Chapter 653 New Choice


In the hotel in Lake Town, Mariana stared out the window blankly, not knowing what she was thinking.

A knock on the door sounded.

“Come in.”

“Mother.”

Nathan cautiously pushed the door open and entered.

Mariana looked at him, "How are O'Donnell and Dessen?"

Nathan sighed, "They are still in a coma."

He really didn't understand what happened. What happened, and...

Nathan hesitated again and again, as if he had something to say but couldn't.

Mariana frowned, "What?"

"When I was in the church that day, I saw...you pointed your gesture at O'Donnell, so...did you do it?"

Marianna smiled slightly, "You are doubting Did I turn them into this?"

"Uh...yes." Nathan nodded.

Mariana shook her head, "Then you'd be wrong to blame your mother. O'Donnell and Dessen are entirely to blame for themselves."

Nathan said incredulously: "You mean Did they suffer a backlash from the spell? Dessen can make sense, but with Master O'Dennell's cultivation, it is impossible to think about it."

Mariana was silent for a while. In fact, she also found it incredible that O'Donnell, who had been immersed in spiritual magic all his life, actually stumbled, and it was a big stumble.

"It can only be said... that magic is always an awe-inspiring mysterious thing. We cannot be arrogant enough to think that we can fully control it." She said.

"But..." Nathan insisted: "Even if it wasn't because of my mother, you did target O'Donnell at that time, right?"

"Alas..." Mariana sighed, "Do you remember what I said to you when I was in Cape Bay? The Gleiman family in the Northwest Bay is kind to us."

"Mother." Nathan said with a frown. : "I don't think personal grudges should be placed above the overall career of the spellcaster."

Mariana immediately scolded sternly: "Your life was given by Graiman!"

Is it so serious?

Nathan was shocked. It seemed that before he could remember, his mother and his young self must have encountered huge dangers in the Northwest Bay.

"Okay."

Although Nathan is still not very fond of the Graiman family. After all, he has no memory of this family in his mind, he takes good care of his mother. emotions.

"Let's stop the action against the earl. We will find other ways to deal with Barnett. If it doesn't work, we won't look for it. What does his life and death have to do with us?"

Marianna Diandian Head, "We shouldn't come here. The Northwest Bay is a peaceful and peaceful land. She shouldn't be disturbed by the disputes in the outside world."

Nathan shrugged, noncommittal to her words.

At this time, the knock on the door rang again.

It was Edward, he came in and reported: "Dessen woke up."

——

Mage Dessen stood in front of the window of the room, standing quietly with his hands behind his back.

His eyes moved from time to time, carefully observing the streets and houses in Huxin Town.

In the distance, rows of factory buildings are like neatly arranged boxes, and the chimneys of iron-making blast furnaces are emitting dense black smoke.

"Ha! It turns out that the gears have already started turning..."

Unexplained murmurs came from his mouth.

"Desen!" Nathan pushed open the door and gave him a big hug as soon as he came up. Mariana and Edward also came in.

"I said, brother, you scared me so much that you fell down without saying a word."

Desen responded to his hug stiffly.

“Sorry for making you worry.”

"It'll be nice to wake up!" Nathan let go of the other person's body.

Just when the two people's eyes collided, for a moment, Nathan noticed a strange meaning in the other person's eyes, and it flashed away.

That seems to be a kind of...pity?

Maybe he was dazzled, Nathan thought. "You were in a coma for three days and three nights!"

Mariana said solemnly, "What happened that day? What happened to you and your mentor?"

"Uh..." Dessen covered his head and his face became distorted. "As soon as I tried to recall that moment, my head started to hurt. I'm sorry, Ms. Mariana, I really can't remember the details at that time. Maybe... maybe there was something wrong with Teacher O'Donnell's arrangement."

Mariana sighed and glanced at O'Donnell, who was still lying on the bed. She didn't know when the old man would wake up.

Edward suggested: "Perhaps, Dessen should be allowed to rest first."

Mariana agreed: "That's right, let's go out first. Dessen, if your mentor wakes up Come and tell us.”

Dessen nodded respectfully.

The three left.

Desen came to Odenel's bedside and looked at his mentor with complicated eyes.

"My dear mentor, thank you for your teachings all the time, and even more grateful...you chose me as your assistant for this spell casting."

"Although the spell failed, I ...It can be said that I have been reborn. I am no longer the Desen I was before.”

He said in an extremely sad tone: "Please forgive me for making a new choice."

——

In the Lord's Mansion.

“My Earl, it’s time for you to change into a coat.”

The old butler Philip respectfully suggested to Paul.

"Ah? I remember I only wore it for a few days!"

Paul, who had just returned from inspecting the military camp, asked casually.

“Oh, it’s been three days.”

“Well, you remember it very clearly.”

Paul smiled and began to take off his coat, and just When he was about to hand it to the butler, something fell from his coat pocket and landed with a thud on the ground.

Paul picked it up from the ground, stared at it, and frowned more and more.

This is a pebble, all black.

But three days ago it should have been white.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, and the relaxed look on his face disappeared.

"Call Rubin, Cecil, and Ladi."

Half an hour later, the three people Paul mentioned came to his study room.

The black stone lies quietly on the table.

"Someone cast a spell on you without knowing it?"

La Di said in shock.

"It's obvious, isn't it? The Magic Stone has proven it!"

Paul's tone was a little anxious.

In this world where mysterious power appears, someone quietly casts a spell on himself with unknown effects.

Oh my God! He won't become like Henry's brother, the previous Duke of the Northwest, right?

The key is, who is it?

Paul was terrified.

"There is nothing unusual about the Cape Bay people in Port Fulan. Earl, have you come into contact with any strangers recently?" Cecil asked.

"Strangers? I've seen a lot of strangers in the past few days. Let me think about it..."

Just when Paul was lost in memories, the guard came to report.

“A man who claims to be a magician wants to see you.”

“Magician!”

Paul suddenly recalled something.
