"It's true that it's not worth exchanging the right to choose a collection for a Psychic Warlock, but if that Warlock can unite with a Legendary Mage to win the other two Legends, the meaning is different. Pen %Fun %www.biquge.info "Looking at Anthony, who was sitting across from him, with a look of concern for you, Toth said angrily, "And the news that Kern's notes are currently in the Society's collection seems to have only recently circulated." ”
"Looks like we're worried. Anthony was not at all ashamed to be told about it, or to the extent that they had already been pitted and thrown away the festival, he picked up the teacup and took a sip at random, and smiled at Toth, this kind of casual afternoon tea is one of the few eating times for the mages.
"Worried? It seems that the situation of our little red flower is not optimistic. Toth bit down on the dim sum and said vaguely that he had never been interested in tasteless black tea, but that this kind of dim sum from Belmar was very appetizing.
"Well, we've always had a problem with her teaching, and Keynes's actions have completely exposed the problem. But no matter how he said it, he was also an archmage of the same era as his teacher, and he had long been the object of admiration of the entire human race, more than that, even if he was scolded by you pointing his nose, the medium level of incitement was a bit effective at the time, and after calming down a little, he could figure it out. Waiting for Toth to swallow the last bite of his snack before Anthony continued, "I don't care about anything, the story has been told for so many years, but Keynes, who dared to face the mortal situation alone for the sake of mankind, has become like this, so how can Anna, who grew up listening to such stories, deal with herself." ”
"Hmm. Toth nodded, did not answer, Anthony took Anna out to play the bitter card, there must be some purpose, otherwise a senior legendary mage, or the president of the mage association, where is there time to waste here.
Toth's calm demeanor made Anthony feel a little embarrassed, after all, since Toth came here, even earlier, he has been planning, at first he just wanted to use Toth to muddy the waters of the legendary mage, and then the mistake led to Keynes in the deep water, Toth's every step exceeded expectations, but it is easy to ignore that the actual age of this guy is only about twenty.
"Marr, what happened before is indeed our problem, and the collection thing will be the last. Anthony stood up and made a slight mage salute, rarely using such a salutation, and said solemnly to Thoth.
"How can this be Mr. Anthony's fault, if he has to say the wrong thing, it is also the fault of the half-elf. Toth quickly stood up, and by the way, he blacked the dean, whom he had never met. In fact, from the very beginning, he saw these things as an exchange, and Anthony did not hide his purpose, he could be used by others, and it also proved the value of existence from the side.
The people of the Mage Association, although they are using themselves, but also taking into account his interests, just like the collection issue this time, although it is arranged, this exchange is still a good choice, after all, if Toth wants to block the favor of the legendary mage, he doesn't know what to do.
"You. Regardless of the dean's reaction when he heard the news, Anthony was keenly aware of Toth's great hostility towards half-elves, or even elves, but now was not a good time to discuss this issue, "Since you don't blame us, then submit a research topic for the legendary mage." ”
"Research topic? Don't want to get it. Toth shook his head lazily, it is not that you can become a legendary mage if you are strong, in addition to the interests of all parties, the research topic is also an indispensable and important part, this plan is about a five-year cycle, covering a very wide range of content, it can be the study of advanced magic, it can be the law of starry sky, and even ordinary social observation, provided that this subject can pass the assessment and get enough information.
Legendary mages who have not completed the task may be deprived of this status!
"Then you kid really have to find a corner nest for the rest of your life. Anthony said half-jokingly. It stands to reason that new Legendary Mages should be quite positive about the subject, which means that they can finally get enough support for their years of research, and then they are hollowed out in the five-year plan, and finally suffer until they meet a successor to continue this painful glory.
"That's not bad. Toth didn't seem to hear what Anthony meant, but rather a lazy gesture. In fact, he knew what Anthony meant, he didn't have enough foundation, he couldn't get a topic, and the possibility of being deprived of the qualification of a legendary mage after five years was 100 percent, and the difficulty of building a force in five years was not much smaller than building a strong mage tower, and building a powerful mage tower in five years? Not to mention Anthony, Toth himself didn't believe it.
Anthony is worried that Toth will not be able to take up a weighty topic, and there is some meaning of help in it, on the one hand, it is to make up for the guilt in his heart, and on the other hand, it also has the meaning of promoting newcomers, after all, Toth is still his nominal student.
"Legendary mage is my lifelong pursuit, I originally wanted to wait for me to be so old as you, study something casually, mix up a false position, and retire for a few years, but now all this is a bit unexpected. Toth shrugged his shoulders in frustration, saying that it had been a surprise so far.
A mage, especially a high-level mage, often can't just listen to the surface and follow his brain circuits in order to communicate happily, and at this time, it is perfect if he is talking to another high-level mage.
For example, Anthony now, if Toth can't come up with a topic at this time, then his life will be ruined, no one will joke about a long life, since he is still in the mood to ridicule, then he must have a plan, at least there is a clearer direction, took a sip of tea and said: "It is convenient to reveal, what kind of casual research is His Excellency Thoth's casual research?"
"Ever since the hundreds of human corpses were dug up from Keynes' mage tower, I was thinking about his relationship with the Duchy of Twasis, and instead of seeing intimacy, it revealed incomprehension everywhere, and even some ...... Stranger, yes, stranger, not just him, but the entire human community. "If Keynes's actions shattered Anna's long-standing values, for Toth it was a question worth spending a lot of time pondering.
"There is this strangeness between various professions, between all classes, is it this strangeness that makes the equality we have advocated for so many years have little effect. ”
"Eliminate this strangeness?" Anthony looked at the childlike Toth, it was hard to imagine that he had been thinking about such a serious question these days, "this subject is a bit big and difficult, but if we can study something, it will definitely help us a lot, good luck." ”
"I'll just say that, anyway, there are still five years, when do I remember to do it. Looking at Anthony, who was getting more and more serious, Toth, who was rarely serious, regained his tired temperament.
"Hmph, the young man is so hard-working, since you have a plan, I won't worry about it, there is a task here, wait for you to complete the promotion ceremony in a few days and go over and take a look." "As soon as the subject matter came to an end, Anthony immediately changed the subject, I can see Toth today when I have time, I don't know when the next time will be, it is best to solve everything at once this time.
"What mission?" asked Toth, who felt the carrier pigeon shake and probe for information.
"The Northern Chapter of the Magical Society has reported that there is something unusual in Christmas Town, and we have decided to send two legendary mages to investigate the situation. Anthony replied with a serious answer.
"Mission?huh? I'll just casually ask, this task is not a mandatory task that legendary mages have to complete every year, anyway, there is no shortage of expenses recently, so let's hurry up and go back to Raven Town." Toth laughed.
"Oh, no shortage of expenses, so let's talk about the repair work of the proving ground and the compensation for the damage caused by the destruction of the magic net. Anthony helped the glasses that he didn't know when he put them on, and said kindly, the legendary mage's discipline is negative most of the time, and he said that he would never pit himself again one second, and he didn't say this sentence the next second.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll go, can't I go!" Toth shook his head helplessly, he didn't have to think about it to know who the mage was with him, this level of exploration operation didn't need two legendary mages at all, and he talked so much, Anthony, the old man, hadn't forgotten to let himself explain Anna's matter.
"By the way, there is one more thing, the days of the celebration ceremony are numbered, so prepare well. Under the precise control of magic, Anthony, who was in a good mood, poured out the last drop of water in the pot, picked up the teacup and drank it down, "At the promotion celebration ceremony of the legendary mage, as the protagonist, you always have to say something, and you have to be attentive, but it will be recorded in the annals of history." ”
