Chapter 17: Gandalf
After Aaron heard the information fed back by the chip, he couldn't help but feel a huge shock in his heart, the white-haired old man in front of him, who looked weak and couldn't help but fall down with a push, was so dangerous, and there was an unknown ability position that had been bothering him!
"Honorable Elder, thank you very much for curing Tina's inability to speak, I don't know what to call it?" Aaron got up from his seat, supported his right chest with his left hand, bowed forward slightly and nodded at the same time, and performed a noble etiquette to the white-haired old man.
The white-haired old man, the first feeling he gave Aaron was mysterious and powerful, and he obviously had to be careful with this kind of person! In terms of etiquette, try to do as much as possible.
"My name is Gandalf, and I'm a great mage!" replied the white-haired old man, stretching out his hand and brushing his beard.
"Mage?" Aaron had a puzzled expression.
"Hello, Mr. Gandalf, my name is Aaron Green, and I am the owner of this manor, and I don't know what kind of profession the mage you just mentioned?"
Aaron had heard of a mage for the first time, and although he didn't know what it was, he guessed that it should be some kind of profession.
"You don't even know about great mages!" Gandalf was surprised by this, and then slapped his head: "Oh! I almost forgot, in this barren continent the size of your small island, there are very few mages, and it is normal that most people have not heard of them!"
"What! The continent I'm on now is only the size of an island!!
What Gandalf said shocked Aaron, this exaggerated land mass was just an island in his eyes!!!
"It seems that I still don't know anything about this world, and I am ridiculously wrong! This world is much bigger than I imagined!" Aaron sighed in his heart, originally he thought that the land he was in now should be regarded as the largest of the few pieces in this other world, but he didn't expect it to be very wrong.
"The mage is the most powerful profession in the world!, the sage who pursues the truth of things, controls the forces of nature, calls the wind and rain, and is omnipotent!" Aaron sighed as Gandalf's voice followed.
When talking about mages, the expression on Gandalf's face was obviously tinged with a hint of pride, and he greatly admired this profession, and said it with a lot of emotion.
"So, dear Mr. Gandalf, what is the matter with your coming to me?"
Aaron was skeptical of Gandalf's statement and then got down to business.
"I'm here for Tina's business, and I met her on the way not long ago, and found that she has an amazing talent for magic! she's the most genius I've ever met!!
At this, Gandalf's voice trembled and he was extremely excited!
"Mr. Gandalf, do you want to take Tina as a disciple?" Aaron heard this, and had already guessed the reason why Gandalf came here.
"That's right! I'm going to take her as an apprentice and take her out of this barren island to the continent of Gularand and teach her to be a powerful mage!" Gandalf nodded.
"That's right!" Aaron rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, Tina has a strong teacher, and it's not bad, but Aaron is not very happy to take her out of here.
Aaron would be fine if he stayed here to teach Tina, but it was obviously unlikely that Gandalf would stay here because of Gandalf's disgust for the barrenness of the place.
"Forget it! Let's decide for yourself!"
Aaron's mind was full of thoughts, and after thinking for a while, he still made up his mind, this is an opportunity for Tina, if she misses it, she may not have this opportunity in the future!
And looking at Gandalf's affectionate attitude towards Tina, it is obvious that he will not treat her badly, and with such a teacher, there is basically no need to worry, so it is up to her to decide as soon as she is ready.
"Tina, you make your own decisions, whatever you choose, I'll agree. After some consideration, Aaron said lightly to Tina beside him.
"I don't want to leave here, I won't leave unless you come with me. ”
After a long time together, Aaron's status in Tina's heart is the same as that of family. Aaron has always taken special care of her, and Tina has long regarded him as the most important person.
Unless Aaron left with him, Tina wouldn't agree to go with Gandalf.
"It seems that I didn't hurt her in vain!"
Hearing Tina's decision, she smiled with relief.
As soon as Tina finished speaking, Gandalf interjected and said, "I am here for this matter, Tina said that I will take you with me, but it depends on whether you have the talent to take you with me!"
Gandalf's principle is clear, Aaron has enough talent and it doesn't hurt to bring it, but if he can't meet the conditions, then he definitely won't bring it.
"Mr. Gandalf, how do you know if I have any talent?" said Aaron.
If you can go along, Aaron will definitely not hesitate, in this manor, there is nothing to remember, following Gandalf is equivalent to touching a new mysterious door, for this, he is extremely action!
