in the room.

Link started from his arrival in Riverdale, to cooperating with the Flamingo mercenary team due to lack of money, and finally exterminating the Dark Brotherhood, killing the demonized Werther, and obtaining the demonized rune, in which there is no concealment.

After speaking, Link pointed to the demonic rune and said: "This rune is almost indestructible, it is a demonic holy weapon, which must contain a lot of incredible demonic knowledge, my original idea was to secretly study it, hoping to get the power in it, but, the facts tell me that I was too naïve at the beginning." ”

Verora's heart was full of joy, she shook her head and said, "I can't blame you, curiosity is a trait that any magician possesses, and this is also the biggest motivation for magicians to move forward." It's wise that you can control your curiosity!

She circled around the demonic rune, her brows furrowing more and more: "Very evil aura, this matter is very serious, I must report it to the dean." Link, you're there too. ”

"Of course." Link nodded.

Verora took out a demonic blocker, put the demonization rune into it, and then led Link out of the magic tower, all the way to the 'Thorn of the Sky' where Anthony was.

This time, there was no accident, and the two of them saw this level 7 great magician in the alchemy room of the magic tower, who was carefully cleaning a delicate bottle of magic potions.

"What's the matter, Monny?" Seeing his disciple, Anthony was obviously in a good mood, and the sharp lines on his majestic face softened a lot.

There was no one else in the alchemy room, and Verora closed the door, then took out the wooden box, opened it, and placed it on the alchemy table.

Anthony took one look and froze.

He put down the demonic crystal bottle in his hand, walked a few steps quickly to the alchemy table, picked up the wooden box, and carefully studied the demonic runes contained in the box.

His expression was first shocked, then contemplative, and slowly, there was a trace of obsession in his eyes, which lasted for a long time, and his expression suddenly shook and came to his senses.

Closing the lid of the wooden box heavily, Anthony let out a long breath, and his whole body looked much older, as if this movement exhausted all the strength of his body.

After a while, Anthony put the wooden box back on the alchemy table, and it could be seen that he was still a little reluctant.

Only then did he speak: "This dark runestone contains an infinite amount of magical knowledge, it is very evil, and it is also very tempting, Moni, you quickly put it away." ”

Virala looked a little frightened on the sidelines, she hurriedly took a step back to get the wooden box, put this thing into her space bracelet, and then said, "Mentor, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." Anthony took a few deep breaths and came to his senses: "Where did it come from?" ”

Verora glanced at Link, Link nodded at her, and Verora told Link how he had gotten the Demonized Rune.

Anthony listened carefully, and when Verora finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Link, a little puzzled: "Why did you suddenly think of handing it over?" If you do your research secretly, I'm afraid no one will know about it. ”

During the questioning, the respected dean scrutinized Link carefully, with a hint of vigilance and doubt in his eyes.

He was wary of Link's previous hidden actions, wondering why Link had made such a choice.

The magical knowledge contained in this dark rune stone is enough to drive any magician crazy, and even he, if he were to face this rune stone alone, he might be like Link, secretly hiding it, and then secretly studying it.

It was because he had experienced the temptation of runestones that Anthony could not understand Link's actions.

Link, a young man, had been observing lately, and knew that this man was extremely obsessed with magic, more than him, and that the rune stone should be more seductive to him than he was.

Link saluted the Dean first, then stood up straight and said calmly, "Dean, Master Bell's fall has alerted me. ”

"Oh?" Anthony still didn't believe it, but he couldn't tell the hint of hypocrisy in Link's expression.

Link continued, "Don't look down at the abyss, because the abyss will look back at you. Do not go near the darkness because the darkness will pollute your mind. Your Excellency, I am mortal, and I do not think that willpower can withstand the gaze of the abyss. In fact, I'm still very interested in the knowledge contained in this demonic rune, but I don't dare. ”

He didn't dare!

In these three words, there is the wisest humility.

In front of him is a golden mountain that emits thousands of rays of light, but at the foot of the golden mountain is an abyss, I don't know how many people only see the brilliance of the golden mountain, but ignore the darkness of the abyss, and as a result, they fall to pieces.

Hearing this, Anthony was silent for a long time, he looked directly into Link's eyes, and saw a pair of dark eyes mixed with depth and clarity, in which there was childlike innocence and wisdom.

Verora didn't speak, she was also reflecting on Link's words, and she realized that she still underestimated the young man. He is not without flaws, and he is not perfect, but he has been carving himself and improving himself with the carving knife of wisdom.

God's chosen people are never reckless men with only power.

For a moment, the alchemy room became very quiet.

