Chapter 124: The Wandering Mage's Challenge (3)
In a daze, Carrido sat down at the table, with a shiny silver knife in front of him, and a large piece of roasted crispy and browned meat steak on the same silver plate, the rich aroma immediately dispelled Carrido's hesitation, and he began to eat.
"How? Tastes good, right? Link asked with a smile, this is Lucy's craft, Riverdale is famous.
"It's delicious, I've never tasted such fragrant barbecue." Carrido ate with a mouthful of oil, but then he felt a little rude and quietly slowed down.
People love to hear praise, especially sincere praise, which can best eliminate hostility, Lucy listened to Carrido's words, and her face softened a lot.
Ark snorted lightly, and no longer put on a stinky face to bluff people, there was still a bit of tension before, and he relaxed suddenly.
The little girl, Love, breathed a sigh of relief and began to enjoy her meal happily again.
Hmm~ The barbecue is tender and delicious, Sister Lucy's craftsmanship is not something that can be tasted anytime and anywhere, she must eat enough this time!
'It's delicious. Love cut off another piece, chewed it deliciously, chewed it for a while, then turned her head to look around, and saw that everyone in the hall had smiles on their faces, and she immediately felt very relaxed and comfortable, and her heart welled up with joy and peace.
In the time that followed, Link chatted with Carrido from time to time, all of which were some mainland anecdotes, and never mentioned anything about magic.
By the time dinner was over, Link had already talked and laughed with Carrido, but Carrido hadn't forgotten his business, he was here to make a name for himself, and it was related to his livelihood, so he couldn't delay it.
Taking the white cloth towel handed by the servant to wipe his mouth clean, he said with some hesitation, "Mr. Link, look"
He was a little embarrassed to say it directly.
Link smiled slightly, and said, "Since you want to see, then I'll show my hand." β
He didn't take his wand either, but stretched out his two hands and spread them out on the table.
"Don't you use a wand?" Carrido reminded.
Link smiled and shook his head, "Who have you ever seen with a wand at dinner?" β
Carrido became more and more embarrassed, he felt that he was really a little reckless, even if he had to come to challenge, he should find a suitable time, and it was rude to do this now.
"Mr. Carrido, you're watching!"
When the words fell, the smile on Link's face disappeared in an instant, and his eyes suddenly became as cold as a knife, and in the next moment, a level 1 whistle appeared on Link's left palm, and a glass bead appeared in his right hand.
These two spells appeared almost at the same time, at least with Carrido's gaze, there was no difference between before and after, and what was even more terrifying was that these two spells were all completed in an instant, that is, in the blink of an eye, the magic appeared.
With this single technique, Link demonstrated two spell-casting skills that all magicians dream of.
Dual-minded! Cast spells instantly!
Why the dream? Because it's powerful!
With this hand, Carrido's mouth couldn't close, and a pair of eyes were firmly fixed on the magic on Link's hands, and cold sweat flowed out from his forehead.
The swirling and screaming metal spikes, the dim solid fireballs, he didn't even recognize.
If you don't know it, it means that this is not ordinary magic, it must be blessed with some kind of super magic technique, and the power is definitely very great.
"Master! A master of terror! Carrido's heart was pounding, he knew that if it was a head-to-head duel, facing such a master, he would have to go to heaven in the blink of an eye, and he would not be able to fight back at all.
After a moment, Link canceled the spell, and a smile appeared on his face, and he asked softly, "Mr. Carrido, this is my magic, what do you think?" β
"Awesome! That's amazing! What a disturbing day. Carrido was ashamed and embarrassed, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground and hide.
He stood up and was about to leave, but Link suddenly said, "Mr. Carrido, you are a rare talent, and our mercenary group needs someone like you." Interested in joining us? β
This Kalido still has a good temperament and talent, he just has a low background and has no money to further his magic, such a character, if he cultivates and polishes it, he will be the pillar of his mercenary group in the future.
Carrido hesitated, but shook his head: "No, I'm used to being free, and I don't like to be constrained." β
Originally, it was nothing to join the mercenary group, but as a magician, he still had arrogance in his heart, and he also thought about it a little more, this flamingo mercenary group was too small, the faΓ§ade was also shabby, and the team members were poorly equipped, and the only thing that could handle it was a few core members.
With such a mercenary group, the future development prospects may be very limited.
Link didn't expect to succeed at the first time, he could also see Carrido's thoughts, and he was not disappointed in this, let alone resentful, but continued to throw an olive branch: "Oh, if there is any difficulty in the future, you can come to me, I think, you should need this." β
Saying that, Link used the mage's hand and handed a copy of "The Magic Road" to Carido, he could see that Carido only had a few spells, maybe it was not bad, but his foundation was very weak, if he didn't want to progress, it was nothing, but if he wanted to continue on the path of magic, then he had to fully understand the foundation of the magic mansion.
Kalido subconsciously, took the magic book, and as soon as he saw the title of the book and the author under the title, his hand trembled, this is a famous book Wow, the author is a level 7 magic master of the Donggu School of Magic a hundred years ago, and compared with the magic book he bought for 5 gold coins I don't know which nobody wrote it, it is a heaven, an underground, and the difference between cloud and mud.
Flipping it open, he glanced at it a few times, and Carrido's body trembled even more, although he only saw a few sentences, but each sentence was almost a truth, this was definitely a typical work, and there was no nonsense at all.
He was sure that by the time he finished reading this magic book, his knowledge of magic would definitely go up a big scale!
"How embarrassed am I?" Carrido is incoherent.
You must know that there are strong knowledge barriers in the wizarding world, and various magic academies have a monopoly on magical knowledge, which is not deliberate, but the product of long-term accumulation.
A magic academy spends a lot of money to create favorable conditions for magicians to study magic, and a magician studies magic here, it is naturally easy to produce results, and these results are recorded in books, and then hidden in the library, over time, the magic academy has a huge stock of magical knowledge.
These magic books are the core competitiveness of the academy, and the academy will never be able to pass it on easily, such as the magic book that Link took out, unless you enter the academy, you can't buy it with more money.
For a civilian, the process of pursuing magic is too difficult, even a peerless genius like Ellett has hit a wall at the East Valley School of Magic, not to mention a character with ordinary talent like Carrido, the hardships and ups and downs of the magic road are not enough for outsiders.
"I can only lend you one night, remember to give it back to me tomorrow morning." Link smiled. The magic book has a hidden magic mark, and he is not afraid that the book will be lost.
"Thank you, thank you very much. I will seriously consider joining the mercenary group. Carrido bowed deeply to Link, then carefully tucked the spellbook into his chest before turning away.
When he walked out of the courtyard of the Flamingo mercenary group and walked on the roads of Riverdale, all that came to his mind was the shadow of the black-haired and black-eyed boy.
He was not on earth, and he didn't know anything about the gentleman who was as gentle as jade, he just felt that when he stayed with the young magician, he was very comfortable and relaxed, especially when the other party saw his predicament at a glance, but he didn't say anything, but treated him as a friend, and took care of his face to the greatest extent.
"It's hard to imagine having such a lot of power and being so humble." He had never seen such a person before,
But he vaguely felt that in a few years, this young man would become a bright star in the magical starry sky.
'Am I witnessing a legend?' Carrido sighed lightly, and he began to seriously consider joining the Flamingo Mercenary Regiment.
