Chapter 19: Wizard Talent
Phil didn't hesitate for a pile of flesh and blood, as if he knew the road well, he went to the top of the ship, where there was only one room. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Tuk Tuk!" Phil knocked on the door.
"Come in!" the voice from inside was far less cold than before.
The door opened to a living room, a man in a black robe sat behind a desk, the man was about thirty years old, with black hair and black eyes, and behind him was a porthole, and the night outside the porthole was pitch black, reflecting the man's sense of mysterious shadows.
"Wizard-sama. Phil bowed and exclaimed respectfully.
"Sit. ”
Phil sat in the chair across from the man.
"As a wizard, there isn't so much red tape, like the prostration that is prevalent in the country of ordinary people, which is almost invisible among wizards, do you know why?" said the man as he waited for Phil to sit down.
Phil didn't understand why the wizard was telling him this, but he thought about it for a moment, and then replied carefully, "Is it because the wizard has the greatest power in the world?"
"Why does a wizard have such great power?" the man asked again.
Phil didn't know how to answer this time, he didn't know anything about the power of wizards.
"Talent?" he said questioningly.
The man shook his head and said, "The reason why wizards really have such powerful power is because wizards have mastered the truth of this world, and talent is just a tool for wizards to grasp the truth. ”
Phil doesn't know what the truth of the world is, but he knows that what the wizard says is important.
"I'm just letting you know that the level of talent is not the most important thing, what matters is whether your heart is eager to seek the truth of the world, and it will never cool. "There have been many instances in the wizarding world where a gifted genius has turned into a useless waste, and many of the long-standing wizards have had a low initial talent test. ”
Then the wizard told Phil a story, a story about a protagonist named Angle. In the story, Anglie grew step by step from a young master of an ordinary family, with third-class talent wizard qualifications, gradually became stronger in killing and exploration, and finally resounded in the wizarding world with the name of "Phoenix Sleeper".
After the story is finished, Phil is still immersed in the demeanor of Master Angle, the "Phoenix Sleeper".
"You don't have to think too much about it now, those are too far away from you. The man said, "When you're a full-fledged wizard, start thinking about these things." Below the official wizard, it is not at all considered to enter the wizarding world. ”
"Yes. Phil replied with a bowed head.
"I'm Chris, the official wizard of the White Tower Academy," the man continued, "Now, put your hand on the crystal ball and let me see your qualifications." ”
Before Phil could react, a crystal ball shining with a slight cold light suddenly appeared on the empty table in front of him.
"Yes, Lord Chris. Phil answered by stretching out his hands over the crystal ball and unconsciously closing his eyes.
Phil seemed to feel that he was back in the darkness when he was meditating, but there was no black fog and no singing, Phil seriously put down all his thoughts, he began to hear the ethereal sound of the tide, and the darkness in front of him also began to appear faint starlight, suddenly the starlight brightened, bright as the day, the sound of the tide gradually sounded, and finally like a mantra, he saw a figure in the light, sitting cross-legged, his hands folded, he wanted to see more clearly, so he tried to move forward, but found that he was not far away from the figure, even if he ran up, he never found that they were close。 Eventually, Phil fell into the darkness and when he opened his eyes, he found that the crystal ball in his hand was missing, and he was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his hands folded.
"You can go out, remember what I told you," the hall was empty, but Wizard Chris's voice came to Phil's ears clearly.
"Your wizarding qualifications are, third-class talents. ”
Like that Master Angle, is he a third-class talent?Phil got up and walked outside.
Unbeknownst to Phil and the Wizard Chris, in the darkness of nowhere, a pocket watch was slowly retracting its glow and returning to silence.
As soon as Phil walked out of Chris's wizard's room, he ran into a young girl wearing a red power suit and bright red hair.
"I'm Miranda, what's your name?" she said.
Phil frowned, he remembered the previous conversation between Thomas and Verus, this girl named "Miranda" had a first-class talent wizarding qualification, was going to the Black Sotalla Academy, and had a conflict with Thomas, and won.
This is not a simple girl, Phil squinted at her, his legs were round and straight, his hands were slender, his skin was tight, and the red power suit was clinging to her body, this was a girl with super high physical fitness, Phil boldly guessed that the girl had definitely been promoted to knight.
At this moment, Phil noticed the girl's voice, which was very familiar, and he remembered the sneer before the icicle standing in front of him was raised, and it was this girl who made that sneer!
In other words, whether intentionally or not, the girl named Miranda in front of him saved his life.
"Phil. Phil replied.
Miranda smiled and said, "You're a knight, aren't you? You're the only one who has that kind of reflexes, and it just so happens that I'm also a knight." ”
Really. Phil shook his head and said, "What if it's a knight? ”
Miranda nodded and said, "After all, it's a zero-level witch weapon, and it looks like you're the first time you've learned about a zero-level witch weapon, right?"
