Chapter 68: The Hidden Guardian (I)

Although Link had fought the Syndicates in the Valley of the Red Leaves, Riverdale had not yet received the news and was still as peaceful as usual.

Link and the others first went to the courtyard purchased by the mercenary team, and when the three of them arrived, they saw the gate of the courtyard wide open, guarded by two soldiers in steel armor at the door, and there were three carriages parked by the door, Link recognized one of them as Annie's, but he had never seen the other two.

In his confusion, he saw a white-robed priest coming out of the courtyard gate.

Link knew the priest as the patriarch of the church of Aixero, the god of the dawn in town, named Peter, and was a level 3 priest.

Akhero, the god of the dawn, is a member of the Radiant Gods, and the motto of faith is 'At the end of the dark dawn, the first ray of light shines on the world'.

Legend has it that he was the son of Agilia, the Lord of Light and the goddess of the hunt, and that he had a gentle personality, and that the priests who believed in him were particularly adept at healing magic.

Peter looked a little tired, the aura on his body was dim, he should have just released a powerful magic spell, Link felt at ease, a smile appeared on his face, and said to Ark beside him: "Princess Anne has invited the priest to come over, it seems that Lucy's injuries are no longer in trouble." ”

When the three of them approached, Peter had already gotten into one of the carriages and left, and there was a strange carriage outside the courtyard, which looked ordinary, and there was no sign on the outside of the carriage, and Link was very strange.

At this time, he had been recognized by the guard at the door, who immediately saluted Link and said loudly, "Mr. Link." ”

His voice was not soft, the people in the courtyard could easily hear it, and as soon as he finished speaking, a figure rushed out, it was Anne, as soon as she saw Link, she looked him up and down, saw that he was not injured, her face softened slightly, and then asked, "How is the situation?" ”

She had also just come back, and she was going to go to Momiji Valley after settling Lucy, but she didn't expect Link to come back so quickly.

"It's okay, Ander and his men are dead, and Anduson is leading the militia into the forest to search for the Syndicate's lair." Link said as he led Ark and Gridan into the courtyard.

Under the effect of the elemental healing, Ark's condition has improved a lot, his injuries are not serious, and what he needs most is to recuperate, so Link sent him to rest, and as for Gridan, he went to deal with the loot.

Link and Anne walked to Lucy's room, and as soon as they reached the hall on the first floor, Link clearly felt an obscure aura of magic coming from the direction of Lucy's room.

Feel the magic energy, this is a natural sensitivity of magicians, Link is especially keen, the scale of this magic energy does not seem to be large, he almost does not feel anything when he is outside the courtyard, but at this time, judging from the breath leaked by the other party, the person in the room is definitely a magic master!

Thinking of the strange carriage outside the courtyard, Link asked, "Is there anyone else in the room?" ”

Anne smiled slightly: "I can't hide it from you, there is indeed a guest, and I think you should be happy to meet her." As for who it is, you'll know when you see it. ”

Curious, Link walked up to the second floor and gently pushed open the door, revealing the situation in the room.

Because of the abundant funds, the Flamingo mercenaries purchased this courtyard is very large, and the building in it is also very good, it is a structure of earth and stone mixed with giant wood, and there are two floors, and Lucy's room is on the sunny side of the second floor, the room is very spacious, and there is a screen inside, which divides the room into a bedroom and an outer hall.

After entering the room, Link couldn't see the situation in the bedroom, in the outer hall, he saw a woman, this woman had long blond hair, a delicate face, wearing a blue silver magic robe, an indescribable elegance, although the light in the outer hall was a little dim, but this woman seemed to be covered with a layer of bright light, so that people could not feel the gloom in the room at all.

When Link saw him, the woman was sitting at the table, looking through a roll of parchment, and when she heard movement, she looked up, and when she saw Link about to speak, she smiled and whispered, "Shhh, Lucy just fell asleep." ”

Link immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Judging from the magic aura, he knew that this female magician was not simple, and the other party's magic cultivation should far exceed him, and he had a vague feeling for the other party's identity, because he recognized the parchment in the other party's hand, and he was very familiar with that thing.

The woman stood up, walked to the door, and said, "Lucy is fine, and now she needs to recuperate the most." Let's go to the lobby on the first floor. ”

Of course, Link had no opinion, and the three of them went to the hall on the first floor, and when they got to the hall, the woman introduced herself: "My name is Moira, I guess you listen to my name." ”

Of course Link had heard of it, and Ellett's magic mentor was called Moira, and although the two had never met, the two had exchanged letters several times, and the other party had helped him answer many magical questions.

"Thank you very much for your patience." Link hurriedly got up and saluted Moira, and honestly, those answers really helped him a lot, saving him a lot of detours in the process of learning magic.

Moira smiled even more, reached out for Link to sit down again, and then pushed the parchment in his hand over, Link glanced at it and recognized it as the law of gravitation that he had sorted out earlier, but he didn't understand Moira's intentions.

"Is this really how the stars in the sky work?" Jasmine asked, and when it came to such serious academic issues, she looked serious and focused.

Link's heart perked up, and he was also focused, he nodded, extremely confident: "I have consulted the observation data of the observer Tilegu for fifty years, and finally come to the conclusion that if God really delineates a route for each star in the starry sky, then its route plan can only be the law of gravity that I have summarized. ”

The starry sky is mysterious and profound, and there are people in every world who are attracted to it, and the Tileu Valley is one of them, he was a scholar three hundred years ago who spent his life observing the starry sky. In his later years, he wrote a book called "The Dream of the Stars", which, although the name is somewhat literary, is a serious academic book, in which it records the movement of celestial bodies recorded in the fifty years of observation in the Tyre Valley.

