Chapter 10 Changes
Wells, who handed over the staff to Liu Li, sat quietly in the study, but the expression on his face was very entangled, who would have thought that this time it was just for his student's weapon to contact a few old friends in the imperial capital but to know such amazing news. The Kronos Empire, which borders the Eastern Jade, was the scene of a war that swept through the southeastern part of the world after the two countries came into official contact. The war lasted for hundreds of years, and two generations devoted countless lives to it, until the relationship gradually eased four hundred years ago. More than 300 years have passed since the formal establishment of diplomatic relations, and the wounds caused by the war between the two empires have finally healed. But who would have thought that the Bayer Empire in the West has become more and more restless recently, and several small countries on the border as a buffer zone have given up their sovereignty in less than a hundred years and gradually merged into the two empires, whether active or passive. Now there is no room for relaxation between the two empires of Kronos and Bayer, and as the border friction gradually escalates, the shadow of war will once again loom over the empire's sky, and there will be an unknown number of lives that will be lost here.
As the town guard mage of the Southern Jedi, it didn't have much to do with him even if there was a war, and the four empires never dared to have any negligence in the Jedi guard. That's why the inscription runes of the Mage's Tower had only undergone a minor overload, and Wells would rather empty his warehouse than repair it in the shortest possible time. The types of demonic beasts in the four Jedi are different, but no one has ever been able to say even an approximate number of their number, and the higher ranks have wisdom no less than that of humans. For example, in the southern forests guarded by Wells, there was a recorded Monster Riot 1,300 years ago. The Kronos Empire tried its best to exhaust the five seventh-order powerhouses in the country, plus the countries of the mainland and even various races, the number of seventh-order powerhouses gathered was as high as fifteen, and the high-level powerhouses also gathered more than a hundred, and the army was even more unknown. At that time, the entire defense line retreated again and again, and Casfield City was the focus of contention, which was destroyed and rebuilt several times, but it was only able to hold on. But for Wells, he couldn't ignore this incident.
After all, he only mastered one spell, and it didn't take too long for Liu Li to use it even if he changed his tricks, and when he returned to Wells's study, he couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw that the old man was still motionless in the posture he had left. After two years of getting along, especially the experience of frequent spiritual communication during the first period, Liu Li knows quite well about his teacher's character, and it is really difficult to let him be idle, and the current situation is obviously a matter of heart.
"What's wrong with the old wealth mini?" looked at the unusually teacher, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"The world is so big, do you want to go out for a walk?"
Hearing Wells's answer, Liu Li's current expression can be described in four words, that is, he was confused, but he was a little worried in his heart. From Wells's tone, Liu Li rarely heard a trace of hesitation, you know, spellcasters are all determined people, and those who can cultivate to a high level are the best among them, Liu Li doesn't know what can make a high-level spellcaster show this emotion in front of his students.
"Teacher, what's going on?" Listening to the tone, he also knew that the problem that the teacher had to face this time was different from the past, and Liu Li didn't have the heart to joke.
"Well, it's not a big deal, it's just that you need to go to the west of the empire for a while, and the time may not be short, so you ......"
"What's the matter, I'll just go with you, or someone will carry you back from the tavern if you drink too much. ”
"No!" In addition to guiding the cultivation of magic, Wells had never spoken to him in such a stern tone at other times, let alone interrupted directly before he finished speaking, and Liu Li realized that something might really happen.
"To the east of the Plains of Elenor, the largest magic academy in the Empire, I will write you a letter of introduction, where you will study magic for the next few years. Wells made a decision directly for Liu Li, and there was no room for rebuttal in his tone. Perhaps afraid that this would scare Liu Li, he adjusted his mood and continued: "This time I asked you to meet someone, which is good for your future. Don't think that you kid don't tell me that I don't know, whether it's martial arts or magic in the past year, you have put 200% of your energy into it, you want to go back to Earth. Wells's final question was not in a questioning tone.
"Is it dangerous?" Knowing that he couldn't change the teacher's decision, Liu Li also calmed down his emotions. That's right, he never gave up his obsession with going back. Unlike the protagonist in many novels, Liu Li is not careless on earth, at least he has both parents and he can't help but think about his family in his hometown, and what kind of blow his disappearance will bring to his parents who are no longer young. Returning to his hometown is also the driving force behind his efforts to improve himself.
