From the bottom of his heart, Su Chen had always been worried that this powerful magician had mastered the art of mind reading, just like the joke he made with young David at the beginning of the film, if that was the case, then in front of him, all the efforts made by Su Chen would be useless, and even ridiculous.

But for now, the so-called mind-reading technique is just a joke - maybe there is such magic, at least Balthazar is not used on Su Chen.

"Don't be in a hurry, young man." Balthazar turned and walked into the counter, and took out a rustic, dusty wooden box from under the counter, "I have something for you to see." ”

When the wooden box was opened, a lizard dragon the size of a ping-pong ball and made of metal was vividly displayed in front of Su Chen.

This is the Dragon's Ring!

Su Chen held back the excitement in his heart and watched as Balthazar placed the lizard dragon in the palm of his hand and handed it to him.

The Great Magician slowly spoke, "This thing is very special, if it likes you, you can take it." ”

The most critical moment has arrived!

David in the movie is not so much the reincarnation of the Supreme Merlin, but rather that he has a high talent for magic, so he can be recognized by the Dragon Ring.

As Balthazar said in the film, ordinary people can only use 10% of their brains, and magicians can manipulate matter because they are born with the ability to use all of their brains - that is, beyond the range of 10%.

So when Su Chen used NZT and the efficiency of brain utilization increased greatly, could he be recognized by this lizard dragon?

Taking the lizard dragon from Balthazar's hand, Su Chen placed it in the palm of his hand at the same time. A sudden tingling pain struck in the depths of his mind. It almost made his hand tremble. Throw the ring on the ground.

Fortunately, the stinging sensation was fleeting, and the lizard dragon on his palm suddenly came to life, first shaking the wings and body behind him, and then crawling along his palm to the back of his hand.

As soon as Su Chen's hand flipped, he saw that the lizard dragon had his back to him, grabbed the index finger of his right hand, and a long tail curled a few times, tightly strangling his fingers. The head, wings, and claws curled up in a ball, transformed into a real "dragon ring"!

Seeing this scene, Su Chen was truly relieved, as long as he was recognized by the ring, Balthazar would automatically become his master.

Not only did Su Chen breathe a sigh of relief, but why wasn't Balthazar like this?

After hundreds of years of searching, the heir to the Dragon's Ring and the embodiment of the Supreme Merlin have been found, even if the child is slightly older and Asian.

But anyway. Balthazar could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"I've been searching for a long time, but you've miraculously appeared on your own. The ring on your hand is meaningful, young man. ”

The Great Magician closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then walked up to Su Chen, grabbed his shoulder and said, "This means that you will become a very important magician, and your first lesson will start with your scriptures." Don't move, don't touch anything. ”

With that, Balthazar turned around and ran towards the basement.

Su Chen knew that he was going to get the scriptures, and as for his advice and admonitions, of course Su Chen would implement them without any discount.

He would never die like David in the movie, accidentally unleashing Balthazar's nemesis, Horvas.

After Balthazar left, Su Chen carefully looked at the dragon ring on his finger, now he didn't feel anything different, and he didn't sense a trace of so-called "magic", it seems that the magic industry really needs to have a guide to do it.

But at this moment, there was a "knock" sound from the inside of the wall on the side.

As in the movie, Horvath probably noticed Balthazar's departure, so he wanted to use this method to attract Su Chen's attention and get out of the nesting doll.

"I'm sorry, you'd better stay inside!"

Su Chen didn't plan to run into Horwass so early, and after the nesting dolls inside the wall began to hit the inner wall non-stop, he immediately put his hand down and shouted in the direction of the basement: "Hey! Dude, there's something bumping into this wall! ”

"Don't touch anything!" Balthazar shouted.

Su Chen shrugged, "No problem, please hurry up, okay?" ”

At this time, Balthazar's movements were obviously much faster than in the movie, especially when he learned that there was movement inside the wall, and when he thought about it, he knew that it was Horvath who was playing tricks, and after taking the scriptures, he returned from the basement to the upper floor as quickly as possible.

As soon as Balthazar appeared, the sound of the crash inside the wall disappeared.

