Curt and Fretia overturned, falling to the floor with a chair. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!) He never dreamed that the mage and the priest would fight like this. Isn't the so-called contest between spellcasters supposed to be more elegant?, but under the elves' fingernails, Curt couldn't find any beauty.

Fretia pressed against Curt's top, slender but ferocious. There were tears in her eyes, and it seemed like a standard annoyance. Inadvertently, Curt accomplished the feat of driving the Elven Priest into madness. Generally speaking, elves are a quiet and low-key race, and they rarely quarrel with people.

Fretia, of course, is a special case. She left the forest and came to the distant city of Qianfa. Although Fretia did not say it, there was no lack of confusion and uneasiness in her heart. Without the guidance of the true god Corellon, Fretia would have gone back to the south. The elves that inhabit human society are very rare, unless they have apotheased in the first place.

And in her relationship with the human children, Fretia is loved like never before. Compared to the introverted elves, humans are more lively and outgoing. Many children see Fretia as a mixture of mother and sister, and completely open their hearts to her. They are intimate with Freitia, as if they were real blood relatives.

Therefore, Fretia spoiled her children unconditionally, treating them as her own relatives. Fretia actively responds to the children's affection and takes on more complex tasks than a nanny. She loves taking care of children and loves being trusted by them. So when Curt severely punished the child, leaving Fretia unable to intervene, Fretia felt irrepressible rage for the first time in her life.

"Stop!"

Curt grabbed Freitia's hands and shouted in laughter. It may be fun to fight with beautiful women, but Curt, who has several nail marks on his face, is really not sensitive. He didn't expect this to turn out at all, so much so that he was very wolfy. Fretia leaned forward relentlessly, wanting to give Curt a little more color.

In the next second, Curt tugged at Fretia's hands and rolled to the side. With Guò's simple fighting skills, he threw Fretia off her body. As Fretia screamed dizzily, Curt rode onto the other. This action caused a series of collisions, but fortunately no one planned to check it out.

"Calm me down!"

As Fretia struggled desperately to turn things around, Curt grabbed Freitia's hands with one hand and slapped her in the face. With slender wrists and little strength, Fretia couldn't resist, and as a result, she was beaten to the point that the corners of her mouth were broken. Curt felt a slight apology as blood snaked down the corners of Freitia's mouth. He let go of Fretia, who was no longer struggling, and said with a frown:

"Don't trouble me, Lady Fretea. Maybe you are very close to the children, so you want to protect them at every cost. That's a good thing, but don't overdo it. Once a child is spoiled, it becomes an incurable waste. And you have to understand that I know far better than you about how to survive in the Thousand Laws City. Unless you're going to let the kids go back to the forest with you, you'll have to listen to me. ”

"You're a tyrant. ”

Fretia slowly stood up and raised her hand to wipe the corners of her mouth. She looked at the blood stains on the back of her hand, and then said in a low voice:

"I'm not going to give the child to you, Curt. You're a cold-blooded monster, and you don't know how to love anyone at all. ”

"Yes, my feelings for children are not as great as 'love'. ”

Curt stroked the scars on his face, a look of impatience. He watched Fretia walk briskly to the door of the room, and said coldly:

"I just want the kids to live and live as well as they can. If you don't understand, then at least don't get in the way. ”

"No, like I said, you don't know what 'love' is, Mr. Curt. You're a strategist through and through, calm, cruel, and ruthless, so you've never loved anyone. I'm curious, how did you grow up. It's so sad that you live in a world without love. ”

Fretia stopped at the door. She turned around and finished her sentence with a blank face. At some point, Fretia regained her complete calm. She looked at Curt with the transparent gaze peculiar to elves, and continued in a perceptive tone:

"You are insulated from love, and therefore unusually powerful. It's a blessing and a curse. No one can touch your soul, it is lonely. Your heart is a frozen throne, and I hope that you will feel comfortable frozen on it. ”

“...... Thank you. ”

Curt instinctively wanted to refute, but he was inexplicably speechless. He reluctantly responded to Fretia, then watched as the other man closed the door and left. In the silence of the space, Curt suddenly felt empty and cold. He sat down in his chair and fell into deep thought.

Fretia was right, Curt never loved anyone. Or rather, he tried to love, but he didn't get anything in return. Curt once considered the druids of the Sorcery Overseers Association to be family, but the druids refused to accept Curt. As a result, their relationship deteriorated, and finally they were reduced to a battle to the death.

