Time passed, and Leon, who was already a mid-level magician, spent his eighth year on the plane of Elilac. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Two years later, Leon was still stuck at the eighth level of magic, and the promotion of magic level had become slow, but an eighteen-year-old eighteen-level magician could be called a genius in any family. In the past few years, he has exchanged letters with the Huskes family, most often with his good friend the little fat man Yashi. Ashi, who was three years older than him, was now being chased by Leon, and at this moment Ashi was only a rank 7 junior warrior.

On this day, Flatt specially prepared a feast that was enough for all the Heroic Spirits to attend, because this day was Lyon's rite of passage.

At the banquet, Leon silently picked up a glass of red wine and gently shook the glass. He was not disgusted that Flatt was worried about his coming-of-age ceremony, and he had prepared such a grand banquet for him, and the process of the banquet was strictly in accordance with the banquet process of the nobles. However, Leon was very disgusted by the feast, and the Heroic Spirits, who did not need to eat, only ate some food symbolically. Under the melodious music of the wind harp, the pairs of heroic spirits on the dance floor danced the veneer dance popular in the upper echelons of the empire, but there was no ambiguous laughter, and there were no eyes around to appreciate the dance.

In this banquet, there is no conversation, no politeness, not even a smile, it is like a group of ghosts going on the banquet in silence.

Leon felt that he hated the Heroic Spirits even more, and he didn't even have the interest to dance, but just sat silently in his seat and ate his food. Thankfully, the food is still very tasty. Leon even wants to escape from here and hide in his laboratory to draw the spirit pattern, which is much more fun than attending this boring rite of passage.

But as the protagonist of the banquet, Leon naturally can't leave, not to mention that his teacher Flatt is sitting next to him.

Flatt held his wine glass and looked at Leon with a smile: "Leon, it seems that you are not so happy, don't you like the banquet that the teacher has prepared for you?"

Leon shook his head: "Not really. On the contrary, I am grateful that the teacher remembered my rite of passage and prepared this feast for me. ”

"You don't have to hide your emotions, Leon. "Actually, I don't like these Heroic Spirits, who are good assistants to experiments, loyal servants to me, but not good guests at banquets. They're so boring!"

"However, the banquet is just to make your coming-of-age ceremony less deserted. Flatt stood up and clapped his palms.

The Immortals all stopped moving, bowed respectfully, and removed the food, tables, and the like from the banquet.

Flatt said to Leon: "Come with me, I have a gift for you." ”

Leon hurriedly said, "Teacher, you don't have to bother preparing any gifts for me. ”

"No, you've always wanted this gift. Flatt smiled meaningfully.

Flatt takes Leon into his lab and opens the Mithril Room in Leon's presence.

Leon's eyelids jumped, and he began to feel a little apprehensive, but on the surface he remained calm and followed Flatt into the Mithril Room.

In the aisle of the Mithril Room, Flatt did not lead Leon into the herbarium, but instead opened another "door" and motioned for Leon to enter.

When Leon entered, he found that this was another laboratory, but the equipment was more advanced than the one above, with many expensive magical items neatly arranged, and on the magic energy purifier was the set of spirit pattern carving knives.

Flatt suddenly made some gestures, and Leon soon found that the magic in his body was imprisoned, and he collapsed to the ground, looking at Flatt in horror.

Curseless chanting, and it's a high-level magical confinement technique.

"Don't worry, I'm going to draw a bloodline spirit pattern for you myself, and this is the coming-of-age ceremony I gave you. With a wave of his hand, Leon was grabbed by an invisible hand and placed on the Magical Light Purifier.

The zero-level magic of the mage's hand, for Flat, who is already a legend, even the gesture can be omitted and sent out directly.

Flatt typed some symbols into a special piece of equipment, and one of the walls of the laboratory opened, revealing a woman who had Leon in his dreams.

Leon's eyes widened, Morrancy, how could she be here?

Flatt took out the three knives of carved skin, carved meat, and carved bone from the knife box, and said slowly: "I promised you to return Morraincy to you, and this time I will do what I say." ”

"Leon, my disciple, sooner or later you will have to learn the bloodline spirit pattern, but do you know the blood behind this magical spirit pattern. This is the price of the pursuit of truth, and it is the basis of our research. Don't blame the teacher. ”

Flatt inserted three carving knives into Morrancy's forehead, chest, and wrist, and continued: "The bloodline does not appear out of thin air, even if the bloodline spirit pattern I create, it still needs an initial bloodline and the soul of the original host. The power of the soul can correct the mistakes of the bloodline spirit pattern, and it is also the guarantee of the vitality of the bloodline spirit pattern, without the addition of the soul, the bloodline spirit pattern is just a pool of dead blood, which has no use. ”

"The Heroic Spirit is another evolution of the soul, and this way of living is far more suitable than the soul to become the 'vitality' of the bloodline spirit pattern. As your coming-of-age ceremony, I want to give you a heavy gift, and the bloodline spirit pattern I want to give you is her. ”

"No, I don't!" Leon roared angrily, but he couldn't struggle at all, so he slammed his head against the surface of the bench.

Morrancy quietly endured the pain of the carving knife stabbing into his body, just watching Leon's struggle, silently shedding tears.

