Late at night, Hearthstone Tavern.

Qiao Xiu sat in the study and looked at the ceiling, on the ceiling a primordial crystal emitted a warm light to dispel the darkness in the room, and an unknown insect was attracted by the light and kept waving its wings around the primordial spar.

Ciri had already gone back to her room early today, after all, after Ciri finished saying that sentence in the carriage, she covered her face with her hands and fell into a coquettish and ashamed situation.

Qiao Xiu was also infected by this atmosphere, he didn't expect this girl to say her 'lifelong event' to her face so seriously, and she didn't think of how to answer Ciri for a while.

"It doesn't seem to be any different from entrusting it for life, does it? Or a marriage proposal? ”

When Qiao Xiu was thinking about how to face Ciri tomorrow, a crow landed on the window of Qiao Xiu's study.

"What are the results of the investigation?" Qiao Xiu put away the tangled expression on his face and turned to look at the crow.

"Of Nolan's seven sages, the Purple-Clad is one of the sages with the least intelligence, and the only information that can be gathered so far is that she once competed with the Yellow-Clad for a disciple." The voice of a dark elf with a thousand faces sounded from the crow's mouth.

"Okay, I'm sorry for you."

Qiao Xiu didn't expect the black dove to bring him any useful information, the purple-clothed person was far older than the black dove organization.

The crow stumbled a few times on the windowsill of the study, then flapped its wings and flew into the night and disappeared.

The departure of the dark elf does not mean the end of Qiao Xiu's investigation, and a text message pops up directly in front of Qiao Xiu's eyes, and the sender of this text message is the gray and white owl.

'Melolles the Purple?' I do know a little bit about her past, but it's not a memory that one wants to recall. ’

Qiao Xiu glanced at the first paragraph of the text message sent by the Gray-clothed Man, and knew that it was not wrong to ask the Gray-clothed Man's choice.

The content of this newsletter is very long, and this sage, who can be called the 'living fossil of Nolan', tells Qiao Xiu Nolan some things that happened in the past.

The Purple Cloak is the only female sage among Nolan's Seven Sages, and her appearance and talent have naturally captured the hearts of other sages.

The Grey Man said very frankly: 'The battle between Crohill and Moracio, that is, between the Yellow and the Black, was the fiercest. In the end, the man in black won.

At that time, Nolan was only the size of a small town, but it had one of the biggest weddings.

However, life after marriage is not happy, and there is a rumor among the casters called the 'Bloodline Curse', that is, the more talented the caster will combine with each other, the less likely it is that the children born will survive.

The content of the Gray-Clad Messenger's text message was abruptly interrupted at this point, and Qiao Xiu had to send out another text message to ask the Grey-Clad to follow up.

'The child they gave birth to died?' Qiao Xiu asked.

'Human hatchlings can't withstand such a great amount of magic, and even Mellors almost lost her life......

‘……’

Qiao Xiu could guess between the lines of the text message sent by the man in gray that the mood of the man in gray was not easy at this time.

She was a good mother, and that is the only thing I remember of her, so it seems to me a joy that your assistant became her disciple, and Mellors has been alone for too long. Other than that... If you're still not sure, I've asked Ned to bring you a small gift. ’

Qiao Xiu quietly read the narration of the gray-clothed man, and the owl 'Ned' raised by the gray-clothed man also flew in from the window on time.

The owl's talons clutched a box half the size of his palm, and it landed directly on the table in front of Qiao Xiu.

Qiao Xiu grabbed the dried pickled fish from his dinner today and fed it to the owl, and after eating it, it flew out of the window and left.

"Seals?"

Qiao Xiu picked up the wooden box, and the surface was flashed with unknown magical inscriptions, which looked like a seal that could not be broken with violence.

Gray magic overflowed in Qiao Xiu's palm, easily erasing the magic inscription engraved on it.

Qiao Xiu opened the box, and the first thing he saw was a small note, the handwriting of the gray-clothed man.

It reads, 'The Ring of Clarity, which is immune to any level of psychic magic when worn, and is one of the relics found in the underground ruins.' ’

Qiao Xiu picked up this very quaint-looking silver ring, and the 'relics of the underground ruins' alone could show how valuable this ring was.

The gray-clothed man would give it to Qiao Xiu generously, partly because Qiao Xiu had really helped him a lot, and partly because he really hoped that the purple-clothed man could get a satisfactory disciple in his lifetime.

"Is this all there is to it?"

Qiao Xiu put the ring in the box and took a deep breath, then picked up the ring and walked out of the study.

…………

The door to Ciri's room was not locked, and even if Qiao Xiu was locked, he would certainly be able to find the key as the owner of the Hearthstone Tavern.

Joshua walked smoothly into Ciri's room, which looked a little cluttered, with canvases piled up in the corners of the room, as well as various paints and color palettes.

But there is a good smell in the air, a smell that makes people appetite.

Qiao Xiu cautiously walked into the room and glanced at the bed, where Ciri was in a deep sleep with his eyes closed.

This spellcaster lady has become more and more lazy since she came to Nolan, and if it was before, she could detect it as soon as Qiao Xiu opened the door.

Qiao Xiu walked slowly to the side of Ciri's bed, and gently placed the wooden box in his hand on the head of Ciri's bed...... Qiao Xiu but Ciri's eyes opened.

Ciri and Qiao Xiu looked at each other, and Qiao Xiu's movements froze there.

After just three seconds of this staring, Ciri finally spoke.

"Should I have pretended to be asleep just now?" Ciri asked.

"No, I'm pretty good at my stealth skills." Qiao Xiu adjusted his breathing, and generously placed the wooden box on the table next to the bed, "It can be regarded as a gift to congratulate you on becoming the heir of the Seven Sages of Nolan." ”

When Qiao Xiu pondered whether to leave, Qiao Xiu's hand was grabbed by Ciri.

Ciri had already sat up from the bed, her long silver-gray hair looked a little messy, the sheets had slipped down from her, and the light pajamas couldn't hide her beautiful figure at all, well... Everything is fine except for the boobs, which is not material.

"I just asked on the caster forum, and I heard that after becoming a disciple of some sages, there is very little time for free time......" Ciri's voice sounded unhappy, and she lowered her head so that Qiao Xiu couldn't see her eyes clearly.

Qiao Xiu knew what Ciri was worried about, that is, he didn't have much time to stay in the Hearthstone Tavern after becoming the apprentice of the Purple Cloak.

"I'll negotiate with the Purple One." Qiao Xiu walked to Ciri's bedside and walked down, stretched out his hand to stroke the long hair on her forehead, looked at Ciri's silver-gray eyes, and said, "Don't worry, get out of class on time every night, take two days off a week, and have holidays every holiday, I will negotiate with her as a condition, and I have a job to entrust to the person in purple, if she agrees, it is estimated that she will follow me around the world like you every day." ”

"Entrustment? About the new movie? Ciri immediately thought of the new movie that Johew was about to make.

"You guessed it, unfortunately there are no rewards, go to sleep." Qiao Xiu rubbed the ends of Ciri's hair and said.
