Chapter 13: The Old Ghost's Words

Dusk had long passed, and the goddess of the night, dressed in her overwhelming dark cloak, walked in the sky, dotted with stars twinkling in it.

On the streets, the bored residents of Lenta finished their man-making campaign early and turned off the lights to sleep, so there was no light on the road, and only by the silver light of the moon in the sky could they see the direction of the road.

At this time, in the deserted street, Ivan turned his head to the empty place beside him, and suddenly said: "Old ghost, you said that I chose the profession of mage, did I choose the wrong one?"

A cold wind blew, rolling up several useless paper baskets on the street, and a mysterious and ethereal voice reached Ivan's ears.

"Why, I regretted it. ”

The warm and clear voice, as if the other party was speaking in his ear, made Ivan frown a little uncomfortable.

"Of course not, but I think mages have some strange habits, that Aloobis actually uses human skulls as magic staffs, and I have heard that mages will raise some strange creatures and eat some weird and disgusting bugs or something, is this true or false?"

It was only after seeing the strangely dressed Aloobis that Ivan thought of one thing, and that was the impression of the mage that was rumored in the Empire.

Ivan has had a strong curiosity about extraordinary power since he was a child, so he often listens to some wandering poets tell stories, and under the shaping of the stories of wandering poets, Ivan has a mage in his mind.

Wearing the most ominous black robe, holding a staff made of strange materials in his hand, his skin as pale as snow, the strange and unpleasant smell of potions on his body, and eating some weird and disgusting insect grass leaves, it can be said that the mage is a bad character in Ivan's heart.

The other party smiled, "This kind of thing, the master doesn't mind at all, there is an old saying in my hometown, and I slowly get used to it when I spit it." ”

Ivan is full of black lines, so you might as well not say it.

"Hahahaha"

Listening to the other party's gloating laughter, Ivan couldn't help but recall that three months ago, when he was faced with choosing a second career, at that time, the old ghost gave him three suggestions.

The first one, cultivating the soil, is said to be the most powerful profession in the hometown of the old ghost, the mystery and the mystery, the door of all wonders, the immeasurable powers, the secret arts, the magic thunder, the exorcism of ghosts and demons, the yin and yang feng shui, the fate of the people, with all kinds of incredible abilities.

The second, the warrior, has similarities with the imperial riding soil and martial land, boiling the body, tempering martial arts, breaking the way with martial arts, punching the mountains and rivers, enlightening the martial arts, a leaf can tear the sky, and a small grass can also collapse the earth.

The third is the mage, a profession that Ivan knows and hears, exploring all the elements, life, mysteries, and the last knowledge, striking at the unpredictable with imagination and confirming the truth of the world with experiments.

In the face of these three professions that were almost the same, Ivan suddenly made a difficulty, and at this time, the old ghost said softly, and the balance in his heart instantly tilted.

"Master, I'm going to tell you, in fact, I'm also a mage. ”

Ivan was really moved at the time, after all, it was much better to have a familiar predecessor to guide him than to face two unfamiliar professions.

"Moreover, from ancient times to the present, most of the second professions chosen by card masters are mages, because mages and card masters have one thing in common, exploration, endless exploration. ”

Ivan was completely moved, and after thinking for a long time, he chose mage as his second career.

For three months, Ivan was put on a course every minute and every second, and even when he was sleeping, he was completely wiped out by a special tranquilizer made by the old ghost.

Now that I think about it, the old ghost, this bastard, only told him about the benefits of becoming a mage, and did not tell him about some strange habits of the mage, imagining that he would wear a black robe and eat strange and disgusting bugs in the future, like a devil giggling.

Ivan shuddered involuntarily, he finally regretted it in his heart, he had long known that if he didn't choose a mage, he wouldn't have to become a pervert who ate insects if he chose something else.

But now, there is no way to go back, Ivan himself understands that choosing a mage is the best choice for him.

Not only because of the old ghost, an unpredictable mage predecessor, to guide him, but also because there is a comprehensive mage system in this world, so that he does not move forward alone, although the old ghost has some disdain for this mage system.

The old ghost barely laughed enough, and his voice suddenly became a little serious: "After three months of training for the master, I discovered a strange thing. ”

It was rare to hear the old ghost speak so seriously, Ivan didn't dare to be careless, nodded his head, and signaled that he could speak.

"I found that the master's body is very weak, if the body of a normal adult is 10 in all aspects, then the master is only five, which is half weaker than a normal adult. ”

Ivan's body stiffened, indeed, his physical fitness was much weaker than that of a normal adult, and he couldn't lift some heavy and large items, and he felt that as he grew older and bigger, his physical fitness became weaker and weaker.

"In addition, I found one more interesting thing, I found that the whole inhabitants of Lenta City are more or less weakened, and the closer to the garbage area, the more severe the physical weakness, and now the most serious inhabitant of Lenta City is the master. ”

Speaking of which, if Ivan doesn't understand it anymore, then he is really a big fool.

"Something wrong with the garbage area?"

"Well, in the depths of that layer of dirty garbage, there is a radioactive source of pollution, harmful radiographic substances all the time, invisibly and inadvertently injuring the residents of the entire Lenta City, to this day, the harmful substances have entered the depths of the visceral abdomen, and within three years, hundreds of thousands of people in Lenta City will inevitably die one by one. ”

Ivan felt a chill in his heart, what kind of terrifying pollution source could make hundreds of thousands of people die now, and they won't live for three years.

"There is a way to recover from my physical problems. Ivan asked calmly.

"Hehe, with me, the master can rest assured, as long as the master practices diligently every day according to the set of physical skills I gave, it won't take long to recover. ”

Hearing that there was hope for a cure, Ivan finally breathed a sigh of relief, who is not afraid of death, he is naturally not different.

"Master, don't you want to spread the physical skills I taught you to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of residents of Lunta City. ”

Hearing this, Ivan stopped, pursed his lips into a line, looked at him obliquely, smiled towards the sky, and left a sentence:

"I'm not a good person, never. ”

Ivan's figure soon disappeared at the end of the street, and the tall figure of the old ghost suddenly appeared on the street, still holding a transparent wine glass, which was full of blood-colored and strange wine, took a sip and smiled:

"Sure enough, he is worthy of being the candidate chosen by the Lord God, and his bones are also cold and ruthless. ”

After speaking, the figure disappeared into the street like snow dissolving flames, ethereal without a trace.
