"Don't be afraid, you should have experienced it in your dream just now, do you think that the mages of the Ancient Magic Empire are as terrible and evil as the Glorious Church promotes?"

Now that you're on a thief ship, there's basically no chance of turning back. Carl didn't dare to gamble his life with the character of the Church, let alone think that the Red Gloves of the Church Inquisition would believe that he was really innocent.

Whether it is the bloody history of the Church in another world to judge heresy, or the glorious achievements of the Church in this world, as well as the burning racks erected high in front of those churches, and the innocents who were sent to the Inquisition in blood and at the stake, they all told Carl that he believed in the mercy of the Church, and it was not enough to find a rope and hang himself directly, so that he would die happily.

Fortunately, he is not alone now, at least he has a companion. Although little Lucy is a little girl, she is a dragon vein who has awakened the talent of knights, and she is also a girl with great potential. Either way, he had to reassure little Lucy and get her to come out of her faith and accept herself and become a magical apprentice.

"But, Mr. Karl, the magician's experiments seem to be evil......"

In the face of Carl's comfort, little Lucy recalled with some weakness: "It's cruel that they actually used living people for dissection experiments......"

“......”

Carl was speechless, but couldn't refute it. Because when you think about it, these seem to be the truth, and although the ancient magic empire is powerful and glorious, it still retains some of the cruel essence that it brought from the wizarding era.

For example, not treating slaves as human beings, using living people as experimental objects, treating people as animals for breeding experiments, throwing experimental objects into gladiatorial arenas for gladiatorial fights, and even slaughtering slaves from time to time to carry out some kind of sacrifice, all kinds of customs are indeed not called kindness and justice. Even if he is as thick-skinned as Carl, he is embarrassed to wash the floor of the Magic Empire in this regard.

"Of course, the Old Magic Empire may indeed be a little evil, but magic itself is not evil. Magic is just a tool like a knife, a car, and an axe, and it is our third hand in understanding the world and transforming reality. It is not magic that is evil, but the one who has mastered it. ”

"Just because we have accepted the inheritance of the Ancient Magic Empire and mastered the knowledge of using magic does not mean that we will become evil and cruel people like the mages of the Ancient Magic Empire!"

Carl struggled to think of words, trying to reassure and comfort little Lucy, so that she would try not to be repulsed by her status as a magician.

"Thank you, Mr. Karl!"

Little Lucy was stronger than Carl expected, she just struggled for a moment, then quickly recovered, looked at Carl seriously and said, "Thank you for your comfort." I understand, just as there are bad guys in the priest and good people in the pirates, there are good and bad people in the mage, and it is his heart, not his identity, that determines whether a person is good or bad. Even if I become a mage, I can choose to follow my conscience and be a good mage. ”

Little Lucy's unexpected strength and maturity made Carl slightly surprised, and he couldn't help but look at little Lucy again.

Although this fifteen-year-old girl still has a green face, her slender waist, slender legs, and slightly erected breasts have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain and have begun to grow strongly.

Her appearance at the moment was serious, revealing an unexpected strength and determination, and her eyes did not know the fear and fear after becoming an evil mage, but flashed with a trace of excitement and longing.

It seemed that Carl was a little embarrassed to look at him, little Lucy couldn't help but avoid Carl's gaze, lowered her head, lowered her voice, and muttered: "That, in fact, when I was a child, when I heard the stories of those knights expelling evil wizards, I was very envious of the abilities of those wizards......"

"Wizards can make pumpkins the size of houses, and they can turn people into frogs......"

"A wizard can understand the language of all things, and can talk to the animals of the forest......"

"Wizards can concoct a lot of magical potions, can cure many diseases, and can even resurrect the dead......"

"Wizards can call the wind and rain, turn winter into summer, and summer into winter......"

"Wizards are able to fly, ride a flying carpet or a broomstick, and travel around the world without worrying about robbers and road ......"

Little Lucy whispered about her impressions and dreams of wizards when she was a child, at first her voice was very low, but gradually, her voice became higher and higher, more and more firm, and her head gradually raised.

"I think I can be like a wizard and make a pumpkin the size of a house, so that I don't have to go hungry and my mom and dad can eat...... I also want to be able to turn people into frogs, so that I can turn all those nasty ghosts into toads......"

"I also want to be able to understand the language of all things like a wizard, so that when I am alone, I can talk to birds, cats and dogs......"

"I also want to be able to mix a lot of magical potions like a wizard, so that grandma and mother, and many uncles and aunts, don't have to die......"

"I also want to be able to call the wind and rain like a wizard, so that I can dispel the storm and bring my father home safely......"

"I also want to be able to fly, ride a flying carpet and a broom like wizards, go wherever I want, and be free......"

Little Lucy became more and more determined the more she spoke, and her eyes became brighter and brighter, and in the end, her whole person seemed to have faded away from a restrictive shell, exuding a kind of enlightened light, looking at Carl's eyes, they were also full of firmness and sharpness after enlightenment.

"Mr. Karl, thank you for your comfort. I won't be afraid, you're right, even if wizards are evil, but magic is not, and if I learn magic, I'll be a good wizard. ”

The glint in Little Lucy's eyes made Carl feel dazzling for a while, and at the same time he was slightly embarrassed, he himself did not have such an awareness. As for magic, all he had was curiosity about the mysterious power of the otherworld, and the joy of being able to attribute the power of greatness to one, perhaps because it was too easy to obtain, but he didn't feel very urgent.

"Mr. Karl, can you guide me? I just listened to a lot of lectures in my dreams, but I didn't understand much......

Little Lucy looked at Carl with sparkling eyes, her eyes full of longing and shame. She didn't know how to read, and although she had listened to many, many lessons in her dreams, she didn't understand them at all.

"Absolutely!"

Carl and little Lucy are completely grasshoppers on the same rope now, so naturally they don't mind helping little Lucy, a lot of helpers against the Holy See in the future.

Still, in keeping with the tradition of magicians, and to show the preciousness of knowledge and magic, he smiled and said, "If I had been holding your hand, I think I would have remembered it more clearly!"

"Well, Mr. Karl, you're going to lose my esteemed ...... like this."
