"An army of a thousand men?" Yui asked after Gondor had cut off contact over there due to the loud bumps on the road.

Yui made rapid progress under Lina's guidance. According to the plan, they could already go to the Burning Desert for training. However, Lina gave up the plan midway. Yui was being hunted and was difficult to lead.

After going out, she trained a new apprentice. Fortunately, this apprentice did not have a messy background. She took the new apprentice out to accept one after another bounty tasks that would be difficult for ordinary people. She gradually accumulated funds and initially

A small magic academy was established.

Yu Yi and her junior brother began to recruit students, and Lina naturally became the principal. The junior brother appeared with Lina to assist her in teaching, and Yu Yi did not have much behind-the-scenes work besides practicing magic.

People noticed her presence.

In the magic academy, Yui has a private office. Apart from her, only Lina is allowed to enter.

"Well...I was too excited just now. Now that I think about it, I still don't know whether what he said is true or not. What worries me is the Wind Shadow Kingdom in the south..."

"Recently, there are rumors that the legendary thief [White Cape] was brought to the guild for trial. And if I remember correctly, there is only one guild nearby. They take the job of killing people and get paid."

Lina's expression changed slightly. Although the matter about White Cape was finally handled secretly, the news still spread from some people's mouths for some reason. They also said that the person who brought White Cape back was the same person who just brought White Cape back.

Duo.

"It was them, it was them who killed my family! I was absolutely not mistaken, only they could do such a thing! I, I want them all to... die!"

"Apprentice, please don't be impulsive. How can you be their opponent now? Besides, how do you know it must be them? Is there no one else..."

"No, I know it's them! Those people carry crimson daggers, their guild is [Crimson Sealing Throat], and the White Cape is the people there!" Yui said angrily, and then smiled coldly: "

Am I not their opponent? One day I will be."

Lina looked at Yui like this and didn't know what to say, so she could only sigh.

The academy is located near Lina's home. It is a half-rented farm that can be reached in half an hour's walk. The classrooms are a bit crude, but the equipment for magicians is of good quality. They are all transported by the Radiant Alliance.

Those who came here, at the request of the Major Alliance, stayed here to do odd jobs. The venue was also large enough, and now that it was spring, the grain drying field was vacant for the apprentices to try out magic, or have a small discussion.

Such a remote place can actually recruit thirty or forty apprentices. Most of the reasons are attributed to Lina's fame, coupled with the affordable tuition fees and the excellent future prospects. Although each apprentice has different backgrounds,

They all work very hard, even the children of rich people who have come all the way here are willing to stoop to stay here.

"It's getting late, the students have all gone home, and the dormitories have all gone back to their dormitories. Let's go back too," Lina said.

Yui didn't hesitate at this moment, nodded and got up and followed Lina.

Yui comes earlier than the students every day and leaves later than the students. Until now, those students still don't know that she exists. They still think that their class teacher is Lina's first disciple.

Investigating one's life experience is a very troublesome matter. Until now, the admissions teaching assistants are still too busy during the day. Only after all of them have been found out, no one has anything to do with the crimson throat sealing guild mentioned by Yu Yi.

Yui would consider whether to appear in front of the students, but there would always be new students joining in midway, and she would have to be careful, so she might as well just stay in the dark.

"There's still some time before bed, come practice with me." Yui said near home.

"Forget it, now that the flowers, plants and trees have grown, it would not be good to burn them. If you are willing, you can go and burn the desert by yourself. Although it is irresponsible for me to say this, at that time, I was also you

This level has only been achieved by one person, who has lived there for eight years."

Yu Yi frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about it. If eight years can bring her to Lina's current level, and she can still find enemies by then, she will be very happy.

When they entered the house, they were both shocked. There was a man sitting at the table in the living room. He looked very much like the man named Gondor.

Lina screamed in surprise, rushed to the sofa and picked up the messy clothes, and accidentally dropped a piece of underwear.

"Damn it! Who asked you to enter my house casually? Don't you know how to knock on the door?" Lina randomly hid the clothes where Gondor couldn't see them, pretending that the living room was tidy.

Yui cleans and tidies the room every day, but Lina said that after Yui organized it like this, she couldn't find some of her own things, so she might as well keep them in a mess. So Yui only tidied her own things.

