Volume 2 The Birth of the Demon King Chapter 126 The Magic Teacher
In the hallway on the first floor of the city lord's mansion, Anne was pulling the emir to the room at the end.
The emir remained confused until they came to a very large space that looked like it was supposed to be where the original lord of the city, Cresti, had trained.
The area against the wall is filled with all kinds of weapons, as well as targets for training, straw men, and the like.
He probably understood that Anne was probably going to give him special training, and the content of a witch's special training could only be magic, and he suddenly became excited.
Since swallowing the pill given by Annie, Emir has even skipped the step of talent detection, and now he can use magic as long as he is instructed to do so.
"I'll tell you the truth, I didn't want to teach you magic at first," Anne said frankly, "It's not that I'm stingy, and it has nothing to do with the so-called rules, because you're just an ordinary person, you should live a peaceful life, and once you learn magic, you will inevitably get involved in those cruel struggles, and I admire you and don't want to see you fall into a miserable end." ”
"Well," said the emir, slightly surprised, and then very seriously, "but you didn't consider my own thoughts, did you?" When I left my hometown to join the army, I was already mentally prepared, to devote myself to the war against the demons, hoping that one day I could make a meritorious career and shine on the lintel, although I didn't expect that I would encounter so many big scenes, but no matter what, I have participated in this cruel war, as long as I can have more powerful power, I don't care what the ending is, it is better to say, only when I am strong, can I get a good ending. ”
"Indeed," Anne nodded slightly, "that's why I changed my mind later, since you've been through so many major crises, it's really unrealistic for you to continue to live an ordinary life, so ah, I've decided to pass on my magic to you now." ”
"That's great."
Emir smiled and then got down on one knee to apprentice, only to be stopped by Anne.
"Oh, don't do that, I'm embarrassed."
"Uh, isn't that the most basic etiquette a student has for a teacher?" The emir scratched his head.
"No, no, no, declare in advance, I'm not your teacher, just as a friend, I will teach you magic, and I have sensed that your magic level after swallowing the magic pill is obviously higher than mine, so the power of releasing magic will far exceed me, and my attainments in magic will definitely not be low in the future, how can I be embarrassed to be your teacher?"
"Oh...... Well, since you don't want to, I won't apprentice, but I've made a note of this favor. The emir had no choice but to agree, and he did not want to force it.
"Well, however, there is another reason why I chose to teach you magic, that is, I just discussed the next plan with Byron, and he said that he wanted to form a decapitation team and sneak directly into the demon lair to kill the demon king, and I recommended you."
“…… What? ”
Emir was dumbfounded, he didn't understand the reason why Anne did this, even if he swallowed the magic pill and could use magic, but now that there was only a little more than a month left before they agreed to crusade against the demons, how far could his strength grow? Anne's approach only seemed to push him into the fire pit.
However, Anne had expected him to be confused, so she explained unhurriedly.
"Don't worry, I will be responsible for you in the next few days, and I promise that your strength will far surpass me in a month."
Emile was still skeptical, he didn't look down on Anne, and he thought that people had to learn magic for a few years, how could he learn it in a month?
Even a genius can't be, but seeing Anne's serious face, he can only choose to believe it.
"Alright then, without further ado, we'll get started now." The emir urged.
When Anne had recommended him in front of Byron, he suddenly became nervous and felt that time was very short.
"Oh, don't worry," Anne reassured, "even the most talented magicians have to take their time, this kind of thing is not in a hurry. ”
"But I only have a month."
"So what? With your current abilities, a month is more than enough, and if you are lucky enough to get a formal magical education, you can even do it in ten days. ”
When Anne finished speaking, seeing the still incredulous expression on Emir's face, she understood that he could not believe it unless she showed it to him.
"Okay then, I'll show you my hand next...... Oh no, it's for you to show your hand. ”
She then took a small piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to the emir.
After the previous hard battle, she didn't have time to inject magic into the piece of paper, and at this time, only a magic circle was drawn on this small piece of paper.
"First, put your hand on the magic array."
So the emir sandwiched the small piece of paper between his hands.
"Very well, then imagine that there is a warm current surging in your body."
"Hmm." The emir closed his eyes and began to imagine.
"Then let the imaginary warm current rush to the magic array in your hand, so that you can complete the injection of magic power."
The emir did so, but strangely enough, a warm current did wells up in him, and it didn't seem to be imaginary.
He quickly opened his eyes and looked at the small piece of paper in his hand, only to find that it was emitting a rather strong dark blue light.
"Tsk, that's good." Anne couldn't help but sigh.
“…… Was this a success? ”
"Haha, stupid, of course it worked, and even better than mine."
"Really?" Emile scratched his head, he was a little embarrassed to be praised by his teacher for the first time.
Although Anne has always insisted that she does not want to be Emir's teacher, she does look a lot like a magic teacher when she guides Emir.