Phil nodded, but he secretly remembered that the words "Level Zero Witch Weapon" were mentioned in the Dante Wizard's Notebook, but it was the first time he had actually seen it.
"Don't worry too much, you'll find out later. Miranda said, "It's just some foreign things, and only their own strength belongs to them." ”
"That's true. Phil said, but he was very sure that the girl in front of him also had at least one "foreign object".
"Don't think too much about it. I'm just here to get to know you. ”
"Why?" Phil asked, "Why me?"
Miranda chuckled, and suddenly stepped forward quickly, sweeping Phil from left to right.
The kick was fast, and it had an indomitable momentum.
Phil's heart sank, and the chip also gave a quick retreat suggestion, but it was too fast! It was so fast that Phil didn't have time to retreat at all, so he could only push to the left with both hands instinctively.
A huge force came from the palm of his hand, and Phil had to retreat to unload it, or he would inevitably hurt his arm.
But then Miranda suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his left hand, grabbed Phil with one pull, and attacked Phil's waist with the other.
Phil calmed down, ignoring it, but his right hand struck Miranda's chest.
But Miranda suddenly let go, and her body immediately moved away from Phil.
"The strength is good, but your knight training doesn't seem to be good enough," she waved and turned away, "I hope that next time I see you, there will be some improvement." ”
Watching Miranda disappear around the corner, Phil rubbed his palms and pondered, not knowing what he was thinking.
In the power cabin of the sea ship in the night, the sailors who stepped on the winch had already returned, and only the mountain whales that were chained were still swimming, unconsciously making a slight breathing sound, which was very clear to the ears in this empty place.
The fat woman's death didn't bring much change to the lower space, at most a few kitchen ladies sighed, and then went their own way. But the news of Phil's wizarding qualifications shook everyone, and when the waiters present told the sailors the news with horror on their faces, everyone was in an uproar, and old Colin suddenly fell to the ground, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
Phil returns to the cargo hold to find a dark figure sitting in front of the cargo door.
"Whew!"
A light lit up on Phil's fingertips, illuminating the dark shadow, which was old Colin.
Old Colin looked at the light of Phil's fingertips tremblingly, his eyes were full of curiosity and fear, and he kept muttering: "I can't think of it, I can't think of it, I really can't think of it......"
"Why are you still here?"
Old Colin stood up carefully, not daring to straighten his back, he was actually only thirty years old, but now he looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, and Phil suddenly remembered what Wizard Chris had told him that there was not much red tape between wizards.
"I don't know if you're going to come back, so I'm just waiting here. Old Colin whispered.
After Phil came out of Chris's room with the wizard, a waiter arranged a room for him like the other boys and girls, but he chose to come back anyway.
"What are you waiting for me to do?" said Phil, "there is no training tonight. ”
"I want to ......"
"If it's nonsense, it doesn't need to be said. ”
Old Colin suddenly stopped, and then he didn't know what to say, he still didn't know what nonsense was and what wasn't nonsense for Phil.
"When you return from this voyage, go to these places, and find a knight to re-train as a knight. Phil watched him and revealed several hidden addresses in the empire, which he used to conceal his identity and hide things when he was on the run, and they were several manors that would not be in danger even if they were finally discovered.
As long as Old Colin becomes a knight with the help of the resources of the manor, he will almost be able to obtain the rewards of the empire, and the shadow of Phil's own wizard qualifications will also protect Old Colin, at that time, Old Colin will be able to really own a sea ship of his own, although there may not be a navigational beast like a mountain whale, but it is enough for Old Colin.
Old Colin obediently remembered these addresses.
"I'll be at my destination tomorrow, and I don't have to say goodbye to you. Phil finally said, "Go back and rest." ”
"Good. Old Colin nodded, finally mustered up the courage to take a look at Phil and walked away quickly. Maybe when he is really old, he will have a full house of children and grandchildren, and then he may sit in front of the fireplace with a group of grandchildren, just like he did with his children before and tell a legendary story, in which he scoops the protagonist out of the boundless sea, rescues the destined protagonist, and starts the road of legend. By that time, his slumped body was curled up in a warm and wide chair, and his eyes were full of memories in the light of the fireplace.
"Colin!"
Phil suddenly stopped old Colin.
Old Colin turned his head and looked at Phil with questions.
"That fat woman, what's her name?"
Old Colin was stunned, and immediately replied: "Ji'er, her name is Ji'er." ”
Old Colin looked at Phil's departing figure, and seemed to hear him whisper, "Fat woman named Ji'er", and turned to push open the door of the cargo hold.
The light technique on Phil's fingertips in front of him also emitted a magical and dazzling light, pulling out a long shadow behind him, and Old Colin stood in this huge shadow, watching Phil's back studded with golden light slowly leave.
This was the last of Colin's memories of Phil.
