Son of Light and Darkness

When Eli returned to the dormitory, he didn't see Mephisto, but he found a box of exquisite cakes on the table in the hall.

Eli couldn't take his eyes off the sweet smelling cake.

He swallowed lightly, then forced himself to go upstairs.

Carlos said in his ear, "That's for you."

Eli pouted, pushed the door into his room, and threw himself heavily onto the soft velvet bed.

"Are you meditating or sleeping?" Carlos felt bored, and started to find something to say again.

Eli replied lightly: "Meditate while sleeping."

Carlos paused, and then said again: "Actually, you are not meditating, right? What you are thinking about is the cake downstairs, right? If you admit that you want to eat it, I won't laugh at you..."

Eli opened his eyes, silently removed the ring, stuffed it under the pillow, and went downstairs to eat the cake.

After living together for more than ten years, Carlos knows Eli very well, just as Eli also understands that Carlos will not shut up immediately.

What he didn't know was that Mephisto, who was still in the institute's research room, had a panoramic view of his series of actions.

Seeing Eli eating the cake like a little squirrel, with a satisfied smile on his face, Mephisto's cold face softened a little.

"It's really cute to have a pet." Senior also leaned over, resting his chin with his hand, watching the scene in the crystal ball with great interest.

Mephisto turned his head to look at him, and stuffed a thick sheepskin-covered book in front of him expressionlessly into his hand: "This is an introduction to Eudemons, you can read it, but you can't take out the book Hall."

Senior shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Okay, I didn't covet your younger brother. Just take a look! Anyway, Kevin and I brought him back."

Mephisto propped his forehead with his long and slender hands with well-defined knuckles, and nodded thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, he doesn't have a magic staff and Eudemons yet."

Sitting opposite him, Senior bent his index finger and tapped the table: "Do you need me to go to the royal treasury to find him something good?"

Mephisto paused before shaking his head: "No need."

He knew that Eli's proud personality would never accept gifts from others, even if this other person was his biological brother.

Besides, the gift he wants to give Eli will only be found by himself, the best thing in the world.

And what could be better for Eli than that thing?

Mephisto slowly raised the corners of his lips.

Senior also slowly opened his mouth wide, as if he had guessed his thoughts, he looked at him in disbelief: "You don't want to go to the Holy See to take that out, do you?"

Mephisto nodded with a smile.

"You are crazy." Senior gave the above evaluation.

There is only one staff that is suitable for mages of the dark system.It is said that it is the dark holy staff——Yaoyue, which was left behind in the world during the war of the ancient gods.

But the scepter was sealed in the altar of the church headquarters, not only guarded by the highest-level priests, but also suppressed by the enchantment of God.

It is said that the owner of the scepter is Kaluster, the God of Darkness.

Seeing that Mephisto still hadn't changed his mind, Senior could only bless the guarding priests.I don't know if they can withstand this blow at their age?

Mephisto looked at the crystal ball again, and Eli was no longer there. He must have gone upstairs to rest after eating.

In fact, after Eli went upstairs, he didn't rest, but was thinking about how he could make money.

Although Aya and Jin proposed to let him work as an administrator in the library, he could get five silver coins as a reward every week, but it was not enough to cover the expenses he needed.

Magic wands and phantom beasts are necessary items for every new student, and he must earn enough money.

Perhaps it is because a 17-year-old boy who does not rely on anyone is not enough to pay the huge fee that the Pope is willing to agree to this and let Eli enter the magic academy.

In the case of not providing any fees, it really caused a lot of trouble to Eli.

"Do you know how to make money quickly?" Eli asked as he took the ring back.

After hearing this, Carlos let out a contemptuous sneer from his nose: "I am the God of Darkness! How many people are crying and begging to sacrifice their treasures to me, I have to decide whether to accept it or not depending on my mood and weather Collected. The collections of all members of the Dragon Clan combined are less than one ten-thousandth of mine."

"So?" Eli asked patiently.

Carlos's voice became even more arrogant: "So do you think I will abandon my noble godhead for these vulgar possessions? Absolutely not."

Eli finally lost his patience: "Okay. The next time you encounter this kind of thing, you can just tell me that you don't know, and you don't need to talk nonsense."