"You let Tina out of the room first, and I'll give you a talent test now, and no one else can disturb you during this time. Gandalf commanded.
"Tina, you go out first, close the door, don't worry. ”
Aaron hesitated, then asked Tina to leave the study first.
"Hmm. ”
Tina nodded, then walked out of the study, closed the door, and pressed her head against the door, trying to eavesdrop on the conversation.
Gandalf pulled Tina out of the study, smiled faintly, and then secretly cast a spell that made it impossible to hear any sound in the study.
....................................................................................
"Mr. Gandalf, say whatever you want, now Tina has left the study. ”
After Tina leaves, Aaron speaks to Gandalf.
Obviously, Aaron had already seen that what Gandalf said before was just to get Tina away for a while, and there were some things he didn't want her to hear.
"Well, you're smart! I like your character, calm and smart, alas!"
Gandalf nodded in satisfaction, then shook his head again.
"It's a pity I don't have a talent worth bringing with you, do I?" said Aaron, taking a deep breath.
"You're right. Gandalf nodded, and then said, "Although you also have the talent to become a mage, it is a pity that you are only mediocre, and it is absolutely impossible for me to take you with you." ”
Gandalf said these words in a stern tone, without the slightest room for negotiation.
“......”
Next, Aaron remained silent and didn't say anything, because he knew that Gandalf wouldn't change his mind about what he said.
"I know, you're curious about mages right now, and I can answer you a few questions. After Aaron was silent for a moment, Gandalf stroked his beard and said.
"What kind of medicine is sold in this Gandalf gourd?"
When Aaron heard this, his eyes rolled, at this time, Gandalf should have called himself to persuade Tina, but how could he answer his own question!
Although he didn't know what Gandalf's intentions were, since he had this opportunity, Aaron didn't plan to miss it, he was indeed curious about the mage profession, whether it was as powerful as previously described.
"Mr. Gandalf, will you show me the power of a mage?" Aaron said the question that was most on his mind.
"Yes. Gandalf nodded in reply.
As soon as Gandalf's voice fell, he began to chant some awkward syllables, as if he was singing something.
"What language is this?"
Aaron looked at Gandalf and muttered, not knowing what he was reading, he couldn't understand a word, it was the first time he had heard such strange language, and his expression was puzzled.
"It's so cold! How can it suddenly get cold!!
As the last syllable in Gandalf's mouth was finished, Aaron suddenly felt an inexplicable cold, as if the entire study had been turned into an ice cellar.
"Alarm, alarm, the surroundings are full of unknown abilities, the temperature is dropping rapidly, please get out of here as much as possible!"
At first, Aaron thought it was a delusion, but after hearing the alarm of the chip, he confirmed that it was not a delusion.
Aaron began to tremble all over his body as if he was in a place of dozens of degrees below zero, even if he was higher than ordinary people.
A glass of water placed on the tabletop solidifies and freezes into ice cubes at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Even the gas coming out of Aaron's mouth froze instantly.
"Isn't this Gandalf cold?"
When Aaron saw Gandalf, his face was flat, as if the biting cold had no effect on him.
"Take this in your hand. ”
Gandalf shivered when he saw Aaron's cold, and out of nowhere he took out a small object, similar to a cross, that was emitting a faint white light.
"Huh, why is it suddenly not cold!!
As soon as Aaron took the cross, he was not cold at all! It was just a matter of a moment, and this sudden change made him a little unable to react.
"Hint! Hint! An unidentified energy stance appeared on the subject's body, neutralizing the previous position of an ability!" the chip's voice sounded again.
"Is this the cause of this cross?"
Aaron looked at the cross in his hand in amazement, and a hint of the idea of taking it for himself flashed in his heart, and he immediately dismissed this thought.
"It's a simple ice spell that can be cast by an apprentice mage. Of course, this is just a small trick for me, not even a thousandth of the power of my strongest spell. Gandalf explained.
"It's less than a thousandth of the power!, that's not Gandalf's most powerful ice spell, which can freeze an entire lake in an instant!!
Aaron was completely shocked by what Gandalf said!
"Is this the power of a mage!!
Aaron's eyes flashed with a hint of frenzy!
"Can I see the most powerful spells?" said Aaron, with a stir in his heart.
"No, it costs a lot to cast a spell of that level, and if you really cast it, your manor will be destroyed immediately. This time, Gandalf refused without even thinking about it.
