"What?!You actually turned Thunder into a dragon?and let him follow the Golden Dragon Clan to the Golden Dragon Sanctuary?" Cassius stood up with a cry and roared at Owen.

The basket for lunch, which had rested on his lap, was overturned, and pieces of bread and meat were scattered all over the floor.

Owen didn't speak. He had discussed it with Sophia a few times before deciding to tell Cassius the truth, so he was prepared for Cassius to be upset when he heard it, but he didn't expect him to react so violently. Owen can only be silent about this small anger, because at this time, any justification is pale and powerless, and it will only add fuel to the fire.

But even if Owen didn't speak, Sophia couldn't hold it back, she also stood up and said to Cassius softly: "You calm down, Cassius, you can't completely blame Owen for this, after all, no one can control the situation at that time." And that was Ray's own decision. ”

"No! I can't accept it!" Cassius roared loudly, his magic power flowing out with his emotional fire, and a cold air quickly surged out around himself, instantly freezing everything within a radius of a hundred meters.

"You said you would take care of my brother!" What did you swear before you left St. Pope's Island that day?" Cassius pointed at Owen, and his muscles flashed, "Owen, I still trust you so much! If anything happens to Ray, I will never forgive you!" After saying that, he turned and walked into the valley without looking back.

"Cassius ......" Sophia hurriedly chased after her.

But Owen took her hand.

"Let him be quiet for a moment. Owen said.

Perhaps Owen was right, Cassius was on fire at this time, and Sophia could only helplessly watch him return to the valley full of miasma and negative magic particles.

"How can this be? This fat man, fat man, he is too much!"

Night. Sophia's room.

After hearing about the day's events, Alice was very angry.

"While I also thought Ray would be fine, Cassius didn't believe it. Sophia said.

Even though she had become a leader, she still felt powerless when she returned to dealing with such issues as a friend and companion.

"Cassius can't be blamed for this, it's entirely my fault. Owen took the blame on his own initiative.

"How so? Since it was Ray's own choice to change from a human to a dragon, even if Owen didn't go with you, it wouldn't change anything, and the situation would be worse. Sophia said.

"I'm not talking about Ray. The matter has passed, and I'm talking about Cassius himself. Owen said.

"Huh?" "What?"

The two beauties cast inquiring glances at the same time.

"Before I went to Cassius, I used the 'Cards of Destiny' to calculate that Cassius might have some changes that I didn't want to see. I just didn't expect the situation to get so serious. I was too rash and too negligent. Owen got up from his chair, walked to the window, pushed it open, and looked out at the mountains and night, "If it's normal to be angry at me for not taking good care of his brother, then the murderous intent that Cassius had shown before that made me shudder. “

"Killing intent?" the two girls said in unison.

"The battle I fought with him during the day, although it was to test the effect of his cultivation, Cassius's moves were deadly everywhere, leaving no room for anything, and there was no gentleness and moderation at all. To put it mildly, like a rabid dog with rabies. ”

Hearing Owen say this, Sophia couldn't help but pause. Although she did not directly participate in the battle between Owen and Cassius during the day, as a bystander who experienced it herself, she had already felt that Cassius had a terrible killing intent hidden in him, turning the rivalry between friends into a life-and-death match. Although Sophia was frightened at the time, she was worried that her delusion would affect the friendship of her companions and did not say it, but now through Owen's mouth, Sophia knew that her feelings were not delusional.

"No, that's not what Cassius is going to do. What does it mean to him to kill his friend?" Sophia stood up.

"And that's not the only thing. Owen turned around and said, "I'm more worried about Cassius's body." Although we have seen that Cassius has not only practiced magic but also combat martial arts in these days, his body has become much stronger, and his magic cultivation has also been greatly improved. But what we see is only the appearance. I'm worried that his so-called 'power' is just the result of an overdraft of his magic. Although he can see miracles in the short term, in the long run, his body will not be able to bear it after all. ”

"Wouldn't it?" said Sophia, worried.

