Chapter 17: The Ending and the Assassin Attack?
Miss Peg is a dark magician and a student of the First School of Magic in Puon.
But few people know that before she became a magician, this very beautiful and seductive girl was a thief controlled by a medium-sized gang in the lower city.
Twenty years ago, at the age of 7, Peg was sold to the gang by his parents. Peg was trained to be a thief by the old thief along with a group of children. Due to his very flexible fingers and outstanding stealing ability, Peg is even one of the best gold fingers under the control of the gang.
By chance, Peg accidentally came into contact with magic, and when she discovered that she had a high talent for magic, she managed to break free from the control of the gang and became a student of the First School of Magic in Puang.
During this period, several businessmen wanted to 'finance' her, but Peg was not an ignorant girl, but instead worked in the gang for five or six years, and although she was young, she knew the sinister heart better than many adults.
Although she was only eleven years old when she first entered the First School of Magic in Puang, she had already seen many magicians who had been sponsored by them and were more or less subject to these sponsors. The group of merchants, in terms of greed, is not inferior to the gangsters, if it is an ordinary civilian has no way, it is also a way to be funded by merchants, due to the particularity of the group of magicians themselves, although these funded merchants will ask for more, but it is impossible to go too far.
But Peg had no interest in being exploited by these merchants, and she was neither willing to accept the merchants' financial support nor despised a work-study program at the college. Instead, they engage in some side hustles, the so-called side hustles, that is, stealing and extortion.
Dark magic itself is known for its strange methods, and all kinds of curse and control types of magic, such as sleeping spells and stealth spells, are also very suitable for stealing, kidnapping, blackmail, etc.
But stealing in the academy is not a particularly good way to make money, the academy's management of internal security is far stricter than that of places such as the imperial capital, and those low-level magicians who can easily confuse and control Peg often don't have much money. And the senior students have more or less some money, but none of them are easy to deal with.
Every time he steals, Peg often has to spend a long time to choose a target, be prepared, step on the spot first, and then dare to steal, so the benefits are actually not high.
Like Wright's time, he was negligent, he didn't step on the point and didn't understand Wright's strength, so he was caught directly.
And when he was blackmailed by Wright, Peg compensated 10,000 gold coins, which can be said to have directly lost one-third of his 'income' after entering the Puang First Academy of Magic.
In this case, Peg came up with the idea of being a 'good sister'.
Cecilia and Peg met in the imperial capital. Although Peg has always claimed to be an ordinary student of the Warrior Academy, a sixth-level warrior. But with the eyesight of Peg as an old thief, he naturally saw that Peg's conversation was extraordinary to the wearing items, and he originally just wanted to recognize a rich sister, and he could save some money by playing gold coins in the imperial capital in the future.
After being planted in Wright's hands this time, he tried to find a way to get a sum of money out of his 'sister'.
The next thing that happens is that Peg contacts a small businessman and directs and acts in a play in the hope of getting some money out of Cecilia's hands.
However, Peg underestimated both Cecilia's background and Cecilia's strength. Although the body of the Dragon-Blood Warrior is slightly weaker than that of the undead Warrior, its senses are far more sensitive than that of ordinary Warriors. Peg knew where it was, across the street, Cecilia's keen hearing heard her conversation with Sandy, and it was immediately revealed.
Of course, even if she succeeded in defrauding 100,000 gold coins, once the Baruch family intervened in this matter, she would definitely be investigated.
"That's how it happened." Wright spread out his hands and said to Carl, Burke, and Ness, who were gossipy--- and the little couple in the back usually stuck together like conjoined babies in addition to attending classes and practicing.
Carl and the other three listened a little unsatisfied, especially Burke, who was born in the prairie and had a 'simple' nature, he really hadn't seen this kind of thing, and Niss, who had been raised by the rich since she was a child, also had wide eyes, and she had never seen this kind of scheming.
