The term "black magic book" was something Xu Mu had heard about when he was pretending to be an earl's guard at Ailu's house, but he didn't particularly care about the importance of the word.

Seeing Xu Mu's puzzled face, Ai Lu sighed and gently wiped his tears with his hands: "Xu Mu, do you know, when I first met you, my plan was to return to the fiefdom to seek death. ”

"Looking for death?" Xu Mu was stunned.

"Yes. Ai Lu smiled bitterly, "This black magic book is something that my family has hidden for decades and has not dared to use, or even dare not let it be published. Originally, the plan was to come to the fiefdom, and if you really retrieved it for me, then I would destroy this black magic book, but I think about it again... My family was killed by the kingdom in the fief, so if I return to the fief and die, it can be regarded as a return to the roots..."

"That's why you say you don't want all the treasures in the secret room? That's why you don't want them?"

Ai Lu nodded: "That's right, I already had a plan to seek death at that time, since I begged for death, it was naturally useless for me to keep these treasures, so I used them as commissions." ”

"What if I didn't find this magic book for you?" Xu Mu took a deep breath and asked, "You are also looking for death?"

"Yes. If you don't get this book of black magic, I'll cancel the magic contract with you, and I'll find a place next to the fiefdom..."Irlu sniffled and didn't continue, "Sleta said she was a child with nothing... I'm not a person who doesn't have anything anymore. ”

Ai Lu took a deep breath, turned to look at the dark distance, and sighed: "Some words can be said to you, and they are really good... Xu Mu, what do you think it's like to have it anymore?"

Xu Mu shook his head after thinking about it.

"It's loneliness. It's the feeling of loneliness, you should have felt this way, although you are stronger than me, your beliefs are firmer than mine, and your actions are more persistent than mine, but I believe that you have also been lonely, and that feeling is really suffocating..."Ai Lu felt the wind sweeping around, and quietly wept again, "I don't have anything anymore, I have no relatives, I have no home, I have no friends... There's no place in this world for me to go... Xu Mu, do you know? After I heard that something had happened to my family, I desperately tried to escape from the magic academy, I really felt so lonely, nothing belonged to me, and I didn't have anything anymore..."

"Even the wind began to walk around me..."

Xu Mu was distressed, stretched out his hand wrapped in the medicine cloth and put it on Ai Lu's head, comforting: "Then you... Do you still want to die?"

"No!" Ai Lu turned his head, his eyes seemed to reveal hatred: "Originally, before returning to the fiefdom, I planned to do so. But after you saved Sreta from Gothtown, I thought it was strange that you were such a cold and ruthless guy on the surface, why did you reach out to Sretta? But Celetta told me privately that you are a gentle and kind person, and I also got along with you this month, so I understand what kind of bastard you are. ”

"Praise me and praise me, don't praise me and scold me. Xu Mu had a surprisingly apologetic smile on his face.

"Regardless of whether you can bring the Dark Magic Book back this time, I don't pray for this anymore, I have been praying and meditating every moment for the past three days, just hoping that you will come back safely... Then I want to follow you, and I'll go wherever you go... Although you are a bastard, but you..."Speaking of this, Ailu seemed to feel wronged, and cried again.

Xu Mu pulled Ai Lu closer to his arms and apologized seriously: "I'm sorry." ”

"No...!I'm the one who should say I'm sorry. Ai Lu still didn't stop crying in Xu Mu's arms, but felt the warmth on Xu Mu's body, and cried even louder: "I know that this book shouldn't be taken, and I know that it's dangerous for you to hold the book, but I, but I...!I obviously know that it's a very dangerous thing, but I still don't say a word to let you go, I can obviously terminate this commission! Xu Mu, do you know? I stayed alone in the back for three days, I was really scared..."

Xu Mu listened to Ai Lu say so many words in his heart, the unsmoothness in his heart had long since disappeared, and now he only felt guilty in his heart, in fact, for such a month, Sleta has been by her side since she noticed Ai Lu's uneasiness, and Xu Mu himself knew that Ai Lu was wrong, but he didn't take the initiative to care about her.

Xu Mu self-righteously thought that Ai Lu was just afraid of returning to the fiefdom.

"Ailu, in fact, when you first commissioned me, I felt uneasy in my heart, but for the so-called treasure you said, I chose to accept it. However, after a month with you, the uneasiness caused by the strange commission was also dispelled by the month of our relationship, and even when I set off with Sreta three days ago, I still didn't feel strange. ”

Ai Lu has already said a lot, if Xu Mu chooses not to say a word, it will be his mistake.

