8. The legend of Gandalf
The apprentice mage named Gandalf was clearly not a good storyteller, and the story of his short thirteen years from birth to the age of thirteen was repeated in his mouth for more than two hours, in the middle of which Elivan smoked three cigarettes, yawned countless times, and the donkey scared sixteen children into tears, and Gandalf finally finished his story.

To put it simply, this is a very popular routine in the previous life, Gandalf, a noble son who was born rich and noble, was not valued at home since he was a child because of his mother's humble background, but he was talented and intelligent, so he was suppressed and excluded by his brothers and sisters, and those little fools released all kinds of rumors and finally sent Gandalf to Sam City to Sam City to learn from mages in a fit of anger, but unfortunately this little guy seems to be born unsociable, destined to be a lonely star, and on the third day of his arrival in Sam City, he was pressed and beaten in the dormitory by other apprentices, and since then the days have been trembling and having no fun at all, but he was so gifted and intelligent that his mentor liked him very much, so he took him out of the dormitory and put him by his side, and Gandalf, who finally had good luck, seemed to rise from here...... That's weird!
I don't know if it's because this guy has suffered too many blows since he was a child and formed a psychological shadow, or if he is cowardly by nature and bullied by others and causes his personality to be distorted, in short, although he used one year to learn the apprenticeship knowledge that other fools need three or even five years to learn, and he also accumulated magic enough to become a junior mage, but the three promotion ceremonies before and after all ended in failure, and finally his good-tempered mentor couldn't stand it anymore, and drove him out of the mage tower, and became one of the many mage apprentices who managed the black prison and had no hope of promotion, until he was pulled by the senior brother who had been bullying him to arrest Elivan just nowใ
"Ah, that's a sad story. โ
Elivan, who was holding a fourth cigarette, looked at Gandalf with his head down a little speechlessly, this guy is even more unlucky than the protagonists of those waste streams in the novels of his previous life, but his problem is very simple, in Eleven's opinion, this is a common mental illness, in his previous life, as long as he found a reliable psychologist to do a few courses of psychological intervention, he could solve a small problem that could be solved by a few courses of psychological intervention, as a front-line researcher in the secret base, he had received a lot of similar treatments, but now he didn't have time to pay attention to Gandalf's psychological problems, so he simply took another more direct wayใ
"Hey, kid, do you know what your problem is?"
Elevenn squinted at Gandalf, who had avoided eye contact with him during the conversation, even though he had known him well.
"Maybe someone tells you you you need courage, or your stupid guru tells you you need wisdom, but that's all fart! Gandalf, Gandalf, all you need is to find yourself, you know?"
"I... Yourself?"
Elivan's words made Gandalf a little puzzled, he raised his head, saw Elivan's sharp eyes, and quickly lowered his head again, in fact, many people who cared about him also tried to give him confidence, but they all failed, they gave various reasons, but none of them had this one that Elivan said, and finding himself made him feel... Well, it's abstract.
"Raise your head, Gandalf! Whether you are a descendant of a legendary nobleman or a mage who pursues the truth, these identities do not allow you to live with your head bowed for the rest of your life!"
Eleven's tone became more and more harsh, but under this pressure, Gandalf actually raised his head a little, but looking directly at Eleven, his face quickly turned red, and a little sweat appeared on his forehead, it was obvious that the pressure on this guy in front of him was really great.
"Hey..."
Elevenn shook his head, this action made Gandalf feel a wave of shame, did he really have to keep this cowardly appearance forever and live for the rest of his life?
"What is your ideal? Tell me, Gandalf!"
"Ideal..."
The boy fell into deep thought, once upon a time, living in the most dilapidated courtyard of that luxurious manor, he himself had this beautiful word, but now? What is his ideal now? Is it not to be bullied? No, no!
He remembered the scene when he first saw the mentor fighting another high-level mage in the training ground, the bursting flames, the flying ice blades, made his blood boil, he dreamed countless times that he was flying in the dark sky on a huge harrier eagle, using the staff in his hand to fight against the demons who came out of the apocalypse, behind him, countless knights began to charge, in front of him, the orcs who could not see the edge were roaring, that was his real dream.
"I... I'm going to be the strongest mage!"
"What, I didn't make it? Gandalf, be louder!"
