Suval's attitude was clearly well-intentioned, as he had heard from some of his close scribes about what had happened to Frick during this time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He was chosen by Dr. Kurt to assist in a new spell experiment, he was chased by strange people who looked like dry corpses in the slums at night, and he was treated like an interrogator by some people...... Whoever these encounters are placed on, they will be considered a typical example of bad luck.

Perhaps due to his experience in Lemongrass's battle against the Monsters and the Wizards, Suval seems to have subconsciously regarded Frick as a companion. Perhaps he thought that as one of the first people to work with Frick in this library, he should lend a helping hand somewhere he could.

However, after thinking about many things, Frick decided that he still had no way to tell Suval the truth of the matter. So he thought about it for a while, and finally he could only tell Suval what he had told those mages at the report meeting in the past few days, so that he didn't need to worry.

"What I did for Dr. Kurt was just a simple experiment, and the project was temporarily halted in the past few days due to a slight abnormality in the operation of the magic in his body. He said casually, "As for what happened that night, it can only be said that it was an accident, Dean and I were drunk and attacked by the other party. ”

After this "story" has been established again and again, Frick has been able to memorize it backwards, and is even convinced that it has reconciled with his own memories. He was already able to tell every detail of what had happened, and even if it was just gibberish, it would not be suspicious.

As long as a person stays alone, he will recall the important parts of his memory again and again, and then confirm which parts are the product of his own fabrication and which parts are facts. Organizing memory is the basis for ensuring cognition, and only in this way can the rigor of the record be ensured.

Of course, it can also make people say things that should be lies without changing their faces and hearts - and even subtly bypass some spells to detect lies. It is said that if you practice in this way for many years, you will one day become a trickster who is difficult for others to see through the truth of your words.

"You say...... Something is wrong with your magic?"

The young scribe looked at Frick with some uneasiness, and he felt that he couldn't ignore this keyword: "Can you please tell me what is going on, Sierra Leone?

Frick has noticed that when he is nervous, he likes to make small movements inadvertently, such as rubbing his fingers or stimulating his thumb with the nail of his index finger. The same is true now, as he sits on the other end of the table and looks at Flick, while his right hand unconsciously taps on the table.

The two of them were now sitting in a break room in the left hallway on the second floor of the Great Library, and through the window they could see the other scribes who were busy with their work. Although it was not the time for the shift break, in order to have a good chat with Suval and Suvar, Frick could only temporarily ask someone else to take the class.

In fact, even if the news they were talking about now was not deliberately concealed from him, Suval would probably be able to find out from the other people's mouths that something had changed in Frick. After all, he'd occasionally been stunned for moments by hallucinations at work lately, and the excuse he used was a migraine caused by a magic anomaly.

A migraine sounds much better than an excuse like "hallucinations," which is a big problem to get to the hospital in time for a doctor to check your head. If Suval had known, he would have rushed to Director Black's office to ask him to approve Flick's vacation.

- Of course, I'll spend all of this holiday in the hospital.

"The main thing used in the experiment was incense -- you know, Dr. Coulter and I were in the same space, and those incense shouldn't have anything bad for the body. ”

Frick took a sip of steaming tea and said in an analytical tone, "Actually, that's what I think...... The reason why my magic reacted abnormally was most likely due to something I experienced while in Lemongrass. The hidden danger was already planted when I used the moonstone fragments that Sir Leinster gave me to repel the enemy, and this participation in the experiment only activated the dark mine in advance. ”

This was a guess he had come up with after putting an end to all the events he had experienced since coming to the Gate of the North, and if you took into account Dr. Coulter's statement, the magic he ingested during this time catalyzed the special abilities he should have had in the first place, so that he could see visions while strengthening his senses.

So Frick had to adjust himself to this new ability, but it wasn't a day or two...... You can easily do it in a month. It's not that hard to accept the enhanced perception, but it's not at all easy to get used to the illusion that dyes everything.

