The candlelight in the cave hall was dim, and the fierce battle just now caused half of the lighting settings to be lost, which seemed very gloomy. Kaiyi felt the cold air climbing up to the top of his head along his spine.

"Sir, you misunderstood. How could I plot against you?" The boy's expression was just right, with a little aggrieved in panic, and he lowered his eyebrows and pouted his lips.

"It was not by chance that I noticed you for the first time. I changed three places, theaters, dessert shops, and finally restaurants. You appeared in my sight three times, and each time you were not very conspicuous, but you would be seen. You have some understanding of the terrain and psychology."

"That's because... you're dressing very luxuriously, so I followed."

"The second time I met, I realized your 'courageless' quality. It's not that I have too dark and selfish understanding of human nature, but you are too eager. Moreover, the two boys hiding behind you do not have enough psychological qualities and look timid. But the girl named Mina has a vivid performance. Have you rehearsed it?"

After a moment of embarrassing silence, Kay spoke without any pretentious grievances. "Yes, Mina is very talented in this regard. We have made predictions about this situation, but it has nothing to do with her. I have the idea."

"Since you have opened your head, it will be more refreshing afterwards." Lesatos snapped his fingers and summoned a ball of light green gum liquid. The shape was constantly changing. It had eyes and mouth, making a gurgling sound. The mutated slime made the body concave and became a comfortable sofa, and Lesatos buried himself in.

Kay looked at Slime's innocent little eyes, full of curiosity. "You are like an ordinary nouveau riche in the city, but to me and other thieves and news dealers in this city, it is as dazzling as the torches at night. You did not come in through the gate of Razor City, which is easy to verify. I thought you were a second-generation ancestor who slipped out. Such people usually overestimate themselves and become sympathetic when they were praising them. I want to lead you into the church and find an opportunity to take me and Mina and others away from the control of the God Messenger."

“It sounds like I’m not the first ‘victim’.”

"I've tried it a few times before, but..." Kaiyi curled his lips, "A bunch of playboys with high expectations or low skills are either cowards who are strong outside and do the tricks on the outside."

"Continue, why did the plan change later?"

"When I happened to see you cast a bag of gold coins out of thin air outside the jewelry store, I realized that you and the messenger of God are the same type of people, and maybe they can kill him."

"There is a revenge?"

Kay gritted his teeth and exclaimed: "Yes! Mina's grandfather took us in. Although he was an old man who was drunk, he always took us out of his anger when he was in a bad mood. But he saved my life. That day I touched my bag and was caught by the city guards. The old man threw himself on me and blocked the stomping. Afterwards, he said to me with blood, 'I will be in charge of you in the future. If you dare to steal things, I will break your claws'."

"The old man has a stubborn temper and is very poor. He earned a few pieces of black bread, and was still cursing at our feet, and he was swearing and told us to eat quickly. He said that he was delicious and spicy at the employer. In fact, we all know that there is nothing delicious and spicy at the food. He worked 16 hours a day, ate half of the rotten vegetable leaves and bread slags, and his wages were all exchanged for this little black bread. The old man was mean, and I scolded him, but he beat me if he couldn't scold him, but I never hated him. Even when he was the poorest, he wouldn't allow us to go out to be thieves." Kai's tone became lower and lower, and tears squeezed out from his eyes.

"Later... the messenger of God came." The boy's twisted expression reminded Lesatos of Druciliya. "He said he wanted to raise funds and worship the Dragon God, so he incorporated many people like us. At the beginning, there was no money to print flyers, so he asked us to steal... the old man stood up."

Kay said this, and could no longer bear it and sobbed, "Why is grandpa so stupid? Isn't it just to re-work his old job? What's the point? As long as he is not so stubborn, he won't... he will let me throw his shriveled body off the cliff..."

In the hall, the boy's sad cry echoed.

Lesatos was also in a low mood. He sighed and said, "It is indeed stupid and ignorant. But this world is because of this fool that the innocence of life can be continued."

"So," Kaiyi's mood adjusted quickly, took a deep breath and wiped away his tears, "I want him to die! I had an idea when I saw you. Okay, I said everything I should say, I'll use you to make a living, you can do whatever you want, but it has nothing to do with Mina and the others."

Lesatos patted the slime under him, and the jelly-shaped translucent mud monster changed its shape and made a room, "Come on, sit here." Kai followed Lesatos. The precocious child knew the benefits and the childish feeling of anger left him early.

Kaiyi was sitting carefully and touching the Slime with his hand, feeling cool and soft, more comfortable than the noble velvet mattress I had stolen before.

"You have good talent and wit, but it's just good. The path to learning the law...'

Kay looked up in surprise: "Would you accept me?"

Lesatos shook his head, and the boy was disappointed. "I am a magnanimous person, but it does not mean that I like to be used, so you cannot be directly my student. You have to take responsibility for making mistakes, do you understand?"

"Yes, sir." Kay lowered his head, full of joy, and he could hear Lesatos' tone had a lot of room for reversal.

"My profession is a wizard, a pathfinder who explores the truth of the multiverse, is not a messenger of a certain God. Believe in other gods without my permission. Faith and knowledge are not contradictory, but knowledge will be polluted by immature faith."

“That is, can’t I pray to anyone?”

