Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Truth of Fishing

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Since Eorham was going to talk about Jason, it meant that he didn't have any idea of taking Curt out of the city and destroying him. (Please search for the fastest novel website!) This made Curt reassured, and at the same time new doubts surfaced. - By virtue of Eoham's status, he could summon Curt in the open, or send a subordinate to interrogate Curt. Condescending to come to Curt to fish with him like this is completely superfluous.

Regardless, Curt had to deal with the problem in front of him first. He knew that after Napier's death, the severity of things had changed. Jason and Evra's confrontation is shaking the city of a thousand laws, and Ioham will inevitably have to intervene. So Curt prepared the draft and spent a lot of effort polishing the details.

So Curt talked eloquently and told the whole thing in and out. He started by solving Randall's problems and ended up meeting Evra at Rankite's shop. Based on what Curt knew about Ioham, he knew he had no way to fool the other party. Therefore, Curt simply told the truth, and only avoided the content about Napier's death.

Ioham nodded with half-squinted eyes, as if listening with relish. On some key points, Curt did not deliberately clear his suspicions, but vaguely brushed them aside, almost acquiescing.

Because Curt knew that Ioham was actually aware of the whole thing. Instead of a thankless lie, it's better to spread things out. Eoham once said that he was the sole ruler of the Thousand Laws. Then as long as Curt's actions can bring benefits to the Thousand Law City, it is possible to be recognized.

So in the second half of the story, Curt focuses on the shortcomings that Jason and Evra have brought to the Thousand Laws. He couldn't have been as honest as he had when he had spoken to Olga, but he made everything he had to say.

"Well, I see, it makes sense. ”

Eoham flipped his pipe over and shook it, tossing away the burnt ash. He looked sideways at Curt and said with a smiling expression:

"So, what are you going to do next as a member of the involved incident?"

"I'm a little confused about that. If you can, I'd like to ask for your opinion. ”

Curt naturally didn't want to provoke Jason and Evra to fight, so he slickly threw the problem back. Eoham raised the corners of his mouth as if he thought it was funny, he raised his hand and stroked his white beard, and then said meaningfully:

"Look, Curt. ”

With that, Ioham raised his hand holding the rod. A small fish that bites the hook then breaks through the water and struggles in mid-air. Curt furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, completely unaware of what Eoham meant. Eoham flicked the rod and threw the biting fish back into the water.

For a few minutes, Eoham was silent. Curt waited patiently, knowing there must be something to come. It was a full half hour before Ioham smiled incomprehensibly. He lifted the rod again, reciting a brief incantation. A large expanse of ice cracked, and a strange fish ten meters long and covered with hooked scales broke through the ice. Its mouth is full of sharp teeth, but it can't cut the thin fishing line.

"Patience, Curt. You're always in a hurry, and you can't do great things. ”

Ioham floated on the shattered ice and said unhurriedly. When Curt showed a thoughtful expression, Ioham said gently:

"Clever can only bring immediate benefits, but true wisdom knows how to use time to deepen the results. In fact, waiting is also a way of action, and sometimes it is much more effective than reckless intervention. ”

"I see...... Thank you for teaching. ”

Curt pretended to be suddenly enlightened and replied respectfully. Eoham's meaning couldn't be more obvious, he wanted Curt to respond to all changes and wait for the situation to unfold. In terms of technique, Eorham's teachings can be described as simple and informative, and they are combined with very vivid examples to illustrate.

The first rod can only get a small fish, and waiting patiently can be exchanged for a big fish...... Curt looked at the strange fish that was still struggling and twisting in the air, and vaguely felt that Eorham was thinking too much of himself. As an up-and-coming newcomer, Curt simply didn't deserve such courtesy. Does that mean he made the right bet to make Ioham blue-eyed?

It seems that Ioham did not like Jason and Evra and wanted to move them. Curt's approach, though drastic, was able to help Eorham achieve his goal. For Ioham, who wants to make a move but can't find an excuse, Curt's home delivery is quite automatic. Curt thought about it along these lines, but still felt that something was wrong.

Even if all of the above speculations were true, Eoham would have been able to sit idly by and see them come to fruition. Now he dragged Curt alone to fish, apparently showing a more friendly attitude in addition to acknowledging Curt's approach. Could it be that an ambitious young talent would be admired by Ioham? He's not the only newcomer in Thousand Laws, but Ioham is paying too much attention to Curt.

Abnormality is a demon.

Curt, who was vigilant, remained silent and secretly re-examined the situation. But he didn't find anything wrong with Ioham, who was too focused on himself.

