I saw the little guy coquettishly "whoop~", and then his whole body rolled up in a ball, and he actually fell asleep on Rodlis's leather boots!

The magician watched the scene in front of him in amazement, and he pinched his face with his left hand, grinning in pain, and the real touch of his feet made him even more convinced.

"It's... Isn't this a hallucination?!" Rodrith showed an expression of disbelief, he really couldn't imagine that the owner with such a pair of strange red eyes was actually a wolf cub with an innocent looking face?!

The magician suddenly realized something, and immediately looked around at the scene, and he was surprised to find that the dense red dots that had been dense before had turned green at this moment!

"What the hell is going on?!" Rodrith's heart began to beat faster, and he gasped for air, suggesting that he had to calm down.

The magician stared at the green point of light in front of him, and his fear did not subside because of the appearance of the wolf cub just now, but only intensified.

He looked down at the sleeping wolf cub, and a sense of foreboding ran in his heart - maybe the young wolf was just a bait to let his guard down, and the light still hidden in the darkness was the real terrible thing.

Just as Rodrith was in doubt, the "hissing" sound around him began to get louder and louder, and it woke up the sleeping wolf cubs.

The wolf cub seemed angry, and began to howl loudly at the light spots in the bushes, but the whining sound was really not intimidating.

"Huh?" Rodrith saw the light in the bushes shake violently, and they all disappeared in an instant!

The magician originally thought that the young wolf was deliberately disguised as cute, but he didn't expect that it was actually just a wild young wolf.

"It seems that the things in this place cannot be speculated by common sense. Rodlis remembered the choice he had made at the fork in the road, and he had come to this conclusion.

Rhodelis noticed that the atmosphere around him had eased considerably, and the strange sounds that had existed before were gone.

The wolf cub bared its white fangs and continued to howl deep into the trees.

The magician leaned down and half-knelt on the ground. Seeing this, the wolf cub walked a few steps away and ran up to him again.

"But what is this little fellow going to do?" said Rodrith, caressing the little thing's furry head.

The young wolf licked the back of the magician's hand with affection, its gray tail quivering slightly.

The tickling touch made him laugh, and his original depression was suddenly swept away.

Rodris stretched out his hands and gently hugged the wolf cub in front of his eyes, and his cute little short legs kept kicking and whining. The young wolf's scarlet eyes looked a little scary, but Rodrith seemed to feel the little one's affection, and he didn't feel afraid.

The magician placed the wolf cub on his shoulder and patted it on the soft back.

"It's time to get on the road. Rodlis looked at the darkness ahead, but there was a hint of courage in his heart.

Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly felt dizzy in front of him, and he saw that the scenery around him was rapidly retreating, and it turned out that his body was out of balance, and he fell to the ground with a "bang~".

——

Grande, Prime Minister's Office.

The visitor's study was filled with several large bookshelves, filled with heavy magic books. In the center of the study is a round mahogany table with everyday objects such as magic scrolls and mythril paper.

The charcoal of the fireplace burned weakly, the faint flame was about to be extinguished, and there was a dark smell wafting through the room.

Merlin was taking a book from the shelf and flipping through it in his hand—the quaint case and the portrait on the title page were Assassin's Creed!

Merlin carefully caressed the clean pages, and couldn't help but feel a faint sadness in his heart.

"Edward, should I hand it over to you myself?" said the magician to himself, placing Assassin's Creed on the wooden table, accidentally touching the Mithril paper on the edge, and falling to the wooden floor with a "pop!"

Merlin only smiled slightly, he had never taken these trivial matters to heart. Perhaps it was his informal style of acting that led to the current tragic end. People have never needed a prime minister who doesn't know how to work, let alone a dangerous guy who studies dark arts.

When Merlin first took office, he was supported by most of the common people of Grande, calling him the greatest magician of all time.

The supreme power and glory are all in one, and the limelight is unmatched for a while. Caesar was still close to him at the time, so naturally he would not be jealous of his reputation overshadowing him.

He looked up at the dreamy flowers swaying in the wind in the courtyard outside the window, but unfortunately it was the middle of winter and had lost its original beauty.

"Chancellor—uh, Lord Merlin, are we really going to move out?" a maid knocked on the door, entered the study, and bowed deeply to the magician.

"Wait, let me read this book one last time, maybe I won't use it again. Merlin sighed as he said this, his eyes full of sorrow.

"Yes, sir. The maid agreed, walked out of the study, turned and slowly closed the door.

Merlin picked up Assassin's Creed on the table, flipped through the previously marked page in his hand, and read the text carefully.

"Today, at the recommendation of Mr. Saladin, I was fortunate enough to accept the epic mission issued by the Brotherhood - to go on an adventure to kill a rare magical pet, take out its magic crystal, and hand it over to the Church of Light.

The conditions of the mission were extremely harsh: the target's magical pet would only show up when it was alone, so I had to go to the adventure site alone, and Mr. Saladin gave me information about the mission before leaving. ”

Merlin quickly swept over the long list of thoughts below and turned a new page.

He found that the checklist-like page contained a detailed description of the mission's requirements.

Mission Level: Epic

Mandated by: Church of the Light

Mission Location and Objectives: Kill the Storm Wolf, a rare magical pet infested in the southern suburbs of the adventure, and take out the Beast Crystal from its body.

Merlin stopped at this point, recalling in his mind that it had happened two years after Edward had joined the Brotherhood, when he had only just stepped into the ranks of the first-class Assassins.

Although Edward is the worst of the adventure squads, he has put in a lot more sweat than the three. He didn't have Brandon's talent to be proud of, Merlin's innate affinity for magic, and Caesar's extraordinary leadership skills were beyond his reach.

Therefore, Edward could only make up for his innate deficiencies with several times the sweat of others, but after ten years passed, this young assassin had become one of the strongest martial artists in the continent - Juggernaut!
