"What are you going to do about 'that'?" Kildas asked cautiously, his eyes not falling on Renault from beginning to end.

"Don't be so nervous, this magic circle should not have the effect of real-time monitoring, at most, it can only judge my psychology according to the frequency of my heartbeat, as for triggering, it should be impossible." Renault said in a relaxed tone, "Although magic is a mysterious power, if you can completely control another person with just one magic circle, the person who has this secret art should die in front of the person controlled by him." ”

"As for this," he patted his chest, "leave it alone for now, according to the old man's thoughts and my inference, even the Council would not dare to kill a magician in the official Wizard Guild just like that." This circle is more apt than a means of control, it is a constant reminder that the person being cast is not in their own hands, but on the other hand, the person who will use this method is not very confident in their own ability to control. ”

Renault's eyes burned, and he even spoke mockingly.

"So the targets they chose were all newcomers, those who didn't have time to feel any sense of belonging to the guild, and the tasks they arranged were just simple intelligence gathering. Because the bigger the person, the more worried, and this is also the key to our countermeasures. ”

Kildas turned his head and looked at Renault deeply for a long time before he asked a very sensitive question like a daily chat: "Speaking of which, why did you choose our side?" Even if you take such a big risk, in fact, according to the conditions you just mentioned, it should be more beneficial for you to follow the arrangement of the 'big man'. ”

Renaud also smiled, raised his head and stared directly at Kildas, his gaze clear: "Yes, but I don't like to be controlled by stupid guys, and the atmosphere here makes me feel more comfortable in comparison." At least, there are quite a few interesting people. ”

Then his tone changed again: "Besides, the so-called 'big man' doesn't have a good brain, his methods are not clever, his actions are not ruthless enough, and the pattern is not big enough, although he tries to bring himself into the template of the villain boss, but in the end he is just a clown." Smart people follow stupidity, and under normal circumstances, nothing will end well. Anyway, you have to be an anti-bone boy, of course, you have to pick a reliable boss. ”

Kildas was silent, and after a while he said faintly, "Do you all like to talk like that when you have been mercenaries?" ”

"yes." Renaud shrugged his shoulders and said in a more relaxed tone, "Sure enough, even with this magic circle, they can't listen to my conversation, otherwise they would have to burst my heart just now, I don't believe that this kind of idiot will have much self-cultivation." ”

Kildas's cheeks twitched: "You just said those words to confirm this?" ”

"Part of it, by the way, I will prove to you that I still have the ability to protect myself for the time being, so please don't show any special concern to the old man, this can be regarded as a favor for me." Renault crooked the corners of his mouth, smiling wickedly for the first time.

"Although my masters have different philosophies, they have all taught me the same truth. In life, there is a kindness that must be repaid, and a promise must be fulfilled, but there is a hatred, and it cannot be repaid. ”

He carefully felt the rhythmic beating of his heart, and his tone was indifferent: "I was forced to stir into this troubled water, they treat me as a pawn, but they may forget that the pawn has reached the bottom, but it will rise to the bottom." ”

"What are you talking about?" Kildas asked, confused.

"Oh, uncle, don't you usually play chess? Really, life is so boring, no wonder it's not popular. Renault rolled his eyes and complained.

Kildas also rolled his eyes back, sighed and said, "The young people nowadays are really amazing, forget it, it's good that you know it in your heart, but I want to remind you of one thing, this is also what President Makarov meant." ”

His expression suddenly became extremely serious, and his tone became a little heavier.

"In any case, put your own life first, life is not a game, once you lose it, you can't get it back, although our guild is not very big, but it can still protect every member, so no matter what kind of plan you kid has, remember, protect yourself."

Renaud didn't speak, just nodded solemnly, and Kildas didn't say more, walked towards the center of the party, took two steps, and suddenly turned around: "Speaking of which, I appreciate you kid more and more now, although I haven't known you for a few days, by the way, I don't seem to have officially greeted you yet, boy, welcome to [Fairy Tail]." ”

After speaking, he turned his head directly, his crimson hair was floating in the wind, and the black big hair was also fluttering in the wind, making his back solid and heavy.

Renault shook his head lightly and sighed lightly: "How can I be like Master Qiao, are old people so nagging, in your eyes, am I a person who loves to work hard." ”

After a while of the wind, he slowly blended into the enthusiastic crowd under the call of others.

The greatest magic of Fairy Tail is the optimism that can infect anyone, no matter whether there is a storm or a downpour of rain ahead, as long as they are close to each other, they are not afraid of any danger.

Holding a glass of ale and looking at the flushed partners around him, Renault felt a trance, Natsu and Gray were wrestling their wrists, Alufman was beside him and didn't know whether to cheer or coax, Lishana stood next to him, looking at Natsu's bruised forehead worriedly, and Mira sneered at Elsa, but the fairy queen still had a cold expression. Kildas held his glass and looked at the noisy crowd with a smile on his face.

Their figures gradually coincided with some shadows in their minds......

"Tsk, this wine is really pure." Renault shook his head, and he felt his cheeks heat a little.

"Yo, what's wrong with the smart brain." A figure flashed, and Doranbart appeared beside him. "Look at your expression, are you homesick?"

"Home?" Renault didn't react for a moment.

"Don't be shy, what's this, magicians are also people, everyone will have such a place in their hearts, a place of attachment, there is a source of our strength, and it is also the softest place in our hearts, there, it is called hometown."

He took a sip of wine and went on like a poet: "Although I haven't had much contact with you, there is always a strange feeling that you never seem to belong, this feeling is very ethereal, and I am not sure, but you make me feel like a rootless duckweed, like a traveler facing everything you encounter." ”

Probably due to the effect of alcohol, what he said was a little inverted and the meaning was a little hazy, but Renault still wanted to continue listening.

"During this time, I suspect that you are actually a machine, whether it is thinking about problems or making actions, you maintain a high degree of rationality, I guess Kildas just told you some strange things, he must have seen it, you are so bold that people are afraid of many times, and in the bottom of your heart, you are eager to sacrifice."

The last sentence was even more incomprehensible, but Renault did not refute it, but said something seemingly unrelated: "If I had been seen through by you so easily, you would not have lost to me so many times on the chessboard." ”

But Doran Bart did not change the topic, but put his arm around Renault's shoulder, leaned on his ear, and said with a big tongue: "Life is not a chess game, everyone has a past, but the past does not necessarily affect the future." It's a good thing to have concerns, you listen, sensibility and reason are not the dividing line between the fool and the wise, let alone the difference between the weak and the strong, this is what the old man asked me to tell you. ”

With that, he squeezed Renault's shoulder twice, and then staggered off into the distance, but although he faltered, he never lost his balance and bumped into anything.

It wasn't until he walked away that Renault lowered his head and looked at his wine glass, in which his face was reflected, and he stared at it for a long time before sighing:

"Thanks, really."
