Chapter 288: Magic Journey 2, what is the difference between people without ideals and salted fish
For half a year, Tang Shidao studied seriously for half a year.
During this period, the classmates in the class all knew each other, the teachers of the academy also inquired clearly, the school's guards and workers, and even well-known figures in the city all inquired, but in the end there was still no clue. The whole quest is like a joke, and you can't even find the protagonist and the content of the quest.
I have to say.
The people who left behind this task were either madmen or peerless geniuses.
The difficulty of the mission has nothing to do with power, and even if you know the people of the city, you still don't know who the main character is. Think about the mages who failed in the previous mission, I'm afraid that many people don't know who the protagonist is until they fail, and they don't know if they found the right person or did the right thing in the first place.
There is no right answer to this task.
Except for the person who posted the task, no one can be sure that they have found the right person.
Tang Shidao was also skeptical.
In these six months, will the real 'protagonist' die due to man-made disasters or fires? You know, people who go out hunting in this city die several times a month, and people often suffer from fights and bloody battles in the city. This is not the Continent of Light Spirits, every guard will resurrect the technique, and most of the injured will be seriously injured and killed except for those treated by mages.
Let's be blunt.
Some of the poor here will die, and if the protagonist of the mission does not live a stable life, it is not surprising that he starves to death.
"Don, what are you working on?" As before, Ritsu is neither good nor bad in the academy. He has great talent, but he is extremely lazy. What others can do five or six times to do well, he can do once or twice. Because of this qualification, Lu Ah is also a bit of a fool.
"I'm working on a double bullet fireball." Tang Shidao sighed slightly.
"Will this work?"
"I can't make it." Tang Shidao didn't say that it was unsuccessful, but only that it couldn't be done. In fact, Tang Shidao had been successfully researched a few months ago, but unfortunately, it was isolated like physical strength and forbidden spells. Small fireballs and spawned double fireballs can be found in the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, but the double fireballs are 'unusable'.
Therefore, Tang Shidao came to a conclusion: it is not that he can't do it, it's not that the spell can't do it, it's that this database is 'unreadable' something.
For example, forbidden spells.
For example, physique.
For example, magic artifacts and alchemy potions.
This place can only read its own spells and mana, and the rest is unknown. Spells are derived here, and the actual effect is there, but this place doesn't reread a second time, it only retains the original save data.
In other words.
I can't get stronger here, it's always just a moment when I just came in.
This limitation...... 100% mission-related!
One of the requirements of the quest is below the Holy Realm, where the protagonist once created the 'Only Spell', and it is estimated that he has the level of the Holy Realm. The hell is here. Quest mages can wait to see who here can become a Saint Realm mage, and then go to help. But, if you are below the Holy Realm, and you run to help a Holy Realm mage, it is obvious that you are holding your thighs, and it is difficult to say whether the protagonist ignores you or not.
If you want to delay helping, you can't intervene.
If you want to make friends in advance, you can't find out who the protagonist is.
I have to say.
This task is torturous, and there is no sincerity in giving benefits.
The small days continued, and Tang Shidao stopped studying derivative spells, and focused on basic theories. During this time, Tang Shidao completely became a nerd-style magic apprentice, only dealing with books and ancient books every day. The tutor of the academy saw it in his eyes, and he was relieved but also secretly regretful. It's good to be diligent in your studies, but it's too bad for talent. In the past half a year, Tang has not learned anything except the fireball technique.
"Tang's theory class is still very good, but what this world needs is a mage, not a scholar." The mentor sighed secretly.
"Yes, Don works hard, I've rarely seen such a diligent student. It's just that no matter how hard he cultivates, the result is still not as good as Ritsu'a, who only pays one-fifth of his heart. The talent is not good, coupled with the orphan's family background, he is destined to have no chance with the mage. It's a pity for such a diligent student. The dean of the college also lamented.
They have sympathy in their hearts, but they can't do anything about it.
The resources of the school of magic are not skewed towards 'poor students', and only priority is given to students with good grades. The officials in the city, the rich, the mages, the chambers of commerce, they just need to see the results. If the level of graduates drops in one year, funding will be reduced next year.
In the eyes of the teachers, Tang Shidao's 'diligence' and Lu A's 'talent' are the most perfect combined.
It's a pity that they are two people.
Campus life goes on, but sometimes something goes wrong.
"Punk, give me back the painting!" When he played with the poor boys, he was naturally ostracized by the rich children.
"I'll see, who is the drawing...... Haha...... "Punk is the head of the class. It's not that his grades are good, but because his father is one of the top ten most famous mages in the city. This is not a big city, but the names of the top ten mages in the city can also bluff people.
Ritsua chased, and Punk became even more proud.
Brute force tore open the scroll.
Painting.
She is a heroic woman.
"Ah, Imperial Eagle, Holy Sword, Lady Gilana...... Hahaha, she is actually the most famous female general in the empire. You're actually ...... Hahahaha, you unpopular mage family actually dare to covet the Imperial Eagle...... Let me see how many you have drawn? Twenty-six! It's all Ms. Kilana. You're not a stalker, are you? It's disgusting that you even have a painting of a yukata ......"
"That's what I imagined! Give it back to me! Give it back to me! Lu'a was so angry and frightened that she frantically pounced.
"Look for death, dare to swing your fist at me." With a wave of his hand, an electric current struck.
