Chapter 159 Strange Scroll
He knew that he couldn't do what Alec did. Thinking about inserting a stone pillar into his 'daisy' to the point where blood and... excrement spilled out made him shiver.
Lathel shook his head and tried not to think about the dirty and disgusting images anymore.
However, even though Alec was seriously injured, Lathel believed that Alec would appear tomorrow. He even suspected that Alec would be higher-levelled when he appeared.
Lathel frowned and asked Claire: "So… what do you want to warn me about?"
Claire nodded and said: "I heard some information from Mardian and Malina that... Mardian will help both of them participate in tomorrow's competition, they will organize an attack, or even kill Alec."
"Naturally, Mardian believes that Alec will easily defeat and kill both Madiam and Mavis. Thanks to that, the feud between Anela and Alec's family became more intense."
Lathel sighed, he asked: "So... what does this have to do with me?"
Claire said worriedly: "Lathel, for now everything has nothing to do with you, however... if we let Alec have more power in the Montague family, I'm afraid... he... he will not keep his promise and cause trouble with you."
Lathel heard that and nodded. Even though there was a peace contract between him and Alec, he couldn't be subjective. If Alec didn't pick a fight with him, then Alec would make someone else do it.
He sighed and said: "But... how can I stop that?"
Claire bowed her head and said: "Don't worry, I will try to destroy their plan."
"Can you do that?" Lathel asked incredulously: "You should remember, you are Malina's servant, you are loyal to her, do you want to destroy her plans?"
Claire bit her lip, not knowing what to say.
Lilith now pouted and said: "Can you see clearly? You saved them, now they want to harm you..."
"Teacher…" Lathel said uncomfortably: "If you don't speak, people won't think you're dumb."
Lilith bowed her head: "Huhuhu... Lathel scolded me... You promised you wouldn't scold me."
Lathel held his head, he felt that everything was already complicated, but now it was giving him even more headaches.
'Wait! Why should I worry...' Lathel suddenly thought of something: 'If Alec enters the academy, he can flex, but it also means that many villains will appear.'
'He will be extremely busy at that time and won't have time to care about me.'
'Ah! It seems... I was thinking too much.'
After thinking about it, Lathel felt much more comfortable.
"You don't need to worry, until then, you just need to make Malina not pay attention to me."
Lathel said confidently: "After entering the academy, Alec won't have time to quarrel with me anymore."
Lilith and Claire looked at each other, then looked at Lathel, they didn't understand why he said that.
But looking at his confident expression, they could tell that he already had a plan to resolve this matter, so they didn't continue talking.
"And…" Claire bowed her head, clutching her dress with both hands. She made an embarrassed expression, and her ears turned red: "I… I have a request that is a bit excessive, if… could you help? Can I?"
"Hmm?!" Lathel looked at Claire, confused: "What do you need my help with? But I need to say something, if it's too difficult or involves my interests, I won't help you."
"Heh?! No! No!" Claire quickly waved her hand and said: "Just… first, I want to thank you for the breakfast you prepared. It… it's delicious, it's amazing."
Hearing that, Lathel immediately realized what she wanted to say. He nodded and replied: "I will prepare an extra meal for you in the morning. You can come pick it up after 7 am."
Claire raised her head to look at Lathel, her eyes filled with admiration and joy: "Thank you, Lathel."
"Oy!" He frowned and said: "It's just breakfast, you don't need to cry."
"No… I…" Claire used her sleeve to wipe away her tears: "I… it's just… it's the first time I've ever had such a delicious meal."
Lathel saw that Claire's expression was extremely genuine, not fake at all. He also remembered the condition Claire and Malina were in before and sighed.
He took out a low-level space bag from his storage space and gave it to Claire: "After all, since you call me your teacher, this can be considered a gift from me to my student."
"Heh?! But… I…" Claire was startled, and she did not dare to accept the space bag that Lathel gave her.
"Tch!" Lathel clicked her tongue and looked annoyed: "If you don't take it, don't come here tomorrow."
"I… I…" Claire pursed her lips and looked at Lilith.
Lilith smiled and nodded slightly. At this point, Claire breathed a sigh of relief and slowly received the space bag from Lathel's hand.
"Thank you, really thank you, Lathel."
"Talkative!" Lathel frowned: "Go away! Buy some nice clothes, after all, you are a girl. You should take care of yourself a little."
"Uhm!" Claire clutched the space bag in her arms as if it were a treasure.
