Chapter 3: The Other Side of the World
Chapter 3: The Other Side of the World
The magical legacy in The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a Merlin vein of European tradition. Thousands of years ago, Balthazar, Veronica, and Hobbes were both disciples of Merlin. From the current perspective, they can be regarded as the camp of justice and order. They believe in magic and only use the power of magic to protect the world.
Morgana is a mage from the dark camp, and she has a heart that is more proud than any other mage. Never considering herself a servant of magic, she wants to control magic, become the strongest mage, and rule the world. She persuaded Merlin's disciple Hobbes to side with her. When she duels with Merlin, Hobbes comes to her aid and helps her kill her teacher.
Balsa and Veronica were unable to defeat Morgana. In desperation, Veronica imprisoned Morganana's soul in her own body. And let Balthazar seal himself in a magical prison. From then on, Balsa began his own path against the dark mage. During his long life, he caught his brother who betrayed his master, Hobbes, and also imprisoned him in a magical prison. And he himself followed his teacher's instructions and looked around for Merlin's heirs.
For Morgana, in fact, in addition to being the last to rule the world, her views actually made Lin Xuan feel more agreeable. It's just that this kind of dark camp that seems to rule the world at every turn is really not an ideal object to take refuge into. Who knows when, the other party will use you as a sacrifice for black magic. So Lin Xuan thought about it again and again, and decided to choose Balthazar's side.
Brooklyn, New York. It's a fairly old-fashioned neighborhood. Under the bustle of Brooklyn, it seems quite out of place. At the end of the street, there is an antique shop. It's time for the whole street, just this one shop. The bleakness of its business can be imagined. In fact, in the vast majority of cases, there won't be a single guest here for a week.
Not far from the street is an open park. The view is so wide that you can see the Statue of Liberty directly. A group of elementary school students are conducting an outdoor class under the guidance of a teacher. Dave was one of the kids in the group, and he had good grades. But elementary school in the U.S. isn't a place to look at grades. His various Form 2 behaviours made him not very popular among his classmates. However, this kid's ability to flirt with girls is good, and he has already hooked up with the future class flower-level girl Peppa at a young age.
The teacher tells the story of the Statue of Liberty in the front. Dave used a small note to tease the girl underneath. He wrote a question on a note, do you want to be Dave's friend or girlfriend. Ab two options. As for what the teacher said, he had no idea, but he was looking forward to Paige's answer.
It's a pity that it backfired, and the note was blown away by the wind. He ran after the note and ran into an old alley. Dave, who had a head full of notes, didn't notice the strangeness here, and just ran forward with his head down. At the end of the alley is an antique shop, and Dave watches the notes fly towards the antique shop. It's just that right at the door of the antique store that the note suddenly fell.
Dave ran over and picked up the note. I saw a heart drawn on it. Dave, who was full of joy, didn't even notice the antique shop in front of him, picked up the note and prepared to run back. It was then that he felt some faint voice calling out to him. He stopped and looked back at the antique shop, trying to make sure. But it was, a voice came, interrupting his listening.
"Kid, what are you doing here? What about your teachers? "If you're an adult, you should be alert. Isn't it better to ask your parents at this time? However, Dave, who is only a teenager, obviously does not have this IQ. He instinctively thought of the angry face of the leading teacher, and began to run back with a shudder. As for that faint voice, it had long been left behind by him.
Lin Xuan looked at the back of Dave leaving, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly. It was obvious that the Dragon's Ring was summoning Dave just now, but it was interrupted by Lin Xuan. The Dragon's Ring without its owner is obviously not able to exert its due power, and can only be guided at a limited distance. But now that Lin Xuan has arrived here, Dave should go home and be your good boy.
Lin Xuan turned his head and looked at the antique shop in front of him. After brewing his emotions for a moment, he pushed open the door and walked in.
The house is filled with all sorts of antiques and things that look messy. From taxidermy of various animals, to Chinese-style porcelain, to some weird dolls, and even an oil lamp that will appear with the legendary one and an elf will fulfill your three wishes.
Lin Xuan cautiously bypassed the huge vase that was said to be trapped inside for ten years if anyone opened it. Try not to touch anything yourself. The vast majority of the things in this shop are magical items, and some are even quite dangerous. He didn't want to be a frog for some reason.
"Anyone?" He asked in proficient English. He is not a foreign language major, but he has a good command of English for normal communication. After gaining the ability to traverse, there is a bad remedy. Now his level can be completely fake.
Bartha, played by Nicolas Cage, walks out. "How can you help?"
"I'm ......" Lin Xuan opened his mouth with a look of embarrassment, but immediately stopped.
"I don't know, I'm just ......" he couldn't say a complete sentence, as if there was something unspeakable.
"Do you have any difficulties?" Balsa asked. The young man in front of him gave him a strange feeling.
"Yes, I'm looking for some...... Answer. Lin Xuan became more and more nervous. Emotions are also starting to fluctuate. At this moment, Balsa was keenly aware of something.
His eyes changed.
"This kid, am I feeling wrong? This level of mental power. But in the next second, Lin Xuan proved his idea.
I saw that with the fluctuation of Lin Xuan's mood, the surrounding items actually shook slightly. Seeing this, Lin Xuan seemed to have done something wrong, and became even more nervous. As his body trembled, the objects around him swayed even more.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Lin Xuan, who had finally calmed down, seemed to think that his actions had frightened the other party. "I just felt like there was a power here that was similar to mine, and I thought I'd find one of my kind. Excuse me. Lin Xuan said that he was about to leave.
That's when Balsa reacted.
"Wait a minute, kid."
Lin Xuan stopped and looked at him blankly. At this time, Lin Xuan had completely fallen into a role-play. He didn't need to do too much arrangement, as long as he disguised himself as a young man with super mental power and couldn't control himself, and Balsa would make up the rest of the rest. I saw Baltha, with a slight movement of his fingers, a vase in front of him slowly floated.
At that moment, Lin Xuan seemed to have found an organization. showed a mixture of excitement, relief, surprise, and countless other emotions. At this moment, he felt that he could definitely win the Oscar. And it is the most valuable actor award.
"I knew it, I knew it...... I won't be the only one, you are too, you are too......" He danced excitedly, not knowing what to say.
Balsa didn't interrupt him, just looked at Lin Xuan who was quietly looking at him. Wait until Lin Xuan calms down before he speaks.
"You're not alone, kid. On the contrary, you will become a great person. Now do you want to see a different side of the world? ”
Lin Xuan nodded blankly and agreed, but what Balsa didn't see was that the corners of Lin Xuan's mouth showed a smile like a successful plan, and it disappeared in a flash.
