Chapter Twenty-Three: The Cunning Glazer
The two talked about the social system and ideology to the interference of individual force in civilized society, from the macro control of the state apparatus over the mercenary group, to the fact that being cautious in adventure is not the same as refusing to communicate with people, and finally returned to Ash's excessive caution.
"But why would he imitate your handwriting?" Mu Yan asked.
The old man put down the goblet, leaned back in his chair and sighed, "Probably because I am worried that someone will covet his belongings, I have been to Hosdy several times before to issue commissions, so the people there are more familiar with my handwriting and way of speaking. Ever since his magic power had gradually declined to the point where he was inferior to the mages of the Three Rings, he had become extremely cautious, and he had even come down to me less often. ”
He looked into the distance in a daze, "Actually, if I had to make a choice, I would rather choose not to unravel the brand, so that I am still his father, not a teacher." He used to call me father, but since then he has called me teacher, probably from the notes, this is not popular among the wizards of Heru, they want to kill all the cubs with high elemental affinity, so as not to compete with them for the elements in the future. ”
Mu Yan nodded thoughtfully, the mages of Luokan all have this habit, and often mention their teachers after leaving the apprenticeship, firstly, the master-apprentice relationship is indeed deep, and secondly, it is to show respect and nostalgia, but Heru is different, they respect the strong who survive in the harsh environment, but this does not mean that they will not take action against young threats.
The two of them were silent, each with their own thoughts, and all that remained on the terrace was the sound of the leaves of the ghost orchid swaying in the wind.
"Uh-huh-"
At this time, the broom returned, and the broom made a series of grinding sounds on the ground.
"Long time no see, little one."
The old man looked at his creation, and the broom danced happily around him.
Seeing this scene, Mu Yan couldn't help but feel a little emotional, if it weren't for Glazer's indifferent and optimistic attitude, he might not have been able to create such an interesting spell.
Ah Broom flew around the Creator for a while, and came to Mu Yan a little timidly.
The latter curiously stretched out his hand, only to be immediately dodged.
"Huh?"
"You still have the fire element left in your hand, and it's scared." The old man explained with a smile. "It has the properties of elemental creatures to some extent, and is sensitive to these things."
"That's it......" He didn't expect this guy to be so sensitive, how long has it been since he used the condensing fire element, so he had a plan.
The surrounding wood elements quickly converged, and the Ghost Pattern Orchid was also moved in front of him by the mage's hand. Catalyzed by the elements, the Ghost Orchid spreads its branches and leaves in the wind, thriving, and its thick roots quickly break through the pot.
Mu Yan gathered another cloud of earth elementals, wrapped around its roots, and washed the leaves with a stream of water. The latter gradually turned into a new large-scale bonsai.
"Now it's all right." He stretched out his hand again, condensed the three elements, and now there should be no trace of fire.
Broom was indeed not as afraid as before this time, and slowly leaned over.
As a result, Mu Yan began to be at a loss, not to mention that he had no experience in raising cats and dogs, even if he did...... How do you appease a broom that has become a fine broom?
Fortunately, Ah Broom slipped back after a few circles around him, which alleviated the embarrassment.
"Spiritualism is amazing......" he couldn't help but sigh.
The old man looked at him with a smirk, and suddenly asked, "Your skill in controlling the elements is really good, and it is very average, and there is almost no difference between the different elements. ”
Mu Yan smiled embarrassedly.
"Want to learn elemental fusion?"
"Huh?" He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't react yet.
"Actually, you don't have a brand on you."
Gray's bright eyes gleamed with a sly sly light as he said this.
At this moment, Mu Yan had the illusion of being seen through, and he felt a chill behind him, and he almost stood up directly.
Theoretically, he should have retorted with a smile, but he was caught off guard and was caught off guard, and he experienced a moment of hesitation, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was wrong.
So he simply nodded in acknowledgement and asked rhetorically.
"How did Mr. Green guess?"
"Remember what I just said," the old man pointed to the broom. "It's sensitive to those. The brand of the hipsters will give off a strange aura, but it doesn't feel it from you. In addition, you also missed a lot of things in our discussion just now. Glazer burst out laughing, "You're a bit like I was when I was younger, though a little more cautious. As long as you mention what you are best at, you can't help but jump into it. So you're about the same age as Ash, and you've only been here for a short time, right? ”
Mu Yan looked at him dumbfounded.
