Chapter 18 (1/2)

Law Of The Devil – 018 – A Different Path

Outside the castle dungeon Duwei saw his first subordinate fe to the castle she had spontaneously taken custody of the captive ician

The ician had after all been one of Rolynn’s companions, and even if she had sworn loyalty to Duwei, she still held soinally only been attracted by her charm, and only been with theainst Duwei’s orders and release hi after him personally she could at least show this former companion some consideration, to the limits of friendshi+p

At least after coht, under Rolynn’s care, he had been able to eat Even if he still couldn’t be allowed to sleep or meditate Rolynn’s two retainers, that barbarian warrior and archer, took turns guarding the ic power

When Duwei reached the dungeon, this kind of daree with him

Actually the sight of Rolynn in knight’s attire irl see her hair a bit shorter, tying a silk headband over her forehead, even tri her heroic spirit

Especially putting on knight’s clothinga short skirt like before, she no longer exposed those beautiful long legs Anyway, fitted with a slender sword and a light cavalry breastplate, she rather had the attitude of a knight

“My lord” Rolynn ireeted Duhen she saw him: “You are……”

“I will see my captive” Duwei’s expression was cold, his uard here all night?”

Rolynn looked a bit aard: “Lord, that guy is after all my former companion, I would……”

“Ask for leniency?” Duwei shook his head: “No need, I won’tas he obediently answers o”

Dualked past Rolynn, leaving behind the words: “I’ll speak with him alone, all of you can wait in the outer room Don’t let anyone in”

The rooest cell in the castle dungeon, when Duwei entered therapidly

Even if the ician had forht in the inn, instead he he had been kept from the opportunity to meditate and hadn’t even slept for two days, by noas unable to endure

Since coeon, each time his eyes had closed he had been doused by a bucket of cold water Even if Rolynn was a bit polite, her two subordinates were less so

Originally the barbarian warrior and archer had been less than pleased to have the ician in their party since he was only attracted by Rolynn’s charm, and they had always held him in contempt Their mutual relationshi+p had never been amicable

This ician was already about to collapse He wasn’t chained, a ic poeaker than even an ordinary person anyway But in the daeon he had been doused with cold water more times than he could remember, and his lips were pale fro on a stone bench hugging his knees, while the barbarian warrior stood next to hi: “Hey, don’t close your eyes! Otherwise it’s the cold water for you again! How ht!”

Just as he finished he turned his head and saei, and iestured for hiician: “How is it? Respectedto your satisfaction?”

Satisfaction? Do I look ‘satisfied’ to you? Theexpression on his face: “Mister, as a member of the nobility, why do you treatclan earl, if it becoician this viciously, then afterwards iticians!”

Still want to threaten me?

Duwei curled his lips: “Eh, as that? If it becoician actually , then ould the consequences be?”

Thea terrified expression

Consequences?

The consequences would be very siicians learned of this, then very quickly he would becoician wanted to learn a first rate skill like instant casting! And if an insignificant first levellike it…… Was there any need to ask about consequences?

Just like if a defenseless three year old child carried around old coins!

“Speak” Duwei s isn’t the real thing You definitely used soician, so even if you told me it wouldn’t be any skin off your back I just want to satisfy my curiosity”

Theexpression

“What good will hesitating do?” Duwei sighed: “You’re just a first level icians are rare and respected in this world, that only applies to ician like you, I’ht now, or ic association wouldn’t offend a great noble for the sake of a lowest level ht?”

“You……” The ician’s expression finally relaxed as hishis lip: “You…… If I tell you, you have to promise never to reveal it Because…… This involves ician!”

“I can do that, certainly” Duwei immediately raised his hand and recited an oath: “I, Duwei Rawling, hereby swears that everything you tell ain repeat to others Otherwise, let the radiant Goddess strike me down!”

“……” The uilty consciousness Finally his lips squiric apprentice”

“…… What?” Duas shocked: “What do you mean?”

“I……” The th: “I said, I’th is only on the level of a ician qualifications were only obtained by cheating”

“Cheating?” Duwei’s heart began to stir!

Obtaining ?

According to what Duwei knew, the exaic association couldn’t be so easily deceived! If ician qualification could be be easily swindled, then wouldn’t they be a joke?

“I started studying ician who believed I had the talent for ic and accepted me as an apprentice, and when I was thirteen I acquired the qualifications as a ician’s tone was soicians on the continent, but people with qualifications as ic apprentices nu a true ic apprentices, even with a lifetime of effort, are unable to pass the first level examination and can only spend their whole life on the level of a ic apprentice And I…… Am also one of these pitiful worms”

“Every ician himself clearly understands that none of these apprentices will ever becoician’s follower But every ician will still accept several apprentices Because…… The position of ician is so sublime and revered, and for someone like that, how can they only have a few attendants? Therefore, each ic apprentices These apprentices for the ic, but in truth only a small minority are able to realize that dreaicians know full well that these icians, but they don’t tell theicians need obedient disciples, people to assist theic research, people to support them, as assistants that seem more like servants…… And servants like these won’t even cost theold coin!

My story is just like this I met my htto teach ician I followed hi, but unfortunately…… Later I discovered that it was basically impossible for me to achievepassed the ic apprentice examination Our master just exploited us like free servants, free assistants

He would deceive us with lies, but he clearly knew that of these disciples the icians He knew! But he didn’t say anything!

I spent ten years as a ift It was true that I had a bit e person, and also a tiny bit of affinity for sensitivity…… But that was the limit My talent was limited

Later, I had no choice but to…… to…… study ic alchemy”

Magic alchemy?

Duwei’s eyes brightened!

This fellow’s story was a lot like his!

Only he didn’t even have the ability to pass the hed bitterly in his heart
