Chapter 19 The temptation of the mastermind behind the scenes?

"You" Camus looked gloomy. He didn't expect Li Si to say it so sharply, leaving no room for himself.

Camus had no choice but to take stock of the current situation. Under the suppression of Welf, the golden warrior, he had no chance of recovery.

At the moment, he could only pretend to be concerned about Joel's injury, and he and others carried Joel towards the college infirmary.

Before leaving, he glanced at the azure gem that Li Si was playing with in his hand with great sadness. Seeing Li Si tossing the gem up and down like a show off, he gritted his teeth and turned around and left the scene without saying a harsh word.

Li Si didn't stop them, he just watched them leave quietly, seeming to be thinking about something.

The onlookers saw that the good show ended in such an anticlimactic manner, which made the melon eaters a little disappointed, and they gradually dispersed.

Seeing that Camus and the others had disappeared from sight, Li Si took Welf and continued walking towards the fifth magic workshop. It was already a little late.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Camus found an excuse to leave everyone and returned to his dormitory in the college. As an outstanding student, he was assigned a single dormitory by the school, so he was not afraid of others suddenly breaking in.

Camus, who had been smiling to others outside, finally couldn't hold back the expression on his face and ruthlessly swept all the things off the table. The bell jingled and his face became frighteningly gloomy.

After venting his anger, Camus finally calmed down and thought about the consequences of the failed test.

The secret guidance of Yoel and the others this time should not be discovered yet, but what if the mission fails? There will be no such good opportunity next time.

As for assistant qualifications, Camus doesn't care at all!

I secretly found out that Li Si was invited to go to the Fifth Magic Workshop today, and he took Joel and the others to meet Li Si by chance.

Originally, according to the plan, Joel, as a high-level bronze mage, was enough to test out Li Si's trump card. It didn't matter if he lost for this.

It's just a normal spell duel, it doesn't matter even if the academy knows about it.

But who knew that Li Si didn't play by common sense at all?

It shouldn't be. In my impression, Li Si is a taciturn guy who only cares about magic research. He has never looked like a noble viscount.

I haven’t seen you for a while, why do you seem to be a different person suddenly?

This is trouble!

Your Excellency asked me to test that guy Li Si's current strength and protective cards, but he didn't even take action in a spell duel, what else can I do?

Camus thought about it, although he didn't know why the Lord asked him to do this. Isn't Li Si just a junior mage? Maybe the only thing that people care about is his noble status as a palace viscount.

Camus is confident that under the same conditions as Li Si, he can be countless times stronger than Li Si.

With such a noble status as an adult, one should not care about ordinary nobles like Li Si at all.

And you want to test Li Si's protective trump card?

Could it be

Camus suddenly shuddered and stopped his dangerous thoughts.

What adults arrange for themselves, the upper-level game is not something that a little shrimp like me can participate in.

I am just one of the people who was secretly trained by that person. If I hadn't been assigned to do this this time, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet that person.

When he thought of this, Camus thought of the azure gem given to him, and felt a throbbing pain in his heart.

Originally, this precious magic gem was the supplies for this mission. If the mission could be successfully completed, this gem would be his own.

Unexpectedly, not only was the mission not completed in the end, but even the gems were snatched away by that nasty guy Li Si!

If it really doesn't work, then you have no choice but to do that!

Camus thought bitterly, with a hint of madness on his gloomy face.

——

Welf held the sword and followed Li Si on the quiet college avenue.

After clearly teaching those people a lesson and getting a high-level magic gem, Master Li Si shouldn't be happy. Why can he look so solemn?

Welf was a little puzzled, but he didn't know what Li Si was thinking.

However, Li Si didn't pay attention to Welf beside him. He had the newly obtained azure stone in his hand and was still thinking about what happened just now.

There's something wrong with that Camus!

After receiving an invitation to return to the Royal Academy of Magic in Fes, these people "happened" to meet each other, and "on the spur of the moment" decided to duel with him, and even produced a valuable high-level magic gem!

You must know that the emerald gem inlaid on the staff you use is only as valuable as this azure gem, and is worth more than 10,000 gold coins.

These few civilian mage students with no background or accumulation would not believe that they could come up with such a treasure on their own even if Li Si was killed.

Could it be that he was sent by the Lord of Dawn to give him a treasure?

Really? I do not believe!

Li Si didn't think he was the kind of Long Aotian who could have babies hit his head while sleeping at home.

So there must be something wrong with those people! And the leader, Camus, was the most suspicious.

Then why did they challenge him to duel?

Definitely not the so-called assistant qualification.

The opportunity to study in the fifth magic workshop of the academy is rare, but for this, it would be ridiculous for a commoner to dare to openly challenge a viscount of the kingdom.

Especially that Camus!

When he finally faced his own refutation, he was able to endure it and turned around and left. Does this prove that he is not the kind of person who would go out and provoke nobles just for a qualification?

So since the duel is not for qualifications and I have no other contact with them, then

Their purpose is to duel with themselves!

To fight against yourself?

Come to test yourself and find out your own reality?

Li Si sorted out what had just happened bit by bit, and felt more and more that this episode was not that simple, especially when he already knew that he would face an assassination in three months.

Maybe this time is a test for himself by the mastermind behind the scenes?

Li Si suddenly smiled confidently, if that's the case, that's the best!

You are not afraid to test yourself, but you are afraid that your opponent will always hide in the dark and not reveal any flaws.

As long as their final goal is to assassinate themselves on the Holy Festival, they will never arrange for senior professionals to deal with them in advance to avoid alerting the enemy.

In other words, the other party will never let anything happen to him before the Holy Festival!

Knowing the direction of the future plot is the biggest advantage!

After thinking it through in his mind, Li Si glanced at the golden warrior Welf next to him. Feeling a sense of security, he said to him earnestly:

"Welf, my future safety depends entirely on you, keep working hard!"

Welf looked at the clueless Li Si who suddenly turned around to talk to him. Several question marks seemed to pop up on his not very smart head.

Master, what's going on? Are you suffering from paranoia?

Of course, he couldn't say this out loud. Welf just nodded calmly and gave Li Si a trust-me expression.

As for protecting the young master, that was of course. I couldn't imagine how Butler Joyce would 'take care' of me if something happened to Li Si.

Just thinking about Welf made him shudder, and his eyes became firmer.

Li Si looked at the guard captain next to him strangely. Why did this guy's expression change three times in a row when he said something?

But Li Si soon had no time to chat with Welf.

Because in front of him, the school's fifth magic workshop arrived.

The workshop looks similar to the structure of a mage tower, or in a sense, the magic workshop of Fes Royal Academy of Magic is a "public" mage tower, passed down among the academy mages.

The dark black wall is reinforced with multiple magic patterns, and even gunpowder cannons cannot blast it away.

There seems to be silvery white light flowing on the multi-story tower. In order to ensure the stability of the internal research environment, there are almost no windows in the entire tower.

In particular, there is no sign of "such and such a magic workshop". If Li Si hadn't been studying in school for several years, he wouldn't have been able to recognize that this was the academy's fifth magic workshop, one of the core magic workshops in the kingdom.

Before Li Si could reach the door, the thick walls opened to both sides like automatic doors, and a clear and familiar voice sounded in Li Si's ears:

"Li Si, why did you arrive so late?"
