Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Planned Duel
Life at the Mage Academy was quiet and boring, and three days had passed since accepting the invitation to the gathering of the Cartier siblings.
For three days, Lin Yang was busy every day, shuttling back and forth in various classes, and the nine popular courses had already made him busy, plus a thief study, which could be said to occupy all his time.
When Lin Yang accepted this invitation, it was actually difficult for him to say what he thought in his heart, perhaps considering the relationship between the Carmen family and the Cartier family, where Hermes belonged, and wanted to see what tricks they were playing? Or is it out of curiosity to see what a party between the great nobles like the Sixteen is like? Or maybe you don't pay attention to it at all, and just go for a free meal when it's time to eat? Maybe it's all the same, maybe it's neither.
But one thing is for sure, this party can be regarded as a little spice in Lin Yang's mediocre life now, after all, he is so busy, so busy that every time he shuttles through the long corridors and corridors of Jackdaw Castle, many strange and familiar faces cast pity on him.
It can be said that Lin Yang has devoted himself to the ocean of knowledge, and almost used the time of others to eat and pick up girls.
Of course, although he learned a lot of knowledge, there were regrets, as time passed, Lin Yang mastered more and more magical knowledge, wind, fire, thunder, lightning and ice, and low-level spells were gradually absorbed by him, but the sage totem that he wanted to learn did not seem to open the door to him.
On this day, a course of the Sage Totem was exhausted, and Lin Yang took the lead in walking out of the classroom door.
Behind him, the students came out one after another, and there were many people with disappointment written on their faces, and there were very few who really felt that they had learned something, and some were even complaining.
"Damn, what a sage totem, what the mentor said is very good, how popular the totem master is, and he will have a bright future after graduation, he will teach us how to draw magic totems, clean nonsense."
"Yes, I've been listening to him for half a year in a row, and every time I talk about some nonsense that everyone understands, even if he doesn't get tired of it, we are tired of listening to it, it's all things that have no substantive meaning."
"Don't complain, in fact, that mentor is also very helpless, Sage Totem, one of the so-called nine popular courses, is actually just a name, do you want to become a totemist? Yes, first establish a good relationship with the top management of the academy, and then show your talent, if all the conditions are qualified, there may be a little chance, and I don't need to say more about the inside story! ”
"Hey, forget it, the conditions of the totem master are not ordinarily harsh, it is said that even the rich children of the sixteen wealthy families may not have a chance, let's forget it......"
Listening to the whispers of these people, Lin Yang also agreed in his heart.
The totem master is not a magician, as long as he has a little talent, he can learn magic and release a few fireballs and ice balls.
The so-called Sage Totem is to use magic paints, various magic materials, and magic pens to draw magic patterns on the surface of the human body to form a Sage Totem, so as to play a variety of amplification effects. The complex twists and turns are not something that ordinary people can understand, and just because all the magic patterns are done in one go and are completely intolerant, the vast majority of people are kept out.
Not to mention the almost demanding requirements of a totemist: a keen sense of magic, a steady hand, a brilliant eyesight, an indispensable imagination and creativity, and perseverance.
In fact, the Sage Totem has been linked to art, and a mage, to put it bluntly, is just a reckless man who can release spells.
For now, Lin Yang doesn't think that his current situation meets the minimum requirements to become a totem master.
"Lin Yang!" Around the corner, a soft cry was suddenly heard.
"Susan?" When Lin Yang saw the other party, he couldn't help but be stunned: "I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you doing lately?" ”
"Do me a favor, I'm in trouble." Susan looked left and right for a moment, and then said in a reluctant.
"What's wrong? Hermes is back in trouble with you again? Lin Yang said with a smile.
"Not this, but worse than this." Susan hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "There's someone who has a problem with me and is looking for me everywhere. ”
"Who?"
Susan's face flushed, but she didn't speak.
Seeing this, Lin Yang knew that nine times out of ten it was the other party's boyfriend, and couldn't help laughing: "Then come with me, my place is very big, and some rooms are empty, and the second time I invite you to live with me for a few days, it will be regarded as refuge." ”
"Hmm." Susan nodded and followed behind Lin Yang.
……
Along the way, the two didn't talk much, Susan lowered her head, struggled violently in her heart, and wanted to explain the matter to Lin Yang several times, but when she remembered the identity of O'Brien's sixteen giants, she wanted to stop talking.
"As long as I give an order, Lan Sen can kill Lin Yang immediately, and as long as you cooperate with me, Lin Yang will be a little humiliated, it will not endanger his life, death and humiliation, which one do you choose?" As soon as she thought of O'Brien's calm words containing murderous intentions, Susan trembled in her heart, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Lin Yang, you have caused a **** annoyance, the other party is a hundred or a thousand times more powerful than Hermes, everything is for you to live well, I can only compromise, don't hate me......"
Step out of the main fort of the college, a cobbled boulevard leads to the residential area.
The leaves of the snow maple trees on both sides of the road fell to the ground.
A tall nobleman with sword eyebrows, wearing a silk robe with his hands behind his back, walked leisurely from the end of the road, and in front of Lin Yang and the others, it was Ransen.
