In the blink of an eye, a ring of flames spawned around Arvis, three steps in diameter, connected together.

Xia Zuo also took a step back at the same time, still with Yalvis standing in the center, threatened by the entrenchment of the ring of fire.

The flame of the ring of fire has exceeded two-thirds of the height of a person's body, and it should be possible to cross it with physical enhancement magic, but Jarvis can't use any magic.

“... If you don't do what I say, the flames that eventually condense together will scorch you," Xia Zuo said coercively, "Do you hear that?" ”

“... Then you say the conditions! Jarvis, who was covered in a cold sweat, roared angrily, "You don't even say what should I do!?" ”

The ring of fire had already gathered and baked Alvis's clothes, but Xia Zuo still didn't say what the conditions were, and he looked indifferent.

"Did you hear that, I asked?"

"Huh? What are you waiting for!? Tell me the conditions! Jarves' panic in his roar rose sharply, "How could the great me be buried in such child's play magic!?" ”

"That's not the answer I wanted." Xia Zuo continued to say coldly.

"I agree! I'll do what you say! Hurry up and tell me the conditions! Please! Jarvis spoke quickly, the corners and cuffs of his coat already burning, burning his skin.

"That's right," Xia Zuo blinked again, and the flames surrounding the other party were eliminated, "This is the answer I want to hear, a direct answer." ”

"Whew... Phew..."Jarvis lay on the ground in shock, panting, he had never been threatened with magic or even any damage, because no one could beat him magically.

"Cross your hands and lay them flat on your chest." Xia Zuo said suddenly.

"What?"

"Don't answer me with doubts." The flame regenerates in Natsu's left palm.

Sensing the threat, Yálvis immediately stood up and, following the uncertain request he had just heard, crossed his arms and placed them on his chest.

"Is that the right thing to do?" Asked in a panic.

"That's right." Natsu raised his right palm and displayed the overlapping double droplet pattern in front of Jarvis's eyes.

The benefits of the body that do not metabolize, the palms of the hands never sweat, and the pattern drawn for the first time remains intact to this day.

“blo ed liq.”

Before Jarvis could identify the operation steps of the ancient magic, he heard Xia Zuo recite a spell.

The light flowing from the pattern carved a curse mark on Arvis's neck.

"Slave Curse Seal!?" Jarvis was surprised, not expecting the other party to enslave him, "You bastard, do you know what you did to me!?" ”

"Quiet," Xia Zuo ordered, "listen to my questions about you." ”

Jarvis's mouth could no longer move.

"Only in this situation can I guarantee that what you said is the truth," Xia Zuo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it, "You killed the swordsman Eren with sacrificial type magic, right?" ”

"Yes." Jarvis replied without extra words.

"What magic did you use to kill him? Although it is a type of sacrifice, it is different from the "sacrifice" I know. ”

"'Life ingestion,'" Jarvis said the name of the magic and explained the effect of the magic, "the person who is sacrificed by my life ingestion will bring me the vitality of life, and the degree of ingestion depends on his strength..."

Strength, probably refers to the level, Xia Zuo touched his chin, "Why are you doing this?" Is it very lacking in vitality? Xia Zuo didn't particularly understand what he meant by life vitality.

"I'm a Terran, I'm over sixty years old, and aging is a fatal wound for a Terran," Jarvis didn't want to admit this unbearable history, but he gritted his teeth and said, "So I'm looking for the strong, to take in their lives, so that they can live for me longer." ”

"It turned out to be life-sustaining magic..."Xia Zuo said in a little surprise, he had never heard of it, "Do you know the purpose of the swordsman Allen coming to Black Castle?" And why are you in Blackcastle? What is your relationship with Sangilf actually? ”

Xia Zuo asked three questions in a row, and even if Jarvis didn't remember what he asked, his subconscious would cause him to answer the question.

"When I first met him, I only told him that he had been asked by Sangilf to come to the basement of the castle to get the tin box, which I wanted to get, but he wouldn't reveal the secret words of my opening circle, so I killed him... He's a tricky swordsman and brings me a lot of life energy. ”

Xia Zuo clasped his hands and listened quietly.

"My purpose in Blackcastle, as I have just said, is to obtain the tin box in the basement," said Jarvis, "and I have nothing to do with Sangilf. ”

"Oh? What's in the tin box? Where is Sangilf at the moment? ”

"I don't know what it is, it's probably the magic I'm craving, it's probably some other treasure, in short, it's the most important item in Sangilf's life, and I won't refuse to open it with difficulty in order to become stronger." Jarvis replied scrupulously, "Sangilf is dead, that's why I won't be afraid of him and come here." ”

The news about the iron box made Xia Zuo interested, maybe there was a clue he was looking for. However, the news of Sangilf's death was quite unexpected.

"Take me to the basement you said."

As soon as Xia Zuo's order came out, Yalvis immediately turned around, and when Xia Zuo took a step, he would continue to move forward and keep his distance.

I finally broke the seal to the end, and in the end I had to give it to others? I am unwilling but I can't speak.

"Sangilf, how did he die?" Entering the castle and being led to the basement by Yalvis, Xia Zuo looked around and asked, the heavy gates of the black ashlar building structure with magic seals are very exquisite, and those gates have long been cracked and opened.

"I don't know... But I just knew he was dead..."

"How do you know?"

"Once I challenged Sangilf once... But at that time, I was too weak to be his opponent, so I used the special scroll I found to cast a mark magic on him, I don't know if he was aware of it, as long as he was in trouble, I would know," Jarvis blushed, not wanting to admit this disgraceful past, "I wanted to wait for him to grow old, or become seriously ill, and then deal with him, but I didn't expect the first time I received the feeling of the change in the mark, it was actually to learn of his death." ”

"So this castle has no owner...", and in the end, Xia Zuo and he stopped in the room at the end of the basement corridor, "and the swordsman Allen, who was commissioned by Sangilf's last words, came here to obtain this chest. ”

Xia Zuo looked at the mysterious iron box in the center of the circle, as well as the circle with an unknown pattern, how to crack it?

He'd been looking through the list of skills for cracking magic, but it didn't seem to be that easy to find.

"Recite to me all the magic spells you know, Jarvis." Xia Zuo commanded.
