Chapter 18: Side Quest 2
Everything in the forest was caught in the eyes of the crow in the distance, and he was silent for a while, and then called softly, "Teacher." ”
The archelder's old face emerged from the trunk.
"Looks like you've got the answer." Alba's old voice came.
The crow nodded, his eyes still fixed on the clearing in the distance: "I understand what the teacher means." ”
He paused as if to consider his words, and then said softly: "I remember that my teacher taught me that the people are the cornerstone of development. ”
Albo nodded, not speaking, but with an old smile on his face.
"But in fact, until now, neither I nor you, Teacher, have ever truly cared about the humans of Blackstone," Lucar continued, "What we have done is nothing more than to use powerful means to gather the will of the people, expel those discordant factors, and force the people of Blackstone to choose the most suitable path!" ”
“…… We are not wrong, if a race wants to survive in the Shadow Forest, it must unite and not hesitate! ”
“…… But after all, our methods have wiped out the enthusiasm and self-thinking ability of the people of Blackstone Town, and although our race has survived because of this, it has also lost the possibility of taking another step forward! ”
Albord's eyes showed a look of relief, his face moved in a direction on the trunk of the tree, and like Lucar, he looked at the clearing in the distance, and his voice was old and gentle: "Go on, Lucar! ”
The black crow turned his head to look at the wrinkles on the old mage's face, which were as deep as the bark around him, sighed softly in his heart, turned his head to look ahead, and continued: "However, it is different now, the development of Blackstone Town has reached a saturated period, and if we continue to develop according to this pattern, we will always maintain this scale!" Although we changed the rules of the guidance again and again, prescribed carnival days for them, and led them to open up a lot of land...... But it still didn't work much, and the people inside were still living according to the old rules! They're used to it! ”
Lucar's voice was heavy, and although it was still in the form of a crow, it always reminded people of his frowning face.
“…… So we're going to break out of that mindset! He paused, and when he spoke again, his voice was firm: "We need a change!" A revolution that liberates the minds of the people of Blackstone Town! ”
"However, such a change cannot be led by me, you, or you, or the remaining wizards in Whitestone Castle! This can be seen from the recent leadership policy of White Rock Castle, we wizards who represent the ancient rules have been bound by the rules under our own top, we are aware of the problem, but we are powerless! So we need fresh blood, and we need a wizard who can really think from the perspective of the people of Blackstone to make a change! ”
"So...... We need this Wizard of Anvis, we need him to break the ice! ”
After Lucar finished speaking, there was silence in the woods, and after a long time, Albord's voice slowly came out: "You have grown up, Lucar! ”
Lucar lowered his head slightly, and even though he kept looking like a crow, he could still feel his respect.
He heard relief and joy in this old voice, and at the same time a hint of exhaustion......
The teacher is getting old...... He knew that the time that belonged to them as old wizards was coming to an end......
"But you're wrong!" An old voice interrupted his thoughts.
The crow looked up and looked at the old wizard suspiciously.
Albo turned his face, looked at Lucar with a relieved smile and said, "It's not 'us', it's 'us'!" ”
Lucar was stunned for a moment, and then reacted to the fact that the latter "we" that the teacher said did not include him!
"Don't underestimate yourself, Lucar." Albord continued, "You are also one of the leaders of this change, and you are the heir chosen by a group of old fellows of our White Rock Castle, no worse than that Wizard of Anvis! ”
“…… Yes, I see, Teacher! Lucar was stunned for a second, then bowed his head respectfully, and the slightest loneliness in his voice had disappeared.
Nothing is more exhilarating than the admission of a great wizard.
Albo nodded with satisfaction: "Then the quota is set - I, you, and the Wizard of Anvis, get ready, by the way, inform the Wizard of Anvis, and we will set off the day after tomorrow!" ”
After speaking, the old wizard who was just about to hide in the trunk suddenly seemed to think of something, and resurfaced to look at Lucar and said, "By the way, I almost forgot to say it." ”
The old wizard looked at Lucar, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Congratulations on passing the exam, Wizard Lucar!" ”
"Huh?" Lucar was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this observation was not only an investigation of the wizard of Anvis, but also an assessment of him......
I was about to say something, but the trunk had been restored to its original state.
Shaking his head, the crow's eyes showed a hint of human helplessness, and he took one last look at the clearing in the distance, and flapped his wings and flew into the sky.
At the same time,
In that open space, Mu Yan, who was sitting next to Xiao Gen, was slightly stunned, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
He looked up at the sky, his eyes gradually losing focus, and his whole attention had sunk into the imprint of paradise.

"Warning: From now until the end of the mission, you can choose to return to the amusement park at any time after fifteen minutes after you are out of combat!"

After reading the task carefully, Mu Yan still had a smile on his face, and his eyes had gradually become solemn.
