Determination

Finally having the opportunity to move around, the black bear excited itself with its vigorous attacks, occasionally letting out cheerful roars.

Grand Knight Smaier, dressed in full body armor, was slowed down a lot by the layer of white frost on his armor, falling into a passive beating and letting out angry roars in vain.

Countless clear bear palm prints left many depressions in his armor, and his injured right arm was drooping, apparently broken by the black bear.

But with the obscure and oppressive aura that suddenly appeared in the hall, everyone was terrified, even the red-eyed black bear, whose movements stalled.

A fist-sized, dark, round object appeared in Acting City Lord Hai Wensen's hand. With a twisted and desperate expression, he raised his palm high and shouted loudly: "Let me go! Otherwise we will all die here together!"

Seeing the object in Hai Wensen's raised palm, Raymon's pupils shrank. According to the detection of the chip, the object emitted an abnormal radiation.

The face of Dean Barmer from Heihe Valley also became extremely ugly. For the first time, there was fear in his eyes.

The bear roar emerging quickly from Raymon's throat made the black bear, who had gained the upper hand, very unwilling to stop attacking. Swinging its fat body, it slowly retreated to Raymon's side.

The white frost that originally covered Grand Knight Smaier's armor gradually disappeared with the passage of time. But in the hall where everyone deliberately remained silent, Grand Knight Smaier's heavy nasal sounds became clear. Everyone understood that he was almost exhausted.

With anger, fear, and even regret on his face, Dean Barmer opened his mouth with some difficulty. "Pseudo-device? Hai Wensen, you should know that ordinary people holding such items will be severely punished!"

Seeing the people from Heihe Valley retreating, Hai Wensen's crazy laughter appeared in the hall. With unwillingness and madness on his face, as his fingers moved slightly, the item called the "pseudo-device" seemed to regain its vitality like a beating heart.

Thump, thump...

Staring at the slowly beating round object, Raymon found that his own heartbeat was guided and gradually matched it.

Oppression, nausea, and a strong palpitation overwhelmed everyone's breathing in a short moment.

With a heavy sigh, Dean Barmer glanced meaningfully at Raymon and slowly opened his mouth again. "Leave the Toli family and never enter the Toli family's territory again!"

There was no joy or excitement. The madness on Hai Wensen's face disappeared. Supporting the nearly exhausted Grand Knight Smaier, Hai Wensen, the eldest son of the Toli family, walked out of the hall with desperate and desolate eyes.

Seeing Hai Wensen leave, since his fingers were tightly pinching the item, no one dared to take the risk. Even though Raymon simulated it with the chip, he only had less than a 30% chance of keeping Hai Wensen.

Not until Hai Wensen disappeared did the people in the hall finally breathe a sigh of relief. The powerful pressure that filled the hall finally dissipated.

Regarding Dean Barmer's previous call, Raymon immediately asked, "What is a 'pseudo-device'?"

With strange emotions in his eyes, after sending the others away, Dean Barmer explained.

A pseudo-device is a wizard item that even an ordinary person can use. But such things have an extremely unstable nature and also pose a great threat to wizards. Therefore, they were banned from production hundreds of years ago.

Because wizards are superior to ordinary people, such pseudo-devices that can give ordinary people the power to contend with wizards are hated by all wizards to the extreme. Possessors will be hunted down by all wizards.

Because more than six hundred years ago, a dark wizard once manufactured a large number of such things. During a wizard war, ordinary people with only the strength of knights succeeded in annihilating many wizards, shocking the entire wizarding world.

Therefore, the prohibition of such pseudo-devices was accepted by all organizations and strictly observed.

Anyone in possession of such a pseudo-device will be hunted down, and in severe cases, even punished by clan extermination.

Wizards who dare to manufacture such pseudo-devices will also be severely punished, or even wanted by the entire wizarding world.

After explaining, Dean Barmer's wrinkled old face showed a smile that was not a smile. After looking Raymon up and down several times, he shook his head and sighed, "Raymon, you not only have great potential, but also first-class skills in borrowing strength!"

With a slight smile, Raymon knew that his little trick of directing the black bear just now was seen through by Dean Barmer. A rare embarrassed expression appeared on his face, but Raymon was secretly laughing in his heart.

If Dean Barmer had not been forced to participate, it would have been difficult for Raymon and the black bear alone to deal with Grand Knight Smaier, unless Raymon used the real device in his hand. Otherwise, today's affairs would have been difficult to conclude.

With a wave of his hand, Dean Barmer laughed first. Then he emphasized the contents of the "Wizard Code" to Raymon again.

Knowing that he had offended the old man a little just now, Raymon could only follow behind him and listen humbly to his teachings before entering the bedroom of the old City Lord Amisa.

The entire City Lord's Mansion was in chaos. After the scene in the hall just now was seen by the maids who had stayed in the hall, rumors began to spread as soon as Hai Wensen supported Grand Knight Smaier and left.

Ignoring the disturbances outside, when Dean Barmer and others appeared in the old City Lord Amisa's room, Sai Qi, the old City Lord Amisa's younger son, and his daughter Wen Lan Mao, who had rushed over after receiving the news, finally no longer came to stop them from visiting the old City Lord Amisa.

All those who had treated the old City Lord Amisa were detained under the order of Dean Barmer, even the maids who could get close to him were guarded and waiting to be identified.

Seeing Wen Lan Mao, who appeared at the door with red eyes, Raymon shook his head with a smile at her and then retreated to the corner of the room without speaking again.

Under the examination of those skilled in potions from Heihe Valley Academy, the toxins in the old City Lord Amisa's body had spread throughout his body. Even using precious potions could not save him, at most allowing him to live for a few more months.

"A kind of toxin that only formal wizards can manufacture, tending towards the masterpiece of a dark wizard," Dean Barmer said with some panic, sighing: "Little Hai Wensen grew up watched by me. This behavior has exceeded his ability."

Listening to Dean Barmer's sighs, Raymon frowned, but his mind became distracted. Because he found that Wen Lan Mao, who was lying next to the old City Lord Amisa's bed, was still wearing the familiar robe he knew...
