Chapter Thirty-Eight: Frank Forado

"What's the light look on his face? Could it be that he took this man prisoner?"

But Leo soon felt that something was wrong, as a thief, Perkins would never leave his back to the enemy, even if he was caught.

"Could it be that you have been mentally controlled?"

In a flash of thought, Leo immediately prepared to activate several of his magic equipment for defense. He believed that even if he recovered, the middle-aged mage would not be able to reach his previous state so quickly, so he had every chance of winning.

And at this moment, Lulu's voice suddenly came from behind the middle-aged mage: "Don't be nervous, he can't see anything now." ”

Immediately after, the girl jumped out from behind the middle-aged mage, deliberately letting Leo see her.

Leo realized that the middle-aged mage's eyes were really out of focus, and it seemed that even his perception had been cut off in some way. This made his continuous fluctuating heartbeat finally calm down completely, but for the sake of caution, he did not answer, but chose to look at Parkinson's.

The fat man knew what Leo meant, and hurriedly said, "It's exactly what Lulu said, let us in first." ”

Finally believing that things were under control, Leo opened the door to let the three in, asking, "How did you catch him?"

"We didn't catch it, he came on his own. Perkins replied with a smile, then turned to the middle-aged mage and said, "The person who speaks is our head, if you have anything to say, just talk to him." ”

Although the middle-aged mage couldn't see, he didn't lose his hearing, so he immediately recognized that the person who was talking in front of him was the young man who had impressed him before.

Such a discovery made him feel a little surprised and a little apprehensive. Because he never thought that such a low-level adventure team that looked pretty good. will be arranged to be the captain of the team, and some of the original ideas may not be realized. After all, young people are mostly impulsive and rarely understand the importance of compromise.

But since he had already taken a step, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and try: "Can you lift the ban first and let me recover my eyesight, this feels really uncomfortable." ”

Perkins hesitated, but looked at Leo, hoping that he would make a decision.

Leo shook his head and said to the middle-aged mage, "Of course there is no problem with your request. But before that, sir, would you like to explain your intentions? After all, something less pleasant had just happened between us. ”

"Yes, it is indeed unpleasant, and I am willing to apologize for our previous reckless behavior, and I am willing to compensate for it. The middle-aged mage performed a standard mage salute, and then continued, "Below is the professor of the Pale Crest Affiliated Magic Academy, and it is an honor to meet this ...... Young sir. ”

"Pale coat of arms?" Leo struggled to meet in his consciousness, and finally found information about the organization.

It's different from the usual eclectic magical organization. The Pale Crest is an organization made up entirely of necromancers. Those mages who deal with corpses and ghosts every day are harassed by negative energy all year round, most of them are indifferent and withdrawn, and have strange temperaments, so they naturally do not want to come into contact with living people often. So they set up their headquarters in a mountainous forest inaccessible to some empire. This also leads to very little news about them.

However, Leo knew that this organization was actually extremely influential, as he often saw papers from this organization in the "Magical Light" he had read. Its contents, of course, are all about the Necromancy.

For a moment, Leo had too many questions to ask. But he didn't speak immediately, but carefully observed the other party's expression, heartbeat, breathing, etc., to determine whether he was lying.

The middle-aged mage didn't notice this, but he didn't know why, but he didn't have any impatience, but waited quietly. So much so that Parkinson couldn't bear it, and he wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by Leo with his eyes.

After a few minutes, Leo was able to confirm that the other party was not lying, and then spoke again: "What shall I call you, this gentleman?"

It was an obvious temptation, but the middle-aged man replied without thinking: "My name is Feliente Forado." ”

Then he took out a silver-white metal plate from his bosom and handed it over.

Leo was stunned for a moment, then took the metal plate and looked at it.

The metal plaque was in the shape of an irregular diamond, with a pair of crossed leg bones on the front to match the pale coat of arms he remembered, and a name inscribed on the back in lingua franca: Feliente Forado.

You don't have to ask to know that this is the middle-aged mage's exclusive nameplate in the Pale Crest, which is similar to the membership card that Leo got from the Calente Magic.

Looking at the well-made nameplate with its unique magical fluctuations, Leo could not believe that this Feliente Forado would be able to forge it in such a short period of time. In other words, the other party is using his true identity to show integrity.

Leo stroked the nameplate and said, "I admire your courage and honesty, so what do you want to do when you come to me, Mr. Forado?"