"Don't be in a hurry to rejoice, it's not enough proof of your abilities," Anne reminded him, and then pulled out a large chunk of small pieces of paper, which looked like there were more than a hundred, "Come, fill these with magic too." ”
"Uh...... All right. ”
Emir smiled wryly, it seemed that Teacher Anne was using him as a tool to infuse him with magical power.
……
An hour later, all the small pieces of paper were infused with magic, and Anne sensed them, and found that the magic of these small pieces of paper combined was about ten times that of her before, and even she was surprised.
"By the way, do you feel physically tired?"
"No, I don't feel anything," Emile shook his head, "it's just a magic injection, and there's no exercise, so I shouldn't be tired." ”
Anne shook her head and explained.
"It's different from what you think, releasing magic will also consume stamina, but it's not much, but if it's used in actual combat, it's best to maintain sufficient stamina, because you may release magic hundreds of times during battle, and if you don't have enough stamina at a critical moment, you're dead."
"I see."
"Alas, what a pity." Anne sighed suddenly.
"What's the pity?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I regret letting you swallow the demon pill, if I use it myself, there is no need to worry about the affairs of the demon clan, and then I can single-handedly take the demon king down."
"Ah, this ......," said the emir, a little uneasy.
"Haha, it's not that good at teasing you," Anne then told the truth, "but it's really better than me, a veteran magician who has studied magic for many years, so you should be able to understand your own strength now." ”
"Well, a little bit."
"Huh? What do you mean by a little bit? Anne crossed her waist and continued to reason with him, "I know, you want to say that those highly talented magicians will take at least a few years to reach the level of battlefield, but you are not like them, that magic pill directly made you skip a level, to the point where it took them years to get there. ”
"That's right."
Emir was thoughtful, and hearing Anne say this, he had to believe in his current level of magic power.
"So what magic will you teach me next? Probably the kind of teleportation magic you're best at, right? ”
"No," Anne refused, "it's too simple for you right now." ”
"What? Isn't that your forte? ”
"Hehe, who said that my strength is powerful magic, let me tell you the truth, as long as I am a magician, I will use teleportation magic, but most people don't bother to study more, only me, who has mediocre qualifications, because I can't use powerful high-level magic, so I have to be proficient in simple teleportation magic."
"Don't bluff me...... Okay, I see, you still don't want to teach me seriously. ”
"No, you really misunderstood me." Anne hastened to plead.
In fact, Emir's words were just a joke, but seeing her anxious look, he couldn't help but tell the truth.
However, he actually really wanted to learn Annie's teleportation magic, and after witnessing the battle of the magicians, he always felt that magic was not superior or inferior, but that it was all up to the user's rational use.
"Even if that's the case, what's going on in that alternate dimension? I don't believe a mediocre magician can make something like that. ”
"That, it's actually given to me by my mentor, of course I can't make it myself, but I didn't expect at first that that different space with the most ordinary teleportation magic could allow me to gain some false fame."
"I see."
"Although I don't know high-level magic, I still learned a lot of wind attribute basic magic, don't worry, I will teach you all of it later, with the blessing of the magic pill, the power of your magic will definitely not be inferior to those high-level magic."
"Well," the emir nodded solemnly, then cut to the chase, "what will teach me today?" ”
"Nothing is taught today." Anne blurted out.
"Huh? Why? ”
"If anything, help me inject magic into these little pieces of paper is today's lesson."
"But it's just for me to be a coolie."
"No, no, no, don't say it so ugly, did you find confidence in the process? Do you think you can really surpass me in a month? ”
"Uh, I guess it's right?"
"That's right, it's good to be able to achieve this effect on the first day of teaching, I think when my teacher taught me......"
Anne began to babble on about her learning magic, and Emil listened patiently, though speechless.
It wasn't until she said that she might never see her mentor Wagner again, that she unconsciously shed tears.
Seeing this, the emir suddenly became at a loss, and did not know how to comfort her.
"Haha, it's okay," Anne said, waving her hand, "So, Emir, you must help us defeat the demons, so that I can have a chance to go back, and everything is up to you." ”
Speaking of which, Emir suddenly realized a problem, if the magic pill could make an ordinary person gain a level of magic beyond that of ordinary magicians, what if it could be used on a powerful magician like Annie?
The result is certainly self-evident, but isn't it a contradiction that Anne decisively gave up the opportunity to make herself stronger, and at this time she burst into tears because she was worried that she would not be able to see her teacher?
However, after thinking about it for a while, he guessed that Anne's purpose was to encourage him, so that he would have more motivation to learn magic, or to contribute more to the crusade against the demons.
But no matter what, the emir will not complain, and he has no intention of putting himself out of the way when it comes to dealing with the demons.
He was just a little frustrated, since Anne would not hesitate to use such roundabout means in order to achieve her goal, how much sincerity did Anne have for him these days when they got along?
Maybe everything she showed was an illusion, just to make Emir willing to use it for her.
At this time, Emile looked at Anne's charming face and unconsciously imagined her as a person with a city in mind.