After a long time, a deep voice sounded, it was Anthony, he was laughing: "What a 'I don't dare', yes, I don't dare, to be honest, I can't resist its temptation alone, once you leave, when I hold it alone, I will inevitably go to explore the dark secrets of the runes." So, let's face this rune together. ”

Anthony straightened up: "Moni, you have always been favored by the light, and I probably know where you came from. Of the three of us, you are the only one who can completely resist the evil power of this rune, so it's up to you to keep it! ”

"Yes, Mentor." Verora nodded heavily.

"Don't be busy and relax, the sun also sets, and the light may not be permanent, and anything may happen in the future. I, Link will always keep an eye on you, and you will always keep an eye on me, no matter what reason I have, and resolutely refuse to let me touch this evil rune stone! Link, so do you! ”

In the end, Anthony was already full of voice, which showed his jealousy of this rune stone.

Mortals, when is the most vulnerable? When you're alone!

If you are alone, without any surveillance, without any constraints, you can do anything, so Anthony didn't dare to hold the rune stone alone, he chose the mode of three people restraining each other.

That's the safest way to do it.

Link had one last doubt, and he said, "Your Excellency, why me?" I think it would be better to have the masters of the council to oversee it. ”

Although he is considered a level 4 magician, he may be quite good in terms of magical combat effectiveness, but in terms of understanding of magic, he is too far worse than those magic masters, and he can't be on the stage at all, to be honest, even he doesn't think that he is qualified to supervise this demonized rune with the dean and Verora.

Anthony laughed: "Young man, don't be presumptuous. The existence of this rune stone is not suitable for more people to know, and besides, the old bones of the council are not as easy to talk as I am. Maybe they'll expel you from the academy. ”

Seeing that Verola on the side seemed to be unconvinced, Anthony raised his hand to stop, and he continued: "I know this is absurd, but this is reality. Those masters are all old, and they only have old rules in their eyes. ”

With that, Anthony suddenly took out his wand.

This wand has a great origin, it is called 'Dean's Judgment', it is a holy weapon inherited by the Dean, its appearance is a bit similar to the King's Scepter, but it looks more delicate, its wand body is said to be made of the branch of the World Tree given by the elves, and the gem on the end of the wand is the heart of the mountain range of the highest mountain in the Loki Mountains, Zar Luofeng, which is multicolored, and the most gorgeous gems in the world are eclipsed in front of it.

Link looked over, and information appeared in his vision.

"The Dean's ruling, the Staff of the Guardian."

Tsk, this attribute is really amazing!

After Anthony took out his wand, he pointed to the void beside him, and saw a small black hole appear in the air, Anthony reached in and fumbled for a while, and then took out a beautifully decorated notebook.

"Young man, this is my gift." He handed the notebook to Link.

Verora exclaimed softly, "Mentor, this is your life's work. ”

Anthony smiled: "It is because of my hard work that I have to choose the successor carefully, Moni, don't tell your senior brothers, otherwise they will all become red-eyed rabbits." ”

He turned to Link, "It's what I've learned about magic. I originally wanted to leave it to Moni when I died, but now I'm going to cheapen you. Oh, you'll give it to Moni when you're done. ”

Level 7 Magic Master's lifetime experience, Link's heart was beating wildly, at this stage, this notebook was worth far more to him than the demonization rune, it seemed that he had made a right choice.

He carefully took the notebook and said seriously, "I won't let you down, Your Excellency. ”

"I believe in you." Anthony nodded, and then he suddenly nodded his head with the wand in his hand, as if remembering something: "Oh, by the way, young man, I have heard of your background, you are a noble child, are you interested in going to the battlefield to win a knighthood?" ”

Anthony's thinking jumped a little big, and Link couldn't keep up: "Me, the battlefield? ”

"Yes, the battlefield, the kingdom army has gone north, but there is a lack of truly experienced combat magicians, if you are interested, I can recommend you to join the army as the deputy commander of the legion magic, of course, this matter is not in a hurry, the army has really arrived in the north, everything is ready, there is still a short time. You've got about two months to think about it. ”

Link really had to think about it seriously, so he said, "Since there is still so much time, then I will calm down and learn magic first." ”

"Go, young man." Anthony smiled kindly, and Virala was amazed to see that she hadn't seen as many smiles on her mentor's face as she had in all these years.

Coming out of the Thorn of the Sky and walking on the road, Link said to Verola, "I still can't let go of the matter of Philia, I have a feeling that this dark elf has a great plan, and I have decided to go to Riverdale." ”

"It's okay, be careful on the road, if there is any emergency, don't be busy, use this to contact me." Verora instructed, and as she handed a glowing blob of light to Link.

Link looked closely, but it was a white feather, and Celine had given him a similar feather, so Link was not surprised, took the feather, and he carefully put it away.

"I understand." Link nodded, didn't go back to the magic tower, and turned directly to the academy's stables.