"I, I'm going to be the strongest mage!!"
"Louder and let the world hear your ideals!"
Elivan grabbed the young man's thin arm with his bound hands and shouted at him, but this time it did not make Gandalf feel afraid, on the contrary, the temperature from that hand made his mood even more intense, and no one ever asked about his ideals, and no one ever looked at him,
"I... Gandalf Tomil... Become the strongest mage in the world!"
The boy seemed to want to vent all the injustice and humiliation he had suffered in the past thirteen years, he clenched his fists and roared towards the sky, the noon sun dispersed the crowd around him, this roar only aroused a few frightened birds, in Elivan's eyes, although the haze on the young man in front of him had not been dispelled, but at least he took the first step, didn't he? He couldn't help but feel a burst of comfort from his heart, sure enough, helping people is the happiest thing.
Thinking of this, Elivan stood up, pulled the young apprentice who was with wide eyes and tears to the railing on the other side, and pointed to the Nine Towers on the other side of the city with his bound hands.
"Son, let me tell you a story, once upon a time, there was a little boy who grew up in an aristocratic family like you, and he was detected to have the highest level of magic star Aquatic Blue Lotus since he was a child, and his future is almost bright......"
Elivan told his story slowly, there was no trace of anger in his eyes, only the sharpness and hatred hidden in it, the distorted and crazy eyes, I have to say, very scary, but Gandalf was caught in the story, he didn't observe Elivan's face, he couldn't imagine what he would do if that child was himself, facing the destruction of his family, facing his grandfather who died in front of him, facing an enemy that he had no hope of defeating?
And so, now, the boy came, and he came again to the city of Sam, and he swore to make the lowly people pay for what they had done. โ
After speaking, Elivan glanced at Gandalf, who was deep in thought, and continued,
"You might think that those lowly people have 10,000 ways to tear that child's body apart in an instant, but so what? they may be able to tear him apart easily, but they will never be able to defeat him. โ
Gandalf opened his eyes, Eleven's last words made his blood almost boil, looking back on the past thirteen years, Gandalf suddenly felt that he was stupid, maybe he was very weak, but so what? They can bully, only their own body can be insulted, but their spirit and soul are ten thousand times stronger than theirs, so why let them bully and let them insult! Why didn't he think of resisting?
"Kid, open your eyes and see, Sam City is too small, the small one suffocates me, and the Council of the Nine Towers is too small, can this lifeless pond really allow you to fulfill your dreams? Think of your brothers and sisters who are proud of bullying those who are weaker than yourself, think of your mentor who chose to give up on you because of one or two failures, is this really what you want? No, no. โ
Elivan patted the thoughtful Gandalf on the shoulder with the appearance of a life coach,
"Go out and see, child, get out of this little pond, out of the gray plains, out of the southern hills, to the northern tundra, to the stormy bays, to the doomsday volcanoes, to see the most beautiful scenery of the Shire, to climb the mountains of the endless storms that no one can conquer, to explore the dark and vast dark regions, to worship the ruins of Nether across the starfields, to make your body a warrior, your spirit to be a man, and your strength strong enough to bear your dreams. โ
At this, Elivan suddenly grimaced at Gandalf, who was looking at him adoringly, startling the latter, but then he laughed,
"I'm not telling you this because of sympathy, who would be willing to give their life for sympathy? You will become a legend, from the time I hear your name, this is the starting point of your legend, forget all the garbage that the Nine Towers have taught you, do me a small favor, I will give you a new beginning, and promise more than the Nine Towers can give you. โ
Gandalf, on the other hand, did not appreciate the meaning of Elivan's words, only thirteen years old and without the slightest social experience, he had long been attracted by the crazy future described by Elivan, and even did not hesitate to sacrifice everything he had for this magnificent future, after all, he was just a child.
"Very well, come, come here, and I'll tell you what you have to do. โ
--------------------------------------------------------
Is Eleven really that kind as to offer to help a teenager untie his heart, especially when Pars's fate is uncertain.
Of course not, maybe he saw the shadow of himself in the boy when he talked to Gandalf at first, but when he was bored and used the Book of Ten Thousand Laws in his pocket to make an assessment of Gandalf, he immediately changed his mind.