In the world of Ferroman, the study of the Tyle Valley is not very important, but because of his detailed and accurate observations, and the writing is quite good, this "Dream of the Stars" is widely circulated, and it is also available in the town of Riverdale, so Link bought a copy and cost him 5 silver coins, which helped him greatly when writing his thesis.

A hint of surprise flashed in Moira's eyes, but she quickly disguised her emotions and continued, "But I can see that it is far from perfect. ”

She didn't seem to be very interested in the starry sky, which was normal, the stars in the sky were too far away and had little to do with magic.

Link nodded, "Yes, it only summarizes some superficial phenomena, but why this is the case, and where the root cause is, it is difficult to explain. ”

"I heard from Ellette that you still have some unfinished conjectures on your hands, can you show me?" As she spoke, Moira's gaze was fixed on the fine gold chain of the pendant that was revealing from Link's neck.

"I'm working on it." Link wanted to say that his manuscript was in the attic of the Riverdale Inn, but the other party's gaze told him that he couldn't hide the powerful magician from the spatial artifact, so under Annie's surprised gaze, he took out the rest of the paper from the spatial pendant.

Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, and Anne, as a princess, will not covet him with a space pendant, let alone Moira.

Moira was not surprised, she took the parchment and looked at it as if no one was around, and it took more than an hour to look at it.

After more than an hour, she put down the parchment and let out a long breath: "This thing is enough for any magic academy on the continent to open its doors to you." ”

Link was overjoyed to hear this, "You mean, I can enter the East Valley School of Magic?" ”

Moira nodded: "Actually, before I came, the paper on this law of gravity had been circulated by all the magic instructors in the academy, and Dean Anthony personally nodded and agreed to your admission, but given your humble magical talent, it is inevitable that the other apprentices will be unbalanced, and your tuition fee will be as high as 2,000 gold coins, I think you should be able to bear this expense, right?" ”

Hearing this, Anne was unhappy on the side: "How can it be so expensive?" It's not fair! ”

"Actually, that's what Dean Anthony meant." Moira spread her hands, her face helpless.

As soon as she heard that it was Anthony's decision, Annie immediately fell silent, it was a level 7 great magician, and his status in the kingdom was extremely high, and what he decided, even his father couldn't change it, forget it, it's a big deal that she can come out with this money, isn't it just 2000 gold coins, and the amount of money she has saved over the years is almost this amount.

Link has no opinion on this, he has long been eager to enter the Academy of Magic, and now that he has the qualifications to enter the Academy, where will he be extraneous because of some gold coins?

"I agree." Link nodded.

However, there was something strange in his heart, his upper limit of magic energy was now as high as 148 points, although he didn't have much magic energy in his body, but this Moira, as a level 5 magician, couldn't be unable to see it.

He is only 17 years old, and he has the magic energy equivalent to a level 2 magician, and Greenstone's matter even shows level 2 magic, and even uses a level 4 fire explosion technique, these things, people who are interested only need to check it out, how can the other party think that his magic talent is low?

Suddenly, Link heard Moira say to Anne, "Your Highness Princess, then I'll go back first." Link, you send me to the entrance of the town, and along the way, I will tell you about the specific study rules of the magic academy. ”

This reason is very legitimate, Anne has no doubts, and Link doesn't think it's too strange, so he nods, "Of course." ”

He escorted Moira out of the courtyard to the carriage outside the door, and Moira beckoned him to get in.

After sitting in the carriage, Moira snapped her fingers, and Link immediately felt that the carriage was quiet, and the voices of people outside the carriage, the sound of horses' hooves, and the vibration of the wheels of the carriage were all gone.

Link felt a pang in his heart, knowing that this was the effect of the mute barrier, which meant that Moira had something important to say to him.

He endured not to ask, waiting for the other party to speak.

After waiting for a full minute, Moira laughed, "Young man, it's very calm, not bad. I guess you should be weird right now, I'd say you're not gifted with magic, right? ”

"Indeed, you can see through my spatial magic weapon at a glance, and it is impossible not to see this obvious thing." Link Road.

"Because you will become the basic apprentice of the magician Bell, and only you with low talent can not be valued by him, and you can approach him silently." Moira suddenly uttered something shocking.

Link shook and looked at Moira incredulously, he had long felt that this woman was not simple, but he didn't expect it to come to this extent.

In the previous game, the level 6 great magician Bell was a traitor to the Academy of Magic, and he quietly studied black magic, which eventually led to a catastrophic magical accident, and from what Moira said, it shows that she has become suspicious of Bell.

"I don't understand." Link couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure out why the other party would choose him, why the other party trusted him, and why she could see through Bell.

You know, the great magician Anthony doesn't have this ability, and in the previous life game, when Bell tried to summon demons, the matter was finally revealed, and before that, no one knew Bell's hidden secrets.

With this eyesight, why is there no name in the game in the previous life? Who the hell is this Moira?

Moira saw Link's doubts, and she smiled slightly, "Because I am not a pure human, but the hidden guardian of the Radiant World, the Angel of Light!" ”

“!!!” Link's eyes widened.
