Abbott's face was as calm as water, as if nothing had happened, and quietly approached Dalton's side.

At this time, Dalton buried his head in the numerous reports of matters on his desk, and had no time to spare, and ignored Abbott's intentions.

Abbott was not impatient, but just stood quietly aside, waiting for the other party to stop.

After a few minutes, Dalton raised his head as if he had a long breath of relief, twisted his neck and looked at Abbott.

Abbott noticed Dalton's sharp gaze swept over, bowed respectfully, and said in a tone that was exactly the same as usual, "Master, it's time to take medicine."

As he said that, Abbott took out a tube of excellent potion protected by spells from his arms and handed it to Dalton.

Dalton reached out to take the potion with a single spell and awesome spell, but did not drink it immediately.

He looked at Abbott, without saying a word, and his five fingers turned with him, and the potion reagent in my hand was turned and hovering, as if he was thinking about something.

The study room is brightly lit, and the magic potion reagents as crystal as gems sway in the bottle, rippling with beautiful ripples, and under this bright light, it emits a hazy halo.

One is opened and one is opened, and the back and forth are repeated.

It's like...it's like this potion has life, breathing.

However, neither Abbott nor Dalton took such a strange scene in mind at this time.

There was only a quiet and awkward atmosphere between the two, which made the atmosphere a little stagnant, like the everlasting ice, emitting a cool meaning to the back.

As time passed by minute by minute, the atmosphere became more and more frozen and cold.

Both of them were silent, and none of them spoke.

The invisible and qualitative, but ubiquitous silence filled the entire study, as if he wanted to freeze the soul of a person, making people feel sincerely depressed and unhappy.

Abbott's face was still stable, as stable as when he first came in, and it seemed that I didn't feel anything.

However, only the dense cold sweat on his back and the hairs that seemed to be standing upside down like a needle tip would know how worried he was.

Of course, there is also this concern.

It was not because he had chosen this path, because since he had chosen this path, he had been ready to sacrifice himself for his own good.

All he was worried about was the regret of failing and unable to do his best.

However, despite this, Abbott was worried and a little grateful.

It seems that I am glad that I will not see the person I least want to see, and the scene I least want to meet.

【It's good, it's good...】

Abbott murmured to himself, as if he had seen it openly, and his heart was peaceful, without any worries or regrets.

Even though his back was still blown by the cold wind and was cold, even if his skin was still numb as if a needle was pricked on his scalp, his heart was very peaceful.

After all, it is normal for Abbott's body, who has not advanced to silver and cannot perfectly control his body, has an instinctive reaction to terror.

But as long as there is no fear in your heart, then everything is not a problem.

However, just as Abbott was ready to sacrifice himself and was ready to dedicate his body at any time, Dalton suddenly spoke.

"Abbott, do you remember I asked you this afternoon, how did you answer?"

Dalton's eyes were faint, not hot, but like a black hole that devoured everything, with a profound meaning.

Abbott subconsciously looked up and looked at Dalton, his eyes connected, but only saw a bottomless abyss.

Abbott only felt that his body seemed to have become light, floating up as if he was not under force, losing all his pull and drifting towards unknown areas.

Abbott instinctively felt something was wrong, his face became ferocious, but he could never get rid of it.

In the end, I could only follow this floating feeling, as if I was about to dissipate between the world.

However, at this moment, a condensed spell aura suddenly burst out from Abbott's body.

A cold light as cold as the moon swept across Abbott's body. Abbott, who was standing in the same place as if he had lost his soul, suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Dalton with a sweaty expression on his face.

Abbott wanted to say something, but looking at Dalton's indifferent face that was as deep as water, unable to see the depth, he could no longer say the words in his mouth.

After calming down a little, Abbott spoke again, "Honor, what happened just now?"

However, before Dalton's answer was met, Abbott himself was startled.

His voice was dry and hoarse, as if the two decaying rotten wood rubbed against each other, making a silence that made people goose bump.

"Curious?"

"This shouldn't be what you want to ask?"

"And, you have been calling the head of the family for so long, it's also very uncomfortable. It's already this time, why do you still have to feel wronged yourself?"

Dalton's lips and teeth moved slightly, and a faint curve was drawn in the corner of his mouth. His tone was unclear whether it was ridiculous or sarcastic, with a complex meaning that was difficult to understand.

