Chapter 257: Parting
"Liu Li, is it really okay for you to be alone?" William was a little hesitant, the attack more than a month ago made him worried, although he had not heard Croxis's explanation with his own ears, but through Eve's relay, he also knew that those strange enemies were coming for Liu Li, if it wasn't for this time he was traveling with his family, he would not have said anything and would not have been separated from Liu Li like this.
"Don't worry, didn't the King of the Black Dragon say that those enemies won't appear again in a short time. Liu Li comforted at first, and then continued: "Besides, I have to do it as soon as possible, I can't arrive later than the teacher, and I plan to go to Mingzhu Academy first, so your family can have a good time in the mountains and rivers." ”
"Heh, stinky boy......" William scolded with a smile, "Okay, but you usually pay more attention alone, after all, you are still young, don't be too impulsive when you encounter things, the hinterland of the Huangyu Empire is fine, and the coastal area is not so peaceful." ”
"Okay, uncle, even if I encounter an enemy that I can't beat, I can always run away, otherwise I'm too sorry for Teacher Landuo's teaching for so many years. In order to prove his words, Liu Li waved his hand and threw out a black hole, and the time spent on casting the spell was almost negligible - this spell inherited from Landolia, Liu Li had already mastered it perfectly.
"I forgot, you have that crazy girl's spell, so you don't have to worry too much about safety. William smiled bitterly and shook his head, he suddenly found that if it was about the escape ability of this master and nephew, he was even better at it than himself, a high-level spellcaster-if Liu Li was the only one when he was attacked that night, he could completely use the way of fighting to defeat those strange enemies one by one, and everyone, including him, a high-level mage, was just a drag from Liu Li.
"That'...... I'm leaving?" Seeing that William was still skeptical, Liu Li asked in a tone that was unique to a young man, as if the goal of this trip was not a dangerous sealed space rift, but an ordinary hike.
"Alright, stinky boy, I've guessed that the students taught by the Mad Girls are not fuel-efficient lamps, but...... Don't you really need me to leave you a carriage and some guards?
"Don't worry, Uncle William, I've thought about it a long time ago. Liu Li smiled slightly, he felt a little subtle now, this was the first time in several years that he had carried out a mission alone after the trip to Sin City, and he was still going to a place so far east of the Ode Continent, "I plan to hire a small mercenary group, and the mercenaries of the Kronos Empire are still guaranteed in terms of credibility." As for the means of transportation...... I have a teacher's carriage. ”
"Oh, show it to me, I remember before I left, that crazy girl dreamed of a simple mage tower, I haven't seen it in so long since I've been back, I didn't expect it to be in your hands. William was in high spirits, and Landolia's dream seemed to him to be a fantasy, but now that it had been realized, it proved that the road could be taken. William decided to see if it was possible to do the same himself.
William's strength is not as good as that of Landolia now, but after all, he is the same family, and he can build a wooden house with some mage tower functions in the southern forest, and his attainments in formation law are obviously not much worse, at least after entering the carriage, many of the magic circles in it can be distinguished at a glance.
"This magic circle is good, the 'stable' effect after stimulation is exactly what such a simple mage tower must have, so that it won't roll over because of too powerful attacks, and can use the 'silence' effect of the black element to complete such a magic circle, the crazy girl's formation attainments have surpassed me a lot." ”
"Oh......? What kind of magic crystals are used to increase the elemental amplification to such an extent? Let me see...... This one...... Liu Li, this is very similar to the material of your scythe?" William had already fallen into a state of frenzy, and continued to say to himself without waiting for Liu Li's explanation: "Hey, this defensive array, the sixth-order system, that crazy girl's formation method has actually broken through the limit of the black element, it seems that I still underestimate her." ”
"'Phase barriers' are something that can only be erected by a spellcaster who has studied the 'spatial element' like her...... Well, if you take such a carriage, there should be no need to worry about safety. ”
"'Sixth-order...... Wizard Bombardment...... "Liu Li, don't let anyone else see this thing, otherwise it may cause panic just by relying on this, especially if you also said that you want to go to the 'Pearl Academy' to have a look, there are many spellcasters who are good at formation learning there...... Heh, but the appearance of this thing finally made me sure that this carriage was made by the Mad Girl herself, and she couldn't have built a mage tower specifically for defense, not even a simple version. ”
"Uncle William, it's not over yet, you keep looking. Liu Li, who finally found an opportunity to interject, secretly answered, he wanted to know what William's expression would show when he saw the "final weapon" of the Simple Mage Tower, and he had even quietly prepared a photo spell for this, just waiting to take a picture of this scene and share it with Landolia.