Lathel didn't want to see this scene anymore, so he quickly left.
Seeing him leave, Claire once again bowed towards Lathel, then also left.
Lilith sighed: "Ah! It seems... I have just witnessed the beginning of a difficult love story."
"Wait! Lathel, come back here and practice with me."
Lathel was startled when he heard that. He didn't turn around, instead, he ran away as fast as the wind.
"AA!! I almost forgot you. Lathel! Stop!"
…
Elsewhere, Amleth sat in a somewhat dark room while looking into a crystal ball.
The light from the orb bounced off her face, making her look like one of the dark, villainous characters in a story.
"Hmm?!" Amleth frowned as she saw black smoke appear inside the glass ball. Suddenly, countless cracks appeared on the glass ball.
"Someone burned my bouquet of flowers?" Amleth gritted his teeth, her eyes filled with murderous intent: "Damn it! Surely Ryne was wary of me."
She bit her thumb lightly, she was constantly glancing around as if thinking about something.
"It's okay, tomorrow Lathel will enter the magic academy… hahaha… At that time, no one will be able to stop me from going to him."
"But… that bastard Ryne will definitely arrange for people to protect Lathel."
"Huh! Fool, no one will be able to protect him but me."
Amleth muttered as she looked at the light elemental stone with a few strands of Lathel's hair inside.
Then, she stretched out her soft tongue and gently licked it: "Aww!!! Lathel, I really want to lick you. I want to enjoy everything about your body…"
"Ha… ha… Lathel…" Amleth panted, her eyes becoming more and more crazy: "Don't worry… I… I will protect you…"
…
Elsewhere, in an ordinary room, Banetto—no, let's call him Harris.
Harris had just finished treating his wound. Melyne sat on the windowsill, arms crossed, as she looked at him. Because she was wearing a mask, it was impossible to see what expression she was making.
"Is the wound okay?" Melyne suddenly spoke up.
Harris nodded. He tried to wrap the bandage around his chest and abdomen as he spoke: "It's okay."
"What is your current fighting strength?"
"Around 60-70%." Harris frowned and said.
"That should be enough for you to pass the Karol Magic Academy entrance exam." After she finished speaking, Melyne turned her head and looked out the window.
Harris looked at Melyne; she seemed to have no intention of continuing to talk to him, so he remained silent.
In fact, Harris was about 20 years old this year, so he was old enough to join the Karol Magic Academy.
However, at first, Harris did not intend to enter the academy because he thought they would not be able to teach him anything there.
His father was a Marquis and a level 70 magician. If he wants, his father can hire him a tutor.
Besides... he was a swordsman, not a magician, so he thought entering a magic academy was just a waste of his time.
Harris is different from other people as he wishes to become an adventurer, and he also thinks that only when he becomes an adventurer can he learn more about real combat.
As for the magic academy, he felt that the students were just birds locked in cages, without any fighting ability.
Harris even despised the magic academy, as he thought that they only trained nobles.
However, Melyne had said he needed to join the magic academy, so... he had no choice but to do so. Of course, in his heart, he still completely despised the academy.
Another reason why he agreed to this was that tomorrow, Lathel would also enter the magic academy.
Currently, Harris does not have the ability to point his blade at Amleth, but Lathel is different.
In the academy, at least… he had more opportunities to approach Lathel.
Harris took the piece of jade that his father, Benutt, had given him. It's a space gem, inside there were a lot of gold coins, Rank F and E elemental stones, and a few skill scrolls.
However, what attracted him was a small red scroll with a type of sealing magic on it.
Harris frowned, took out the scroll, and looked at it. He looked at it for a long time, as he was confused on how to cancel the sealing magic.
'Inside is probably a special high-ranking skill, then…'
As soon as Harris finished thinking, he pulled out his sword.
"If you want to destroy that scroll, then just do what you're thinking."
Melyne's voice suddenly rang out, startling Harris: "So what should I do?" Inside this scroll, there is probably some huge secret or some kind of high-ranking skill."
"I want to open it, Melyne, can you help me?"
Melyne walked up to him, glanced at the scroll, then frowned and said: "This kind of seal... is very strange. It doesn't seem to come from a magician, it's more like… I don't know."
"I have a feeling I've seen it somewhere, but I don't remember where."
"However, you don't need to worry about it. Anyway, if you haven't reached King level, don't even think about opening the seal."
"What?!"
