Meanwhile, in an unattended corner of the bar, a dark-haired young man with gold-rimmed glasses and a white coat who exuded the air of being unapproachable sat alone, with only a glass of whiskey, a piece of white bread and two neatly sliced bacon on the table in front of him, apparently enjoying his breakfast. www.biquge.info After hearing what the bearded mercenary said, he put down the knife and fork in his hand, raised his head and glanced at him, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "Even the sixth-order demonic beasts have begun to appear in groups, and things are becoming more and more interesting, it seems that leaving that place in time is really the right choice, otherwise, there is really a possibility of running into some trouble!" ”

After frowning and thinking about it for a moment, he took his glass and drank the rest of the wine, stood up, took out a gold coin from his bosom, and with a slight staggering of his thumb and forefinger, the gold coin tumbled and flew to the bar, making a crisp sound peculiar to gold coins, dripping and spinning. "No need to look for it." Turn and walk towards the door.

"Thank you, thank you, you go slowly, you go slowly!" Stop? Boss Beckman suddenly said with a smile, a gold coin is a lot of money for him, enough to be worth half a month's income, and this gold coin is enough for an ordinary family of three in the town to live a worry-free year.

The black-haired young man dressed in white with gold-rimmed glasses suddenly stopped when he was about to pass by the seat where Kretzer was, the expression of surprise flashed on his face, and he looked at Kretzer deeply: "Huh! It's you! I didn't expect to meet you in this little place, and you're still alive, Kreizer Sherlock! ”

"I'm also curious why I'm still alive!" Kratzer glanced up at the black-haired young man standing next to him, took a sip of barley wine, and his words revealed bitterness.

"I didn't expect you to survive the magic that is known as the strongest backlash, and I was really surprised! Hehe, I know, I see, I guess your safe and sound old man has known for a long time, but I thought I had lost an opponent worthy of care for a long time! The young man, who exuded an aura of being uninhibited, gently tapped Kraser's desktop with his index finger, he frowned and looked at the decadent Kraser, and continued, "However, your situation seems to be very bad! ”

"It's a great blessing to survive, what more can I pray for?" After drinking the remaining half of the wine, Krazer looked helplessly at the visitor.

"I still regard you as a lifelong opponent, I didn't expect that there would be such an ending between you and me, and the old man treated you as the last student, and it turned out that he was also wrong." After that, the young man with gold-rimmed glasses raised his head and looked at the dark ceiling for a long time without speaking. It wasn't until the group of mercenaries quarreled again that he tapped his finger on the table again. "It's already happened, and it's useless to regret it. I'll give you another piece of advice before I go! Something very unusual is happening in the Death Swamp to the west, and since you live here, I think you know how to do it! ”

After that, the black-haired young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and exuding the smell of being a living person left the bar without looking back.

Under the sun, he stopped for a long time at the stone monument on the east side of the town before he walked lonely and disappeared into the woods outside the town. Crèzer did not hear the last words he had uttered, and he was still immersed in his own resentment, oblivious to the man's departure, and by the time he found it, the young man had disappeared without a trace. And the group of mercenaries with loud voices were still discussing the topic with great interest.

"Then how did you come back alive!" The one-eyed dragon was the first to reflect and asked.

The bearded man said proudly: "The three swamp pythons jumped out just in time to see the Hydra mercenary group packing up the spoils, do you think they can still take care of us!" Rushed directly towards the Hydra mercenary group. That's how we got away. ”

"And what about later? Say it! After hearing this, the people around suddenly realized.

"You said later, I don't know! It's nice to be able to pick up a life under the nose of a swamp python with six heads, and you still want me to watch them finish! The bearded man said disdainfully.

"After we escaped from the Swamp of Confusion, there was already a dance of magic in the sky, and the explosion was deafening, and I will never forget that scene in my life." The bearded man said with palpitations.

"The Hydra mercenary group has to suffer heavy losses!" Everyone couldn't help but ask curiously, this kind of powerful mercenary group was the focus of their attention.

