Chapter 19 The temptation of the mastermind behind the scenes?
"You" Camus looked gloomy. He didn't expect Li Si to say it so pointedly, leaving no room for himself.
Camus had no choice but to take stock of the current situation. Under the suppression of Welf, the golden warrior, he had no chance of recovery.
At the moment, I had to pretend to be concerned about Joel's injury, and carried Joel with others towards the college infirmary.
Before he left, he glanced at the azure gemstone that Li Si was playing with with great sadness. Seeing Li Si tossing the gem up and down like a show off, he gritted his teeth and turned around and left the scene without saying a harsh word.
Li Si did not stop them, but watched them leave quietly, seeming to be thinking about something.
The onlookers saw that the good show ended in such an anticlimactic manner, which made the melon eaters a little disappointed, and they gradually dispersed.
Seeing that Camus and the others had disappeared from sight, Li Si took Welf and continued walking towards the fifth magic workshop. It was already a little late.
“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!”
Camus found an excuse to leave everyone and returned to his dormitory in the college. As an outstanding student, he was assigned a single dormitory by the school, so he was not afraid of others suddenly breaking in.
Camus, who had been smiling at others outside, finally couldn't hold back the expression on his face. He violently swept all the things off the table. The bell jingled and his face became frighteningly gloomy.
After venting his anger, Camus finally calmed down and thought about the consequences of the failure of this trial.
The secret guidance of Joel and the others this time should not be discovered yet, but what if the mission fails? There will be no such good opportunity next time.
As for the assistant's qualifications, Camus doesn't care at all!
I secretly found out that Li Si was invited to go to the Fifth Magic Workshop today, and I specially brought Joel and the others to meet Li Si by chance.
Originally, according to the plan, Joel, as a high-level bronze mage, was enough to test out Li Si's trump card. It didn't matter if he lost for this.
It's just a normal spell duel, it doesn't matter even if the academy knows about it.
But who knew that Li Si didn't play by common sense at all?
That shouldn't be the case. In my impression, Li Si was a taciturn guy who only cared about magic research. He never looked like a noble viscount.
I haven't seen you for a while, why do you seem to be a different person suddenly?
Now we're in trouble!
Your Excellency asked me to test Li Si's current strength and defensive cards, but he didn't even take action in a spell duel, what else can I do?
Camus thought about it, although he didn't know why the Lord asked him to do this. Isn't Li Si just a junior mage? The only thing that people may care about is his noble status as a palace viscount.
Camus is confident that under the same conditions as Li Si, he can be countless times stronger than Li Si.
With your noble status, you should not care about ordinary nobles like Li Si at all.
And also want to test Li Si's protective trump card?
Could it be
Camus suddenly shuddered and stopped his dangerous thoughts.
What adults arrange for themselves to do, the upper-level game is not something that a little shrimp like me can participate in.
When Camus thought of this, he thought of the azure gem given to him, and felt a throbbing pain in his heart.
Originally, this precious magic gem was used for this mission. If the mission can be successfully completed, this gem will be mine.
Unexpectedly, in the end, not only was the task not completed, but even the gems were snatched away by that nasty guy Li Si!
If it really doesn't work, then you have no choice but to do that!
Camus thought bitterly, with a hint of madness on his gloomy face.
Welf held his sword and followed Li Si on the quiet college avenue.
You have clearly taught those people a lesson and received a high-level magic gem. Shouldn't Master Li Si be happy? Why does he look so solemn?
Welf was a little puzzled, but he didn't know what Li Si was thinking.
Li Si, however, didn't pay attention to Welf beside him. He had the newly obtained lapis lazuli in his hand and was still thinking about what happened just now.
That Camus has a problem!
I received my own invitation to return to the Fist Royal Academy of Magic, and these people "happened to happen" to meet, and "temporarily" to duel with themselves, and can also come up with a valuable high -level magic gem! You must know that the emerald gem inlaid on the staff you use is only as valuable as the azure gem, which is already worth more than 10,000 gold coins.
These civilian mage students have neither background nor accumulation. Even if Li Si were killed, he would not believe that they could come up with this kind of treasure on their own.
Could it be that the God of Dawn sent him to give him a treasure?
Really? I do not believe!
Li Si doesn't think that he is the kind of Long Aotian who can be hit on the head by treasures while sleeping at home.
So there must be something wrong with those people! And the leader, Camus, was the most suspicious.
Then why did they challenge me to a duel?
Definitely not the so-called assistant qualification.
The opportunity to study in the fifth magic workshop of the academy is rare, but for this, it would be too ridiculous for a commoner to dare to openly challenge a viscount of the kingdom.
Especially that Camus!
When he finally faced his own refutation, he was able to bear it and turned around and left. Does this prove that he is not the kind of person who would go to the trouble of provoking nobles just for a qualification?
So since the duel is not for qualifications and I have no other contact with them, then
Their purpose is to duel with themselves!
In order to fight with yourself?
Come to test yourself and find out your own reality?
Li Si sorted out what had just happened bit by bit, and felt more and more that this episode was not that simple, especially when he already knew that he would face an assassination attempt in three months.
Perhaps this time is a test for yourself by the mastermind behind the scenes?
Li Si suddenly smiled confidently, if that's the case, that's the best!
You are not afraid to test yourself, but you are afraid that your opponent will always hide in the dark and not reveal any flaws.
As long as their final goal is to assassinate themselves on the Holy Festival, they will never arrange for high-level professionals to deal with them in advance, so as not to alert the enemy.
In other words, the other party will never let anything happen to him before the Holy Festival!
Knowing the future plot direction is the biggest advantage!
After thinking it through in his mind, Li Si glanced at the golden warrior Welf next to him. Feeling a sense of security, he said to him seriously:
“Welf, my future safety depends entirely on you, keep working hard!”
Welf looked at the clueless Li Si who suddenly turned around to talk to him. Several question marks seemed to pop up on his not very smart head.
Master, what's going on? Are you suffering from paranoia?
Of course, he couldn't say this. Welf just nodded calmly and gave Li Si a look that said you believe me.
As for protecting the young master, that's of course. I can't imagine how Butler Joyce will take care of me if something happens to Li Si.
Just thinking about Welf made him shudder, and his eyes became firmer.
Li Si looked at the guard captain next to him strangely. Why did this guy's expression change three times in a row when he said something?
But Li Si soon had no time to chat with Welf.
Because in front of him, the school's fifth magic workshop arrived.
The workshop looks similar to the structure of a mage tower, or in a sense, the magic workshop of Fes Royal Academy of Magic is a "public" mage tower, passed down among the academy mages.
The dark black wall has been reinforced with multiple magic patterns, and even gunpowder cannons cannot blast it away.
There seems to be silvery white light flowing on the multi-story tower. In order to ensure the stability of the internal research environment, there are few windows in the entire tower.
Especially there is no sign of "such and such magic workshop". If Li Si hadn't been studying in school for several years, he wouldn't have been able to recognize that this was the academy's fifth magic workshop, one of the core magic workshops in the kingdom.
Before Li Si could reach the door, the thick walls opened to both sides like automatic doors, and a clear and familiar voice sounded in Li Si's ears:
“Li Si, why did you arrive so late?”
Dear readers, please read and collect.
