Chapter 46: May the carrot guide you
Rabbit is an old orc, and orcs, as the name suggests, are humanoid creatures with beastly characteristics. However, unlike Liu Li's previous imagination, the race of the beast half of the old rabbit's beast is not a beast, but a ...... Long-eared rabbit family. Liu Li felt that his whole person was not good, where was this half-orc, this was not a rabbit walking upright! Yes, it was walking, not jumping. When the middle-aged man brought his daughter and Liu Li to Rabit's residence, the old orc was leisurely nibbling on the carrot in his hand.
Liu Li has not seen half-orcs, after all, on the side of Casfield City, thanks to the attitude of the city lord and Old Wells to all races equally, the races of the mercenaries are naturally varied, but at first glance, he saw a figure with a rabbit head who opened the door, and he was also shocked.
"Ahem, old Rabit, this young man seems to have come for you. The middle-aged man with his daughter briefly introduced Liu Li, and then left with his daughter, obviously he didn't want to stay here longer, and the little girl didn't seem to have a good impression of this fluffy rabbit head. Liu Li, who has always maintained a state of omniscience, naturally knows what this is, and the black elemental aura diffused in the courtyard flows according to a certain law, making people unconsciously feel dislike this place.
The old rabbit didn't stop Liu Li at the door, and after the middle-aged man left, he saw Liu Lishi's mage ceremony and knew why the young spellcaster in front of him was here. Although the knowledge of the magic array has not yet reached the level of not passing on the secret, the conditions for learning are also extremely harsh. Even if a true magic array master does not have advanced spell cultivation, he can use the pre-arranged formation to influence the direction of a war, and because of this, the knowledge of various empires is very tightly hidden. Even in the Eleno Academy of Magic, there are not many books on magic arrays, and it is impossible to even form an independent course. The only way to learn advanced knowledge is to join the Kronos Royal Mage Guild and sign a contract to serve the Empire.
Rabitt can be said to be a genius in terms of magic arrays, and he is also an extraordinary genius. Although this old orc has been detected to have a talent for cultivating magic since he was a child, he is not very outstanding. According to his teacher, the middle-level spellcaster is already his limit, and if he doesn't have any adventures, he basically won't be able to get a high-level. Not willing to do so, Rubbitt obtained a book about magic circles with the help of his teacher, and although the content on it was not profound, it also opened a new door for him.
Rabbit had a good teacher, and although the Jade Empire had strict control over books on magic arrays, he still found such a book for his students. As a conscientious teacher, he naturally knows his students very well, and although as a spellcaster, Rabbit's talent is not very outstanding, but he often has unique insights when it comes to spell holding, and even after learning magic for decades, he can modify the spell structure on his own, completely surpassing himself as a teacher.
The book on the magic circle was also carefully selected by this venerable teacher for his students, and although the knowledge involved was relatively superficial, it was the most detailed description of the foundation of the magic circle. It stands to reason that Lapid does not have the right to read this book, but his teacher cannot bear to see the future of his students stop there.
The crime of stealing knowledge is very serious in Huangyu, and Rabitt has no choice but to confess in order to protect his teacher, but an accident occurs on the way to the Imperial Prison. He didn't know if this accident was at the hand of his teacher, but he also knew that the empire no longer had a place for himself, and the border swamp bordering the Kronos empire was naturally his only place to go. It was impossible for Rubbitt to join other empires, and although he knew that his attainment in magic circles would be enough to obtain a good status elsewhere, his teacher was still in Huangyu, and he didn't want to meet his teacher one day.
Rabit has made indelible contributions to the establishment of Sin City, and it can even be said that the entire city's defense circle was planned by this old orc, which is also one of the reasons why Sin City has been able to exist in the swamp for so many years. For hundreds of years, there have been many spellcasters who have come to Labit to learn the knowledge of the magic array, and Liu Li is by no means the first, nor can he be the last. But there was one thing that Rabbit didn't expect, Liu Li didn't find it through other means when he knew that he was living in seclusion in Sin City, but relied on the "omniscient" state's keen perception of the elements to find this circle node. And he happens to be the caretaker of this important node.
"Hello, young man. Lying on a chaise longue in the courtyard, Rubbitt took a leisurely bite of a carrot and asked, "Who told you to come to me, old man?" Vane, Lester...... Or who?"