Other words...... The old man who was spitting and about to overturn the table when he was discussing academics with himself just now was actually secretly frustrating himself?
Are you legendary mages capable of acting like this......
"Xia Mu, did I just say that I leaked my mouth?" He hurriedly asked.
"There are two references to sensitive information in the host's words, one of which refers to a specific time, and the original words are 'Monsieur Hegel in 564...... This remained undefeated for more than a hundred years, until Hegel, the grandson of his grandson, ...... the Younger."
It seems that he is too involved as the other party said......
"Xiao Mu, I have no malicious intent." The old man explained: "Actually, the idea was there from the beginning, from the moment you said it, just to make my words more convincing. ”
"That sentence? Which sentence? ”
"You said there's a me in Jialan." Glazer's expression became serious. "I don't know how you came to Heru, but since you weren't branded, there's hope to go back. I hope to make a deal with you. ”
"Tell me." said this, but in fact, Mu Yan vaguely guessed what he meant.
"The only thing I've been able to get my hands on right now is the 'Elemental Fusion' technique, which isn't necessarily useful in Lokan, but it can inspire you a little bit, plus I can help you before you get into the Legends. I want to use these as chips in exchange for a promise from you. The old man paused, taking a deep breath. I actually have a half-elf daughter......"
Wait, I know this!
“…… Since Jialan still has me, it means that they have other plans, and my daughter has not been discovered for the time being, so I hope you can go to Silvermoon City to find her......"
Whew-
He breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he was not Tuogu, but the other party's words were not finished.
"If she's in love with someone else, it doesn't bother you anything. If not, I want you to guard her for me until she finds someone she loves the most. Before this, you were partners or lovers, as long as you didn't hurt her, okay? ”
The old man looked at him with pleading eyes, and Mu Yan was a little strange in addition to being moved.
No, it should be eccentric and touching.
After being silent for a long time, he felt that the other party's emotions had calmed down and could withstand the fright, so he spoke: "Your daughter...... It's called Idriel, right? ”
"You......" Glazer's mood suddenly became complicated. You know about it, too? Or is it already known? ”
"Here's the thing...... Mu Yan thought for a while, and described the story he knew from Amacer, deleting the prejudice and hostility of a certain male elf towards his father-in-law.
“…… As far as I know, Miss Idril is now living in Jialan under the pseudonym Lina Imbas, and her life is not bad, and her strength is improving rapidly. Perhaps your guess is right, someone is secretly working on a plan, so Miss Lina is not in danger for the time being. ”
After listening to him, Glazer lowered his head and did not speak for a long time.
Seeing his frightened look, Mu Yan's heart suddenly balanced a lot, but at the same time, he was a little worried that he would not be able to accept that he was smeared like that.
Abandon his wife and kill her to preach...... It's even more excessive than Chen Shimei.
"That means she's doing well, isn't she?"
The old man raised his head, his eyes slightly reddened.
"Let's just put it that way." Mu Yan said: "It's just not clear how the fake explained Amacer to her." After all, I haven't touched your daughter. ”
"It's enough to know she's doing well." The old man seemed relieved, not worried about himself at all.
"I probably understand what they're trying to do," he said lightly, "that Lords of the Elements of Lokan haven't given up on mastering the mage's destiny yet, and I guess she hopes to train Idril to become a legendary mage with faith and resurrect the elementals for her." ”
"But that woman thinks too much, and that's impossible." The old man's eyebrows were full of confidence. "'Legendary mages with faith' is a paradox in itself. Not to mention that there is no faith, and even if there is, a mage who has spent his life pursuing the truth will only believe in the truth, but if he is lucky and feels that there are gods guiding him in the underworld, it is impossible for him to find the right direction in the sea of suffering, reach the other side, and become a legend, I am very sure of this. ”
"That'...... What about Mia? Mr. Green, what do you think of Goddess Mia? Mu Yan asked.
The old man shook his head.
"Mia is the mother of all of us, she is all things in the world, and we only have love for her, a love that sprouts from the bones, and this love is above everything else, even higher than ourselves."
I thought so too, Mu Yan nodded silently, repeating this sentence in his heart.
