Chapter 22: Shadows in the Light
In the castle district in the center of Vendôme, there is a majestic mage tower with a gray-blue spire and made of white boulders, which belongs to the famous ** master Desentas of the Big 6.
As a first-class teacher, Disentas was known for his erudition and ambition, and he could find answers to almost all his questions, which earned him the nickname 'The Living Encyclopedia'.
He has disciples all over the world, and many accomplished magicians in the big 6 have been instructed by him, and when they see him, they will respectfully shout: Mentor.
Such a wise, tolerant, and generous ** teacher is naturally widely loved, in terms of strength, he is not as good as the green dragon incarnate Vianna, but in terms of prestige, Vianna, who has always kept a low profile, is far inferior to Discentas.
In the mage world, although it is not explicitly stated, the mages all tacitly agree that Descentas is the spiritual leader of the mages.
But today, in the gloomy underground chamber of the Mage Tower, the ** Master Disentas threw away the cloak of light and turned into darkness.
He wears a pitch-black hooded cloak with a black mist on it, which makes him look like a shadow.
In front of him was a strange-looking statue, a race that did not exist on the starry 6, he was roughly humanoid, but he had horse-like legs, hooves, and a knife-like horn in the middle of his head, and the face under the horns was hideous and terrifying, and he was making an angry roar, and the blood-red light in his eyes was radiating, no matter what angle he turned to, there was a feeling of being looked at.
This statue is literally alive.
Disentas stood in front of the statue with a respectful voice coming from the bottom of the hood: "Alous, Lord of Wrath, I have a message to tell. ”
With these words, the light in the statue's eyes became more and more dazzling, and a passive voice sounded in the secret room.
"Say, mortal, but the master doesn't like bad news."
"......" Disentas's body trembled slightly, and finally said: "Because of an accident, our plan was discovered by the ** division Vianna......"
"Stupid!" The voice suddenly became louder, with a furious rage, and exploded like thunder: "Disentas, you have failed to live up to your master's expectations. ”
"I know, I know, I'm guilty." Disentas was so stiff that he almost knelt on the ground. He had always avoided provoking Vianna, but his men, the cultists, did not fully grasp his intentions, and went to snatch Vianna's spell crystals with self-righteousness, and God knows, when he knew the news, he would like to burn the soul of that self-proclaimed fool in flames for a thousand years!
"Make amends for your fault, before it becomes unforgivable. With less than a year left, there must not be anything wrong with the master's plans. Alous's voice grew low and seemed to be calm, but Disentas could hear the storm hidden within.
"Yes, I will do my best, and I will never make another mistake this time."
"No, it has to be successful."
"Yes, it will work!" Disentas hurriedly assured.
The light in the eyes of the statue of Alous dimmed, and there was silence. Disentas stayed where he was for a long time before he regained his strength, stood up, and staggered out of the chamber.
When he got out of the secret room, he took off his black cloak, and when he reached the hall on the first floor, Disentas had already recovered his fù, he returned to his room, went to the window, thought about it, and a white light appeared on his hand, which turned into an ordinary bird, flapped its wings and flew out.
This is the communication method of the communication bird, a mage above the intermediate level, which is stealthy and effective.
………
Because the matter of the goblin camp has passed, and the mastermind behind the scenes has retreated, according to the cautious character of the opponent, it is inferred that Dai Wei should not be assassinated, so when the plan was agreed, Rollin followed Dai Wei back to her seaside villa.
Of course, just in case, Vianna gave Davi an instantaneous protective scroll, and in case of danger, activating the scroll would immediately get a powerful shield to protect her life.
Of course, Vianna did not forget Rollin, and also gave him a small gift, which was a crystal pendant, which was a magic instrument, the crystal in the pendant was full of life energy, wearing it, it could nourish the body, speed up the recovery of injuries, and at critical moments, the crystal would also break, releasing energy at one time to help him resist a fatal injury.
All in all, it's a good thing.
The carriage was speeding away, and Rollin was fortunate to sit in the same carriage with Dai Wei, and after leaving the castle area, Dai Wei sighed, looked at Rollin and sighed: "My little tiger, I know that your talent is far more than a warrior who cares for the house, you are growing rapidly, I am happy for you, but also a little sad." It won't be long before you're leaving me. ”
Perhaps because they had faced life and death together, Dai Wei no longer treated Luo Lin with courtesy as before, but expressed her heart and did not hide her thoughts.
