The aroma of black tea echoed in the living room, Yulian put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at Ofaril beside him with a hint of a funny smile, although she maintained a good upbringing, sitting beside her in an extremely upright posture, but from the confusion in her eyes and the hands tightly grasping the hem of her skirt, it could be seen that this princess's heart was far less calm than she appeared.

In fact, just as Yuren guessed, since he walked into the living room, Ofariel's brain has been running at high speed, trying to sort out the relationship between the people in front of him, judging from the situation in front of him, the two girls obviously know Yuren, but their names are a little confusing, with long white hair, it seems that the slightly older girl calls Yuren her brother, and the girl with dark hair calls Yuren her father, and the two of them are called sisters, even if you ignore the ages of these two girls, these names in front of you are enough to give O'Fariel quite a headache, but this is just Yuren's housework, Ofaril is not a gossip woman, so naturally she will not put too much thought into such boring details. And what caught her attention the most was the self-introduction of the two girls when they reported to Yulian before.

Captain of the Knights.

Even O'Fariel, who is not familiar with military affairs, knows what kind of position this is, the head of the knights is the commander of a knight order, but the knights are the backbone of a country, and those who can serve as the head of the regiment must not be ordinary people. Just like the three major knights of the Westster Kingdom, their leaders are not only strong, but also extremely outstanding in terms of prestige, connections, and family strength.

But now, according to O'Faryl's observations, she couldn't tell that the two girls in front of her would be the leaders of the Knights, not only because they looked too young and not yet adults, but also because the two girls did not have any retinue around them at all. According to the previous two girls, they had come from far away to join Yuren, so they should have come with their own fighting troops, but Ofaril did not see any trace of the army, and there seemed to be no one other than these two girls.

Thinking of this, Offariel couldn't help but look at Yulian again, for his lord, Offariel had already secretly doubted whether his life experience was really as simple as he said, not to mention anything else, just to free himself from the state of the demon soul and give himself a human form, it was definitely not something that a "down-and-out noble descendant" could do. If he really had such skills, he would not be expelled here by a big nobleman to send him to death, and everything after that strengthened Eufariel's opinion, those spirit warriors, as well as Yulian's own high strength, plus the two girls in front of her who she had never seen before, but who had obviously known Yuren for a long time, could see that Yuren's identity was not simple.

What surprised O'Faryl even more was that when they greeted the two girls, they stared at Charlotte for a long time before they smiled and shouted, "Sister Charlotte, long time no see" Greeted her, which really surprised Ofariel, you know, these maids were bought from the slave market, it is impossible to know these two girls, and Charlotte should not know them, but her reaction is very indifferent to the two of them, no matter how you look at it, these people do not seem to be the kind of existence that meets for the first time and has no connection.

Although Ofariel thought that he knew something about the young lord, he still had no way to conclude what kind of person he was.

This can't be blamed on O'Fariel, after all, although Yuren once shook the continent, but after his death, all forces have been deliberately trying to forget the existence of this person, even the Kingdom of West, not only deleted all the intelligence records about Yuren, but even completely buried these contents in history. Even West V does not know. Not to mention, most of Yuren's exploits are based on war, and Ofariel has been focusing on internal and foreign affairs, so it is rare to have a relationship, and she herself deliberately keeps a distance from the military system, so it is not strange that she has no concept of Yuren's legend.

After thinking for a moment, Offariel couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook her head, what position and qualifications did she have to consider this? No matter what Yuren's true identity was, the fact that she was saved by him, and that he gave her body to return to this world, could not be changed. Moreover, she is no longer the identity of a princess, no matter what Yulian wants to do, she will not stop it, after all, she has already blocked her identity and qualifications.

But even so, looking at Yuren's face, a trace of melancholy flashed in O'Fariel's eyes, this young lord must have hidden something, but what it was, O'Faryl didn't know, maybe he didn't think he was qualified enough to know, or maybe he didn't want him to know some secrets that belonged to him so early?

This emotion did not stem from Yuren's dissatisfaction with what he had hidden, but a sense of uneasy crisis, after all, it was not a particularly strange thing for the superior to hide from the subordinate, and Ofariel also understood his duties and position. However, judging from the current situation, it seems that these people around her, whether it is Judy as a geist warrior, or Charlotte as a maid, or these two girls who have just appeared, have all had something to do with Yuren, only herself, she knows nothing about their relationship, and she is excluded by everyone, and it is this that makes Ofaril feel a little anxious and uneasy.

"Well, then, I have something to ask you for next. ”

Yuren's voice rang out again, and Ofariel hurriedly withdrew his thoughts and began to concentrate on waiting for the result.

"Something?"

Hearing Yulian's words, the two girls tilted their heads curiously and looked at Yulian. Their movements were still in unison and in opposite directions, and this strange illusion made Ofariel really wonder, what kind of person could do this?

"What's the matter with my brother?"

"What's the matter with Dad?"

"About this young lady next to me. ”

As he spoke, Julien patted O'Faryl on the shoulder.

"I think you've felt something, right?"