Carlos lowered his voice immediately: "But I can tell you where my treasure is hidden!"

Eli finally raised his interest and asked, "Where is it?"

Carlos let out a smug smile: "In the Lost City."

Lost city?Sounds familiar.Eli bit his finger to recall, the corners of his eyes twitched.

Then, silently took off the ring and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

How come it doesn't sound familiar?

The legendary city that was sealed in the last battle of the gods finally disappeared from the mainland. It is a city of demons that has been passed down by word of mouth for thousands of years!

There is the eternal dream of countless adventurers and mercenary groups.

But it's just a dream.

Even more than 100 years ago, the greatest adventurers failed to find the fabled lost city.In the end, one can only attribute the city to a false rumor.

Eli was always alert, but this night he slept extraordinarily deeply. He didn't even know that someone came into his room and stopped at his bedside.

Maybe it's because Mephisto added moonglow to that cake

Moonlight grass can send people a peaceful and beautiful dream.

I don't know what kind of story will be in that dream.

Mephisto stood at the head of the bed, and the moonlight poured cool and soft light into the room through the crystal window. Eli, who had changed into the loose nightgown prepared in the room, almost buried her entire small body in the bed. Under the fluffy comforter.

Looking at Eli with only the black top of his head exposed, Mephisto stood there quietly for a long time before bending down and placing a soft kiss on Eli's eyelids.

Good night, my dear brother.

That night, Mephisto went back very late.

In fact, although this independent small building belongs to him, he rarely comes back to live there.Compared with the warm and comfortable big bed here, his research room is more like his home.

Although Mephisto has an enviable talent, he is more known for his obsessive attitude towards light magic.

Sometimes, in order to study the ancient light magic, he can even stay in the research room for a few days without going out, or stay on the top floor of the library.

The library in the academy has set up different magic barriers according to different levels.Only those who have reached the corresponding level can enter the magic barrier set up by the academy.

According to the gossip, Mephisto has gained access to the top floor of the library.

Of course, it is a miracle that this kind of thing happens to others, but it is normal for Mephisto to happen.

The strange thing is that Mephisto, who has been studying magic all night, is still astonishingly beautiful, without the slightest tiredness and listlessness of people who stay up all night.

Perhaps the aura of genius above his head was too dazzling, and many people ignored the dedication and hard work of Mephisto.

Another sleepless night.

When the last grain of sand fell from the hourglass on the table, Mephisto put down the quill in his hand and closed the scroll in his hand.

The kitchen here is kept clean, but never used.

After Mephisto went downstairs, the first thing he saw was the breakfast on the table.

Eli sat at one end of the long table, the Black Forest cake in front of him was almost finished, and there was still more than half a cup of black tea on the side.

On the other side of the long table, there is a plate of hazelnut passion fruit cake with a cup of steaming black tea beside it.

Eli watched Mephisto come down the stairs with a spoon in his mouth, feeling very strange in his heart.

Although their grandfather liked Mephisto and didn't like him, it had nothing to do with Mephisto, but Eli couldn't face him calmly.

There was always a vague feeling that he didn't want to get in touch with Mephisto too much, and he didn't want to meet those bewildering ice blue eyes.

"It tastes good." Mephisto tasted it, and broke the silence.

It's not a white lie, Eli can cook for himself after the age of ten.And he has also practiced amazing cooking skills in the past seven years.

Eli froze for a moment, not expecting Mephisto to speak to him.

When he was with Aya, what he heard the most was about Mephisto.And Mephisto's cold and indifferent character is well-known in the royal city.

Lowering his eyes, Eli hummed, "I ate a piece of cake yesterday."

The implication is that this is to make up for yesterday's piece of cake.

"That's for you." Mephisto took a sip of black tea.

Eli frowned slightly, he was getting more and more confused about what Mephisto meant.

Mephisto finished his breakfast with no expression on his face before looking up at Eli taking the initiative to clean up the kitchen.

Through the translucent kitchen, he could see Eli working skillfully in it, then went upstairs and wrote home to say that he no longer needed to send servants to take care of the house regularly.

Eli, who didn't know that he had been set as free labor by Mephisto, cleaned up and went out empty-handed.