"Align with each other. Feliente Forado replied without thinking.

Leo had already guessed that this might be the reason, and played with the taste: "But why should we make an alliance with you? With your current state, I'm afraid you can't even cast a single spell, and the gentleman who was injured by my friend just now will take at least a while to recover." ”

These words were already a bit provocative, but what Leo didn't expect was that Feliente Forado nodded and accepted: "Yes, what you said is true, which is one of the reasons why I took the initiative to come." In the same way, it is good for you to form an alliance, because only by pooling your forces will you have a chance to live. ”

Seeing the other party say this, Leo narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice began to turn cold: "What about the other reasons? ”

Feliente Forado smiled: "Then I'll cut it short, you should have noticed that the environment here is quite abnormal right now, and if my guess is correct, maybe in a few moments, some portal connecting to the abyss will open, and we will probably have to face countless cruel enemies." ”

"Huh. ”

Without waiting for Leo to reply, Parkinson next to him was amused: "Abyss portal? You mean there's a demon teleporting over? Why don't you talk about the devil? I prefer the devil who knows order to the devil. ”

In the face of sarcasm, Feliente Forado was not angry at all, but sniffed vigorously, and then said: "Do you smell it? The smell has already been heard, we don't have much time, and we need you to make a decision as much as possible." ”

"Smell?" Perkins sniffed, dazed. This sniff didn't matter, and horror immediately appeared on the fat man's round face: "Damn...... This is...... It's ......"

Lulu added blandly, "The smell of sulfur comes from the stench of the lower realms. ”

From Feliente Forado to the meaning. Leo never spoke again, because he had already discovered that what the other party said was indeed very likely to be true.

The sudden vision, the faint smell of sulfur, and the fluctuation of restlessness and anxiety, he had already felt these things, but he didn't think in the direction the other party said.

Then now it makes sense.

If there are really demons teleporting over, the number of them will definitely not be too small, and forming an alliance is indeed the best choice.

I analyzed all the possible scenarios in my mind. Leo said in a deep voice, "Even if there is a demon, there is no trust between us......

Before he finished speaking, Feliente Forado, who had always been polite, suddenly interrupted: "Actually, this question does not exist. ”

"Huh?" Leo let out a puzzled voice.

Feliente Forado seems to be starting to get a little anxious. He quickly replied, "Demons are chaotic and evil creatures of the lower realm, they live by killing and take pleasure in destroying miΓ¨, and you and us. Some people may follow order, some people may advocate chaos, but after all, they are all human beings in the middle realm. is a representative of neutrality. They don't care what we think when it comes to demons, their only goal is to kill us. ”

After a pause, Feliente Forado continued: "So even if there are differences and contradictions, we are still one in the face of the devil, and there is no doubt about the trust you are talking about. ”

As the middle-aged mage's words ended, the house fell silent again.

After a while, Leo sighed and said, "Parkinson, let go of Mr. Forado, I need to talk to him well." ”

"But ......," Perkins was still a little worried.

Leo firmed: "He has a point, if we want to live, we must unite and fight separately, which will only weaken the strength." ”

In the face of survival, the little contradiction before is nothing at all.

............

After a few minutes, the situation was clear on both sides.

There were six people on Feliente Forado's side besides him, four level 3 mages and two level 2 mages, 10 minutes away from Leo's current position. According to the agreement, he will return immediately, bring his own people to this building as quickly as possible, and make sure that they do not make bad moves, and then deal with the demons that may appear next with Leo and the others.

After the discussion was settled, FΓ©liente Forado was also worried about his students, so he took his leave: "Then I will go back now, and I will be back in twenty minutes at the latest." Hopefully, the demon portal hasn't been fully opened by then. ”

Leo nodded and responded, "Okay, please be careful." ”

"I will. Feliente Forado gave Leo a deep look, and he had no idea that a negotiation with such a young man, which was almost impossible to succeed, would go so smoothly. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "By the way, I don't know what to call you yet." ”

At this moment, Leo also hesitated, but in order to cooperate with the other party, he replied truthfully: "My name is Leo Minehir. ”

In this regard, Perkins was not surprised or disgusted, after all, the two did not know each other before, and it was normal to use a pseudonym.

Unexpectedly, Feliente Forado had a ghost-like expression: "What are you talking about...... Your name is ...... Your name is ...... Leo Mineshir?" (To be continued......
