After arriving at Karachi Harbor through the teleportation circle of the tower and carefully walking out of the fantasy building full of official mages, William finally couldn't help but ask Adam, "Adam, on you, this is...?"

Before Adam could answer, the devil couldn't wait to jump out of his mind, and said with a mockery: "What happened last time scared my master, and he longed to equip his teeth with full-level magic items......"

Adam kicked it to the side and said four words with a blank face: "Be prepared." ”

William felt a little toothache, Ophelia's armor and giant sword looked very advanced, Krystel was a disciple of a formal mage, and there would be no shortage of powerful goods on his body, and now it seemed that only he was poor.

Adam didn't give him time to hurt himself, and asked directly, "If you don't have anything else to do, now we will rush to the port of Karachi and take a boat to Madeira." ”

No one spoke, William was sad, Ophelia was indifferent, Krystel was stunned, only the devil jumped out without giving up, it was very interested in this place that seemed to be countless more prosperous than the academy at a glance: "Master, I ......"

Adam ignored it and got into a small hovercar with the other three to get to the harbor.

The compulsory tasks issued by the Academy to the indentured apprentices are not paid, and this kind of task is the obligation of the apprentice, but the Academy will give the person in charge a sum of money, and all legitimate expenses incurred in the course of the task can be paid by this fund, and if the amount is exceeded, it can also be reimbursed, and all materials obtained in the course of the mission, except for those needed by the Academy, are counted as the apprentices.

This time, the four of them returned to Madeira not on the huge Moldor Academy, but on a much smaller, faster and smaller ship, which took only half a month compared to three months.

"Two gentlemen, two ladies, I hope you have a speedy journey, but I need to warn you that experimenting with elemental magic is forbidden on ships. ”

The captain of this ship was actually a mage's apprentice, but the four of Adam had only seen him when they were on board.

Adam stayed in the cabin to refine and transform the meditation method during the journey, and during this time he did not even have any communication with William, who once thought about knocking on Adam's door and asking him about the mission, but he later dismissed this idea, and waited until he landed to see his father and ask about the specific situation.

Half a month passed in a flash, and at noon on this day, the four of them arrived in Madeira and set foot in the southern harbor city.

The devil didn't dare to be lonely and jumped out again, took an exaggerated breath, and then showed an expression that was about to suffocate and said: "The desert of energy, master, are you really born in such a barren place?"

Ophelia's indifferent expression had a little struggle in it, and Krystel said directly: "Yes, barren place, but it's our hometown, Adam, can you give me some time after the mission, I want to go to the Northland to see my family." ”

Of course, Adam would not refuse such a request, and not only did he agree, but also asked Ophelia, "Miss Ophelia, what about you?"

Ophelia nodded at Adam, the only communication between the two along the way.

As early as after discovering that the situation was out of control and asked for help from the Moldor Tower, the Duke sent his men to wait in the harbor day and night, and William just got off the ship and the servants rushed to William's feet, and said excitedly: "Young Master William, you are finally back, I will go and inform the Duke, and the Lord will be very happy." After speaking, he didn't wait for William's reaction, and continued to rush towards the city.

William smiled bitterly and said to the three of Adam, "In that case, come to my house to rest first, and let my father introduce the news of the Most High God Cult." ”

After reaching an agreement, the group walked towards the Duke's Palace, and Adam's memory still remembered the pride of the locals he had seen when he first arrived in Southern Harbour City, but now, that pride had been replaced by a sense of trepidation, and the bustling street market seemed a little deserted.

"William?"

William's expression was a little solemn: "It's not normal, although the southern harbor city can't be compared to the port of Karachi, it is definitely the most prosperous city on Madeira Island, it can't be so deserted, something must have happened." ”

Everyone quickened their pace, and soon came to the outside of the Duke's palace, and Adam found that there were not only the Duke waiting outside the door, but also many people he had not seen before, and the Duke was not in a good state.

William's face changed dramatically when he saw the duke, and he rushed up to hug the duke but didn't know where to put his hand, because the duke was covered in bruises, and even permanently lost his left arm.

