Chapter 80: Divination

"Alan!" The old magician stood up, seemed to understand Alan's mood, patted Allen's shoulder comfortingly, and said, "When you grow up, sooner or later you will have to leave the teacher, leave the academy, and create your own future." But the teacher is here, if you want to come back, the teacher is always welcome, you can make this your home, maybe one day the teacher is old, this place may have to be handed over to you. However, the outside world is not as good as imagined, and the adventurous life is more exciting than dangerous, and Alan you have to be prepared to deal with any danger. ”

"Okay, teacher!"

That night, when Alan was playing cards in the dormitory with three friends, he shared with a few people that he was about to participate in the graduation assessment. If this experience assessment can be successfully completed, Alan will be recognized by the Academy of Magic for his magician qualifications, and accept the wand awarded by the old magician himself, and this wand will be used as a symbol of Allen's status as a magician in the future, if the task is not completed, Alan will have to continue to accept other graduation assessment tasks until the task is completed, and as far as Alan knows, he is the first senior class student of the Magic Academy to receive the graduation assessment task, that is, if he successfully completes the assessment, he will become the first student to graduate from the Academy of Magic, and at that time Alan is the senior brother of all the students of the Academy of Magic。

Allen's mission this time has been arranged for him, it is to complete an adventure mission with a mercenary team called the Brave Heart Mercenary Group, the team leader is called Havech, once in an adventure operation, was saved by the old magician, and has always owed the old magician a favor, so this time the old magician sent someone to find him, he happily agreed, his mercenary team has just completed an escort mission, and is ready to complete another task by the way in the process of returning to his place of residence to earn some carriage and horse fees. Alan will participate in and complete this mission with the mercenary squad. At present, the specific task Alan still needs to meet with the mercenary team before it can be further confirmed, but from the mouth of the old magician, I know that the difficulty of this mission is not high, if nothing else, it should be able to be completed smoothly, of course, any adventure task is risky, so the old magician repeatedly told Alan some adventure precautions.

Several friends were a little excited, a little envious, and a little embarrassed when they heard that Alan was going to participate in the graduation assessment, especially Elvis even shouted that he wanted to go to the assessment with Allen, but he was only shouting, he knew that the college stipulated that the graduation assessment task could only be participated in alone.

In the end, Elvis sighed and said, "It's better for you to leave early, but if you have one, you won't be able to eat the delicious leg of lamb in the future!"

"In that case, why don't we bother Alan one more time while he's still alive?" suggested Sean, and a few friends discussed finding a place to have a drink or two, so the group hurried to the West Street Bar again.

The boss was also very happy to hear that Alan was about to become a real magician, and came up to toast a few glasses, and several people were drinking happily, as soon as the door opened, the old man Louis and the child Rick also came in, and the reunion of the old man was inevitable to have a greeting, and then Alan knew that the old man's identity had changed from a street stall to a full-time doctor in the Imperial Duke's Palace, and the old man entered the city this time to purchase some materials needed for medicine, but because it was late, he simply lived in the city, and Little Rick still remembered the leg of lamb in the West Street bar, so the old man and the old man came over again, so that Alan himself had to admit again that he and the two were really not ordinary。

Because last time a few people risked the danger to save Little Rick's life, Alan learned to dance under the guidance of the old man, so the two groups of people were very affectionate as soon as they met, and Alan ran to the back kitchen to roast two leg of mutton, and after serving it, Elvis and Little Rick stuffed meat into their mouths almost like a competition, and they were afraid of being eaten by each other.

A few people chatted while drinking, and the topic quickly shifted to the old man's divination that day, and Alan asked the old man curiously: "Mr. Louis, are you really good at divination? ”

"Speaking of divination, it goes back to a long, long time ago, when the rulers of this continent were orcs, and of course the power of elves was also huge, and humans only occupied a small amount of territory at that time, and they also had to submit to the throne of the beastmaster. The old man put down his glass and stroked his beard, as if ready to talk.

"The origin of divination has no traceability, but the earliest historical users of divination are the priests of the orcs, the priests by observing the celestial phenomena, calculating the movement of the stars to divinate the good fortune and evil trend, and then this method flowed into the human court, and even into the people, but through the astrological view of the world is the general trend of the world, into the folk for someone to fortune is a joke. It is said that more than 300 years ago, the new beast king just took office, it was the time of high spirits, the orc priest in order to celebrate the new king's accession to the throne, a special divination, but when observing the sky, it was found that there was a great ominous scene of the stars transiting, which was a sign that the status of the beast king was in danger, and the orc priest finally confirmed the disaster in the south by calculating the movement of the stars. So the arrogant beast king chose to strike first, and at the sound of an order, the orc army pounced on the southern territories and small countries, which caused a strong backlash from the human lords and kings, and even the same hatred, and finally formed a coalition under the operation of the Holy See, and finally defeated the orcs completely after a series of wars in the Togo hills. At this moment of life and death, the divination of the orc priests played a role again, and they told the beastmaster that from the trend of the stars, the sun occupied the north, and when it was possible to avoid the siege of the stars, the beastmaster gave another order, and the orc warriors who migrated the whole country and abandoned their armor took their families and galloped all the way to the northern wasteland behind Hulamun'er Xiongguan. Now when we look back on those days, we may think that if the orc priests had not carried out divination, the orc army would not have forced the forces in the south to rebel, and perhaps there would not have been a defeat of the orcs, so the so-called transit of the stars would not have foreshadowed the crisis of the status of the beastmaster, of course, this assumption is meaningless, and history is a foregone conclusion. One thing is certain, though, that divination itself is part of history, and that history is actually already being changed by the time divination is performed. ”