Lesatos hesitated for a moment, and took out a silver emblem with his hand, depicting golden stars and deep nebula. "This... is the emblem of the good god Bahamut. You can respectfully call him "Lord of the North Wind". If you feel confused and painful, pray to Him."

Kai Yi recited the name of the god twice and solemnly took the god emblem.

"The four elements of becoming a mage are talent, inheritance, diligence, and wealth. The first one is you, and the last two are up to yourself. I will give you the most important one now - inheritance." Lesatus gave Kai a book, with ordinary books sizes and thicknesses, but the cover is inlaid with dragon-style decorations, that is, gems, which makes the boy breathe a little stagnant.

The book shell is some unknown carapace, smooth and hard. The spine is sewn with gold threads, and on the cover, colorful gems are made into a pattern. No matter how you look at it, Kay thinks it is a dragon claw that is spread upward, and the claw heart is burning with blue flames. He glanced at Lesatos and did not dare to ask more questions.

Open the cover, and it is a silver page with a silver version of the title page, which is smooth and bright, with patterns and borders carved, but there is no word. Behind is the directory, which has 10 pages, but except for the first page, there are seven or eight names, the rest are all blank book titles. Turning back, the main text is all white paper.

Kay looked at Lesatos in confusion, while Jinlong shrugged irresponsibly. The boy had to think about it himself, turn back to the catalog, and struggled to identify the first line of words, "Analysis of the Structure of Multiverse". At this time, he suddenly found that the blank book was filled with dense handwriting and a large number of illustrations. He immediately understood and looked at the second line of the catalog, "The Principles of Thinking and Meditation", and the main text was changed all at once.

Kaiyi was so excited that he switched back and forth to the content of the magic book. "I learned these eight books and can I use magic?"

"No." Lesatos was very straightforward. Kay's face drooped. He felt that this teacher liked to play tricks and looked disappointed by others.

"The mage is a very complex profession and requires a lot of basic knowledge. These are just introductory things. This book is called "Scroll of the Source Sea", which I made. Some apprentices are suitable for regular academic schools, while some apprentices are suitable for free-range self-study schools, and I prefer the latter. Every once in a while, the title page shows the task I assigned, completing one, and one more book in the catalog. In addition, completing the task can also obtain 'Fate Points'."

"Fate points?"

"Points can be exchanged for casting materials, research settings, and most importantly - spells from the following catalog. The books in the front are the basics, and each spell must be exchanged for points of fate. This setting is to satisfy the fulfillment of human beings, and to watch the efforts become a visible reward for the naked eye, you can be more motivated."

"It's very good. I just want to invest coins and get treasures like a mythical wishing pool." Kai said happily.

"Overgence of greed and misallocation will also fall into the wishing pool and drown." Lesatos smiled again, making the boy uneasy. "If the task fails, the loss of double points will drop below 0, I will take back all the knowledge and the wealth I have given. Don't think it's difficult to dig out things from my brain. Then you will still be a wandering thief with nothing."

Kay nodded nervously: "I understand that incompetent people do not deserve knowledge."

"Yes, stupidity is the original sin of the mage, remember it."

"Then... can I overdraw my destiny points first, now?"

Lesatos had a black line: "Greed is also... forget it, what do you want."

Kay pointed to the slime that acted as the sofa: "It, I like it."

Lesatos was a little surprised. This silly slime was the product of the Golden Dragon spell experiment. He wanted to merge the shapeshift monster and slime to create biological camouflage against spell detection. As a result, there were quite a flaw. Slime became a pet. When he was in a bad mood, he took out the plasticine of a child and rubbed it hard and pinched it hard, which was quite relieved.

"If you have the vision, you will be 50 o'clock in credit, so you can pay it back as soon as possible, and you won't be the case."

"Thank you, teacher."

"Call me, sir, you are not qualified to call me teacher yet." Lesatus corrected. "It's yours. This guy can't speak, has limited intelligence, but has a lot of functions. I'll teach you."

Lesatos stood up and gave orders to dehydrate the slime. The light green jelly made a grumble like a kitten, liberating the moisture in the body and turning it into a pool of liquid. Lesatos took out a completely transparent layer of glue from the liquid, and could see small eyes and mouth. Lesatos threw the slime onto Kay, which hung on the boy and drilled into it from the neckline.

Kay felt a little cool, like a tight silk, and when she opened the collar, the slime spread out and attached to his skin, turning into an invisible dress, with only its eyes and mouth on the chest, looking at the boy.

"It can provide protection, and its main function is to transform. You can explore it yourself. Don't let me down when you meet next time." Lesatos said and teleported away.

In the hall, the candlelight was almost burning, and Kaiyi poked her new clothes curiously, thinking that Slime's innocent eyes were particularly cute. At this time, the "Scroll of Source" on his hand was slightly hot. He opened the book and found a line of words on the title page of the silver version: Task - collect 500 gold coins or equivalent wealth within 3 hours, with 10 deductions for the fate.

Kaiyi looked blankly for a while and was excited to find that these 10 points were given for free. The God-Empress was dead, but the money he collected was still there, and 3 hours was enough for him to rob him. He rushed to the bedroom excitedly.

Lesatos retracted his gaze and never gave meaningless tasks. The warlock's bedroom and gold cabinet must have negative energy traps. If this child can't even pass this level, it will be useless.

Forget it, it was a whim, and I saw what kind of development it would be in the future. Lesatos flapped his wings and flew back to the Tiya Forest.