Hearing this, the two girls looked at Ofaril in unison, and felt the gaze of the two, although Ofaril was a little nervous, she still maintained her upright posture and did not change in the slightest. The two girls narrowed their eyes slightly after observing O'Faryl for a moment, and then they shook each other's hands.

"The phantom is a surname. ”

"Transfiguration magic. ”

"The mage's stalker. ”

"Guardian of Mana. ”

At this point, the two girls paused for a moment as usual, and then spoke in unison.

"You've found something very good, Your Excellency. ”

"I also consider myself lucky. ”

In the face of the two girls' speeches, Yulian smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

"But unfortunately, I think you also know that I don't know how to use spells, and this young lady has never received a formal education in magic, so I can only ask you for help, I don't think it's a difficult thing for you to do. ”

"Lord Yuren. ”

Hearing this, Ofaril finally seized the opportunity and asked curiously.

"Excuse me, who are these two young ladies............ Mage?"

"No!"

But, contrary to Ofariel's expectations, it was not Yuren who answered her, but the two girls sitting opposite.

"We are not mages. ”

"We're knights. ”

Again, the answer.

Hearing this, Ofariel was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily looked at the young lord beside her, she remembered very well that after her resurrection, she had also asked Yuren about this question, but she got the same answer. Not a mage, a knight. On the surface, this sentence seemed to be a simple negative, but both Yulian and the two girls in front of them were a little disdainful, as if it was very unpleasant for them to be mistaken for a mage. This is really incomprehensible to Ofariel, no matter what, the status of mages is also very high on this continent, they are not only powerful, but also quite respected, how is it that up to now, these three people she has seen are all a picture of "we are nobles, not beggars, and we are not compared to that kind of thing" - is the mage so unsightly in their eyes?

"They're knights, but they're also very good at using spells. ”

Sensing Ofariel's curiosity, Yuren quickly explained to her.

"As I think you know, mages are different from swordsmen, only those who are talented can become mages, and people like me who don't have the slightest magical strength can't use magic at all. And although they are knights and major in swordsmanship, their understanding of magic is not much worse than that of those so-called ** masters, and even in the mage association, there are very few mages who are their opponents. ”

"Brother, do you want her to become a mage?"

"Dad, I don't think that's good advice. ”

And just then, the two girls spoke at the same time again, and they looked at Ofariel and spoke.

"For the Illusory caste, being a mage is such a waste. ”

"If Dad agrees, we'll have a better way. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, You Lian raised his eyebrows, he really didn't expect these two little guys to have such a suggestion. Although judging from Yuren's experience and vision, Ofariel has no fighting nerves, and his own strength is not strong, and his magic power is huge and rare, with such talent and quality, although it is a pity, but only a mage has a future. But now listening to these two little guys, it seems that she has other options besides being a mage?

"Tell me about it?"

"The Illusory caste is of low physique and is not suitable for ordinary ways of fighting. ”

"But for the record, they created their own tactics. ”

"It's so unique that there's never been a way to experiment with it. ”

"But now it seems that we have a good match. ”

As she spoke, the two girls looked at Offariel again, and this time, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had been calm and composed, turned a little pale - it is no wonder that what they have just heard is an extremely dangerous statement, no matter how you think about it.

"A unique method of fighting?"

In contrast to Ofariel's worries, Julien was in good spirits.

"Indeed, I remember that I once seemed to have met a guy who was not like a mage, and a swordsman was not like a swordsman, it was really weird, did you mean .........?"

"The essence of the Illusory caste is to disassemble objects and restore them to Mana form. ”

"Then in turn, you can condense Mana to create the form of an object. ”

The girls replied with a chuckle, holding hands.

"Relying entirely on the power of Manna to carry out his own battles is the power of the bearer of the Illusory caste. ”

Later, with the two girls' explanations, Yuren and Ofariel finally learn the secret about the so-called Illusory Warrior.

And this involves the essence of this world.

On this continent, everything is made of Mana, and Mana is the source of all growth, and the mage uses the technique of condensing Mana in the air and turning it into tangible energy to attack. This is the creation of what is called a spell. Of course, such a spell will consume a lot of Mana's power, especially the more powerful the spell, the more Mana's power will be consumed, and even some forbidden spells will completely consume the Mana in that area once they are smashed. At that time, it will be over, maybe the original forbidden spell will kill 1,800 people, but after that, the entire region will completely decay and die out due to the loss of Mana's influence, and by that time, the impact will be tens of thousands or more.

This absence of Manna is similar to the decline caused by the unrestricted use of conversion devices, though the latter can use the power of the state, the royal family, and other power groups to influence and control, but the former does not. Fortunately, however, for mages, the spells they use are generally derived from the power of Manna generated within them, rather than blindly borrowing the power of Manna from the outside, and it is precisely because of this that the mages have gained a respectable status - otherwise, they would have been completely wiped out by the alliance of other countries.

