"Get up first. Seeing that your injuries are quite serious, I'll get a healer to treat you later."
The Second Prince glanced at the monster in front of him. No matter what, he could not associate it with the word 'Knight'.
Since he had once worked for Count Morphetto, he probably had some dirt on him.
Hopefully, the information he provided was useful enough.
Caesar's eyes turned cold.
If he dared to provide him with useless information, he would kill him later and throw him into the river to feed the fish.
"Caesar."
Massey's voice sounded in Caesar's head.
"The person in front of me might be a Forbidden Spellcaster."
"What?"
Caesar looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.
He didn't look like a Forbidden Spellcaster at all.
"Teacher, did you see wrongly?"
The beggar in front of him was a Forbidden Spellcaster?
"Maybe, maybe not."
Massey shook his head slightly.
"I can feel the powerful and surging Forbidden Spell elements from him, but I can't feel any magic power from this person."
"Even if he's not a Forbidden Spellcaster, he still has a powerful Forbidden Spell item on him."
After saying this, Massey's eyes gradually became fanatical.
"That Forbidden Spell contains powerful fire elements. It's definitely not an ordinary item."
"I'll find a way to get it."
Caesar nodded slightly and looked at Reid with a burning gaze.
"Let's go."
Caesar shrugged off his cloak and led Reid towards the royal manor.
First, he would extract Count Morphetto's secret from him. Then, he would test his authenticity!
…
"Phew…"
Reid soaked comfortably in the hot spring.
This was the first time he felt so comfortable after leaving the Dark Elven territory.
Recalling the torture in the interrogation room, Reid felt a dull pain in his body.
Now he had found a new master.
Moreover, he was the Second Prince of the Empire!
As long as he told them everything about the Dark Elves' territory, he would go along and say that he had experience to lead the way.
Wouldn't it be easy to fight his way with a small team and enter the territory?
"Sir Reid, Caesar wants to see you. He wants you to hurry up."
"Coming!"
Reid picked up a towel, dried himself, changed his clothes, and went to the guest room.
He pushed the door open.
Caesar, who was sitting on the sofa, waved at him enthusiastically.
"Baron Reid, come and sit beside me. Let's have a good chat about the things you did for Count Morphetto."
"Of course, Your Highness."
Reid quickly sat down beside Caesar.
He would definitely not miss such a good opportunity.
After this, he would be able to build a relationship with this noble Prince in front of him.
At that time, what was a mere Count Morphetto worth?
He wouldn't let go of the Dark Elves and that damned Count!
"Have some tea to moisten your throat before discussing this matter."
Massey, the only Forbidden Spellcaster in the entire country, smiled and snapped his fingers.
A ball of blue flames appeared in the air.
Just by sitting by the fire, Reid felt as if his body wanted to bask in the sun. It was warm, and he could not help but squint his eyes and enjoy it.
Massey picked up the brass teapot on the table, filled it with some scattered black tea, and placed it on the flame.
In less than ten seconds.
The faint fragrance of tea accompanied by boiling tea gradually spread throughout the entire room.
For some reason, Reid couldn't control himself just by smelling the fragrance of the tea. He couldn't wait to try it.
"Please have some tea."
Massey picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Reid first.
Reid couldn't wait any longer. He grabbed the hot teacup and poured all the tea into his mouth.
When the tea entered his mouth, there was an indescribable sourness, but after the sourness, there was an endless sweetness.
"Good tea! Good…"
Before Reid could finish, his eyelids drooped and he fell onto the coffee table.
…
"Teacher's medicine is still as effective as ever."
Caesar smiled indifferently and pushed Reid off the sofa next to him in disdain.
"It's just right to deal with such a useless and nosy person.
Massey's smile disappeared instantly. He picked up the remaining glass on the table and drained it.
"This tea can only refresh a Forbidden Spellcaster like me."
"But if an ordinary person drinks it, they'll sleep for a long time."
Caesar looked thoughtfully at Reid.
"It seems that the mana fluctuations on his body came from that piece of charcoal."
"Not bad."
Massey untied Reid's waist pouch and opened it. The charcoal that contained powerful fire elements was inside.
"This is it!"
The moment he touched the charcoal, the temperature around Massey rose rapidly with his emotions.
"I've lived for almost a hundred years, but this is the first time I've seen such pure materials for fire elements!"
Massey shook with excitement as he held the dirty piece of charcoal in his hand.
"If I send this piece of charcoal to the distant Divine Kingdom, I can definitely make a Calamity-grade Forbidden scroll."
"Even if I don't make it into a scroll, I can use it to embed a staff or make a magic amplification ring to greatly increase the effect of the Forbidden Spell!"
"So powerful?"
Caesar looked at his teacher in surprise.
"That's right."
Massey nodded affirmatively.
"Take the fire I used to boil water."
"With the enhancement of this charcoal, that little fire can burn down the entire room!"
"Do you remember the apprentices I trained?"
"Most of them only know how to set fire like this. Other than setting fire, they can't learn any other spells."
"But if we could just give each of them one of these amplification rings…"
"It'll be much more lethal."
"Even if we only know how to set fire, it's enough for us."
Upon hearing this, Caesar's gaze became fanatical.
"This charcoal is really a good thing… Unfortunately, there's only one piece."
Thinking of this, Caesar suddenly felt that it was a pity.
"Even if I really make it into an amplification ring, I reckon I can only make a dozen at most.
"There's something you haven't considered."
Massey smirked.
"He must have taken this charcoal from somewhere else."
"And there should be more fire elemental treasures there!"
"Teacher, what are you waiting for?"
Caesar looked at Reid on the ground.
"Hurry up and use the Soul Searching Technique on him. Search all the secrets he has hidden in his soul!"
Although the Soul Searching Technique could cause one's mind to be in a mess and one's memories to be chaotic, there was even a possibility of death.
However, Caesar did not care about Reid's life at all.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Massey bent down and placed his hands on Reid's eyes and heart.
He closed his eyes, and the scarab emerald pendant hanging on his chest slowly spread its wings.
In an instant, Reid's memories flooded Massey's mind.
From the first time he picked up the Knight's sword to the moment he fell onto the coffee table with a bang.
Most of the memories here were not used by His Highness Caesar.
Massey raised his hand and slashed down, shattering most of Reid's memories!
What was left was what they needed.
Accept Count Morphetto's request, lead the team to the Forsaken Land, and…
Massey's brows were tightly knitted as his gaze paused on a frame.
A Dark Elf that had long perished?
