"Do you want to add sugar?" Angelo!" Rawls asked, pulling out a candy jar.

Angelo glanced at the candy jar that was still a little dusty and immediately rejected the kindness: "Thank you, no need!"

"How do I remember that you would never drink without sugar, did you break this habit?" Rawls said with a laugh.

Angelo said, "yes, I've been quitting sugar for years, but you just don't know it. ”

Malfoy, who was sitting next to him, was about to say something when he heard this, but was glared back by his mentor.

"I said what the hell did that poor guy out there do to you just now? Angelo was still a little curious about what had just happened. Under normal circumstances, the poor magician was seriously injured if he didn't die, and his rise unharmed made Angelo curious.

"He's an unsuccessful disciple. I don't know which of that kid's nerves is wrong, and he came to me to get the only place to go to Ye Falan for further study, and I was almost annoyed by him. Rawls was also terrified by what had just happened, and he was terrified when he threw the stool out.

"Oh, not a weapon?" asked Angelo, puzzled, "what a young man who doesn't make a weapon, looks pretty good, and he can't be useless." ”

Rawls sat down and gently stirred the coffee in his cup: "Young people are always half-hearted, and that's basically the norm. That kid wants to be a mage and a poet, how can this unrealistic idea be. According to his qualifications, if he works hard, he can become a third-rate mage or a third-rate poet, if he pursues both of them, then he is doomed to achieve nothing. ”

"Not necessarily. Angelo put down the cup in his hand, "Have you forgotten that in addition to being an unprecedentedly successful ** teacher, the model of our generation is also a bard who has left a name in history." Everything is not absolute!"

"I said, why do you like to lift the bar so much? Can that guy compare to that adult, the magician and the bard are both talented, he is not a genius with both talents at the same time, and it is a waste of life to let his interests and hobbies dictate his future. Rawls retorted to Angelo, who did not hesitate to criticize his disciples.

"Ah, maybe it's the teacher's problem. Angelo smiled with a hint of sarcasm.

Hearing this mockery, Rawls didn't want to discuss the topic anymore: "Tell me, Great Mentor Angelo, the great mage of war, what kind of wind brought you to the Cheka Town. Obviously, Rawls was quite curious about the arrival of this big man, and he knew very well that the man in front of him would definitely not come from Yefaran to visit his old friend, and besides, there was nothing good about the Cheka that was worth the big man's special trip.

Angelo picked up his glass, unprepared to answer his friend's question head-on. He took a sip of black tea and gestured to his disciple to explain his intentions.

"Professor Rawls, yes, we are here this time by secret order of the Council. Malfoy said grimly.

"The secret order of the council?" Rawls was a little surprised, "we don't have any blood mages hiding here, and we don't have any monsters that can destroy the peace of the world. What the hell are you doing here?"

After hesitating about a catastrophe that occurred hundreds of years ago, the Blood Mage became an extremely dangerous suspect wanted by the entire continent. In order to purge these traitors from the mage world, the Mage Council is more keen to hunt them down than anyone else. Therefore, once there is news of the appearance of blood mages somewhere, there will be a gathering of mages who serve in the mage council.

"Forget it, it's not a real name secret anyway, it has nothing to do with the Blood Mage!" Angelo didn't want his old friend to read too much, "I'm sure you're aware of the strange energy fluctuation that happened five days ago." ”

Rawls thought back to what had happened five days ago: "There was a while, about twenty minutes, that I noticed that the space fluctuated a little. ”

"I suspect that someone or an organization is secretly hunting in the Holy Land!" Angelo said calmly. According to the calculations of Ye Falan's relevant departments, the inexplicable fluctuation five days ago was a holy place that was completely destroyed.

However, the High Council of Mages had not received any news from around the world about the Holy Land being hunted, and after combining various factors, they deduced that it was possible that an unknown Holy Land had been destroyed.

After many calculations, they determined that the entire holy site might be located near the Cheka town. So Angelo, who was most familiar with the Cheka town, was sent here to investigate the situation.

