"Is he the one Lusendier Frass supports?"

When Penny told Hughes the news, he looked stunned and incredulous.

"He's ostracized in the Rem family, and it's normal for him to look for other funding. Penny looked up and exhaled, "I just didn't expect to find Frass's head." ”

"Uh...... But, as far as I know, the level of support for Frass ......"

Hughes's words were not thorough, but Penny knew very well that Frass was not very powerful among the six clans, nor was he very rich, and the strength of support for the candidates was indeed worth worrying.

"It doesn't matter, I've been in contact with people in Frass and they're all very confident. ”

"They're all confident? Hughes didn't know about the Inquisition, so he was skeptical of Penny's claims.

However, he also knew that his colleague was not an open-mouthed person, so he was skeptical.

"I don't believe in this either, but I feel like I can give it a try. Penny rubbed his chin, he naturally couldn't tell Hughes that the Inquisition would intervene in this matter, and the enchanter's superiority was already a matter of ten times, so he could only find some other reason.

"Okay, but we can't help much. Hughes nodded, and suddenly sighed: "Whether he can run or not, we may only be able to slap him at best." ”

"Perhaps. Penny nodded noncommittally, he didn't feel the need to talk to Hughes.

In fact, what Hughes said was not too much...... In any case, it is necessary to have a good relationship with that enchanter, or at least not to be an enemy.

This worries Penny, as he remembers the enchanter's ways, and although Lusendir has been kind to him, he thinks it's a fraudulent disguise...... The stronger the object of the psychic omen's detection, the more vague the signs become, which does not grow with Penny's power, but seems to be constant by some element, so Penny can't tell whether the enchanter has good intentions or bad intentions.

However, he is in one camp for the time being, so supporting him is the only option.

Thinking of this, the mage sighed secretly, and it was a huge problem to communicate with this person in the future, and he knew very well that dealing with this guy would never be an easy and simple matter.

Penny...... In that case, I think I'm ......" Hughes spoke again, his face a little hesitant.

"Do you have anything to worry about?"

"You know, my identity represents the Focal family after all......" Hughes raised his eyebrows, as if a little helpless: "Although the candidates proposed by our family are not too competitive, it seems ...... if I turn to support others"

"I see. Penny nodded, "I don't force you. ”

"It's great that you understand me. Hughes's expression was relieved: "But I'll find a way to talk to Focal's people and see if I can get some funding." ”

"Really?" Penny raised an eyebrow, "You don't have to force ......"

"Well, Penny, I'm ...... for myself" Hughes stood at the window, his eyes narrowed, and when he opened them again, there was already a look of remembrance in it: "I can't bear to let those children in the academy be, dear Sean, you don't know, how fulfilled I am to watch them learn all kinds of knowledge under my teaching...... It's as if I've found the meaning of life. ”

Penny was silent for a while, until Hughes said hello and left, then shook his head and walked into the bedroom, and got into the thin quilt folded into the soft gauze, next to him, a small head poked out of the quilt, and a blonde hair looked soft in the dim candlelight, and a faint fragrance entered Penny's nose.

So he reached out and stroked his long hair, and a pair of slender arms wrapped around his waist.

The girl's eyes are shining, like the brilliance flowing on the stream"...... Penny, Serge is too dangerous. ”

"It's dangerous. Penny turned around and hugged the girl and sighed, "But the outside may not be much better than Serre." ”

He didn't think about leaving the country of Seren, but he knew very well that although he didn't like the terrifying atmosphere of Ser, the education and edification he had passed had left a deep imprint on his thinking and style of acting, which was incompatible with most of the region of Ferron, and even no longer the same as his previous life.

This made him feel alienated from the outside world. And the people in the rest of Faeron will not have a good opinion of a Serge mage.

As for the shady politics, the tyrannical strong, the naked predators, the more unacceptable nature and the oppression of theocracy, these exist everywhere in Faerun, and they are all things he hates, and he pays a huge price to defect to Searle to accept such a life, he doesn't know if it's worth it.

But he understands very well that no matter where he is, if he wants to get the life he wants, he needs to work hard.

The environment is always just an external factor.

"But you can't always put yourself in such a dangerous place. The girl's head rested on the mage's neck, and she snuggled tightly, and although the mage could not see the uneasiness in those eyes, she could hear clearly: "It is said that I can serve in the concession of another country......

"That's the enemy from abroad. Penny sighed and lowered his head to push Hiccol's face in front of him, "You look uneasy?"

"Hmm. The girl nodded.

"But I think you're right, we do need a way out......"

"Penny, are you telling the truth?" a surprised expression appeared on the girl's face, dissolving the original sorrow.

"However, I haven't thought about the specific plan yet, but I must ensure your safety...... Safety ......" The mage's eyes were in a trance, as if he was in deep thought, because he had no score in his heart.

He just knew that it was a dangerous thing to put his family in Serre.

He thought for a while, shook his head, and lowered his head to kiss the girl's face: "You and the teacher are the most important people in my life......"

The girl's expression warmed.

