"Your Excellency has been watching for so long, don't you plan to come out to meet?" Xu Yue's cold voice rang in the room... But after he said this, there was no movement in the room, as if he was talking to himself alone.

Seeing this situation, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his right hand went forward to a dark corner of the room. A white ray suddenly shot into the darkness of that corner. Before the rays came, a black shadow suddenly flew out of that corner and fled to another direction in the room before it stopped. The corner hit by the white ray was just covered by a thick layer of frost in an instant. The stunning cold frost spread over three or four square meters before it stopped. For a moment, the temperature in the room seemed to be frozen in the cold storage with the lowest temperature for several days.

Seeing Xu Yue lifting his right hand again, the figure who escaped from the corner hurriedly said, "Please wait a moment, Mr. Xu Yue, I have no malice."

After hearing the call of his name, Xu Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, but instead of putting down his right hand, he maintained a posture that could inspire the magic ring in his hand at any time and said: "Show your identity and purpose, don't think about lying to deceive me, otherwise you will just turn into an ice sculpture!"

After hearing his words, the shadow's body stiffened significantly. He smiled bitterly and raised his hands to indicate that he would not resist. He walked forward two steps away from the hiding shadow and stood up. Under Xu Yue's light technique, he could clearly see that this was a middle-aged man in his forties who was wearing black clothes and his 40s. Looking at the two sheathed daggers on his waist and his previous actions of hiding with the help of the shadow, it could be seen that this was a thief with a not-low level.

At this time, the thief smiled bitterly and bent over and gave a gift, and said, "Master Xu Yue. I have no malicious intentions. I came here just to send you an invitation at the order of my lady." After that, he used a very slow movement to release an invitation from his body and carefully placed it on the ground in front of him and took two steps back.

Xu Yue looked at him and threw a detection magic on the invitation with his left hand. After finding that there was no toxins or magic fluctuations, he used the mage's hand to grab the invitation in his hand. After slightly clicking his finger on the invitation, the invitation was unfolded by himself.

While paying attention to the thief standing in the distance, he distracted a small part of his attention and looked at the content of the invitation. A moment later, a strange expression appeared on his face. After putting down his raised right hand, he asked the thief: "Are you sent by Christina?"

The thief relaxed after seeing him put his hands down. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes. The lady said you would come to Hongye City, so he told people to pay attention to whether you are here. The news of your arrival was just right before. So the lady asked me to send you an invitation."

"Oh? Christina asked you to come here in the middle of the night to deliver the invitation?" Xu Yue said with a smile.

After hearing his words, the thief's face turned red and said, "Miss only said that he wanted to deliver the invitation to you. He didn't say it. I originally planned to put the invitation in front of your room, but I didn't expect to disturb you. Please forgive me." After that, he bowed apologetically and apologized.

Xu Yue could understand the idea of ​​this thief. He only showed a level 3 mage with good knowledge in front of Christina. He did not show his strong combat power. So although this level 5 thief sent to deliver the letters to him, he was somewhat contemptuous of him. So he wanted to surprise him with this silent way of sending the letter to his door, and at the same time showed the strength of the Christina family. But the thief did not expect to encounter him dealing with two traitors. What surprised the thief even more was that he, the third thief, had the equipment to send out the level 6 magic, which not only failed to achieve the purpose of showing off, but almost froze into a popsicle.

Seeing that the fifth-level thief had already apologized to the third-level wizard in a low voice. Xu Yue smiled and exposed the matter. He put away the invitation in his hand and said, "Please tell Miss Christina that I will visit the mansion tomorrow."

"Waiting for your arrival!" After a breath of breath, the thief retreated with his body in a bow and bowing manner, and in the blink of an eye he hid in the shadow. Xu Yue could clearly feel the other party leaving quickly outside the door with the help of the shadow cover.

After the thief left, Xu Yue waved his hand and blew away the ashes burned by magic from Pitt and Old Henry. After touching his chin for a while, he shook his head and returned to his house to continue sleeping.

The next day when Shirley got up, she found that the chef Pitt and Old Henry were missing. She was so anxious that she searched all over the room, and finally met Xu Yue who had just come out of the room.

