"It's just a trivial question, and I'm going to ask Thomas to solve it, but if you know, answer me too. When he relaxed, he seemed to be able to hide some of the changes in himself, but with the high tension of the moment, these changes could not hide from Edward's eyes.

"Your Excellency Edward, your current position does not seem to be qualified to talk to us about the conditions,"

Female mage, Roseblack raised her gaze and stared at the person who also hid half of his face in the darkness: "Don't forget that you are not only our accomplice, but also, the life of His Royal Highness Prince Strand, is in your hands at this moment. ”

Is it really straightforward?

"It's life? Why don't you try to kill him?"

Edward sneered, "That way I don't have to be curious." ”

"Bluffing is worthless, Lord Edward. ”

"Bluff?": The Psychic Warlock laughs, "Yes, he is my friend, and I am willing to help him with many things, but what do you think I will do if he dies?" Miss, don't you know that hostages are valuable only when they are alive, and once something goes wrong, they are completely meaningless?

"Can you really watch him die?"

"If necessary. ”

"Then it seems, you won. The mage sighed softly, "I don't have that authority to deal with him, but,"

The female mage's voice slammed.

Because she suddenly realized that between these few words, her thinking was actually a little uncontrollable, and she said things that shouldn't have been said in the first place!

The surrounding illusion barrier had been dispelled by itself, and all the eyes in the barracks had been focused on this vicinity in an instant. And in this case, he even said in a grand manner that he wanted to kill a prince?

Well, those rebellious words, or there is still a chance to make amends, after all, although the illusion has just been cracked and disappeared by himself, and the onlookers around him have not yet reacted, but just now, he himself said that he has no authority to deal with this kind of thing - this is simply throwing his own initiative to the other party, and he has no right to dispose of it, so what is the other party talking to him?

Staring at the calm and silent black figure in front of her, the female mage spat out a whisper fiercely, the amulets and rings on her fingers, wrists, and necks flickered with light, and several defensive spells against enchantment were excited at the same time, but the colorful luster could not bring her the slightest sense of security, how did the other party stand quietly, staring at the silver eyes that flickered faintly in the shadow of the hood, she couldn't help but tremble, as if the magic on her body, even the clothes, and even the musculoskeletal blood vessels of the skin no longer existed, and only she was reflected in those silver eyes** of the soul!

"I see, you can't deal with it? ”

As if mocking, the voice under the black robe became gentler: "It seems that there is no need to say anything to you anymore. ”

"You can try it, kill us, and you won't get the ...... you want," the female mage snorted, the energy of magic swirling around her, and in an instant, several signs of spells had been condensed, and those vigorous energy fluctuations made the psychic warlock's brow furrow.

Although he had seen each other a few times in the past few months, he had the impression that the other party's strength was only around the five rings, but now, the few magic around her, the fierce gray-green energy seemed to be a dissociation technique, and a golden one was obviously the Otiluk energy orb, and the remaining one, although it was impossible to distinguish, was also a very powerful spell, which should have passed the seven rings.

Although it is possible to hide her strength, it is obvious that her current state is not her old strength - the same is true of Rudolph's high-level knight power, and it seems that the deputy mentor of Thomas has probably mastered a method that can quickly improve a person's strength.

However, this approach seems to be costly.

And, of course, like Rudolph, the female mage's mind was also extremely guarded, and not even a single crevice could be found.

"Why do you have such a tragic expression? I don't want you to die generously, what good will it do me if I kill you?" The Psychic Warlock smiled slightly, lowered his gaze, and then the viscous and stagnant air around him seemed to flow again: "What's more, after killing you, where am I going to find Deputy Mentor Thomas?"

His tone was as relaxed as ever, but with these words, an invisible ripple came out from all around him, and the air around him seemed to be sticky, and the ripple expanded like a ripple in a calm water!

But the moment the ripples expanded, a series of muffled snorts around him came and went!

A dozen robed figures were separated from the void, the shadows, and even the dirt and the cloth of the tabernacle, each of them staggering back, groaning and growling, thin lines of blood shooting from their ears and noses, their bodies as if they had lost control, but without exception, they all looked up and looked at the man in the black robe in the center with a strange and frightened look.

