Volume 1 Outpost County Chapter 17 The Magician's Challenge
After Eren crossed over to the continent of San Cassis, he never left the Outpost County, and spent most of his time in the castle thinking about life.
For everything in the outside world, most of them are a fusion of the memories of the original owner and the books in the castle.
In his eyes, the cavalry, who had suffered heavy casualties and were surrounded by flames not far away, were too amateurish.
Not only are they amateurs, but even those sneak attackers who hide in the shadows are also amateurs.
The look of disdain on his face showed that Eren looked down on this group of unlucky ghosts who were about to suffocate in the flames.
Yorkshire noticed Allen's expression and asked respectfully, "Lord Allen, how do you know that the Grand Duke has privately sent an elite escort team to protect you?" ”
"Huh?" Alan said inexplicably: "I see that those books and novels in the castle are written like this, what's wrong?" ”
"No, nothing!" Yorkshire was speechless.
Are the protagonists of the novels the same as you? Which of the protagonists is not amazingly talented.,It's just that it takes time to grow up.,It's just that it's just fledgling for the time being.,That's why they're protected.。
What about you? What are people protecting you for? Protect you in order to live longer, so that you can return to the royal city for a lot of time in the future to change tricks and toss the Grand Duke?
"In the General Administration Hall, who is that guy in black?" The old butler walked over silently, frowning slightly.
"Oh, it seems to be called Hales, a water magician." Yorkshire asked, "Do you know each other?" ”
The old butler did not answer him, but said to Allen: "End this farce as soon as possible, the trouble is not only in front of you." ”
Alan nodded, and he noticed that Hales in the General Hall was holding his wand high, and he didn't know what was muttering.
He was very sensitive to the magic element, and he felt that the water element in the space was extremely unstable, and began to gather in the distance.
Alan looked at Hales with a complicated expression.
After chanting the incantation, Hales's staff pointed directly at the wall of flames, and the water elemental gathered in the space turned into a huge wave tens of meters high, extinguishing the raging flames.
However, there were only a few knights who survived, and the others were already like dried corpses, holding their throats with both hands, and their faces were hideous, obviously in great pain before they died.
Even the knights who escaped to heaven were glazed over, unable to breathe, and coughing heartbreakingly.
"Fire magic is so domineering!" Alan muttered to himself.
The old butler laughed twice and said, "The fire system is domineering? My second young master, then you haven't seen bloodline magic and undead magic. ”
"More powerful than fire?"
Old Lacey nodded heavily.
"What's the use, I won't." Alan pouted.
"You want to learn?" Old Lacey looked at Alan with a smirk.
"It's not a question of whether you want to learn or not, the problem is that no one teaches me, and besides, I can't summon spells."
"Let's not talk about this question for a while, if I teach you, will you be willing to learn?"
Alan pretended to be excited and asked, "Really?" Dina didn't say you're just a half-water magician, did she? Can you do necromancy and bloodline magic? ”
Seeing Allen's excited appearance, the old butler looked like a master and said indifferently: "What does Nana know, if I don't know, how can I teach you wild words." ”
"Great, haha." Alan slapped Yorkshire's thigh hard.
Yorkshire glared angrily, you are happy when you are happy, what are you doing with my thigh.
"Good!" The old butler was also very happy, Alan was the most talented apprentice he had ever seen, although he couldn't release magic, but that high and surprisingly high elemental affinity was what others dreamed of, magic was ever-changing, who said that only through chanting could summon spells.
Old Lacey, who finally had someone to inherit the mantle, smiled on his face, and the more he looked at Allen, the more satisfied he was like an old man looking at his son-in-law, and said kindly: "Then when I go back in the evening, I will give you the introductory spell." ”
Confused, Alan asked, "Huh?" Why. ”
Old Lacey was dumbfounded, and muttered, "Aren't you going to learn?" ”
"No, who said I was going to learn."
"Then you ask me if I'm going to do something?"
"Oh, I just want to know your roots." Alan patted the old butler's shoulder sympathetically and continued: "You can do it, I have worked hard to learn what to do, and you can do it if you have something in the future." ”
Old Lacey rolled his eyes, he felt that the young people now were becoming more and more cunning.
"I didn't hear anything." Yorkshire looked at old Lacey, who was not good-looking, and hurriedly explained: "I don't understand what you are saying. ”
Yorkshire is not stupid, he just hasn't seen it anymore, and he knows that this bad old man is not ordinary, not to mention that bloodline magic and necromancy are despised by orthodox magicians, and the Holy See is grabbing one and killing another, and it will not be soft.
