There is absolutely nothing wrong with my magic cards!

"That day, the entire Card Creators Association went crazy!"

"Of course, the result also affected the three of them, Mier, Elise, and Ikadinos who took Tata to the exam!"

"Wow...an instant explosion..."

Before Da Zhan could finish talking about the report from the capital, Durkan cut off the communication.

He doesn't want to listen.

I dare not listen anymore.

Alice's wailing was vivid in his memory, as if Durkan and Cornelia who were sitting in the carriage could already imagine the sound.

After listening to it, Durkan himself felt guilty.

did not expect.

When she was taking her third-tier card maker exam back then, Alice's crying was nothing.

Tata, I believe you didn't do it on purpose, but you are really ruthless!

As expected of a perfect demon who inherited the combined power of Talos Matti and Delois.

In just a few years, has it grown to the point where even teachers feel scared?

Episode 17 Advice from Durkan

The car of the Lord's Mansion slowly drove into the Lord's Mansion, and the steady sound of the wheels echoed in the night.

Lights dotted the darkness in the wide courtyard, like lonely stars dotted the vast night sky.

When passing through the carved iron gate at the entrance, the sentries on night duty stood on both sides of the gate, their straight postures were like sculptures, as if they were watching every detail of the carriage.

The drive on gravel-paved garden paths eventually stopped in front of an imposing mansion, flanked by columns and carved niches adorned with delicate floral motifs.

Soon, Durkan and Cornelia got out of the car with Zestrila.

Even though Zestrila was sleepy, she was still stunned to see this magnificent mansion.

She had never seen such a noble family.

"Zestrila, go to bed first, and I will play with you tomorrow."

Durkan knelt down, looked at her and said softly.

"Okay, good night Dekan, good night Cornelia..."

Zestrella, who was already shrouded in drowsiness, suddenly drooped her eyelids and nodded her head in a daze.

Then Durkan asked the old butler to take Zestrila to the bedroom to rest first.

Next, the steward of the Lord's Mansion brought Durkan and Cornelia to the second floor of the Lord's Mansion.

After the steward opened the door respectfully, he saw expensive oil paintings hanging on the wall of the study room, a thick red carpet on the floor, and a thick stack of official documents and books on the long table.

The lights in the room cast flickering light and shadows, reflecting on Croix's face in front of the desk, outlining a deep outline.

Now Croix is ​​sitting in the office, holding a pen in his hand and marking carefully on the paper, with a worried and tired look on his face.

Much like Lun back then.

However, when he saw Durkan and Cornelia coming, he seemed to frowned a little, and put down his official duties.

"Here it is."

"Do you miss us too much?"

Durkan took a little look at the documents on Croix's desk, then sat down leisurely on the sofa in the study with Cornelia, and asked with a smile.

He probably knows Croix's condition all day now.

If he is not so busy with official duties, he will soon be blocked by Judith, Miss Xue Liya and Miss Claire.

Although evasion is shameful, it is indeed useful.

"Indeed... Now I feel that only you can help me..."

Croix also turned off the lamp on the table, walked to the sofa opposite Durkan and Cornelia with a tired look and sat down.

At times like this, although Croix knew that Durkan was not necessarily so reliable at times.

But Croix couldn't help feeling that Durkan would always be his critical friend.

When I was most confused, I was helped by the confident and firm Durkan.

Durkan leaned on the sofa and shook his head helplessly.

Originally, he had the idea of ​​running away.

It's a pity that Cornelia doesn't allow him to be willful.

but.

Since Da Zhan said everything is fine.

That shouldn't be a problem.

You can play freely as much as you want, and you don't have to worry about misleading Croix.

"Do you know what's the most troublesome thing about your guy?"

Durkan asked with a sigh.

"what?"

Croix asked puzzled.

"It's like when Lun was in the frontier, it was unrealistic to save everyone, but he insisted on creating a very high standard of underworld mission conditions for [Throne of Thorns]."

The mission they encountered on the northern border of the Holy Kingdom covered by frost and snow was actually Lun's will, and it was also the problem that Delois and Morpeth faced back then.

In the end, if the detectives of the Holy Nation hadn't discovered the root cause of the problem, it would be hard to say whether Delois and Lun would start to break due to differences of opinion.

When Len is not cornered or touched the bottom line, he will not be as decisive as the other three.

"You don't want to make Judith sad, and you feel guilty for Miss Xue Liya. Of course, every time Claire cries sadly, you will feel guilty. You are different from the demons, they don't understand guilt, and you will always have too strong conscience, and even cause you to become confused or even indecisive."

Durkan continued, then looked at Croix,

"So now you should recognize the reality and be decisive. There is no Holy Emperor to kill you this time. It is impossible to keep all three of them from harm. You must choose Judith or the two sisters."

After Durkan's voice fell.

Croix lowered his head slightly and pondered for a long time.

"Wait, why are there two sisters?"

Croix was startled again and asked.

Didn't he choose to fulfill the marriage contract and stay with Xue Liya, or selfishly break the contract and marry Judith?

"Do you think Claire is willing to be your sister-in-law?"

Durkan asked back.

"...!?"

Croix instantly realized that the problem was more complicated than he imagined.

What a bitter choice...

Croix didn't speak until a few minutes passed.

Seeing Croix fell into an even more confused state.

"If you really can't make up your mind, then I can give you a few suggestions."

Durkan said.

"what?"

Croix stared at Durkan as if his eyes had brightened again.

Sure enough, his best friend is still reliable.

Even Cornelia looked forward with anticipation.

Durkan slowly raised his hand, raised his index finger, and said seriously:

"The first strategy, you don't marry any of them at all, let them all regret for life, and you also regret for life. Then do something big, let Shadow World record your story, and in the next life, maybe you can challenge Shadow World to simulate it. It’s the right way to choose, and then you will be able to find the optimal solution.”

Croix was stunned after hearing this.

He looked at Durkan's serious expression and suspected that Durkan was playing him, but he had no evidence.

But don't say it.

This suggestion really has a sliver of feasibility.

It was cruel to Croix himself...

"Then even if there is a happy ending, it will have to be in the next life. Is there a way to make this life less regrettable?"

Croix asked again.

Durkan thought for a while, compared a pair of scissors, and said:

"You're like this, you take Judith and Claire to the movie world."

"why?"

Croix heard Monk Zhang Er puzzled.

Why take them to the film world?

And why these two people?

Durkan chuckled and explained triumphantly:

"According to your emperor's destiny, there is a high probability that it will be very difficult to fight, but with the cheat of [Holy Emperor's Will to Die], you will definitely not overturn, but the process may make Judith and Claire suffer a lot. torture."

Croix: "???"

Durkan: "At that time, they will all suffer the same torture as Miss Xueliya. When you choose, you won't be biased towards Missy because of this. It's fair to choose anyone."

Croix said nothing.
