Isabelle and George couldn't help but be stunned when they saw who it was.
The female sorcerer had a weird look on her face. She asked George, "Did you … order bread for breakfast tomorrow?"
Isabelle asked because of the man's attire. He was wearing a tall chef's hat and a chef's apron around his waist. There was a long loaf of bread on the apron, and the white powder on his hair was obviously flour.
He looked like he just walked out of the bakery's kitchen.
In fact, Rob did just walk out of the kitchen. Lolo's behavior was a little strange these days, and the future supreme magus Your Honor had long noticed her abnormality. That night, when he caught a Black Serpent Golem near the girl's dormitory, Rob knew who was behind it. He also knew that the person was very cautious, and he was afraid that he wouldn't give himself away again.
Lolo wasn't the kind of noble girl who lived behind the high walls of the castle and knew nothing about the danger in front of her. After her father disappeared, she relied on her own strength to find the truth, and she grew a lot along the way. She knew very well what she was doing. Even the owner of the trap golem must have given her a reason to take the risk, so Rob didn't try to stop her.
But Archmage did do something to ensure her safety.
On New Year's Eve, Rob once gave Lolo a quill. It was a very rare defensive magic device that could automatically release a grade 5 defensive magic when the holder was in danger. However, the future supreme magus Your Honor was still a little worried. After all, the quill was a foreign object, and Lolo might not always carry it with her, so he secretly planted a magic on the girl.
Pain Connection was actually a forbidden magic that could forcibly link the pain of two unrelated living beings together. When one party was in pain, the feeling of pain would be transmitted to the other party's mind. When this magic first appeared, some evil mages liked to use it to torture their targets for fun.
Later, during the War of Roses, this magic was used as a means of interrogation. Due to the existence of the "Dawn Continent Prisoner of War Protection Convention", races could no longer torture their captives to extract information. Therefore, a mage who served in the military came up with the idea of using pain connection to replace the traditional torture method.
The biggest advantage of this method was that it could bring the maximum amount of pain to the interrogated while ensuring that the body of the interrogated wouldn't be harmed. This was tantamount to taking advantage of the loophole of the convention.
But there was no doubt that this method was extremely inhumane. When the pain reached a certain limit, the interrogated would even want to die on the spot. Some would even beg the interrogator to kill them.
There were a few methods commonly used by the military. For example, establishing a pain connection between the interrogated and a rat, then throwing the rat into an ice cellar or a steamer. The interrogated could clearly feel their body being swallowed by the cold, and even their blood being frozen. Or, being steamed alive, they could still smell the terrifying fragrance of their own flesh. But the most ruthless method was to establish a pain connection between the interrogated and extremely tenacious creatures like the Moebius cockroach. Even after being beheaded, the latter could still survive for nearly a quarter of an hour. This quarter of an hour was simply the most terrifying torture in the world to the interrogated.
Often, the interrogated would have a mental breakdown during the interrogation process, and when they were released after the war, they were already completely insane. Therefore, this magic had always been controversial. The priests in the church who provided treatment and psychological counseling for the wounded were the first to protest. The Temple also expressed its dissatisfaction to the Magic Association and the military. Even the Magic Association was divided on this matter.
In fact, by the end of the War of the Roses, this torture method had gradually been abolished. Until the end of the war, this magic was also completely banned by the Magic Association.
However, out of respect for magical knowledge and pure research purposes, although the Magician's Association had destroyed all books that recorded forbidden magic, they had set up a special room in the Central Library to store forbidden magic. With Luo Bu's authority, he could look up almost all forbidden magic in the Magician's Association's library.
In this aspect, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor was deeply influenced by Demain. The vice principal had always believed that there was no good or evil in magic itself. It was just a simple tool, but some tools were more dangerous. If these dangerous tools fell into the hands of the wrong people, they would often cause terrible consequences. Therefore, the Magic Association had no choice but to ban the spread of some magic. However, this did not mean that these types of magic were worthless. Many of the inventors of forbidden magic often had good intentions when they created this magic.
For example, the Pain Connection Spell was invented to use this spell to protect his little daughter who had just been born. The Archmage was rather eccentric. The father and daughter lived alone in the magic tower. He spent most of his time in the laboratory, so he let the golem take care of his daughter. However, the golem had no intelligence after all, and could only complete some basic instructions. Therefore, the Archmage invented the Pain Connection Spell to connect his daughter's pain with his own. If his daughter felt any discomfort, he would be able to feel it immediately.
The pain connection Luo Bu had placed on Luo Luo's body was slightly different from the original. It was a modified version. A Great Magician's pain connection was unidirectional. In other words, he could feel Luo Luo's pain, but his pain wouldn't be transmitted to the girl's body. At the same time, he could also use the pain connection to locate the existence of the other party. The purpose of Luo Bu's magic was to protect the girl.
As a result, not long after his small bakery closed, Archmage stayed in the kitchen and tried to bake a batch of apple pie. However, when he was mixing the flour and eggs together, he suddenly felt a pain on his neck.
Archmage reached out to touch the painful part and found no wound there. Rob's expression changed, and the next moment, he disappeared from the bakery.
Your Honor, the future Supreme Magus, turned on the Pain Connection Spell and no longer had any intention of hiding his strength. It only took him less than three minutes to cross half of the city and appear outside the secret stronghold of Gudilesi, where the heresy trial was held.
He did not even bother to change out of the clothes he wore when making bread, which made him look a little funny.
If he hadn't just seen a stone door shatter with his own eyes, George would definitely think that someone was playing a bad joke on him.
However, his intuition told him that it was not as funny as it seemed.