Alan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, passed by the corpses of the knights everywhere, walked straight to the door of the General Political Hall, glanced at Hales who had just made a move with an inexplicable expression, and shouted to the melon-eating crowd: "What are you still looking for, asking me trouble for the lord?" Go clean up. ”
The crowd erupted in cheers, and everyone rushed to the corpses with golden eyes flashing like sharks smelling blood.
Those who pick up rings, pick up clothes, take out money bags, and lead horses, everyone's face is full of happiness.
They feel that today is in vain to put down the work at hand to see the excitement, and the harvest of this meeting has caught up with half a month's efforts.
Thackeray saw old Lacey, and hurried over to greet him, looking like a dutiful nephew.
The old butler glanced at him angrily, looked at the ripples of the water covered by the house of the General Political Department, and laughed strangely.
"Hey, you're Hales, aren't you? Are you very faithful, afraid of disturbing your lord's lunch break? Old Lacey said sarcastically: "I don't know how your master will feel when he wakes up and sees this scene." ”
Hales then remembered that Hiron was still sleeping in the office, because he had applied soundproof water magic, and it was estimated that he still did not know what was going on outside.
Seeing Hales' utter bewilderment, Thackray laughed.
Hales ignored him, pointed at Alan and roared, "Dare to attack the captain's guards, don't think that Lord Huront cares about Archduke Locke." ”
Alan rolled his eyes and said to Yorkshire next to him: "You have to testify, those idiots just now didn't report their door, and besides, it wasn't my hand, he hit the stick himself." ”
Yorkshire nodded heavily, hearing Alan say this, he almost believed it himself.
The old butler walked up to Hales tremblingly and said in a low voice: "Hales, the water magician, in Maple Leaf Village on the border of the Grand Duchy of Lotre, nearly a hundred innocent villagers have died because they inadvertently collided with you, right?" ”
Hales snorted coldly and took two steps back, several sentries in front of him.
"I'm also a water magician, my name is Lacey. Adolph. Old Lacey continued, "How about I challenge you to be a magician? ”
"Lotre was recognized as a magical genius thirty years ago?" Hales' eyes widened, and he fixed on old Lacey.
Old Lacey smiled and shook his head.
"Where's your magic? Why do I feel so few mana fluctuations in your body? Hales asked suspiciously, "Could it be that the rumors are true, because of the cultivation of other main magics, you have retired from a magician to an intermediate magician?" ”
Thackeray hurriedly stopped in front of his uncle and opened his mouth to stop him.
Hales looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, with a smug look on his face: "The genius of the Duchy of Lotre? I think it's stupid, if you hadn't retreated, you might already be a famous continent's Great Magister by now, right? ”
Old Lai Xi's face remained unchanged, and there was no wave in the ancient well.
Hales looked at the old butler with pity, moved his gaze to Allen, and sneered: "Stupid magician, stupid nobleman, hahaha, you are very compatible." ”
"Accept?" Old Lacey asked again.
Hales was a little uneasy in his heart, but he still asked in curiosity, "With you now?" How about losing? What if you win. ”
"If you lose, will you let me live? Of course, if you win and you know who I am, I can revoke the wanted warrant for you in the Duchy of Lottel. ”
"Okay, I accept." Hales said with a cruel look on his face: "I personally finish off a magician who may be able to become an archmage, of course I accept it, hahahahaha." ”
Thackeray was just about to stop it, but Alan grabbed him by the shoulder.
"Get out of here!" Thackeray roared angrily, and his fighting spirit bloomed.
Alan raised his hands in the air and made a gesture of surrender.
"Humph!" Thackeray was just about to provoke Allen when Dina smirked and walked over, her thick arms choking Thackeray's neck.
Thackeray felt that his neck was stuck by iron tongs, and he couldn't release the fighting spirit of his whole body, and his feet kicked indiscriminately, but as soon as he came into contact with Dina, the fighting spirit of his whole body was lost, and his body was like being covered by an invisible shackle, and he couldn't move at all.
Several doglegs looked shocked, and just about to rush over, Alan said with a smile: "It's not a long memory, right, how did those stupid people just forget it?" My little brother is hiding around now, don't worry, Dina won't hurt your master. ”
Old Lacey gently said to a few doglegs: "All stand down!" ”
Only then did the knights remember the identity of this bad old man, and looked at Thackeray, who was like a little chicken in Dina's hands, very confused, and looked helpless.
Thackeray glared at them, and knew that you, who only knew how to slap on the back, couldn't be trusted.