So what?, Curt thought boredly. In his life, affection and kindness were luxuries. Just to survive, Curt did everything he could. It wasn't until after Abys's death that Curt was a little more relaxed. However, he still faces an opponent as strong as Ioham, and the slightest mistake will surely lead to death.

In addition to this, the Grand Druid McDonough must also be trying to find Curt. He needs Curt to explain the destruction of the Spell Overseer Society, or to put Curt to death.

"Boring. ”

Curt, who had finished sorting out his feelings, shook his head, no longer confused. As he was about to stand up, a pair of arms came wrapped around his back. Ani, who appeared at some point, hugged Curt softly and whispered:

"Nothing to worry about, Curt, and I don't know how to love someone. ”

“...... Oh, yes. ”

Curt was silent, and suddenly smiled again. He stroked Ani's cold arm, and felt the world in front of him suddenly open up.

"I don't need to love, Ani, that's too reluctant. ”

Curt says:

But I only have to look back and be sure that I haven't lost the ability to love. This affection is too precious and extravagant, so I only leave it to the only depository. ”

Before Curt could turn her neck, Ani, whose face was flushed, had turned into countless points of light and dissipated. She had wanted to punish Fretia for offending Curt, but now it doesn't matter.

Curt inhaled deeply, then exhaled. He felt an indescribable joy, an indescribable joy. Curt sat for a long time before he gradually regained his composure. He nodded and made his decision. - After completing his revenge on Eoham, Curt will begin his life. He wants to end his life of deceit and find a new beginning.

Over the next few days, Fretia began to ignore Curt's save. She did things on her own, and she completely treated Curt as air. The children were also afraid of Curt and stayed away from him. Only Apprentices 1 and 3 were unaffected, and they had long since become accustomed to Curt's way of doing things.

And in the eyes of apprentices No. 1 and No. 3, Curt has proven that he is doing the right thing by making it to this point. The rules of survival in the city of a thousand laws are very cruel, which can be seen from how miserable the homeless people outside the city are.

Silently, the small twists and turns are over. Curt continued to concentrate on his practice, preparing for the Faceless Test in half a month. Because of Randall's connections, some people are doing things in secret, and Curt knows this. After he met with Randall again, he finally couldn't help but take action.

When Gordon was summoned back to the Mage Tower by Curt, he was somewhat regretful. Gordon had a comfortable time in the Thieves' Guild, and he shared a common language with the thieves. Because of the relationship between day and night, the relationship between Gordon and Cameron has become more and more harmonious. They sometimes discuss firearms in private, and they are very curious about the origin of such weapons.

"Get ready, we're going to be out of town once. ”

After meeting Gordon and Cameron, Curt gave orders directly. Bloom, the frost giant, stood on top, already packing his bags. An hour earlier, the herald had approached Curt and told him that someone was in trouble with the Swordsmith Mercenaries. Of the five mercenary groups that worked for Curt, the Swordsmith was the most loyal and reliable, and it seems that someone was planning to use this to show him the color.

So the four of them, including Curt, went out together and arrived at their destination at noon on the third day. The sword-forging mercenary group is responsible for cleaning up the monsters near the molten iron pit, and has always performed very well. Their work has been unsustainable these days, because one of the largest mercenary groups in Thousand Laws City, the Manticore Mercenary Regiment, is stationed nearby, deliberately blocking the trade road.

By the time Curt arrived, several caravans had been trapped in the tundra for four days. Their indignation was palpable, but in the face of the bright sword, the merchants still dared not speak out. There are as many as 200 members of the Manticore Mercenary Group, and most of them are veterans of the battlefield. They recklessly extorted caravans, snatching some food and tents from time to time, and they were completely robbers.

Until such a situation, Cedric, the leader of the sword-forging mercenary group, was incapable of doing anything. After the last battle, his men had been reduced to only thirty. In the face of the deliberate provocation of the Manticore-tailed mercenary group, Cedric could only hold back. He repeatedly backed down, trying to avoid a head-on confrontation with the Manticore mercenary group.

Because Cedric knew very well that there was no point in the courage of flesh and blood for a while. So all he had to do was stall for time while trying to restrain his increasingly angry subordinates.

It wasn't until Curt arrived that Cedric breathed a sigh of relief. His mindset shifted from anxious to gloating, and based on what Cedric knew about Curt, he believed that the Manticore mercenary group was about to be doomed.
