"It's easy to say, but I've almost taken out all the runes and experimented with them, even if I remove the runes that don't match each other in my mind, there is a lot of work, and what will happen to the direction of the deduced spiritual power, until I have a complete grasp of it, I will draw this wind technique. Clive warned in advance: "Remember that you must deduce completely before you can paint, otherwise it will cause a lot of damage to your mental power." ”

"Next, I'm teaching you some tips for drawing compound formations, as well as some rules, otherwise even if you understand the principle, you won't know how to study compound formations. ”

Valen replied solemnly, and this is the beginning of today's lesson.

Charles was about to go back to the dormitory after class, and to Charles's surprise, there was a person standing at the door of the dormitory, and when he saw his figure coming over, he said with a humble smile: "Is it Lord Charles?"

"I am, you are ······" Charles looked the man up and down, remembering if he had seen the man.

"I am a subordinate of An Shounong's mansion, and Lord An Shounong has something to discuss with Lord Charles, so I specially sent a villain to invite me. The man bowed and replied.

"Lord An Shounon?" Charles was stunned, he had never seen Lord An Shounon at all, why would he invite him?

Charles, of course, had no reason to refuse, and followed the man in a carriage to An Shounon's house.

To Charles's surprise, the home of Lord An Shounon, the first virtuous minister of the empire, was not much different from the usual slightly wealthy family, with a little greenery on both sides of the aisle, and fish playing in the lake looking full of life, and in front of Charles was An Shounon's living room.

"Please wait a moment, my master will be there soon. With that, the servant left the living room.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I've been neglecting too many things these days. From behind, a disheveled old man walked out quickly, looking like he had just woken up, with an indentation on his face, and the indentation should have fallen asleep when he couldn't support it when he was working. is worthy of being the first minister, and he really has a lot of opportunities.

"Meet Lord An Shounon, of course the students know that there are many things to do, and there will be no trace of dissatisfaction in their hearts, but the students have some doubts in their hearts about the matter of adults inviting students to come, is there anything that students can help?" Charles got up and asked.

"Sit down, don't be restrained, don't call me Lord An Shounong, just call me An Shounong, I will also call you Charles, so that you and I are more comfortable. An Shounong didn't consciously tidy up his clothes at all, smiled and sat on the seat and said, in recent days, because of the news brought back by Plit, things have become a little more, just now I fell asleep on the table for two hours, and I don't think I have to sleep anymore today.

"Yes, An Shounon, what's the matter?" Charles asked.

"Actually, I came to you because I wanted to discuss some things with you, such as your opinion of the underground research institute, or what you thought of that weirdo, and talk freely, whether it was right or wrong. An Shounong said with a smile.

Charles was still puzzled when he heard this, but since An Shounong made a request, Charles would naturally do it.

“······ That's what I think of the Underground Institute, and to put it mildly, I don't agree with the so-called monster invasion alchemist escape, but it seems that there is only one explanation. Charles said, looking at An Shounon.

An Shounong's expression remained unchanged, making Charles a little confused, not knowing whether what he said was right or wrong, so he could only continue to speak.

"The weird guy I think it's very likely to be related to the alchemist, and he should have attacked Mingda to cover up something, but although Mingda is an acquaintance of mine, he didn't say anything about this matter, and I was embarrassed to ask. ”

"I've asked the guild to help investigate this matter, and I've gotten the news that someone you know has committed suicide. ”

An Shounong suddenly said a shocking fact, Charles was stunned for a moment before suddenly getting up and exclaiming, "Impossible!" However, after thinking about it again, Charles slumped in his seat and muttered, "No, it's not impossible, but it's too likely." ”

An Shounong said: "This is not your reason, it can only be said that even if this matter is mentioned to the nearest guild or the Ministry of Civil Law, it will not be taken seriously, and even if it is valued, can they resist the people who need two magicians and a martial artist to repel it? ”

Charles had a loss in his heart, and some unwillingness, if he had been... No, it was already an established impression in my mind, and it was impossible to think of anything else, let alone what a man might be besides a robber.

