Chapter 19: The Holy Spirit blesses him
"Lear, come over here. ”
At this time, Lear had just thrown a mouse into a container full of alchemical materials, and Aryriel needed to know how much the combination of the deer grass and the Corleone dragon's slime would have an effect on the injury, so that Lear had cut a not-so-long wound in the belly of the mouse before throwing it in, and he still needed to do these things for Aryriel before becoming a real magician.
The mouse's wound had just begun to heal, and Lear's voice could be heard from behind him.
"Dear Mentor, what do you command?"
Although he was only one step away from being a magician, Lear still remembered his status as a magic apprentice without any arrogance or pampering, which was also very gratifying to Elleriel.
"Do you want to learn real spells?"
"Huh?"
This question made Lear suddenly stunned, of course he knew the rules, so he had never made any requests to his mentor in this regard, and Elleriel suddenly took the initiative at this time, which made him a little puzzled.
"Forget it, I won't hide it from you, the academy won't let me say it, but you also know my character, I'll tell you the cause and effect, and then you decide for yourself, if you dare to go out and talk nonsense, I'll crush your balls and stuff them into your mouth. ”
This is the real Eleryll.
"In the name of the Tower of Mages, I will keep my mouth shut. ”
Although Lear is not a real magician at the moment and is not qualified to swear in the name of the Mage Tower, Aryrael, who knows that he will come to this point sooner or later, does not really care, because if Lear dares to go out and talk nonsense, as she said before, she will definitely tear off Lear's egg and stuff it into his mouth, which is the real reason why she has no fear.
"You know Tanan, that Krulrod barbarian, he failed. ”
Lear was not surprised to hear the news, but he tried his best to pretend to be in disbelief in order to cooperate with Aryrill.
"Ahh
Alieriel gave him a disgruntled look, as if she was very disdainful of the exaggerated tone he had deliberately pretended.
"Shut up, don't pretend, you don't even have your eyelashes revealing that you don't care about this matter, maybe you haven't realized the importance of this matter, now I'll say, you just listen, don't be in a hurry after listening, you can tell me your decision slowly." I'll give you time. ”
After saying that, she didn't wait for Lear's answer, and continued to herself: "Tanan suffered a great defeat under the wall, he lost two-thirds of all his army and even his closest comrade-in-arms, General Hadak, and all his captains died in the subsequent breakout.
Although it is rumored that his army still maintains high morale and strong combat effectiveness, the most direct consequence of his defeat is that the army of the Wizard King has regained the advantage of the battlefield, you know that part of Tataria, including the land under your feet now, was once a colony of Bracada, and our people regained the glorious territory of their ancestors during the days when Tanan fought with the Wizard King, but we rejected him when Tanan later sent an alliance request to Her Majesty the Queen of Tartaglia,
In other words, if he has maintained a triumphant offensive posture, it will be fine, after all, this is a part of his former hometown, if he wins, he will not be too concerned with us, but now he has failed,
That means that the wrath of the wizarding king, which he had borne in our place, is now burning directly on us, and Gwen-Magnus will not allow anyone to offend his majesty, and he will inevitably demand that we withdraw from the land we occupy and give a huge amount of compensation, which we cannot accept in any way, this is the territory of our ancestors, and we must defend it to the death,
And because we had rejected Tanan, there was no way for us to seek his help, not to mention that he was now lost in the boundless darkness beneath the Peak, where it was rumored that Tanan had been bewitched by demons and turned from a hero to a bloodthirsty beast.
So the current situation is that we have to face the revenge of the wizard king on our own, and the war is approaching. ”
"So what does it have to do with whether or not I want to learn magic?"
Lear was a little depressed, which means that if the war doesn't start, you should never learn magic, and when the war starts, just give these magic apprentices a few skills and send them to the battlefield to be cannon fodder?
Who came up with such a bad idea?
"Don't be afraid, it's not what you think, well, it's not much worse, you listen to me first. ”
Ailereel took a sip of water and continued, "You know, the key to winning or losing a war is not only the duel between armies, but also the financial resources between countries, the level gap between the strongest that determines the battlefield situation, and logistical supply are all crucial factors.
In fact, Tataria has not become very strong for more than 200 years since the founding of the country, the key reason is that the swampy terrain has limited our development, our army has always been more defensive than enough offensive, and our mage team is also far from the red-robed mages under the Wizard King, and more importantly, the extensive and dense swamp terrain greatly limits our logistics and supply capabilities. ”
In this case, what else to fight, directly disarm and surrender, raise the white flag, and then cede the land and pay compensation, Lear thought depressedly.
But he could only babble this in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it.
"But we have the determination to defend the land and the country, and the heroic spirit of our ancestors to protect us!"
Sure enough, it was still like this in the end, and Lear sighed inwardly.
"We are determined and confident that the future enemies will be kept out of the country, and that the mire of Enris and the dunes of Sorot will defeat the invaders, and they will taste defeat and feel the thunderous wrath of the gods and beast tamers. ”
Determination may be there, faith or something, if you really have confidence, you don't need to be so nervous, after all, the prestige of Gwen-Magnus has been flying in the sky over this land for more than three hundred years, and anyone who thinks of facing the wrath of the wizard king can't help but be afraid.
Of course, except for the madman in Tanan, Lear knows his end very well, this kind of death and resurrection by the ancestors, death and resurrection by the ancestors, and then heaven and hell jumping everywhere, saving the soul and killing the dragon, countless goods compared to the wizard king, even if it is not as good as it is now, it will not be much worse in the future.
"So what exactly do I need to do?"
Lear really didn't want to listen to Aryrael talk like this, because he found that the more the other person spoke, the fear in his eyes became deeper, although she was trying her best to hide it in order not to lose face in front of her own student.
"Priest, our army needs priests, many, many priests, but our mages, as the main fighting force, cannot be invested in logistics and treatment, so someone has proposed to teach magic apprentices some simple magic to try to make up for our huge lack of priests. ”
So it's still cannon fodder, and Lear doesn't bother to complain anymore.
"And then, what magic is in store for us?"
"Holy Spirit Blessing, healing and exorcism, because of the time constraints, you are not required to master all three spells, as long as you can master one of them in a short period of time, and then we will send you to various armies according to your mastery of magic. All three of them are water-based magic, and they're tied to the main courses taught in our academy, so it won't be too difficult for you to get to grips with them. ”
Therefore, Young Master Ben's path to becoming a glorious nurse has not yet begun, and the profession of saving lives and helping the injured sounds very good.
"Of course, there is another point, that is, you are a special case, which is the fundamental reason why I tell you so much, because you will become a real mage at the beginning of spring next year, and I am 100% confident that you will be protected by the terms of the Continental Mage Association at that time, which means that no one can force you to go to war, and you are not a native of Tataria, so you have no obligation to defend the land for us.
I can give you three days to think about it, and then you tell me about your decision, whatever the outcome, I don't blame you, I'm proud to have a student like you. ”
Huh? It's still a moral choice question.
Although Aliriel said so, when she looked at herself, the little star in her eyes was not to pop out, and she could think of herself with her toes, and if she refused on the surface, she would not say anything, it would definitely break the heart of this lovely tutor.
After all, my current achievements are inseparable from the dedication of this beautiful lady.
Thinking about the general direction he has set for the future, it seems that there is no conflict with this matter, although the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, but he has the aura of the protagonist, how can he not be so unlucky, greater danger also means more opportunities, thinking of this, Lear has an idea in his heart.
"Are there any benefits if I decide to join?"
