Chapter 8: Threats (1)

"Good news, my lord. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Du Kang said a little strangely.

Philip sighed, "The good news is that you survived a group of evil magicians, and saved the only daughter of an ancient Imperial family, Lord Gringston, the Marquis of Glory, and your friend is safe." ”

Du Kang smiled bitterly: "My lord, don't scare me. Good news, how bad is the bad news, and you're saying it in this kind of tone that I'm in trouble?"

Philip's expression was a little solemn, and he spread his palm towards Du Kang: "This thing, it's yours, right?"

Seeing Du Kang nodded, Philip said, "Then do you know the origin of this thing?"

Du Kang nodded and shook his head again: "I don't know much. It's like an invitation from a magic academy. My lord, is this fake?"

"It's true. Philip nodded. "You can survive that evil magician, thanks to this badge that automatically protects and activates the divine shield above. ”

"Your Excellency. Du Kang's expression was even more puzzled, "Then I don't understand even more, since it's true, where does the bad news come from?

Philip shook his head: "No, the owner of this badge is you. As soon as this badge is made, the first person to touch it is its owner. You have not broken any imperial laws either. ”

Du Kang smiled bitterly: "My lord, don't sell it, just say it." What the hell is wrong with me? You're like this, I'm more tired than doing a day's work. ”

Philip didn't answer Dukang, but asked rhetorically, "How did you get this badge?"

"A knight got it there. I'm in Finland City and I have a magical grocery store...... Well, the main thing is to sell magic lamps. That guy traded a lucky spell for the most valuable thing in my store. ”

"Then I opened the Rubik's Cube and got this thing. ”

Philip nodded and sat down at the table.

"You've been in a coma for three days, and you've been in ****** for a while. Philip's fingers tapped back and forth on the table unconsciously.

"Like you know, this is an event that the Payne family and the Radiant Academy of Magic held fifteen years ago. About Lucky Cube...... I won't say much about that, you probably know that. ”

"The Payne family is a family that has existed since the beginning of the empire. From all walks of life in the empire's business and politics, the Payne family has a great right to speak. Fifteen years ago, the Payne family was in full swing. But now, it's not as good as it used to be. But there is a family that is older than it. Nowadays, the position is also higher, and that is ...... The Matthews Family. And the current patriarch of the Matthews family is the prime minister of the current empire. ”

Philip changed his words and suddenly said: "In fifteen years, a major event has happened in the Empire. Then...... A lot of people died. ”

"Of course, people of your age may not know at all. But you should also have heard that since about fifteen years ago, the lucky Rubik's cube, which has been very popular, was suddenly banned from distribution. ”

"And now, there is a risk of a repeat of what happened fifteen years ago. Maybe...... It will be more serious. ”

Du Kang was silent before asking, "What does it have to do with this badge?"

Philip nodded.

"I don't understand, what the hell is going on?"

Philip opened his mouth, just about to say something. But suddenly his face was solemn and he stopped.

He stood up abruptly and walked out the door, a moment before it opened. He suddenly turned around and looked at Du Kang sympathetically

"You're a nice guy who can stand up in the face of injustice...... Kind advice. Du Kang, when there are some choices in front of you, think clearly. Think clearly before choosing ......"

Philip shook off a headless sentence and walked away.

No sooner had Philip left than a man came in on his hind feet.

Or maybe it's not quite appropriate to walk in. Because this person didn't go out of the door at all, he appeared in the room directly out of thin air.

Du Kang stood up abruptly and looked at the middle-aged man vigilantly.

The middle-aged man was dressed in a traditional and ancient costume and had silver hair. There is a majesty between the eyebrows, and there is a sense of arrogance in every gesture. It's as if in this world, there is nothing that can make him care.

"Sit down, I like people talking to me with their heads up. The man spoke lightly and waved his hand, and Du Kang involuntarily sat down on the chair, which made Du Kang very uncomfortable.

"Have you ever seen a magician in Finland City?" asked the silver-haired man's voice in a magnetic, casual voice. It's like chatting with a junior.

"I've seen it from afar, not much. ”

"Magicians are powerful, aren't they? you can make a stone shatter with a raised hand, and a casual blow is a gust of wind. They can also make incredible things, like the magic windmills you've ridden before. ”

"Yes, it's powerful. That's why everybody wants to be a magician. Du Kang replied honestly.

"But not everyone can be a magician. The silver hair suddenly turned around, and stared at Du Kang coldly.

"A magician needs strong talent support, mental power, learning talent, and...... Lineage. ”

Seeing that Du Kang didn't show any expression on his face, Yinfa continued: "You don't have any of these, so you can't be a magician. Even if you work hard to become a magician, you will not be able to achieve much due to your talent, and you will face all kinds of dangers due to various dangerous tasks...... It's even 10,000 times more terrifying than what you experienced in ******, up to death. ”

"So, people who don't have a talent for magic can't set this precedent, they couldn't fifteen years ago, and they can't now. ”

"Fifteen years ago?" Du Kang's heart moved, "You are from the Matthews family?"

"You're smart. The silver-haired man laughed. "A wise man should have a smart man's approach. Let's talk about the conditions under which you give up this badge. Title, money, or beauty?"

The silver-haired man's voice was extremely cold: "The story of a commoner boy who accidentally got an admission place and then entered the magic academy to become a magician is also found in the bard's poems. You see, you have encountered a catastrophe of life and death on your way to the imperial capital - this is the warning of the gods!"

"Warn the world that commoners must not try to get their hands on noble magic!"

It's not that you can't learn magic, it's that you don't allow it.

Du Kang finally understood what he meant from the silver-haired man's many words.

Do magicians need strong talents, good births, or even noble bloodlines?

But is every magician very talented? Is it true that every magician's parents are magicians?
