891 Ten Years Later (1/2)

”That's right.” After learning Fernando's question, Antec made fun of him. ”You were suspicious that a legend surrendered to the Church? What can they gain from that? The common archmages can receive safety and the materials provided by the Church. What can a legendary sorcerer get? After the external problems are eliminated, they will be the first guys to be thrown away.”

Such a smooth and convincing explanation did not sound like something that a guy as cowardly as Antec could have thought of so quickly.

He must have remembered it when the King of Nightmare and Stanis discussed it… Fernando mocked Antec in his heart and said solemnly, ”What exactly are the legends researching in Kufuray City?”

”The mysteries of faith, the deification of gods,” Antec said frankly.

Fernando stared at him with his red eyes, until it was impossible for him to remain calm. He moved his shoulder back and asked, ”What are you suspecting?”

”I don't know, but I'm certain that it is definitely not the answer, at least not the most fundamental answer,” Fernando said solemnly.

Antec was obviously relieved. He looked at Fernando sincerely. ”It is an answer nonetheless.”

”Got it. I won't pursue it any further. Asking a coward to bear too much pressure will make him too scared to go to sleep.” Fernando heard Antec's meaning between the lines. If he asked further, it was possible that his safety could not be guaranteed.

Antec was not angry after being mocked. He patted Fernando's shoulder with a smile. ”The more scared I am, the better I will sleep.”

The smooth feeling on his fingers made him move his hand back quickly. He blushed again because Fernando was still ”Nando”!

Fernando sniffed. Feeling that his body had already recovered, he said, ”I should get out of here as soon as possible. The rotten secrets buried below the ground disgust me. I have goosebumps all over my body.”

In short, he felt that the secrets were dangerous.

”I have brought over the sorcerers you hired. They're out of the city.” Antec was very scared that Furan would see through Fernando's identity, in which case he would definitely become collateral damage. So, he had been trying to persuade Fernando to leave as soon as possible.

Fernando looked at Antec in surprise. ”It's rare to see you so prepared.”

”Hehe.” Antec enjoyed Fernando's ”praise”.

Fernando talked with Antec for a while. After making deals about future reunions, he walked to the door and turned the knob.

At this moment, a man who appeared to be in his thirties walked in. He was so plain-looking that he would have been unrecognizable in any crowd.

He eyed Fernando up and down and said in a low voice, ”Although you are a pervert, you have the vision and analysis abilities that are better than other people's. That's not bad.”

”Am I supposed to be happy for your 'compliment', you idiot who cannot distinguish between dream and reality?” Fernando was as mean as usual.

The man was Stanis, whom Antec had described and painted for Fernando before, and the future King of Nightmare.

”Words cannot bring you any benefits, but magic can,” Stanis said coldly. ”According to Antec, you have some different opinions on illusions and dreams. I hope that they are not too shabby, or it will be a waste of my time.”

Fernando chuckled. ”I also hope that you won't waste my time.”

The two of them communicated their opinions on illusions and dreams in the ward. Although it did not involve the detailed magic symbols and structures, they both benefited a lot from the brainstorming.

A while after Fernando left, Furan, who had been occupied in her teacher's work, came. It was not exactly love between her and Fernando, but she couldn't help but feel guilty when she thought that Fernando's misfortunes were because of her wrong intelligence.

”What? She has returned to Holm?” Furan looked at Antec and could hear nothing else.

She did not say goodbye to her? Did the recent happiness not deserve a farewell at all?

Furan was rather sad that Fernando had left and ignored her charm.

Suddenly, Stanis opened his mouth and said nonchalantly, ”You're interested in a female body with a male soul? Antec is not bad. He has a soul that is even more cowardly than ladies. He'll fit your requirement after some physical modification.”

”What do you mean?” Furan was stunned at first. Then, all the confusions when she was with Fernando surged up, and she glared at Antec. Fernando was not a professional actor at all. It was okay for a short while, but as they spent more time together, there were certain details that Furan found perplexing.

Antec stepped back in fear. ”It… It was none of my business. Fernando was just a pervert who liked to be a girl.”

He did not have the courage to lie before Furan's face.

Gloomily, Furan gritted her teeth hard and did not say anything for a long time. Right when Antec was frightened and trying to move closer to Stanis, she suddenly waved her arm. ”I'll turn him into a real female next time I meet him!”