"But when I inquired about your house and the strange actions of the Count of the town, I was curious that Count Ollie had the same goals as me, and that they were searching for your treasures. Xu Mu touched Ai Lu's head, "I didn't think much about it at the time. However, when he succeeded in infiltrating your house, he learned that the king and the count were very obsessed with the black magic book you were talking about! ”

"I thought it was strange at the time, but the uncomfortable feeling crept through me. Xu Mu grabbed Ai Lu's soft shoulders, he looked at Ai Lu's beautiful face seriously and said: "One question after another is raging in my mind...!Doesn't Ai Lu know the importance of this book? Does Ai Lu really not know anything? Why does he know that this magic book is so important, so important that the king can't help but kill the nobles he gave the title, just to get such a book! Why does Ai Lu know this, but he doesn't tell me anything?"

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry," Eloh cried and apologized, "I'm so scared, scared that if I say it, you'll end this commission with me, and then you'll leave me with Sleta... I really, really don't want to, I..."

Xu Mu held Ai Lu in his arms again, and said gently: "It's okay, it's okay... It's all gone. ”

Sometimes people are so strange, they choose to hide because they are afraid of losing, but many times they always lose because they hide it.

It's great that the two of them can talk to each other thoroughly.

The matter has come to this point, and now the three-person team has escaped from the town, although the journey has been difficult for a month, and there has been a bitter battle in the end, but now the three of them are still alive together.

The mustard in Xu Mu's heart was also unraveled, Ai Lu was a kind girl after all, she blamed herself for her concealment, and prayed to herself every day and night in the forest, even if Xu Mu and Sleta didn't bring her anything back, even if the commission failed, she wanted the two of them to come back safely.

Sleta is not a perfect child, because she has been bullied for too long, so she doesn't want to be bullied again, even if she pretends to bully others, she will be repaid.

Ai Lu is not a completely kind person, because she has lost too much, so she is unwilling to lose again, even if this is the original agreement between the two, she would rather conceal the facts and blame herself than Xu Mu to leave her.

Feeling the sobbing soft body in his arms, Xu Mu, who now knows the whole process, if he returns to the scene where he first met Ailu and Sresta, ask him if he will still accept the commission and save Sresta?

The answer is yes, Xu Mu will still choose to accept Ailu's commission, and he will still choose to save Sresta, but he hopes that he can do better.

Everyone should find progress in continuous growth, not only Sleta and Ailu, but also Xu Mu.

The two hugged each other for a long time, and they didn't continue to talk until Ai Lu cried out the pressure and sadness in his heart.

After listening to Ai Lu's explanation to Xu Mu, I realized that magic also has a narrow sense and a broad sense.

In a narrow sense, magic is divided into seven systems.

In a broad sense, there are two types of magic, one called white magic and the other called black magic.

The seven systems of magic that are now in the magic academy books are all white magic.

Because the seven systems of magic communicate with natural factors through magic seals, and then resonate and pray for the origin of magic, and then cast magic.

But black magic is different, black magic is not only through the magic seal to release magic, the way of black magic casting spells can be described as strange, there are Gu release, there are blood sacrifices, there are curses, there are also scrolls... The whole nine yards!

The way the dark magic is cast is strange enough, and most of the effects of the dark magic are extremely weird.

For example, pathogenicity, confusion, enslavement...

Destroying this feature is nothing in the dark arts.

However, all the countries in this world have issued official documents saying that the use of black magic is forbidden!

Ironically, however, the greatest form of dark magic circulating in this world is the slave contract.

Obviously, it is forbidden to use black magic, but the slave contract itself is a kind of black magic, which is the black magic that guarantees allegiance by extracting the spirit of the slave through the book runes, which can be described as weird.

However, the benefits behind this slave contract are enormous, and it is rumored that the taxes on the sale of slaves on the surface have reached 30% of the tax revenue in a certain kingdom!

And the dark magic books that the Ailu family has hidden for a long time are like nuclear bombs.

Obviously, all kingdoms are strict and superficial, and the use of black magic is forbidden.

However, the royal families of each kingdom are extremely interested in black magic.

I can do without, but I can't do without!

Possessing powerful black magic gives you the right to speak in the authority of the state, which is the same as the nuclear bomb theory.

And the black magic book in Ailu's arms now depicts no less than 30 black magic prayer spells, which can be described as amazing! It is no wonder that the king did not hesitate to kill and snatch this black magic book.

Ai Lu has now retrieved the black magic book, and she originally planned to destroy it directly and prevent this black magic book from coming out, but she was stopped by Xu Mu.

In Xu Mu's words, the magic itself is right, and the question depends on who performs it.

The seven systems of magic are collectively known as white magic, but are there still fewer people killed by white magic?

Xu Mu finally persuaded Ai Lu to let Ai Lu keep this book, not because he liked the magic in it, but because he felt that this book would be of great use value in the future, and Ai Lu and Xu Mu would be a good thing if they used it well.

As for this 'nuclear bomb', whether Xu Mu and Ai Lu can protect it well is another matter.
