Chapter 22: Old Man Flint

"Who is it?"

The middle-aged man sitting on the wooden chair stood up suddenly, and he didn't know when he had an extra staff in his hand. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Don't be nervous, Branch President Bote. ”

At the position where the middle-aged man's staff was pointing, a figure slowly walked out.

"Are you?" said Bouter, who he frowned slightly, then dumbfounded, "You, are you, the purple-clad Extraordinary Magician, Lady Mendel Lin?"

Lin was not polite, but walked directly to the sofa in the room and sat down, and said, "Passing by Flint City, come and have a look." ”

"Disrespectful, disrespectful, if I had known that the Transcendent Magician was coming, I would have greeted him outside the gates. "This Bot is fat, and he looks a little crowded when he wears a black ** mage robe, just like the color of his robe, Bot is a high-level magician and is now the president of the Magic Association branch in Flint City.

"I'm here to ask you something. Lynn made her point of inquiry.

"You said, as long as I know, I'll tell you. Bot replied decisively.

"Ten years ago, did you have an alternative magician in Flint City?" asked Lynn.

"An alternative magician?" Bott thought for a moment, "what do you mean?"

"There have been some arguments with your guild over the academic study of magic, and if I'm not mistaken, the study of some kind of rock or mineral. ”

"Rocks, or mineral......s," Bott said after a moment's pause, "though I was just a regular member of the Guild at the time, I have the impression that there really is such a thing......

"Mr. Duan, there is Flint City ahead. "After another day and a half of walking in the forest, the cargo had been dumped in the makeshift camp, and the journey was much quicker than expected.

"Miaoke, is your teacher here?" Duan Xiaofei asked, looking at the city in front of him.

"Well, though, I haven't been here for ten years, and I've only had a few correspondence with the teacher during that time, so I don't know how the teacher is doing now. "Even the last time I sent a letter, it was a year ago. ”

"However, I don't think this city is very big, and if you remember where your teacher lived, it must be easy to find. "The walls of Flint City are not a little shorter than the magic capital, if you talk about the area, the city may not be as much as one-fifth of the magic capital, but this one is the national capital and the other is a border town, and they can't be compared with each other.

"Mr. Duan, we are about to cross the border, do you have any customs clearance documents?" Ward came to Duan Xiaofei's carriage and asked.

"Clearance documents?" Duan Xiaofei looked at Miao Ke, he didn't know what this thing was.

"We don't need customs clearance documents. Miao Ke took out the mage badge that Lin had thrown them from the space storage belt and said to Boss Ward.

"Alas, look at my brain, I forgot that both of you are magicians, and magicians are unimpeded no matter which city they are in. Ward patted his head and said.

Although Duan Xiaofei was not familiar with this kind of clearance process in the other world, after he showed his magician badge, the guards of Flint City who came to inspect obviously behaved respectfully, shouting one by one, and the two of them successfully entered the human city - Flint City.

The architecture of Flint City has a very unique style, the city is located in the east of the Blue Forest, and the south of Flint City is the Qianren Mountains, which are rich in a kind of brown rock, so the founders of Flint City simply used this material to build the city nearby.

In this way, there is also the flint city in front of you with a gray-brown tone.

After entering the city, Duan Xiaofei was naturally about to say goodbye to Ward's boss, Ward beckoned the guys of the caravan to gather together, and he first said to Duan Xiaofei: "Thank you for the help of the two magicians on this trip, otherwise we will all die in the forest, and my Ward has nothing to repay the two, this is the name brand of my caravan, if there is anything that can help in the future, I will definitely agree unconditionally." ”

Ward took out a palm-sized wooden card from his bag and handed it to Duan Xiaofei.

Although the wooden plaque has been simply carved, it still looks crude, and only Ward's name is engraved on it.

"Okay, then I'll take it, Boss Ward doesn't have to be too polite, we can be regarded as brothers who have experienced life and death. Duan Xiaofei took the wooden sign and asked Miao Ke to put it in the space storage bag.

"Miao Ke, although Flint City is not big, the streets are also a little complicated, do you remember where the teacher lived?" After Duan Xiaofei and Miao Ke said goodbye to Ward, they walked along the streets of Flint City.

"The east side of Flint City is next to Flint Mountain, and the teacher's house is not far from the foot of Flint Mountain. Miao Ke pointed in the direction of the east side of Flint City, but because of the blocking of the houses, they could not see the Flint Mountain outside the city for the time being.

"However, I haven't been here for ten years, and Flint City has changed a lot, and I may not be able to find it all at once. ”

"It's okay, it's almost night, find an inn to rest first, and then go to your teacher early tomorrow morning. Duan Xiaofei said.

"Old man Flint, immersed in the theory of immersion for decades, has invented five new magic potion formulas......"

In a dilapidated room, a slender woman stood in front of the window of the house, looked at the mountain in front of her, and said to herself: "However, because a new idea has been proposed in the theory of magic, it is considered by the Magicians Association to be a blasphemy against the gods of all things, and it is disrespectful to magic. ”

So Old Man Flint escaped from the Atlantic Empire and went to the border city, Sin City, where he lived for at least ten years. ”

The woman gently helped the dusty table top in the room, pinched the dust with her fingertips, and continued: "However, for some unknown reason, he returned to Flint City and gave himself such a name - Old Man Flint. ”

"Old Man Flint ...... Does this 'flint' refer to the mountain in front of you?" he said, looking at the mountain that was not too high, "the flint mountain, rather than the flint slope, is just a mound of earth that rises slightly on the ground, so no one will want to use the name of the flint mountain to name themselves." ”

"However, after a few years at the foot of the Flint Mountain, the old man suddenly disappeared......" The woman looked into the room, which was still the same as it had been back then, with messily placed magic potion bottles, and messily stacked notebooks or manuscript papers, and the smell of rotting wood filled the room.

"Magical power does not come from the body of the magician, but from the resonance of the magician himself with the elements of nature. The woman spread out a piece of manuscript paper, read the words on it, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and said, "As I thought, theoretically, only a small reserve of basic magical energy is needed to attract a huge amount of natural elements, but there is no suitable person to conduct experiments. ”

"But what is the study of 'burning stones?'" said the woman, spreading out a few more sheets of paper, "charcoal, brimstone, and some kind of ore from the flint mountain...... It seems that this new recipe is not finished, and if the results of the tests he records are to be judged, at least three natural materials, and three magic materials, are needed to achieve that effect, which is comparable to the explosion of the power of the intermediate fireball technique. ”
