Link could barely believe his ears, I'm a mage too, what does that mean old priest?

The old priest didn't say anything more, and smiled grimly at Link, proving his words with his actions. The old priest threw down the scimitar in his hand, stood up, his fingers deftly began to make a gesture of casting, and his mouth quickly chanted a incantation, and a soft ball of light appeared out of thin air from the old priest's hand, and was picked up by the old priest's slender fingers, and as soon as he let go, he jumped into the dark tent, floating silently in the air.

The soft light of the ball of light shone on Link's somewhat dull face, and Link looked at the old priest through the light, and could see the folds and age spots all over the old priest's skin, and a pair of narrow eyes were looking at Link proudly.

The zero-order apprentice spell Dance Light Technique is indeed a spell that can only be cast by mages, compared with the zero-order divine magic light technique that the priest can use, although the effect is the same, both create a light source, but the external manifestation is completely different, and the spell casting fluctuations caused by divine magic and arcane are also completely different.

Unlike Arcane, the priest's divine skills are given by the gods of faith, and the priest does not need to prepare spells with a spell book every day like a mage, but instead pray to his own deity every day for the divine magic he needs.

The priest by practicing the concept of the gods, increasing the divine power of the gods, exercising their souls to make themselves stronger, the divine magic given by the gods directly engraved the divine model into the priest's soul, so the priest does not need to study the divine model as hard as a mage, when casting the divine magic, directly use the spiritual power to guide the divine model, draw energy from the magic net, and successfully cast the divine magic.

Since the magic is given by the gods, there will be obvious positive energy or negative energy escaping when the magic is cast, and the arcane spell does not, so Link can clearly tell that the old priest is using arcane and not magical.

The old priest looked at the sluggish Link, nodded with satisfaction, squatted down again, and said slowly, "So, everyone is the same kind, tell me where the magic items you hid are, okay?"

Link came back to his senses, smiled mockingly at the old priest, and closed his eyes to look at him again.

Although I didn't expect the old priest to be a strong man with the dual profession of mage and priest, but so what? The hostile relationship between the two sides has not changed in the slightest, the old priest is still jealous of Zaya, he is still Link's enemy, and he will not send money and equipment to rush to be Link's teacher just because Link is a mage apprentice. Judging from the old priest's suspicion of deliberately cheating his gifted apprentice, Link really recognized him as a teacher, and it didn't end well.

The old priest didn't care when he saw Link's uncooperative attitude, and said casually: "Since you were born for so many years, there have been no strange phenomena around you, so you are not a warlock, but a mage. No mage will jump out of the cracks in the stones, even if you get some inheritance in the desert, but no one will teach you, you don't even know the lingua franca, how to learn it, so someone will teach you. ”

After thinking for a moment, the old priest said, "Did Niata teach you?"

Link was startled, and was about to lie to protect Niata, but he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything to refute it, the old priest was not a fool.

Niata used to be responsible for delivering food to the tribe's exiled witches for several years, and now Niata is so close to herself, she has become a mage apprentice, no matter how you want to be inseparable from Niata, of course, it is also possible that Link learned spells from exiles outside the tribe, but even so, Niata, who has been messing with herself all day, is also an insider, and can't avoid the investigation of the old priest. As long as you investigate carefully, Niata's identity as a mage cannot be hidden.

The old priest had obviously figured this out for a long time, and looked at the speechless Link with a smile, Link tried to struggle again, but found that he couldn't even move his fingers under the suppression of the ancestral spirit, and couldn't help but feel a sadness in his heart: "Is this the end? It's a pity that I couldn't even get out of the desert." ”

The old priest didn't pay any attention to Link, but looked at the ball of light he had created, and the flickering ball of light reflected the old priest's wrinkled old face, "I really didn't expect her to secretly leave an apprentice." The old priest muttered to himself.

Link listened to the old priest with his ears open, "she" meant Niata's teacher? The old priest was also a mage, and it seemed that he and Niata's teacher were really old acquaintances.

Just as Link was about to get more information, the old priest stopped talking, and there was silence between the two.

After a while, the ball of light made by the old priest went out, and the old priest's face was hidden in the darkness, and where Link couldn't see, the old priest waved his hand, and the ancestral spirit that had been suppressing Link jumped aside, and Link regained his freedom.

Link stood up, and was a little overwhelmed when the old priest asked abruptly, "Do you know what this is?"

Link looked in the direction the old priest was pointing and said inexplicably, "Ancestral Spirit"

The old priest stood again in the moonlight, his face a little crazy, and Link stepped back cautiously. The old priest looked at the ancestral spirit obsessively, but the next moment he spat at the ancestral spirit, cursed the ancestral spirit loudly, and even kicked the ancestral spirit with his feet from time to time.

Link looked at the somewhat crazy old priest, a little nervous, but seeing the old priest's still rational gaze, Link wisely gave up his actions and looked at the glazed ancestral spirit instead.

The old priest glanced at Link warringly, and began to explain the ancestral spirits to Link.

Originally, the ancestral spirit had the mind of a beast, and the previous priest also respectfully led the people to worship the ancestral spirit, but when it came to the old priest, the talented old priest used the technology of excavating the ruins of Nesser, fused his arcane knowledge with the local inheritance of witchcraft, sacrificed his master and brothers, and successfully refined the ancestral spirit into what it is now.

In the past, the ancestral spirits had divine intelligence, whether it was to give divine magic or fight in person, the priests had to contribute tribute, and even sacrifice their own lifespan, but now the ancestral spirits that are refined do not need these, and they are already tools that are completely obeyed by the old priests.

Link looked at the ancestral spirit in front of him enviously, "This technique sounds pretty good!"

At this time, the old priest no longer introduced his powerful technology, but said with a dark smile: "Let you see another use of the ancestral spirit!"

As he spoke, he pointed at the ancestral spirit, and the red light in the eyes of the transparent lizard suddenly bloomed, and then a red light shot out of his eyes, directly hitting Link who couldn't dodge, Link felt a cold in his body again, and he couldn't stand still, and fell to the ground dizzy.

I only heard the old priest say calmly: "It's a pity that the ancestral spirit can't generate the magic technique to control the mind, otherwise it will be simple, I have a curse on you, you can experience it yourself, and figure it out to come to me with magic items." ”

As the old priest spoke, Link only felt a sharp pain coming from all over his body, and before the old priest could leave, he lost consciousness.
