Chapter 189 Do You Know Magic? Reasonableness and Temptation

In the early morning, everything is quiet. The morning light falls quietly on the Atesaki Mountains, baking out the fragrance of the earth.

The black-haired girl opened her eyes slightly, and a faint light entered her eyes. She smelled the smell of blood keenly, and her mind suddenly became clear. She controlled her breathing to remain steady, and she slowly opened her eyes a crack.

What caught the eye was Scarface and the white mouse lying in a pool of blood not far away. Their faces were filled with shock, and their skin was covered with countless scratches and bite marks.

Vifiya, who was familiar with the state of death, could tell at a glance that they were dead.

The pupils continued to move downwards through the slits of the eyes, and a man in a robe stood quietly by the side.

Vifia's heart skipped a beat. There were other people present. Where was Isidore?

As soon as anxiety emerged, it was suppressed by reason.

No, he's fine.

She secretly shifted her gaze to the bodies of Scarface and the white mouse again. The only fresh bloodstains visible on their bodies were dark red, indicating that they had been dead for some time.

There were no signs of fighting around, so the possibility that they were being chased by the giant snake was extremely low.

Their blood was enough to prove they had been injured before they came to the clearing where she and Isidore rested.

Generally, dying people will have a strong desire to survive before they die, not to mention that Scarface and White Mouse did not kill her and Isidore in the first place just to survive.

They were killed instantly.

The probability that it was Isidore who did it is low, so the only one left is the man in the robe.

Judging from the facial scars and the expressions of the white mouse, one can infer that the real means that led to their deaths were unusual.

magic?

If it were a magician...

Salis? No, she couldn't bet on that.

It's unclear whether the robed man is good or evil. The only thing that is certain is that Isidore is fine, probably in a field of vision that she can't see.

After all, if he had met with an accident, how could the man in the robe let her go while she was sleeping?

Vifiya didn't know how the magicians recognized Isidore as "God's Favorite". What if it was against him?

Vifiya was certain that there was still a chance, and the moment she stood up, she found Isidore's position.

If the robed figure launches an attack, as long as the strength of the force can be judged at the moment of attack, it is possible to summon the power of Valega.

Having made up her mind, Vifiya controlled her breathing so that it was no different from when she was sleeping, and secretly exerted strength in her legs.

The morning light fell on her face, bringing a warmth.

She suddenly opened her eyes and stood up as quickly as possible. She saw a familiar figure in her peripheral vision. When the boy looked at her, she quickly grabbed the dagger in his hand and protected him behind her.

So that's why. He was right above her head. No wonder she didn't see him.

It seems that he really listened to her and stayed by her side.

Vifiya's face was alert, and the man in the robe was facing them, motionless.

The robed man had no instant attack, which was a good opportunity for Vifiya to make a mistake.

She was ready to draw her sword at any time.

If the opponent is really a magician with malicious intent, she would use Valega's power in advance to prepare the opponent.

Vifiya was keenly aware of the other party's vague gaze on her, and she couldn't tell whether there was any malicious intent.

Isidore has not yet learned magic systematically. All he can use is based on his most primitive instincts. She had confirmed this with Debbie a long time ago.

The robed man raised his hand. Vifia concealed her nervousness, clenched her dagger, and prepared to summon the sword at any time.

She was just a child now, and even though using the magic power given to her by Valega came at a price, it was the only thing she could do to compete with the magician.

She didn't want to kill people at will, but if it was absolutely necessary, there was nothing she could do.

She has to be responsible for herself and for the present Isidore.

The robed man reached up and took off his hood.

As soon as the other person's face appeared in front of her, Vifiya's heart skipped a beat, and in just a moment, she made new plans.

The woman had a pair of light red eyes and long silver-gray hair hanging down her shoulders. Her face looked younger and more childish than when Vifia first saw her.

She arched her eyebrows and said, "Hello, I am the great magician, Salis Lepperzer."

Without waiting for their answer, she skillfully held up a finger and began to coax the children: "Do you know anything about magic?"

Tiny specks of light appeared on her fingertips. "It's this shiny thing."

"Know."

Salis paused in her explanation and her eyes fell on the girl who had spoken.

The boy behind her stared at her with a pair of silver eyes. He had been guarding her in a protective manner since the girl woke up.

Salis did not pass by by chance. She had been doing experiments for more than a month and had reached a bottleneck. She remembered that Grandma Xiwang of the Ganache family said that the nearby Jinshan wine was delicious, so she came to try it.

Who knew that an extremely powerful magical power was raging without any cover? She was sure that the magical power was even more powerful than her.

No matter if it was some magical genius she didn't know about, or if there were magicians fighting here, she had an obligation to come and take a look.

She followed the magic all the way here, but the result was beyond her expectations.

The master of magic is the "Goddess's favorite".

It’s not that she hasn’t thought about it, but the probability is very low.

She happened to see two men about to attack the two children, so she took advantage of the situation to solve the problem.

