Emilia took Raphael by her arm and said as she walked: "In the future, you must listen to me obediently, in the dark night, you will be directly under my control, and I will ask for at least half of the benefits of the equipment store." ”

Raphael nodded obediently and said: "The equipment store buys, we can make the price lower if the quantity is small and the purchase price is high; ”

Emilia said with satisfaction: "You guy is quite cunning, why don't we sneak some people, process some materials, semi-processed things, and the price fluctuates ......"

The two chatted slyly about how to pit the duke's money, and walked towards the magic tower, and when they arrived at the tower, Raphael said: "Oh, I'm late to come back, and I don't know if the old guy will teach me a lesson." ”

Emilia said disdainfully: "With me, what are you afraid of, do you think Enoch is my opponent?"

Raphael choked, Enoch, a high-level magician, was inferior to Emilia in magic power, not to mention that she was still a thorn, and said: "He's my teacher, of course you don't care, let's sneak in." ”

Emilia didn't want to get into any more trouble, so she sneaked into the tower with Raphael.

As soon as Raphael wanted to enter his room, he saw a rucksack thrown in the corner of the hall, this bag was familiar to him, wasn't it Edward's old liar?

Edward's impression of Raphael, that is, absolutely not doing good things, Raphael was curious, put his arm around Emilia, and whispered in his ear: "There is an old acquaintance here, he is a complete bastard, I'll go and see." He didn't have much mental power left, so he used the low-consumption state of the dark spell, avoided the magic vigilance, and walked to the second floor with a probe.

Emilia was very attentive to any disturbances in the city, and she also wanted to see who Enoch was with, so she followed Raphael to the second floor.

There was no one on the second floor, Raphael continued to touch towards the third floor, and heard the faint sound of talking above, he couldn't hear it really, he simply went up to the third floor, there were two metal screens at the staircase on the third floor, and the screens were carved with magical legends, Raphael thought it was for elegance, but he didn't know that this screen had a lot of magic [***] ability, so he and Emilia hid behind the screen and eavesdropped.

Edward said, "I'm not making much progress, it's annoying, this damn relic is so hard to find." ”

Enoch said: "There are definitely ruins, you also saw the holy light that day, not to mention that we have obtained good things in some unimportant passages, a little patience, Edward, I believe in your ability." ”

Edward said sadly: "It's this damn Holy Light that has made many forces pay attention here, the Holy Light Church has changed its bishop, it must be for the artifact, there is still the shadow of the Night Alliance in the city, it is those little gangsters of the Thieves Guild, there are many small team mercenaries who want to get rich, and even those nobles have sent a lot of tasks." ”

Enoch didn't really care about the artifact, he laughed and said, "What are you anxious about? Is there anything that easy to find? The people from the Holy Light Church and the Night Alliance are still looking for it, that's right, it means that the artifact is still there." ”

Edward said, "Our Star Church is too small in Oro City, and that dead shemale of Fadini is still urging me. ”

A single faith is something that the aristocracy does not want to see, so the image of the righteous Star Church also has a church and power in the Oran Empire, but it is severely restricted by the Holy Light Church.

Just as the Holy Light Church also exists in the Ryan Empire, it is also restricted by the Star Church.

Of course, those churches that are dark on the surface can only develop in the dark, and if they come forward, they will be attacked by the Church of Light and the Church of the Stars, which are known as bright and righteous.

Emilia looked through the gap between the two screens and saw a clothes post in the corner of Enoch's room, on which hung a gray garment, and the cuffs of the dress had a faint black demon flower mark, which was the costume of the magician.

Her heart moved, and she saw that Edward had his back to the screen, revealing some sleeves, and there were three faint black stripes on the sleeves, which were the marks of the deacons in the Night Alliance.

Out of the corner of Enoch's eye, he caught a glimpse of something moving next to the screen, and after he saw Emilia's sleeve clearly, he used his mental power to secretly activate a magic circle on the seat, and the screen changed to the inward side, and the color carved on the metal dissolved from the middle, as if it were transparent.

Enoch clearly saw Raphael, who was ghostly, and Emilia, who was standing calmly.

He didn't want Edward to notice, and after taking a look, he immediately closed the circle.

Enoch continued, "Edward, since Fatini is urging you, you should ask her for some. ”

Edward said, "Okay, I'll try." By the way, did Valery find out anything? Didn't she tell her to go to the tavern to inquire more? Why didn't she move at all? ”

Enoch said: "Valerie is useless, she is too involved in the affairs of the Earl's family, and now that she is in the shop, I don't think I can count on her." ”

As soon as Emilia pulled Raphael, she motioned for him to go down, but Raphael did not dare to listen more, so she carefully went downstairs and returned to her room.