"Gandalf Tomele (Feron Mutant Magic System Mage Apprentice)"
"Possession Item: Pine Wand - Low-grade alchemy product"
"Features: Suspected Hidden Magic Star - Bright Purple Lotus"
"Character Overall Strength: Very Low"
"Threat: None"
Bright Purple Lotus !!
It is the third mutant of the top ten plant system king astrological phenomena one level higher than their own aquatic blue lotus, and there are only three guys with this kind of star in the known history, but all of them are earth-shattering figures, the legendary desert emperor Nether, the seventh tower master of the Tower of Stars and Moon, and the founding emperor of the Dan Lunzas Empire, one of the three major empires, are all people who have left a strong mark in history and reached the top of the magic throne.
That is to say, as long as the kid in front of him lives safely, his wish to become the strongest mage will come true sooner or later, and the reason why this guy is so embarrassed now is that the bright purple lotus is a hidden astrology, if it is not checked by the top astrologer in person, most of them will think that it is another low-level astrological purple lotus, this hidden star also needs specific conditions to activate, once activated, Gandalf this guy will become light elemental affinity + max, light magic power +MAX's terrifying boss-level character.
It is precisely for this reason that Eliven has spent a lot of effort to trick Gandalf out of the Council of the Nine Towers, even if he can't become a comrade-in-arms with Gandalf, at least he can't be an enemy, he doesn't want a magic emperor to appear among his lifelong enemies in the future, it is definitely the most sour experience.
And the best thing is that this kid in front of him is one of the administrators of the Black Prison, although he has no real power, Elivan still gets the news he wants from him.
The fool Pars was indeed caught in the black prison for snooping on the Mogding Manor, which has become a forbidden place, and it is for this reason that the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce in Sam City was tragically destroyed, and the news was tightly sealed, but according to Gandalf, the water on Pars's body is actually very deep, because when he was on duty a few days ago, he saw the high-ranking mages of the Shadow Tower personally interrogate Pars more than once, which is a rare behavior in the black prison.
An hour later, an enraged Elivan and his donkey were handed over to the mages at the entrance to the Black Prison, and before being taken to the Black Prison, Elevenn turned back and shouted viciously to Gandalf, who was watching him,
"Damn boy, you dare to fuck your uncle, the next time I see you, you'll die!
Then he struggled to give a kick to the protector guard who was escorting him, and scolded viciously,
"Look at it! Buckle your eyeballs!"
Only then did everyone know what had happened from Elivan's scolding, and it was obvious that the bully in front of him had been overshadowed by Gandalf, who had always been known for his cowardice and cowardice, in the battle, and then he was caught, no one doubted how an apprentice could deal with this kind of guy who didn't look easy to mess with, in the new generation of the Nine Towers, the concept of mage invincibility has been deeply rooted in the brain, and it is incorrigible.
Gandalf, who was standing there, gave Ellevin one last deep look, turned and ran towards his quarters, holding a special disc the size of a gold coin, and Elevan told him that if he could do what he had been told, he would have all the knowledge he needed to advance from a mage apprentice to a senior mage in Bordeaux with the golden-encrusted roses.
Gandalf didn't have the slightest doubt, because before parting, Elivan quietly stuffed him with a scroll, which was part of the knowledge of the Seven Bad Magic-Demon Duncan Flying Sword, including spell casting gestures and spell casting materials, and even spell consumption were clear, you must know that just this scroll was considered a high-level secret in the Nine Towers Council, even if Elivan finally broke his promise, the value of this scroll was enough for Gandalf to get everything he needed in other magical organizations.
What's more, how could Gandalf, who had a pure heart, betray his soul master?
That's right, Elavin has become Gandalf's soul master, as he said, what if you are weak?
Half a day later, Gandalf, who was carrying a small burden, stood at the gate of Sam City like a fleeing child, he looked back at the place where he had lived for several years, and unexpectedly found that he did not have a trace of nostalgia in his heart, but was full of curiosity and fantasy about the new world, so he took a deep breath and strode out of the city gate, at this moment no one found that there was a cowardly little mage apprentice missing from Sam City, but when he really shined his light after a long journey, the people of this city could only look up to the unattainable figure, and even the city no longer existedใ
But that's another story.
