Chapter 7: A magician at night
Some are too impulsive. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Back at the hotel, Monia, who returned to her room, plunged into the quilt and thought to herself.
Tonight's decision was really unconspiratory, it was really arbitrary.
Not to mention that it was just to take revenge on the other party, but just to avoid the dilemma of Aini, it was possible to put himself in a duel that put himself in danger and obviously put himself in danger. Even the action of joining "Sword and Rose" is not at all rational when I think about it now.
It's true that she likes Aini, and she does regard everyone in the mercenary group as friends.
But joining the small mercenary group of "Sword and Rose" really didn't do her any good. The promotion of a mage requires not only a certain amount of talent, but also a large amount of money. Regardless of the era, the materials needed by mages are not cheap.
A low-level mage needs at least one large mercenary group to have enough funds to support his spell experiments and spell learning, and to provide sufficient funds to build his own meditation field and accelerate the condensation and expansion of his spiritual power.
The reason why she chose to leave the school and go to the gathering place of the southern elves was largely because of the problem of funds. Although the school will bring up junior mages, it is only the minimum ration, and she can go to the gathering place of the elves who are waiting for a new one, not to mention her identity as an original elf, or the identity of an elven mage, which is enough for her to obtain a high-quality meditation room in the mage tower.
You know, elves aren't poor. With a long life combined with intelligence beyond the average human average, and a tireless pursuit of art, the wealth they have amassed is definitely not a small number. What they lack is only the most basic rights to being intelligent beings.
However, adding "Swords and Roses" is a bit more difficult.
The small "Sword and Rose" simply did not provide the materials she needed for her experiments, and the funds needed to build a basic meditation field - that is, if she stayed in the mercenary group, she would probably be promoted to a mid-level mage by thirty or forty years.
This is unacceptable for Monia, who can roughly guess the future chaos head. There was really only one choice before her - to quit the Sword and Rose Mercenary Regiment after the duel.
However, she really couldn't tell them her choice in front of Aronika and the mercenary group.
It's all to blame on "Glory"!
She thought of it hatefully, and threw the pillow the **.
If it weren't for the "Glory" gang, would they be so entangled?
The little mage was already thinking about what kind of spells to prepare in the duel to deal with these hateful creatures - the old and the new hatred had to be counted together, and they couldn't be cheapened!
Just as Monia's teeth were itching, a voice suddenly remembered beside her.
"Ahh
The voice is a little frivolous, but there is no malice to hear.
"Who?" Monia subconsciously drew her escape dagger and made a defensive posture - of course, this was a lie. The little girl, who had been a thief for seven or eight years before becoming a mage's apprentice, had a natural vigilance, and few people could touch her unknowingly. It is precisely because of this that the approacher who can make her unaware is an enemy that she cannot defeat nine times out of ten. This is where the escape dagger comes into play.
"Oh, space props?" The voice flickered far and near, Monia looked around, even if she used the detection sneak to find the owner of the voice, as if he was not in this world at all, "There are a lot of good things, it seems that you have a good mentor." ”
"Who the hell are you?"
Monia, who was broken by the enemy, looked stiff, and there were not many people who could recognize the space props, at least they were high-level mages. The High Mage's detection spells are so numerous, neither Mentor Kohler's escape dagger nor the thirty seconds of phase travel time attached to the Ring of Deception left to her by her parents are enough to help her escape the detection range of a High Mage.
However, when did she offend a high-ranking mage?
The little mage struggled to remember.
"It looks like you don't remember, it's sad. I thought the morning gave you an unforgettable memory. The voice didn't sound a little sad, but a little ridiculous, "No way, it seems that I can only let you review this memory." ”
Today?
The little mage seemed to remember something, but then, a strong malice surged madly from all around, tightly surrounding her - consciousness was wailing, body was spasming, subconsciously holding her head with her hands, squatting, shrinking at the edge of the ** corner, trembling.
"Yikes." The voice was a little surprised, "Still conscious?" Looks like you've got a lot of talent. ”
"You ......"
"It's amazing willpower and mental strength to be able to speak." The voice praised, but there was no kindness, "It seems that if you continue on the path of the ether, there is a chance that you will become an archmage, and even the path of legends can be glimpsed." ”
"What a talent that even I am jealous of." After a long sigh, the mysterious visitor asked unkindly, "Do you think I should kill you to get rid of the trouble?" ”
More intense malice surged in, Monia could no longer maintain a decent posture, her legs were weak, and she lay directly on the **, raised her head with a sloppy gaze, gasped for breath, and did not move.