The strange scene made all the soldiers who had just noticed the changes taking place open their mouths in surprise, and their bodies tickled as if a few ants had crawled on them—although the insignia of the National Mage of Tuminis hung prominently on the front of their robes or around their waists, it still terrified the hearts of those who had actually walked through the battlefield a few times. If such a team were their enemy, they could easily lose their heads without even realizing it, relying on such stealth technology!

So, what kind of person should be the person who can make them stumble back in an instant?

Not many people think about it.

"What exactly do you want?"

Seeing that the dozen or so mages under her command finally staggered to their feet, Rose Blake spoke, a little trembling in her hoarse voice—the terrible ripples that swept through her heart for a moment, but disappeared in an instant, but instead of feeling relaxed, a new pressure crept in, like a thousand pounds of boulders pressing on top of her head, almost making her unable to breathe.

This pressure is everywhere, and it is no longer weight, but as if the whole world is hostile!

The female mage had to summon almost all her mental strength before she could speak, and she never imagined that the person in front of her would be so ...... Her perception of magic, of power, seemed to be completely useless at this moment, as if she was not facing a person, but a ......

But even the word is indescribable......

"As I said, since you can't make a decision, find someone who can make a decision. ”

Things didn't go as smoothly as expected, and the psychic warlock didn't hide the impatience in his words, the power of the divine power strengthened the power of the mind, and the peaceful voice exploded like thunder in the minds of everyone who received it, making the already injured and weak even can't suppress the roar.

"You ......"

"Greetings, Sir Edward. ”

At the same time as the female mage spoke, a voice interrupted her, and her expression instantly turned into anger: "Rudolph, you ...... This bastard!"

But the scolding fell silent halfway through, turning into a small curse. She lowered her hand and bowed slightly—in that direction, Rudolph held in his hand a finely polished ornament wrapped in intricate runes, and a shadow of light reflected in it, constructing the figure of Thomas Edinson.

The sub-guru was still dressed in a red robe, but the neat flannel did not seem to be so scorching as a flame, but like a hearth that could warm people's hearts on a rainy night, and so was his person, and the smile on his clean face was equally calm and calm, as if he was talking to a close friend about a nostalgic past.

"It seems that these two of my not-so-smart subordinates have caused you a little trouble? I'm really sorry, but you also know that in this day and age, there are very few young people who can work hard, so can you forgive them for their small negligence just because the relationship between you and me has always been harmonious?"

"Congratulations, you seem to have made new progress?"

After a pause, he looked the person in front of him up and down, but was interrupted by the other party's unceremonious recycling: "Polite words are forgiven, you know I don't have much patience to talk to you." ”

"Alas, yes, we all have our own troubles. ”

The deputy tutor nodded, not half stunned by the other party's rudeness: "You see, I have a secret here that will make several mentors a little unhappy...... And for you...... For example, the thing you own, it seems to cause you a lot of trouble, doesn't it? though I've always insisted that there's no right or wrong thing about magical items. ”

"I don't seem to be in any trouble right now. Edward said, "And, if you talk about trouble, you won't actually be too far behind, or, Your Excellency the Vice-Mentor, do you intend to take that trouble on my shoulder?"

This is a passage that only the two of them can understand, but it is not a complicated secret, and Edward knows exactly what Thomas means, nothing more than wanting to use him to hide the secret for Edward, and use that fragment of royal power as a bargaining chip in exchange for Edward's non-interference in what he is planning.

But for Edward, whether it was the secret or the fragment of royal power, it was not the most urgent thing he needed.

Somebody is looking for trouble? So what?

At least for the time being, he is no longer afraid of this threat.

"Indeed, for you, this process is no longer a trouble, but it still takes time and energy to deal with them, and now, these are the two things you lack the most, aren't they?" Thomas smiled slightly: "I know that you have been busy trying to find your companions, unlike you, I have always stayed away from trouble." That's why I've always thought and hoped that you could come to my side like a friend, and let us end this war immediately. That way, you get what you want, and I get what I want, and that's the most pleasant ending, isn't it?"

......

The slender figure moved deftly in the narrow corridors between the tents, and finally, like a small fish, approached the most ornate tent in the center, gently lifted a corner, and lowered its head to burrow.

