Chapter 13: Catherine's Request
Dorag looked at Catherine, and of course he could see that Catherine was deliberately speaking loudly, and even faking her surprised expression.
However, because Catherine's strength is so low, Dorag is not even interested in exposing her.
After a symbolic meal, Dorag and the others left the restaurant.
Catherine followed them all the time.
As Dorag continued to walk, Carrie stopped, stopped Catherine, and asked, "Why are you following us?"
"I... I admire strong men like you very much, please take me with you, I can suffer anything, even if it is a cow or a horse!" Catherine bowed deeply to Carrie.
"No, you can go. Carrie simply refused.
Carrie turned to leave, Catherine still wanted to follow, Carrie put her fingers together and waved her backhand, her fingers were already close to Catherine's throat, her nails pierced into her tender skin, and a drop of bright red blood slowly flowed.
"Get out of here!" Carrie looked at her in disgust.
Catherine swallowed, the tingling sensation in her neck telling her that she couldn't move forward.
"She really wanted to kill me!"
Catherine had doubts but more fear in her mind, and in the split second she had brushed shoulders with death, and she had no doubt that if she took one step further now, she would become a corpse.
Catherine had used the same method on several other gem-level exorcists, but the other gem-level powerhouses had at most ignored her, and no one had ever treated her like this...... Disgusted.
Carrie withdrew her hand, and the figure disappeared in place.
Catherine collapsed to the ground, fear instantly overwhelmed her body and mind, and tears unconsciously left tears in the corners of her eyes.
In a bell tower in the kingdom of Conistan, five men in black robes looked at a large crystal ball suspended in front of them, showing Catherine's dejected figure and what had just happened in the street.
"Catherine has failed, and there is something wrong with this man named Adrian. ”
"Don't jump to conclusions, maybe he's just unsociable. ”
"Catherine hasn't offered to end the mission, and her mission isn't a failure. ”
"I just saw that Ardrion seemed to be glancing in our direction, did he notice that we were spying on him?"
"No way. The old voice immediately vetoed: "This crystal magic ball is covered with sixth-order magic, how could he be a little guy who could find out." ”
"Well, maybe I read it wrong. ”
"In that case, let's wait and see, and hopefully Catherine won't let us down. ”
......
Dorag, who had returned to his lodgings, lay on his bed.
Carrie stood aside: "Lord Dorag, my subordinates have something to report. ”
"Do you want to talk about Catherine?"
"Yes, my lord, this human must have other purposes in trying to get close to you. Carrie said.
Dorag said, "Of course I know she has another purpose, remember when I told you that someone would test us?"
Carrie was surprised and asked, "Is that her?"
"Hmm"
"Then why don't you kill her? Subordinates can make her disappear from this world silently. Carrie asked.
Dorag shook his head slightly: "It's easy to kill her, but after killing her, there will definitely be others who will test her again, and doing so will only make those people pay more attention to us." ”
"Shouldn't you have chased her away just now?" asked Carrie.
"Of course she has to rush, but she can't drive away, and she will definitely come to me again tomorrow, and you can leave her behind when the time comes. ”
"Yes. ”
The next day.
Catherine did appear in front of them, and Carrie saw Catherine's figure and sighed, "Lord Dorag's abyssal wisdom is indeed not something we can guess. ”
"How did you find here?" asked Carrie as she walked up to her.
"Miss Carrie, what a coincidence, you're also in this guild, I'm also working in this guild, and I'm planning to receive the quest now, if you're here, Mr. Adrien must be here too, please tell Dorag again, I really want to join you." ”
Naturally, Carrie didn't believe what Catherine said.
Still, at Dorag's order yesterday, Carrie asked, "What will you do? ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Catherine's eyes: "I...... I'm only silver, but I'm gifted with magic. ”
Carrie was originally asking casually to give Catherine a reason to stay, but she didn't expect this human to have a rare talent for magic.
In this world where magic is prevalent, as long as people with magic power, no matter how much, can learn magic, but there is an extremely rare magic that cannot be learned no matter how you learn it, that is, talent magic, talent magic is magic that has been possessed since birth, and each talent magic has its uniqueness.
The status of a person who is gifted with magic is equivalent to that of a fifth-order magician.
"Do you know what happens if you cheat on an adult?" Kari stared at her.
"I... I'm really gifted with magic. Tears were rolling in Catherine's eyes, she was really scared of Carrie.
"Come with me. ”
Catherine followed Carrie up to the second floor.
"My lord, Catherine is here. Carrie led Catherine into the house, then walked over to Dorag and whispered about Catherine.
Catherine looked at Dorag, who was leaning on the bed and reading, and couldn't stop worrying.
It's really strange, he is obviously the most powerful person in the Kingdom of Conigsetan, even those gem-level powerhouses have to salute when they see him, but when facing this young boy, the fear instinctively grows in his heart.
This young man is so young, how can he have such a strong coercion?
"Show me your natural magic. Dorag said as he flipped through the book.
