Chapter Ninety-Seven: Cultivating Your Own Strength
The Gwent Forest always seems to be sunny, and the gentle sunlight is like a mother's hand, gently caressing all life in the forest.
After a period of intrigue in the Bell Magic Tower, and returning to the glorious Gwent Forest again, Link was in a very comfortable mood, and everything was pleasing to the eye, even the few guys who were suspected of being bandits on the road, Link was kind enough not to meddle.
A little over an hour later, the carriage drove Link back to Riverdale.
The town was as peaceful and lively as ever, with people still drinking and going crazy at the entrance of the Riverdale Inn, the market was full of people, and there were all kinds of official documents hanging at the door of the town hall, with bounties and announcements, until the far corner of the town, Link saw the courtyard of the Flamingo mercenaries.
The yard has changed a bit, the area has been much larger than before, there are many more wooden houses next to it, and a large courtyard with a wooden fence has appeared in the forest behind the yard.
It looked more lively than before, with people coming in and out from time to time, and all of them were unfamiliar faces, and there was a flag hanging by the door, on which a flamingo was drawn flying with its wings spread.
During this time, Lucy often wrote to him to introduce the situation, and Link knew that during this time, the Flamingo had been recruiting troops, and had accepted more than 20 new members in a month, and it could no longer be called a mercenary team, it should be called a small mercenary group.
The carriage stopped at the door, and the people at the door looked curiously at the carriage marked with the Donggu Academy of Magic, wanting to see the appearance of the mage master who came out of the carriage.
Link opened the door and walked out, he had grown a little longer, his body was much stronger, he didn't look as weak as before, he was wearing a new cloth robe with a unique style, and he had a magic wand in his hand, and he really had a bit of a magician's demeanor.
The movement at the door had already alarmed the mercenary group, and as soon as Link got out of the carriage, Lucy and Gridan appeared at the door.
"Why did you come back all of a sudden?" Lucy was a little surprised, she looked Link up and down, and then she was relieved, it seems that life in the magic academy is very good,
"Come back, hmm, is this pretty little girl a new member?" Link walked into the courtyard and saw a beautiful chick of fifteen or sixteen years old practicing archery by a stake next to the yard.
There's no way, in the middle of a group of big and rough old people with rough faces, a little girl with moist skin and delicate face suddenly appeared, and it was not obvious to be inconspicuous.
Of course, the girl's archery skills look very ordinary, but the person looks really watery, just a budding flower bone, and there is still a trace of stubbornness on her face that seems to be able to pinch out the water, and she is very focused on practicing.
Gridan laughed, "I'll just say, the adults will definitely see our little Lefu for the first time when they come back." ”
Then he smiled and introduced to Link, "Love, from the Southern Liberty League, was brought by slave traders to be sold to Hot Springs, and Lucy relented and bought her. Hiss~ You don't know, this chick spent 100 gold coins, it's really expensive. ”
The more Gridan spoke, the more painful he felt, if it weren't for the fact that this little girl was really good at all, at least she could be eye-catching, he would never agree to buy it, they were not priests who saved the world, they were mercenaries who worked hard to make money.
Lucy was a little embarrassed, 100 gold coins was not a small amount, and she looked at Link with some uneasiness, for fear that he would accuse her of spending money indiscriminately.
At that time, when she saw the poor and confused eyes of this little girl in the bazaar, she didn't think about anything, and the only thought in her mind was to save her.
In this little girl, she seems to see the hesitant self back then, she can be sure that if she doesn't interfere, this little girl will eventually go to the mansion of a certain noble lord in Hot Spring City, become his confined, maybe she will be favored for a while, but she has no strength, her fate will be as weak as paper, once the noble lord is tired, or his wife is jealous, then this little girl is very likely to die.
She had been through similar days herself, so she didn't want to see the girl go through the same misery as her, and she happened to be able to save her, so she insisted on buying the girl despite Gridan and Ark's resistance.
Until now, she still has no regrets.
Unexpectedly, the smile on Link's face became more and more intense, he ignored the eyes of others, walked to the side of the water spirit girl, circled around the girl, and a pair of black eyes looked each other up and down, his gaze looked very aggressive, and he did not avoid some sensitive parts of the girl's body.
Seeing Link's appearance, Gridan couldn't help but touch his nose and whispered to Lucy, "Okay, my lord has finally opened his mind." ”
Ever since he met Link, there never seemed to be a woman in the other party's eyes, even for Lucy, who was hot and good-looking, he never looked at it much, and he didn't seem to have any interest in women.
But now it seems that it's not that adults are not interested in women, it's just that they haven't found the right person. This Lefu seems to be the right person.
