"Arthur, we may be friends in the future, but please forgive me for not being able to promise you."

Erin finally mustered up the courage to refuse.

Hearing this, Arthur raised his eyebrows slightly and shrugged his shoulders regretfully.

He looked at Raymond, although this guy was well hidden, but the killing intent just now was definitely not fake.

Arthur always felt that Raymond and himself were the same kind of people, and there was forbearance and cruelty hidden under the calm exterior. And say that he is a waste who cannot awaken the transcendental? At this moment, he felt that he was really stupid if he still had such thoughts.

If it weren't for the potions battle before, maybe he didn't know enough about it, but now... He was 100% sure that this Raymond would not agree to a duel, definitely not because of timidity!

I'm not a dirty vampire, so how could I be so disgusted?

......

"Oh, that's a shame. Probably because my behavior was so reckless, it bothered you so much. ”

Arthur abruptly shifted his strategy to retreat into advance.

"In three days' trial, I will use the first place in the trial to make everyone recognize that I Arthur Herknando Orm is the only one worthy of Miss Irene."

His words were sonorous and with a bit of unquestionable momentum, "At that time, I will mention this matter to Lord Philip as the first heir of the Aum Lord. ”

These words are full of arrogance and confidence!

When Arthur mentioned the full surname when he said this, he naturally tied the entire Aum family together. As the first heir to the Aum family, Archduke Philip wants to refuse, and he has to consider the interests of Philip's territory. On a formal occasion, once you open your mouth, every word can affect the face and interests of the two ancient Black Sea families!

Arthur's words seem to have given an ultimatum,

He didn't plan to stay longer,

"Miss Irene, see you in three days' time!"

As he was leaving, he glanced defiantly at Raymond.

A meaningful smile was revealed.

......

"This Arthur is too blind, isn't he? How confident that he can get the first place in the trial, is it true that our students in Philip are all vegetarians? ”

"Not really, arrogant fellow!"

“...”

The people of Phillip Academy were indignant when they heard this.

They looked at Raymond again, their eyes full of unkindness, and they were angry.

The crowd dispersed.

......

After a moment of uproar, only Raymond, Erin and Judy remained.

Judy looked at Raymond, who had been silent, but was a little anxious for him.

At this time, shouldn't you take a stand?

Erin is so good to you, you can bear to let her marry someone else?

Even if you're not extraordinary, you don't even have the courage to stand up and speak out?

If it had been before, Judy would have been unable to help but scold Raymond like others, but at this moment, she didn't know why, looking at his calm expression as always, there was something indescribable... Doubt.

"Don't be so sad..."

Raymond looked at Irene's little face full of grievances, and couldn't help but rub her head again.

The more this is the case, the more Erin feels that the grievances in her heart are about to gush out, and the sparkles in her eyes are surging, like a bullied little girl.

Raymond turned to leave.

But after all, he couldn't bear to look at the pretty face that was about to rain with pear blossoms, and muttered, "I won't let that guy get the first." ”

It's like some kind of promise.

"Huh?" Hearing these familiar words, Erin felt like her body was slightly electrocuted, and trembled slightly.

That feeling is back!

I think when I was in the Vulture Pirates.

He said he would come back to save me, and he would definitely come back!

Erin was inexplicably happy, but the glittering waves in her crystal eyes were even more abundant, and her pretty face was slightly red.

I knew it... He still cares after all.

......

The moonlight poured down on Philip's collar, reflecting the pale blue icy steel castle.

Raymond sat on the battlements of the castle, blowing the sea breeze and staring at the brilliant starry sky.

It was a cloister corner of Philips' Castle that no one would pass by, and he enjoyed the silence.

The crystal gem the size of a dragon's eye rubbed in his hand was always bursting out with a cool breath, making him more and more energetic.

Raymond suddenly realized.

The real world is actually no different from the game, and high risk means high reward. If he didn't stand up today, he might have missed out on this "Weaver Gem", and at the same time lost the biggest opportunity to become a top potions master.

He muttered, "It seems that we have to find time to go to the Tianlan Royal Capital and sort out the follow-up quest of this 'Weaver Gem'." If I can successfully get the "Potions Secret Book", it will not be in vain for me to risk the limelight today..."

"Yo..."

At that moment, Raymond's thoughts were interrupted by the sudden sound of footsteps.

"Our brightest star tonight, why is it that he is sullen here alone? Is it because that Arthur's kid just proposed to Erin, and you're not happy? ”

When Raymond heard this voice, he knew that it was Anna, and she would tease herself in this tone.

He smiled and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"I saw that Erin left with tears in her eyes just now, and she looked like she had been wronged a lot."

Anna pretended to have a complaining expression and said in a somewhat mocking tone, "Why didn't you agree to a duel with that guy?" ”

"I really don't have much interest in dueling..."

Raymond pursed his lips and paused for a moment.

As if he thought of something, the anger in his eyes instantly subsided, and he smiled again: "This kind of guy who hides a knife in his laughter, if I don't kill him, I will always feel uneasy." ”

"Yo he~"

Anna was stunned, she didn't expect him to respond so directly, and laughed: "You are really domineering, people just propose to Erin, and you are going to kill him?" ”

Raymond didn't explain much, "That guy named Arthur is different. ”

"Different?"

Anna felt that Raymond's evasion of the battle was a little weak, and she couldn't guess his thoughts, so she came to ask.

Hearing his faintly domineering words just now, she was stunned for a moment, and her beautiful eyes were full of brilliance.

She didn't delve into the question, but blinked and asked, "If someone proposes to me in the future, will you kill him too?" ”

Raymond said without hesitation, "No." ”

Anna snorted, with a playful face, and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, hey... With the non-discriminatory treatment so obvious? Why don't you invite me to be your navigator in the future? If I get kidnapped, aren't you worried? ”

Raymond shrugged noncommittally and explained, "Arthur's guy is different, he's dangerous. ”

Anna blinked, as if she had guessed something.

She doesn't think that Raymond's temperament is the kind of person who has no purpose, there must be something else hidden in this.

"Oh? Looks like you've already figured out what to do? ”

"What's the response... In this situation, even if I ignore him, that guy will come to the door. ”

Raymond said helplessly, "So, I have no choice... Kill him. ”

"Giggle..."

Anna covered her mouth and chuckled, a hint of cunning flashed in her beautiful eyes, "Actually... There's nothing wrong with being domineering, so that some girls like it. ”

Raymond rolled his eyes: "..."

Anna didn't dwell on the topic, but said, "Let's go, I'll take you somewhere." ”

"Where?"

"Black Market Auctions."

"Where are you going?"

"Haven't you awakened the [Magician]? Tonight's auction has something you're interested in. ”

"What's that?"

"The swordsmanship codex of the first sword of the Black Sea, Haute Sodros!"
