I Keep Witches While Others Keep Dragons

321 Chapter 323

“Sorry, I can’t tell you.”

After thinking for a while, Mauser refused Andrew’s request.

He said:” Maybe your words were real, Stout entrusted you.

But he trusts you, which doesn’t mean that I can trust you, let alone the general and soldiers will trust you.

This secret is related to the safety of all of us. Once it is leaked, the Magic Association will kill us in a few days.”

Andrew didn’t say anything.

After all, he had never thought that Mauser would tell him such a secret so easily.

“What are you going to do with me next? Put me in jail or put me to death?” Andrew asked.

“Well…” Mauser thought for a while and glanced at the crowd.

The soldiers also had complicated expressions on their faces.

Someone was furious. He didn’t want to let Andrew go so easily.

Someone pursed their lips with difficulty as if they were doing strong psychological struggles.

After a long while, Mauser made a decision. “You can stay and be one of us.”

“What?” Andrew was stunned. “What do you mean?”

Mauser smiled and stretched out a finger._.

Andrew suddenly felt that the magic power in his body was back, but the rope was still tied around his neck.

“From now on, you are a member of us, but this is a necessary insurance measure.

I have removed the suppression of your magic power. If you want to escape, please feel free to resist. But the moment you betray us, the rope will break your neck.”

Andrew touched the rope subconsciously and smiled bitterly, “It’s so terrible. Is it the same as being captured?”

“If you prove that you are a comrade worthy of our trust, I will untie the rope. And I will tell you the way you want to hide from Red King.

But I have told you that you have to prove yourself.”

After saying that, Mauser said to a boy who was about the same age as Andrew, “Deputy platoon director Marin, from now on, you are his instructor.”

The young man named Marin immediately stood to attention and saluted, “Yes, great marshal Mauser!”

After saying that, the young man gave Andrew a ferocious look.

His eyes seemed to say, “Don’t expect to have a good life in the future.”.

Mauser then said to Mia, “Mia, from now on, you will be responsible for Andrew’s evaluation.

Whether he has proved himself and whether we trust him or not, it’s all up to you.”

Andrew got anxious when she heard this. “Hey, wait, is she…”

“The Magic Association has killed many of us. Everyone here wants to kill you.

As the murderer of Mia’s father, if you can’t even persuade Mia, you won’t be trusted by others.”

Mauser’s words left Andrew speechless.

Indeed, if Mauser gave the order, the whole rebel army would pounce on him and tear him into pieces, wouldn’t it?

Being able to stay was already a blessing in disguise.

But this was the hatred of killing her father.

Even if he had no choice, it was not easy for him to get Mia’s forgiveness.

Mia also stood to attention and saluted, “I promise to complete the task, marshal Mauser.”

“Good.”

Mauser nodded with satisfaction. Finally, he looked at Andrew and said, “Andrew, the crime of torturing and killing Mr. Stout is not spared, but suspended.

You need to prove that you are a trustworthy person and that the life Stout has sacrificed for you is worth it.

You are very powerful, at least stronger than most military officers, but that doesn’t mean you have privileges.

From now on, you are an ordinary second-class soldier of our party. Your mission is to abide by our military rules and regulations.

Every person with an epaulet different from you is your superior. You must obey their orders!

You can’t use your magic except for helping others understand?”

“Wait a minute.”

The sudden appointment caught Andrew by surprise. “What if someone wants to kill me?”

Mauser said, “Then move him with your sincerity.”

“I can’t resist?”

“Yes.”

“What are you talking about?”

Andrew couldn’t understand what he meant, so he said, “I’m not boasting, but I have seen all the way that my strength is strong in your rebellious army. Since you want me to prove my value, you should give me the corresponding identity and rights.

Only in this way can I maximize my value, right?”

Mauser didn’t get angry at Andrew’s words. Instead, he stepped forward and silently pressed the eagle badge on Andrew’s palm.

Mauser’s hands were so warm that Andrew couldn’t help but marvel at them.

Mauser said calmly:

“Andrew, maybe in the environment you live in, you are just a weak person, but there are only a group of ordinary people here who are not talented and just working hard.

You are right. Compared with us, you are undoubtedly the strongest at such a young age.”

Mauser paused and continued, “Then let me ask you, have you ever thought about why you have such power?

Or, why do you have such power?”

Andrew was stunned by Mauser’s question.

He had never thought about it.

Why am I so powerful and why should I continue to become stronger?

“Look, you don’t know.” Mauser smiled slightly and revealed the answer, “It’s to help the weak.”

“Help… The weak?” Andrew was confused.

Because this idea was completely different from the idea of a mage, which he had accepted since he was a child, the law of the jungle.

“I know you won’t be able to accept it immediately, but that’s exactly what you need to learn. What’s more, we can survive under the siege of the Magic Association.

Those with extraordinary talent needed to use their strength for this world and the weak.

Strength was a blessing from God.

Using the power granted by God to hurt others and make a profit was done by the Magic Association.

It was the duty and mission of the innate strength to protect the weak.”

Mauser said and patted Andrew on the shoulder.

This time, the smile on his face warmed Andrew’s heart. “Now you are just a strong mage, not a strong man.

And what I need to do is to teach you to be a real strong man.

When you understand and learn this lesson, I think not only Mia, but everyone present will forgive you, won’t they?

Only by learning this truth and becoming a real strong man, the death of Mr. Stout would be truly meaningful.”

Mauser didn’t go on talking to Andrew who was in a daze.

Then he turned to Marin and said, “Take him downstairs and put on his military uniform.”

“Yes, sir!”

Then Mauser swept the space ring and put all the materials into it.

At the same time, he glanced at Andrew.

Andrew’s equipment was taken in the ring.

Mauser then threw the ring to Mia.

Then he handed an empty ordinary space ring to Andrew and said, “Your material is confiscated temporarily. During this period, I’ll give it to you for storage.

If you prove yourself, the sky ring, and the materials and equipment inside, we will pay you back at all. But if you betray us or die halfway, these things will become our military expenses.

So, prove yourself and ask Mia to return the sky ring to you willingly.

This is your first class and the first order I give you as a superior.

See?”
