Chapter 446: Reactions from All Sides (Part II)
"That's interesting........."
Looking at the mirror image projected in front of him, the white-robed mage touched his chin and revealed a strange smile. Beside him, a woman in a red mage robe rolled her eyes helplessly.
"Douglas, you've watched this video ten times, aren't you tired of it?"
"Of course, dear Mary."
In the face of his colleague's inquiry, Douglas smiled and raised his head, once again pouring magic into the crystal ball in his hand.
"You know, this is a rare scene to see Van Riel's group of barbarians eating in front of the public, I think I can take it back as a family heirloom, take it out when I'm happy, take it out and look at it when I'm unhappy, no, no, no, as the saying goes, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy, maybe I can give this image to the society in the White Tower........."
"It's only about the invention of magic and the formula for transforming it, what are you going to do with this?"
"Uh-huh........."
Hearing this, Douglas thought for a moment, then he stretched out his hand to recite a spell, and soon, he saw that the image projected from the crystal changed, and a small "DG" symbol appeared in the upper right corner of the image. It dances like a flame.
"How about a presentation on the topic of 'Douglas' new special effects for projection images?"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ It's good if you're happy. β
Mary didn't want to say anything about Douglas's cheating behavior, and she could foresee that the footage would spread throughout the Wizarding Nation at a rapid pace. Of course, logically speaking, such an image is out of specification, but the mages of the Wizard Country are not buried in books, and other than that, they are good-for-nothing nerdsβββ they also have their own methods of how to have fun.
While wondering if she would take a copy back with her, Mary sat down next to Douglas and stared at the projection in front of her again.
"But......... Still unbelievable........."
"Yes, a group of children under the age of ten can actually master such power."
Douglas also let out a long sigh, and then he narrowed his eyes and glanced at the female mage beside him with interest.
"By the way, Mary, guess who is the strongest of these children?"
"Isn't that the girl with the double ponytail?"
Hearing Douglas's inquiry, Mary was stunned for a moment, and then gave an answer.
"Since she dares to go forward and fight Alfred alone, then it means that she must be the strongest person in the world."
"My stupid student........."
But in the face of Mary's answer, Douglas shook his head.
"As a mage, you're so insensitive that I'm really worried about whether you'll be able to inherit my mantle........."
"I'm your student just because other tutors can't be available, and for me, that's the worst choice."
Mary looked at Douglas faintly, without the slightest respect she should have for her mentor.
"If you say that, the teacher will be sad, as a student, shouldn't you respect the teacher more?"
"If you hadn't spied on girls bathing and changing clothes with magic eyes, and had always sent demons to steal my underwear, I think I might have some respect for you, teacher, but for now......... If you don't chase away the demon hiding under the chair, I'm not sure you'll do anything to it. β
"Uh..............."
Douglas's smile stiffened slightly, and he whistled. Soon a hamster ran out from under Mary's chair, and then it looked at Mary in fear, squeaked twice, and crawled down Douglas's robe all the way to his hand.
"Ah, my poor Selena........."
Gently stroking the hamster in his hand, Douglas let out a long sigh.
"I'm sorry, I didn't even know you ended up there......... I've been looking for you for a long time........."
"Please stop acting!"
"Ahem, ahem, okay."
Perhaps to hide his embarrassment of using the magic to spy on his students, Douglass coughed a few times, then he reversed the projection, then paused, and then Douglas reached out and pointed at one of the girls.
"See her?"
"You mean the blonde girl?"
Hearing this, Mary also narrowed her eyes, carefully observed the girl, and then shook her head.
"I don't see anything special about her."
"That's why I said you're not mature enough as a mage."
Douglas stretched out his finger and shook it slightly.
"As a mage, you should never give up on observing your surroundings......... Didn't you find out? When the kid and Alfred began to fight, the blonde girl stood in front of the others, and they didn't resist it in the slightest. And that's not all......... At that time, I felt a very mysterious and powerful force protecting these children, and the source was ........."
As he spoke, Douglas pointed to the image in front of him.
"It's not surprising."
Mary didn't seem to care much about this, after all, as a mage, she had seen all kinds of strange things, and she wouldn't make a fuss about such a trivial matter.
"If there is some kind of bloodline in her body, then it is normal to awaken some special abilities, isn't it?"
"What if I told you that these kids all have this power, but with different intensities?"
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Mary finally showed a surprised expression.
"Really?"
"That's right, I also felt the energy field released by that girl, and I became curious to try it, huh......... It turned out to be really interesting, the energy feedback showed that the girls all had some kind of energy intensity above the average level, but they didn't seem to use this power on a regular basis, just like us mages, just stored this power in their bodies and ......... it when necessary."
As he spoke, Douglas opened his right hand and made an explosive gesture.
"Look, it's funny, isn't it? Not only that, but I also felt that these energy fields were related to each other......... They're a lot like the Mind Flayer's psychic network, but I've never seen a system like this before........."
"It's never a good habit to peek into other people's secrets, teacher, when will you be able to get rid of this problem?"
"This is a common problem for mages."
Douglas doesn't seem to have the slightest remorse for what he did.
"Our mage's lifelong wish is to lift the skirt of the Goddess of Truth and peek into the truth and secrets hidden underneath, so you see, Mary, the Goddess of Truth is so charismatic that we don't even hesitate to ......... in this way"
"If the council leader hears this, I think you will be hung on the top of the white tower waiting to dry when you go back."
"Hehe, he doesn't have the guts, otherwise I will shake out his black history back then, and it will be a good choice to have someone accompany me to watch the scenery on the top of the White Tower at that time."
"I'd love to ask what kind of black history it is, but I guess it's better not to know myself......... So, Mentor, what are you going to do? β
Mary decisively abandons the dangerous-sounding topic and gets back on track.
"Do we need to engage with this emerging power?"
"Of course, Mary, do you think we can let this opportunity go?"
Douglas suddenly became excited, he stood up, walked to the window, and stretched out his hand to point to the huge battleship outside.
"Look at that! That's what we're aiming for! Perfect, exquisite, full of imagination and the limits of creativity! Isn't this the future that our Wizard Nation wants? In the face of such a miracle, how do you think we could possibly let it go? We need to learn, we want to acquire these technologies! β
At this, Douglas took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Luckily......... The one who led the team still has something to do with the White Tower......... That's right, Mary. β
"Huh? What's up? β
Mary was alerted to hear Douglas call her name, and Douglas came to her with a smile on his face.
"Haven't you been complaining that I'm not a good teacher? As it happens, I can introduce you to a new teacher......... Your Excellency Fang Zheng, he only passed the examination a month ago and became a full-time mage of the White Tower, I think with your charm, he will definitely not refuse some small, not too excessive requests......... Burst! β
But before Douglas could finish his sentence, Mary jumped to her feet and landed a beautiful right hook in the face.
"You're telling me to betray the hue?!"
"A mage can even sell his soul for the sake of knowledge!"
Rubbing his cheeks, Douglas looked at his students again.
"Besides, this Excellency is also handsome and dashing, young and promising......... Aren't you tempted? In that case, I'll have to let Mistra go........."
"Wait."
Hearing this, Mary raised an eyebrow.
"Why is her name here?"
"Because the temple also wants to have a relationship with him, and if it wants to have a relationship, then it must be someone who is familiar with him."
As he spoke, Douglas looked at Mary with a smile.
"How? Your sister would love to meet this Lord Founder, huh? β