Leon begged Flatt bitterly: "Teacher, please, let her go." I'm begging you. ”

Flatt ignored Leon's plea and shook his head slightly: "You don't understand, behind the development of all things there are iron rules of the world, which cannot be violated, perceived, or ignored. Once something violates the iron rules, it contains the power to break the iron rules, and even if it is inconspicuous, it has extraordinary power. For example, the sacrifice you saw in Prison No. 325, the betrayal of the gods, the rupture of faith, the helpless depravity...... What a perfect experiment, what a perfect power. ”

And now, there is a heroic spirit who has turned his back on the gods. Leon, can you know this preciousness?"

Leon looked at Flatt in horror, and sure enough, he knew it.

Morrancy's body began to fade, and the power of her existence as a heroic spirit was swallowed up by three carving knives, and she endured it silently without resistance, watching Leon cry incessantly.

Flatt drew his carving knife, and he walked over to Leon, slicing the skin on Leon's forehead. Leon didn't feel pain at this action, but just felt a chill on his forehead. Flatt carefully carved lines of mysterious rhims, drawing intricate runes full of beauty.

As he made the spirit pattern, he said, "Because of her existence, you have always been wary of me, but I really regard you as my disciple. Leon, I can tolerate mistakes, but not betrayal, she has been bewitched by the evil gods, and it is better to use it for your fulfillment than to let her destroy worthless. ”

Leon wept bitterly, and he shook his head incessantly, but he could not speak.

Flatt did not relent, he stopped talking, and drew the spirit pattern in silence.

Four hours had passed, and Leon had stopped pleading, he just lay silently on the bench, looking at Morrancy with vacant eyes.

Flatt put away the Spirit Pattern Carving Knife and said, "There is only one last step left to melt the soul." ”

"Teacher, please untie the spell that binds me. Suddenly, Leon said, "Please let me do the last step." ”

Vlatt looked at Leon in surprise, but still shook his head: "You haven't performed a soul melting operation, and even if you succeed the first time, it will inevitably be a little imperfect." ”

"Please fulfill me, this is my last supplication. ”

Flatt was silent for a moment, then finally agreed to Leon's request.

Leon, who had been released from the Great Confinement Technique, got up from the lab bench and looked at Morrancy, tears in his eyes. And Morrancy bowed his head in despair.

He came down from the bench, but he stumbled to the ground, crawled up, and walked to Morrancy's side.

Morrancy looked at Leon, the boy who had once been a head shorter than her, who was now a little taller than her. She opened her mouth and tried to pronounce a few syllables, but no one could hear them.

Leon froze, he recognized Morrancy's attempt to move his lips, it was a simple four words-

Please take me away!

He couldn't help but cry and hugged Morlancey tightly, feeling her tears fall on his shoulders.

Morrancy turned into a cloud of light and shadow, disappeared into his arms, and melted into his forehead.

Flatt stood silently aside, quietly watching Morrancy's voluntary fusion into the veins on Leon's forehead, he didn't say anything, just looked at Leon who fell to his knees and wept bitterly.

After a while, Leon stopped crying, he didn't go to get angry at Flat, because it was pointless, but in his heart a conviction that had been wavering was strengthened.

Flatt was the first to break the silence between the master and apprentice, and he whispered, "Let's choose a name for this bloodline spirit pattern." ”

"Name?" Leon whispered, bowing his head, "Morrancy's hope, that's its name." ”

Flatt didn't make any comments on the name, he just nodded and said, "Tomorrow is the day you go back to Bauhinia Castle, pack your things today." ”

"Yes, I see. ”

Leon left in a daze and returned to his room.

He sat in front of the mirror, looking at the beautiful white spirit pattern on his forehead in the mirror, and was silent for a long time.

"Leon......" Tia appeared beside him, but he didn't know how to comfort Leon, "Don't be too upset. ”

"Sad? No, I'm not actually that sad. Leon said calmly, gently stroking his forehead, "I promised her that I would take her out of the kingdom of God, and that's it." ”

Tia was silent for a while, and then he said in a muffled voice, "Leon, you are worrying me a little now. ”

Leon didn't speak, he sat there quietly, staring at himself in the mirror.

Tia hesitated for a long time and said softly, "Leon, leave the kingdom of God, don't come back." The apparent power of this five-rank bloodline spirit pattern is only to protect your soul, but in fact, I have observed that this spirit pattern has a negative effect, it can allow Flatt to control your life. Leaving the kingdom of God and begging for the protection of General Augustus, someone will surely be able to forcibly remove this spirit pattern. ”

"yes, it looks like Flatt already suspects me. For the first time, Leon called Flatt by his real name, not Teacher, "He's already aware of you, the evil spirit that seduced Morancy......"

"It's just a gecko's tail cutoff, but I'm afraid he'll notice my presence sooner or later. Tia said worriedly.

Leon proposed, "Come with me." ”

"I need a little time to think about it. Tia said, he was still unwilling, unwilling to give up everything here, "The Empire will not crusade against Frat for me, and General Augustus will not help me, because I have not joined the Empire." ”

"But I'll help you. Leon said calmly, "And this is also to help myself, Tia I am not willing to leave here like this, I will come back." ”

Tia sighed, "I see. ”
