In order to dispel Crook's suspicions about himself, Kaplan could only drink coffee with a truth potion, as if he didn't know what to do. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is such a thing as a truth teller on the earth in the previous life, but the truth teller in this world is completely different.

The truth of the earth is only a means of medicine, mainly through drugs to interfere with people's judgment and higher cognitive functions. Because lying is a relatively advanced and complex brain activity, after being injected with drugs, the human brain is "paralyzed", and the ability to lie will decline.

And the elixir here is an alchemical item. This miraculous alchemy product will unconsciously affect the mind of the user, making people subconsciously speak the truth.

If you just look at the explanation, it seems that the elixir of alchemy is even more high, but in fact this thing is not very useful: since it only affects the subconscious, once the subject knows that he has taken the elixir or is wary in the first place, it will not work.

This is also the reason why Kaplan dared to drink the truth spitting.

After temporarily dispelling Crook's suspicions, Kaplan's spirit slackened and he began to sleepy, yawning incessantly.

Fortunately, the second uncle Zach called them to the council chamber and there was nothing else to do, and it didn't take long for them to announce their disbandment.

"I'll tell you again, don't move around lately! When Big Brother arrives, we can go back, and it won't be too long. It's good for everyone to endure it for a few days. Zach finally gave a reassuring sigh.

The Deduwa family naturally has its own territory, and the manor outside Maple Leaf City is just a temporary place to stay. If it weren't for the engagement ceremony between Kaplan and the three princesses, the family wouldn't have gathered here. -- Gleason, the head of the house, was not there because of the conflict that broke out on the border, and he rushed over to take charge of the situation. However, because the conflict was resolved relatively smoothly, the engagement ceremony was held on time.

Speaking of which, Kaplan has yet to see the Deduwa family's territory in person. He had just crossed over when he encountered the disappearance of the Holy Maiden, and in the original history, he fled all the way abroad under the pursuit of the Cult of Light and the nobles of the Lanya Kingdom, and barely saved his life.

This time, I suppressed the matter of the saintess, and it seems that I have a chance to see the scenery in the territory. Kaplan sighed for a moment, but when he stood up, he felt some backache, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: he really should have exercised. The original Kaplan's addiction to alcohol had already hollowed out his body, and he realized how weak his body was after a "morning exercise" today, and Karina alone almost couldn't clean it up.

However, exercising is a long-term thing, and there is one more important thing that needs to be clarified first.

Placing the magic hedron in the middle of the magic circle he had so hard to carve out, Forster examined it again and began to chant the incantation.

It's a pity, just halfway through the reading, a red light flashed in the magic array, and the magic crystal cracked all at once!

"Alas, there was no explosion this time, so it can be regarded as progress. Sighing helplessly, Forster casually whipped a light wind and blew the wreckage on the ground into the corner.

Closing his notes and packing up the rest of the materials, Forster muttered to himself again, "The magic hedron has run out again, and it looks like we have to negotiate with that stingy Zack." When will Gleason be back? ”

As a magician hired by the Deduwa family, Forster's expenses are indeed larger, but there is no way to do it, and studying the magic array is an act of burning money.

Forster's qualifications as a magician were not very good, and it was already his limit to become an intermediate magician before the age of sixty. If you want to start enjoying yourself, you have no problem being an intermediate magician, but Forster is obsessed with the study of magic circles.

Although the Wizards' Guild provides annual subsidies to its magicians, those subsidies are not gratuitous and unlimited. The allowance for the Intermediate Magician was simply not enough for Forster to conduct research on the Magic Circle.

Coupled with the fact that he had no other means of making money, in order to continue his research, Forster had no choice but to agree to the solicitation of the Deduwa family. - Magicians are mostly arrogant, and feel that agreeing to the nobles' solicitation to serve others is an act of self-defeating.

As soon as he walked out of his laboratory, Forster's disciple Moroni walked up to him and said, "Teacher, the fourth young master of the Deduwa family wants to see you. ”

"That little fellow's name is Kaplan, isn't it?" After receiving a definite answer, Forster thought for a moment, but could not guess what the gentleman could do with him.

Although he doesn't want to waste time, he is now employed by the Deduwa family, and he still has to give some face to the son of the Deduwa family.

Forster himself thought of the living room and asked Moroni to bring someone over.

Kaplan didn't come alone, he was followed by a pretty maid. The maid looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, and Forster thought she was a little familiar.

