Chapter 45: Ill-fated
Edward would value Jarrow, not only because of his knowledge of the dark arts, but also because he was a disciple of the old man.
Seeing Jarrow's reaction, he immediately understood what was going on!
"It's good to be a disciple of the old gentleman, but you have to deal with a lot of pressure, not just ... Those young and vigorous guys, and..! β
After a pause, Edward continued, "I see! You are the one who came out of that black tower, and I believe you don't know much about this world! It must have been difficult to grow to this point, right? β
"Uh, uncle, I seem to have heard this from the old man's mouth, that black tower... What exactly is the tower called? on the map.. Why isn't it marked where it is? I'm again.."
"I know you have doubts, but unfortunately I can't explain them to you! About the Black Tower, both technically and in principle, it is a mystery! Well.. The Black Tower is not only found in the city of Takira, but also known all over the world. There are nearly 1,000 of them, which is incredible, right? β
"Who built the Black Tower?"
"I don't know! In a word.. One day more than 500 years ago, the Black Tower stood all over the world without warning! In my guess, it shouldn't be a product of this world! But one way or another, it benefits humanity! It not only replenishes new blood for the Adventurer's Guild, but also eases some of the contradictions between humans and other races! β
Seeing that Jarrow was full of curiosity, Edward muttered: "If you want to say the name, because it is really difficult to study, the wizarding world uniformly calls it the Black Tower, and the world calls it the Tower of Miracles!" β
"Tower of Miracles? So where is it? β
"The locations are all hidden, you want to know?"
"Well, I want to know!"
I would ask this because the same batch of newcomers, including him, didn't know! I only vaguely remember that the armor soldier took everyone to a building, and everyone lined up to enter it. By the time the people reacted, they had already appeared in the empty courtyard not far from the guild.
According to Jarrow's guess, the suspicious building should have a teleportation array.
He wanted to know, after all, it was the tower that had brought him to the continent of Muffle, and the strange dreams he had had when he was unconscious, and he felt the need to go there.
Realizing that Edward was very knowledgeable, he took the other person to heart. If there is something difficult in the future, he may be able to help. Now he answered himself so patiently, how could he miss this opportunity!
Edward didn't know what Jarrow was thinking, so he took a puff of his cigarette and said earnestly, "It's a secret of the city of Tagera, so you'd better keep inquiring less!" What I can tell you is that every two months, the Black Tower will send out a group of people, a group of weirdos with initial adventurer potential! β
Jarrow was very knowledgeable, and he didn't ask any more questions. Thinking that a month would soon pass, he was in a trance! In another month, there will be new people registering? It's a pity that this world is cruel, and it's not easy for every batch of newcomers to live! They came here for some reason, are they lucky? Or bad luck?
"This is leaving? Wait, I forgot to get down to business when you diverted from the topic just now! β
Moving to the reading table and chair, and motioning for Jarrow to sit down, Edward said slowly: "Boy, I am looking for you this time only for two things!" First of all, Mr. Ban Lao is a member of the Magic Council, and the Magic Council... It is the most powerful organization in the wizarding world, responsible for overseeing all guilds and guilds in the human realm! β
Seeing that Jarrow was listening carefully, Edward continued: "It stands to reason that you should have been fortunate to become a disciple of Mr. Banlao, but it is a pity that you are a black magic envoy... Some trouble! β
"Listen to Uncle, is it that the wizarding world is prejudiced against the Dark Magician?"
"Prejudice is there, but it's not to the point of hatred, after all, if you want to crack the black magic above the middle level, you can't rely on those clergy alone! If you go to a foreign country, it is estimated that you will be squeezed out by many forces, so I advise you to use black magic less in front of people! Even if you use it, you can't see the clues! β
"The most troublesome thing is... Inquisitor, those people don't care who your disciple is, as long as they have the opportunity, they will definitely use all their power to arrest you, and then escort you to the Inquisition for interrogation! β
"Inquisition? Also an organization? β
"Well, this organization also has a lot of power, and it hates the Dark Magicians so much! Most of them are ordinary people, but their strength should not be underestimated, I believe that at this time they have set their eyes on you, you don't leave the territory of Takira City, it's okay, once you leave the country, you may be hunted by them at any time, you have to be mentally prepared! Before you have enough strength, don't leave the country at will, remember my words! β
Uh, what's wrong with knowing the dark arts? Why is it so unpopular?
Thinking about it carefully, Jarrow didn't think there was any need to care too much, Takira City was enough for him to stay for a long time, and there was no need to leave the country at the moment! If you need to, do a little more before you go! Even if you do get caught, it doesn't matter, you won't die anyway!
If necessary, you can also use headaches to get out of danger!
As soon as he thought of this, Jia Luo didn't worry anymore: "Uncle, what about the second thing?" β
"Or around the fact that you're a dark magician! This world is not only human beings and monsters, but also many powerful races. Black magic is not valued within the human race, but in the eyes of foreign races, it is a sweet tooth, especially the demon race and the fallen angel race! β
"If they know you exist, they'll rush to get you! Rest assured, you won't be in danger for the time being, but it's only a matter of time. Those guys are very hard to talk to, and if they target you, you should be careful! β
Pushing down his glasses, Edward said very seriously: "Boy, I don't want to tell you this, I don't want to trouble you, I just want to give you a suggestion!" I know you're a showy person and don't even like to be in crowded public, but that's not enough! β
"I hope you can keep a low profile in the future, the more low-key the better! Since Mr. Ban Lao has taken a fancy to you, I believe that your talent is far beyond that of ordinary adventurers! I think you should know how to do it! β
How? Disguise yourself before you go out? Like the weird woman who claims to be Misha, wearing a mask?
If you think about it, wearing a mask can really save you a lot of trouble!
But Jarrow doesn't want to do this, since he is a magician, of course he has to use the means of a magician to solve it! Learn or develop new magic?
"Thank you uncle for your concern, I'll pay attention! You're right, I don't like to be in the limelight, I just want to stay here in peace, just... It's really unpleasant to suddenly know that you are being remembered by so many people! Don't talk about it, uncle, this book... How much does it cost? β
"35 copper, don't give it to me! When you walk back to the front room, you'll be asked for it. Now that I'm done, it's time for me to go! Boy, do your best! β
Hard work must be hard, but when Jarrow opened the book in his hand, his face suddenly sank, what kind of symbol is this? There are basically more than a dozen words on each page that I don't know, and it seems that before formally learning the command, I have to recognize all the words!
This time I learned a lot, not only knowing the potential enemies we were going to face, but also learning the least mentioned information in the book! How many races are there in this world?
Why do demons and fallen angels worry about black magic?
Is black magic a taboo subject?
He didn't know that in his opinion, since black magic was listed as one of the elemental magics, it should have been recognized by people a long time ago. And magic is just magic after all, it depends on how people use it! If used correctly, maybe black magic can bring people back to life like light magic!
"Dear guest number 95527, we meet again! "The Complete Book of Imperative Explanations" requires 35 bronze.."
"Huh? It turned out to be you! It's 35 copper, you put it away! β