"Did Pete and Old Henry? I think they must have left? After all, not many people have left." Xu Yue said casually. He didn't want Shirley to know what happened last night. Betrayal by someone she trusted is a blow.

Shirley obviously disagreed with his words, thinking that the two did not leave before Xu Yue arrived, and after Xu Yue showed up, they had no reason to leave. However, after searching for nothing, she could only temporarily put the matter between them, because Lucini had woken up, and putting Lucini first, Shirley naturally had to take care of her first.

After drinking the potion provided by Xu Yue, Lucini's deficit body had almost recovered, but the mental loss and the sadness of suddenly hearing the news of Oward's death made her mental state very bad. Xu Yue only gave a few words to her. Such a thing is basically useless to rely on persuasion alone, and she can only use time to smooth out the sadness.

After hearing the news that the chef Pitt and Old Henry disappeared, Lucini did not show any too surprised or anxious expressions on her face. She just looked at Xu Yue deeply and said, "You did it? They really..."

After hearing Lucini's words, Xu Yue knew that his junior sister was not unaware of the actions of the two traitors. She probably had doubts. The adversity over the past few years made the girl have no one else's mind and alertness. However, after hearing the disappearance of the two and Xu Yue's identity, she had already guessed the matter.

Knowing that even if it is hidden, it is useless. Xu Yue sighed and nodded without saying anything. After receiving his affirmative answer, Lucini's face turned pale a little more, but fortunately, her body has recovered, and this blow is only mental and will not make her faint again.

"It's true. Only Old Henry, who had been with his father for the longest time, knew a little about the arrangement in the secret room. Although Bradley arranged it in the end and pretended to be forcibly destroying the trap there, there were several signs of magic being trapped in the destroyed clearly indicating that the destroyers were very familiar with the types of these traps, and I was a little suspicious at the time. But in this environment, I didn't dare to think that among the last three people around me, there were people arranged by Bradley." Lucini said sadly.

Xu Yue shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, let him go over the past. Although your body is fine, your mental loss requires time to cultivate. You have a safe cultivation these days. After I solve the Bradley case, you and Shirley will leave here according to my arrangement. After all, you are the teacher's only daughter, and I am not at ease to leave you alone. "

Lucini said nothing about this, but said sadly: "Can you tell me about my father? How did his father die?"

Xu Yue nodded and told about what happened before Oward's death. Of course, he could not tell the story of the Piercing World Sect and his origin. Instead, he said it according to the words left by Oward. In his retelling, Oward suffered a fatal injury while exploring the ruins, and finally encountered Xu Yue after escaping the ruins. However, because his injuries were too severe, he died in a hurry and left the mark of magic inheritance and some simple cultivation knowledge. Before his death, he told Xu Yue to be able to take care of Lucini in the future.

This set of rhetoric was left before Oward's death, so Xu Yue said it at this time without any pressure from Lucini. He took out the staff, robe and some of his belongings left by Oward from the storage ring and handed it over to Lucini who cried after hearing the news.

"It's a pity that I have been learning magic for too short. I spent all the time I had before learning magic knowledge and developing my own power. I didn't expect such a big change would happen to you, otherwise I should have come here to pick you up earlier. I wouldn't let you suffer four years of grievances." Xu Yue said with some regret.

He was really a little disgusted with this. In fact, after becoming a first-level mage, he had barely had the ability and financial resources to take Lucini away. However, at the time he was very unfamiliar with the Tarenmia continent, fearing that he would not have enough self-protection ability. In addition, he encountered the troll siege, and then focused all his energy on the development of the territory and the development of the chamber of commerce. It was not until now that he had time to fulfill Oward's last wish.

At the same time, he did not expect that as an Oward third-level mage, even if he had been missing for four years, the connections and family business he had left before were enough to allow Lucini to live a life of food and clothing. However, he did not expect that Bradley would be a beast who would be kind to revenge. This would be equivalent to Oward's family affairs, and there was a problem with the family, outsiders would not be able to interfere. In addition, the reason why people left and were cold, Lucini was actually in an isolated and helpless situation. This made Xu Yue remembered that Bradley was so angry that he hated him in his heart.