The sadness of Mingda's death is probably just out of respect for the deceased, and there are some guilt that I didn't think of, after all, the two just have a two-sided relationship.

"After the inspection of the Ministry of Civil Law, it can be determined that Mingda really committed suicide, and even the suicide note was written by himself at home, because he betrayed his wife and committed suicide due to guilt. ”

"It's impossible!" said Charles, "and I can see from my usual interactions that Mingda has a deep affection for his wife, and how can a person who always puts his wife and children first be the one who would do such a thing?"

"So you don't accept this answer?" An Shounong asked, the smile on his face deeper.

"Of course it can't be accepted. Charles blurted out.

"Then how about you go and seek the truth?" An Shounong proposed, which suddenly made Charles open his mouth, and his mind was instantly blocked as if he couldn't think and asked, "An Shounong, what does it mean that I go to seek the truth?"

"Charles, what do you think of this country?" An Shounong's sudden seriousness made Charles at a loss, and he said, "It's not bad." ”

"But I'm telling you, this country is sick, will you believe it?" said Ahn Shounon, looking at Charles with a gleam in his eyes.

Charles had a sense of foreboding, feeling as if he was about to step into a whirlpool, and he would never be able to get out again, Charles didn't want to do this, so he replied: "Lord Anshounon, can I leave?" I am very tired from the day's study at school, and I want to go back to the dormitory to recover as soon as possible to face the next day's study. ”

An Shounong didn't speak, his face was calm without a trace of anger, and he looked at Charles quietly, while Charles kept bowing his head slightly, counting the invisible grains of dust under his feet.

An Shounong suddenly smiled: "Okay, then I won't keep you, if there is anything you can ask me, my questions will always stay here and wait for you." ”

Charles took his leave. Charles took his leave, turned around and left the farmhouse without looking back.

An Shounong had already expected Charles's refusal, and Charles's secret observation could also see that Charles's temperament was tranquil and quiet, but even if there was a person with excellent brains and good strength, An Shounong really didn't meet one, what he needed was an assistant who could advance and retreat, not a martial artist who was invincible in the world, so that the cause could not be found, it would only make the cause more hidden.

An Shounong's expression remained unchanged, he picked up the teacup beside him, looked at the direction Charles left, and put it into his mouth.

"Phew, why is it yesterday's tea, it's hard to drink. ”

Charles sat in the carriage, looking at the quiet and peaceful scene outside, but he couldn't be happy in his heart, and the 'sickness' that An Shounong said had been circling in his head for a long time.

"I'm just a student, why would I encounter such a thing?" Charles said with a wry smile.

Charles, who returned to the dormitory, lay on the bed weakly, and really didn't want to move at all.

"Charles, what's wrong with you?" said Valen, who was happy to come back from a date, and saw Charles's tiredness and concern.

"It's okay, it's just that I'm tired of drawing formations in class, you definitely didn't come back so late because Clive studied for a long time, right, and went out with Helena again?"

Valen nodded shyly and suddenly asked, "How do you know that Clive and I have reconciled?"

"Didn't you notice that your title was Mr. Clive?" said Charles.

Valen nodded, no longer surprised by Charles's keen awareness, and sat on the bed and said interesting news to Charles: "Charles, do you know, it is said that there is a teacher to transfer from the earth magic teacher to teach new students." ”

"Oh, so what?"

"She is said to be beautiful and young, and many of my classmates seem to worship her as a goddess in their hearts. Valen said expectantly.

"Oh, aren't you afraid that Helena will be jealous if you expect this from a teacher who has nothing to do with you?" said Charles, who reluctantly bred up, even though the brain kept transmitting a message to himself was sleep.

Charles mentioned Helena Valen's expression was obviously a little uncomfortable, and he thought for a while and said, "It's okay not to tell her?"

"Valen, you seem to have forgotten, you are now the best among the freshmen, a genius magician, and the first year of high school may not be familiar with you wherever you go, but no one in the same grade knows you, as long as it reaches Helena's ears, don't blame me for not reminding you. Charles began to meditate, training can not be slack, as long as one day lazy then his persistence will be irreparable, this is the lesson Charles learned before, no matter how tired he is now, he will persevere.