If this had been ten years ago when Frick was a child, he would have been happy, because it would not only mean that his magic might have improved further, but also that a wonderful world would have been revealed to him. However, at this age when the worldview has gradually been fixed, it will only make people upset.

If my father had seen that he was no longer curious about everything, he would have been disappointed—Frick thought. Even if he became a scrivener, he was only passively sorting out ancient books, unlike those adventurers who were willing to take the initiative to explore unknown lands.

However, Suval was clearly not satisfied with his answer: "Maybe I shouldn't have said that, Sierra Leonean senior, but are you sure you can really trust Dr. William Coulter? I mean, maybe he didn't want to target you in the first place, but when you reacted differently to the average person in the experiment, would he consider doing more experiments on you...... For example, experimenting with potions related to that spell or something......"

For some reason, Suval apparently didn't trust Dr. Coulter, unlike most of the scribes Frick had seen in the North.

Although there is a lot of friction between the scriveners and scriveners in the Empire, the relationship between the two is relatively relaxed compared to other places due to the special environment in the north, so it is not surprising to see a scrivener and a scrivener discussing inconsequential issues in the library.

Yes, this is almost "common knowledge" in the North, but the fact that scribes and mages work together is something that would be unimaginable in other regions is commonplace here. Regardless of this "common sense", Suval did not hide his distrust.

Now that I think about it, the last time I worked with him with Sir Leinster in Lemongrass, he was also a little dissatisfied with those in the Raven Society. However, at that time, after all, it was necessary to unify all the combat forces, and he still agreed with Flick's idea to cooperate with them.

"I understand your worries, after all, it never hurts to keep an eye on them. He shrugged his shoulders, reluctantly agreeing with Suval's statement, "Although the experiment was temporarily suspended due to my anomalous magical powers, Dr. Kurt would like me to be able to help him in his experiments." ”

The potions that William Kurt had given him had been almost depleted by the past few days, and the new potions still needed some time to complete. Although he wanted to give the last of the potions to Suval to examine, he didn't want to involve him as well.

Things were still unclear, and Frick wasn't sure he could trust William Coulter as a wizard - in fact, he had considered contacting Sir Leinster, but only then did he realize that he didn't know how to find the old raven.

"Well, it's better to be careful. ”

Suval nodded, and then took something out of his satchel: "Let's do this for the time being, if you notice anything wrong, please discuss it with me in time." As for this ...... This is a special product I brought back from the Forest of Grace, so please take it. ”

It was a turquoise twig with a few paper-thin leaves growing on the soft branches, which was quite rare during the season. These are the branches of the parasitic tree, which seem to have grown only in the last few days, and they still carry the freshness of the young plant.

Frick had seen the branches of the parasitic tree many times in the past, but the one Suvar had brought back was a little different. At the end of this twig is a verdant leaf, a vibrant green that seems to concentrate the vitality of the whole parasitic tree.

"What is this, Suval? I feel that this twig is a little different from ordinary parasitic trees, especially since the leaves around here seem to contain quite vigorous vitality. ”

He pointed to the leaf with some curiosity and asked, could it be that this is a parasitic species endemic to the Forest of Grace, and it can only be collected at this time. If so, then the twigs of this parasitic tree are indeed a good gift for others.

Parasitic wood can be used as a fodder for many alchemical potions, especially the newly grown young leaves, which can be used to create a special neutralizer that can delay most of the toxin attack. And this one of the leaves, which is particularly brightly colored, clearly has more power.

"Alas, no...... It's just a piece of twig that I've collected, not any special material. However, in the face of Frick's question, Suval seemed to be a little confused, "If you feel good about Sierra Leone's seniors, maybe it's because I picked a good branch with a better configuration." ”

If he could see the leaf that Frick was referring to, he probably wouldn't have had this strange reaction—the bright green was like a jewel, with an extraordinary brilliance. Even a layman can see that this leaf contains more power than all the others combined.

However, Suval did not react to the rare fresh leaf, as if he had really seen nothing, and that it was purely by accident that he gave it to Frick.