Emilia entered the room, and finally felt a little unnatural, in order to hide the slight panic in her heart, she simply lay on the bed coquettishly, and said to Raphael fiercely: "Come, serve me well, if the service is not good, cut it." ”

Raphael looked at her stretched curves, speechless for a moment, did he want to scare him?, his little face twitched, and he climbed up to Emilia's soft body, only to find that her delicate body was trembling slightly.

After a long period of trembling at the foot of the bed, the wind finally calmed down.

Raphael hugged Emilia comfortably, although he was breathing slowly, but he was actually not asleep, and the recent mess had made him think wildly, when he noticed that the magic of Emilia around him suddenly fluctuated, and he heard her chanting a spell softly.

He was startled, controlled his breathing, and remained silent, and then he felt a wave that was about to shake his soul, and he quickly cleared up, and the wave was like a stream flowing through a boulder, and it could not shake the gray ball in his mind in the slightest.

Emilia called softly, "Raphael~~Raphael~~"

Raphael began to clear his mind, and his breathing became more slower.

Emilia got up and got dressed, and walked out of the room.

Raphael heard her go out of the room, quickly got up, glanced out the door, and saw Emilia walking upstairs.

He rolled his eyes, and instead of following directly, he hid in a manual lifting platform, which was built to facilitate the transportation of magical materials, the platform was very small, fortunately, the Raphaelites were not too big, he slowly pulled the metal rope, and raised himself up, until his head approached the exit of the lifting platform on the third floor, and then stopped.

Eric was obviously not sleeping, and he was saying, "Lord Deacon, how are you with Raphael?"

Emilia smiled: "That's just a playmate, I didn't expect that your dignified high-level magician is just a demon." ”

The personnel of the Dark Night Alliance are complicated, and when they meet, the people in their alliance wear airtight robes many times, which is for the sake of safety, as long as the secret language is right, so no one knows Enoch's identity.

Enoch was a little embarrassed in his voice: "This is because I have no potential, Lord Deacon took the initiative to show up, is there any order?"

Emilia thought, this old guy hung the gray robe with a big grin, and he was not afraid that Edward would see it, and he probably didn't have any loyalty to the Night Alliance, so she said: "With you infiltrating the Star Church, you shouldn't be a demon, after this incident, I will give you credit, at least let you be a deacon, the Holy Light Church is really troublesome, since you have mixed into the Star Church, it is just right, you let Edward call more people, it is best to let the Holy Light and the stars conflict." ”

There was a hint of joy in Enoch's voice, and he said, "That's why I told Edward to ask for help, and I'll do my best, Lord Deacon." ”

Emilia smiled: "Enoch, I hope you don't be confused, I'm not afraid to tell you, the Grand Duke ostensibly believes in the Holy Light, but in fact he is a member of our Night Alliance, he has already deployed troops nearby, it is a powerful earl's army, as long as you provoke the Holy Light and the stars to fight, then the Grand Duke has a reason to let the army intervene." ”

Enoch shuddered, the Grand Duke wanted to kill him, like pinching an ant to death, offending the Grand Duke, then he didn't want to mix in the Empire, he hurriedly said: "Lord Deacon, don't worry, maybe I can provoke the people of the Star Church to assassinate the Holy Light Bishop." My lord, does Raphael matter to you?"

Emilia was silent for a moment before she said, "Is he very important to you?" Forget it, I won't ask, if there is anything between you, I won't care." ”

When Raphael heard this, his heart was cold, and he hurriedly pulled the rope slowly and lowered himself, but fortunately, he was usually doing maintenance on this lifting platform, but he didn't make the slightest sound.

He slipped back into his room and continued to pretend to be asleep, and after a while, Emilia returned to her room, undressed, and fell into his arms.

Early in the morning, after Emilia left, Raphael saw Enoch's more and more kind old face to him, and his heart was pounding, he was thinking about whether it was time to slip away, and it was estimated that the bone bracelet also emitted an energy imprint, invading his soul, and with his peculiar spiritual power, it was estimated that he could defend it.

It's just that the thought of becoming stronger made him determined to stay, and he looked at Enoch, who went upstairs to sort out the cycle of the demon cave, and muttered, "In order to be able to control your own destiny, it is worth the risk." ”

Then the proverb of the mage sounded in his head: prudence is the code of the mage's eternal rule.

He began to have a violent contradiction in his heart, and after a while, he suddenly threw that aphorism out of his mind, panted slightly and whispered: "I'm not a mage yet, no matter what mage aphorisms, there is no chance, what's the use of being cautious?"

Then, remembering Valery's condition, he decided to go out to her, of course, he was very careful, always along the building, constantly trying to hide his figure, early in the morning, like a thief.

After going out and walking for a while, he remembered the green dot in his soul, and suddenly his face turned pale and cleared, wanting to see if the green dot had changed.

He didn't know if the owner of the green dot could observe him, and he cautiously focused his mental power on the shield emblem, hiding in the shadows of a fork in the road, ready to banish the green dot from his soul at any time, and then escape.
