It was Cog who said this, and he was still holding a bottle of red wine in his hand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Where did it come from?"

Seeing the wine in the other party's hand, Xingkong instead asked about the origin of the wine, and his tone was a little angry, as if he hated the bottle of wine in the hand of the gear.

"Guess. ”

Hearing the other party's inquiry, Gear didn't intend to respond, and then he turned to Hong Qina and said.

"Good morning, penguin, oh my God, you've been promoted, and I just happen to have a bottle of red wine in my hand, so I'll celebrate your promotion to a full-fledged mage, and we'll go find a place to drink." ”

After saying that, he turned to leave, and Hong Qi and Xingkong had to follow.

Later, they were in a small parlor that resembled a small banquet, and unlike the hall or library, it was quite decorative, and although it could not be compared with the furnishings of the aristocratic house, it had an alternative mystery, so that people could know at a glance that this was the mage's home.

When he went to this place and drank red wine, Hong Qi noticed that the bottle of wine was a commodity of Riley's Bar, a bottle of gold coins, the price was a bit expensive in this place, but it tasted very good.

Wait, Riley?

Hong Qi saw the actions of the two and immediately thought of a possibility.

"After careful consideration, we have decided to share our identities with you. ”

After speaking, the two of them took off their cloaks and showed their true faces to Hong Qi, and the interesting thing is that there is one of them who he has met.

According to the history books that Hong Qi had read before, unless the magicians in the Amon Dynasty were friends of life and death or close friends, they would hide their faces when meeting other mages, because no one could guarantee that they would not be reported by the other party after revealing their true identity.

After the middle of the Amon Dynasty, the Sword Saint of Amon claimed to have returned to the throne, so the control of the Flora continent was handed over to his ten sons, so the dynasty was divided into ten kingdoms again.

At that time, the mages felt that their greatest danger seemed to be gone, so they began to gather underground and even began to gradually strengthen themselves, with the faint intention of overthrowing the dynasty.

Unexpectedly, the church sent demon slaying knights and demon hunters trained in the early years of the dynasty, and the two forces began to cooperate in slaughtering magicians.

In the end, the families that still had a legacy and the ancient group of mages fell apart, and the history of wars against mages during this period was called holy wars, and almost every day we could see mages being burned at the stake to carry out the punishment of holy fire.

The painful lesson caused the few remaining mages to begin to completely hide in the shadows, and at the same time made the mages no longer trust each other, because they feared that if they clashed with each other one day, a single report could make their years of accumulation go up in smoke.

And now, the two of them showed their true faces to give themselves a trust, of course, their minds were mainly on the forces behind Hong Qi.

"Well, let me introduce myself first, my full name is, Elaine Augustus, of course, this name is just a pseudonym, you already know your real name, and he is currently in charge of the casinos in the four major towns on the border, so he can be regarded as a big gangster. ”

The other party is not shy about opening a casino by himself, after all, being a mage also requires a lot of financial expenses, and if you want to have a way to accumulate wealth quickly, you can only leave behind the pride of being a mage to become a casino owner.

Then I will introduce you, who I believe you are familiar with, the owner of Riley's Bar. ”

"My name is Riley, Kenn Riley, dear sir, and we meet again. ”

As he spoke, the other party also showed a friendly smile, but in Hong Qi's eyes, this smile was too sinister.

"If you want to say why I have taken my original name, the reason is very simple, the Riley family is a very large family for the Amun dynasty, so large that the number of their descendants is incalculable, so this popular name will not be doubted by others. ”

"Of course, if you feel confident that you're in the bar business in a town, someone else will blame your so-called Riley family status on some powerful person. ”

After hearing the other party's explanation, Hong Qi nodded slightly, and then asked again.

"No wonder you contacted me in advance, but it doesn't matter, but what makes me curious is why?"

The words were not finished, but what Hong Qi wanted to convey was why they did not shy away from their respective identities.

"Because our two families are friendly families, and we have been talking to each other a lot since we were children, it is difficult to find such a trusted mage in this era. ”

The other party laughed, for Ian, it is a matter of pride to have such a good partner, and it is difficult to trust mages, but this kind of talk sounds a little strange to Hong Qi.

It is recorded in the history books that both of them never married, can it be said that ...... It's a beautiful picture, I can't imagine it.