"It's okay, anyway, there won't be any problems in a short period of time, and besides, your teacher is also a high-level mage, so it's not so easy to have problems. Wells didn't completely hide it from Liu Li, he was very satisfied with the clever head of his student.
"When will you leave?" Master, Master, like Master and Father. Although he has never said it explicitly, although Wells has taken care of Liu Li in the past two years, he has also guided him when he was most confused, and has been guiding him attentively. This is the second time since Liu Li hates his weakness so much. The first time he had lost Kamal, Crane, and Lian, and what would happen this time he didn't dare to think about it. Fortunately, Wells said that there would be no problems in the short term, knowing that his teacher would not hide and deceive him at this point, Liu Li felt a little relieved. At the same time, he secretly vowed in his heart: "I must become strong as soon as possible, and I can be a help to the teacher when he needs help instead of a burden." ”
Just like Liu Li's understanding of Wells, two years of getting along with Wells made Wells very clear in his heart what kind of character his students were, and he knew what kind of decision he made in his heart by looking at his current expression. Although I am still a little worried, I am also very gratified.
"Asking you to go to Alenor this time is actually asking you to do me a favor. As he spoke, Wells took out a letter from the drawer of the long table, and seemed to have prepared it. "You have to give this letter to Landolia, one of the vice-deans of the Eleonor Academy of Magic. Remember, be sure to hand it over to her and make sure she finishes it. ”
Liu Li, who returned to his room, did not stop thinking, and forcibly suppressed the irritability in his heart to sort out the information currently known. First of all, something will happen in the western part of the empire, and it will be tricky enough for high-level mages to find difficult to handle. However, the western part of the empire is too big, and there are no signs for the time being, which proves that this matter only affects a very small geographical range, or the range of strength level, at least there are no unusual rumors when the city guards are training. The second is the deputy dean named Landolia, who must have been mentioned by Wells before that it was the person who would be good for me in the future. And her relationship with her teacher was very familiar, if not close friends, at least very familiar, at least Wells trusted her more than anyone else, otherwise he would not entrust himself to her. Liu Li is still very confident in his magical talent, not to mention the foundation of the "dual cultivation of law and martial arts" brought about by the improvement of his physique. As for the rest, it is really impossible to infer because there is too little information.
"Then do what the teacher says, and at least see what the person he trusts looks like, and then make a decision. Liu Li, who had made the decision, did not continue to think about these things, and began a new round of study of spells with his staff in hand. He is desperately eager to improve his strength, but he also knows that this cannot be achieved overnight, and he must go on step by step. Wells had taught him more than once about the disadvantages of an unstable foundation, and Liu Li was also deeply convinced of this. The blue that shone in the meditation space seemed to also feel Liu Li's mood, and the heart-like pulsation became more and more powerful. When Liu Li didn't notice it, a trace of dark red quietly flashed in the corner of the blue color, and it pulsated faintly along with the whole. That touch of red is similar to the red element contained in the spell "Shock", but it is slightly different. As Liu Li controlled the spell again and again, that trace of red also seemed to have a tendency to spread assertively, and it seemed that he was hindered by something and could not break free from the shackles. Liu Li didn't know where the changes in the meditation space would lead her to the future, and she hadn't even noticed the changes in them.
In fact, the changes in the meditation space have also had a subtle impact on the outside world, but Liu Li's current perception is not yet perceptible. In the barrel of the gun, in the veins of the inscription infiltrated by the fine fragments of Mithril, the faint red climbed up with the lines of Mithril, but the color was too light, and the degree of change was so weak that even with Liu Li's keen perception, it could not be detected. He only felt that the weapon in his hand was more closely connected to himself, as if he had life, and he was close to him.
An esoteric symbol emerged from the void and floated behind Liu Li. It was a seemingly simple rune, but when it was looked closely, it exuded an endless reckless aura, as if it had survived to this day. But the phenomenon that obviously belongs to the category of magic, whether it is Liu Li, who is close at hand, or Wells, who is contemplative in the study, is not aware of it. Finally, the symbol that gradually glowed a dull red color seemed to have found a home, and it sank into Liu Li's body at an extremely fast speed. All these changes subsided, and they returned to their original state, including the shining blue of the meditation space, which looked the same as before.
Wells, who was in the study, slowly stood up, walked to the window, looked at the sun in the sky, and muttered to himself: "Landuo, whether I did this is right or wrong, I will leave it to you to judge." But this student, I'll leave it to you. ”
