The next day, Rowan and Jessica arrived as promised.

"So before I get to the point, there's one thing I have to say up front. ”

Leah said as she looked at her brother and sister.

"As you know, space magic is currently the most mysterious magic in the Randall Kingdom, so neither the princess nor I are willing to let it leak out.

Miss Jessica, as much as I would love you to help me with my next magical experiment, until then, I have to tell you that this matter may be more troublesome than I thought. ”

I want the other party to help strengthen the teleportation crystal, but it is difficult to ensure that the knowledge of space-time magic is not revealed. In particular, neither Jessica nor Rowan are native to Randall, which gives the difficult problem of "preventing leaks" a big challenge.

"First of all, the condition we can put forward is that you unilaterally teach me how to enhance the stability of magic items, and in turn, I will pay you a decent reward, and believe me, the money, and even the magic materials, will not disappoint you. ”

Leah said.

"Woo, no, no, what I'm interested in isn't gold...... Oh no, I'm interested in gold, but I'd rather be able to get in touch with the space-time magic, and I'm not going to compromise on that. ”

Jessica shook her head, although alchemists generally choose alchemy that is close to their own attributes, it doesn't mean that they can't create zào or use other items.

"In that case, there is another option, that is, you join the Kingdom of Randall and act with us until the Kingdom deems it appropriate, and I am afraid that you do not have the right to choose to join another country again. ”

Hear the other person's answer. Leah threw another way.

That's right, just join the kingdom of Randall. Naturally, I am not afraid of intelligence leaks, as for how to prevent them. That's a matter of the state organs. Little Lori thinks that if the kingdom can't even control its own people, even if the results of space-time magic are handed over to the Demon Martial Arts Academy, I'm afraid it won't take a month for the world to be full of space-time magic.

That is to say...... House arrest?"

Rowan frowned.

"Not to that point, but there are certainly restrictions on movement, and if you have to understand it that way, I won't argue with that. ”

Leah shook her head. She wasn't worried that the other party would not agree, after all, the enhancement technique was not as rare as that kind of Cheng dù, it really didn't work, she could wait for Isha to finish dealing with the colossus and then come to help her.

"I think ......"

For Rowan, the former is clearly more acceptable than the latter. Not only can you get paid financially. It also avoids the big trouble of restricting personal freedom.

"We chose the latter. ”

However, before he could finish his sentence, Jessica interrupted. Apparently Rowan underestimated the girl's quest for magic.

"Hey...... Jessica ......"

"It's nothing, cousin. Since my father and mother can move from the Holy Sect Kingdom to Mage City in pursuit of magic, what is the problem with me moving from Mage City to Randall in pursuit of magic? Not to mention that I don't have the idea of spreading space magic myself, so the so-called restrictions are actually nothing, right?"

"This ......"

Jessica's rebuttal left Rowan speechless. However, the conversation between the two made Alec, who had been standing beside Leah, frown.

"Wait, you're from the Holy Cult?"

As we all know, Randall and the Holy Cult are currently in a tight fight, and as a result, the two people in front of him turned out to be on the enemy side, which is not something that can be regarded as something that cannot be seen.

"I can tell from the fact that you are not native to Galoa, but I didn't expect it to be the Holy Church. ”

Even Leah frowned. However, little Lori knew in her heart that in the Holy Cult Country, magic was basically regarded as a heresy, and people who could abandon the original noble class and come to Mage City for the sake of magic. Basically, there is no connection with the Holy Religion anymore.

"Ah, I know what is going on between you and the Holy Cult, don't worry. My cousin and I have had little contact with the Holy Church for a long time. Not to mention...... In fact, I'm a master alchemist of the necromantic system. ”

Jessica's words completely denied the brother and sister's connection to the Holy Church. Necromancy is a type of magic that uses negative energy from life as opposed to druid magic and the healing magic of the Holy Cult. If mages are considered heretical, necromancers are mortal enemies.

[Then again.] Not to mention how they knew I needed to find an alchemist, Rowan and the knight almost fought for their lives, and then told me and Alec that they were from the Holy Cult Country, and if they were really spies, such an act would be too self-digging. 】

Leah and Alec looked at each other, and they confirmed in each other's eyes that they were thinking the same thing.

"I see, you really don't have anything to do with the Holy Cult. So, Miss Jessica has chosen the second option, what about you, Mr. Rowan?"

So Leah asked.

"Whew...... Let's not talk about that. I'm sorry, but it's very unpleasant to talk about the Holy Church, yes, very unpleasant.

Come on, Alec, let's finish the previous duel, I'm desperate for someone to fight now. ”

Rowan was permeated with a visible depression on his body, and no matter how he looked at it, he seemed to have a feeling of hatred more hatred than hatred for the Holy Sect State.

"Ah, then come, but I declare in advance, no matter what your mood is, I must regret to tell you that you have found the wrong opponent to fight. ”

The two of them walked away with the smell of gunpowder, leaving Jessica and Leah staring at each other.

"Let's go too, and talk about the future work by the way. ”

Jessica said.

"Mr. Rowan is still ......"

