“......”

Merlin found that she was running out of words, and I have to say that in terms of force, Canaan at this time couldn't even beat Merlin when she was a magic apprentice, but when it comes to the ability to argue, ...... Anyway, she's a little out of words now.

"Teacher, you say that there is nothing more precious than life in this world, but why is it that in the wilderness, human life is like grass mustard? In the city, mortals are as humble as dogs?"

"Teacher, you said that the most precious thing in this world is life, but why are people like grass in the wasteland, and mortals are as humble as dogs in the city?"

"Well, life is of course the most precious, but at a particular time, in a particular place, and in a particular circumstance, it is not the most important ......"

"Teacher, hard work may not be rewarded! Efforts may not be fruitful! Besides, how can one person decide the life and death of another person? Even if he is richer, more powerful, and a mage?"

"This is the law of survival, just like if you want to eat meat, why do you have to decide the life and death of your prey? Hard work and effort may not be rewarded, but if you don't work hard or pay, the chance of getting rewards will be infinitely close to zero......"

"No, a lot of high-ranking people, rich people, mages...... They don't even have to give, they don't have to work hard, they can get it, except for the teachers, I don't see where the so-called equal respect is!"

“......”

"Teacher, why is it that the more I learn and the more I know, the more confused I become? I don't know what to do, what I can do, and even what I want to do? ”

"Having enough to eat is the most basic human need. ”

"Sometimes, there is nothing wrong with working hard just to survive, but do people have to find the meaning of survival in each other's calculations and gladiatorial battles?"

"Your question...... Canaan, why do you have so many questions today?"

"Teacher, why don't you get married?"

“......”

"Do all mages live lonely all their lives, and why do other mages have so many wives and children?

“......”

"Teacher, are you immortal? Because you are immortal, you can't find a partner who can live the same forever, right?"

“......”

"Teacher, why did you take me as a student? It doesn't make sense at all, I don't have the talent of a mage, I'm stupid, I have a lot of burdens, and I don't have a family background...... Why?"

“......”

Mei Lin retreated, and she found that it was good to teach this guy to practice martial arts, and letting him learn all kinds of knowledge was simply a kind of torture for herself. Maybe she should have put him in the middle of a child of the same age and let him accept the simple pleasures that those children should have, but now, it seems a little late? The more confused the child became, the more he wanted to find the answer from the book, and he never tired of it.

No, you need to leave Canaan City, find a stable, safe, and place that you can take care of at any time, don't have too many mages, mortals can play more freely, you want to be prosperous, and Canaan is willing to take the initiative to go out......

Merlin's decision to move again was unanimously rejected by the family, not only Canaan, but also her brother, brother, sister, and aunt.

Piva wanted to learn how to take revenge and become the greatest warrior in the wilderness, a goal that seemed incomparably small to the mage but a dream that the child never wavered, Canaan's aunt did not want to go too far from the wilderness, where all her relatives, ancestors, and husband were buried, and the third and fourth could not do without their mother.

Canaan's thinking was that if he couldn't figure out the whys, he wouldn't leave here because it didn't make sense, and it didn't make sense here, and it was the same everywhere else...... Merlin had originally wanted to produce a good knight, but now it seems that this student is drifting in the direction of a scholar.

Merlin's plan, in front of this mortal family, hit her head and bleed,

She thought about it all day, and finally realized what she was wrong, it was not that she had no experience with students, nor that she could not leave the wilderness...... Her problem is that even a mage with the ability to kill mortals is impossible for you to control the minds of even one mortal, let alone several!

The ultimate meaning of life is that there is a free mind, which God cannot do!

Knowing what was wrong, Merlin immediately changed her strategy, she taught a student, not a pet, she couldn't imprison his actions, just like she couldn't imprison his thoughts, even if there was danger outside, he had the right to fly alone, the right to choose.

After thinking about it for a few days, Merlin found an old and down-aged first-class wandering mage through the housekeeper, this wandering mage has not had many days, and he is cowardly by nature, and he does not like to compete with others, I really don't know how he entered the wizard world, but these situations are quite in line with Merlin's requirements. 、

Merlin made a deal with him, giving his descendants enough resources to use for one of his gifted grandsons to advance to the rank of full-fledged mage. And what the wandering mage had to pay for his freedom and loyalty—to protect the Canaan family for the rest of his life.

If the old wandering mage wants to take refuge in those families or mage organizations, he can't sell that identity at all, and relatively speaking, protecting a mortal is more than enough to face the dangers that may arise in the mortal world in the future.

And for Merlin, this was already the most meaningful thing she had done for the students she had accepted, and the cultivation resources of a full-fledged mage were not a problem for her at all, and she could concentrate on finding her way home.

"Teacher, will you come back to see Canaan?" Canaan has grown up and become very sensitive, especially since he has read a lot of books and understands many things that adults don't understand, and the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, which is good.

"Of course, Teacher, I'm not leaving you, I'm just going out to run errands, maybe half a year or a year, maybe three years or five years, but the teacher will definitely come back to see you, no matter where you go in the future!"

"When I grow up, can I do what I love?"

"Yes, this is your freedom, no one can do it, not even the teacher! I have only one condition, you must treat Grandpa Marian as your own family, and never let him leave your side!"

Canaan nodded, "I know, the teacher is worried about my safety, right? In fact, with my current strength, as long as I don't provoke the mage, it will be difficult for others to hurt me, right?"

Mei Lin looked at him with emotion, now, it was really difficult for him to deceive this clever boy again.

He did grow up.
