"Well, thank you, Mr. Jace." Lambert nodded in reply.

"How many times have I told you that I want to call Brother Jace, although I am a bit of an insider in terms of age, but you call Brother Jaylant, so I can't be left behind here." Jace deliberately pretended to be angry and said to Lambert.

When Lambert saw Jace's expression, he also replied with a smile: "Got it, Brother Jace! Now I'm satisfied! ”

After Lambert waved goodbye to Jace, he came to the door of Zyra the witch's room alone, he knocked lightly on the door a few times, and saw that there was no response inside, but he tried to push it gently, and he found that the door was unlocked.

Lambert cautiously walked into the room, calling Zyra's name as he entered.

Zyra's room was very large, and the environment here was like a small forest, except that this forest was different from the Great Forest of Elnica that Lambert had seen a few days ago, and the plants and trees that grew here were dark and dark, as if they were all cursed.

Lambert took a few more steps inside, and he found that Zyra was standing under a large tree, carefully examining the tree's condition.

"Coming? I've been waiting for you for a long time. Zyra had already anticipated Lambert's visit just by hearing Lambert's footsteps.

"Uh... Hello Zyra-senpai, I'm Lambert, how did you know I was coming to you? Lambert looked very puzzled, he had just decided to come to Zyra, he didn't tell anyone, and Mr. Jace couldn't have had time to come to her in advance.

"We witches have a certain ability to predict the future, but my strength is not enough, so the foreseen future is extremely limited, when we first met, I already saw that there would be such a day, so if you have anything to do, just watch the door and tell me, there is no need to hide it." Zyra the witch turned her head to whisper to Lambert as she stroked the dead tree in front of her.

"Okay, Zyra-senpai, I'm here to find you today just to learn about the dark arts, I want to improve my strength through the dark arts, and gain the power to fight the demon king Asmodeus." Lambert clenched his fists and said to Zyra very seriously.

"Your expression is serious, but don't you think what you say is really not funny? If the dark arts can easily raise the strength of the demon hunter to the level of fighting the demon king, then why does that guy Asmodeus dare to be arrogant in the Ark Continent? Let's just use black magic to make a few death squads, and don't we beat those demons back to the demon realm? Zyra said with a smile on her face.

Lambert naturally thinks that what Zyra said is very reasonable, but although Zyra said so, at least she did not refute the statement that black magic can quickly improve strength, so Lambert continued: "As long as I can improve my strength, I am far from being able to protect everyone, and I am far from being able to meet Mr. Odin's expectations for me, so I want to use black magic to help myself improve my strength, although this is a shortcut, but I think there is really not much time left, If it drags on any longer, not to mention that he can't keep the demonic sword in his hand, even the Ark Continent will probably end up in the hands of Asmodeus. ”

Hearing this, Zyra put away the smile on her face, she coughed lightly twice, and continued to ask Lambert: "Yes, I have studied black magic to some extent, and it can indeed help you improve your strength, but this thing has side effects, and I haven't fully observed what this side effect is, because the effect of this black magic is very changeable, and the number of times I can experiment is too small, so if I use it, there may be irreparable consequences, even so, Do you have to stick to black magic too? ”

Lambert was silent for a while, it was obvious that Lambert couldn't have completely ignored Jace and Zyra's warnings, and if there really was an irreparable situation, wouldn't Lambert himself regret it at that time?

Seeing that Lambert couldn't make up her mind, Zyra also smiled, and she said to Lambert: "It seems that you haven't thought about it yet, but this is normal, for anyone, things with both risks and benefits always have to be considered before doing, anyway, I've been here, you can come to me after you think about it, but I can tell you one thing, that is, this black magic that can improve your strength is not that I teach you to improve your strength on the spot, but you can use it after you learn it, so as to achieve the effect you want."

So you don't just have one chance to regret it, but twice, and if you learn it and figure it out, then it's better to act as if you've never touched it. ”

Lambert nodded solemnly, thanked Zyra, and then left Zyra's room.

