Chapter 980 (2/2)
”Then why lie to me?”
”...” Lauren.
”...” Ayn.
”Just now I just thought there was an accident, but now it seems that there are more than I thought!” Isaac, with wide eyes, looked very wronged:
”It's intolerable that my friend, my best friend, should unite to hide something from me!”
”What is more intolerable is that they not only hide, but also try to deceive me after being exposed by me!”
”Isaac, we didn't mean to lie to you.” Lauren sighed and looked very tangled: ”yes, I just...”
”Don't want to tell me the truth!”
When he snapped the black haired wizard angrily, Isaac's expression became more and more angry, and he directly picked up one side of the magic wand: ”what can you hide from me until now, and still think I shouldn't know?!”
”It's not that you shouldn't know, but that everyone shouldn't know - including me, because of a... Um, 'accident'.”
”That should be... Huh?” Isaac raised his eyebrows and looked a little better. ”That is to say, it belongs to ain's... Private secret?”
Loren closed his eyes and nodded helplessly, ”you can say so.”
”So... Up to now, only you know - and it's still because of an accident? To tell the truth, don't lie to me!”
”Because of the accident, then...” the black haired wizard flattened his mouth and was very tangled: ”mentor Dalton and... Master ashamay also know.”
Bang!
The wand fell to the ground.
Isaac opened his mouth wide and was so shocked that he could hardly speak.
Grievances were almost written on his face.
”Even... Even master asamai is in front of me. Do you know my best friend's secret?”
”It was an accident.”
Although it is true, Loren himself feels that the explanation is particularly unconvincing.
The atmosphere in the room became very delicate.
The little wizard who was always silent blushed and struggled in his blue eyes.
The dark haired wizard couldn't help closing his eyes.
Yes, the person who really hesitated and was hurt was not himself, nor Isaac, but Ayn.
Only after real personal experience and experience can we really understand the deep malice and prejudice against some classes and gender in a world similar to the ”medieval feudal society”.
Charlotte ran around for the future of the Turin family and Byrne, even sacrificing herself; However, in the eyes of the ”traditional Byrne people”, she can rule the principality in the name of others, but she must not become the Duke of Byrne.
Because of her, not ”him”.
Salina Jonah, who won the title of Duke with the battle of the Centaur in the green sea, was surrounded by all kinds of rumors and rebelled everywhere - without the support of Brandon and Loren, she couldn't even be the head of her Jonah family.
Because she's not ”him”.
Philrone de sallion... Even outside the Queen's empire, they have a higher hatred for the long Princess than Brandon - they love and respect the long princess, but they would rather support Brandon than support her.
Because she's not ”him”.
The church despises wizards, the rich despise the poor, the old nobles despise the new nobles, and the imperial capital despises foreigners... The reason why this empire full of prejudice and malice did not fall into civil war depends on the evil gods in the north and the dragon of Jufeng mountain.
Because in the eyes of evil gods and dragons, humans are no different from mole ants.
Funny, but more cruel.
The dark haired wizard looked up at Isaac and decided to try a more bizarre answer - even if he couldn't fool Isaac and make him feel cheated by himself, it was better than letting ayin
”Isaac!”
At this time, the little wizard suddenly opened his mouth and his voice trembled slightly: ”up to now, it's meaningless to continue hiding - you're right, I shouldn't hide something from my friends...”
”Ayin, you...”
”Loren, listen to me!”
The little wizard grabbed it directly, and then looked at Isaac solemnly: ”Loren, there is only one reason why he has been lying, in order to protect me.”
”Protect you, protect you what?” Isaac was stunned, with a very incomprehensible expression: ”are you special and dangerous - don't tease, ain, you're just an alchemist, and I'm just a wizard.”
”Although I hate such words, the world still looks down on wizards. Even the church can spit at us, roll its eyes and say two sarcastic words - well, unless you are a pagan or witch.”
”Yes.”
Ayn sighed.
”HMM... right, right what?” Isaac's expression froze.
”I mean, you guessed right.”
Take a deep breath, and Isaac was completely frozen by the words of the little wizard:
”I'm... A witch.”
At that moment, the atmosphere in the room became very quiet again.
Slowly close your eyes and the dark haired wizard lowers his head.
Looking at Isaac, who was speechless, the expressionless little wizard took off his head rope, let his long hair spread behind him, and took off his coat:
”If you don't hear clearly, I can repeat that... Word again, but it doesn't mean anything else. I just don't want you to misunderstand.”
”I didn't mean to hide something from you - just as you said, witches are no different from pagans in the eyes of the Empire and the church.”
”Even for your safety, I don't want you to know... So at least in case of an accident, you can be the one who knows nothing.”
The stunned Isaac stood there, unable to say a word - he didn't know how to answer or what to ask, and completely turned into a piece of wood.
”If you think I cheated, deliberately concealed and didn't tell you because of distrust... Think so, and I'm not going to defend anything.”
Pretending to be calm, Ayn lowered her head in an attempt to cover the glittering and translucent corners of her eyes, and the corners of her mouth were more bitter and astringent: ”as you said, I am so stupid and only a little smart. I don't deserve to be a friend of Isaac Grantham!”
The voice fell, and the little wizard who sobbed gently raised his head again, opened the door blocked by Isaac and stepped out of the room.
