Chapter 5: Departure
Over the next month or so, Anduin was short of herbs for more and more time.
And through this lame excuse, Lin Li was constantly thrown in front of various demonic beasts by him.
From the lion scorpion to the three-eyed blood wolf, and then from the thunder beast to the bloodthirsty lizard, in more than a month, Lin Li has killed almost all the demonic beasts below level seven in the Luoyue Mountain Range.
From the beginning of the face of a heavily injured lion scorpion still in a bitter battle, to now easily killing a sixth-level thunder beast, Lin Li still mastered only those ten low-level spells, but Lin Li knew very well in his heart that he was becoming stronger, in the words of old Anduin, he was more like a real magician.
Every time he peeked through the crystal ball, Anduin would feel that this kid was a little strange again......
From the beginning of only knowing how to open the distance, hiding in the distance like an archer and shooting the wind blade, to then using magic to control it, and then let the enemy die in despair, such a transformation only took more than a month, you must know that even in today's magician association, there are still a considerable number of people, wearing the hat of magicians, but doing the work of archers.
Lin Li's progress was so fast that even the old mage couldn't adapt to it.
If the previous ones were just strange to the old mage.
Then three days ago, after Lin Li completely got rid of the shackles of the spell in the battle with the thunder beast, and released the sluggishness technique with just one gesture, the old mage finally began to be distressed.
"What else can I teach him?" Andu stared at the crystal ball in a daze, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out what else he could teach Lin Li.
Although it was only a retardation technique, the shock it brought to Anduin was no less than that of an eighteenth-level magic.
He clearly remembered that the first time he used a low-level spell was when he was thirty years old, when he had just become a magician.
In the next few days, the old mage was a little distressed, because he had no idea what else he could teach Lin Li.
And because of the old mage's distress, Lin Li also had a rare rest for a few days.
After practicing the elemental arrangement, Lin Li quietly went into the potion room, and used the ghost grass he got a few days ago to get himself a few bottles of swiftness potions, and Anduin had always forbidden him to use these things, on the grounds that relying too much on foreign objects such as potion scrolls would seriously affect the improvement of his magic level.
However, today's old mage seems to be a little absent-minded.
Lin Li was busy in the pharmacy room, and the old mage who should have come to stop him looked out of the door in a daze.
It wasn't until the bottles of swift potion were finished that the old mage seemed to suddenly come back to his senses.
"How many times have I told you that relying too much on potions doesn't do you any good, why don't you listen?" After saying this, the old mage sighed slightly: "But forget it, I can't use the crystal ball to spy on you every day in the future, in case you encounter any danger, maybe you really have to rely on these bottles of potions to save your life." ”
"What's going on?" In the past few days, Lin Li had always felt that the old mage's mood was a little wrong, and when he heard him say such a thing, Lin Li suddenly realized something, and he was a little stunned in a hurry, and even forgot to put the few bottles of swiftness potions in his bag.
At this time, Anduin looked a little old, I saw him sit down slowly with a chair, put the crystal ball that never left his side, and after doing all this, he did not answer Lin Li's question, but suddenly asked: "You have lived here for three months, right?" ”
"Almost." Lin Li responded, but his mind was not on this sentence, he looked at Anduin very strangely, and found that the old mage seemed to be a little tired today.
"When I first found you, I really didn't expect to pick up a magical genius worthy of Gresco." The old mage smiled, and the old man's voice carried a bit of emotion: "I still can't believe that you have never been exposed to magic before. ”
"That's because the conditions are limited, and no one can teach me......"
"I know you have some secrets hidden in you, and since you don't plan to tell them, I don't plan to know them." Probably taking Lin Li's truth as a pretext, Anduin waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to explain, and then said to himself: "At the beginning, I just couldn't bear to see you waste your talent, at that time, I didn't expect that you would do so well, until two days ago, I suddenly realized that I actually have nothing to teach you anymore!" ”
Lin Li wanted to be modest, but found that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so he simply closed his mouth and listened to Anduin honestly.
"I've been wondering what else I can teach you for the past two days, and it wasn't until this morning that the question stopped bothering me...... Because I received a letter this morning from an old friend, who told me that there was a very important matter that I needed to deal with. ”
"So you're going to kick me away?"
"Basically, that's what happened." After saying this, Anduin took out a thick envelope from the mage's robe: "Anyway, if you continue to stay in the Luoyue Mountains, you won't learn anything, so it is better for me to recommend you to go to a place where you can continue to study and do something you want to do." ”
"Where?"
"You take this letter and go to the Wizards Association of Garros City and find a person named Gray, who will arrange everything for you." Anduin handed the thick envelope to Lin Li: "By the way, there seems to be some problems with your identity, but it doesn't matter, if you don't want to use your original identity, you can use this one I prepared for you, put the information in the envelope, and you can memorize it yourself." ”
"Thank you." Listening to the old mage's chattering advice, Lin Li suddenly felt that his eyes were a little moist, in order not to make the atmosphere too embarrassing, he reluctantly squeezed out a little smile, and asked in a very casual tone, "When are you going to leave?" ”
"About half an hour later." The old mage smiled and patted Lin Li's shoulder: "But it's okay, this matter won't delay me too much, it is estimated that in a week or two, I will be able to return to Garros City, and then I will take you to my private apothecary, where I have hidden a set of amethyst beakers, which are treasures I spent a lot of money on......"
After what Anduin said again, Lin Li didn't remember it very well, and it wasn't until the old mage's back gradually blurred in his vision that Lin Li suddenly remembered something important.