"Huh? Wait a minute, come here, I've got something for you. Zyra stopped Lambert, who wanted to leave.

Lambert stopped his tracks, turned around, and returned to Zyra's side. Zyra released a black-purple soul-like mass from her palm.

"Get out of your Demon Sword." Zyra said to Lambert.

"yes, okay." Lambert took out the Demon Sword from his back and displayed it in front of Zyra.

Zyra channeled the black-purple substance released just now into the demonic sword in Lambert's hand, and with a burst of pleasure absorbing power, Lambert found that his level suddenly reached level forty, directly breaking through the forty mark.

"Zyra-senpai, what is this?" Lambert felt the thrill of his increased strength, but at the same time he was a little unsure.

"Don't worry, this is the demon soul I collected, don't you have to rely on absorbing the soul of the demon or demonic beast to level up? I see that you are just stuck at level thirty-nine, so I will supply the collected soul to your demonic sword to absorb, so that you can just reach level forty, which can be regarded as a gift for you. Zyra said to Lambert with a smile.

"Then thank you Zyra-senpai!" Lambert bowed deeply to Zyra and left the palace of St. Mayad.

On the way back to the Battle Academy, Lambert has been thinking about a question, that is, whether he should learn this dark magic, since Zyra's predecessor said that black magic can indeed improve his strength, then this has already met his needs, so what do he have to wait for? But once there are irreparable consequences, what should I do then?

"Hey... Tangled to death. The more Lambert thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he picked up a stone by the side of the road and hurried it to the other side, only to find that there was someone standing in the direction where he had thrown it.

"Hey! Be careful! Lambert hurriedly reminded loudly, but it was too late, and when Lambert thought he was about to get into trouble again, who knew that the other party could easily catch the stone that was vigorously thrown out of Lambert's hand.

You must know that with the strength of Lambert's level 39 demon hunter, the power of the stones thrown out with all his might will not be much lower than the power of some ordinary skills, but since the other party can easily catch it, it means that this person's strength is definitely not below Lambert.

"Why are you so grumpy?" The man tossed the stone Lambert threw into the air and took it back in his hand, playing with the stone in his hand and saying to Lambert in a cycle.

"Uh... Not in a good mood... Dare to ask your honorable name? Lambert did not step forward, but stood in place and asked the other party, after all, the identity of the other party is not clear, if it is an enemy, then Lambert himself must be too careless.

"Me? Just an ordinary passerby. You don't have to worry too much about me, but I still want to remind you that at no time should you ever think of taking shortcuts to solve your problem, or you will regret it. So the man left without looking back.

Lambert just wanted to stop the other party and ask a few words, but the other party stopped paying attention to Lambert at all.

"What a weirdo... But this person seems to know what I'm worried about? ... It's weird... Forget it, go back to sleep! Tomorrow's things will be talked about tomorrow! Rotten today! Lambert stretched, and sped back to the War College.

Lambert's Class C returned to normal teaching after Jace returned, and although the Battle Academy still looked very peaceful and comfortable, Lambert would only see it as a false façade, knowing that it would not be long before this comfortable life would disappear.

"Hey! Lambert! It's me again! Lambert suddenly felt a soft hand patting him on his back, and the voice seemed familiar to its owner.

Lambert turned his head and found that it was Namira from Class B next door, and Namira had been hanging out with Yolambert before, but Nicole and Leah had always protected Lambert tightly and did not give Namira a chance at all.

When Lambert learned Namira's name, it was a few days after the opening of the Rose Weapons Shop, and at that time, Namira came to the Rose Arms Shop to help, and she didn't need a penny of payment, in order to be able to help Lambert.

Looking at the blonde girl in front of him, Lambert scratched his head with a smile and said, "Namira, it's you, is there anything to do with me?" ”

Namira put her hands behind her back, and tapped lightly on one toe, and asked Lambert:

"I haven't seen you in days, where have you been lately? Do you have time to hang out with me after class today? I found a nice dessert shop, why don't you try it together? ”