And Carl and Wright glanced at each other helplessly, when Maui was there before, he had the feeling of taking a little brother in the dormitory. Although Burke is older than Wright, his personality is too simple, and Maui is the youngest in terms of both real age and mental age. Maui returned to her hometown and got engaged, but Burke's girlfriend Niss has a similar personality to Maui, and it seems that because of the cultivation and protection of her family, she is too innocent and kind.
This couple is just innocent and kind, both of them, which is really a headache for Carl, who regards himself as an elder brother, and just took this opportunity to give Burke and Ness a good education, so that this couple knows that people outside are sinister.
As for Wright, after comforting Cecilia for a long time, he sent Cecilia, whose eyes were still red, back to the Baruch Mansion. As for how angry the Baruch family will be and what will happen to Peg and Sandy, Wright didn't bother to ask, but he probably wouldn't let it go.
This was like an episode in Wright's life, and soon Wright's life returned to its usual state. Spending four hours a day forging to polish himself, he never missed the earth-based courses in the academy, insisted on meditation and vindictive practice, patted and fed Xiaopeng Eagle Little Elik, and occasionally went to the teacher to sit and listen to the teacher lecture on his perception of fire magic.
If there is any difference, it is that after this incident, the relationship between Wright and Cecilia has suddenly become better. Occasionally, Cecilia would take Wright to play with her, and Wright would rarely refuse. Wright himself was a little unclear about his relationship with Cecilia. Lover? I don't feel full! It seems to be more than a friend.
Of course, neither Wright nor Cecilia said anything, after all, one of them is determined to become a dual sanctuary of magicians and warriors, and there is still a great chance, and the other is even more as long as he does not die young, he will inevitably become the pinnacle of the sanctuary and enjoy a long life.
There's still a lot of time for them.
Half a year has passed, Wright's life is still so peaceful, the only trouble is that little Elek's body is getting bigger and bigger, and now it is about a meter long, and it can already release a breath equivalent to second- or third-level magic, which can be regarded as a fourth-level magical beast!
Although Wright also hopes that little Elek will grow up early and become his help, as Xiao Peng Eagle grows up, the amount of food also increases day by day, making Wright a little worried about his gold coins.
On this day, Wright finished his course and returned from the academy to his compound in the imperial capital. Along the way, communicate with the soul of little Elek hiding in her sleeve.
Although today's little Elek has not yet fully mastered the language and can communicate smoothly with Wright, she is like a babbling child, and will say a few words, "Master, I am hungry!" "Hug!" "What do you eat at night?" Short words like that.
The moment Wright entered his compound.
Suddenly---- a strange magic fluctuation came, Wright's face changed, his feet tapped, and he held the Xiaopeng eagle and moved a meter sideways. A puddle of black liquid came out of the place under his feet before.
The black liquid of "Zizi" quickly corroded the ground, and after a while, the liquid disappeared, and a pit half a meter deep appeared in the courtyard.
Wright frowned, this magic was very similar to the dark 'Devouring Swamp', but the fluctuations of the elements were definitely not the feeling of dark magic.
His eyes scanned the courtyard, as if pretending to be calm, and said, "Don't hide, come out!" ”
There was no movement in the courtyard.
As if enraged, Wright chanted a spell, and an orange-red fireball the size of a fist was suspended beside him: "If you don't come out again, I'll move... ”
A strange wave of magic came, and a white spear-like magic shot straight at Wright.
Wright turned sideways and dodged the spear's attack by a fraction of a second. At the same time, the fireball in Wright's hand slammed into a room.
The spear silently sank into the ground, and out of the corner of Wright's eye, he caught a glimpse of the spear as if it were made of bones. And the right arm, which was closest to the bone spear, had a feeling of discomfort coming from it.
"Boom!" The moment Wright's fireball left his hand, the orange-red color used to control the camouflage faded, turning into a pure cyan fireball that exploded violently and enveloped the room. In the midst of the flames, Wright could clearly perceive that there were three figures that were incompatible with the fire element.
