    The meeting ended in a quite pleasant atmosphere. Sebastian and Philby exchanged gifts. After making an appointment to have more exchanges in the future, the young magician took the incoming train with the latter's gift.  The carriage returned to his residence.

    Philby waited until the carriage disappeared from sight, then withdrew his gaze and let out a long sigh.

    "Teacher, that person is the purpose of our trip? He is really young and a bit outrageous" At some point, his apprentice Cavo was already standing behind him, also looking at the distant carriage, with emotion.  said.  Then he turned to the thoughtful Philby, lowered his head and asked curiously, "You seemed to be having quite a pleasant conversation with him?"

    "I saw a genius. A true genius, there is no doubt about it! Even I have not recalled what jealousy feels like for a long time." Philby closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly  He smiled knowingly, "However, this may or may not be another opportunity for the family."

    "You mean," Cavor asked excitedly, "that his identity has been confirmed? It is indeed His Highness Tom?"

    Philby¡¯s right hand took out the wide cuff of the mage¡¯s robe, and his somewhat dry fingers tightly held a fist-sized crystal ball. In the center of the transparent ball, bright red blood could be faintly seen.  A faint red light emanates from the inside of the crystal ball and is dissipating bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye.

    "The reaction of the bloodline detection ball is clear at a glance. There is no doubt that he is indeed a direct descendant of the family. What's more," Magic Philby put away the crystal ball with a flip of his hand and shook his head helplessly, "His appearance and  Little Brummel was so similar when he was young, it's unmistakable. Although I probably shouldn't say this, it's really lucky that he didn't inherit his father's bad habit of spending time and drinking. Otherwise, even if he had another  Good talents are just a waste of resources."

    Cavor was speechless.  He is no longer the ignorant young man in a remote mountain village, in fact.  No matter who he has experienced over the years.  I'm afraid they can quickly create a mature man.

    "So, what are you going to do next?" After pondering for a while, Cavor said softly, "Are you looking for an opportunity to invite His Highness to return to the family? According to the information obtained from the intelligence, his previous life in the royal city was really not good.  How about it. Like His Highness Tom No, I think it is more appropriate to call him His Excellency Sebastian as His Highness wishes. Geniuses like them. Aren't they all very proud? I really doubt it  His Highness would be willing to easily forgive a father who was so indifferent to him."

    "That's why I said that boy Brummel is just a loser waiting to die! My God, if I had known that he would be like this when he grew up, I should have strangled him to death when he was born.  ." Magician Philby replied angrily, "Conducting a talent test for every direct descendant of the family is the most basic procedure. I really can't believe that idiot can miss such a rare person.  Magic genius! He is simply the sinner of the family."

    "His Royal Highness Brummel doesn't think so" Cavor scratched his scalp helplessly, "No matter how dissatisfied you are with him. He is Lord Maven's only son, that is to say, the only legal heir  ¡­¡±

    "Don't mention him again." Philby waved his hand in disgust, shooing away invisible flies in the sky. "If he continues to live and die intoxicated like this, I have no doubt that Lord Mervin can live longer than his own son.  For a longer period of time, you don¡¯t have to worry about the issue of heirs.¡±

    "Teacher, be careful what you sayplease be careful what you say" Cavor nervously discouraged.  I don't know when my back was wet with sweat.

    "Coward. Do you think someone can overhear us without my knowledge?" Philby glared at his young apprentice, turned and walked towards the villa.

    "Teacher. Teacher, where is Your Highness?" Kaivo hurriedly followed.

    "Take your time, let's observe for a while." Philby thought for a moment, then smiled at his apprentice, "Do you think he knows nothing about our purpose? Hmph, I see.  That kid has probably guessed it a long time ago. His current leisurely attitude is just waiting for a price. However, Lord Maven has not yet made a final decision. I can't decide what level of protection should be used.  It¡¯s appropriate to pay the price to win him over.¡±

    "Don't magicians all need a lot of funds and materials for research? I don't believe he doesn't lack these." Cavor curled his lips and said bitterly, "Although the brandy that his vassal Wamborn family recently obtained  The business indeed made a lot of money, but the young Miss Isabel suddenly had the idea to build a city for some reason, and the income was probably not enough to cover the expenses."

    ?"Silly boy, you have to remember," Philby stopped, stared into his young apprentice's eyes, and said seriously, "Indeed, ninety-nine percent of people in this world cannot escape money, power, and beauty.  Even spellcasters like us cannot avoid temptations. However, for real mages, those who truly pursue the true meaning of arcana and the truth of the world, these temptations are just a burden in disguise.  If you don't see that through, you'll never get there."

    "You meanthat His Highnessis that kind of person?" Although he didn't quite understand the meaning behind his teacher's words, it didn't stop Cavor from thinking of the young man who had left not long ago.  It was hard for him to imagine how a young man like that could see through everything and pursue the so-called truth.

    However, what surprised Cavor was that after hearing his question, Philby was slightly dazed and did not answer for a moment.

    "No, I don't know either." After a long time, the magician shook his head hesitantly, as if to get rid of the doubts in his mind, "I can't see through him."

    "How is this possible" Cavor, who knew his teacher's ability well, couldn't help but be speechless.

    "Perhaps the so-called geniuses are really a group of monsters born with knowledge!" Philby laughed at himself and walked towards the study.

    Under the skillful control of the driver, the carriage drove steadily on the marble-paved driveway.  In the carriage, Sebastian squinted his eyes and frowned slightly, seeming to be deep in thought.

    Just now, when he had a pleasant conversation with the enthusiastic Philby magician, he had secretly used several detecting psychic powers without any trace of psychological burden on the young man.

    The real world is so realistic. As long as it is not discovered, it has never happened.

    ¡°Compared with arcane spells that require language and movement components, the psychic abilities inspired by thoughts are extremely concealed, and as expected they were not noticed by the other party.

    The ability to measure the opponent's strength gave Sebastian the answer he expected. The Philby magician's strength is roughly at the level of a magician. That is to say, with his mentor Jager and the sorceress  Sylvia is roughly the same.  Although this is only a rough estimate, in real battles, luck also plays a large factor in winning, and there is no absolute conclusion.  This level of prediction is enough to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.

    What¡¯s interesting is that when Sebastian tried to read Philby¡¯s surface thoughts, the thinking tentacles emanating from him seemed to be stuck in layers of quagmire, completely impenetrable.  This feeling is not like encountering resistance from the spell, but rather like coming into contact with an inanimate dead object.  But this is obviously impossible, because the other person is undoubtedly talking passionately.

    Inevitably, a taboo word flashed through Sebastian's mind, a word that is the most evil and evil even among magicians who do not stick to the distinction between good and evil.
