Slowly opened his eyes, the dim yellow candle light reflected into Dalton kand''s vision, and the black wizard who was awake from his coma showed a little self mocking smile. It also involved the wound on his face, which made his cheeks tremble slightly.


    An empty wooden house, a candle on the table, and I sat in a chair. Of course, both hands and feet were chained, the original straight black robe was torn out of shape, and the position of the chest was still permeated with dark red blood marks.


    The wand was taken away, and some self-defense weapons he had hidden on his body disappeared - the people who caught him knew him very well, and even tied his thumb and index finger together with a string.


    Even so, Dalton kand''s face was not surprised, even a little more clear, as if he had guessed that the other party would do so.


    "Old tricks." the black robed wizard, who was wounded all over, was still as sharp as the blade.


    "It''s because it''s practical, so it''s old-fashioned."


    A somewhat mean figure walked from the shadow to the candlelight. The boots under the broad robe rang on the floor. Under the robe, the outline of the long sword could be vaguely seen: "aren''t we such people, Dalton kand."


    "Lute infinit." the black wizard who said the name seemed to think of some bad memories, and his eyes were a little more disgusted.


    His fluffy and slightly curly brown hair was scattered on both sides. On his knife and axe cut cheeks were a pair of strange golden pupils, mixed voice and gray sideburns, which proved that he was similar to Dalton in age.


    On the left hand as like as two peas, the "caster" gloves, which are exactly the same as Loren, are the gifts that Dalton Kandeh gave him.


    "Your skill is not as good as before, otherwise it must be much more difficult to catch you." looking at the embarrassed black robed wizard in front of you, the middle-aged man named "rut infinite" shook his head: "it seems that the career of College Tutor has made you step back a lot, and you don''t even realize it''s me."


    "I have completed my mission and don''t need to go back." Dalton stared at him coldly. "We have a commitment. You shouldn''t appear at all!"


    "That''s right, but now we need you again. Can you just watch it?" Ruth infinite went directly to Dalton and looked at him with cold eyes. "Have you forgotten your oath?"


    "We need you, the Empire also needs you. Now is not the time to bargain - Dalton kand, I''m not bargaining with you. Don''t forget who gave you all this!"


    "I don''t owe you." the black wizard said without fear, "my debt has been paid off."


    "Nonsense!"


    The furious Luther grabbed Dalton by the collar and stared at him: "it was us who helped your mentor Peter dredge the relationship and asked Duke Fred to allow him to establish this college here; it was us who gave you the information of vimpal castle! Without us, how could you and your mentor build a wizard college?!"


    "And I have been working for you for twenty years!"


    "But now we need you!" Ruth infinite widened his eyes. "Old friend, if there is any possibility, I won''t bother you, but the situation is really critical!"


    The black robed wizard''s hands were still bound by chains. His wrists were full of blood marks, but his expression was still stiff, as if he couldn''t feel any pain at all.


    "What do you need me to do?" Dalton kand seemed to laugh at himself. "As you can see, I''m no longer what I used to be. What''s the value of an old wizard to you?"


    "It''s true that the years don''t forgive people." rutt loosened the black wizard''s collar. "I''m old, too. I''m not as old as before - if someone had talked to me like this before, he''d say goodbye to the world forever!"


    "We need a wizard, a wizard who can be absolutely trusted and has excellent skills. The most important thing is that this person must not be one of us to ensure that he will not reveal his identity."


    "That''s why you think of me?" Dalton kand couldn''t see an expression on his stiff face, but he could see some ridicule in his eyes. "That''s really disappointing you. My answer is still impossible."


    "No... just the opposite."


    LUT infinite, who was just as angry as a lion, suddenly smiled, stood up and looked down at the stiff black Wizard: "old friend, your reaction was completely expected."


    The atmosphere in the room gradually eased a lot, but the air was still cold, even more biting than just now. Dalton kand, sitting in his chair, said nothing, as if he were looking at a ferocious poisonous snake.


    "So from the beginning, I didn''t place my hope on you - this may not be correct. I should have shifted my goal after I knew what you did. You''re just my bait, not my prey."


    Dalton, with an unchanged face, picked his right eye, and a very confident premonition came to his mind. He had almost guessed what LUT infinite was going to do.


    "Loren Turin... It''s his name, isn''t it? I seem to have vaguely heard of it." lute''s eyes completely changed: "he''s your apprentice. Even the ''caster'' gave him, which is enough to prove that you attach importance to him."


    "After coming to the Principality of lottel, I heard a lot of rumors about him - ancient wood Town, vimpar, shenlinbao... There are even rumors that he killed the vampires of the college. Another theory is that he saw the Holy Cross."


    LUT infinite smiled directly: "in contrast, I may prefer to believe the previous one."


    "Even if these are false, he still cracked the ghoul incident in Gumu town and killed a fairly high-level wandering wizard; recent rumors also say that he caught all the rebellious nobles in Shenlin castle, helped the little count win the whole territory, and went to Gumu forest and elves to fight against the ogres."


    Facing the people in front of him, the black wizard did not change his face, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes.


    "I have to admit, Dalton, you are really unmatched in cultivating apprentices." rutt infinette sighed: "if my fools could be half his level and efficiency, things wouldn''t get worse."


    "Since you don''t want to, I have to pay attention to your apprentice - just when you were unconscious, I have asked a priest who is going to Shenlin castle to send a message for me. I believe you can ''reunite'' with him in a short time!"


    "Kidnap me and blackmail Loren Turin for your service with my life?"


    The black wizard with stiff expression finally showed a sneer, with endless ridicule in his words: "you really don''t know him at least, even almost stupid."


    "Loren Turin, he will never take risks for the lives of others - he will not even take any action until he is sure. In terms of indifference and reason, he is a standard wizard, and none of the Wizards is selfish, and so are you."


    "People change, and even you leave. We choose to work for our mentor, don''t we?" rutt shook his head, completely ignoring Dalton''s words.


    "I have enough confidence that the wizard named Loren Turin will come to save you and accept my conditions - we have plenty of chips in our hands, and there must be more things that can move him."


    "This is blackmail."


    "No, if it''s just blackmail, it''s too low-level, and it''s hard to guarantee how loyal he will be to us." Ruth infinit''s expression is very pondering: "have some confidence in me, old friend, even a person with a mean temper like you has willingly dedicated 20 years to us?"


    The more the black wizard sneered, he narrowed his eyes: "sorry, did I say anything funny?"


    "Yes, you''re too self righteous." Dalton kand''s voice was as calm as the cold winter: "Loren Turin... He''s different from any Wizard you''ve ever seen. You can''t even judge by common sense. You''re playing with fire and setting yourself on fire!"


    LUT infinite''s expression cooled down:


    "I''m looking forward to it."