He didn't seem surprised to see him, could he have seen someone else who could use natural magic.
Of course, he had seen that his six generals all possessed innate magic, and he himself possessed innate magic, but he wouldn't tell Catherine these words.
Questioning, Catherine began to cast her natural magic, and the pink magic circle swirled under her feet, and even the air around her turned pink.
This is Catherine's gifted magic 'Charm'.
As soon as Catherine's magic was unleashed, her whole temperament became charming and colorful, and Carrie's disgust for Catherine at this time also inexplicably decreased a lot.
But just as Catherine was triumphantly casting her natural magic, a cold voice came: "That's it?"
Dorag stared at her, the look of disappointment on his face indicating that he was not affected in the slightest by Catherine's natural magic.
Catherine was also stunned, how could it be?
How could it not have any effect at all? My innate magic can even affect a level 50 gem-level exorcist.
Could it be that he ...... His strength has already exceeded level fifty, impossible, how old is he? And the maid beside him didn't seem to react, who the hell were they?
The magic array at Catherine's feet faded away, and the whole person was immersed in shock.
"It's useless, but it's better than nothing. Dorag said lightly.
Kari understood Dorag's gesture and said, "You can follow us." ”
Catherine was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly, "Really...... Really? Thank you. ”
"I'm finally close to them, and it's time to find out who they really are, and how can they have such strength?" Catherine thought to herself.
Dorag got out of bed and walked over to Catherine's side: "Let's go, go and see what tasks can be performed." ”
"Yes. ”
"Yes. ”
Carrie and Catherine replied at the same time.
Dorag went to the counter on the first floor and knocked on the table: "I'll pick the task." ”
The receptionist at the counter saw that it was Dorag, and hurriedly said enthusiastically, "Mr. Adrian, congratulations on your promotion to a gem-level exorcist. ”
"Well, thank you. ”
"Sorry, though, there aren't any gem-level quests in the guild yet. ”
"Gold-level ones are fine. ”
"Okay, please wait a minute. ”
After a while, the receptionist came over with a task list.
Dorag took the list and looked at the contents.
The main content is to ask for a magic book called Phantom Night, located in the Quran Castle, and the reward is twenty gold coins.
"Mr. Adrian, I suggest you don't take this mission, it is rumored that there are evil spirits in the Quran Castle, it is an ominous place, and a team that went to before has not yet returned. ”
"Which squad did you go to?" asked Dorag.
"It's the Falcon's Eyes. ”
Hmmm, it's them!
After hearing the name, Dorag's mind conjured up the faces of several people.
I haven't seen them for a few days, so it's been a mission.
"That's it. ”
The receptionist's eyes were full of adoration.
He is really worthy of being a gem-level powerhouse, daring to challenge danger, if it is him, he will definitely be able to successfully complete the task.
"Yes sir, here's the list. The receptionist handed the order to Dorag.
Dorag took it and turned to leave.
Carrie and Catherine followed him, one left and one right.
Dorag, Carrie, and Catherine arrive at Qulen Castle, and of course they use the same teleportation magic as before. Although this was nothing to Dorag and Carrie, Catherine, who came with her, was once again shocked.
Short-distance teleportation also requires at least a third-order magic array, and such a long distance from the guild here can be teleported in an instant, which... This requires several levels of magic array.
I really didn't expect that Adrien turned out to be a high-level magician.
Dorag walked near the castle, it was daytime, but the sky above the castle was covered with dark clouds, and occasionally a few lightning bolts shuttled through the clouds.
Chirping~~
The castle gate opened automatically, but no figure was found.
The three Dorags walked in, and the door closed automatically.
The castle was pitch black, and you couldn't see your fingers.
Suddenly.
Flames lit on the torches on both sides of the castle, illuminating the hall.
"Who are you, and why did you come to my castle?" a hoarse voice echoed through the castle.
Seeing that neither Dorag nor Carrie wanted to speak, Catherine stepped forward and said, "We have no intention of disturbing you, we are the exorcists of the guild, and we are here to carry out the mission, and after the mission is completed, we promise to leave immediately." ”
"What are you here for?" asked the hoarse voice.
"We were tasked with coming here to get a magic book, I don't know if you've seen it?" Catherine spoke in a polite tone, the atmosphere here was so weird that she really didn't want to fight here.
"No, let's go. ”
The door behind her opened automatically, it was an eviction order, Catherine didn't know what to do, she turned her head to look at Dorag.
"Old woman, where are the Shadowhunters?" asked Dorag in a cold voice.
"Falcon's Eyes, haven't heard of it, get out of here or stay forever. There was a threat in his hoarse voice.
Catherine was apprehensive and said, "I'm sorry, we didn't mean to disturb your life, we just wanted to come to our friends, please tell us their whereabouts, once we find them, we will leave immediately, and never come back." ”
"Hmph, I gave you a chance. ”
As soon as the hoarse voice fell, several pale zombies suddenly appeared in the darkness, making strange noises from the zombies' mouths, and at the same time rushed towards Dorag and the others like crazy.