"If it was the original Cassius, of course he wouldn't do such a thing. Owen turned again and looked out the window.

"Owen, are you saying that Cassius's personality will change so much, and it is not his own willingness?" Sophia walked up to Owen's side.

"Negative mana particles in the valley. Owen expressed his speculation, "This is the closest possible I can think of." ”

"Oh my God! it turned out to be the Force pool left behind by the demons. I should have stopped him a long time ago. Sophia rubbed her hands.

"Wait, what are you talking about negative magic? what demons? what Force pool?" Alice was confused.

"That's the power of the remnants of the devil. All in all, the place where Cassius chose to practice was one of the demon's lairs two thousand years ago. Although the demons there have long been destroyed, the power left behind still affects everything in that valley. Sophia turned around and explained earnestly to Alice, and finally, she solemnly added, "Owen and I have both challenged real demons and experienced first-hand how terrible those demons' mind-control magic is. Forgive me, God of the Light, I should have reminded Cassius a long time ago, I ......"

"It's not your fault. Ou Ye turned around, patted Sophia on the shoulder, and said, "Cassius is also involved in the war with Mephistopheles, and he knows no less about the terrifying power of demons than you and me, but he still chose that place as a training ground, which shows how determined his will to 'become stronger' is." ”

Feeling Owen's reassurance, Sophia's uneasy mood calmed down slightly.

After seeing Sophia sit down, Owen also sat back in his place and continued: "The negative energy particles left by the demon may just be a trigger, and the main reason for the real change in his temperament may be from himself. ”

"Is that what you just said about wanting to 'become stronger' no matter what?" Sophia gradually had a clearer idea.

This extreme obsession has undoubtedly become a breakthrough for him to be invaded by negative energy particles. But the most important thing now is to find the person who created this 'getting stronger' obsession and imposed it on Cassius. Owen uttered his analysis.

Sophia burst out and asked, "Who is this man?"

"I don't know. But my gut tells me that this person is not far away from us, maybe right next to us. ”

"How so?" the Lynx has been completely eliminated!" Alice was reluctant to start any more internal turmoil among the Revengers.

"I don't think General Bobcat will be that capable. What we have to deal with is a much stronger force. ”

"Hmm......" Hearing Owen's analysis, Sophia felt deeply.

Since leaving the Holy Pope's Island, the companions have been subjected to a series of attacks along the way, and they have come from several different powerful forces. In retrospect, Sophia felt a chill run down her spine.

"I don't know who the other person is, but the methods used by this person give me some clues. Owen said.

"Did you find something?" asked Alice. She desperately wanted to know if something was wrong with the people around her.

"Actually, I'm just skeptical. What can influence Cassius's mind is most likely 'Spiritualism'. ”

Hearing the new term for the first time, Sophia and Alice glanced at each other, then at Owen together, waiting for his explanation.

Owen picked up the teacup on the table, poured himself a glass of water, and then said slowly: "The so-called 'spiritualism' is not magic in the traditional sense, nor is it telekinesis, but if it is forcibly classified, it is not wrong to classify it as magic. In fact, this kind of mind control method comes from ......"

"Oh no, no, Your Highness Princess, Miss Alice, big deal......

Before Owen could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a noise outside and a girl's hurried shouting.

When Alice opened the door, she saw a female soldier standing outside the door, panting and purple.

"Zu'er, what's so flustered?" asked Alice.

The female soldier named "Zuer" was about to answer, but saw that Owen was also in the room, so she stopped talking.

"It's okay, Instructor Owen also has access to secrets. Zu'er, just tell me what you know. Sophia walked over.

"Hmm. With Sophie's permission, Zuer calmed her breathing a little and said, "Joika, Mr. Joika, he's back." ”

"Finally willing to come back. Alice breathed a sigh of relief, she was glad it wasn't a big deal, and at the same time expressed her displeasure with Joyka's lack of responsibility, "This guy is coming back, what's there to panic about?"

"But, but...... "Zuel held out his hand, pointing outside, "and he brought back Veronica's body." ”