Lucy's heart was a little sour, and she gave Gridan a blank look: "Shut your stinky mouth!" ”
On this side, Lefu is also very nervous, she is not stupid, she naturally knows that Link is a magician, and judging by the awe of the people around her, this magician should be the leader of the legendary Hu Flamingo mercenary group!
She had already stopped practicing her arrows, and her little white hands clutched the delicate wooden bow, and her little head hung low, not daring to look at Link's gaze.
At this time, she was like a frightened and confused fawn, helplessly waiting for the verdict of fate.
Here, after looking at it for a full minute, Link finally stopped looking at it with his eyes, but began to move.
He reached out and touched Lef's forehead, then his arms, then his back, not only but his pinch, and finally his hips and legs.
This action looks like obscenity, but Link looks serious, and the situation is very strange.
Gridan was also dumbfounded, and whispered: "My lord, something is wrong today, is it that there are no women in the magic academy, so he is suffocated?" ”
Lucy glared at Gridan fiercely: "Your Excellency is not this kind of person, he must have discovered something!" I've always said that Love is something special, and you just don't believe it. ”
In fact, this is one of the reasons why Lucy insisted on buying Love.
On this side, Love was almost crying, standing still and not daring to move, she felt as if there was something in the other person's hand, touching any part of her body, something got into it, which made her body a little uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to move.
Finally, Link withdrew his 'groping hand', nodded earnestly, and said to Lucy, "Lucy, this little girl is worth buying, she has a good talent for magic. ”
Gridan's eyes widened, isn't it, magical talent is very scarce, how can Lucy buy one at random and be able to buy it?
But after thinking about it, Gridan was relieved again: "There must be something special about being able to grow so watery, or Lucy's eyes are poisonous!" ”
Lucy was overjoyed: "Really? I just thought she was a little special. ”
100 gold coins to buy a beautiful girl is really a luxury, but if you buy a magician's seedling, it is a big profit.
Link nodded, Lucy had some magical talent of her own, and this time she had made a meritorious service.
Originally, Link was interested in teaching Lucy magic, but Lucy was 28 years old, and he had no interest in the difficult and boring theory of magic, so he had to give up, but now there is a Lefu, who looks like he is only 15 years old, but it is the golden age of learning magic, and his talent is several times better than Lucy, which is really wonderful.
When he saw Love for the first time, the other party's outstanding appearance did not affect him in any way, and he was surprised by the woman's natural attraction to the water element, which was at least 50% stronger than other places around her.
After that, his hand was not touching, but using magic energy to detect the elemental nodes in the opponent's body, and with this detection, he found that Lefu naturally had a water elemental flow core in his body, and in each core, there was a trace of naturally appearing magic energy.
This is a very good talent for water magic, and if this little girl is given the conditions to learn magic, she will definitely become a very good water magician.
Everyone has a love for talent, and when a good material appears in front of him, any craftsman will itch to carve it, and as his strength continues to grow stronger, he encounters more and more opponents, Link has no skills to do it alone, and he already has a plan to cultivate his own strength.
Therefore, he suddenly became a disciple.
"This should be my chief disciple, haha." Link was happy in his heart.
At this moment, another carriage from the East Valley School of Magic arrived in Riverdale Town, the difference was that this carriage stopped outside the town, and a young magician came down from it, it was Daris.
"You go back." Daris sent the coachman away.
Then, he unleashed an illusion on himself, disguised as an ordinary traveler, he walked to Riverdale, grabbed a random pedestrian and asked, "Hey, I want to find Link, the magician, do you know where he is?" ”
He'd investigated, and Link had done a lot of great things, so everyone in Riverdale knew him.
"I don't know."
"Didn't he go to the Academy of Magic?"
"Oh, what a coincidence you're here, he's just returned from the academy and is now in the Flamingo Mercenary Regiment."
When asked about the third person, Darys was given Link's position.
"Thank you very much." Darys nodded.
He didn't go to the mercenary group's station, because he had investigated the other party and knew that there were no big names in the mercenary group, and it was impossible for Link's mastermind to be there.
What's more, he wouldn't go to war with the other party in Riverdale, that would have too much impact, and he wouldn't be able to explain his motives if the academy tracked him down.
"I'll just wait for you to go back to the academy." Thinking so, Darith turned and walked out of Riverdale, walking along King's Road for about five miles, before he went into the thick bushes by the side of the road and hid.
His plan is simple, capture the opponent alive, press the mastermind behind the scenes, and then think about the next step.
Of course, that kid will resist, but a second-level magician, he will tell him with facts what is called level suppression.