For what Angelo said, Rawls, who had been living in the small Cheka town, fell into deep thought. He originally thought that the fluctuation was just some accidental subspace fluctuation, but he didn't expect that it would involve the hunting of the Holy Land.

After thinking for a long time, he said slowly: "I remember, when I was a child, some old people once told me that in the dense forest outside the Cheka City, there was once a god trapped in a corner of it by an evil wizard. At the time, I didn't believe it, and even when I grew up, I made a joke of this story that has been passed down from generation to generation. How could an evil wizard have such strength to seal a god, even the lowest gods. ”

After a pause, Professor Rawls continued, "Are you really convinced that the whole holy land that had just been hunted was near the Cheka town?" The old professor still didn't quite believe the whole story told by his friend, because it was too mysterious, and he couldn't believe it.

"Hey, as a magician, don't you know the strength of those old pedants in Yefaran?" Angelo reminded his friend not to despise the strength of the Mage City, "Anyway, that ghost place is not far from you, so I came to you to ask if you have any information we need." ”

"I'm sorry for that!" Rawls said with a smile, "It's likely that the place you're looking for is in that forest outside town that is full of wild goblins, and that's all I can offer." If there is any sacred place that has not yet been discovered by the world, or that has been forgotten by the world, I think that place would have been leveled by adventurers long ago. ”

Angelo agreed with his old friend's last words: "Yes, I absolutely believe that those locusts will do such a thing." These fame and fortune chasers dare to do anything, and they are even crazier than us magicians. ”

After a long absence, Angelo and Rawls talked about some interesting things from the past. The interesting topics were a little strange to Malfoy, an observer, and he learned some stories that the teacher had not told him.

Angelo suddenly realized that it was almost noon at this time, and it was not early.

"Well, that's the end of the reminiscence, Rawls. Angelo stood up and said.

"Why don't you finish your meal and leave?" said Rawls, as usual, but his best friend didn't appreciate it at all.

"Forget it, are you going to let me, the guest, cook for myself, I don't want to stay with you and nibble on dry bread!" Angelo said with a smile, "We haven't found the inn yet, so let's go." ”

"Then let's go!" said Rawls, pulling open the small wooden door that was only half of the way, and the terrible hole in the door was his handiwork.

When he walked out of the hut, Angelo deliberately touched the tattered door, and did not forget to laugh at him, only he had not changed his old habit of being angry until now.

As soon as he took two steps, Angelo suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "I said Rawls, what are you going to do about the stunned young man who is going to Yefaran in the morning?"

He suddenly remembered the question he had had before he entered the hut.

Rawls didn't expect his best friend to mention it to him before leaving: "What am I going to do? I won't let this stinky boy go to Yefaran and disgrace me! ”

"I said don't be so rigid, you can be accommodating. Angelo said, "You can let that kid try again, see if he has the strength, and if not, let him kill the heart of Ye Faran." ”

Rawls didn't care: "Do you still need to try? This is a definite fact, he has not reached the strength to go to Ye Flange for further study." ”

"Shibei Sanshu is impressed, how can you know if you don't try. Angelo found that the person in front of him probably didn't know as well as he did about his disciple on the first day he first came to this town, "You should remember that incident twenty-five years ago." If Professor Carter hadn't arranged for me to compete with you"

"Shut up, get out of here, stop preaching in front of me. This is my one-third of an acre, and it's not your turn to talk nonsense here from Yefaran. It was clear that Angelo's words brought back some bad memories for Rawls, "I know what to do. ”

Walking on the street with few pedestrians, the master and apprentice were silent for a long time.

Recalling some of Angelo's words when he went out, Malfoy, as a disciple, felt a little curious: "Teacher, why are you so interested in that magician just now?"

"Interested? Not really, but my gut tells me that guy is definitely not as simple as Rawls thinks. Angelo remembered the heavy stool again. As an excellent mage, he always paid more attention to details than his peers that ordinary people couldn't see.

"I don't believe that a scumbag mage can block a spell that throws a heavy object with his bare hands. ”
