"Is it high?"
Arlan patted Rake and Will's shoulders like a big brother. At this moment, the three of them were in a very subtle position, all squatting on the very edge of the eave, and Arlan's two hands were placed on their necks, as if a gentle push would make them fall due to loss of balance.
"High... high..."
Will and Rake were shivering. The eave was only seven meters high, but they were already so scared their legs were trembling; the pride that came from their lineage was long gone!
Arlan found it boring after seeing this. He had no interest in scaring two cowards, but some things had to be said. "The difference between clouds and mud—do you even deserve to say that? Who gave you the courage to mock the life others have fought for through hard work?"
"I... I was wrong!"
Will started crying. At this moment, he only felt like he was about to fall, and his fingers were already numb with fear.
"I was wrong too!"
Rake said, trembling.
"Don't you think you're noble? Then come down yourself."
After saying this, Arlan dropped from the high wall and returned to the grimoire tower in two leaps.
"Help!"
Will and Rake hugged each other and cried. Mages could usually fly on brooms, but they clearly hadn't reached that level yet, so they could only despairingly stay on the roof waiting for rescue.
Inside the grimoire tower, Yuno's grimoire had already retracted its brilliance and fallen into Yuno's hands.
And the surroundings were filled with envy, jealousy, admiration, and a hint of malicious gazes!
Arlan followed that gaze and saw a man in the crowd with unkempt hair, triangular eyes, slanted eyebrows, and a scar on his right cheek that looked like it had been scalded by boiling water.
"That's a truly familiar look."
Arlan laughed at himself. Since coming to this world, he hadn't encountered a bad guy for a long time, but this bad guy... looked too much like Orochimaru, didn't he!
The grimoire awarding ceremony ended successfully here. The godfather happily took Lily and the others to buy things for the celebration. Thanks to Arlan these days, life in the church hadn't just improved by a notch; now they even had spare money to buy some daily necessities.
And Yuno walked back alone, with the criminal who looked just like Orochimaru following closely behind like a shadow.
Arlan curled his lips, following like a fisherman waiting for the snipe and clam to fight.
"Who are you?"
Yuno walked to a quiet passageway and turned to ask.
"To think you found me. But if you want to know who I am, I was quite famous back in the Magic Knight Squad as 'Chain Magic Revchi'."
Revchi said with a wicked smile.
"Revchi? Didn't you intentionally let me find you?"
Yuno said coldly. This black-haired man wearing a wine-red robe gave him a very uncomfortable feeling, especially when he walked into this quiet alley; the man suddenly erupted with an intense hostility that was hard to ignore!
"There's no help for it. If I let you keep walking forward and you run into people, it'll be troublesome."
While Revchi was speaking, countless chains suddenly rushed out from the red bricks on both sides of the alley. These chains appeared so unexpectedly that Yuno was bound before he could even react.
"I don't seem to have anything valuable on me."
Yuno said calmly while struggling secretly, but he found that after being bound by the iron chains, he couldn't mobilize his magic power at all!
"Resistance is useless. My Creation Magic 'Chain Magic: Iron Chain Prison' can seal the captive's magic and movement. And this clover grimoire in your hand is worth a lot of money, so that legendary grimoire is mine!"
Revchi watched Yuno like a cat playing with a mouse; his expression was filled with the pleasure of bullying the weak!
"Don't you know that only those chosen by the book can use a grimoire?"
Yuno frowned, wanting to persuade Revchi to give up this move.
"That's why I say you're still too young. You don't know what kind of price a clover grimoire can fetch among collectors on the black market! And as the man chosen by the clover grimoire, you should have soared in the world like a dragon, but who told you to meet me when you were young? It's truly a pity. Your legend is about to end before it even begins!"
Revchi laughed crazily at the end. His life was destined to be like this; after being exiled, he could only be a thief running around like a rat. But being able to see such a legend fall into his own hands was truly a pleasure that came from the depths of his soul!
It seems that in the future, he should often return to this town to see what kind of life this legend he personally strangled would face. I'm afraid it will be plowing the fields while regretting that he met him!
"To let a legend chosen by a clover grimoire fall—are you worthy?"
Arlan walked into the alley with light steps as if taking a leisurely stroll, giving both Yuno and Revchi a big surprise!