Even if Ioham wanted to add fuel to the fire, after killing Jason and Evra, and then using Curt as a scapegoat to calm the situation, he didn't need to make a special trip to Curt to fish and give Curt advice. With Eoham's status, when the time comes, as long as he gives an instruction, someone will naturally arrange everything.

In the end, Curt decided to give up his senseless suspicions and give it a go. He had to climb up as fast as he could, until he could get close to Eoham. In order to achieve the goal, it is acceptable to take a little risk.

Curt relaxes and watches as Ioham cuts the line and lets the fish fall back into the water. Now that Eoham had made his attitude clear, the fishing was over. Before parting, Eoreham took out a gemstone that was half smooth and half oval raised. He threw the gem to Curt and said indifferently:

"The Faceless need strength to back it up, and yours is not enough. This stone of knowledge contains some of the same spell-casting techniques I used when I was younger, so you can use them to beat the time. ”

"Thank you, I'll study it carefully. ”

Curt took the gem and solemnly thanked him. The Stone of Knowledge is a kind of memory gem of the Elves, which can be used to store various knowledge, spells, and even fragments of memories. If there were spell-casting skills that Iorham had personally comprehended, then the Stone of Knowledge would be invaluable.

"Remember, Curt, be patient. In most cases, time is more effective than strategy. ”

Before parting, Ioham told Curt again. His expression was very kind, not at all like he was talking to his subordinates. Curt bowed deeply and did not answer. By the time he looked up, Ioham had teleported away.

‘...... I'm going to let you die a happy death, just like you did to my parents. ’

Curt floated above the central city, muttering inwardly. If it weren't for the fact that the revenge of killing his relatives would not have been solved anyway, perhaps he would have considered working seriously for Ioham.

That night, Kot sent everyone away and sat alone in the mystical research room to meditate. The Stone of Knowledge from Ioham was placed on the table, and Curt was to gather all his spirit and study it further.

In the silence, Curt gradually fell into a half-asleep state. As a spellcaster connected to the web, his affinity for magic is growing rapidly. At the moment of his peak, Curt picked up the Stone of Knowledge and put it on his forehead. The view of the tundra immediately appeared in front of Curt's eyes, and he looked down at a pair of scarred hands, and heard an unfamiliar voice say:

"Magic is not mysterious, it's just a craft. Learning magic is not difficult compared to forging or carving. But magic has infinite potential, and it takes endless perseverance to get to the bottom of it. Ordinary mages are just a bunch of arrogant people who think that if they can cast a spell, they will be considered successful. ”

With that, one of the hands flexed his four fingers and tapped a large piece of ice in the distance with his index finger. The red rays of the fireball spell then burst through the air, scorching the huge ice cubes into water vapor.

"Treating spells as natural abilities, discarding spells, abandoning gestures, is what a mage must do. The real mage has become one with the magic web, and can mix the magic power at will. If you need to recite a spell for more than three seconds to complete a spell, then you only deserve to do academic research in the Mage Tower. This type of mage is useless in battle, because in just a second, powerful enemies can turn you into corpses. ”

The owner of the hands talks eloquently, with absolute confidence and even arrogance. Curt watched silently, and had to admit that the other party was right. Most mages lack the ability to react, making them extremely vulnerable in the event of a surprise attack.

For example, a warrior who rushes out of an ambush is a mage's nightmare. Before the mage can finish the spell, the warrior will be able to deliver a deadly attack. Even if a spell such as Accidental provides protection for the Mage, the Warrior can simply trip the Mage or entangle it with a grappling technique to ensure that the Mage cannot cast the spell until the duration of the Protective Spell expires.

"Therefore, a true mage should merge with the magic net and become an extension of the magic net in reality. Magic flowed in his blood all the time, not an external force that he struggled to channel when needed. ”

The image comes to an abrupt end, and Curt wakes up from his meditation. There's more to the Stone of Knowledge, and this image seems to be something of a prologue nature.

The image he had just seen was enough for Curt to ponder for a long time. Eoham is a true master, and his spellcasting philosophy subverts common sense. As Curt frowned and pondered, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Curt looked up and saw that Naza was dancing excitedly with six tentacles. Nazha stared at Curt with unkind white eyes, and said with great interest:

"I'm sorry, but as a member of the Magic Web, I'm very sensitive to your thoughts. Now I want to say that the information in that stone is very interesting and worth a try. If you're interested, I can help. ”

"You'll get a piece of the pie, don't worry. ”

Curt replied indifferently, and at the same time plucked the Stone of Knowledge from his forehead. The uninvited nature of the Psicoon is unexpected, but in this matter, it is really useful.