"It's a pity, I'm going to suffocate if I play any longer." The owner of the voice appeared in the house, a young man with a sense of vicissitudes, and the specific image was impossible to see clearly because Monia's consciousness was in a very bad situation, "If you die, I won't be able to handle it." ”
The malice suddenly dissipated, and Monia was relieved, but like someone who had just come from the brink of drowning, her condition did not improve, and she could not even reply.
"I originally wanted to punish you, but I didn't expect you to survive." The young man said in a tone of light appreciation, "That's why, Master, I give you respect and the right to talk to me, even though you don't seem to be able to speak now. ”
"I'll wait for you for ten seconds in the face of the elf, and if you don't speak for ten seconds, I'll leave."
"Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four......"
"Wait...... Wait. ”
With three seconds left, the little mage struggled to speak.
"It's not up to you," the mysterious visitor seemed to smile, "if you have any questions, hurry up, you have three chances to ask questions, and of course, whether or not to answer your questions depends on my mood." I may be able to answer all three questions, but more likely I will not answer any of them. ”
"Why did you let me go?" Monia asked.
"Is that your first question? Congratulations, you wasted a valuable opportunity. The young man clapped his hands, "I thought you would ask some difficult questions, but well, the answer is simple, because you are an elf." ”
He said to himself, "I once promised a man that I would never hurt an elf. ”
For some reason, Monia felt his sadness.
"Okay, let's say your second question, if you go back late, you will definitely be scolded by the lord!"
Monia hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What is that experiment?" ”
"This time I'm really congratulating, you asked about a confidential matter." The mysterious visitor changed his previous indifference and said in a very serious tone: "Friendly reminder, this is not a secret that you should know, are you sure you must know this secret?" ”
"No, no." Monia will not forget the feeling of being almost suffocated by malicious wrapping before, nor will she forget that the man in front of her is a powerful mage who can take her own life with every move, let alone be smart to probe the secrets and bottom lines of the other party.
"There's one last question left." The mysterious visitor stretched out his hand, "It's all over when you're done, just ask when you're done, mage." ”
"I want to ask you," Monia hesitated again, but finally decided, "is it legendary?" ”
"Hahaha!" For some reason, the young-looking man suddenly burst out laughing maniacally, and after a while he replied, "Legend, legend, if I were a legend, I wouldn't be like this!" If I hadn't taken that step, I'm afraid it would have been better than it is now! ”
"Well, are you satisfied now?"
Unlike the previous malice, this time it was a real killing intent. Although it was not as embarrassing as the targeted malice before, Monia had no doubt that in the next moment, he would kill himself, without mercy, like a chicken.
Luckily, the butcher's knife didn't fall, and the mysterious visitor just gave him a cold look before disappearing from the room.
From beginning to end, it was like a dream.
However, the little mage would not simply think that it was a dream, and after the oppression of the other party disappeared, she suddenly noticed a problem - in the powerful mage who had already taken the first step towards the legend, she did not feel the breath of the ether, not at all.
This feeling made her feel creepy.
The world is born because of the ether, everything is the embodiment of the ether, and the creation without the breath of the ether does not exist, at least, it does not exist in this world.
And in Aarens, there are only two kinds of creatures that are not of this world.
- The gods, and ...... Demon Abyss.
Considering the apparently anomalous kobold guards at the lumberyard, she leaned more towards the latter.
That is, he is...... A mage who betrayed the Aether and used the power of the Abyss - the magician.
"I'm so lucky." Monia sighed, she knew that it was difficult for a mage like the other party who was close to a legend to be corrupted by the will of the Demon Abyss, and even if it had been corrupted, a powerful mage with a strong aether imprint could still retain a little bit of her own will, and it was thanks to this that she was able to survive from the other party's hands.
It's really lucky.
She also guessed one thing about the experiment of the kobold in the lumberyard with the knowledge of later generations - it was about the mage's demonization plan, that is, she was reckless, sabotaged an important plan of the demon abyss to erode Aarens, and she is still alive.
This luck can only be explained by the favor of the ether.
However, she clearly knew that this experiment would only be carried out in a different place, and that this experiment would not be successful in a short period of time. Demonizing a mage is not to rely on him and arrange a few people to infect this demonization effect, but to guide him spiritually and willingly.
As for how this unknown powerful mage came to be, Monia was a little curious. He has already taken a crucial step, and he is only a little short of becoming a legend, what will be the reason**? It can't be that he happened to fall into the lair of the Demon Abyss.
The little mage, who was thinking about it like this, fell asleep tiredly. She didn't know that her last conjecture was very close to reality, and she didn't know that outside her room, the mysterious visitor did not go far, but just stood quietly, looking at the flat hands.
"Hey, I really can't do it."
He sighed, "It seems that if I want to get out of this embarrassing situation completely, I must find a way to make the elves disappear from this world completely." ”
"We have to act."
With that, he turned and disappeared into the night.
