"No matter what the reason, it's not possible! As an adult... I can't just watch a little girl go to her death without doing anything!"

Andre interrupted Christina's choking words, feeling that his tone was a bit harsh. He didn't know the little girl well, so he changed his approach to a more righteous one.

"Mr. Skull Wizard..."

Christina still shook her head vigorously, not convinced by Andre's words. Instead, she tried to persuade Andre.

"Just call me Andre."

Andre quickly interrupted, a linguistic trick he often used in the past. If you want to refuse a stubborn person's request, the best way is to keep interrupting when they want to speak... Of course, this method actually works better on people with easily distracted attention.

"Mr. Andre..."

The little girl obediently changed her address, continuing to express her reasons.

"You don't need to add the word 'sir', I'm not that old—"

Andre couldn't let the little girl finish, continuing to make light of the situation.

"Mr. Andre, you don't have to do this. Even if you don't agree, I must participate in this spell competition."

Although the little girl blushed before speaking, her character was obviously a bit shy, which Andre liked very much. But her character was exactly what Andre feared most - once she made up her mind, she would never change it!

Looking at the little girl's originally watery, but suddenly firm eyes after Andre's continuous interruptions, Andre gave up the idea of making trouble.

"Go ahead, give me a reason why you must go."

After staring at the little girl for a while, Andre asked.

"Mr. Andre, have you agreed?"

The clever little girl sensed Andre's change of attitude, her excited face blushing. Although she had a reason to participate in the competition, she would not want the possibility of success to be greater, right?

Christina originally even had the determination to die, but after summoning Andre, she felt that she might really succeed.

Because in Christina's eyes, the skull wizard Andre—

Is definitely a wise existence.

Christina really doesn't have a mentor, but in this place where if you knock down a wall and ten people die, at least one is a medium wizard, two are senior wizards, and the remaining seven are all magic apprentices, how could she not have a little magical knowledge?

Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

Although it is stipulated that ordinary people cannot spread any knowledge about necromancy, Christina's grandfather, who made a living by tomb robbing, the last time he robbed was an ancient necromancer's tomb!

According to that incomplete and ancient necromancer's scroll, Christina has reason to believe that the skull wizard she summoned should actually be a strong being from the necromancer's plane!

So—

The little girl is so respectful to Andre.

So—

The little girl is not surprised by Andre's clear consciousness.

"First tell me the reason..."

No matter what, Andre will not promise others first, and then be asked for something... Even if the little girl is staring at herself with a very pitiful look... Also... It's not possible!

In fact, looking at the little girl's pure and imploring eyes, how could Andre not be tempted... Oh, forget it, he doesn't have a heart part temporarily...

"This time's spell competition, the first prize will get a Axiomov storage ring, I have to get it."

The little girl finally said her wish.

"Wait... What does Axiomov's storage ring have to do with you?"

Andre knows Axiomov's storage ring. It was made by a genius magician named Axiomov in the later period of the main plane's war between gods and demons. At that time, he made about 100,000 Axiomov storage rings, which can be called the first person to make magic devices in the main plane.

This kind of storage ring created a change where the previous owner left conditions, and the new owner who met the conditions could open it, completely breaking the original way of storage rings that must be opened by dripping blood and storing spiritual marks. The storage ring that was originally only usable by magicians has become civilianized.

So, under the manipulation of the Magician's Guild, the production method was lost...

Thousands of years have passed, and the remaining quantity of Axiomov's storage rings has long been very few.

And the ring for this Boeing spell competition as a prize is closely related to the little girl Christina, it's her grandfather's!

Christina's unlucky grandfather's lifelong tomb robbing boutique is all in the ring. He originally planned to finish the last ticket, that is, rob the necromancer's tomb and then stop.

Unfortunately, the old man who was unlucky fell into the gutter, and was caught by the passing Earl of克莱姆, and the old man who refused to be captured was blasted into dregs by the fire mage who followed the Earl of克莱姆.

Only Christina, who was on the lookout, ran away...

Well, the following content Andre can imagine. Little Christina, who only took an ancient scroll, came to the Count of克莱姆's house and even succeeded in becoming a maid. She wanted to take the opportunity to retrieve her grandfather's Axiomov storage ring. Unexpectedly, the Count of克莱姆, who got the storage ring, casually gave the ring that he couldn't open to the Boeing School of Magic...

Then, the group of old madmen in the college also couldn't open it, so they simply took it out as the highest prize for the spell competition.

Now no one knows what an old tomb robber's storage ring will hide, but this doesn't prevent it from becoming the highest prize, because the value of Axiomov's ring itself is already very high, even if it can't be opened temporarily.

"Silly girl, don't you know to wait for someone to get the prize and then try to figure it out?"

Andre is puzzled. Since no one can open the ring, why are you in a hurry?

"It's like this, Mr. Andre. First, there are very important things in the ring. Secondly, in fact, that ring is a defective product. Every half a year, it will be invalid for three days, and anyone who wears it can open it..."

The little girl Tina quickly answered, after all, she is just a little girl. Knowing that the skeleton who has the symbiotic contract is unable to betray her, she answers everything, and even subconsciously has the possibility of taking the stronger Andre as the backbone of her own.

Andre calculated the time according to the little girl's words, and immediately scratched his head - the damn ring's invalid time just happened to be the day after the spell competition!

"Damn it -"

Andre muttered a word, and then continued to ask.

"What is in the ring that makes you have to get it back?"

The little girl hesitated for a while, and then blurted out two words -

"Artifact..."