"How's it going?" said a standing young figure behind the tabernacle.

"He went to General Rudolph, as if to ask him something, and then they fought. And then he almost killed him......"

"He's going to kill that ...... He's going to kill Rudolph?" Prince Strand's took the hand of his only maid, "And then? Did he kill him?"

"Prince, you ......" In a hurry, the young prince exerted great force, and the slender maid showed a painful look on her face, but she only let out a faint whimper, and then gritted her teeth and continued to pray: "No, he has no ......"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm in too much of a hurry. ”

Noticing the girl's expression, Strand hurriedly let go, but obviously he exerted a lot of force under the excitement, and the maid's slender wrist had been swollen a few times, and the bright red color was quite eye-catching on the white wrist, which made the young prince a little at a loss, and wanted to rub it for her, but he was afraid that she would hurt more.

"It doesn't matter, Your Highness, it doesn't matter to me. The maid hurriedly spoke as if comforted, hiding her hand behind her back: "Well, please don't worry, Lord Rudolph was not killed, but may have been slightly injured, but Lord Edward is really a little too reckless, because Rose? Mage Black was nearby, and she and dozens of her mages intervened in the matter, and in the end they seemed to have reached some kind of agreement, but unfortunately, I couldn't get too close, so I don't know what they said, and then, the Earl of Edward left,"

"You don't have to be so respectful to me, it's not like you don't know who I am anyway. The young prince shook his head helplessly: "When we are alone, you don't use this awkward accent to talk to me, it sounds very uncomfortable." ”

"That's not good, for me, you are the supreme prince, this is something I must keep in mind. The little maid shook her head: "Moreover, this is also a completely undoubted fact. My status is low, so please don't take me lightly in the future, Your Royal Highness, it will affect your reputation. ”

Hold on

"It's not reckless, he can't do it, but if he does, then it means that he is already seventy percent sure. ”

Strahan exhaled lightly, seemingly relieved, but a little regretful: "This guy's temper has been like this since he was a child, he won't touch the opponent who can't move, but if he feels that he can move, then he will definitely not hesitate to do it immediately, alas, but this time it seems that he may have miscalculated, Blake's woman is not ordinary, although her ability may not be Edward's opponent, but she has a lot of subordinates, and now almost more than half of the entire national mage team is under her control, right?" In that case, will that old guy use me as a punching bag?"

"No, thankfully it appeared,"

"Well, His Excellency Master Black seems to have asked him this question,"

"He said he doesn't care about your life, and if you die, he just needs to avenge you......" The girl's voice slowly weakened,

"What's the solution, our strength is simply not enough to participate in it, we are just pawns. The only way to do this is to try to become chess players, even if we can control it. ”

The young prince sighed.

"I'm sure he'll do his best to get the best out of me. Because he is that kind of person, he will not approach anyone, he will always be wary of you in his heart until you become his friend, but once he becomes a friend, he will make a gesture for you

That's right, that's him, it's complicated to be alone, and even more so than not, he's a little monster...... Do you know? I know very well that he is just threatening those two people this time, hostages are very difficult to deal with, when others threaten you with hostages, you can only use the simplest means to express that the hostages are not important, in order to really ensure the safety of the hostages.

But I also don't doubt that he would do that if necessary.

"Isn't he your friend?"

"Yes, he is my friend, good friend. Strand was stunned, then smiled wryly. "But, after all, it's a friend, little Leila, you know, friends are only based on mutual benefits, and you can't expect a friend to help you make a difference. ”

"Let's just say that although friends can stick knives in each other's ribs, it is also based on the premise that you will not betray, if you can't help your friend when he is in trouble, or even make trouble for him, then how much point does your friend have?"

"Friendship can indeed be overdrawn, but it can't be overdrawn indefinitely," the corners of Strand's mouth raised, but the smile looked a little bitter: "In this world, no one will selflessly dedicate to another person, only a mother will do that, and the rest, whether it is love, friendship, or loyalty, or whatever, must have a purpose, maybe that purpose can be insignificant, but it is not without zài." No matter who it is, they have a bottom line of their own...... Or rather, the price code. That's what Edward once told me. ”

"As long as you pay enough, there is nothing in this world that is influenced by feelings," Rs
