At this time, Locke was already extremely sure that the Cage in front of him was Balthazar, the person in the movie "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" that he had seen.

The story background of this movie is not too complicated, mainly about the war between the two wizard camps, the dark wizard and the white wizard.

It started more than 1,000 years ago, when Merlin, the leader of the White Wizards, was about to start a final showdown with the leader of the Dark Wizards, Morgana, when Hofas, one of Merlin's three disciples, betrayed Merlin.

With Hophath's help, Morgana attacked Merlin's castle and planned to kill Merlin, the leader of the White Wizards, while he was unprepared.

The initial attack was a success, but Merlin was caught off guard and was mortally wounded.

However, Mogana did not achieve the final victory, because at this time, two of Merlin's other disciples, Balthazar and Veronica, sensed that something was wrong and arrived in time.

Balthazar's lover, Veronica, sucked Mogana's soul into her body and sealed herself in a dark prison.

It's just that at this time, Merlin was seriously injured and dying, and when he was dying, Merlin took off the dragon ring on his finger and told his disciple Balthazar that if he wanted to really kill Morgana, he could only do it by finding his heir, and this was the only way to save Veronica.

Balthazar's search lasted for more than a thousand years, during which he continued to fight Hofas, and in one battle, he successfully sealed Hofas.

Locke's rejection of Balthazar was not unexpected, because at this time, Balthazar was now bent on finding Merlin's heirs and rescuing his lover Veronica, and had no interest in taking apprentices or anything.

Locke hesitated, he didn't know whether to take the risk.

But the supernatural power is in front of him, and although the system is magical, it does not allow him to directly grasp the ability of supernatural power.

He couldn't be sure if Balthazar would move and hide after this encounter, and if he missed this time, he didn't know if he could find the other party again.

Soon, Locke decided to take a little risk, the system plug-in does not come with magic abilities, and the increase in attribute points can indeed make him extremely powerful, but he can't live forever, and he really doesn't want to miss the opportunity in front of him.

Recalling the plot in the movie, Locke finally spoke: "I know where the Merlin heirs are, and I am willing to promise under the witness of the contract that as long as you are willing to teach me magic, in exchange, I can tell you the whereabouts of the Merlin heirs." ”

"Boom!" As soon as Locke's words came out, a magical light hit Locke's body directly.

"Ahh Peggy screamed, and then found that Locke was imprisoned by a stream of water, and Balthazar came to Locke with a calm aura.

"Where is Merlin's heir?" At this time, the murderous aura on Balthazar's body was several times stronger than any opponent that Locke had encountered in the meditation battle, and Peggy, who was originally screaming, was also frightened at this time.

"I don't know if he's reincarnated now, but I know that in ten years he's reincarnated as a child who will be there, and as long as no one changes, he'll be there in ten years."

Ignoring the flow of water wrapped around his body, Locke met Balthazar's eyes and said word by word: "I am not your enemy, and I promise that what I say is true, and I am willing to sign a contract for all this." ”

If it was a dark wizard, or even a strange white wizard, Locke would not dare to do this, because wizards have many ways to torture people.

Fortunately, Balthazar is a white wizard, as an important character in the movie, the personality traits are still expected by Locke, this can be said to be kind and somewhat pedantic, and he will not easily hurt irrelevant people.

After using magic to confirm that Locke was not lying, Balthazar hesitated for a moment, and finally withdrew the water that imprisoned Locke: "You better not lie to me. ”

"Of course, you've already confirmed that, haven't you?"

Perhaps it was the spiritual improvement brought about by super high intelligence, and when Balthazar used magic to probe just now, Locke still had a faint feeling.

For thousands of years after Merlin's death, Balthazar has been looking for Merlin's heirs and has never given up, which can be said to be his greatest obsession.

"I can teach you magic, but I won't take you as an apprentice, and you have to tell me now where the Merlin heirs are."

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Locke also knew that he was abrupt, and it was difficult to explain why he would guide the whereabouts of Merlin's heirs, but he had no better choice in a hurry.

"Yes, but I want you to teach me all the magic you know without reservation."

"As long as what you say is true." Balthazar took out a book, waved his hand, and directly copied it, raising it in front of Locke's eyes:

"This book contains all the things you want, you tell me the news, I will teach you to get started, this book is yours too, and I want you to swear that what you say is true, and you will not be my enemy."

"No problem." Locke happily agreed, he had no intention of intervening in the battle between wizards, and did not hesitate to swear according to Balthazar's request and reached a contract with Balthazar.

As the contract flickered and Locke's oath was not wrong, Balthazar knew that what Locke said was true, and this was the magic of magic.

This made Balthazar's breath a little shorter, and it was not a pleasant feeling that he had been searching aimlessly for more than a thousand years, especially as time went on, and his original firm conviction could not help but waver.

Fortunately, the news of Merlin's successor brought by Locke is confirmed to be true, which means that he will end the thousands of years of waiting.

"The Merlin heir you are looking for is in New York, called Dave Debusschel, if you haven't been born yet, you can wait a year or two, he is the Merlin heir you are looking for."

The two of them completed the contract, and Locke said slowly, "I've done my thing, it's your turn next." ”

"No problem." Balthazar handed Locke the book in his hand, which recorded all the magical knowledge I had mastered from the beginning, and if there was anything else I didn't understand, you could come and ask me at any time.

Locke glanced down at the quaint book in his hand, and couldn't help but say, "So can you start now?" ”

"I think you have something else to attend to." Balthazar looked at Peggy, and with a wave of his hand, a magical light flashed: "She'll forget what just happened, you take her back and come back when you're ready." ”

"Okay." Locke looked at Peggy, who was already unconscious, picked her up, and left the antique shop.

"You're back, Locke." Back at the hotel, the female teacher soon saw Locke and Peggy being held by him: "Peggy, what's wrong with her?" ”

"I should be tired of playing, I'll put her in the room to rest."

The teacher looked at Peggy, made sure she was fine, and nodded, "No problem, come in." ”

In order to take care of the school's ace, the female teacher lived in the same room as Peggy, and after putting Peggy on the bed, Locke returned to his room and couldn't wait to look through the magic book he had just arrived.

As Locke kept flipping through the books, the system soon came with a prompt: "Do you want to learn the skill meditation method?" ”

Locke chose yes, and soon a lot of knowledge and experience appeared in Locke's mind, and he gained an additional meditation method (elementary) skill, and also gained an increase in intelligence +2.

I compared the knowledge in my mind with the book and confirmed that there was no problem, and I started my first attempt.

Soon the system kept coming with hints of meditation experience +1.

There is a system, as long as there is a skill book, even without the teacher's teaching, Locke, who is open-minded, can easily learn.
