Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 488 The weight of the ‘thief’ and the tacit understanding
  "So, senior, do you think Mr. Inzat is still trustworthy now?"

In the evening, Avis, who had finished today's combat skills training, listened to Alina's experience in the morning with a little helplessness, and expressed his attitude tactfully by asking questions.

"Of course, there is no doubt about it."

Without giving any reason as usual, Alina answered very firmly.

"But to some extent, your attitude should be very clear..."

Seeing that he couldn't get the explanation he expected, Avis was stunned for a moment, then carefully considered his words and continued to express his opinion.

"After all, I can confirm that what the gentleman said was not superficial. This alone has a lot to offer me."

Satisfied that she had induced the young man to express his true thoughts on his own, Alina could not help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, and belatedly added the explanation that she was sure was lacking before.

"so…"

Looking at the person next to him who showed no guilt, Avis couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly, and finally carefully restrained his impulse to question and tried to remain silent.

"Of course I believe he also knows this. After all, as he said, there should be a certain tacit understanding between 'thief' and 'thief'."

Having said this, Alina couldn't help but smile more confidently than before, which made Avis feel relieved but also raised new questions.

What is a ‘thief’? What role do they play in the ‘Sky Scholars’?
  This was a question he wanted to ask in the morning, but could never find the right time to ask.

At this moment, seeing the senior mention it on his own initiative, he simply seized the opportunity and asked questions.

So, after simply ending the previous topic that made him feel a little bad, he immediately turned his attention to his new question, "By the way, senior, what is a 'thief'? You can simply Can you explain it? Of course, if it’s not suitable for me to know, I don’t need to know.”

"A group of thieves with some special talents." Just when Ives thought he would not get a more detailed explanation, Alina next to him unexpectedly gave him a further explanation again. 's explanation, "During the ancient Second Era, there once existed a group of people who seemed ordinary but were actually extraordinary. Their own magical talents were not high, but they were proficient in various theft-related magics and could use the ultimate theft magic Stealing other people's magical talents and magical properties and using them for their own use. Although these evil thieves have been completely wiped out by the three sages, some simple stealing skills and some people who are willing to change their ways have We will not remain silent in that chaotic and dark era.”

"That's it, that's good...!"

Ives thought that the committee member had mastered such evil and cruel magic. Ives was initially frightened, but when he heard the senior next to him quickly give a negative answer, he breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart. Later, he realized that he had laughed out loud because of his unfounded worries, "Yes, if this kind of evil magic really still exists, then I don't think the sages will just sit idly by and do nothing."    "Maybe it really does exist. , after all, Xila can survive to the current era through 'residence', so it's not surprising that a 'thief' with special abilities survives, right?"

Seeing that her words soon caused a wave of trembling and fear among the young people next to her, Alina could not help but slightly curl her lips, and then changed the subject, "I'm kidding you, that kind of evil magic actually existed as early as the first It was already restricted outside the laws before the end of the second era, so even if the current 'thieves' intend to follow suit, they cannot break through the restrictions of the laws and notarized contracts."

"Notarized contract?"

Ives subconsciously asked, but the next moment, he was already aware of his presumption. He hurriedly squeezed out a polite smile and apologized, "Sorry, senior, I was presumptuous."

"The notarial contract is a magic item left by Lord Sky. It is said that it was an agreement reached by Lord Sky with the holders of those taboo elements before destroying those taboo elements. It clearly records the magic of opening those taboo elements, and it also clearly records Ways to seal them.”

"So that's it. I understand. Thank you for informing me." Although he really wanted to ask the other party why he knew these things, considering his own position and the failure of many previous attempts to test the information, he finally chose to give up questioning temporarily. , and turned the focus of the inquiry to another thing that concerned him, "So, senior, are you also a member of that 'thief' family?"

"No, I'm not." Seeing the young man's obvious expression of surprise, Alina calmed down her somewhat mixed feelings and said calmly, "I accidentally met ' The half-hearted way in which thieves establish relationships is different from the thieves like Inzat who have accepted the orthodox inheritance."

Some special reason?

Ives silently repeated the words of the senior next to him in his heart, and finally gave up the plan of getting to the bottom of it, and continued to ask about other things that concerned him: "Senior, you know that the current 'thieves' still roughly understand What talents?"

"It would be more appropriate to ask Inzat directly about this question." Just when Ives thought that he could not get the answer he expected again, Alina next to him said again out of common sense, " But I know what you are worried about, so I can give you an overview of what I know. Although the current 'thieves' no longer have the conditions to cast evil magic, the most essential 'talent' still exists. Therefore, Even if they can't steal your magical talents and magical properties now, they can still simply steal some of your ideas and magical knowledge. As for what you can see in reality, money and important items, these are the 'thieves' Introductory courses are a no-brainer.”

"That's really dangerous..."

After imagining the situation where he had lost some important memories silently, Avis couldn't help but shudder, and made a heartfelt comment with a reluctant smile.

"It is indeed dangerous, so our Lord Water Begonia, shouldn't we thank Mr. Inzat for his kindness?"

Seeing the young man's forced smile to suppress his fear, Alina couldn't help but slightly curl her lips. Once again, people couldn't grasp her true intentions and turned the topic back to the 'hypocritical' cornerstone...
