“Cut my miracle, cut my miracle…”

Igura paced back and forth in the room, unconsciously biting his nails, unable to help but ask, “Are you really confident that you can perform a miracle without using artificing?”

“I’m not sure.” Asho said calmly, “And besides, I can’t use it now. I still need a crucial artificing spirit to perform the ‘Cut my Miracle’.”

“Then how…”

“I said, I have a secret way to obtain artificing spirits. I don’t know when I will find that crucial artificing spirit, but it’s just a matter of time.”

Igura opened his mouth, but then closed it again.

Asho didn’t say anything, so Igura naturally couldn’t guess what the so-called ‘secret way’ was. But he didn’t have much doubt about the truth of the matter.

Because of the Libra artificing spirit.

If Asho had the Libra artificing spirit a few days ago, he wouldn’t have been unilaterally bound by Igura’s contract artificing spirit.

Although it was also possible that Asho was intentionally pretending to be weak, but that time was when Igura actively provoked him. How could Asho set a trap against Igura?

Instead of believing in this conspiracy theory that only existed in probability, Igura preferred to believe in the possibility that Asho had shown.

It wasn’t because Igura was naive and optimistic, but because Asho had personally performed miracles.

In the fight against Igura, he went from a rookie who couldn’t even fight to a skilled boxer in a matter of minutes.

In the fight against Wakas, he went from a rookie who couldn’t even hold a sword to a master swordsman in a matter of minutes.

In the Blood Moon Judgment, he wasn’t afraid of the burning flames of purification, even though he was the most sinful criminal.

In addition to the sudden appearance of the Libra artificing spirit, Igura felt that he had no reason to doubt Asho. Even if the so-called ‘secret way’ that Asho mentioned was almost impossible under the supervision of the prison, miracles were the most common inevitability in this world of artificers.

Moreover, Asho Heath was the leader of the Four Pillar God Heresy…

Igura’s expression changed, he gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, “Let’s do it!”

“But we can’t escape from prison with just the two of us, I need to recruit a few more people.”

“Of course.” Asho smiled, “The reason I came to you first is because you must know the information about other criminals. After all, I’m not familiar with this place and I need a cunning ‘local’ to help me build a team.”

“Thank you for the compliment. As a trickster, information is my weapon.” Igura bowed elegantly.

“Then who should we look for?”

“I already have a preliminary plan. With the condition that you can use ‘Cut my Miracle’ to remove the chip restriction, we need three types of people: a vanguard responsible for assault, a destroyer responsible for continuous output, and a logistics support responsible for fast movement and healing.”

“They all sound like special professionals with high professional requirements. Can we find them?”

“Are you joking?” Igura laughed.

“Thugs, murderers, black market smugglers, these three types of people are everywhere in the Broken Lake Prison, aren’t they?”

…

…

In the Starry Kingdom, Garlean.

Ingurite curiously watched the scenery outside the villa area, Adair excitedly touched the decorative leather inside the car, and Lois felt embarrassed and quickly held Adair’s hand, finding something to say, “Thank you, Felix, for inviting us to the tea party.”

“No need to thank me.” Felix, who was driving, had a gloomy expression, “It was Sonia’s strong request to bring her roommate, so I invited you… If you want to thank someone, thank her.”

He said it very impolitely, and it was obvious that Felix was in a bad mood now, unable to maintain even basic noble etiquette, which scared Adair from touching anything randomly.

Lois wasn’t interested in continuing to touch the mold, and secretly observed Sonia, who was sitting in the passenger seat, wondering what their relationship was.

At noon today, Sonia suddenly approached them and said that Felix wanted to invite them to the villa for a tea party.

Tea parties were common student activities, and the basic form was several students eating snacks and drinking tea in a scenic place, while gossiping and spreading rumors. Many campus rumors started from tea parties.

Lois had naturally attended many tea parties, and she had even held a tea party specifically to talk bad about Sonia. If it wasn’t for slander, the tea party would be worthless.

So she was curious why Sonia wanted to invite her to a tea party. From the nature of the tea party, it was clear that this was a private circle for spreading rumors among like-minded people. Lois didn’t think that her relationship with Sonia had reached the level where they could talk bad about others behind their backs together.

Even if Sonia wanted to invite friends to the tea party, she had been getting close to Ingurite these days, so inviting her would be enough. Why did she have to bring Lois and Adair along?In addition, considering that this tea party is hosted by Felix, and thinking about the despicable rumors about this playboy, Lois instinctively thinks of the worst for Sonia. Keywords such as “noble young master,” “basement,” “imprisoned girl,” “abuse,” and “slave” flood her mind.