Regarding Xu Yue's self-blame, Lucini shook her head and said, "This is all my reason. If I hadn't been too naive and ignorant under my father's protection, I wouldn't have been cheated as miserably by this beast Bradley. In fact, I should have found that something was wrong, but I kept letting the other party deceive again and again."

After seeing Lucini's angry expression, Xu Yue shook her head and said, "That shameless villain is good at disguising, and you are not prepared for him before, so it is inevitable that you will be deceived. Okay, don't mention him anymore. A mere first-level magician doesn't take him in my eyes. After solving him, we will leave."

After hearing his words, Lucini's face showed a look of surprise. She asked hesitantly: "This... Xu Yue... Master, what level of mage are you now?"

Xu Yue smiled and showed the back of his right hand. After inspiring the magic mark left by Oward, he smiled and said, "Don't be so naive, just call me Senior Brother Xu Yue. I think you won't admit your mistake in the inheritance mark left by the teacher. As for my level, I broke through to the level of a level 3 magician not long ago. But it's just a level 3 initial level."

After Lucini saw the magic inheritance mark on the back of his hand, a big stone in her heart finally fell down. Of course, she recognized her father's inheritance mark, and using this mark alone was enough to prove Xu Yue's identity. When she heard Xu Yue say that she had reached the level of a third-level magician, Lucini's face was completely disbelief.

Lucini's reaction was nothing wrong. For a magician, if he followed the orthodox process, it would take at least six to seven years to lay a solid foundation for the cultivation of the magic apprenticeship stage. If he had no precious potions or other magic items that could help break through the level, it was not uncommon to stay in the high-level magic apprentice for more than ten years. This was the case with Lucini and Bradley before. However, Lucini was unable to break through because of lack of resources, and when Oward disappeared, she happened to be the seventh year of becoming a magic apprentice. After four years of delay, she only studied in the magic apprentice for eleven years.

Before Bradley broke through the first-level mage with potions, he studied in the magic apprenticeship for nineteen years. He was basically the kind of guy who had no talent.

Lucini's surprise. Xu Yue just explained his situation with a smile. After learning that Xu Yue not only used a large amount of resources to improve his magic and mental power, but also used a large number of precious inherited magic balls, Lucini understood why his level had such a terrifying increase speed in just four years. It was almost impossible to smash tens of millions of gold coins into it to achieve such amazing results. Moreover, the most important inherited magic balls in this process are often not something that can be bought with money.

After gaining a clear understanding of Xu Yue's magical strength and economic strength, Lucini's heart was completely let go. What she was most worried about before was that Xu Yue's own strength or power was not strong, and she might not be able to withstand it after rashly facing Bradley. She didn't want this newly-appeared father's disciple to be implicated because of herself. But now it seems that for Xu Yue, Bradley is probably not even an ant.

After seeing Lucini relieved her expression, Xu Yue nodded with confidence. He took out a bottle of potion from the storage ring and handed it to Lucini and said, "This is Bouls potion. Junior Sister Lucini, you have been stuck in the advanced magic apprentice for a long time because of lack of resources. With this bottle of potion, you can quickly advance to the level of a first-level magician. By the way."

Xu Yue patted his forehead, took out a spare storage ring from his body, and derived a lot of magic potions and magic equipment from his storage ring. After putting it in, he handed the spare storage ring to Lucini. From the previous conversation, he learned that Lucini had sold everything he could at home in recent years, and even Oward, a third-level mage, had only one third-level mage, and he gave it to Xu Yue when he died. Lucini could not find anything related to magic on her body.

"This is the advanced storage ring I use as a spare. I have put in one million gold coins and various potions and magic equipment. With these, I believe that after becoming a first-level magician, you can deal with it even if you encounter a level 4 profession." Xu Yue handed the storage ring to Lucini and said.

