Chapter 15: The Book of Elements
Wu Ming's heart was full of strange feelings, and he couldn't help but be silent for a while. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
If this Dave is the protagonist, Balthazar is at least the second male lead, and he shouldn't have died so early.
After thinking about it for a while, Wu Ming suddenly thought of the role of Balthazar in the movie.
Among the magician's apprentices, Balthazar, the second male lead, plays the main role of setting off the protagonist and leading the protagonist to the path of magic.
But now, the emergence of Wu Ming, in a sense, completely replaces Balthazar.
If this is a change in the script, Wu Ming has a lot of interaction with the protagonist, and he has already surpassed Balthazar and others. Perhaps, from another point of view, Wu Ming is the real male number two, and Balthazar has become a box lunch.
If this is the case, it is not impossible for Balthazar to receive a boxed lunch directly. Hehe, that's interesting, is this a script change? What role am I playing in this new script? ”
Wu Ming touched his chin, as if he had thought of something funny.
After all, Wu Ming is an out-and-out outsider to this world.
If it is really like what he thinks, it shows that the world itself does not reject him, which is excellent news for Wu Ming.
"Mentor Wu Ming, how about we make a deal?"
Dave didn't know when he was already standing up, still holding an old tin box in his hand.
"What deal?"
Wu Ming looked at the iron box in Dave's hand, where he felt the fluctuation of magic power, indicating that the things in it were not simple.
Under Wu Ming's gaze, Dave did not speak, but opened the dusty box.
The moment the box was opened, a colorful magical light flashed, and inside was a red magic book.
"Mentor Balthazar is very defensive. But I think you can be trusted. Now, I'm going to make a deal with you with this magic book. ”
As Dave spoke, he handed the box to Wu Ming along with the magic book inside.
Wu Ming looked at Dave quietly, he didn't choose to take it, but said with a smile: "As the heir of Merlin, Balthazar is strict with me, and even before being sealed, he wrote to me to take care of you." Now I understand that what he wants is not for me to take care of you, but to get as far away from you as possible! ”
At this moment, Wu Ming restored Balthazar's true thoughts little by little through one true image.
Originally, he thought that Balthazar wrote to him to take care of Dave himself and not let Dave be wasted in the past ten years.
But now, Dave himself said that before Balthazar was sealed, he was asked to leave directly, so the meaning changed.
While writing letters to himself, he asked Dave to remain incognito.
It's not Balthazar's head in the water, it's his real intention, never to entrust Dave to himself. Even on the contrary, Balthazar was very vigilant in his heart, and even did not hesitate to use the magic book in the antique shop to restrain Wu Ming's footsteps. From beginning to end, he had no intention of entrusting Dave, and wrote a letter just to let Wu Ming enter the game and remove Dave from the game.
"Starting with a distress letter and using a magic book as a lead, let me jump from the outside and into the game. He also sternly told Dave to hide from me incognito, and use the Elemental Magic Book as a hole card to save his life. ”
Wu Ming sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Balthazar, I'm really convinced!" How much you don't trust me, you actually put up this chess game, so that I haven't doubted it for ten years. If you hadn't sought your own death, I'm afraid I'd have been kept in the dark by you. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, you underestimate Dave's gambling nature, and you also underestimate the fate in the dark! ”
With a sigh of emotion, Wu Ming took out the elemental magic book in the iron box.
After searching for the elemental magic book in his hand for many years, Wu Ming did not have any pride, and said: "Ten years ago, when I received Balthazar's distress letter, I thought I was smart and felt that I had seen through Balthazar's thoughts. Hey, ten years, a whole decade. Today I realized that I was smart but was mistaken by being smart! And you, who are also a good actor, can actually bury this matter in the bottom of my heart, so I didn't notice it at all! ”
The further he spoke, the colder Wu Ming's voice became, and the temperature around him actually dropped.
"Mentor, do you think I'm cheating on you?"
Dave shook his head slightly and said, "No, in fact, in this, the person who really has no choice is me." ”
"How?" Wu Ming frowned slightly and looked at Dave in front of him.
"Mentor, there are people who are born for magic, like you and me. On that day, if I had listened to Balthazar instead of following my instincts, I might have lost my interest in magic. So, I hid this secret for ten years, because I hid this secret, and you taught me ten years! ”
Dave's words were somewhat hesitant at first, but later on, they became impassioned.
Wu Ming watched this scene quietly, his fingers running over the cover of the Book of Elements.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to say that Dave was right.
The reason why Wu Ming is willing to wait for ten years in this world is that he is willing to teach Dave for ten years. It's not just a matter of hitting it off at first sight, nor is it a desire to be a grandfather.
Interests, everything is interests.
Dave has interests that make Wu Ming's heart move, if Dave takes out this Book of Elements when they first meet, he will not waste his time on Dave's body 100%.
"Mentor, you love magic so much, you want to be strong. If you were me, what would you choose? It was to hand over the magic book, and never had anything to do with magic. Or hide the magic book and become another mage's apprentice? ”
Dave said in a low tone, "Mentor, I didn't have a choice. I don't want to say goodbye to magic, so I've hidden this magic book because that's the only way I can learn from you. ”
"Actually, you can give it to me, and I'll still ......"
Wu Ming was only halfway through his words, and he couldn't say any more.
For the past ten years, he has instructed Dave for an hour a day, which can be regarded as semi-teaching entertainment. If this profound book of elements fell into Wu Ming's hands, how could he have time to teach Dave magic, and he would have gone into retreat and penance.
Unable to deceive himself, Wu Ming could only divert the topic and said, "Dave, now that you have taken out this book, you are not afraid that I will kill people and treasures?" ”
Saying this, Wu Ming carefully observed Dave's eyes.
To be honest, it is impossible for Wu Ming to kill Duobao, not because of his ten-year friendship with Dave, but because he knows that Dave is not simple.
In the movie Apprentice of the Sorcerer, Dave, at the last moment, has been beaten into a dog by Morgana who escaped from the seal.
But in this case, Dave awakened to the bequest from Merlin and suppressed it in one fell swoop.
Therefore, Wu Ming is reluctant to tear his face, otherwise if Dave awakens directly, his fate will not be much better than that of Mogana.
Of course, Dave didn't know that, so it was a test.
"I'm afraid, how can I not be afraid."
Dave didn't know what Wu Ming was thinking, so he could only admit: "I'm scared, but I'm willing to try." Otherwise, Balthazar is already dead, and you choose to leave, Mentor. With me alone, I can't escape Horvath's pursuit. ”
"When you grow up, you can have this awareness, which means that you have grown up!"
Wu Ming nodded noncommittally, to say that he helped Dave before because of Balthazar, a master of magic.
Then after Balthazar's death, Dave lost his former value.
Dave was not confused by the ten years of getting along, and chose to directly take out the Book of Elements that had been hidden for ten years, which shows that Dave has learned how to choose.
Life is a multiple-choice question, and whether it's right or wrong, you have to write the answer.
Wu Ming was very relieved at the moment, he didn't think that Dave's hiding the magic book was a deception to himself. Because if the two sides change positions, he will do the same, and he can only blame himself for not realizing it.
"Three months, the value of this book is very high, I can guarantee you three months without worry. In the meantime, if Horvath comes to the door, I'll stop him for you. ”
"Half a year, Merlin's Book was originally given to you, half a year."
"The Book of Merlin!"
Hearing that Dave took out the Book of Merlin and traded it with him, Wu Ming also pondered a little.
"Yes, it's fair trade ......"