I guess I've seen it in the manor before. Forster didn't care, and asked Kaplan, "Fourth Young Master, do you have something to do with coming to me?

The Deduwa family recruited two mid-level magicians, and the other magician followed Gleason, the head of the family, for many years, and this time also went to the border with Gleason.

And Forster stayed because he was the magic mentor of the second young master, Skoll. Although Skoll didn't like to practice magic, Forster was more satisfied, as he had more time to study the magic circles he was interested in.

Kaplan replied, "I would have liked to learn magic, but I'm a little older now." ”

"As long as there is perseverance, age is not a big issue. If you want to learn magic, I'll teach you too. Forster comforted with a mischievous mouth. In his opinion, what this kind of pleasure-hungry aristocratic child lacks most is perseverance. Of course, if Kaplan really wants to learn, of course he will teach, and it won't take much effort anyway to ask for an extra sum of money like the Deduwa family.

"I'll think about it. "Of course, Kaplan won't learn from Forster, he was also a mid-level magician before he was reborn!

Of course, Kaplan couldn't tell anyone else, and he continued, "Master Forster, I'm here today to ask, have you ever seen the Holy Maiden?"

In the mage rank, only high-level mages are qualified to be called masters. Although Forster is only an intermediate magician, his knowledge of magic arrays is far superior to that of ordinary high-level magicians, and it is not an exaggeration to be called a master.

"Is that the Cult of Light the Lady who disappeared the other day?" Forest replied, "Although we magicians don't have much to do with the Cult of the Illuminati, I also attended the welcome banquet when the Lady came that day. ”

"So you've seen the Holy Maiden, don't you recognize who she is?" said Kaplan, pulling the maid beside him, namely Karina, to his side.

After being reminded, Forster carefully observed Karina's appearance, and his face changed instantly! His memory was not very bad, and Karina's appearance was not very difficult to recognize. He hadn't recognized it before, just because he hadn't thought about it.

Forster pointed his finger at Kaplan and shouted, "Kaplan, did you kidnap the saint?"

He never imagined that Kaplan, who had always been considered a wreck, would be able to kidnap the saint!

Kaplan's expression did not change, and he said, "Don't panic, do you look at the appearance of the saint, as if she has been kidnapped?"

"If it's not kidnapping, it's abduction! You're in trouble!" Forster's disciple Moroni couldn't help but shout.

Forster didn't blame his disciple for interjecting behavior, because he thought so in his heart.

Kaplan ignored Moroni and simply asked Forster, "Master Forster, the Holy Maiden is indeed in my hands anyway. Now that you know, what do you think?"

He brought Kailina to the door this time to test Forster's thoughts: before being reborn, when the Cult of Light attacked the manor, Forster disappeared at the beginning, and he didn't help at all! The strength of the Cult of Light in the kingdom of Lanya is not very strong, if Forster's magic array set up in the manor can be activated, the Cult of Light may not be able to capture the manor.

Although Kaplan didn't find out about Forster's whereabouts after that, so naturally he didn't know the reason for Forster's disappearance, but now that there is a chance, Kaplan naturally wants to know Forster's position.

As for whether Forster will turn his face directly after being tempted, Kaplan is not worried at all, because he is ready to read the file from the beginning. As long as you read the file, no one else will leave any memory.

"And ask me what the teacher thinks, send them back! You're a nuisance to everyone!" Moroni interjected again.

Kaplan ignored Moroni and continued to ask, "Master Forster, do you think the same way?" or did you arrest me and ask for credit from the Cult of Light?"

Forster sighed, and finally spoke: "After all, I spent so many gold coins on the Deduwa family, and I can't do anything about arresting you." Fortunately, your father is coming back, and I will follow his arrangement. ”

Moroni suddenly became anxious: "Teacher, we don't need to go against the Cult of Light......

"But we magicians don't need to be afraid of the Cult of Light. Forster said solemnly: "I have a contract with the Deduwa family, and I don't want to go back. If Master Gleason has any intention of going to war with the Cult of the Illuminati, my old bones will be freed. If Moroni is scared, you can choose to leave. ”

Moroni immediately expressed his loyalty and said: "Teacher, you are so kind to me, I will not leave until I repay my teacher." ”

Kaplan suddenly asked Karina, "Did Master Forster say anything?"

The reason he brought Karina with him was to know what Forster really thought.

"Master Forster's words are true. Karina replied, "But his disciple told a lie. ”