After hearing Xu Yue's words, Lucini was completely stunned. She stared at the Boersi potion in her hand and the storage ring in her hand, and could hardly believe that everything that happened in front of her was true. Boersi potion was the precious potion that Xu Yue had exchanged for the brain of the mutated monster of the wisdom that could help advanced magic apprentices break through. This potion was almost regarded as a holy object by the advanced magic apprentices in the Tarenmiya continent. With this potion, it was a foregone conclusion to break through to a level one magician, and it would greatly shorten the time for the compression of the magic source.

As for the high-level magic ring worth millions of gold coins and magic equipment that can fight against level four professions, it is of great value that even Oward dared not think about when he was alive, but he did not expect to be sent out by Xu Yue.

Seeing Lucini wanting to refuse, Xu Yue smiled and put the things in her hand and said, "These things are nothing, you can buy them with money. To be honest, tell me, if the teacher had not brought me into the hall of magic and gave me the opportunity to enter the magic world of Tarenmia continent, I would probably be just an ordinary person for the rest of my life. Everything I have today can be said to be given by the teacher. Compared with the teacher's kindness to me, these things that can be purchased with gold coins are nothing."

After repeated explanations, Lucini finally accepted his gift. However, this girl, who was slightly simple, still seemed a little cramped.

Xu Yue looked at her and smiled and said, "Junior sister, please go back to the room and use potions to break through to the first-level magician, and I need to go out. Although that Bradley is nothing to me, I am not from Red Leaf City, or even from the Kingdom of Coles. If you rashly bypass the local forces to deal with a first-level magician like Bradley, it will always cause some rebound from the local forces. However, I also have some friends from upper-level people in Red Leaf City. The other party happened to invite me after I knew that I was here, so I asked her to come out, so there would be no problem with Bradley's handling.

Lucy Ni was a little surprised that Xu Yue had friends in the senior management of Red Leaf City, but she had no objection to this. Although she was not completely clear about the strength and energy that Xu Yue had, she was shocked enough just what she knew now. Bradley's affairs are no longer a problem for her.

After seeing Lucini return to the room, Xu Yue also stood up and prepared to go to Christina's place. I remember that this beautiful magician told him that his family's power in Red Leaf City was pretty good, and he wanted to come forward to appease the local forces because it was easy for him to deal with Bradley's first-level magic.

However, when he arrived at Christina's house, the huge mansion of the other family surprised him. The architectural structure that looked like the city lord's mansion could be ranked among the top even in Hongye City. After asking about the servant who led the way, he realized that Christina's family was not just good in Hongye City as he imagined, but the entire Hongye City was simply the fief of Christina's family, and Christina himself inherited the biological daughter of the family's marquis, the head of the family.

After seeing Xu Yue arrive, Christina and his father showed high enthusiasm. Christina was because of Xu Yue's knowledge, and his father, who was actually marquis, thought that Xu Yue's noble symbol represented the rank of marquis who had actual fiefdoms in the Kingdom of Shia. Although the two were marquis, the real power marquis of the seven kingdoms were completely different from the marquis of a medium-sized country like Coles. If Xu Yue's territory was not still under construction, then his territory should be about several times larger than Christina's father's family fiefdom.

The meeting between the two sides kicked off in a friendly atmosphere. No one knew what the two sides had discussed. However, seeing whether Xu Yue left, whether it was Christina's father or Xu Yue's face, it was known that what both sides talked about made both sides very satisfied.

After leaving Christina's house, Xu Yue did not return to Lucini's house directly. He looked at it and found that it was not too late, so he simply took the opportunity to a branch of the Magic Guild in Red Leaf City. Because Red Leaf City is too small, there is no office of a tower-shaped branch like Black Rock City, it is just a rather grand house.

After staying at the branch of the Magic Guild for an hour, Xu Yue left there again, and the smile on his face showed the gains of the trip.

It was already night when I returned to Lucini's house. Xu Yue did not leave the house for the next two days, and waited until the day when Lucini and Bradley's contract expired on the third day.

Early this morning, the sun had just risen for a while, and a loud noise suddenly came from the far door of the house. Then a short and fat guy rushed in with a group of ferocious guys. The short and fat guy in a mage robe shouted proudly: "Little baby Lucini, what are you thinking about! Are you ready to marry me?" (To be continued...)
