"O Age of the Gods...... It's too far away. I'm only a Level 3 apprentice, how can I possibly know?"

Salchi smiled self-deprecatingly, gently rubbed his magic wand, and was silent for a while before continuing: "Ancient wizards, all wearing pointed hats that symbolize wisdom, each of them has their own magic wand in their hands, and the duel between two powerful wizards is often extremely exciting, because no one can predict what wonderful spells they will cast, and I don't know how they will deal with it.

"Because ancient wizards relied on strong spiritual power to directly complete the spell model, the magic wand is a tool that exists for this purpose, and the magic wand also has an amplitude effect, and it is difficult for ordinary wizards to construct a spell model out of thin air.

Mei Lin frowned and said, "In this way, the current wizards are not as good as the ancient wizards?"

The expression on Salqi's face immediately became very strange, he was stunned and thought about it again, shook his head and said: "You can't say that, it's a good comparison, ancient wizards are equivalent to artists, they only need a piece of bamboo, a ball of clay, they can create vivid works, and today's wizards are technicians in factories, we are good at combining all kinds of parts, but the things we make are absolutely practical." ”

"It's hard to say that an artist is necessarily better than a technician, but one thing is for sure: it takes much longer to train an artist than it does to train a technician, and it takes an artist to create a work of art much longer than it does for a technician to make something. If you want to really know something about the wizarding world, you can borrow some books about the history of the wizarding world, and if you have the heart, you can learn a lot from them. ”

Although Salchi said this, he did not think that Merlin could understand what he meant, because even some official wizards had not discovered the mystery, and the young people of today were far more obsessed with strength than with history. History narrates the course of the predecessors, and the successes and failures of the predecessors summarized by the later generations.

......

Merlin's mind was in a trance as she came out of Salchi, and she had been pondering what the old wizard apprentice had said to her, the most profound guidance she had ever received since she came into contact with the wizarding world.

Although there is no substance, Merlin is not for nothing, at least she knows that the strength of mental power has a great impact on the speed of spell casting, that spell models can not only be built in the sea of knowledge, and that the reason why ancient wizards are powerful.

Coming out of Salchi's small building, Merlin soon noticed that someone was following her, and she originally wanted to turn into an alley and knock the stalker unconscious, but after feeling that the other party's strength was not strong and there was no strong killing intent, she gave up the idea and focused on analyzing the reason why the other party was following her.

Today is to visit the wizard for a while, so Merlin changed into a formal wizard's robe, but the only enemy she offended was the Phila family, and the other party couldn't lock herself so quickly, so the problem should have arisen when she entered Manshu City...... Chrissy didn't need to do this, Boredo might be concerned about himself, but with his treacherous treachery, there was no need to take such a move, and it would only be Cliff in the end.

Glancing at the stalker behind her, Merlin remembered that there was a nearby place where she could get rid of the tracker, and no matter how bold the tracker was, there was no way to get into that place.

It was a semi-open-air shopping mall, the mall occupied the entire block, surrounded by a circle of four- or five-story buildings, most of the first to third floors were opened up as shops, and in the middle of the block was an open-air plaza with all kinds of stalls, open-air restaurants, and performance stages.

But Merlin's target wasn't the commercial establishments, and through a corridor, Merlin quickly flashed into the nearby shops, which had small doors to connect with each other, and Merlin passed through one shop after another, and finally entered an antique shop.

This place was told to her by Salqi, and every once in a while, an auction would be held here, and today there happened to be such a high-end event in the city, and ordinary people could not get invitations at all.

Although Merlin had already arrived downstairs, she was still hesitating...... Is it necessary to participate in such a boring auction for playing that stalker?

Suddenly, an inexplicable stun struck me...... Did the nebula discover something again?

Merlin immediately looked around, but found nothing to attract attention...... She tried to take a few steps in the direction of the door, and her mind was inexplicably dizzy.

This time, the feeling was much clearer than just now, and Merlin caught the feeling and looked for it more carefully. The dizziness that became clearer and clearer, as if to guide her in the direction, Merlin unconsciously walked towards the second floor.

But just as she stepped onto the staircase, a young man came up and stopped, "I'm sorry, my lord, but there's an auction going on upstairs." ”

Although he looked a little uneasy when facing the wizard, the existence behind him was obviously more terrifying than that of the wizard, which made him stand resolutely in front of Merlin.

Merlin smiled faintly and took out a gold badge...... This is a token that Salch gave her to participate in the auction.

This is a very ordinary gold badge, the surface of the badge is a pattern of a scale, and in the center of the scale, a large pigeon's blood ruby with a grain of rice is inlaid.

As soon as he saw the ring, the young man who had just stopped at the top of the stairs immediately respectfully moved out of the way, and not only that, but his expression was extremely cautious. The guy who was following Merlin at the door of the store, obviously knowing what this place was, hesitated for a while, and then shrank away.

Walking upstairs, the upstairs seemed to be chaotic, and the auction should not have started yet, because it was a small membership auction, so there were not many people present.

But everyone here is well-dressed, and they all obviously have status in Manshu City. But when Merlin walked up, her eyes were a little solemn...... For ordinary people, even a wizard apprentice is enough for them to look up to, just like the Kaeya family, although the family is only a third-level wizard apprentice, it has already made the family's industry develop steadily.

This kind of small membership auction, most of the people present are familiar with each other, and the atmosphere is not as solemn as a large auction, those bigwigs sit on a wide sofa in twos and threes, surrounded by male and female waiters, the handsome men and the beautiful women, whether it is temperament or appearance, they are all one in a hundred. Although Merlin attracted a lot of attention when she first came up, she seemed to be too young to attract the special attention of those big names.
