In fact, the reason why Mia was so fearful was because of the shadow of her childhood.
As a girl who had been groomed as a virgin prostitute, she had personally witnessed her companions, who were a few years older than her, being forcefully violated by disgusting men. In the end, they had a nervous breakdown and turned into walking corpses. She had almost become one of them.
However, she was luckier than those ordinary girls. That night happened to be a full moon, and the cat-human power in her body suddenly awakened. Relying on her sharp claws and teeth, she killed the smuggler who tried to rape her. Then, she took all of his belongings and directly escaped from the tiger's den.
Although Mia was later chosen by Uhtred and received strict assassin training, the shadow in her heart didn't weaken at all. Instead, it grew stronger. So when André revealed his intentions in this regard, she instantly exposed her most vulnerable side.
As the saying went, everyone in the world had a weakness. Even gods were no exception.
As long as one could grasp and exploit the opponent's weakness, one could gain an advantage no matter how powerful they were.
Although André didn't know Mia's weakness, he could feel that his threat had indeed played an unexpected role. So, he didn't keep a straight face along the way. Instead, he put on a friendly expression. Outsiders who didn't know him would think that he was a young man shopping with his girlfriend.
Only the two of them knew how complicated the relationship between them was. They were probing each other, guarding against each other, and at the same time, trying to establish a relationship of trust.
It must be known that trust between people couldn't be established overnight. It required time, a specific external environment, and a combination of interests. It was almost impossible for the situation in some literary works where two people could live and die together after knowing each other for a short time to appear in the real world.
Perhaps because André spent all his thoughts on how to create a relatively harmonious atmosphere, he didn't notice that there was a blue translucent eye watching him from the sky.
…
"This is the person mentioned in the prophecy of the Empire's greatest prophet, Emmanuel?
The master recognized by the Arcane Eye?
The key that will open the door of truth? "
On the other side of the eye connection, a man in a gorgeous dark red robe asked in a low voice.
He looked to be around 30 years old and was about 1.6 to 1.7 meters tall. His entire body was emitting a dazzling magical aura. Almost all of his accessories were powerful magical items. What was even more terrifying was the man himself!
The primal magical energy that had always been known for being wild and uncontrollable had, under his careless manipulation, formed invisible walls of energy in all directions. Now, even if a raging rhinoceros were to charge over, it would be crushed into minced meat in an instant.
Such precise and frightening power, without a doubt, could only be achieved by a Legendary Mage!
Standing not far away from the man, a lich wearing a luxurious robe inlaid with gold threads and gems suddenly laughed and replied, "Hehe, that's right. Walter, old friend, are you surprised?
To be honest, I was also very surprised when I first met him. You have to know that he was only a mere level-7 mage at that time, but he dared to talk to me face to face. Even my disciple, Lauretta Boatons, couldn't do that. This good-for-nothing fellow didn't even have the courage to look me in the eye. I don't know when he will truly mature.
Of course, the most important thing is that he has a mind that is not bound by rules and regulations. He is always full of all kinds of strange ideas. Perhaps the truth is just like what the prophecy said, that he can bring about an unprecedented revolution to arcane magic and restore the glory of the great magic civilization.
You have to know that us old fellows who survived the last war of the gods rebuilt the Wildas Council and formed the secret intelligence organization, Shadow Web. Isn't it all for the sake of making a comeback one day and making the gods pay for what they have done? "
It was obvious that this lich was none other than the mastermind behind the dangerous game that André had forced him to participate in in the underground ruins not long ago.
The Legendary-mage called Walter sized up the ignorant André with a scrutinizing gaze. After a full minute, he nodded thoughtfully.
"Indeed, his way of thinking is completely different from the people of our world, especially the blurred line between good and evil. It's as if he shows an obvious inclination towards evil in one second, and then instantly changes to the good side in the next second. Could it be related to the world he came from?"
Speaking of this, Walter turned around and stared at his old friend with a doubtful gaze.
"Unfortunately, I don't know." The lich spread his hands helplessly.
"You don't know?
Didn't you try to locate his soul?
The birth of every soul is definitely related to the world it was born in. As long as you use Legendary positioning, you will definitely be able to find out where he came from!
Damn it!
You actually wasted such a good research opportunity! "
Walter appeared to be very irritable. To be precise, he was furious. If not for the fact that he had been friends with the lich for thousands of years, he might have started cursing.
To mages, especially Legendary-mages, every new research topic and discovery was enough to make them go wild with joy. That was because it meant that they had taken another step on the path to the eternal truth. Almost no one could resist such a temptation …
The lich shook his head with a bitter smile, and explained, "Do you think I haven't tried to locate him?
Not only have I tried, I've tried countless times, but I've been blocked by an unknown force in the end.
The world he came from doesn't welcome any supernatural forces, nor does it have any magical energy. That's why the spells we're so proud of can't locate him, and it's even more impossible to open a portal between planes. "
"What?!
No magical energy?
Is there any known plane in the multiverse that doesn't have magical energy?
Even if it's a non-magical area, there should still be some energy reaction, right? "Walter's eyes widened in shock, his face full of disbelief.
The two cold glints in the lich's eye sockets flickered, and he quickly shook his head. "As far as I know, there isn't …
So there's only one answer left, and that is that he came from a universe with completely different rules from ours. It's a treasure trove that contains countless knowledge that we're not familiar with. This also explains why he always has so many strange ideas.
Completely different knowledge from another universe. Just thinking about it makes me excited. If he hadn't been acknowledged by the Arcane Eye, I wouldn't have been able to resist the urge to extract all the knowledge from his memories. "
