Chapter Ninety-Five: The Threat of the Chief Disciple
Bell's Magic Tower.
Darys lowered his gaze and didn't make eye contact with his mentor, he shook his head, "No, Link is a good apprentice of magic, it's just too sudden. Mentor, I don't know how to describe this abrupt feeling, as if it was deliberately arranged. ”
"Deliberately? Arrangement? These two words made Bell's heart shake, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through his heart for a while.
'Has anyone discovered my secret?' But this young man was recommended by his old friend, Duke Abel, so there shouldn't be a big problem, right? Darris's senses have always been keen, and since he doesn't feel right, there must be something wrong. ‘
After being silent for a while, Bell spoke: "Since I have accepted this Link as a disciple, it is natural to have a detailed understanding of his past. Well, you can check it out for me and give me the results as soon as possible. ”
"Yes, Mentor." Darys immediately nodded, and after thinking about it, he asked again, "What if he has a problem, isn't it?" ”
Bell shook his head: "Tell me first, don't make a fool of yourself." ”
"I see." Darys lowered his head and hid his face in the shadows.
After that, Darys sent Bell to the top floor of the Magic Tower, and he turned away, and when he returned to the hall on the first floor, he immediately found Link.
"Let's go, I'll take you to a new room." Daris's attitude towards Link is very cold.
"Oh, okay." Link nodded, following behind Daris.
Under the envious gaze of the magic apprentices, the two walked up the spiral staircase to the second floor, and finally stopped in front of a door in the outermost room on the second floor.
When he got here, Daris didn't rush to open the door, he stood at the door, turned to look at Link, and said thoughtlessly: "Link, there are many secrets in the world, but not every one of them has to be investigated, especially those secrets that won't affect others, right?" ”
Link was shocked, but his face was impassive, he swallowed his saliva 'uneasily', and asked with a 'puzzled' face: "Sir, what are you talking about?" I don't understand you. ”
Daris snorted coldly, and said, "No, you must understand." I just looked at it, and the notebook that recorded the purchase list of the scroll ingredients was missing, and I asked the people in the scroll drawing team, and they said that the notebook was kept by you. I also asked Draco about it, and he said that you had asked for the position at the cost of helping him draw a beautiful magic scroll. You must have worked so hard to seek this position, you must be investigating my mentor, and you have already discovered something, right? ”
Link looked at Daris in surprise, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Seriously, when he saw the notebook, he was a little disdainful of Bell's negligent secrecy, but now Bell's chief disciple revealed his intentions at once, and he guessed it all at once, which was a bit unexpected by Link.
At this time, Link seemed to be completely suppressed.
"I beg you, give up the investigation, my mentor has not fallen and will not affect others." Darys's eyes were fixed on Link, as if if he would do anything he would say without saying a word.
In fact, he was able to find out about this by accident, because Link was very peculiar among magic apprentices, he had always secretly paid attention to him, and he knew everything about Link's every move in the magic tower.
Originally, Daris's was just curious about Link, but as the other party continued to appear brilliantly, he became more and more surprised, especially when the other party became the person in charge of drawing the magic scroll, the curiosity and surprise in Daris's heart suddenly turned into vigilance.
He knew about the Mentor's study of the Dark Arts, and he was even his right-hand man.
The mentor was old and a little lacking in energy, and he was only looking for a way to prolong his life, and he didn't have a good job of secrecy, but Daris, who was still young, knew that there was something in the notebook that was enough to reveal the secrets of the dark arts.
If anyone is interested in notebooks, then nine times out of ten, he has come to investigate the mentor, and the only thing that surprised Daris, he did not expect that the person who finally came to investigate the mentor would be such a low-strength ordinary magic apprentice who was no more than seventeen years old.
At this moment, Link was not idle, his thoughts were flying, he had already figured out the joints, Darith did see through his intentions, but he had no direct evidence, what he said was just his speculation.
Without evidence, judging the truth based on one's own keen senses is easy to be misled, because people's feelings are too easily influenced by external factors.
So, Link shook his head in disbelief: "I still don't understand, Mr. Daris." ”
Darys, who is unusually confident in his judgment, believes that Link is acting: "I hope so. I was an orphan and it was my mentor who raised me and he taught me magic. To me, he's my father! Anyone who wants to harm my mentor must step on my corpse! ”
After speaking, a wand engraved with pale cyan runes appeared in his hand, the tip of the wand showed a slight light, and the air around his body appeared extremely distorted, and the air in the entire corridor continued to sway and twist, like a wave of fire, which was the huge power of a level 4 magician.
If it was an ordinary magic apprentice facing this scene, he would definitely be frightened and speechless, but Link would naturally not be intimidated by this kind of bluffing, but he also knew that he couldn't fight the other party to the end, because doing so might make things uncontrollable.
The matter of a master magician studying black magic is best solved quietly.
What he has to do now is to try to stabilize the opponent's emotions and shake the opponent's judgment as much as possible, as long as the opponent hesitates in his heart, then Link can get more time to respond.
Therefore, when Darys showed the might of a level 4 magician, Link's expression seemed to be frightened, his body trembled slightly, his lips trembled, and his tone trembled a little: "Mr. Daris, I remember your words, I will think about it carefully." Also, I didn't really investigate anything, I didn't take the notebook out, it was in my room all the time, I haven't had time to look at it, I can give it to you if you need it. ”
As he spoke, Link's expression was one of fear and confusion, and he still didn't seem to understand the situation.
"Looks like you're a smart guy." Daris's nodded, his heart was slightly relieved, the other party's performance did not seem to be fake, as if he really did not come to investigate the mentor, maybe he was mistaken, maybe the other party was just a shrewd magic apprentice who planned for his own future, but it didn't matter anymore.
"Now go and get me the notebook." Daris, he said, he had to erase the flaw.
Link immediately trotted to the stairwell on the first floor and grabbed his notebook.
Took the notebook and flipped through it casually, Daris stared at Link tightly: "Today's matter, only you and I know, understand?" ”
"I understand, I understand." Link nodded hurriedly.
"Very good, now you can move your things into your new room......" Darys opened the door and handed the room key to Link.
Link took the key and ran away, looking like he was frightened.
Looking at Link's figure disappearing at the top of the stairs, Darith knew that maybe this person was just an ordinary magic apprentice, but after today's events, he was no longer suitable to stay in the magic tower.
He was going to investigate the details of the other party's background now, and whatever that background was, he would find a way to get the mentor to clear the person out of the magic tower.
Thinking of this after the other party left the magic tower, Daris's eyes were a little cloudy.
'The business of black magic must not be leaked! The mentor is old and his heart is too soft, but there are some things that cannot be ambiguous.
You must not take the slightest risk in this matter, otherwise the guru will be ruined and his future will be ruined.
