Chapter 173: Words are broken
If there is no restriction on the means used to negotiate, then the mage has a unilateral advantage in many cases, because their power will work a lot of the time.
Everything in this world has a certain amount of magic, and although the content of each individual will vary greatly, the magic will always be stored in the substance. How to control the magic and use it to their advantage is also a subject that every wizard must study.
The college claims to be based on "integration and research", and the study of the touch has always been praised by them. Often, an ordinary apprentice will also study some of the knowledge he is interested in, not to mention the high-level magicians who work in the academy, they often have a lot of knowledge and spells outside of their own duties, so it is not surprising that the old man behind him will use spells to obstruct himself.
The use of the magic of words to induce action by interfering with the judgment of another person's behavior is rare and the effect of the spell is not obvious. But it is precisely because it will unconsciously affect people's judgment ability that people will neglect to take precautions.
Like most of the spells related to mind spells, this is also a quasi-illegal spell with one foot in the scope of the ban, but as a member of the "True Eye", the old man is naturally the kind of person who puts his own interests first, and he does not care if his actions disrupt the order.
They only care if the result is good for them, and they don't care if the means are glorious or not in the eyes of others...... After all, their goals may not be legitimate in the first place.
"Hey, you don't need a spell against me, do you?"
Squint your eyes slightly. Curt caught the trajectory of the old man's spell. The magic contained in the sound vibrated the air and reached Curt's head through the ears, and the magical sound was not only for the ears of people. They even want to dive deeper and shake the soul of the listener.
"No, no, these are just some of my opinions. ”
After being told by Curt about his actions, the old man took two steps closer and squeezed out a strange smile on his face. But he didn't stop casting spells, but further accelerated the output of magic power, and at the same time, his fingers moved slightly, driving spells to persuade Curt.
"Don't you think so? Mr. Leinster?" he waved his hand exaggeratedly, and the air around him became more uncomfortable, "Wise men are good at protecting themselves. Sacrificing oneself for the benefit of others is what I think would be done by the most stupid people."
I don't think you're the kind of person who would put yourself in danger for the sake of a simple "commission," so why get too involved—said the old man.
The spell of language gradually spreads in the space, with the words of the old man. The magic of sight preparation oozes from every corner of the studio. This battle made Curt amused. He didn't think it was necessary for the old man to spend so much effort on it.
The Wizard's personal space is dangerous for unauthorized visitors, as it is often filled with spells that can be used against intruders. The old man had already started most of the preparations that had been stored in this studio at this time, which was why the effect of the spell was so obvious.
Listening to the words that seemed to be coming from all directions, Curt reluctantly turned his head and looked at the two behind him: "I am here to talk to you very sincerely, and I didn't bring weapons or use spells...... Isn't it a bit too much for you to want to use this spell against me?"
As he said this, Curt waved his hand casually, as if he wanted to wave the uncomfortable air caused by the spell away from him. The slight emanation of magic severed the structure of the old man's spell. Spells that had already taken shape were easily dispelled by Curt in an instant before they could take effect.
There are many effects of spells, but as long as they are not spells that create "objective phenomena". Then most of them can be destroyed by using magic to cut off the basic structure of the Rubik's Cube. The more complex the spell, the easier it is to mess up.
"Hey, Mr. Leinster, you're funny. Seeing that the spell he had cast was destroyed by Curt in a gesture, the old man became more sharp and stared straight at Curt, "A mere sword seller has such ability, and Dean François's vision is as good as ever." ”
The spell of manipulating speech was destroyed by Curt with his hand, and the escaping magic power was out of control and spread in large quantities in the air. The stress spell prepared by the old man was interrupted before he could cast it, and the recoil of the feedback made the old man feel as uncomfortable as being punched in the chest.