"You ask, are there heavy losses? I really don't know about this, but when I was fleeing the battlefield, I saw a few people flying in the sky from a distance, and I guess it must be a strong person like a battle captain! After the bearded mercenary had finished telling his interesting story, he touched the beard on his chin again, and deliberately talked about another thing he knew, hoping to drink another good drink from the one-eyed mercenary. In contrast, the other news is not as shocking as this, a year ago, a genius young man who was proficient in the four systems of magic in the imperial capital had an accident when he participated in the magic competition, and it seemed that he could no longer enter the door of magic, and it was said that the young man disappeared before the game ended. ”

"There are geniuses every year, it's just to see if you can go to the end, every day there are people who are attacked for excessive practice of magic, this is big news. I used to be a genius! Aren't you still like you now? The one-eyed dragon mercenary was obviously not so gullible to be fooled, and he said with a slight sour sarcasm in his tone.

"You're a genius at drinking! Ha! Ha! Hah!" The crowd around laughed mercilessly.

After listening to Kreze, who had just sorted out his lost mood, he was immediately attracted by this topic, in his impression, the magician who can fly in the sky should at least be a strong person at the level of a legendary archmage, with such a strong person, the loss should not be very large, and there is more than one person flying in the sky. Krazer put down his glass, picked up the quest spellbook used by the mercenary guild to issue it, flipped it casually a few times, and then put it aside, after meeting the familiar young man, he was not in the mood to take on a task.

Hugh standing at the bar at this time? Boss Beckman wiped his wine glass and sighed: "Why are there rumors of high-level demonic beasts lately, when did high-level demonic beasts become so easy to see." A few days ago, there was also news that some mercenary group had encountered unknown high-level demonic beasts in the depths of the Confused Swamp! ”

"By the way, boy Krezer, old Jack, who lives on the western hillside, has told you to have time to go, saying that there is something to trouble you. Let me think about it, look at my memory, it's not good to be old. By the way, I remembered that the old hen that laid golden eggs in his house had found something, and I wanted you, the magician, to help identify what it was. ”

"Oh my God! I knew it was about the old hen again! I've had enough! If he doesn't teach me how to make wine this time, I'll eat his old hen! Kratzer stroked his forehead and wailed a little helplessly.

"Speaking of which, although Old Jack's temper is eccentric, his winemaking skills are really good, and the taste of that wine is really unique, which makes people have endless memories. If you can learn a good craft, your old fellow won't be yelling at me for not having enough wine here. "Hugh? Boss Beckman put down the clear and translucent wine glass that had been wiped in his hand, and he also looked interested. "I'm going to have one more signboard here."

"Old Jack's winemaking method is not so easy to learn, I'd better go back when I have time! I don't have a suitable assignment today, so I'll go back to the academy to teach. Krezer stood up and headed for the door. If you don't go now, these little ones won't be able to wait. ”

"Don't forget to teach my little Lena well." Looking at Kreeser who was about to leave, Hugh? Boss Beckman couldn't help but tell him again, after all, how lucky it is for the children of the town to have a magician to teach.

"Got it! Got it! Rest assured. Kratzer waved his hand and walked out of the door of the bar without looking back, and the mercenaries in the bar were still discussing the emergence of high-level magical beasts on the edge of the Confusing Swamp, because it was a matter of their livelihood.

Krazer returned home, changed into a magic robe, and walked towards the Academy of Magic, located in the center of the town, with the sun hanging in the air above his head.

Unlike the coolness of the early morning, the afternoon sun in the town is so hot, scorching the earth all the time, and even the cries of cicadas on the big trees in front of the academy sound so weak. Krazer glanced up at the sun hanging in the sky and cursed in a low voice, then straightened his mage robe and walked into the magic academy with his magic wand.

It was not so much a magic academy as a spacious bungalow and a large courtyard, and in the corner of the courtyard sat a white-haired old man on a chair, who was now half-asleep looking at the children playing in the clearing, and the children who were playing games gathered around him as if they had seen Frazer come in like chicks had seen an old hen.

"Professor Sherlock, Professor Sherlock, you haven't been in class for a long time, are we too naughty and don't like us!" The children asked in a chattering voice.

"How so! The more naughty the child, the smarter the child! Krazer replied with a smile, obviously he liked the children around him.

