Amir's return to Rose Manor was much later than he expected. Due to various reasons, he couldn't even use the communicator to notify Kiki so that he could feel at ease.

Pushing open the door at this moment, Amir was relieved to see Kiki sitting on the chair in the living room safe and sound, having fun with the monkey. He just wanted to taunt Kiki as usual, but found that It seems like something is very wrong.

——That's right, Kiki's expression, and the way he's playing with that monkey!

Amir narrowed his eyes, took back what he had said, and looked at the Kiki in front of him again.

Maybe it was just an illusion, but Amir just felt that the Kiki he saw at this moment was full of gloom from inside to outside, and his expression was obviously too cold.Also, with Keech's usual personality, how could he bear to compete with a monkey, he would have put it back in the pet ring, or thrown it out of the window.

Seeing Amir push the door and come in, before Kiki showed any expression, the monkey squeaked and yelled first, as if complaining, and even tried to jump on Amir to escape from Kiki.It's just that it seems to be imprisoned by an invisible force, and it cannot be separated from Kiki's grasp.

"What's the matter?" Amir ignored the monkey, walked straight to Kiki, and asked.

"What could happen?" Keech asked indifferently.

"You look in a bad mood, who offended you?" Amir raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you need me to guess?"

Keech snorted mockingly, and threw the monkey at the obsidian bracelet on his right hand, and the monkey immediately slid into it as if it had received amnesty.Looking at the black bracelet on his right wrist, Kiki said to himself: "I just think that I'm not as good as this monkey. At least it knows that I'm playing tricks on it. Unlike me, I don't know when I'm being tricked." .”

Amir looked at Kiki with some doubts. Although some thoughts made him think that Kiki was mocking himself for a while, he immediately noticed that Kiki didn't look at him at all when he said these words, but stared at him. The bracelet that Hill supposedly gave him.

"What did you see again? Or... who told you what?" Amir asked with a frown.

"It's nothing, it's just that Hill came here." Kiki lowered his eyelids and said indifferently, "Don't worry, he didn't come to reconcile with me, he came to...to break up with me..."

Amir's brows immediately frowned even tighter, intending to comfort or reprimand him, but he felt that everything he said at this moment was too empty to achieve the desired effect at all.So, Amir finally didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and stroked Kiki's black hair.

"I thought I could do without him, but it turns out...he doesn't want me..." Keech didn't dodge, but just looked ahead indifferently, and said lightly: "But don't comfort me, it's already a few days ago I have thought about what I should think about, and if I haven't figured it out, I won't be sitting here."

"Yeah, it's just sad." Amir also smiled slightly, "No one can die."

Hearing the familiar ridicule, Kiki also raised the corners of his mouth, but did not answer, and asked instead: "What about you, why did you come back? Could it be that the letter of recommendation didn't go well?"

"The recommendation letter didn't take much effort. As soon as I told you that you were going to take part in the great magician assessment, those great magicians rushed to write for you." Amir took out three letters and A thick hardcover book was placed on the table in front of Keech.

Keech glanced at the book first, but he was the one who found out the forbidden magic "Gate of Hell" "100 Conjectures About Legendary Magic". that book.

"This book has now been listed as a banned book, and the magic associations of various countries are trying their best to take it back, and the library has not allowed anyone other than the great magician to borrow it. I can only go to Barosh to get this book. Here you go," Amir explained.

"Have you gone to Yuandao?" Kiki asked casually, turning his attention to the other three letters, the top one was signed by Fernando, the bottom one was from Barosh, and the bottom one made Kiki stunned for a moment, It turned out to be Everton, the head of the Yalong Magic Association. "It doesn't matter if he and I... are not familiar with each other?"

Kiki raised his head suspiciously and looked at Amir.He had never studied at Everton's Academy of Magic, and he had only met him once during the assessment.

"The third person I originally planned to invite the Great Mage Zoe, but Everton said that you are a magician from the Yalong Kingdom, and a magician who also came from Yalong should write this recommendation letter, so I put This job was snatched away." Amir shrugged and said sarcastically, "The reason is ridiculous, but it is true, after you pass the assessment of the great magician, check the original recommendation letter , There is not even a great magician in the Yalong Kingdom, that will really be spread as a laughing stock of the Yalong Magic Association."

Kiki pouted, and threw the three invitation letters back on the table, "And then? I will take these three letters of recommendation to the Magic Association, and who will I give them to?"

"Of course it's Fernando." Amir replied, "The time has been set. It will be the morning of the day after tomorrow. Fernando and the others will be waiting for you outside the teleportation magic circle on Yuan Island. You pass it over and give him the three letters. The first step is the end."

"Where there is a first step, there will be a second step, right? I remember you said that the assessment of forbidden spells is the last step of a great magician. So, what's in the middle?" Keech asked.

