"Little one, was it a surprise to see me?"

Gandalf saw the look of surprise on Duke's face, and said with a playful expression on his face, without the slightest anger or excitement that he felt when he was locked up in a dungeon.

After Duke heard this, he quickly returned to normal, and said in a normal tone: "It is indeed a bit unexpected, but the accident in my heart is different from what you imagined. ”

"Little guy, it seems that your psychological quality is very good, aren't you afraid in the face of the evil dark mage?"

When he heard this, Duke couldn't help but smile on his face, he had experienced such magical things as traveling to the Middle Ages, what was it to see a dark mage Too young, too simple?

"Don't underestimate me, Gandalf. ”

Duke's performance surprised Gandalf very much, ordinary people almost avoid hearing the title of evil mage, this young man is not only not afraid, but vaguely exudes a kind of excitement, which is really a little strange.

"Young man, what are you doing here?"

Perhaps because Duke had exceeded Gandalf's expectations, he had called him a young man instead of the contemptuous address of the little one.

"Recruit you to become the chief mage of the Lord of Stormcastle!"

If Duke was just a little surprised by Gandalf before, now it can be described as surprise, this little guy must have lost his mind and said such things?

I saw Gandalf laugh loudly at this time: "Young man, I am the great enemy in the eyes of the Holy See, a dark mage full of evil, aren't you afraid that recruiting me will save my life?"

"I'm afraid, but if I let the Holy See know that I have more evil thoughts and don't make some preparations, I guess I'll die faster. ”

After hearing this, Gandalf immediately stopped the smile on his face and asked in a gloomy tone, "You are also a heretic?"

"No, on the contrary, I think I have the truth in my hands, and the Holy See is heretical!" replied Duke, firmly.

This sentence made Gandalf excited, and even said in an excited tone: "Interesting! Today is really interesting, my evil mage Gandalf finally saw a man who was more rampant than me, and dared to judge the Holy See as a heretic! Young man, you are very much in line with my temper!"

"But there's one thing, why do you think I'll be hired by you and get me out of this place, a little lord of Stormcastle?"

"The enemy of the enemy has the possibility of being friends, so the two of us are on the same front. In addition, I know that magic materials are expensive, and I have a big deal, as long as I make money, I can support your wanton magic experiments in the future. The most important thing is, Gandalf, would you like to stay in this dark dungeon forever?"

Gandalf didn't reply, a pair of eyes stared at Duke, and a surging momentum rushed towards him, and even the divine punishment chains on his body began to flash the light of runes!

Duke looked at Gandalf's eyes without fear, he really wanted to win over Gandalf, but he didn't make up anything to win over Gandalf, because the truth of science will always shine supremely!

"Your Excellency, you have successfully convinced me, and I am willing to accept your recruitment!"

The corners of Duke's mouth rose slightly, when he entered the society, a senior human resources manager told him that the first element of recruitment cooperation is to know what you need with the other party, so that you can have a foundation. And Duke knew what Gandalf needed, and that was rebellion and freedom!

Gandalf's entry was an easy one, and both sides took what they wanted, but now another problem came to the fore, and that was how to get Gandalf out of the Inquisition dungeon.

"Gandalf, if I can break the chains of divine punishment, will you be able to escape yourself?"

"No problem, if it weren't for the cardinal's own trap, I wouldn't have been caught by the Holy See. But I'm curious, how do you break this thumb-thick chain, there are runes that seal magic and fighting spirit on it, and you can only rely on your physical strength, and there is no way to break it. ”

The Divine Punishment Chain is a special tool used by the Holy See to detain magicians and swordsmen, and its main function is that there are runes on it, which can prevent magic and fighting spirit from running, and in addition, it is similar to ordinary shackles, and there is nothing special.

Faced with Gandalf's question, Duke only replied lightly: "There is something called science in this world, and there is a principle called labor-saving leverage in science. ”

With that, Duke casually removed the latch of the door behind him, then removed his belt and wet it with the kettle in his cell. After doing all this, Duke threaded the wet belt through the two holes in the chain, then the latch through the wet belt and began to rotate slowly.

I saw a miraculous scene happen, as the wet belt gradually tightened, the opening between the two locks of the iron chain was slowly broken, and finally the divine punishment chain broke from it.

Gandalf was stunned by this scene, and he could not imagine this little fellow, so he used a wet belt and the latch on the iron door to twist the lock of the thumb-thick iron chain, which he could not understand.

"How the hell is this done?" Gandalf still couldn't believe his eyes.

This is the truth of science. Duke pretended to be mysterious, without much explanation, and sometimes it wasn't a bad thing to be mysterious.

"Gandalf, you're free, it's time for us to do something important, sign a magical contract. ”

This world has a magic contract other than a paper contract, and once two parties sign a magic contract, if one of them violates it, they will be attacked by the magic element. Gandalf is such a powerful being, Duke can't believe his promise, just don't lure the wolf into the house when the time comes. Only when you sign a magic contract can you truly be your own chief magician!

Gandalf, who had not had time to rejoice, heard this, and said in a gloomy tone: "Little one, you are an insult to the integrity of a magician. ”

"No, it's just a guarantee for the bottom line of morality!" Duke replied with a smile on his face, he wouldn't back down on this kind of thing.

As they looked at each other, a burning sensation began to come through the air, and Duke saw that the remaining chains on Gandalf's body had turned red, and even began to drip of molten iron. It's Gandalf's threat, and it also makes Duke see the magic of magic.

"Young man, you won. ”

Gandalf eventually chose to regress, not because of his discipline and integrity, but because of Duke's scientific truths and his rampant attitude towards the Holy See, which made him curious and appreciative.

The two of them completed the signing of the magic contract in the dungeon, and when they saw those magical points of light in the air entering the bodies of both parties, Duke once again felt the magic of magic, which was completely different from the energy system on Earth.

"Remember your vows, I await your arrival at the castle. ”

After Duke said this, he turned around and pushed the door open, leaving Gandalf with a dashing back.