Lorin sensed the change, it was a sign of intimacy, this mage apprentice was no longer condescending to talk to him as he had been in the past.
He said sincerely: "No matter what happens to me in the future, I will always remember your help to me." ”
"With your words, I feel much better." Dai Wei smiled slightly, but she could see that her love was still not high.
Nothing to say all the way.
When he arrived at the villa, Rollin naturally became the new captain of the guard, protecting Dai Wei with him.
Naturally, he also got better treatment, there was a new room on the third floor of the villa, and Dai Wei also specially instructed the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous food for him alone, which made the other three guards in the villa envious, but they couldn't be jealous, because this young man named Rollin was so strong that he could kill the assassin with one against two, not to mention, and defeat Harlem, this force is really terrifying!
Next, Rollin began to meditate and cultivate his body, and he would practice martial arts in his backyard.
Originally, it shouldn't be here, because this place would make a noise to Dai Wei, who was studying in the alchemy room, but Dai Wei didn't care, she liked the sound that often came from the window, and she could often feel the presence of this guard, not only would it not distract her, but it would make her feel very secure.
Five days passed in a flash, and Rollin's body not only completely recovered, but also reached a new peak.
In the martial arts training ground, Luo Lin felt that he was full of energy, the steel sword in his hand became as light as a feather, and the shield was as dexterous as it was in his hand.
In the past few days of practice, his proficiency in various basic sword skills and shield skills has greatly increased, reaching the level of proficiency, and the combat skill 'stabbing' has even reached the threshold of proficiency, reaching the level of 'elite', and he moves faster and more deadly.
"Zhi Brain, how has my physical quality improved?" Luo Lin felt that his body was better than ever, and in the past few days, he has eaten a lot of fish and meat, coupled with the nourishment of the life pendant and the assistance of his brain, his weight has increased by at least ten catties.
Now his figure has changed greatly, and he can't see a little thinness, and he can even make people feel a sense of strength.
In Dai Wei's words, he rose up like a balloon, and now, his former acquaintances would definitely not recognize him, and the mentor's transfiguration spell could be directly dispensed with.
"Zhi Brain, how is the progress of my physical quality improvement?" Luo Lin asked, he asked with concern, the quality of his body is related to the amount of money he can improve with each upgrade, and it is more important than other improvements.
"Current Progress: 55/1oo, Estimated Completion Time: One Week."
"How is it so much slower than the previous one?" Rollin was puzzled.
"Reason 1: Repair the body's dark wounds and spend extra energy. Reason 2: The current host level is level 6, the starting point is increased, and more energy is needed to strengthen. ”
"Understood." Luo Lin suddenly, the reason is very simple, a mouse and an elephant, the same quality, obviously strengthen the elephant needs much more energy.
On the afternoon of the fifth day, Luo Lin practiced martial arts as usual, and a bird covered with emerald green feathers flew over and landed on the arm of the stake dummy in front of Luo Lin.
"It seems that you have been doing well these days." It's Vianna's voice, because it comes out of the bird's mouth, and the sound quality is a little more crisp.
"Thanks to you, I feel like I'm more powerful than ever." Rollin laughed. The bird was Vianna's magical messenger, and it was done to keep the plan a secret.
"That's really good news. Dai Wei is right, you do look a lot stronger, your appearance has changed a lot, you only need a little adjustment, no one will recognize you. The bird laughed, and the bird's claws moved, grabbing a small scroll from its ankle.
"This is a transformation scroll, it works very well, it lasts for a month, you take it, use it at the right time."
"Understood." Rollin took the scroll.
"Good. Follow the plan we've agreed upon and get started. I look forward to your good news. ”
"I won't let you down, Your Excellency." Rollin saluted.
The memories of his previous life are not comprehensive, most of them can only be used as some references, and the longer the time, the more history is changed, and the less valuable it will be, but now, this memory can help Luo Lin quickly find the entry point to track down the destruction of the Miè God Cult, which is his biggest advantage at present.
The bird chirped a few more times, flew around Rollin a few times, and headed away.
