Adam's mind was full of thoughts, but at the same time more questions arose.

The reason why Alva still maintains his middle-aged appearance is because he has taken an elixir, but what about Anthony?

If Anthony also took it, why was Alva still active, and Anthony could only hide in the Reflection Tower, not even letting others know that he was still alive.

And why is Anthony the image of youth and Alva the image of middle age?

Is it for this reason that Matt is hostile to him, the one who might provide the elixir?

Too many questions filled Adam's mind, and Doug was watching Adam's performance.

He had already received the news that he had gone to the servants of the clock tower to search for a missing person, so he chose to have a showdown with Adam.

Now it seems that Adam doesn't know much about the elixir.

Sensing Doug's gaze, Adam hurriedly restrained his emotions, and at the same time felt that this gaze was disgusting, as if Doug's greed for the elixir had triggered the malice brought by the elixir.

"Why am I so sensitive to this malice? Adam frowned, and when he felt it carefully, he found that it seemed to have something to do with the bloodline.

"If the elixir can bring malice to the bloodline?, then why didn't Alva, who refined the elixir and took it, feel so disgusted by me. ”

Adam thinks back to his contact with Alva, who only hates him because of his personality, and he has never felt similar malice towards Alva.

"Is Alva already removing the side effects of the elixir?" or is Alva himself unrelated to the elixir?" Adam guessed.

"Master Adam. Doug softened his emotions, looked directly into Adam's eyes and said, "I need elixir, and the Roma family needs elixir, so I need the help of the master." ”

"It takes a lot of resources to become an excellent sorcerer, and the Roma family can be your most solid backing, as long as you get the elixir, I will use the power of the entire family to support you in your sorcerer practice. ”

The chips thrown by Doug are enough to make many sorcerers lose their minds, and the sorcerer's cultivation is fine in the early stage, but once it reaches the middle and late stages, the resources required will skyrocket.

Alchemy spell books, collecting spell casting materials, refining spiritual power to rely on, and even various spell experiments, as well as the subsequent construction of rituals, all require a lot of resources.

Adam was lucky, Anthony directly gave him his spare spell book, otherwise a spell book, with the income of civilians, it would take several years to buy without eating or drinking, and it may not be available.

It can be said that the profession of magician, if you are poor, don't play, you can't afford to play.

Most of the magicians are superficial, and the poor are reluctant to wear pants.

With a few exceptions, such as Anthony.

"I'm just an apprentice, Mr. Doug. Adam began to remind him that he had figured out what to do after figuring out the conflict with the Roma family.

He decided to play a big game to make his escape plan work, and he had been with Roa long enough.

"And as far as I know, Mr. Alva doesn't welcome Mr. Doug either. Adam stretched out his hand, teased the bird lying on his head, and said earnestly.

"Although I have not been with Alva for a long time, I know one thing, and that is that he has his own set of views on good and evil, and if the elixir is just something that violates the teachings of the church, then he will not refuse to offer it to others. ”

"This shows one thing, and that is that elixirs have other side effects that are not well known. Adam stopped reining in himself at this moment, and he spoke his judgment in no uncertain terms.

Doug looked at Adam, and at this moment Adam seemed to be blooming with dazzling brilliance, Doug, who originally only thought that he was an excellent teenager, no longer regarded Adam as a teenager who was not yet fourteen years old at this moment.

"Alva is alive and well now, and he can prove that the side effects are not a problem, or that they are not his own problem. Doug became serious, and there was no expression on his face. "So what do you need?"

"The full support of the Roma family. Adam said the conditions that Doug had given before, but unlike Doug, he did not have the conditions.

What Doug said before is that after obtaining the elixir, everything is just a big pie, and before he gets anything, he will give up everything to help the other party get the elixir, that is, the consciousness of the tool man, whether he can get the final benefit, it all depends on Doug's thoughts.

And now, it was Adam's turn to draw the pie, and that pie was the elixir.

"It's not just resources, it's people and power. Adam glanced at Walker behind Doug, stood up, and took two steps back, his hand never leaving the spell book in his arms.

"You're more shrewd and greedy than I thought. Doug looked at Adam deeply, but he didn't refuse Adam's proposal, but just said: "I can agree to your conditions, but every once in a while, I need phased results, and the elixir that will not affect the bloodline, I am bound to get it." ”

"Of course, I think Mr. Doug must have sent someone to the clock tower to look for it, right?" said Adam with a smile, which was not difficult to guess after obtaining Doug's goal of the elixir.

"There's a big library there, and that's where I studied. Adam told the truth: "There are secrets hidden in it, and it is impossible to enter except those who have qualifications." ”

"I'm just getting started, there's not much area to explore, and I need your help, Mr. Doug. Adam said.

"What helps?"

"The night is not open to me, and wasting a night of time that cannot be used for studying, is not conducive to my spiritual progress, although I am still young, so there is no need to be in such a hurry. After Adam finished speaking, he noticed that Walker, who was behind Doug, was looking at him more and more unkindly.

However, Adam knew from the beginning that he should not talk about feelings with nobles, the kindness they release to you, and the importance they attach to you, are all out of profit.

The interests are still there, the feelings are still there, the interests are not there, even if the previous relationship is maintained well, it is just some useless things.

"No problem, I'll arrange it. Doug looked at Adam with more and more appreciation, and even sighed: "If you were from the Roma family, how good it would be." ”

"If you have Mr. Doug in the Roma family, you'll be fine. Adam returned to his seat, and the atmosphere in the study eased instantly.

The two complimented each other a few words, and Adam said goodbye, but before going out, Adam seemed to remember something, turned around with admiration on his face and said, "Mr. Doug, the coachman you arranged for me is a good coachman." ”

"Really?" said Doug, who was slightly stunned, still slightly impressed by the coachman.

It's just a pity that he seems to have done some work that is beyond the scope of the coachman. Adam continued: "Mr. Doug, though he thinks that Mr. Matt is not a good person, also seems to lack attention to him. ”

"I'll go to practice first, and I'll see you tomorrow, Mr. Doug. Adam said no more, bowed slightly, and turned away.

Doug stayed in the study, his face sank, and he looked up at Walker, who nodded, and turned away for a moment.

When he appeared in front of Doug again, he already knew who Matt had been in contact with these days.

Doug looked at the piece of paper and suddenly began to cough again, and his hand holding the paper trembled.

"Do you think I'm dead?" said Doug as he went to the window and looked out at the lights in Roma's Manor.

Suddenly feeling an inexplicable fear, he tightened the cane in his hand, pulled it tightly in his hand, and a round coat of arms appeared on the back of his hand.

It's just that even the coat of arms on the old skin looks a little gloomy.

"You're right, the Roma family, it's enough to have me. Doug muttered to himself, then turned to Walker and said, "Let the people over there in the casino urge Matt, and then secretly control all the people who come into contact with him, and hand over the control of these people to Adam." ”

"Understood. Walker nodded, with Matt's current situation, the casino was pushing him to a dead end, but it was none of his business, he was only loyal to Doug, not the Roma family.

On the contrary, Walker became very wary of Adam, this young man is not simple.