Ian is a rugged man like him, and Riley himself seems to be a bit masculine as a man, but with his slender body and pale skin, he is more like a delicate woman.

Well... Seems to be a good match... What was I thinking?

He quickly shook his head to remove some imagination that shouldn't exist, and then continued to talk to the two.

"Well, I'll admit that you've gained my true friendship by doing this, but I can't reveal your identity at the moment, so please forgive me. ”

What are you kidding? As soon as the cloak is removed, he is a famous demon hunter in Deta, and God knows what the other party will think?

However, what reassured Hong Qi was that the other party did not intend to ask Hong Qi to reveal his identity, perhaps because they still wanted to rely on Hong Qi to gain some favor in front of his teacher.

"Haha! It doesn't matter, but I have a request. ”

"Oh, what do you want, Mr. Ian. ”

"It's nothing, it's just that you just talked about a lot of magic there, and I want to discuss it with you. ”

How could I miss this rare opportunity? It's rare for this kid to come here to discuss magic, and if he says a few more words, he might be able to get some knowledge about magic orders, how could he let him slip away?

The bastard naturally refers to Ken, which is the starry sky.

"Well, welcome to the mysteries of magic. ”

Naturally, Hong Qi didn't want to miss this opportunity, so the three of them began to discuss the knowledge related to magic again.

At first, Gear didn't think he could get much knowledge from the mouth of a promoted official mage, he originally wanted to learn the secrets of the magic order and even the principle of casting it through the mouth of the other party.

Unexpectedly, what he benefited the most was all kinds of magic knowledge, in front of Hong Qi, he was like an apprentice who had just learned magic, and the other party's knowledge was too profound, which once made Gear doubt the magic level of the person in front of him.

Hong Qi naturally gained a lot of knowledge, especially the time magic of the Augustus family, which only he can cast, although the cost of casting the spell is very high, but the power is also amazing, and he even claims to say that he has the ability to leapfrog the challenge by relying on this spell.

The current realm of the gear is already pseudo-extraordinary, and he is only one step away from being truly extraordinary, and it means that he can use the time spell to fight against the extraordinary. However, although he can resist, the price he pays is not small, and after casting the spell, he has to lie in bed for at least three or five days before he can barely get out of bed, otherwise his life will be in danger.

In the end, Hong Qi was not allowed to say goodbye to the two, but before leaving, the starry sky handed Hong Qi an item, a seemingly ordinary ruby ring.

"It's a token. ”

Starry Sky Road.

"If you go to the Central Capital, I'm sure this token will be of great help to you. ”

"Oh, what helps?"

Hearing this, Hong Qi was puzzled and asked the other party at the same time.

"The emblem of the Riley family is a double-headed eagle holding a jeweled staff and a sword with a crown, the crown represents our blood relationship with the dynasty, and the staff symbolizes wisdom, because in the history of the continent, our Riley family once appeared a law saint. In the same way, the sword symbolizes strength, and it represents the sword master. ”

"However, because of the changes in history, although the Sword God Amon is still willing to marry our family, he asks us to completely erase the jewel staff from the family emblem, and at the same time wants us to banish the group of branches with magical bloodlines. ”

Speaking of this, Starry Sky's tone was full of sorrow.

"Of course, our Riley people with the blood of the stars were also forced to leave their hometowns, but the Riley family master at that time gave us a ruby ring, and he said that if you need the help of the Riley family in the future, use this ruby ring to find the current head of the family. ”

After hearing these words, Hong Qi was unimpressed, even if he could ask for help, who would risk being accused of treason to help a group of magicians?

As if he had seen through Hong Qi's thoughts, the other party continued.

"I know you don't believe this ridiculous rumor, but I can assure you that this item has more than just a symbolic meaning, and I wouldn't have given it to you if I hadn't been able to go there myself. ”

With that, he handed the ruby ring to Hong Qi, and then he said goodbye to the two of them and left, leaving only the gears and the starry sky in the vast space.

"Well, partner, why do you have so much faith in this man?"

"Because I can see the future. ”

Hearing the other party's inquiry, he still responded mysteriously to the gear.

"Your set may be useful to others, but unfortunately I know the truth about you, let's be honest. ”

The two sides stared at each other for a long time, and finally Starry Sky made a compromise and said something that shocked the gears.

"In him, I felt an aura that did not belong to this world. ”