"Trial." Amir said, "or to put it more bluntly, do some volunteer work for the Magic Association."

"Huh?" Keech was taken aback.

"The Magic Association has a quest system similar to the mercenary guild. The magicians in the association can publish experiments that they cannot complete, items that cannot be found, and information that cannot be known in the system in the form of tasks, and attach Corresponding rewards, and then the Magic Association will evaluate these tasks, and divide them into four levels: beginner, medium, high, and special according to their difficulty." Amir continued, "If you want to complete the assessment of the great magician, you must complete There are three special levels of tasks, and there will be no rewards after completion. The euphemistic name is that this is a trial and assessment of the magician's ability and contribution. By the way, if you really can't choose three special tasks that can be completed , you can also replace one special task with three advanced tasks, that is to say, it is also possible to complete two special tasks and three advanced tasks."

"You can help me choose this one." Keech said disapprovingly.

"I really can't help you with this." Amir shook his head, "The tasks in the association may change at any time. Special tasks are like forbidden magic. Only qualified magicians are eligible to read them. When selecting tasks, I I can’t go with you, I can only rely on you to play.”

"Do I have to be alone when doing the task?" Keech asked.

"Yes, the Magic Association will send people to watch you, cheating is impossible and not allowed." Amir nodded, "The part of the trial usually takes a long time, but the time is also very long. The initial time is three month, every time you complete a special task, you can extend the duration by three months, and if you complete an advanced task, you can add one month, that is to say, you have up to nine months to consume."

After finishing speaking, Amir added: "By the way, it's just that you can't ask for help when completing the mission. You can ask other people about the mission within the scope of the mission itself, but most of these missions involve hunting and killing certain people." A designated monster, to explore a special place, when the time comes, you can no longer find helpers—but you can use scrolls and magic weapons.”

"Yes?" Keech was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, you can." Amir nodded, "Only when you take the forbidden spell assessment at the end, you must clear all the magic weapons on your body. At other times, no one can control you even if you bring a 'Gate of Hell' scroll." you."

"Okay, I probably understand." Kiki curled his lips, then raised his eyebrows, "Now tell me, why did you wait so long in Yuan Island to come back? You won't be entangled by Barosh Living?"

"No, I thought she would want to restore the country, but she is just waiting to die now." Amir said with a little emotion.

Keech didn't make a sound, just tilted his head, and looked at Amir expressionlessly, to see how long he would delay.

"Well, it was Fernando who called me to Yuandao, not only to write a letter of recommendation for you, but also for the marriage between Tina and me." Seeing Kiki's posture of breaking the casserole and asking the bottom line, Amir had no choice but to Shrugging, he revealed the truth, "He hopes that Tina and I can get married before the end of the year."

"Then you stayed there just to prepare for the wedding?" Kiki was a little surprised. It seemed that Amir didn't need to do this kind of thing by himself, right?

"No." Amir shook his head as expected, "I refused, so he left me to 'talk', until now."

"Refused? Why?" Kiki looked at Amir suspiciously, "You...don't want to marry her?"

"I will marry her, but not now." Amir raised his hand and stroked Kiki's cheek, "Now, how to make you a great magician as soon as possible, I will not think about anything until this thing is done .”

"What does your marriage to Tina have to do with my great magician assessment?" Kiki asked puzzled.

"Tina is Fernando's daughter after all, and she is also his only child. Her wedding will not be inferior to the royal family of a country in terms of scale and time-consuming." Amir said lightly, "If Tina and I want to rush to the New Year If the wedding is completed before, then, except for the senior magician assessment that has to be held, the Magic Association will no longer allocate power to do anything, including your great magician assessment."

"Then it's better to postpone it until the next year." Kiki frowned, and soon raised his eyebrows, and asked hesitantly, "Is it more important for me to become a great magician than for you to marry Fernando's daughter?"

"Hehe, after you broke up with that young master, your comprehension has really improved." Amir said with a smile as he took his finger back from Kiki's face.

"I don't want to hear any more topics related to him, Amir, I will warn you for the last time." Kiki said coldly with his face down.

"As you wish." Amir smiled lightly and raised the corners of his mouth, pretending to bow slightly to Kiki.

But Keech just glanced at him, and asked impatiently: "Stop changing the subject, Amir, tell me, why do you want me to become a great magician in such a hurry?"

Amir smiled slightly, straightened up, and said word by word: "Because only a great magician can become the president of the magic association and the uncrowned king of the magic world."

"What... what?" Kiki couldn't help but widen his eyes, and he couldn't believe his ears, "Could it be that you let me pass the assessment of the great magician so that I can become the president of the Magic Association, am I not wrong? !"