"Uncle Krazier, I will listen to you, I won't be naughty anymore, I will definitely listen carefully to your magic lessons in the future." A little girl who looked like a doll threw herself to Kraser's side with a crying voice, her long brown hair draped over her shoulders like a waterfall, and a pair of big blue eyes with long eyelashes flickering and looking very cute.

"Yo, yo, yo, my lovely little Princess Lena, what's wrong, who made you angry! Tell Uncle Kraser, who must smash his ass. Krazer picked up the little girl and scratched her wrinkled nose gently. The little girl he was holding was Hugh? Beckman's youngest granddaughter was also the most gifted in magic among the dozen or so children, and as elsewhere, children who studied well always received some attention from their teachers, so Kreizer was particularly kind to her.

"Are you here to teach us today? Why don't you leave today? Little Lena asked with a sob, but there was not a single tear in her big smart eyes.

"Of course, I'm here today to explain new magical knowledge, and I won't leave if I don't teach you all today." Kratzer scratched little Lena's face with his fingers. That's what made little Lena burst into tears.

Surrounded by the children, Krazer greeted the old man and walked into the classroom with Lena in his arms.

"Today, I'm going to talk to you about the classification of magicians and the evaluation of magical skills." Kratzer tapped on the blackboard and looked at the little ones in front of him who were quickly in their place, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "But before I get into the new knowledge, I hope someone can briefly recite the history of the development of magic in the continent that I talked about a few days ago."

"I know!"

"I know it too!"

"Professor Sherlock! Professor Sherlock! I know it too! ”

"I. I. I know it too! ”

After hearing Kreser's words, the dozen or so children scrambled to raise their little hands, wanting to show off themselves in front of Krezer. Krezer glanced at him, then finally fixed his gaze on the nervous, shy little boy who was stammering a little, and he pointed at him with his magic wand.

"Eric, come on!"

"I. I.! As if surprised that Kraser had asked him to answer the question, the little boy with freckles on his face and a shy expression did not utter a complete sentence for a long time, and finally, to the laughter of the other children, he hung his head and did not look at it.

"Silence!" Looking at the laughing children, Kratzer frowned, said in a calm voice, and tapped the lectern with his magic wand, and after the children had quieted down, he continued to point his magic wand at the little boy with his head down. "Eric! You continue! ”

"Good. Good! Professor Sherlock! Eric, whose face was full of freckles, stood up and stammered in reply. It is now two thousand two hundred and twenty-eight years in the magical calendar, and it has been more than two thousand years since the chaotic era of the Montimos continent ended. Terran in the great magician Gusby? Under the leadership of Francis, through the research and use of magical elements, and the other races on the continent, he defeated the original overlord of the continent, the goblins, and became the new leader of the Montimos continent. ”

"In the past two thousand years, our human race's comprehension and application of magical elements have surpassed the elves, who are known as the darlings of nature, and have become the new darlings of the elements. For more than 2,000 years, the human race has made the use of magic more extensive through continuous improvement and development, and countless geniuses have emerged and fallen to create today's success. We need to remember that we are able to sit here and learn magic with peace of mind as we do today because of the dangerous path that countless ancestors have given their lives to explore for us. ”

Under the encouraging gaze of Krazier, Eric, a little boy with freckles on his face, gradually spoke more and more fluently, and his voice became louder and louder, until he memorized all the knowledge he had learned in one breath, and then he took a heavy breath, and his small chest rose and fell up and down, and it seemed that it was the first time he had said so much, and there was a feeling that he was tired. When he was finished, Krazer smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand, motioned for Eric to sit down, and then cleared his throat before continuing.

"But is history really as it is written in the history books? We don't know, after all, the right to write history is always in the hands of the victors, but there is only one historical truth that cannot be questioned, that is, our use of magic today is not innate, we are just walking on the path that countless Terran ancestors exchanged for their lives, and in the future we will continue to use our lives to explore the future of magic. ”

Although the little ones sitting below didn't seem to understand his impassioned words, Kretzer knew that the future must belong to their children. He didn't want to teach the children to learn about magic, he wanted each child to have their own unique understanding of magic. He wants to teach these children to establish their own magical concepts, instead of cramming them with knowledge that has been proven countless times by their predecessors, only continuous innovation will make progress, although the road will be full of bumps, but it will make their lives more colorful.