"Thanks for the compliment, but you may think too highly of me, after all, I'm just an ordinary iron-level mercenary, not a great guy. ”
Slightly exaggerated, Curt snickered and said, "Maybe you don't know, this era is not like the past when you still had to worry about work. It's time for even a 'sword seller' to know something about spells. ”
Some well-known battle masters once mentioned that a good mage may be good at casting spells, but not necessarily good at using weapons to fight, but a warrior who does not know even the most basic spells will live his life at the level of an ordinary person.
No one has ever said that a wizard can't use heavy weapons, and no one has ever said that a mercenary can't learn spells. Perhaps thanks to the popularization of spell education in recent years, more people have access to spells, and even some of the more mediocre mercenaries in the mercenary management office can play simple spells.
Of course, their spell skills are far inferior to those of professional magicians - after all, they are very flawed in their talents and talents. Most of the mercenaries only know the basic spell phenomena and some useful spells, otherwise the staffing agency will go out of business.
"Don't be too modest, I think someone of your level will naturally have a corresponding price point. "If you can't make a plan, the old man can't threaten it, and then I'm probably going to plan to lure," and I also heard that your family is a little sick, if you want, I think I can ......"
I don't know if it's Liqi, it seems that Curt has a physical problem, and this setting has spread through the intelligence network. It's no wonder that the person in charge of delivering information in the "True Eye", after all, Curt's gloomy face also makes people think that he is not in good health, although his fighting ability always seems to deny this.
"I'm really sick, but I don't bother with it. ”
After all, there is nothing wrong with his physical trend - the so-called family genetic disease is just a hoax fabricated to hide his identity.
But he didn't want to talk to the old man anymore, and the conflict between them came from the most fundamental position. He just wants to keep the "routine" of his life unbroken, but the "True Eye" wants to bring about the change they hope for in Catrice.
So he stopped talking, turned around and was about to leave the studio.
Looking at Curt's departing back, the old man was silent for a while, Curt's attitude was already obvious, which made him feel a burst of annoyance: "You sword sellers are so insatiable...... Tell me, what do you want - or is it something that Dean François has given you in exchange?"
Curt was a little disappointed by the old man's words—could it be that he had been using spells to negotiate, and his ability to persuade with words had decreased?
"I think you should know it, mercenary work must abide by the spirit of the contract, and only with the contract can we work. A standard contract requires that the spirit of trustworthiness of the contract be kept in the heart of the contractor, and at the same time the necessary ancillary obligations such as confidentiality and aftermath should be fulfilled. ”
The spirit of contract compliance is the core spirit of the spirit of the contract, and it is also the ethical basis for the contract to rise from custom to spirit, and honesty and trustworthiness are the "imperial clauses" of the civil law and the "basic principles of the whole jurisdiction", which is the most basic principle that both parties to the contract must abide by.
Before the contract was elevated to the spirit of the contract, people made contracts because of mutual distrust, and the contract was made by coercionism. When the contract is elevated to the spirit of the contract, people enter into a contract because of their trust in each other. When the spirit of contract obedience becomes a conventional mainstream in society, the value of contract is truly realized.
It is precisely because the contract perfectly embodies the spirit of equality that it was used as a theoretical weapon by modern reformers to create the theory of social contract, through which each person cedes a part of the power to the state to use on his behalf, and the two parties reach an agreement to establish a social contract and fulfill their respective rights and obligations.
"Seriously, I'm curious how you came up with the idea to get me to your side at the cost of spells, after all, the negotiations between us have long since collapsed. Curt kept walking, spitting out words in lieu of goodbye, "But it obviously doesn't make sense."
The old man's offer made Curt re-examine his "value" in the event - but he couldn't see how useful he was. So far, at least, Curt hasn't done anything noticeable to get in the way of the True Eye, at most he's just giving them some trouble.
"I think you probably misunderstood one thing, not 'what do I want from you in exchange', but that our positions are different. Curt sighed, "Now that you've rejected my offer, I don't think there's any point in talking about it between us." ”
Since the old man was unwilling to heed the advice to abandon his so-called "plan" and was unwilling to make enemies of the "True Eye", Curt had no choice but to start an all-out war against the "True Eye". (To be continued!)
