Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Turning Point of the Girl's Fate (I)
That day, he reached out and pulled me out of the mire of fateβthe Frost Queen Love. Caslin
Flamingo Mercenary Regiment Station.
Link naturally didn't know that he was being plotted, and in this courtyard, the people around him were either his loyal followers or were in awe of him, and he was very relaxed.
Looking at the beautiful girl who was bluffed by his previous behavior and didn't dare to move, Link unleashed the mage's hand, gently took the small wooden bow that the little girl was holding tightly in her hand, and hung it on the weapon rack next to him, and then, a short wooden stick engraved with Mithril runes suddenly appeared in his hand.
This is a basic wand, which can roughly increase the magic power by about 20%, and it is the work of his previous practice of learning enchantment.
Handing the wand to the already stunned water spirit girl, Link smiled, "Bows and arrows are not for you. From today onwards, you can learn magic from me. β
The girl froze, her bright eyes that seemed to be shrouded in mist, and her face was full of disbelief.
Facing the wand handed by the other party, Love didn't dare to reach out to take it, she heard her own voice as light as a mosquito: "My lord, is this true?" β
It costs a lot of money to learn magic, and it is a powerful power that only nobles can learn. She never imagined that one day a powerful magician would be willing to take her as a disciple, and gave her a wand as soon as they met.
It's a wand!
When she was 9 years old, her father took her to the southern paradise of freedom, Morendan, where they passed by a shop run by a magician. At that moment, young Love curiously glanced into the shop, just in time to see a richly dressed magician neatly stacking a pile of golden coins on the table, numbering at least 30 or more, and he had only purchased a magic scroll.
At that time, her father also saw it, and at that moment, her omnipotent father in her mind turned his head a little humbly at that moment.
This incident had a huge impact on her young mind, and from that time on, she had the inherent impression that everything related to demons was settled in gold coins, and that she would never be able to touch that high realm from a family of ordinary merchants.
In fact, her father once told her that the cheapest wand was worth more than 50 gold coins, and their family, even if it was the luckiest year, did not earn more than 15 gold coins a year.
But now, this young man, who behaved strangely but had a gentle smile on his face, wanted to teach her magic, and gave her an expensive wand.
It's as dreamlike as unbelievable.
"Take it, it's yours." Link stressed again that the beautiful girl looked like a frightened white rabbit, and Link tried to slow down his tone as much as possible, with a hint of a smile on his face. and hand the wand to the other person's hand.
In other words, this girl's hands are also good-looking, the fingers are like onion tubes, and the roots of the fingers are slightly concave to form finger sockets, white and tender, and people can't help but want to hold it in their hands and have a good time.
'Such a beautiful little girl, why didn't she appear in the game in her previous life?' Link sighed regretfully.
However, if you think about it, you can understand that without Lucy's interference, she should have been sold to some rich man in Hot Springs City as a slave girl, this kind of beautiful and delicate but powerless little girl will be resold as a rich man's commodity, and will be played with by all kinds of people, but people are not commodities after all, such a toss, she will die in less than three years, and then be buried in someone's garden as flower fertilizer.
In the Celestial Continent, such female slaves abound, their lives are as insignificant as a feather, and it is natural that her shadow will not appear in history.
On this side, Love still couldn't believe that this was true, but the other party's words gave her courage, and after hesitating for a while, she cautiously reached out, and after taking the wand, she withdrew her hand like lightning and held the wand in her arms.
In her eyes, this ordinary wand was as powerful as the king's scepter, and her body trembled slightly, and it took all her strength to hold this wand steady, the wand was very light, and the runes on it shone with mysterious brilliance, all of which told her that she was about to enter the mysterious magical world.
A month earlier, when her parents had been killed and she had been taken north by slave traders, she felt that her world had completely collapsed, she missed her father day and night, and often secretly wept over her tragic fate, thinking that she would never see the light of day again in her life.
But two weeks ago, Sister Lucy had saved her, she felt the favor of the Lord of Radiance, and she began to practice archery in the hope of becoming a powerful mercenary and avenging her parents if she had the opportunity in the future.
But her body has been the pearl of her parents' palms since she was a child, she has never done any rough work, her body is too weak, she can only pull the weakest bow, although she has practiced hard every day, her palms are worn out, and her arms are so sore that she can barely lift them, but the progress is minimal.
If it weren't for Sister Lucy's constant defense of her, maybe she would be the lowest-ranking maid in the mercenary group now, but Sister Lucy couldn't always favor her, and if she couldn't control the power, she was doomed to become a marginal member of the mercenary group.
Strong, vengeful, everything will turn into a fantasy.
But just when she was feeling so confused about the future, she had the opportunity to learn powerful magic, and she didn't know how to describe her bizarre encounter.
Link laughed, his face was full of lighthearted smiles, as if he had done an ordinary little thing, he casually turned the matchstick in his hand, and said to Lucy, "I'm hungry, is lunch ready?" β
Lucy smiled softly, "Wait a minute, sir." β
She turned around and went to the kitchen, and Link was back, and she was going to cook herself.
Link walked into the room under the awe-inspiring gaze of the new team members, and after taking a few steps, he beckoned to Love, who was still in a daze: "Come along, little one." β
Love pursed her delicate lips a little nervously, her body as if out of control, keeping up with Link's footsteps.
At this moment, there was a thought in the girl's mind: "He will teach me magic, I must follow him." β
As for Link calling her a little guy, Love didn't feel strange at all, and the rest of the mercenary group didn't feel any abruptness, although Link himself looked like he was only 17 or 8 years old, but under his aura of power, everyone looked at him with an upward gaze, age or something, and he was directly ignored.
Here, Link asks Gridan, "Isn't Ark here?" β
"Well, someone found the news of the Howling Wind Cliff, he followed him to check it, calculate the time, and in three days, he should be back."
"Oh, that's good." Link doesn't worry much about Ark's safety, a level 4 warrior, magic equipment, and a wealth of experience in fighting magicians, even if he does meet Philidia, he will definitely be able to get out of the way.
After that, it's lunchtime, and the delicious food keeps Link satisfied.
After eating and drinking, Link said to Love, who was still a little nervous, "I'm going to rest for a while, and in two hours, you come to my room to find me." β
"Yes, sir." Love nodded solemnly.
"Don't call me sir, I'm your magic mentor from today onwards." Link corrected the girl's statement, and as he spoke, he had a gentle smile on his face, and the 'matchstick' in his hand lightly touched the girl's white porcelain forehead.
"It's a mentor." Love immediately changed her words, feeling an indescribable warmth in her heart, she glanced up at Link, and saw a very young face, which didn't seem to be much older than her, although the appearance was very ordinary, but the other party's black eyes, dark and clear, exuded a breathtaking luster, like two flawless black diamonds, very good-looking.
Suddenly realizing that she had been watching for too long, it was very rude, and Lefu's delicate face, which seemed to be able to pinch out water, showed a hint of redness, and she hurriedly lowered her head.