"Father, what happened? Who hurt you like this?!" William asked anxiously and angrily.

The duke, however, smiled heartily, hugged William with his remaining right arm, and slapped him heavily on the back: "William, my son, welcome you back." Then he let go of William, and said to the three Adams, "Miss Ophelia, you are still so dazzling, Adam, I remember you, welcome you back, and this beautiful young lady...... "The Duke could not remember the name of Cristel.

"Cristal, Lord Duke. ”

Crestal smiled and whispered.

At this moment, the strangers around the Duke were in an uproar, and a noblewoman rushed out of the crowd and asked sharply, "William, where is my son?"

The Duke coughed dryly: "I'll ask these things later, the feast is about to begin, and I think we should pick up the wind for these children first." ”

The prestige of the duke was very high, although everyone was unwilling, but they all entered the duke's palace according to the words, and the banquet was very rich, but everyone felt that the food was tasteless, William was worried about his father's state, and everyone was concerned about their children, and finally, in the middle of the banquet, the noblewoman first put down her knife and fork, and once again questioned William.

William frowned and swallowed the steak in his mouth, and then said, "It's a pity, Lady Richard, and all of you, only the four of us survived the apprentices who were chosen by Master Mage. ”

William's words caused an uproar, these aristocratic families had sent their outstanding children on the ship with great hope, so that one day they could return from their studies to glorify their ancestors, but now they actually heard the news that their children had died.

"This can't be! Who can hurt my child under the protection of the mage, you must be lying to me, you are lying to me, are you!?" Lady Richard screamed hysterically, and got up from her seat and rushed to question William.

William took a step back and said calmly: "Lady Richard, please be decent, my father has already told you that the path of the mage is full of dangers, and I regret the death of those brothers, but they all followed the mage after your consent. ”

Adam silently finished the last bite of food, got straight from his seat, and walked out of the dining room, as did Cristal and Ophelia, such a drama was too low-level, they had no interest in tangling with this group of stupid nobles.

The noblewoman still did not give up: "How could my son die? He is so good! Is he not as good as these two lowly paupers?!" The noblewoman did not hesitate to say anything, and pointed the finger at Adam and Cristal, who were very few civilians among the original apprentices, and only three were praised by the mage, including Adam and Cristal.

In the face of such trash talk, Adam ignored it, and even the sensitive Coristel was now able to face his former identity calmly, and after becoming a mage apprentice, everything of ordinary people was not taken into account by them.

William felt very unhappy, even if the two of them didn't care, but since he had come to the Duke's Palace, he was his guest, and he could not sit back and watch his distinguished guest being insulted.

William got up, the magic fluctuated all around him, the temperature in the air began to rise sharply, there was a faint fire in front of him, the noble lady was forced to retreat, and almost fell to the ground, William looked around and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I say again, as a nobleman, please be decent, otherwise my companions and I will not mind teaching you some lessons, so that you know the cost of offending the superiors." ”

Duke Alfred looked at his son and smiled with satisfaction, William has grown up, so even if he dies, the Alfred family will still stand.

Just as everyone was under pressure from William, another voice sounded: "Mr. William, can you tell me why my child Quentin Brown died, after all, he was a genius that even the Master Mage praised in the first place." ”

Quentin?William froze for a moment, and the flames faded with it, he had never seen Quentin's father, so he didn't recognize it just now, but he didn't think that Quentin's civilian father could be qualified for such a banquet, and he also had the surname Brown.

He involuntarily lowered his head.....

At this time, Adam, who had come to the door, suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Quentin was killed by me. Adam freely admitted that he was the murderer, and he was unwilling and did not know how to lie.

Quentin's father jerked up from his seat, flipped his chair over, and asked Adam with a monstrous rage, "Your Excellency, I wonder why you killed my child?"

The Duke had a bit of a headache, he didn't expect such a thing to happen, if it was before, Brown's attitude was not worth caring about at all, but now......