However, before Lois can refuse, Sonia suggests that they inform their parents that they are going to attend Felix’s tea party. If anything happens, it must be the mischief of the second young master of Duke Fusoya…

This caring suggestion leaves Lois puzzled, but Ingurite sees through it and asks if Sonia needs them as witnesses. Sonia doesn’t say it explicitly, but she guarantees that if they come to the tea party, there will be benefits.

And these benefits are related to sorcerers.

But if Felix has ill intentions, they will be in trouble. That’s why Sonia asks them to inform their parents about their whereabouts.

The more Lois listens, the more it sounds like a bait to lure ignorant girls. If it were someone else, Lois would definitely refuse. But the other party is Felix and Sonia, and they remind them to inform their parents. Plus, Lois hopes to buy the Torrent Sorcery Spirit from Sonia, so she can’t offend her too much.

Most importantly, Ingurite agrees.

In her words, “In the world of sorcerers, adventure means progress, caution means retreat. If we dare not take even this risk, then I might as well go back to my hometown and get married.”

Perhaps it is the girl’s yearning for adventure, or perhaps it is the subtle hints of matchmaking from her parents when she went home last time, or maybe she simply doesn’t want to show weakness in front of the person she dislikes the most. In the end, Lois agrees to the tea party invitation.

As Lois’s follower, Adair doesn’t think much and follows along.

However, after getting on the car, Lois gradually relaxes. Not only because many students saw them getting into Felix’s silver carriage, but also because the carriage is heading towards Garlean’s villa area, with surveillance eyes along the way. The villa area is the core area of Garlean and it is impossible for anyone to commit a crime here.

The silver carriage enters a luxurious villa, and Adair looks around after getting off the car. “Where are the servants?”

“There are no servants,” Felix says indifferently. “Only when I’m not at the villa, will I hire housekeeping staff to maintain it. At other times, there is no one here.”

Adair asks foolishly, “No servants, then how will the tea party be held? Should we make tea and snacks ourselves?”

Lois’s face shows embarrassment, and she pulls her little follower aside to explain the situation to her.

Felix walks ahead and leads them into the villa hall. Then, in the disdainful eyes of everyone, he summons a single-winged, scantily clad beautiful girl sorcery spirit.

As if triggering something, the fireplace suddenly opens, revealing a deep spiral secret passage leading underground.

Sonia complains, “Do you have to make it so eerie and scary? Do you usually have hobbies like kidnapping girls, murder, dissecting corpses, and skinning?”

“Secrets are always associated with fear, darkness, and murder. It’s not that secrets are naturally like this, but because secrets are too weak, they need to protect themselves by making a show of it,” Felix says impatiently. “Do you want me to change the location to the school cafeteria?”

“If it’s the school cafeteria at 12 o’clock at night, it might still meet your requirements.”

Sonia mutters and follows Felix into the spiral passage, while Ingurite takes out a wooden sword from her sword bag and follows closely behind. Lois and Adair exchange glances, hold each other tightly, and nervously follow at the back.

Lois is starting to regret it.

Not because she is afraid of being harmed, she even believes that she will gain benefits. But all gifts come with a price, and as a cost, she senses that she will be bound to Sonia and Felix, becoming a community of shared interests.

She suddenly recalls a sentence her merchant father once told her:

“Interests are the most stable relationships, secrets are the most solid constraints, and accomplices are the most innocent friends.”

After about thirty seconds, they arrive at an underground training room.

What is shocking is that the lighting system here is not the common gas incandescent lamp, but the “Daystar” tool spirit, which illuminates the spacious underground room as bright as day – it should be noted that even the training hall of Swordflower University is illuminated at night with only one “Daystar”. From the details, it can be seen that Felix is extravagant.

Upon arriving here, Felix seems to have relieved himself of burdens and masks. He opens a corner freezer and takes out a bottle of wine, blowing on the bottle with a displeased face, and says, “I have fulfilled my promise and satisfied your requirements. Now, you can handle the rest yourself.”

Ingurite stands at the staircase, raising her hand to stop the two behind her, and asks Sonia, “Can you explain now?””No problem.” Sonia smiled, “In simple terms, it’s like this—”

“Felix has a treasure and wants to split it fifty-fifty with me. But how could I forget my dear roommates when such a good thing happens? So, I brought you all here to share this treasure.”