"Right, Abbott Brian."

call!

I don’t know when a breeze blew out of thin air in the study room, which had been isolated from the outside world, blew the hair of the two, but made the atmosphere even more solemn.

Abbott suddenly said nothing, but his surrender attitude of being willing to be inferior to others and bowing down and surrender suddenly changed.

The weak but continuous sound, like the sound of firecrackers, came from Abbott's body, and his spine rose step by step, like a big dragon flying to soar into the sky.

Abbott's whole body suddenly became straight, as straight as a javelin.

A sharp, hard, and strong unyielding momentum suddenly rose from Abbott's body.

Since he switched to Dalton eight years ago, he has either lost or hidden spirit and returned to Abbott.

However, in a flash, Abbott seemed to have changed into another person, making people feel a little strange.

"When did you find it?"

Abbott asked casually, his tone was normal and his expression was natural, as if he was having a cordial conversation with a friend with a very good relationship.

However, Dalton did not respond to Abbott's question. The smile on the corner of his mouth did not restrain himself, but instead expanded into three points. "If you really want to get an answer, it's better to restrain your small movements first."

Abbott's expression remained unchanged, but his heart suddenly shook and almost revealed it.

He quietly stopped the actions of Austin and others who were constantly calling outside, looking at Dalton as if nothing had happened.

"Very good, thank you for your cooperation."

However, Dalton was as insightful as ever. Even if Abbott did not reveal it, he knew what he had done just now.

After Dalton praised Abbott's cooperation, he smiled satisfied. When he was about to answer his previous question, he couldn't help but pause.

Just as Abbott was thinking about what tricks the other party would do, he heard Dalton said awkwardly, "Well... where did we talk?"

Abbott looked at the other party's serious expression and thought about it for a long time, feeling that it was really not like he was deliberately teasing him.

Thinking about the helpless situation of others taking the blame for the sake of the fish, Abbott felt that even if the other party did it on purpose, he had no way to refuse, and there was only a way to cooperate.

So, Abbott replied lightly, "I'll ask you when did you find something wrong with mine."

However, Abbott's tone was filled with sarcasm.

After all, he really didn't think Dalton wouldn't remember the topic he had just said.

Not to mention that Dalton has now advanced to the silver, it is a basic operation to keep his eyes open. Even if the other party is still an extraordinary person of the Black Iron level, it is impossible to be so forgetful.

If this is true, then the extraordinary person would be too chilling, not even as good as an ordinary person.

What's more, Dalton himself is a spellcaster with great intelligence, and it is even more impossible for such a situation to occur.

So, Abbott's instinctively thought that the other party was deliberately teasing him.

As for the purpose, it is very simple. Have you seen a cat and a mouse? Dalton did this at this time.

Abbott could have imagined his miserable situation afterwards, and even, he felt that according to the degree of Dalton's perverted personality at this time, it was very likely that he would be in front of Austin and the others.

The purpose is to undermine their self-confidence, expect to anger them, let them make wrong decisions, and thus achieve the ultimate victory.

Abbott felt that Dalton could definitely do such a thing.

And this is also the reason why he did not commit suicide.

It’s not that he fears death, nor that he desires to live.

Just because Abbott hopes to leave something for Austin and the others.

No matter how many, whether it is useful or not, at least he must burn his life and finally play some role and die.

Otherwise, the last part of his life would be a little more meaningless.

It is precisely because of this that Abbott is thinking about chatting with Dalton again, waiting for possible opportunities.

"Oh, yes, yes, sorry, I'm not good in my memory recently, I always forget some unimportant things."

However, Dalton did not seem to hear the bad intentions in Abbott's tone and knocked his head with a smile.

But what makes people feel creepy is that Dalton was still laughing loudly at the last moment, but the next moment he restrained all his expressions, his face was cold, and there was no trace of the previous one at all. It was as if he was split.

"As for when I discovered it." Dalton's face was as deep as water, calm as a bottomless deep pool, and the storm could not arise, "It may have exceeded your expectations earlier."

Abbott's expression changed unconsciously, because he heard other meanings from Dalton's words.

And this possibility made Abbott feel like he was thundering. For a moment, his blood was cold and his face turned pale.
