In the study, Dragufil dismissed Seven.
After the Mage in the dark purple robe left with a look of confusion, that person slowly emerged from the secret passage opened in the study.
He was handsome and elegant, his black noble robe was very form-fitting, and the jeweled dagger was held behind his back by the hand he had behind him.
"Caven, didn't you say you had something important to tell me?"
"It's just you and me now, you can talk."
Dragufil pressed his temples. Although he was busy with official documents, he always maintained patience with his advisor, Enoc Caven.
Indeed, upon hearing Enoc Caven say he had something important to report, Dragufil dismissed Seven after finishing the morning's official documents and met Caven alone.
Dragufil didn't even lift his head when he heard the sound of the study's secret passage opening.
He was Enoc Caven, the guy who had followed him since he had nothing and was expelled from his master's tutelage!
Could he possibly harm me!
"City Lord,"
Enoc Caven approached Dragufil step by step, his tone as calm as a still well, no different from usual.
"I think, I found the Second Prince's man."
"The one who wants to kill you."
Enoc Caven spoke word by word, his gaze sharp, staring intently at Dragufil's raised neck.
"Really?"
Dragufil turned back and actively leaned towards Enoc Caven.
He stared into Enoc Caven's eyes with a serious look for a few seconds, and after noticing Enoc Caven's panic, Dragufil shook his head with a light chuckle and returned to his desk to sit down.
Enoc Caven found the mole?
Dragufil smiled.
That person, he had searched the list of nobles provided by Seven for an entire night, and in the end, he didn't find him; instead, it was dawn.
Even he couldn't find him, and Enoc Caven found him in an instant?
If there really was that person!
Sadness appeared in Dragufil's eyes.
If there really was that person, Dragufil sadly discovered that only Enoc Caven could be that person.
Isn't this ridiculous!
Blue flames ignited in Dragufil's eyes, and stacks of documents burned within the flames.
That day, in front of many shadow Mages, he, Dragufil, personally said, "He, Enoc Caven, cannot be the Second Prince's man!"
"Really."
"I'm not lying to you."
Enoc Caven's lips curved upwards.
The distance... is enough!
Within half a meter, facing the completely defenseless Dragufil, he was completely confident of killing him with one blow!
"You really found him?"
Dragufil shook his head. His cloudy eyes, lost in memories, once again became full of spirit, sharp as an eagle's!
"Yes!"
"That person," Enoc Caven could already barely suppress his excitement, and the hand holding the dagger began to tremble slightly.
It's here, it's here, the final moment has finally arrived!
"It's me!"
"Puchi!"
The sharp dagger was inserted into Dragufil's neck by Enoc Caven with all his might!
Fast, fast as lightning!
As if all this had been rehearsed a thousand times!
The next step was to withdraw to prevent Dragufil's temporary counterattack!
Enoc Caven suddenly pushed back with his feet, only to discover in horror that the hand holding the dagger seemed to be clamped tightly by a pair of crab claws!
Unable to move!
Then came the huge gust of wind heading towards him!
I'm going to die!
Enoc Caven looked at the fist close at hand, only feeling his face sting from the wind, and the shadow of death immediately enveloped him!
Dead, am I dead!
"Hoo—hoo!"
"Hoo!"
Enoc Caven gasped for air, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
He survived.
Dragufil's near-death explosive strike was stopped by himself at the last moment.
The fist carrying terrifying power now trembled and loosened.
"Dong~"
Dragufil lightly flicked Enoc Caven's forehead, and then his entire body collapsed onto the desk like a collapsing mountain.
He actually smiled!
Enoc Caven tried to move the hand that Dragufil had grabbed, and it withdrew very easily.
However, Enoc Caven dared not approach Dragufil easily again!
This guy is like a wild beast, you never know if he'll suddenly give you a blow!
Enoc Caven's small body couldn't withstand Dragufil's casual strike!
Even now, Enoc Caven still felt a slight sting on his forehead where he had just been flicked.
"Damn Dragufil, you were indeed prepared!"
"I was almost killed along with you!"
Standing in a corner of the study, Enoc Caven pulled out a book from the exquisite bookshelf and threw it fiercely at Dragufil.
"Patta!"
The book hit Dragufil, making a considerable sound.
"He should be dead, right? Otherwise, there's no way he wouldn't react?"
Enoc Caven wasn't sure, so he threw another book fiercely.
"Patta!"
"Patta!"
Several books with neat notes hit Dragufil precisely on the head. Only after seeing that Dragufil remained unresponsive did Enoc Caven breathe a sigh of relief.
Enoc Caven approached Dragufil cautiously and slowly.
The feeling of crisis and fear from being near death still lingered in his heart.
Although he didn't know what kind of madness had struck Dragufil, still!
Enoc Caven dared not gamble again!
"Tear—"
The dagger was gently pulled out from Dragufil's neck by Enoc Caven.
Suddenly, Dragufil's body twitched!
Enoc Caven immediately ran far away!
However, after Enoc Caven realized it was a normal reaction of a corpse, he breathed a sigh of relief and returned to tidy up the mess.
The books scattered all over the floor, Enoc Caven found the handwriting very familiar.
Enoc Caven thought for a moment and realized it seemed that Dragufil had said he didn't like reading books, so he himself had extracted the content of each page into notes and recorded them at the top of each page.
Three or four sentences at most, one or two at least.
He didn't expect them to still be kept?
Enoc Caven was slightly surprised.
But he quickly knew!
He must have read for a long time but never finished!
That's why he kept them!
[The refined content of this page: Mountains have peaks, lakes have the other shore. On the long journey of life, everything turns around. When we feel the lingering taste is bitter, please believe that everything will eventually turn sweet.]
[The refined content of this page: Sometimes we always want to be someone else, so much so that the unique thing hidden in our hearts, ignored for many years, the unique thing in the world called my exclusive—passion.]
[The refined content of this page: Return to zero, and re-examine yourself. Be unrestrained and joyful, dream to your heart's content. Although the world once said, there is nowhere to seek, only the heart of a youth. I don't believe it, let's set off together!]
"Drip-drop!"
Enoc Caven read softly.
The sound of water dripping suddenly rang out.
Enoc Caven followed the sound and discovered that Dragufil's eyes were actually filled with tears!
Just now it wasn't a water drop, but a tear falling.
"Just like back then, he still hasn't improved."
Enoc Caven slightly frowned. After tidying up, he left through the study's secret passage.
