Lucius and Barred stood in front of a magic laboratory on the seventeenth floor, this is the laboratory of Marosas, most of the ** masters who are studying in the Mage Tower will have their own laboratories, but the two of them are very puzzled why Herrick is obviously not compatible with Marosas, how can this laboratory be reserved for him.

Lucius raised his hand to knock on the door, but they opened it by themselves, and the old mage's voice came from inside. "Come in, there's no one else but me. ”

Lucius stood in the doorway, still hesitating. "What does he mean by that, is it implying that we can make some deal with him?"

"You'll know when you get in, let's go!" Barred had already walked through the door, and seeing Lucius still standing where he was, he had to retreat again. "It's really troublesome, and you have to pretend that I'm your subordinate. ”

Lucius subconsciously touched the sword in his robe and walked in.

Malosas gestured to the side seat. "Sit down, you two, I'm afraid our conversation will go on for a while. ”

Barred stared at the old mage warily. "Let's stand. ”

Malosas waved his hand, and the door closed again. "Didn't Adeline tell you that you were safe in the Mage Tower?"

"Adeline, what does this have to do with her?" a bad feeling flashed through Bared's mind.

"Hahahaha. Malosas sat down in his chair. "Adeline's defeat of the Demon in Paradeth and the resolution of the crisis have been widely spread in the Mage's Tower, and she is now proud, but I know she did it with your help. ”

Barred let out a long sigh. "How do you know? You're not there. ”

I asked the guards who were with her. Marosas said slowly, "In the face of the inquiry of the ** division, they didn't dare to hide it. ”

"What else do you know?" Lucius pretended to be calm.

Marosas looked at Lucius. "I also know of two young men who broke into my testing site, were arrested by me, and then fled. ”

"If that person is really you, why would you do that?" Lucius suddenly raised his voice.

The old mage's cheek twitched. "If I said I was there to deal with the Dark Tide, would you believe me?"

Lucius and Barred blurted out at the same time. "Believe, why not?"

"Hahaha. Marosas laughed again, "You don't pretend to be like anything else, no one will believe me." ”

"We really believe it!" Lucius said firmly, again adamantly, knowing that they had to be persuaded to continue their plan, or it would be a dead end.

Marosas waved his hand and stood up from his chair. "I know you're coming to me, and of course I know what you're coming to me for, so why don't we make a deal?"

"What deal?" Lucius asked cautiously.

Malosas raised his right hand, and several flames erupted in the air, enveloping the two men. "As the prince of Dayton, you have financed me to continue my research on the magic of summoning werewolves, and in return, I will spare you. ”

"Gone?" Lucius pretended to bargain with Marosas, though he knew that he and Barred had no choice but to agree.

"Do you have any other options? Look at these flames, they can consume you in an instant. Marosas shook his hand, the encirclement of the flames was smaller, and both Barred and Lucius felt the scorching heat.

Barred remained unmoved. "In the Mage Tower, you don't dare to do anything to us. ”

Malosas sneered, and the flames vanished. "You're right, but you're always going to leave the Mage's Tower, are you flying back to Durham?"

"Aren't you afraid that we'll tell Herrick about your crimes?" Lucius looked at the old mage coldly.

"Hahahaha!" this time Malosas laughed even more arrogantly. "Do you think Herrick doesn't know? He actually knows everything, and he's just sending Adeline to investigate, pretending not to know, so that he doesn't get in my way. ”

"What?!" both Lucius and Barred were taken aback. "Why is this happening?"

Malosas slowly paced back and forth in front of the two men. "Do you think it's just a coincidence that the demons have been appearing so frequently lately? they're exploring the way for a large army, and they're trying to see if the strength of humanity has changed in the years since the last Darktide War. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Barred had already guessed the answer, but asked anyway.

Malozas was still walking back and forth. "You're all smart people, and you can guess without me that Herrick actually turned a blind eye to my research because of this. ”

"Then Adeline, she ......," Barred wondered if Marosas knew about Adeline and his plans.

"She's just a mage, and even if she knew, it wouldn't be a danger to me. Marosas' answer relieved Bared. "Well, have you thought about it?"

"Wait. Lucius continued, "In that case, why didn't Herrick agree to your application?"

Marosas snorted impatiently. "How could he, a hypocrite, agree? But in fact he relied entirely on my research. ”

"And what if I don't say yes?" Lucius thought for a moment.

Malosas spread his hands. "Then you will be wiped out, and worse, when the next Darktide War comes, the lives will be destroyed, countless people will die in that war, and at worst, Wallis will cease to exist. ”

Lucius and Barred glanced at each other. "I'll have to think about it, so let's go back to Durham first, and I'll give you an answer with a raven. ”

Marosas almost fell. "As far as I know, you will leave here tomorrow, and you must give me an answer before you leave tomorrow, or there will be two more bodies on the road from Chavanna to Dayton. ”

"Oh, yes? Okay. Lucius said casually, turning and walking towards the door.

"I'm not kidding, Your Highness the Prince, please think about it. Marosas walked over to the desk and ignored the two men.

Lucius and Barred leaned against the guardrail by the walkway, looking at the indoor garden below, and Barred didn't seem worried. "We'll promise him first, and we'll regret it when we get to Durham. ”

"That's not going to work, it's undermining the prestige of the royal family, and we certainly can't say that he repented because he was studying evil magic. Lucius shook his head.

Barred thought for a moment, then nodded approvingly. "Indeed, the Mage Tower is also very prestigious in Wallis, even more so than any other kingdom, and when the time comes, both sides will have their own opinions, and it is really hard to say who everyone will believe. ”

The more Lucius thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he punched the guardrail. "Hell, I didn't expect this to happen to me the first time I came in place of my father. ”

"You brought it on yourself, and it's no such thing as walking from the village of Ikan. Barred glanced at him disdainfully. "Now we have to go to Adeline and Ilsutia, we need their help. ”

"Are you sure? they're also from the Mage Tower, so it's good if you don't betray us. Lucius looked downstairs to Ilsutia's room. "Adeline has hurt us more than once. ”

Barreid's hand rested on Lucius' shoulder. "Those are small things, in this matter, they will help us, trust me!"

Lucius shrugged, and the two of them walked towards Ilsutia's room.
