Out of the blacksmith shop, Ari's mood is still very good.

Life is really full of surprises, I thought it was a day of water reversal, but I didn't expect to successfully counterattack at the last moment. In addition to the long-coveted kitchen knife directly upgraded to level nine to become a kitchen knife max, the biggest gain was that he was accepted as an apprentice by the blacksmith, not to mention the development of a sub-profession, and he could also solve the sinister intentions of Garthers towards him!

Although he was treated rudely by the teacher, Ai Rui didn't care at all, as a disciple, he should be more tolerant and understanding of the teacher, after all, thunder and rain and dew are all teachers' kindness!

Thinking like this, Ari decided to find a small notebook and record this teacher's grace - if it was forgotten because of a long time, it would not only be his loss, but also the teacher's loss!

How precious is it?At least it's more precious than a kitchen knife max!

Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Ari suddenly sighed with some emotion, what a rich day, how many things he had experienced from morning to night! If it were changed to the content of the novel, he would have probably written more than ten chapters at this time. If this is the case every day, I'm afraid he will have to change his name to Conan, because when the time comes, it seems that he can't get by, no matter how much time passes, he will never grow up.

......

Back at the castle, it was completely dark, and unlike usual, the castle was very grand.

The Gully couple received Gathers with the highest aristocratic courtesy. Dinner was served in the Ballroom on the first floor of the castle, a fifteen-metre-high ballroom that was extremely high and bright, illuminated by a large number of magical lamps that illuminated the huge oil frescoes on the walls.

The table was twenty meters long, and after bathing, Ari changed into the costume of a noble boy and was led to the table by his mother Peya, where Gully and Garthers were already seated at either end of the long table.

Under his mother's watchful gaze, Ari reluctantly sat on a high chair and waited for his meal, this was the first time he had sat in a banquet hall, and even the high chair had been specially made for him in the afternoon.

Looking at the neatly arranged knives and forks in front of him, as well as the delicate food and pastries, Ari had always disliked these cumbersome dining rules, and before Ari was too young after all, Gully and Peya didn't ask for anything from him.

However, with the level of intelligence that Ari has shown, no one can put him in the same way as ordinary children. Today's banquet for Garthas, as a bridge between the two sides in the future, Ari's participation is not abrupt.

Halfway through dinner, the maids came in to remove the remaining scraps from the table and replace them with new utensils.

Gu wiped his mouth with a snow-white napkin and said to Garthus with a smile, "Your Excellency Magister Garthus, with your vast knowledge, it is indeed an honor for Ari to learn from your side. ”

Seeing that when it came to himself, Ari couldn't keep his head down and be an ostrich, so he immediately ignored his mother's teachings and said, "Father, I already have a teacher! ”

"What!" Gully shook his body and stared at Ari with wide eyes, trying to tell if it was a lie or not.

"Ari, don't talk nonsense!" Even a hint of anxiety flashed across Peiya's face, and she, who had always been gentle, couldn't help but scold angrily at this time. She already knew that Garthers could heal Ari's curse.

Ari had never seen his mother have been so angry, and he was immediately stunned, but it was indeed an apprenticeship in the afternoon, so he could only say, "It's true, the apprenticeship ceremony has been held in the afternoon!"

"Don't get me wrong, Lord Garthaus, this matter ......" Peia didn't care about reprimanding Ari, or even about etiquette, and her eyes were fixed on Garthas's face, for fear that the magister would walk away.

From the beginning of the dinner, Garthas's expression has been very calm, and he is not as aggressive as when he first met. Even after hearing what Ari said, he only frowned slightly.

During the day, as Gully visited the castle, his curiosity deepened with this "neighbor" with whom he had not dealt much before.

Three years ago, when they first came to Bran Village, Garthers had dealt with Gully, after all, it was not very reassuring to have a completely strange magister in the place where they lived.

After a period of peace, they both found that the other party did not seem to have malicious intent, so they reached an agreement not to probe each other's secrets.

However, after all, it is a neighbor, and the Kawagebo Mountains are said to be very big, but there are not many places where high-level demonic beasts haunt, and it just so happens that both sides have a rigid demand for demonic beasts, so after several encounters, through the perception of the remaining elements on the scene, Garthas found that this man who became a magister at a young age actually seemed to be the legendary seven-line magister.

It wasn't until he happened to see the staff Gully was using that he was relieved. In the legends of the continent, the Holy Magic Wand is the first magic wand in the world, and no one can tell its origin, except that this staff has the most powerful magic in the world, and those who possess it can release all the elemental magic.

During the day, he couldn't resist his long-standing curiosity, so he agreed to Gully's invitation and came to the castle as a guest.

After visiting, whether it was the many skilled warriors, or the conversation and demeanor shown by Guli in the daytime, he was deeply impressed, such a family would definitely not be unknown on the mainland, and he was really unknown, adding a mystery to the plain.

For Ari, he didn't really have the intention of revenge on Ari, Eri's talent was rare in his life, his innate extraordinary spiritual power, and his extraordinary intelligence made him also moved. Although he is an apprentice, if there is no apprentice, what is the difference between an apprentice and a personal disciple?

As for the curse hidden in Ari's body, in his opinion, it wasn't even necessarily a bad thing, this curse didn't act directly on Ari, but through the connection in the mother's womb, Ari was affected.

In Garthas's guess, the target of the curse is Peya's mother, so the target of the seal of the cursed power itself should be the same. In Garthas's cognition, there is no difference in power, the difference is only the imprint attached to the power, for example, you and I both have fire magic, and the magic itself has no attributes, in the process of meditation and absorbing the fire element into your body, it is to exert your own imprint on the ownerless elemental energy, thus becoming your magic.

However, when Ari was in the womb, he was also a part of Peya's body, but after he was born, he had a soul of his own, and he was a completely new individual. At this time, the target of the cursed power with the mark was Peya, so it could only remain in Peya's body, while the other part of the cursed power without the mark was integrated into Eri's body because of the connection between the mother and the fetus.

Therefore, it is not the curse at the beginning in Eri's spiritual sea, but the curse power that has wiped out the mark, this power has no owner, and the fundamental reason why it absorbs Eri's soul energy is just because Eri's current spiritual power is too weak, and he doesn't know how to control this power that belongs to him at all. It's like a seed, unconsciously absorbing energy to grow itself.

The scattered curse power in Peiya's body has long been wiped out after being suppressed by the Holy Magic Staff, but this curse in Eri's body has no attributes and has long been the same origin as Eri, so it cannot be eliminated at all.

Garthus is a dual cultivator of spiritual magic and ice magic, and suitable apprentices are really hard to find. And Eri has the power seeds left by the cursed scepter and the holy magic wand in his body, whether it is spiritual magic or elemental magic, he has a natural advantage in cultivation.

Although magicians are famously arrogant, there are indeed many magicians who don't care about the eyes of the world, and Garthus is one of them, otherwise he wouldn't have come here alone to study potions, with Ari's talent, let alone a mere blacksmith, what if he is a beggar?

So he glanced at Ari and said lightly: "In that case, you can do chores for me, just lack a miscellaneous servant." ”