"Ann, Ann, I promise my cousin will agree, if he dares not to agree, he will stay in the mage city and nibble on rusks. ”

Jessica patted her chest and swore an oath.

Since the other party said so, Leah took her through the simple nationality conversion procedures and then introduced her to Karen and the others. Then little Lori took Jessica to her workshop.

There, a diamond-shaped azure crystal floated silently in the center of the room. The entire room was shrouded in a mysterious glow.

"This is the Teleportation Crystal. ”

"I've heard you say it before, but seeing it in person is even more impressive. It's incredible!"

The crystal is a pure collection of spatial elements, and Jessica looks at it like a child has found a new toy.

"Here are some necessary information. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. ”

"Well, leave it to me. ”

Jessica happily took the stack of documents from Leah and said.

"Ahh The research into teleportation magic has reached a bottleneck now, and some new technology is urgently needed to open the way.

And that way, I also have free time to work on new things. ”

"Something new?"

Leah's words caught Jessica's attention.

"Well...... Strictly speaking, it should be regarded as something that has been delayed for a long time and has not been done, and this is the ......"

Leah said as she opened a small box, and the moment she opened the box, the enchanting golden particles captured Jessica's entire gaze.

That's so far. Another element that does not belong to any faction - the element of time......

After Leah and Jessica had done all the preparations, Rowan and Alec walked back. Both of them have blue noses and swollen faces, making it unclear who wins and loses.

"Cousin. ”

Jessica trotted all the way up to meet her.

"Like we said, Alec and I are going to have a drink, would you like to come?"

Rowan asked, touching Jessica's head.

"Well...... This side of the matter is also finished, so it's not impossible to have a drink with you. ”

Jessica blinked.

"So, Lord Leah, do I have the honor to invite you along?"

Alec wasted no time in extending the invitation.

"Okay, I'll stay with you. ”

Leah thought for a moment. Agreed to Alec's invitation.

The peculiar foursome came to the bar, where the beautiful girls were like moths to lure the lights, attracting the men from time to time. Of course, Alec, as a knight, and Rowan, as an older brother, obviously won't let anyone approach Leah and Jessica.

Speaking of which. Why does Mr. Rowan hate knights so much?"

Little Lori noticed that when the boss saw Rowan and Alec together, his expression was like a ghost.

Rowan had never met with the knights before the duel, and the reason for the argument was to get into it. Naturally, it won't be because of anyone's personal reasons, the only explanation is that Rowan hates the identity of the knight itself.

"Just call me Rowan. Don't be so polite. ”

Hearing Leah's words, Rowan's expression stiffened significantly.

He shouted a glass of wine. After raising his head and drinking it all, he said:

"Ah, you're right, I do hate knights. If you have to say it...... It should start from the beginning......

The Roland family is a minor nobleman of the Salman Holy Cult, but in my parents' generation, they are crazy about alchemy, and even abandon the family's honor and wealth to go to Mage City.

They took Jessica at the time, and I ...... I didn't have much interest in magic, so I stayed in the Holy Cult. As you can see, my martial arts skills are not bad, and I soon became a knight of the Holy Cult. ”

For martial artists, Mage City is not a very popular place, both the martial arts atmosphere and the provision of resources are very scarce, for example, Alec and the others had a headache for a long time just to find a blacksmith shop. If Rowan wants to go further on the path of a martial artist, then it is not difficult to understand that he chose to stay.

"Later, Jessica came to the Holy Church Kingdom to look for me, and I was naturally very happy when my cousin, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, came back. But as you know, the Holy Church doesn't welcome necromancers. I didn't tell anyone about Jessica, except my best friend, who was also a knight...... And then betrayed me. ”

The best friend betrayed himself and reported the deposit named Jessica to the Holy Cult, which is why Rowan hated the knights.

"You're angry. ”

Alec took a sip of wine and shook his head. He was right, it makes no sense to hate all knights because of the betrayal of his friends.

"I know. Of course I do, but I just can't forgive, do you know what they did to Jessica? Jessica hasn't been able to release her magic until now, only with that musket......"

"Rowan - !!"

Rowan's voice grew more and more agitated, but was interrupted by an angry Jessica.

"Well...... Sorry, Jessica.

In a word...... I just hate knights. Even if it's just anger. ”

Rowan shrugged.

He didn't finish his words, but Leah could still guess what had happened - after staying with the other party for a long time, she could feel that Jessica's mental power was very unstable, and it was very weak, and it was impossible to release magic above the second level. Combined with Luo Wen's words, it is likely that she was sealed with spiritual power by the Holy Sect State.

To make matters worse, the Holy Church's normal way of dealing with heretics should be to burn at the stake, not simply seal the psychic power. In other words, Jessica was not punished by law, but some kind of after-effects of human experimentation with no morality at all, in other words, she must have become some kind of guinea pig for experimentation.

"Miss Leah, I agree to your request, but there is a premise - if Randall is at war with the Holy Cult, let me go to the front, if I can kill the people of the Holy Cult, this deal seems to be a profit for me. ”

Rowan tilted his head and drank the wine in his hand.

Boom!

Empty wine glasses made a dull noise on the table. (To be continued......)
