Speaking of which Simon and Rob actually have a lot of similarities, both of them are very talented in magic, have knowledge reserves far beyond ordinary people, and often show enough calmness in critical moments, although Simon is not able to surpass someone in these aspects, but he is good enough for ordinary people, he is like a trumpet Rob, he is excellent in all aspects, but not as exaggerated as someone, so the two exchanged identities in the freshman competition before, and he was able to hold on until Rob came back without goofs.

However, it is better than the future Super Magister who will not be able to be free until he escapes from the Royal Academy of Magic of Thistle, let alone Simon, who is still tasked with the revival of the Grady family.

The reason why he went to Siamers to study, in addition to the convenience of hiding his identity, the most important reason was also to find Merlin's traces.

Compared with the north, the south, as the main activity area of the latter, naturally has more legends related to him.

Rob had studied those legends before, and found that most of the folk tales were purely invented, and the few reliable ones had been artistically processed more than once, so it took a long time for the future Wizard to determine the identity of the Fox Mask Man, but the ancient nobles who had lived through the Roland era had more information, and many of them had been working to find the existence of this legend.

Hiding in the shadows of history, Merlin is a monster who has lived for more than nine hundred years, and he has too many secrets that the nobles believe have brought him endless wealth and power, and even given him the power to destroy the world.

And from Merlin's previous attitude towards Hobson and Foreman, it can be seen that he doesn't mind sharing some of these little secrets with others at some point.

This is also the reason why quite a few people go to the Saint Laurent Brothers School of Magic every few years.

If all of this were a game, Merlin, as the game's designer and sole referee, would be happy to see a group of "players" playing under the rules he had created, and would also reward the final player at the end of the game.

However, these so-called rewards often come at a price, as Hobson 68 years ago and Foreman 23 years ago paid the price, and then they both got what they wanted, and now, it is Simon's turn.

"Actually, I'm in pretty good shape. The heir of the Grady family explained, "Thanks to you, I have a chance to make a request. ”

This is also what Rob didn't understand, and the future Ultra Magister raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you use this opportunity to revive the family?"

"Of course I don't forget my responsibility, so that's what we talked about that day, and I didn't make my request until the end, when I had fulfilled my obligations as the heir to the Grady family, so it was just a private request of mine. ”

"Oh?" Rob was genuinely surprised this time, "what makes you willing to give up your freedom?"

Simon scratched his head, "Actually, it's a pretty faceless stupid thing, when I was fifteen years old, there was a girl who liked me, I didn't know if I liked her at that time, I just thought she was in good shape, and she was very beautiful, and there were many other boys chasing her at that time, so I enjoyed the feeling of being liked by her, so I asked her to hang out with her, I remember quite clearly, she was very happy that day, and she deliberately dressed up for a long time before going out, and the other boys saw that her eyes were straight, but her eyes would always fall on me alone." ”

"That day we made an appointment to go to the mountains to pick apples, but during that time there was not much of a spy in the clan, and secretly told the killer of my whereabouts, the guy wanted to use my head to get a reward from Lehart VII, and then she was injured trying to protect me, although she finally saved her life, but her cheek was cut by a dagger, and the dagger was coated with the sap of the poisonous fire tree, which corroded her whole face, I went to many doctors afterwards, but they were helpless, the priest of the temple told me that her face was too badly injured, even the magic could not be recovered, she heard the news and locked herself in her room and cried every day, I was a little annoyed, just tell her what are you afraid of, I'm not an irresponsible man, if you really become ugly, no one wants me to marry you. ”

"Now think about how I was ...... It's really a pretty idiot person, I didn't expect this sentence to hurt her a lot, and I even felt good about myself at the time, and I felt that I was very angry, and she really didn't cry anymore after that, I thought she was happy to marry me, but it didn't take long for her to leave a letter to me and then she didn't say goodbye, in the letter she said that she really liked me, so she didn't want me to be embarrassed for her, to be able to forget her, to find someone she really likes to live happily. ”

Simon paused, and said calmly, "My request is very simple, as long as that guy can find her and help me heal the wound on her face, I will have no regrets, and I can serve him wholeheartedly." ”

"Do you still like that girl?"

Simon shook his head, "I won't see her again, I've almost forgotten what it's like to be with her after all these years, and besides, it's no good for her to stay with me, and I'm sure I'll encounter all kinds of dangers in the future, and I won't be willing to sell my life twice if it happens again, so just knowing that she's living well somewhere in this world is enough for me." After saying this, he raised his head and looked at Rob on the side, and said with a serious expression, "And idols, you have to be careful of that guy too." ”

"Huh?"

"He came to me a week ago to ask about you, and seemed very interested in you, including your usual behavior at school, your bakery, your relationships, and where you came from, and he specifically asked me how you behaved on the night of the attack on Motellis, but I didn't say anything. ”

His Excellency the future Ultra Magister is not surprised by this, especially after the two sides meet, the fox masked man will definitely try his best to find out his details, if he was alone before, and he has to protect Luo Luo, I am afraid that it will not be long before the other party will discover his true identity, but now with the help of D'Ardarion, the power of the Wizard Association can be used to hide him better, even Merlin can't figure out his background for a while.
