Chapter 44
"So, Andrew, are you really with the third lady from the Warm Chamber of Commerce?"
Cylie seemed to be a girl with a strong figure but couldn't stop curiosity, and looked over with interest, "Where is she now? How did you and her avoid our search and return to this camp? Are you really Andrew? Why are you completely different from the you in my memory? Well, although I basically had no impression of you before."
Once she spoke, she couldn't stop like a machine gun.
Andrew seriously doubted whether her mouth had blessed with any special magic effect!
"Okay, little Celly, don't ask about these."
Finally, Hobert interrupted Cylie's continuous gun-like question and smiled, "I have already felt Miss Barbara's breath, don't worry. But you, Andrew--"
The old magician looked at Andrew again and said with sigh: "You are the first time I missed the wrong student. So have you killed Raymond? I didn't see him at the scene, but he couldn't miss this opportunity to please me."
When Andrew faced Hobert, who was suddenly kind of friendly, he couldn't figure out what the other party meant.
But of course it is impossible to admit that he killed Raymond!
He just shrugged his shoulders and did not comment. He continued to aim at the same time.
Hobert didn't delve into it, and looked around and looked around: "Where is Pete? That child is very tolerant, but I actually see it all. Although he is low-key, he will not miss such a person. So was he killed by you, Andrew, or by Miss Barbara in the tent behind you?"
Andrew felt awe-inspiring in his heart. What a fuck, this old guy is really amazing!
He smiled and replied to what he said once that night of time travel: "Sorry, I didn't answer your obligations by teacher."
While speaking, water inspiration gradually condensed from a spherical shape with itself as the center of the circle into a column that is only used to detect and lock Hobert's body position.
Now, Andrew finally felt a little sure of aiming and hitting.
I began to feel: "It's not that I can't aim or hit, but that I must get closer. The opponent should have some magic or magic props to save his life. If you want to kill him, you must get close enough! It's best to use the killing move of the ultra-distance spurt at zero distance!"
It is naturally impossible for outsiders to know Andrew's secret aiming and preparation.
In fact, although there is no conflict between the two sides for the time being, everyone present can feel the undercurrent that seems to be calm.
When I heard Andrew's sentence "I have no obligation to answer", almost everyone seemed to have returned to the previous night.
That night, Andrew also contradicted Hobert.
Unlike that day, Hobert's reaction—
"That's how it is."
Hobert smiled, not seemingly angry at all, but instead looked at Andrew seriously, with appreciation in his eyes, and even a hint of kindness, "Little Andrew, I'll give you a chance to return to my laboratory, how about it? Whether it's Raymond or Pete, I know they must have died at your hands. Now you have more "killing aura" that you didn't have before, and you probably don't know. But I can still let Raymond and Pete die. As long as you return to my laboratory, I'm willing to accept you as my student again, or even... pass on your mantle. What do you think?"
He spoke very slowly, and stopped from time to time, as if he had to take a breath before he could continue to finish his words.
And when he really finished speaking, everyone at the scene was shocked.
Needless to say, those magic apprentices holding torches.
Even Cook and Cylie beside the old magician couldn't help but look over in surprise: "Teacher, you..."
Of course, Andrew was the most surprised.
Staring at the old magician, who seemed to be full of sincere faces, Andrew became increasingly unable to see whether the other party was true or false.
After a while of silence, he asked in a low voice: "So Barbara her..."
Hobert shook his head helplessly and said, "I know what you are going to ask, but she is the person whom the union calls for, and I am just doing it on orders. Don't talk about you, the president of the Warm Fire Chamber of Commerce will not be able to protect his daughter. However, I can guarantee you: she will not die, and the union just wants to invite her to live in the scholars fortress, and there is no other meaning."
Andrew nodded, "That's it." He seemed to be a little moved, and asked again, "The residents of that camp—"
Hobert showed a hint of doubt: "What?"
Andrew asked: "What if I were willing to return to your lab and be your student. What would they do?" pointed to the camp residents behind me.
Faced with Andrew's question, Hobert became even more confused: "Does this... have something to do with you? Do you need to care?"
The old magician shook his head and said slowly: "It's fine for you. If I see it wrong, you have the 'hidden fire enchantment', right? So your magic is invisible. But after all, you have mastered the power of flame magic and are a member of us. This is true.
As for them, they did not receive the blessing and recognition of the flame! They harbored the crime, sheltered the crime, arrest the crime... and punished multiple crimes, and punishment cannot be escaped! Just kill it, but expelled from the town and exiled to the desert. As for whether they can escape the hunting of wild beasts, it depends on their own fortune.
Also, the owner of the tent must die.” He said that, and glanced at the tent where Barbara was, which was Aunt Sophia and Little Sophie.
Unlike Lisa before, Hobert's tone now comes with a natural understatement.
Even with a hint of inducement: "Andrew, your child is still the same as before, and the 'unpoly thinking' is a bit too strong. Forget it this time, don't say such naive and innocent words in the future! Pity for the unpoly is a humiliation to the noble fire magicians like us! Remember this-"
He didn't finish speaking.
Many magic apprentices angrily sniffed: "What are you doing?" "Andrew what do you mean?!" "Do you not eat toast and drink? What are your gestures!?"
I saw Andrew silently raise a finger.
But it is not any magic in the Fingertip series.
But a... middle finger.
"You need to continue. Whether you are true or false, I have heard enough of this kind of nonsense."
Andrew's face was no longer smiling at this time, and he looked at Hobert, "I thought the world was sick, but I didn't expect it to be even more ill than I thought. I only said this once, please listen to the teacher and seniors-"
After a pause, Andrew said word by word: "—You don't even think of touching any of these people behind me!!"
OK.
A figure came to Andrew's side.