He can't do lightning in seconds.
However, he has money, and he can do it with the magic weapons he buys with money.
"Ahhh......h But to everyone's surprise, he actually endured the pain and pounced on Punke's body. Punk is also a parallel import, the lightning is not disconnected, and the two of them are scorched by the lightning.
By the time the others reacted, both of them had already fallen.
Among those present.
Even the teacher couldn't react at this moment, except for Tang Shidao. However, Tang Shidao did not make a move, because Tang Shidao did not want to mix too many personal factors. Neither of them is fatal anyway, so it doesn't matter if you suffer a little. This is the world of spells, and healing can easily heal them.
Things got into a mess, and parents from both sides came.
Apparently.
Compared to the 'father', one of the top ten mages of Punk, Ritsu's parents are dozens of streets behind. Although he is also a mage, he has only bowed his head since they met. After all, they are not mages and have little self-esteem. Here, when the mage saw the people of the higher level, he had to bow his head, and he didn't dare to offend half a point.
Tang Shidao has been watching the excitement.
If Ritsu is in trouble, he will help, but generally the situation will go with the flow.
However.
Things have come to a delicate step.
The Imperial Eagle, the female general of Kilana, happened to come to the city to discuss important matters with the ten mages of the city. Hearing that it was related to herself, Kilana also stopped by to take a look. Punk and Ria have been cured, and both of them blush a little in the face of the charismatic female general.
Kilana looked at the painting.
Walked up to Ritsu A, who had his head down, and touched his head: "It's a good drawing, but you're going in the wrong direction." You're an apprentice in magic, and you're supposed to study magic more than paint. I've heard of you, a very talented but very lazy little one. Whatever you have in mind, give up. The empire doesn't need a lazy and incompetent person, and I don't like a lazy little boy like you. ”
Kilana has no ill will.
When Tang Shidao saw her sword, he knew that she was a very diligent person, a person who practiced 100% every day.
For a little lazy person like Lil.
There is no doubt that she really can't look at it.
But.
At this moment, when everyone didn't pay attention, Tang Shidao found that Lu A's face had changed. It was as if something inside him had collapsed. Suddenly, Ritsu Ah suddenly entered another state, from a slightly shy little boy to an instant as calm as the surface of a lake.
You're the main character!
Tang Shidao smiled.
There is no real answer to this task, but Tang Shidao subconsciously judged: Lu A is the protagonist of this scene.
Smack.
Ritsu's father slapped him hard. In the blink of an eye, half of Lu'a's face was swollen. However, Ritsu's expression was very calm, as if it was not himself who was beaten. He looked up at General Kilana again, there was no hatred in his eyes, but there was an expression of 'you must be me'.
For a moment, he lowered his head again.
Except for Tang Shidao, no one paid attention to his attitude.
Frankly.
For a moment, Tang Shidao really wanted to take down Qilana and then force her to marry Yu'a. However, the thought was immediately abandoned...... That's not how the script goes. Doing this yourself is likely to mess up the task, or wait and see.
"It's okay, give me a little face, don't punish this kid." Kilana is kind enough to comfort her, and she strikes another critical blow to Ritsu.
Child!
In her eyes, Ritsua is just a child!
Because of the female general's intercession, of course Lu Ah was fine, that is, he was slapped a few times by his father.
Eventually, the matter was over.
At least on the surface, everything is completely over.
The next day.
"Don, I want to study summoning spells with you, and I have the most experience in this area." Ritsua became studious.
"Ritsu, of course." Tang Shidao knows, you were originally summoning a big bull.
History cannot be changed by itself.
It's not a step back in time, it's just a piece of information. Even if he destroys everything here, the result will be a failure of the mission, and the next mage who comes in to do the task will replace Ning Yan and become a poor student.
So.
After identifying the protagonist, Tang Shidao can interfere with the plot a little. Both Lady Dark Cloud and Lake Fairy have said that the ancestor of the Astral Empress has failed. This means that Ritsua did not marry the female general Qilana. If you want to complete the task, you must 'accomplish' this wish.
The next ten days.
It's business as usual.
The difference is that Ritsua has become diligent and focuses on studying and practicing. Tang Shidao instructed him like a teacher, and asked other teachers to help teach.
Two strange things are happening these days, too.
First, Ritsu's mother was almost killed by the demon wolves when she went on a mission. However, a raven saved her, and said to her: "Don't thank me, this little thing is not worth mentioning compared to your kindness in the orphanage."
When people hear it, there is nothing wrong with it.
Lu'a's mother used to send food and clothes to the orphans, a good person, and there should be a good reward.
The second thing.
The third son of the lord of the city, a fat man who became very rich because of running a casino, directly proposed to the female general Qilana with 3,500 griffins. Because of the heavy losses of Gilana's griffin legion in the last battle, Kirana agreed to the marriage proposal for the sake of her fellow legion. Even the king sent a congratulatory gift for this matter, and it can be said that there was no earth-shaking change, and the wealthy casino businessman became one hundred percent of Kilana's first husband.
However.
He was struck to death by three bolts of lightning.
This is not a natural disaster, and there is still a line left at the scene: This life, for my father who had his hands cut off by the casino!
As a result, the Imperial military and police chased the murderer everywhere and went crazy looking for relevant clues.
In fact.
There's no way they're going to find the killer...... The two sides are not at the same level at all!
