After helping the servant clean up the plates left over from dinner, the knight sat down on the sofa and sighed.

"Shall we have a hot cup of tea?" Lutha whispered closer to Anusen with her cup in both hands.

"Ah, thank you. The knight took the teacup with relief, and stroked Lusa's head lovingly: if only he had a daughter.

At the mention of his daughter, Anusen felt helpless: he felt more and more that he had a daughter in his family. This part of the memory may have been artificially blurred—the scenes of life that drifted through his mind from time to time reminded him that he should not have lived alone in the city of Tomeca for twenty years.

Black tea...... It looks like it's hot. Looking at the steam wafting from the tea, Anusen thought about the origin of the amulet again.

Damn, I can't think of it at all! The knight sighed: Forget it, if this situation continues, it's useless to break your head.

"Yo, this long sigh is really level. Lying on the sofa on his side, the mad dog, who was busy flipping through a heavy ancient book, raised his eyes: "If you are too idle, you can read the book." ”

"I don't have the habit of reading books after meals. The knight rejected the proposal and pointed at the mad dog: "But I really didn't expect you to read a book." ”

"Usually no. Mad Dog turned the page again attentively, "But this book is really interesting." ”

"What's the content?" Lucina asked curiously.

"Oh, it's all about teaching all kinds of male and female positions. Staring at Lucina, Mad Dog smiled maliciously: "I'm going to leave for the eastern outpost tomorrow, and this trip is very dangerous." Why don't you come to my room in the evening and try something I've just learned?"

"Are you dreaming?" Lucina's face turned red all of a sudden: "Don't hit me and pay attention!"

"You're so small-breasted, it's so rare for me to do it?!" The mad dog smacked in his mouth: "Oops, two palm-sized lumps...... You take yourself too seriously, don't you, Miss Mage?"

"Do you dare to say it again?" Lucina stood up resentfully.

"He's teasing you, Lucina. Seeing that the situation was not good, Anusen hurriedly calmed Aya's emotions: "Don't get excited. The more excited you are, the happier the mad dog becomes. ”

"I know......" Aya sat back on the sofa in frustration: "I heard him say that I have small breasts, so I was inexplicably angry." ”

"Mad dog, don't make such bad jokes!" The knight was indignant: "You are like this, how can you make them both feel at ease?"

"This also blames me? Her breasts are already small, so don't you let me?" the mad dog was smug and continued to turn the page: "Anyway, I'm like this." It can't be changed. ”

"Can't change it? I don't think you want to change it!" The knight picked up the teacup angrily: "It's easy for you to offend people like this, do you know?"

"Yes. But if I want to change, it won't be me. Mad Dog sneered and looked up: "As for offending people, I hope to offend as much as possible." The only ones left are the ones who are qualified to call me mad dogs. ”

Stunned for a moment, the knight sighed: "Where did you get that kind of book?"

"Oh, the Bachelor's room. Mad Dog flipped the page again and quickly glanced at the contents: "It's wonderful...... I have a lot of respect for the bachelor at the moment. ”

"Honestly, what kind of book is it?" said Anusen, who didn't believe that the scholar would read books of low interest.

"Actually, it's not a book. It's just a research note. "Mad Dog opened the thick book and showed it to everyone;" wrote the maester himself. ”

"It's just notes...... What's the point of this thing?" Lucina asked with interest in half a minute.

"That's interesting. Mad Dog turned the page again very seriously: "There are a lot of spells recorded on it......"

"Really, show me!" Lucina immediately came to her senses: "If you don't give it to me, you can rob it with a spell?"

"Mages are so unreasonable, they love to rob people's things?" Seresa tapped the cover of the thick note with her knuckles, "Lie to you, there aren't many spells on this." There are only a few simple activation spells - a mage of your level must not be too lazy to look at them. ”

"Of course!" Lucina puffed out her chest and patted her thigh excitedly, "I have a chance to show you more powerful spells." ”

"This afternoon's kind is exempt. Mad Dog tapped on the hilt of the Black Steel Sword and continued to turn the page.

"Wait, activate the spell?" Lucina suddenly reacted, "Is that note related to the study of the Mana Altar?"

"Meng's pretty accurate. Mad Dog replied briefly: "I am very interested in the whole story of this matter, so I specially borrowed notes from the key keeper of the Bachelor's relics to study." ”

The Bachelor's body is still there...... Anusen felt a little uneasy: people couldn't move the black ice. If you let it stay there, will something go wrong?

"Did you find anything?" Lucina grabbed a white snowflake and took a big bite. The juice jumped at the girl's face, and she hurriedly licked around her lips.

"Not yet. Mad Dog turned the page again with interest: "I just feel like there's a lot of nonsense written on it." ”

"If you can't understand it, won't you have it? He has studied things for ten years, and he must be very academic. The juice on Lucina's face had vanished without a trace.

"I didn't want to understand. I'm just looking for clues to verify my idea. Ceresya turned the page again.

"You're turning so fast, I'm afraid you can't find any clues. Lucina teased the mad dog, who pretended not to hear and continued to flip the pages quickly.

"Speaking of which, knight, you look pensive...... Aren't you still thinking about who gave you that amulet?" said Cereya, suddenly.

"yes, I can't think of anything!" Ranusen glared at him as he clenched his teacup, "Besides, someone doesn't help clean up the dishes." You're the only one of the four who is idle, are you sorry?"

"Of course. Seresa grinned, "Isn't that the same question I asked—you're the only one out of four who doesn't have a sweet tooth, okay?"

"These are purely two different things, okay?" Anusen didn't bother to continue arguing with him: "Full of sophistry, full of crooked reasoning." ”

"No, it's the same thing. Seresya coughed dryly, "You see, I've always felt like we're missing something in our team. ”

"What's missing?" focused on the amulet around his neck, the knight absentmindedly took a sip of the still hot tea. A tingling pain hit, and the knight who put down the teacup clashed his throat in a panic: he almost burned his throat just now.

"I didn't ...... Are you alright?" Lutha panicked, "I'm sorry I forgot to tell you it was too hot." ”

"I was careless myself. The knight thumped his chest in frustration and coughed loudly.

"Can you burn a cup of tea?, our Mr. Knight is really cautious. Seresa let out a long laugh of schadenfreude until the knight stopped coughing and glared at him in exasperation.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Mad Dog coughed dryly, "We have two Aiya and two humans in our team right now. Don't you feel that the race is too monotonous?"

"What's the matter?" the knight picked up his teacup again and blew on the hot tea.

"We're still short of miscellaneous ones. Mad Dog continued: "Isn't it serious?"

"Do some work yourself, you won't be tired. Anusen glared at the mad dog disapprovingly. Just as he wanted to continue talking, Mad Dog, who had been lying on his side on the sofa, suddenly sat up and slammed the note on the table: "Found it." ”

"Find what?" Lucina looked at in confusion.

"Evidence that proves that the bachelor's research in the past ten years is a trap. Seresa raised an eyebrow: "Someone designed all this. That stupid mana altar never existed. ”