Su Chen pointed to the wall where the sound came from and said, "That's there, you raised an animal in it?" ”

Balthazar looked at the box that had fallen from the side of the wall and said in a deep voice, "No, there are the most evil beings in the world, and I must take care of them...... Let's not talk about that, let's take this scripture first. ”

Su Chen took the book, which was a little scary, and pretended not to know anything, "What is this?" Antique books? ”

Balthazar thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It can also be said that this is a scripture with a history of coming forward. ”

"Wow! It seems that it is qualified to be a national treasure. Su Chen was amazed, in reality, if there was a scripture book with a history of thousands of years, it would be just as valuable, let alone a special book for magicians.

"The scriptures are our textbooks!"

Balthazar said solemnly, "It contains the skills, science, and history of magic, including our recent history. ”

"Uh...... Sorry, what did you just say? Magic? Su Chen's eyes widened, pretending to be surprised, "I heard you right, you mean that there are magicians' spells in this book?" ”

As long as it is a normal human being, it is impossible for Balthazar to believe what he said immediately because of a few words, so Balthazar has long been prepared for this.

Under Su Chen's gaze, his palm shrank inward into a claw shape, and the plasma lightning ball, which had appeared many times in the movie, condensed and formed in an instant.

Boom!

With a wave of his hand, Balthazar flew out with an astonishing speed and hit the table next to him, breaking the entire wooden table in two on the spot.

Under Su Chen's "dumbfounded" expression, as soon as Balthazar stretched out his hand, a flame flew out of the fireplace not far away and fell into his palm.

"This ...... What is it? Oh my God, are you really a magician? Su Chen appropriately expressed his surprise and amazement, and lost no time in revealing his interest and fanaticism in his eyes.

This is much stronger than the actor David of the waste wood hanging silk, Balzesa in the movie worked hard and struggled, and it was not easy to persuade him to learn magic, but this guy was talented but didn't know how to study hard, but only thought about soaking. Girl.

Actually bubbles. Niu herself is not at fault, even Balthazar, the great magician who has lived for hundreds of years, can't forget her lover Veronica who is trapped in a nesting doll!

The key is that Davy's scum table is too incompetent, so that everyone who watched the movie catches chickens for his IQ, and it is no wonder that the movie itself is well-made, but the box office results are not good.

But none of this is Su Chen's business, he has changed the direction of this world, and also changed David's fate, and at the same time has allowed himself to be involved in the feud between Balthazar and Horvas.

One sincerely wants to study seriously, and the other is eager to teach each other immediately, so although the two have not yet recognized each other as masters and apprentices, they themselves have tacitly acquiesced to this.

Su Chen was holding the huge scripture, and Balthazar flipped through it with his hand, and directly turned to the page where the mage introduced.

"Look, you're here—"

The scriptures magically directly record Su Chen's physical characteristics, Balthazar's head is on it, on the left is Horvas, on the right is the Chinese evil mage Sun Le, and at the bottom is Su Chen, and the four of them are distributed on the pages in a diamond shape.

"Ah...... I have to say, I'm really ugly in the scriptures, can't I be more handsome? ”

Balthazar ignored Su Chen's tricks and continued, "Have you been free lately? I'm going to teach you how to use magic, it might take away from your downtime. ”

Su Chen nodded without hesitation and agreed, "No problem, I have time!" That one...... By the way, what should I call you? Do you call you Master, or Archmage? ”

"Call me Balthazar, I've been to China - about two hundred years ago, the title Master was not for me." Balthazar smiled slightly.

The two agreed on the time and plan to learn magic, and Su Chen left the antique shop for the time being, preparing to find a place to settle first.

The timeline of this world is currently between the year 2000, the junction of the new century and the last century, because there has not yet been a 911 terrorist attack, so the atmosphere in New York City is not tense, there is no zài anti-terrorism, and there are many restrictions on tourists from other countries.

It only took one afternoon to buy an entire apartment building near Balthazar's antique shop, not to mention the five floors, and the most important thing is that there is also a small basement, which is just used to practice magic.

After securing the residence, he also bought some necessary daily necessities, such as a car for transportation.

Su Chen plans to live here for three months at a time, as for the real world, anyway, he has already activated the new function of the pass, and if he goes back after three months, the time in the real world will only pass for a second.

That night, Su Chen invited Balthazar to live in the apartment building he bought, on the grounds that it would be convenient for him to consult the cultivation of magic in the vicinity for a period of time in the future, and Balthazar was also very pleased with his "diligence and studiousness", and readily agreed and moved into this apartment.

After dinner in the evening, the two went to the basement of the apartment, where Balthazar took a look at his surroundings and expressed his satisfaction with the place. (To be continued......)