However, the principle of the illusory caste is the exact opposite of ordinary spells. It is the transformation of Manna that has been reduced to a condensation of spells to their original form again, as if a piece of ice was transformed back into the form of water, except that in this form transformation, Manna is not consumed. And that's not all, you know, when the mage casts a spell, he will always use the power of Mna in his body to vibrate and attract first, and the Illusory Cast will not pay attention to these at all, so that it doesn't matter whether you belong to the magic power of this mage or the power of Manna drawn from the air, all of them are reconverted into Mana, that is, in some cases, the mage fights against the holder of the Illusory Caste, and in the end, the number of Manna filled in that area may even be more than the original one.

If Mana is compared to a tree, and the mage is a carpenter, and the holder of the phantom surname is an environmentalist, the carpenter cuts down the tree and processes it into other items, and the environmentalist turns the furniture back into trees and replants them in the forest. It's no wonder that the Mage Guild values the holders of the Illusory Caste so much, if this goes on like this, it would be strange if they didn't go bankrupt. No, don't say bankrupt, maybe one day even the factory will be taken to plant trees, then it's really too late to cry.

Of course, if the Illusory Caste is only for those external condensed Mana powers, then the Mage Association will not attach so much importance to them, but the problem is that this kind of caste is too "iron-faced and selfless", and they don't ask the source at all, as long as they feel the power of Mana, then they will immediately restore it, regardless of whether it comes from the outside or other mages, which is the reason why mages can't accept it - no one wants the fruits of their hard work to be completely wiped out in the blink of an eye.

The Illusory surname is a threat to mages, but it is also a threat to its holders, because its essence is to transform condensed Mana, so the bearer of the Illusory surname is generally better than the average person's resonant surname with Mana, but its disadvantages are also obvious - Ofariel's lack of fighting nerves can also be considered a typical flaw, and most owners of the Illusory surname are the same, and few people have excellent combat skills.

However, even so, they still figured out a special method of using the illusory caste to fight—the phantom method of warfare.

If you use data to illustrate the problem, the average mage, it takes about ten manas to condense a fireball, and when this fireball erupts, the amount of mana left in it is only about two to three, but the existence of the magic power condensed by the phantom caste, even if it is also the consumption of ten mana, but the final residual amount can reach about two-thirds. Moreover, what ordinary mages need to condense with ten mana, for the wielder of the illusory, only one-third of the amount can be done.

Low consumption, high efficiency.

This is another characteristic of the phantom caste.

"I've got a rough idea of the situation. ”

Hearing this, Yulian rubbed his forehead that was a little dizzy, and then glanced at Ofariel, who was no different from himself, this kind of high-depth magic teaching was the first time for them, but this was not a problem, the most troublesome thing was that the two sisters always said one sentence after another, in such a situation, not only to understand the meaning, but also to judge which sentence was said by which person, plus a large number of professional terms......... It's no wonder that Yulian can't stand it.

"So, let's talk about the result directly, what is the so-called illusion tactic of the Phantom Holder's special combat method?"

Hearing Yuren's inquiry, the girls held up a finger against their chins.

"A tactic to condense and materialize Mana and install it on your own body to fight. ”

"The physical requirements are very high, and if you can't withstand its strength, you will be attacked and die. ”

"But big sisters don't need to worry about that. ”

"Because the big sister has already died from time to time?"

"So ..............."

With this, the girls smiled innocently and innocently and held out their hand to Ofaril.

"Big sister, do you want to try it?"

Whenever they speak in unison, it means that they have made up their minds.

Yulian picked up the teacup, feeling the aroma of the black tea inside, he took a sip, and then looked at the girl beside him—and it just so happened that Ofariel also turned his head at the same time, and looked at him with a somewhat panicked and confused inquiring look.

"That's your problem, Miss O'Faryl, and I think it's up to you to decide. ”

“...............”

Hearing this, Ofariel opened her mouth in dissatisfaction, wanting to say something, but in the end, she still didn't say anything, just sighed helplessly.

What is there to hesitate about, isn't this exactly what she expects? Since the lord in front of her needs to do it herself, then she will do it, and ......... Thinking of this, Ofariel couldn't help but glance at Yuren again, the young, elegant smile on his face did not waver in the slightest, but it gave people a mysterious feeling.

If he had joined the battle, he would have been able to get closer to this young man, and by that time, would he have told himself what he had been hiding?

Thinking of this, O'Faryl stood up and bent down deeply towards the two girls.

"So, can you trouble the two of you?"

O'Faryl didn't see it, and the moment she bent down, Yuren's face suddenly changed, and he gave the girls a look with a strange smile, then pouted at Charlotte, who was standing beside him, and finally gestured to O'Faryl. And when the two girls saw Yuren's actions, a little curiosity appeared on their faces—and then they turned into sudden joy.

"Of course, leave it to us, big sister. ”

"We have one special request, though. ”

"Speak. ”

Hearing this, Ofaril hurriedly raised her head and looked at the two girls with some nervousness, not knowing what kind of request they would make. Then she saw the two girls reach out and point to Charlotte, who was standing beside Julien.

"......... during the study of tactics"

"We want big sisters to ........."

"Dressed in the same clothes as Sister Charlotte!"

Hearing this, Ofariel's face immediately turned pale.