Hearing the question of the old orc, Liu Li was confused, he was just curious about who was guarding the important node of such a huge magic array, and then learned some knowledge about the magic array, after all, it is indeed difficult to find a way to learn this knowledge, there is such an opportunity to say that there is no reason to let go, but he didn't expect to find the main master directly.
"Huh?" Looking at Liu Li's confused expression, Rabitt couldn't help but become a little interested in the young man in front of him. Those who can come here to find themselves and greet them with the mage salute, except for a few old friends who know that they live in seclusion, can only rely on their keen perception of the elements, and he doesn't believe that Liu Li came here just by coincidence. "Since I wasn't introduced by an old friend, let's talk about how you found this place. ”
In fact, Liu Li also has some guesses about the identity of the old orc. Liu Li came to Sin City to complete the task given to him by Landolia, since it is a mission, it is naturally impossible to have no information at all, at least some people who need attention, Landolia still has an explanation before leaving. It's just that Liu Li couldn't believe that his luck was so good, and he directly found the designer of the magic array in Sin City. There are not many people who can have the three elements of "in Sin City", "Rabbit Clan", and "Knowledge of Magic Array" at the same time, and it is obvious that Rabitt is the master of the magic array that Landolia said.
"Gifted omniscient. Hearing Liu Li tell how he came here, Rabit couldn't help but envy the talent of the young man in front of him. If I had such a good talent, I guess the teacher wouldn't have had to risk handing over that book to me in the first place. "Tell me why you came to Sin City. ”
Liu Li was hesitant in his heart, although according to Landolia, the old orc was "credible", but he was not sure whether the relationship between Rabitt and the "mask" was good or bad. Ian can be said to have died at his own hands, even if the old orcs are hostile to him for this reason, after all, there are not many spellcasters in Sin City, and it is not too surprising that there are some connections between them. Not to mention whether he can learn the knowledge of magic arrays, if the old orc does it to himself, Liu Li thinks that he can't bear the anger of a middle-level mage.
"Hehe, okay, let's change the question. Seeing that Liu Li was worried, Rabitt didn't continue to dwell on this issue, in a place like Sin City, no matter how cautious he was, he couldn't be too cautious, "Then tell me where you came from, anyway, I can't leave here in my life, and it won't have any impact on your future." ”
"I'm from Ellenor School of Magic, huh...... Complete the tasks assigned to me by the teacher. Liu Li pondered it again and again, and finally only gave such an ambiguous answer.
"Elonnor?" Rubbitt seemed to remember something, "Isn't that the territory of that old fellow in Ex......?" Your teacher can't be that randolia minx, right?"
Liu Li felt very helpless about the fact that the old orc had broken his own teacher's inheritance, why everyone who knew about Landolia would put the word "crazy" on her head. However, this also reminded Liu Li of the subtle expression that Landolia had when she mentioned Rabit before, and it was obvious that the two had known each other for a long time.
"It seems that Ian's little guy didn't hide this time, the frequent movements of those people in the 'mask' a few days ago also have something to do with the purpose of your trip, right?" Liu Li didn't expect the old orc in front of him to be so keen, and what he didn't expect was that he, who was leisurely gnawing on carrots, could understand things in the city so clearly. However, his words also let Liu Li know the current situation of the "mask", and it seems that the organization has fallen apart after the battle, and the northern district of Sin City has also been in chaos.
"Well, a poor man, Ian's little fellow. The old orc obviously fell into his own thoughts, and continued without waiting for Liu Li to answer: "I can't understand that element, but he has been tossed enough for so many years, he seems to call that thing the death element, and I don't know where he found it, but ...... He was relieved. Liu Li did not say anything to disturb the old man who was caught in his memories, but stood aside and listened quietly.
"Since you've come here, you're probably interested in the knowledge of magic arrays. After nibbling a carrot, the old Rabit remembered that Liu Li was still here. "Since you're a student of the Mad Minx, you're an acquaintance, and those things don't have much to teach you, and I don't have many days left anyway. As he spoke, Lapit took out a new carrot from the basket beside him, "By the way, do you eat carrots?"
......
Thanking Rabit's kindness, Liu Li left the old orc's secluded hut with a notebook, still thinking about the words of the old orc before saying goodbye to him—"May the carrot guide you." Liu Li, who looked confused, was still trying to think: "Why let the carrot guide me, how can the carrot guide me, what can it guide me?" Obviously, the old rabbit finally fooled Liu Li with a serious nonsense.