"Yes, that's what I mean, like I said just now, you are really getting smarter now." Amir replied with a smile.

"But I think you are simply confused." Kitsch lowered his face, "Let's not talk about how old I am, let's just talk about Fernando, he is still alive and well, isn't he going to do it, and wants to take the position Let go?"

"There is no such thing as the Magic Association giving way." Amir shook his head. "The president of the Magic Association is actually very similar to the Pope of the Holy See. There are only two situations in which there will be a new and old replacement. One is serious dereliction of duty, causing The dissatisfaction of the entire Magic Association requires more than half of the great magicians and more than half of the senior magicians to jointly sign an impeachment application to the Shadow Council, and the Shadow Council can only deprive the original president of the position and select a new association. Chairman. Then, there is another kind—death.”

Keech listened quietly, vaguely seeming to understand something.

"Believe me, my dear, age is not a problem. The "Rules of Magicians" has never stipulated age and gender." Amir held Kiki's shoulders and said seriously, "As long as you get The identity of the great magician is a flawless heir to the chairman, and the next thing is left to me to deal with, so you don't have to worry about it."

Keech frowned, and asked suspiciously: "If you want to get that position, why don't you go for it yourself and push me out as a shield?"

"Honey, you're not a shield, and I'm not joking with you." Amir knelt down and knelt down beside Kiki on one knee, "As for me, unfortunately, it's impossible for me to get that position."

"You will be able to take the Great Magician assessment again next year, won't you?" Keech asked.

"Even if I become a great magician, I won't be able to get that position." Amir smiled self-deprecatingly, "The assessment of a great magician does not include identity verification, but the election for the chairman will track down you. The ancestors lying in the cemetery. Believe it or not, my dear, as long as I become a candidate for the president, within a week, I will be sent to the dungeon of the association and completely disappear from this continent."

"Are you sure you're not joking?" Keech was confused.

Amir smiled faintly, then suddenly changed his voice, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who do you think I am?"

"Aren't you... Amir?" Kiki said hesitantly.

"Amir's name is fake; Amir's identity is also fake." Amir's smile remained the same, but the words he said made people unable to laugh at all, "I killed a magician who was about my age. , got his magic badge, and then fiddled with it, and now I have Amir—me.”

Keech was startled slightly, but Amir didn't seem to have said all, so he remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

Amilton took a moment before continuing: "The reason why I did this is because I have never entered any magic academy in any country, and I have never been an apprentice to any official magician. Moreover, the person who taught me how to use magic is still A soul mage who will be killed if found."

"But you are not a soul magician." Kiki said with a frown.

"That's why I have been able to live in peace and stability in the Magic Association until now." Amir shrugged mockingly, "I once said that the reason why Barosh spared my life was - when she was ordered to kill that The soul mage who taught me magic didn't kill me, and Darren, together."

Amir closed his eyes, and remained silent for a while as if controlling his emotions, and then continued: "At that time, Darren and I heard the screams of that guy before he died, so we hid in the closet to avoid stepping on him. Then, Barosh appeared, she opened the closet and found us, but she didn't say anything or do anything, closed the closet, and told the magician who was traveling with her that there was no one in the cellar."

Kiki has already heard about this matter from Barosh, and now he hears it from Amir, it can no longer surprise him, but he was attracted by another matter, and asked sensitively: "What did you ask him to do?" Soul Mage, but don't mention his name, and don't call him a mentor."

"Because he is not my mentor, and even though he taught me magic, I don't want to thank him at all." Amir raised the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were full of viciousness and hatred, "Perhaps you have heard of child molestation. Words, baby, and Darren and I are the child molesters that guy kept around, and the test subjects... Actually, it's not just us... It's just that when Barosh and the others discovered the existence of that guy and killed him At that time, all the children who entered the mage tower earlier or later than us were all dead, and only Darren and I survived to the end."

"...If it was me, I would kill him with my own hands." Kiki said with downcast eyes.

"It's a pity that I don't have the amazing talent you have, and he didn't live to the day when I was better than him." Amir smiled complicatedly, looked into Kiki's eyes, and said again, " Now, do you understand why I can't fight for that throne myself?"

Kiki nodded, but immediately couldn't help but said: "You don't want me to be your shield, you want me to be your puppet."

"If you care about this, you can refuse. You know, I won't force you, and I can't force you." Amir raised his hand with a smile, held Kiki's right hand, and kissed it under his lips. Then he raised his head and said, "But, if you don't care, then I will send you to the pinnacle of the magic world and become the master of magic overlooking the entire continent, and I will hold your scepter and let you do whatever you want." To enjoy the honor of the emperor-now, tell me, do you accept such an arrangement?"

Keech didn't hesitate, and quickly sneered sarcastically, and replied, "Why not?"
