After the end, everyone left the room.

The noise when we came was gone, everyone was silent and the atmosphere was calm.

Think about how many people the Ghost Maze recruited and how many people survived in the end. The gap between them, every number, is bloody, and what they faced next was like this. Even before everything started, they had already died dozens of people. This situation was cruel and suffocating.

And so what if you survive? Think about what Senior Brother Disi said.

Become a noble wizard, or a humble sailor? Or something else?

On the way they came, everything they saw and heard made them clearly realize that there were ants besides wizards.

Even the Great Knights have a status that is worse than those of them who have not yet studied wizards. It's a pity that they are willing to become like this.

In addition, their eyes of Edith, John Lily and Arthur also changed from the beginning.

Senior Brother Disi's words gradually exposed their ambitions. When qualifications are no longer the decisive factor, who is willing to remain inferior?

In order to increase his persuasion, Senior Brother Deesi also mentioned a prominent example of the familiar Chris Wizard.

It turns out that the qualifications of Chris' wizard are not good, and it can even be said to be extremely poor. It is the worst among all the apprentices recruited. Even the wizards who do not think that qualifications determine everything do not have much hope for him. After all, it is difficult to recover even if they are extremely poor.

However, while studying wizards, Chris showed talents far beyond others.

Although he made slow progress in spiritual cultivation, he was unique when learning knowledge. Although he was dragged down by qualifications, he still became a formal wizard before he was thirty years old. Although there were people who became wizards earlier than him, they were still far inferior to him in total.

After becoming a formal wizard, Chris seemed to have removed the shackles of qualifications and made rapid progress. In just ten years, he reached the peak of the first-level wizard, only one step away from the second level. He is the first person in the young generation of the Ghost Maze, and he is called the Son of Night from the outside world.

Arthur still remembers that when Senior Brother Disi said this, he swept away his previous talk, his graceful look, his face flushed red, and he was very excited and fanatical, as if he was a follower of the wizard Chris.

Of course, he was still rational, and this performance was only a moment, but it was enough to make people move.

As for why the Ghost Maze sent such a powerful wizard to recruit apprentices, it is actually easy to understand. Because of the tradition of snatching apprentices, it is easy to capsize in the gutter without sending powerful wizards, which is undoubtedly intolerable.

Among the four people with excellent qualifications, everyone had even more bad intentions about Arthur and Edith's eyes, and Arthur knew the reason very well.

He was regarded as a soft persimmon because he performed the most mediocre in the previous attacks of the Red-Eyed Crow. Even if he turned the tide in the end, he had a great component of opportunism.

Edith performed very well and had a very strong strength, but his disadvantages were also obvious.

He is now twelve years old, older than many people. Although he is at the age of being able to cultivate mental power, he still has to learn basic knowledge with them. Only after passing the knowledge assessment can he start to learn a real wizard.

But it is only the prime time for wizards to practice at the age of twelve to 18. Missing this time period before starting to learn wizards is undoubtedly unfavorable. Even if his qualifications are excellent, it will be greatly reduced. In this way, others will have the opportunity to surpass them.

Not only Edith is like this, but other apprentices who were robbed are in this situation. Edith is relatively good, only twelve years old, and most of them are sixteen years old, and the oldest is eighteen years old. The value of training these people is relatively low, so they are all worried and confused about the future.

However, both Arthur and Edith were very calm in the face of others' observations.

Arthur was originally very calm and would not be disturbed by such a small thing. Moreover, he did not think that he was worse than others. Now he said anything and did nothing. He would have a long life in the future and would prove everything.

Edith had no expression on his face, but this was the biggest abnormality. You should know that he usually acted very arrogantly, and he was not much worse than anything else. But now he put away his arrogant expression, with no expression on his face and his lips pursed tightly.

Arthur also noticed that his fingers holding the long sword were a little white, obviously not as calm as they seemed on the surface. But Arthur did not look down on him, but instead felt that Edith was very terrible. Perhaps this was his true face, and the so-called arrogance was just an appearance.

He believed that if Edith did not fall as others had expected, then there would be no doubt that the others would be the one who was unlucky.

...

Red Building, first floor living room.

Lily sat on the sofa and said angrily: "Who are they? If we hadn't held the red-eyed crows before, they wouldn't know how many people would have died, but today, a group of ungrateful wolves!"

"And Edith, who is already like this, I don't know how to keep warm. I kindly asked him to attend the party together, but he ignored him!"

John sat beside her, silent.

Arthur smiled, signaled Belle to pour water while waiting, and replied, "There is nothing to be angry, it's just human nature. You say they are ungrateful, so what else can I say to such people?"

"As for Edith, he's always like this, right?"

Although Arthur said so, he didn't agree with it. He didn't know what John Lily and the others were thinking at that time, and whether they wanted to help others relieve the stress. Anyway, they had to hold the Red-Eyed Crow down. Who made their strength too shocked among everyone? The Red-Eyed Crow would concentrate the main force against them and want to eliminate the biggest threat.

In other words, they are not active, but passive, so there is no fact that they have been kind to others. Although it seems like this on the surface, in fact, whether there are or not these people, it will be like this in the end. After all, they do this out of self-protection, not to help others.

Although Lily has always acted very simple and kind, her brother John is more realistic in comparison and is wary of others, but she is still very immature. After all, she is still a child.

Arthur did not believe how much truth, goodness and beauty can be achieved by young brothers and sisters who could survive from the slums. Even though John protected Lily well, he still saw too much filth and reality in this world. It goes without saying what choice would be done when facing a situation that threatens his life.

"I just couldn't be angry!"

Lily shouted, jumped up from the sofa, crossed her waist, bulged her cheeks, looked bulging, her eyes staring at Arthur, straight, full of fascination.

Arthur naturally would not not feel her eyes, but he did not show it, as if he did not realize her admiration.

Lily sat down again, looking a little disappointed, but she was cheered up again after a while.

John didn't say anything in this.

People in this world are very precocious, women get married very early, and poor people are even more so. Many slum girls are only eleven or twelve years old and are already mothers of children.

It is always difficult for a girl to hide her feelings when facing someone she has a crush on. Arthur has always been very clear about Lily's admiration for him, but he has never responded. He has an adult mind and is not a pedophile. Of course, he has no feelings for the little girl who is still bean sprouts.

However, he never showed it. He still needed to maintain his relationship with their siblings. After all, the cost was too low and he could not think of any reason to refuse.

PS: Isn’t it a scum? Yes, it’s a scum! Actually, I think it’s either always sincere or not to hide it from the scum. The most disgusting thing about “I love you, but I just can’t control myself” is disgusting.