As night fell, the mage's eyes shone brightly, and the events of the past few days had made him restless, the omen was vague and distorted, and his mind was restless, which made him unable to calm down no matter what.

It wasn't until late at night that the eyes closed.

...... The next day, Penny was guided by the beautiful woman to the enchanter's mansion, and the enchanter still had the same smiling face, and he arranged for Penny to ride in a carriage with him.

The carriage was richly decorated with precious gems and ornaments, and the pale black background concealed the nouveau riche dazzling tones, like a five-colored spark twinkling in the night, mysterious and gorgeous.

The carriage was also reinforced with a magical enchantment attached to it, and Penny couldn't clearly detect its exact strength, but he knew that as long as the enchanter tried to kill him, he would have no room to resist.

However, Penny was not worried, and the enchanter probably had no intention of killing him for the time being.

A small mage may not have much status, but he at least wears the Frass brand, and candidates generally don't offend their supporters.

But the enchanter's frequent gaze made Penny a little embarrassed, and he had to look at his nose and nose in a semi-meditative way, ignoring the maggot-like peeping of the tarsal bones.

This drew his attention to a kitten lying at the enchanter's feet, a lazy cat that occasionally opened its squinting eyes, and its pupils glowed with jewels. Although he hadn't studied pets, he knew that he was a rare breed by looking at his unique ear shape and glittering purple fur.

Sensing Penny's gaze, the cat opened its eyes and meowed at Penny, and with a sharp scurry, it burrowed into the shadows behind Lusendil.

"Hehehe. Lusendil smiled heartily, and pulled the cat by the neck in front of his eyes, and the cat scratched back and forth in the air with its four paws, making a faint meow sound, which looked very uncomfortable: "Well, you see, it's cute, isn't it? It's a purebred Dulin from Sambia, but if this cat grows too big, it won't be fun, so I used a spell to freeze it at this age...... It has reduced its lifespan, but it has increased the time it takes to please me. ”

Penny's face was flat, not daring to say anything about the enchanter's remarks.

The cat could not understand its master's words, but because it was uncomfortable, it turned its body violently, and its paws left a mark on the mage's white wrist, and Luxendier frowned, and with a flick of his hand, the cat was thrown out of the car window with a shrill cry.

Penny's heart skipped a beat, and he felt the strange character of the enchanter.

This little accident made the enchanter feel bad, but when his eyes fell on Penny, a smile appeared on his face again: "Whether it's a woman or a pet, it's just a plaything, I can spoil them, but they'd better not interfere with my business or make me feel uncomfortable, after all, only smart and useful beings deserve respect." ”

In the face of such a speechless guy with a surname, Penny could only choose to pat himself on the back and second: "My lord, your insights are very profound. ”

"Is it profound? It's not esoteric at all. Being a human may not need much intelligence, it doesn't matter whether you have strength or not, the important thing is that you must not lack wisdom, only people who have both intelligence and wisdom, we call them geniuses. Lusendier laughed: "Young man, you have a bright future. ”

"You're overrated. Penny chuckled.

He didn't think he had much wisdom, and the words that came out of the enchanter's mouth tasted strange.

"Hmmmm......" The enchanter shook his head, "Don't be presumptuous, you can achieve good results in politics and arcane arts at this age, and in a few days, your name will enter the ears of many people." ”

Penny's heart sank, he didn't like the effect.

"Of course, those ** teachers don't pay too much attention to a junior. Perhaps also found this topic uninteresting, Lusendier smiled, opened the drawer next to him, and a faint aroma came out of it: "Do you want to have a drink?"

Although it was a deliberative tone, a glass of mellow fruit wine was already placed in front of Penny's eyes.

The mage had no choice but to laugh.

"My lord, where are we going?" After a few words, Penny let go a little, no matter how abnormal the enchanter's surname seemed to be, but at least he didn't show any malice, and nothing would happen if he said a few words.

Just be careful not to anger him.

"Oh, of course, Darren Moore. ”

This answer stunned Penny: "Shall we go now?"

"Yes, my assistants have moved their equipment there, and of course my research results. ”

"Studies?" Penny frowned.

"Of course, it's Lord Feinstein's subject. He...... He's a big fan of academics. Lusendier spread his hands: "Although this is a gladiatorial battle of many forces, if the mage who participated in the election does not come up with something that satisfies him, I am afraid he will not let go easily." ”

Penny nodded, he wasn't worried about this, and the ** master didn't dare to open the trial court easily, otherwise the trial court would trouble him when Feinstein was studying legendary spells, and the consequences could be imagined.

"How can I help?"

"Oh, nothing special to pay attention to, just help me when necessary. ”

This sentence made Penny a little speechless, it seemed that in the eyes of this mage, he was an ornament after all, either to gather himself as a minion, or to show his relationship with Frass.

But he didn't have a choice.

The sound of horses' hooves gradually subsided, and the speed of the car slowed down, as if it was almost in place.

"First of all, of course, we have to attend an opening party. The enchanter sighed and opened the curtains, but still with the same playful smile: "Boring socializing." ”
