The black tea in the cup was already halfway through, and Chen Senran shook the spoon nonchalantly, "Thank you for your afternoon tea, respected Mr. Hasta." ”

It's the seventh day he's been here, and Mystic Warlock Gregory Hasta is finally ready for a showdown with him.

Taking a sip of the black tea in the cup, the meticulous middle-aged man with long brown hair put down the teacup, "Mr. Chen Senran, I believe you have learned enough information in the past few days. Hasta didn't continue the silence of a full spell, and got straight to the point.

"Thank you very much for the materials you prepared for me." Gregory Hasta is definitely a wise middle-aged man, and he borrows an entire bookcase of books to test and force Chen Senran to understand his condition and make judgments.

"In fact I am very satisfied with your performance, if you had not noticed those books, then there would not have been this afternoon tea, and I would not hesitate to hand you over to the council for some small benefit." Hasta did not shy away from saying what he had planned.

"Value determines treatment." Chen Senran didn't care about Hasta's aggressive tone, "Now I think we can talk about future cooperation." ”

Seven days and a vast number of books were enough for Chen Senran to understand the basic rules of this world.

"If nothing else, the envoy of the parliament will be here in the next few days." Hasta blew on the somewhat cold black tea, "What are you going to do?" ”

In fact, none of the visitors from the otherworldly realm in history have escaped being kept in captivity by the Parliament.

"Look, Mr. Hasta, I'm just an ordinary man, I don't have a trace of extraordinary strength, maybe not as good as an ordinary soldier in Demacia." Chen Senran smiled and pointed to his slightly thin body, while skillfully using the metaphor of this world.

"Then why would the high-ranking gentlemen of the council care about me as little?"

Seven full days of reading had already made him look like a native of this world, at least in terms of speaking style.

"You're from another world." Hasta took a sip of black tea and knocked on the table to accentuate his tone, "Mr. Chen Senran, I don't think you have figured out the current situation, the council will definitely not allow the emergence of a guy who disrupts the balance, although you look harmless to humans and animals now." ”

"Okay, Mr. Hasta, forgive me for my misexpression, I mean, why do I look like I'm going to upset the balance?" Chen Senran pulled out an absolutely invincible confident smile, "Dear Mr. Hasta, since you have decided to cooperate with me, I believe that you will never embarrass me in some details, after all, I am an outsider." ”

In fact, in the original world realm, Chen Senran had received absolutely complete training in negotiation skills, and he was no stranger to the small tricks played by this noble mage.

Hasta's eyes narrowed, the guy in front of him was even more cunning than he expected, and it looked like the original estimate was a little less valuable.

"Okay, Mr. Chen Senran, you are calm and wise enough, I apologize for my faux pas." The noble mage lowered his posture a little, "But one thing you need to remember is that your right to live here is temporary, and your wisdom has earned me respect, but it is not enough. ”

Followed by a threat, Hasta put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at Chen Senran, and walked away.

Chen Senran drank the cold black tea in one gulp, carrots and sticks? It's only useful for children. He grinned at Anne, who was grimacing him outside the window.

——————————

The council's carriage came a little later than expected, and in fact Hasta had already known the way when the carriage with the spellbook, the scale, and the crystal tower had passed through the grand barrier into the Voodoo Lands.

The chariot was pulled by two white horses from the barren avenue to the gray buildings, and as a noble mage, Hasta politely led everyone to wait for the envoy of the War College as a sign of respect and submission to the supreme authority.

The carriage stopped in the neat and regular square, and the horses' hooves made a crisp "drooping" sound as they stepped on the gray rocks. There were three people out of the car, all dressed in purple robes trimmed with gold filigree, with the logo of the War College on their necklines, and the dazzling crystal towers glittering in the sunlight.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Hasta." The leader is a rather tall man, with a goatee, and a tone of elegance typical of the Demacians, with a hint of twist at the end.

"It's an honor to meet you, Your Excellency." Mr. Mystic Warlock did not hesitate to use honorifics.

"You're welcome, just call me Jason." The envoy's expression softened suddenly, and he nodded his head in acknowledgment.

"Yes, Lord Jason, please over here." Hasta gracefully bowed and led the three envoys of the War College to the tall off-white building.

Jason was obviously pleased with Hasta's attitude, and even quipped: "I used to hear that the gray order is a rose in the desert, but now it seems that it is art." ”

"You've won a prize." Hasta smiled humbly.

Hasta arranged the meeting in a neat reception room, with a simple oak table in the center.

"Nice place." Jason began to be stingy with his praise, he lifted the white curtains and looked out at the small garden, where white roses were blooming.

"Bring that new friend with you, then." Jason lowered the curtain and sat down in the first place.

"I'm afraid, it's not very convenient." Hasta's face showed a hint of regret.

"Oh, what's the problem?" Jason was a little dissatisfied, but he tried to keep smiling.

"His body ...... Something went wrong. ”

——————————

Chen Senran had some problems with his body, but it was not small.

The skin of his whole body took on a dark red color, and in some places there were even scorching marks, and a trace of burning breath came from his body.

Jason frowned and looked at the young man lying on the bed, and said with some dissatisfaction: "What's wrong with him?" ”

"I think it's some kind of explosion of magical matter." Hasta said in an extremely professional tone.

"Crimson Blaze?" As soon as Jason spoke, he shut his mouth. After all, there is a not-so-glorious record of this legendary item lost by the Academy, it was stolen by the Academy's first betrayer in a hundred years, which is undoubtedly a secret of the Academy, although judging from the unsurprised expression of the mysterious warlock in front of him, this secret seems to have spread all over the continent.

"He has a very poor physique, and he is completely an ordinary person." Hasta cleverly digressed the subject.

"That's a strange thing, judging from those who were summoned before, these guys from the otherworldly realm should all have a pair of copper skin and iron bones." Jason took the steps, "Can you get on the road?" ”

"If you leave soon, you should be able to make it to the War College." "I might be able to help, I have some newly developed magic potions that can temporarily suppress the amount of mana," Hasta said enthusiastically. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Hasta, the Academy will remember your achievements." Jason is authentic.

Then, he looked at Chen Senran again and said, "Young man, can you speak?" What is your name? ”

Chen Senran barely raised his eyelids, but a mouthful of flames spat out, almost burning Jason.

"Oh, damn it, it looks like it's going bad, we need to get off early." Jason took a step back and said to the other two entourage.

————————————————

As the carriage pulled out of the gray-white square, the two white horses looked a little weak, as if they had been made a little uncomfortable by the weather in this ghost place.

Our elegant and noble Mr. Hasta stood at the door, watching the carriage depart, and then smiled at his wife, who was standing aside.

"Are you sure this will work?" The woman's voice, which had never shown her face, was low and gentle.

Hasta patted Anne, who was still looking at the carriage, and said, "Who knows?" ”

"Tibbs......," the little girl muttered.
