Tasia has a code of conduct.
"I'm very interested in what you said, Wayne, and want to find out more details. But if others see me chatting with my classmates at work, they will inevitably think that I am lazy, which will affect their reading experience. It’s a bad feeling.”
...Good guy, after you said that, I feel a little guilty for interrupting your work.
Wayne pressed his cheek in shame.
"Sorry, maybe I should come back to you later."
"It's okay." Tasia led him out of the library through the side door. "Okay, no one usually comes around here, so we can continue talking now."
Obviously, she attached great importance to the information revealed by Wayne.
"Ahem." Wayne organized his words and revealed part of the difficulties faced by the O'Neill family after slightly modifying them.
"External rumors, including Marquis O'Neill himself, believe that this is a curse." He said softly. "But I'm thinking, if 'curse' is a new magic spell, it is almost impossible for it to be created out of thin air. There must be its underlying logic."
"And this underlying logic is very likely to be dark magic."
He seemed to have no idea of his blood connection with the Laird family, and calmly repeated the information he had.
"If it is really another manifestation of dark magic, even if the church can't find anything, Tasia, your light magic will definitely make it invisible."
Tasia's face was complicated when she heard his trusting words.
"I...I'm not that strong. Dark magic is good at hiding. With my current strength, I may not be able to detect any clues."
Like the "seed" in Wayne's body, hasn't he always been able to find it?
Wayne comforted him nonchalantly: "Don't put too much pressure. If you can't find anything, just think of it as playing. Speaking of which, this can be regarded as helping those two children eliminate a possible hidden danger."
Now that it’s all said and done, Tasia really can’t refuse.
"I understand, just let me know when you can leave." She agreed.
"Thanks! In return for taking the time to help, how about I treat you to something to eat?" Wayne suggested happily.
"There's no need to eat..." Tasia hesitated, "If possible, Wayne, can you make me a promise?"
Ah... how come Tasia, you also learned this trick?
The smile on Wayne's face froze for a second, "Are you going to write a blank check again and only tell me the contents when you think about it later?"
"no."
Tasia's eyes were so pure that they seemed not to be contaminated by any impurities.
Under such clear eyes, Wayne felt as if it was unreasonable for him to have any doubts about her.
"Okay, okay." Wayne retreated. "I'll sign it even if it's a blank check."
Tasia pursed her lips to hold back a smile.
"You made your promise, and you will never go back on it."
Now that the words have been released, Wayne naturally no longer hesitates and insists: "Okay, I will not go back on my words."
Looking at his face, Tasia said very clearly: "I want you to promise that you will never intentionally come into contact with dark magic, and you will never try to use dark magic."
"...I make this promise as a friend of my Tasia Louise. As a close friend, I will provide you with the greatest support I can no matter what difficulties you face; if either of them breaks their promise, Then it would be a betrayal of this precious friendship."
When she said this, her expression was serious to the point of seriousness.
Wayne was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly.
"I know, I'm a magic genius! Even if it's just an ordinary earth element, my strength will only be slightly weaker than yours in the future. Dark magic has no appeal to me at all."
If you take into account Echos' magical girl power, the dark magic method, which seems to be crooked at first glance, has no chance of winning.
Seeing how open-minded he looked, Tasia looked relieved.
"That's good." She breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not that I don't trust you...it's just that there have been such troubles in the church." Tasia said, "The church's internal documents record that a senior member of the Holy See fell because of the temptation of dark magic. event."
"That bishop was a talent valued very much by the church, but because he was too eager for powerful magic, he secretly colluded with the evil forces at that time to awaken the magic of darkness."
"Later, his secret was exposed, and the Pope personally ordered that all the members of the Holy See Tribunal be dispatched to kill him in one fell swoop."
Tasia reminded him intentionally or unintentionally of the terrible consequences of awakening the dark magic.
But for Wayne, who had no such intention, it always felt like she was scaring children, "If you don't obey, the police will arrest you."
"Well, dark magic is really dangerous. The church seems to have been pursuing relevant clues." He sighed casually.
"Yes."
Seemingly realizing something, Tasia suddenly added: "By the way, if you encounter any clues in the future, Wayne, just remember to tell me first. I will judge whether it is necessary to inform the church."
"Well..." She pondered for two seconds and thought of a less obvious excuse. "This is also done to avoid wasting time due to misjudgment. There is no tool in the church that is more efficient than my light magic identification tool."
Although what she said made sense, Wayne would not be fooled by her high-sounding rhetoric.
——Obviously he was afraid that his "bomb" would be detected by the church people, so he dismantled it directly at a designated point.
"No problem! Now that I have discovered the clue, won't I come back to you right away?"
Wayne pretended not to notice her ulterior motives at all.
The two made an appointment, and Wayne waved goodbye to Tasia with a bright smile on his face: "I'm going home first, and Tasia don't stay in school too late."
"OK."
After watching him leave, Tasia returned to the library.
Although it felt like we only talked for a short while, in fact it was almost closing time.
At the front desk, a middle-aged woman wearing square glasses was sitting in Tasia's seat, sorting documents.
"Have you finished whispering with your classmates?"
She quipped without looking up when she heard Tasia's footsteps.
"No~" Tasia waved her hands quickly and defended with some embarrassment, "It's a very important matter."
"Tasia, although it seems that I shouldn't say these words to you, I still want to remind you to be careful of those aristocratic young men who look very dazzling?" This woman with an intellectual temperament suddenly warned. .