"Hmm, what else, I'll take a look......" William muttered as he spread his mental power, and finally found the hidden circle in the corner of the control room. The circle was far more complex than he had imagined, and there was a note underneath it - "Elemental Burst System (Use with Caution)".
"The name is quite simple, but it's still a layered structure, tides, storms, annihilation? What is this...... Graded ......" William's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally fell silent, Liu Li saw that cold sweat oozed from the corners of his uncle's forehead, "Cough, Liu Li, let me confirm with you, that crazy girl told you what this thing is for, ......right?"
"Ahh......h Of course, the emotion in Liu Li's heart will not be reduced at all, he and William are actually not familiar with each other, and the contact time is only a few months. But he can see that this master really takes care of himself as a junior, especially in the three months that he has been with him, he has taken care of everything.
"What a firework! This is a self-destruction system! Do you know what self-destruction is? It can turn a hundred miles into a scorched earth!" No matter how strong Liu Li is now, he is just a talented child in William's eyes, and occasionally shows a youthful side...... Put the excitation authority of the "Elemental Burst System" in his hands, and God knows if this nephew will be extremely bored and excited.
"Don't worry, uncle, I know what this thing does, and I won't activate the Elemental Burst System unless I have to. Liu Li finally realized that she had made a little too much trouble, and hurriedly remedied: "And I feel distressed when the carriage is destroyed, not to mention, I may have to be cleaned up by the teacher when I go back, and I don't dare to use it casually if I borrow my guts." ”
"Well, trust you. William also suddenly came to his senses. Through this period of contact, he also knew that although his nephew had a youthful side, he was definitely not an impulsive person, and it was never too much to comment on his calmness and seriousness, and he was never as reckless as his teacher, which made William feel a little at ease.
"That'...... Uncle Shi, can I go?" asked Liu Li cautiously, unsure if the previous photo spell had been detected by William.
"Go, go, go!" William waved his hand as he stepped out of the carriage, his face full of exhaustion, the "Elemental Burst System" really scared the high-level spellcaster enough, "By the way, remember to say goodbye to those two girls before leaving, otherwise if they think that I am afraid of trouble and drive you away, they will probably have to trouble me all the way." ”
......
"Liu Li, are you really not going to go together?" Unexpectedly, it was not Tina who was more familiar with Liu Li, but Nana, who had just worshipped William as her teacher, and of course, it could also be because Liu Li ran out to go out on a mission from time to time to play missing, and the girl with a long ponytail was used to it.
"Uh...... No, you're going north, and I'm going east. Liu Li was also surprised by Nana's retention, but she didn't feel good enough to think that this girl had taken a fancy to her.
"Don't worry, Nana, this kid has been running around all day, and I haven't seen him get lost. Tina commented on what Liu Li had done over the years in an old-fashioned tone. This girl has a lot of resentment in her heart, and before Liu Li arrived in Eleno City and studied spells with Landolia, she was the one who haunted the witch's villa the most.
I thought that a cute little junior brother finally came, and she could make her feel full of responsibility and be addicted to being a senior sister, but she didn't expect that Liu Li's time running around outside was much longer than the time she spent in the villa to practice spells. But now...... Just like Liu Li thought, he is indeed accustomed to it.
"Alas, it's a pity that there is a lack of a good opponent to practice martial arts. Nana was slightly disappointed, after Liu Li left, there was no one to practice martial arts with her, although there were many mid-level martial artists among the caravan's guards and hired mercenaries, but they were all parallel goods who had not comprehended Xinwu, and she was really not interested in seriously fighting with such an opponent.
"Nana, it's not right for you to do this, although those mercenaries and guards are not far behind you in terms of martial arts, they also have something worth learning from you. Nana's expression completely exposed what she was thinking, Liu Li didn't want to see the extremely talented martial arts girl capsize in the gutter because of such a mentality, "There are no magical beasts in the 'Holy Land', they have much more experience in dealing with elemental attacks than you, especially now that you have embarked on the path of a spellcaster, these things are something you need to learn and master proficiently." ”
“...... Well, well, you're right, I'm a little proud. Nana reflected for a moment and felt that the facts were indeed as Liu Li said, and then smiled: "So...... Bon voyage. ”