Part of it, as for Lina, let it go.

"I came in before you. I knocked on the door, but no one opened it. It was quite tiring to stand. Also, you forgot to lock the door."

Lina was speechless and choked. She seemed to catch a glimpse of the thing Gondor was playing with in his hand, which was the house key. It seemed that he had indeed forgotten it on the table this morning.

What's going on? Will Gondor stay tonight?

"Is he the friend you mentioned?" Yui asked softly.

"I don't have a friend like him."

Yui glanced at Lina's expression, and without saying anything on the surface, he understood deeply and poured three glasses of water over, plus some fruits and snacks, which were placed on the table in a decent manner.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit strange. It wasn't until Lina drank her second glass of water and felt a little full that she asked, "Is what you said about the army true?"

"Why did I lie to you?"

Lina didn't know what to say again.

"Hello, my name is Yu Yi, and I am Lina's apprentice." Yu Yi greeted her late, mainly because she was frightened when she entered the door and did not recover.

Looking at Yui's friendly eyes, Gondor only nodded slightly and said his name at the same time.

The smile on Yu Yi's lips froze. He paused for a moment and asked, "Is the army... related to the White Cape?"

Gondor was shocked and raised his head to look at Yui: "Where did you hear about it?"

"I don't know, I just heard it from outside. Because many people are talking about White Cape, I just asked casually."

Yui is more nervous than Gondor now. The person she heard about bringing the White Cape back to the trial was called Gondor, and now Gondor is beside her!

People who are in the same guild as the assassins who killed their own families!

"Then you guessed it right. I have given the army to your master, and they also have their own station. Now we only need a messenger to ask Lina to send a message, and they will be at your disposal. But Lina, I think there is

Sora, you still need to go over and take a look."

Yu Yi was a little stunned. What was going on with this feeling that the hostility that had just been established was completely destroyed by the impact?

Gondor also felt that there was something wrong with Yui, and that there was something hidden in his heart. Subtle changes in his expression could not escape his eyes.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was even weirder than before.

"It's getting late, Master, Gondor, let's rest." After a long silence, Yui said and started to get up and pack the things on the table.

But for Lina, rest is the biggest problem. The house is too small, with only two bedrooms, and she doesn't feel safe even letting Gondor sleep on the sofa.

Gondor didn't speak, and sat down on the sofa. Lina glanced at him, with a hint of complicated emotions flashing in her eyes, and went back to her room. After closing the door, the sound of the door being locked also sounded.

(Didn’t I always worry when he was away? What on earth was I thinking?...)

Lying on the bed, Lina looked at the ceiling and thought.

"What is the origin of your apprentice?"

The voice was close to a whisper, but Lina was still startled when she saw Gondor sitting beside her bed and looking at her.

Lina sat up straight and was about to scream, but Gondor covered her mouth.

"Shh! Yui might not be asleep yet. My question is very important. She knows too much."

Lina desperately pulled Gondor's hand off, took a few breaths and said, "How did you get in?"

Gondor took out a dagger from behind his back, "I found it from the crack of your sofa. I didn't see it at first and almost hurt me."

Lina snatched her flashing dagger back. Damn it, she couldn't find it. It had fallen into a crack.

Then, Lina pointed the dagger at Gondor to threaten him not to come closer, and at the same time, her other hand tightly covered the quilt on her chest.

"Answer my question, who is Lina Yui? Why does she know that White Cape is related to the army I gave you?"

"I don't know, get out of here!"

"You don't even know who your apprentice is? It's useless for you to point a knife at me. You can't hurt me."

Lina put down the flickering dagger angrily. If she wasn't afraid of burning down her home, she wouldn't mind blasting it with fire magic.

"Didn't she tell you what she asked casually? I also know Bai Haijiao, and I also know it was you who did it. Didn't you just do this when you were gone for more than a month?" Regarding Yui's matter, Lina

She could only hide it. She didn't know what the consequences would be if exposed.

Gondor suddenly had no clue again. If this matter was already known to everyone, then it would be pointless for anyone to say it.

I should have killed everyone who knew about this... But now that I have left the guild and am living in the world as a Radiant Contractor, there is no point in hiding.

"Forget it, go to sleep." Gondor said and stood up, opened the door and left, then closed the door again.
