Thales stared blankly at the "invitation" in his hand, his thoughts in confusion.

No way.

Is this true or false?

He blinked his eyes in disbelief to confirm that everything in front of him was not an illusion.

Is someone playing a prank?

After a few seconds, he put down the invitation and took a deep breath.

Trying to make sense of the current situation.

First of all, wasn't that guy given... by Yodel?

Then, Ada was next door.

Wyatt and Rolf took turns guarding the door.

There are also other soldiers and guards in the mission, as well as countless guards in the entire Palace of Heroes, and even those cool-looking so-called white-blade guards. Why do you let that guy...

That rascal……

Suddenly, a wave of heart palpitations surged into Thales' chest.

His breath stopped.

Thales felt something.

He turned his head numbly.

Focus on the window.

At that moment, the prince's heart skipped a beat.

His "long-lost friend" - Asheida Saxon, was standing by the window with her hands behind her back, looking at him silently with her seemingly indifferent eyes.

Just like when they first met, the magician was wearing a thin but neat blue robe, his figure was tall and straight, and he had a mysterious but confident smile on his handsome face.

As elegant as ever, as self-possessed as before.

At that moment, Thales's mind went blank.

As promised...how about fifteen minutes?

"Hello," the Qi Magician nodded slightly to him and said in a gentle tone, "My smart, mature and naughty child."

Thales opened his mouth and took a deep breath.

"From now on, no sound between us can be heard beyond a foot." As if she knew what he was thinking, Aixida slowly raised her right index finger and shook it at him with a smile: "Others

They won't bother us."

When Thales heard this, he was like a deflated balloon, spitting out the breath he had sucked in again.

He gave up the idea of ​​calling for help.

Asheida's smile was obviously so warm, but when she saw it in Thales's eyes, it made him feel chilled.

etc.

He and the magician were not the only ones in the room.

Thales's heart moved.

"Of course, your cute little maid," following Thales' line of sight, the magician gently glanced at the little slipper who was sleeping beside the bed, "you won't be woken up either."

Little Huatou's mouth was still opening and closing slightly in her sleep, but Thales could no longer hear any murmurs or even breathing from her.

Thales sighed softly, turned his head, raised the corners of his mouth, and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying: "You are still the same, you are so considerate."

Aixida nodded politely.

Thales forced himself to think about all the information about this magician.

However, the first memory that popped up was of the three people squeezed into balls in the chess and card room in the center of Hongfang Street.

The second prince swallowed, laughed dryly, and tried to imagine some acceptable scenes.

For example - compare him with lovely Giza?

"By the way," Thales shrugged pretending to be relaxed, raised the invitation in his hand, and tried his best to use the most normal tone and said nonchalantly: "I thought you would come in fifteen minutes."

"You know," Aixida showed her white teeth: "I like to enter early."

Thales tried hard to stop his thoughts and swallowed back the complaints that came to his lips.

"Really... I thought you wouldn't show up so soon," Thales changed his sitting position and smiled awkwardly: "They... everyone said you would disappear for a long time."

Asheida looked straight at him, her eyes as calm as water, which made Thales feel a little scared.

"The weapon in the hand of your masked friend is obviously not complete," the Qi Magician said slowly: "Otherwise, a legendary anti-magic weapon in perfect condition and fully activated can seal a magician's weapon.

The deadline should be..."

Asheida's eyes remained calm, but the words she spat out made Thales slightly startled:

"permanent."

Legendary anti-demon force.

seal.

Magician.

permanent.

"Even so, that incomplete weapon can still seal me - at least for more than ten years." Aixida raised the corners of her mouth and continued to smile: "But I got some little help to be able to come out so quickly.

prison'."

I don’t know whether it was the curiosity inherited from the memory fragments of his previous life, his innate personality, or his anxiety about his own mystery. At that moment, Thales’s strong thirst for knowledge about the magician overwhelmed him.

Fear of the identity of the Calamity - his desire to know more.

"First of all, I want to congratulate you," Aixida put her hands behind her back and walked towards Thales with a smile that was obviously friendly but inexplicably scary: "Tails... Your Highness? Although judging from your performance,

I know you are definitely not ordinary, but I must admit that this identity surprises me."

Thales looked at Asheida approaching him, his heartbeat slowly accelerated, and he reluctantly shrugged: "I remember that there are chairs for guests over there, we can sit down..."

"Don't bother." Aixida shook her head and said nonchalantly.

The next moment, Thales watched with numbness as Asheida walked up to him, then bent her knees and "sat" down in the invisible void.

Aixida grinned brightly on the transparent "chair" and said, "I brought my own chair."

The time traveler looked at this weird scene and tried desperately to control his face to prevent it from twitching too much.

"Let's talk about your future," Asheida looked at Thales' performance with interest, "Your Highness?"

Thales knew in his heart that although he called himself Your Highness, the man in front of him actually didn't care about this special status at all - this made Thales, who had been exposed to all kinds of eyes after becoming a prince, suddenly feel a strange feeling.

Thales took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down so that he could understand the situation clearly and protect himself - even if the existence in front of him was a disaster that could not be treated with common sense.

"Of course," he recalled his conversation with Ramon and mused: "During this period, I tried every means to investigate some things about...well, magicians and magic."

First of all, in this asymmetrical conversation, he must seize the initiative of the topic.

"Very good, this will save us a lot of time." Sure enough, Aixida's eyes lit up: "What do you know?"

"Not much, but not much," Thales chose his words carefully: "For example, what is magic, and the three magic towers - I met a person who has done a lot of research on magic."

Asheida looked interested.

After Thales was worried and briefly repeated what Ramon said to him, even Asheida couldn't help but sigh slightly: "After the magic tower collapsed for a thousand years, and magic was banned for six centuries, there are still believers in magic. This

It really exceeded my expectations.”

Thales observed Asheida's expression while desperately thinking of ways to escape from him.

The other party is a magician - there is no need to think about non-peaceful means.

Delaying time - this can be considered, but can he really delay the rescue, or can the rescue really work?

The other party's purpose should be to hope that he can become one of them. Damn it, everyone is shouting to beat up the magician.

Then his best choice is to deal with the opponent on this issue and achieve some results with concessions and a low profile...

"So, is magic the kind of existence he said? A kind of meaning, a kind of belief?" Thinking of this, Thales said cautiously, and at the same time he really became curious about this question: "What do you think?"

But the qi magician didn't answer right away.

Asheida's lowered gaze remained motionless.

Under Thales' curious eyes, he crossed his hands and remained silent for a long time.

"No."

"Magic...isn't like that, it's not just that, it doesn't have to be like that," Asheida finally shook her head slowly and slowed down her speech, "Everyone has their own understanding of magic, and they believe in the magic they understand."

Thales was startled when he heard this.

Aixida raised her left hand and looked at the palm of her hand with complicated eyes.
