in his hand, Loren looked at this guy with a silent frown: "Don't you think we should continue the topic that we didn't finish before?"

"Uh... What topic, why doesn't Asriel know?" A hint of cunning flashed in the young man's eyes, and he deliberately pretended to be stupid and asked, "Did we say anything before?"

"Serol......" the corner of Loren's eyes twitched:

"About the 'Black Cross' Serol... How much do you know?"

"About this... Dear Loren, I have told you everything I know!"

Asrael spread his hands helplessly and sighed softly: "Although I understand, you will not believe poor Asrael, but, alas...... There's no way, there's no way around it. ”

"That's because you never told the truth!"

Ariel, who was always quiet, suddenly spoke: "It's because you're full of lies that Loren won't believe you!"

The corners of the young man's mouth kept twitching, his scarlet eyes rolled and rolled, and he spread his hands helplessly.

"But......" Ariel paused, looking at the dark-haired wizard with a puzzled face:

"Stupid Asrael did the right thing this time, at least... This time he didn't deliberately deceive Loren. ”

"Oh... Oh my God, what did I just hear?!" Turning his head suddenly, Asriel looked at the girl beside him with an incredulous expression, dumbfounded:

"Dear Miss Imposter, you just said you... Agree with me?"

With a soft snort, Ariel turned her head over and gave him a dismissive look: "People don't say that... But you can understand it this way. ”

Asriel was stunned, it was the first time Loren had seen him look like this.

Disdainful of ignoring some stupid fool, Ariel looked back at the black-haired wizard with a worried face: "Dear Loren, 'Black Cross' Serol... It's a terrible enemy, and Ariel wouldn't want you to know about it if she could. ”

"The reason why Asrael is reluctant to tell you is because of its power... It's very special. ”

"Asriel has already told me a few things about this. Loren bowed slightly, and said solemnly: "It's about time, right?"

At that moment, Loren was sure that the two evil gods in front of him looked at each other, and then the girl breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay... Fortunately, Loren only knows this, a blessing in misfortune. With a soft sigh, Ariel slowly raised her head: "It's great that Loren can understand it like this, it seems that Asrael has finally done the right thing." ”

"No amount of caution is too much in the face of the 'Black Cross', especially when it is almost destined to be its enemy. The boy glanced at her as a matter of course, but soon collapsed in frustration: "But if it's possible, I still don't want to run into that guy!"

"Wait, can you explain... What the hell are you talking about?"

"Dear Loren, I'm really sorry to tell you in this way. It was Asriel who spoke first, and shook his head with a flat mouth, with a helpless expression:

"In a way you can understand... Seliol's abilities are very special, and the more you know about it, the less likely it is to defeat it, so you just need to know that its abilities involve time, and the more you know, the more it will hurt you!"

"I'm very sorry, but... This is indeed the best way to go. Noticing the subtle change in the black-haired wizard's expression, Ariel stepped forward with an apologetic face:

"But I also hope that Loren can understand that the 'Black Cross' Serol is a very formidable enemy, even an enemy that is almost impossible to defeat, and Ariel just wants to keep Loren away from such a dangerous guy as much as possible......"

"The more you know, the more impossible it is to overcome......

Unconsciously talking to himself, Loren fell into deep thought.

"To be precise, even if you don't know anything, the chances of defeating Seliol are slim to none. The young man's delicate cheeks twitched slightly, as if he had fallen into some kind of fear:

"All we can do is hope that he, like us, is so weak that it is very difficult to maintain the dream world. ”

There was a dead silence for a moment, until there was a sharp knock at the door.

"Hmm... How's the food going, my wizard advisor?"

With a somewhat joking tone, His Royal Highness the Prince, who was smiling brighter than the sun, walked into the room uninvited, with his hands on his waist and looking like a matter of course.

Loren was alone in the empty room...... Plus the black-feathered eagle on the bedside, and a moonshadow cat that always stares at the black-feathered eagle "with bad intentions".

"Questions?" Loren raised an eyebrow, still holding a spoon full of soup in his hand.

"Nothing, just a casual walk around and a conversation about your 'pay'. Brandon, whose eyes flickered, sat down across from Loren, picked up a piece of bread and took a small bite.

A hint of alertness flashed in the corner of Loren's eyes, who was aware of the other party's expression... He definitely has something else.

But it's better not to say broken now... Wiping the corners of his mouth, the black-haired wizard looked at him calmly: "Please speak." ”

"That's how I arranged it... You and I will return to the imperial capital of Golovin first to get you the official title of 'advisor', and then I will find a way to find you an errand that can make meritorious contributions—I believe that with your ability, you will definitely impress those noble lords who are vegetarians!"

"You have a lot of faith in me. ”

"Don't underestimate yourself, you're my appointed wizard advisor. The corners of Brandon's mouth raised slightly: "When there is a reason, it will be a matter of minutes to get you a count." ”

"Although I shouldn't say that... But I very much doubt you have what it takes......"

"Please give me some confidence, Lorren. As soon as he slapped the table, Brandon, who was smiling brightly, turned away, and Loren, who did not look back, silently counted down in his heart:

Three, two, one......

"Oh, yes!" Brandon, who stopped at the doorway, suddenly turned his head and scratched his head as if remembering something:

"That's... Conod is back... Alive. ”

“......”

"If it's okay, can you come with me, I... I was a little scared. ”

"Hmm... Just a little, a little. ”