"This guy is the reason you betrayed me?" Ranson glanced at Lin Yang playfully and asked Susan.
"I ......," Susan said hesitantly as she hid behind Lin Yang.
"Stand up and speak, I won't eat you again."
So Susan plucked up the courage to stand up.
Lin Yang suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, if it was a ruffian, he just had to send it away, but if it was a small couple who had a conflict and quarrel, he didn't know how to deal with it, not persuasion, nor did he observe.
"What is this guy better than me in the world?" Lan Sen glanced at Lin Yang with contempt again, and said, "In terms of height, you can't compare to me; In terms of appearance, it can't compare to me; In terms of strength, I was already level 300 a month ago, and this guy is only level 200 no matter how you look at it. In terms of status, which family does he come from? ”
"He can't beat you in any way." Susan sighed, grabbed Lin Yang's arm, and then plucked up the courage to say, "But, Ranson, do you understand? You're so strong, I'm relying on you everywhere, it's really tiring, you should also think from my point of view, I've had enough, I've really had enough......"
"So you're officially betraying me?" Ranson asked.
Susan is silent, and silence is acquiescence.
"Very good, anyway, when we were together, I told you that my life does not allow betrayal, since you insist on it, then I have to ......" Before the words fell, Ranson raised his right hand high and slapped Susan!
"Smack!"
With a crisp sound, Susan was not fanned, Lin Yang saw that the situation was not right, raised his hand in time, clasped the other party's wrist, and said coldly: "Brother, it's normal to break up, and hitting a woman is not something a man should do." ”
"Oh? So you're often dumped by women, so experienced? Ranson sneered: "I forgot, this ** bed kung fu is first-class, even if it's just a broken shoe, it is also your blessing to be able to step on your cow dung." ”
Lin Yang suddenly flew up and kicked directly at Ransen's stomach!
Ranson leaned back, the soles of his shoes against the ground, and fell back more than ten meters away, still maintaining a standing posture.
Some of the students who were passing by gathered around one after another when they saw this.
"First of all, I'm not cow dung, and Susan is not a broken shoe, she can live well without you, and some people chase her." Lin Yang spat on the ground and said lightly: "And your current posture looks like a toad, everyone, do you say?" ”
The surrounding students couldn't help but laugh.
But soon someone couldn't laugh, and a few sharp-eyed people gradually recognized Ranson, who was a senior student, who could be called a senior, although he was not too famous in the senior class, and his strength could be regarded as upper-middle. There are even some people who have long been secretly speculating that Ranson has an inexplicable relationship with the brother and sister of the Cartier family.
Being taken advantage of by Lin Yang, Lan Sen didn't laugh angrily, he was still very calm, and said: "Since you insist on standing up for this woman, then I, the toad in your mouth, officially send you an invitation to duel, do you dare to accept it?" ”
The other party's calmness was much stronger than Hermes's, Lin Yang couldn't help frowning, it seemed that Ransen had no fear.
There are more and more passers-by around, and the momentum and opportunity seem to be moving closer to Ransen, Lin Yang's situation at the moment is very bad, originally he did it first, if he refuses, there is no good step at all, it is rumored that Lu will become the laughing stock of others, and if he accepts it, it seems that this is an unfair duel at all.
"Don't go, he's a full hundred levels higher than you, you can't beat him, he's provoking you, and when the time comes, he will humiliate you in public." Susan condensed her voice into a line and passed it into Lin Yang's ears.
"Of course I accept, why wouldn't I dare?" Lin Yang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
Susan sighed secretly, O'Brien's plan had succeeded after all.
In fact, Lin Yang made this decision, which was also well thought out, looking at the appearance of the other party, it is obvious that there are hole cards, but no matter how strong Ranson is, how can there be more hole cards than Lin Yang? And at the beginning, Lin Yang was a little hesitant, mainly because the hole cards on his body were too terrifying, all of them were unsightly things, what artifacts, sub-artifacts, anti-heaven props, which one could see the light? Of course, at this time and that time, the Jackdaw Fort Mage Academy, after all, the minimum law is still there, even if someone has a red eye, they will not blatantly come to grab it.
"Very well, then meet in the dueling arena in an hour." With that, Ranson left without looking back.
And the crowd of onlookers around also exploded at the same time.
Duels, no matter in which country, are a topic of conversation among the elites, and Jackdaw Castle is the top mage academy in the continent, and there are countless noble teenagers among them, and once a duel occurs, it will definitely be a sensation in the whole school.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for this duel to sweep through the whole school like a hurricane.
"Someone dueling? Who's with whom? ”
"A new student, it seems to be called Lin Yang, and that senior Ranson!"
"How many levels are they apart?"
"Level 100, a whole big class."
"Damn, the challenge is cross-step, it's something to see! For what duel is it for? ”
"It seems to be for a certain woman, I don't know ......"
"Hey, it's really red-faced, you can't find too beautiful horses in the future!"
"Don't talk nonsense yet, let's go to the dueling arena, it's going to start in an hour, I'm afraid there will be no place if it's late!"