She knew that the two men were death row prisoners who had escaped from prison, and wanted posters for them were posted everywhere in the area, regardless of whether they were dead or alive.

She hid the thoughtful look in her eyes.

The "Goddess's Favorite" has flaws, and his flaws are extremely obvious, but the moment the girl wakes up, his flaws seem to be instantly made up.

He became a complete person.

There was no magical fluctuation on the girl. When the girl was sleeping, she tried to further confirm whether she had magical powers. However, the look in the eyes of God's favorite was that of an enemy.

She had no choice but to give up.

Now, the girl is just an ordinary person without any magical powers.

Salis couldn't help but feel worried. An ordinary person could be connected with the rules of the world. There must be something about the girl that she didn't know.

The magician would not expose himself in front of others, but even if the girl was an ordinary person, she had no intention of abandoning her.

Two children appearing in such a dangerous place like the Atesaki Mountains do not look safe at all. How do their parents view their children?

Salis asked the girl with a kind face, "Have you seen this before?"

Vifia was not going to pretend to know nothing about magic, nor was she going to pretend to be a child who really knew nothing.

She pursed her lips, as if considering whether to answer. After a moment, she said, "I don't understand what great magician is. Please tell me, what do you want to do? How are you going to prove that you have no ill will towards us?"

Of course she knew that Salis had no ill intentions, but in Salis's eyes, this was the first time they met, and she had been wary at the beginning. It was obviously irrational for her to believe it so easily now.

Salis glanced at the silent boy behind her, whose attention was all on the girl.

This is not good. The girl has made up for the shortcomings. If you go against the rules of the world to compete for people, you must bear certain prices.

She turned her gaze towards Vifiya and said seriously, "I can't prove I have no ill intentions. It's unusual for a magician to reveal their identity and appear before ordinary people. Most people don't understand magicians these days. To put it another way, your power isn't enough to compete with me."

After a pause, he said, "I can tell you what I want to do. The person behind you is a rare genius in the world. As a semi-leader in the magic world, I have an obligation to bring him back and teach him."

The premise is that he can survive after paying the world's price.

"Did you kill Scarface and the white mouse?" the girl asked again.

"Yes." Salis answered without hesitation.

The girl looked at her intently, trying to determine the truth in her words.

No, Vifia suddenly realized that she had overlooked the most important question: how did Salis find Isidore?

She decided to ask directly: "How do you know, how can you be sure that he is the kind of person you are looking for?"

What a cautious little girl! Sally felt relieved. It is a good thing for children to be cautious.

She replied, "The first question is that the magician can sense the fluctuations of magic power, so he is using magic power."

Vifiya suddenly looked behind her and saw the boy lowering his head guiltily, as if admitting his mistake.

"Are you not hurt?" Vifiya asked quickly. She knew that Isidore listened to her very much. If she could make him go against his promise to her, there must be some danger. Could it be because of the facial scar and the white mouse?

Seeing that she didn't blame him, but instead had a worried look on her face and a gleam in her silver eyes, he shook his head vigorously.

Salis took the boy's reaction in her eyes and continued, "The second question is, the more powerful a magician is, the more accurately they can sense the difference in magic power between them and another magician."

Vifiya understood what she said. She turned her head and whispered to the boy behind her, "What do you think?"

The boy moved closer to her and replied softly, imitating her: "Wherever you go, I will go."

Their voices were still audible in the quiet open space if one listened carefully. Salis smiled and said, "Let's go together."

Although the girl still looked alert, she slowly put away the dagger.

Knowing that they didn't fully trust her, Salis didn't take the initiative to step forward, but she extended her hand.

The two children looked at each other, and Vifiya took the boy's hand.

After all, before safety is guaranteed and before one is completely sure whether the person in front of them is really a good person, people will always subconsciously hold on to or get close to the person around them whom they think they can trust.

She had to let Salis feel her uneasiness.

Vifiya and the boy stood about a meter away from Salis. Salis smiled knowingly and retracted her hand: "Okay, hold each other's hands tightly."

But before setting off, she glanced at the two bodies and, after confirming that the cause of death had been disguised as non-magical, she warned the two children, "If this is your first time experiencing a teleportation array, you might feel dizzy, but it's okay, it's just a little bit."

The magic circle under her feet continued to expand. Salis deliberately added a little more magic on the basis of the original magic power to make the teleportation circle more stable than before, so that the two children could be more comfortable.

In an instant, Vifia, who had closed her eyes because the teleportation array was too bright, smelled a fresh scent that was completely different from the Atesaki Mountains.

The sun shone on the red tiles and white bricks, everything was brighter than ever before, and the white smoke from the chimney rose upwards.

People were coming and going not far away, and everyone was smiling and greeting their neighbors.

The rich aroma of soft bread overwhelmed the fresh scent of soil in the air.

Salis put on a smile and said, "Welcome to Monbechin Village."
