Thursday.

Sunset.

Link walked into the doll shop in a slightly gloomy mood.

In the past few days, it was not only Wizard Selene who contacted him last Sunday to give him a reminder.

Saria, Tina, and Ella expressed their curiosity one after another.

Wizard Lorcan sent a string of hey laughs.

Even Wizard Cody, who has always been unsmiling, has vaguely expressed his expectations with a few old friends.

This puts Link under a lot of pressure.

How did a preparation that should have been carried out quietly become known to everyone?

Link wondered.

Link was puzzled.

The cramped shop was unattended.

A carefully packaged, but unsealed gift box sits on the only square table in the shop.

"Boss, boss......"

Link shouted a few times, but there was no answer.

The boss is nowhere to be seen.

Link took two steps closer to the square table.

There was a note on the gift box, which read: Take the gift, leave the magic stone.

Obviously, the boss didn't want to see Link at this time.

I don't know if I don't want to be embarrassed, or if there are other reasons.

Link lifted the lid of the box and looked inside, revealing 13 thumb-sized figures lying neatly inside.

There's also an instruction manual on the side.

In the center is the main doll, the materials and workmanship are the most exquisite, and there is a 9-point portrait of Wizard Paro when he was young.

The other 12 are sub-dolls, which are exactly the 12 opponents that Wizard Paro met during the two-district competition.

Link took out the 13 dolls one by one and checked them all according to the instructions in the manual.

There is nothing wrong with that.

The results are fantastic.

Put the doll back in place, fold the manual, close the lid, and seal the gift box.

Link put down 200 standard first-level magic stones, picked up the gift box and left.

Soon after, the boss sneaked out of the rest room at the back of the shop.

The probe probed his brain to make sure that he had gone away, and the boss breathed a sigh of relief.

As an old-timer, he almost delayed the junior's business.

If it's a legitimate reason, it's better to say, but it's because of his "big mouth".

I really can't hang up on my face.

Fortunately, he firmly adhered to the agreement not to divulge the specific information of the puppet, and did not cause worse results.

It is......

The boss couldn't help but feel empty.

After his "publicity", there are already too many people looking forward to the legendary gift that is said to be more powerful than Percy's sage drill staff.

If Paro didn't buy it and made that kid lose face, wouldn't he, the boaster, be guilty of a lot?

"Call you many mouths, call you many mouths."

The boss slapped himself in the mouth a few times, and he couldn't count how many times he took it as a warning.

Link went back to the dormitory with the gift box in his arms and sat in the study, just sitting in a daze, sitting in a daze.

The brain is empty and thinks about nothing.

It's hard to describe the experience of the past few days, and you have to relax.

After a while, Link came back to his senses, his consciousness sank into the sea of knowledge, and he sorted out the memory palace, making the memories of the gifts in the past few days a little dimmed.

In this way, it is not easy to recall and not forget.

When you need to use it, you can still pull it out after a little recall.

After doing this, Link used his portable brain to send a message to Jasmine, asking her to preside over the advanced study of the Brothers and Social Fear Group.

He himself is rarely lying flat and rotten, stealing half a day of leisure.

Pick up a glass daylily aromatherapy essential oil, pick up an idle book that tells the specific events in the history of the wizarding continent, and read it comfortably.

Time flies.

Friday.

The daytime ends in an inexplicable atmosphere of restlessness in the surroundings.

Jasmine, the Brothers, and the Social Terror Group showed that they were more serious about the ceremony than Link.

It was as if Link had gone, more like they had gone in person.

And there is honor, that's what I said.

The sky is glowing with sunset.

In the farewell of Jasmine, the Brothers and the Social Fear Group, Link held the gift box and walked towards the auditorium where the promotion ceremony was held.

On the way to the Great Hall, Link meets three acquaintances: Salia, Tina, and Ella.

Link hurriedly greeted them one by one.

"Is this your gift?"

Tina and Link have worked together for the longest time and know each other best.

As soon as they met, they beckoned, and they immediately asked curiously.

It also looks like he can't wait to see the gift.

"Link, long time no see."

The gentle big sister Salia said hello sweetly.

His eyes then glanced at the gift box.

"Hello, Link."

Wizard Ella didn't know when his attitude towards Link became much warmer.

Politely but amicably responded to Link.

This made Link quite "flattered".

"Yes, that's what I prepared."

Link lifted the gift box in his arms, gestured, and couldn't help but explain, "It's not as mysterious as the rumors, it's a heart." ”

Speaking of this, Salia, Tina, and Ella let out crisp but unpleasant laughter.

After laughing, it was still Salia who had the kindest heart, and reminded: "The ones who are here tonight are all friends of Wizard Paro, or junior wizards like us, who are in his camp. The attitude towards you is not all friendly, you should pay more attention to yourself. ”

"Well, thank you, Sister Salia."

Link nodded and thanked sincerely.

In the past few days, he has also tasted it.

It stands to reason that even if the shopkeeper has a big mouth and says something, it should be limited to a certain circle or a few small circles.

For example, third-level wizards such as Wizard Selene and Wizard Cody.

But first-level wizards like Saria, Tina, and Ella, who had just graduated from the High Academy, quickly learned that someone was obviously deliberately fueling the trouble.

The motive is unknown, but the purpose is to push Link into the "spotlight".

Let more people pay attention to Link through the gift.

Tina then walked up to Link, tapped him on the shoulder, and whispered in a barely audible voice, "Watch out for Lorcan." ”

After saying that, she ignored Link, who had changed color slightly, and took Saria's hand and walked a few quick steps into the auditorium.

Not to be outdone, Ella took Salia's other hand.

Link then recalls the first time he saw Wizard Lorcan, and the casual slap that dislocated his arm.

It was a truly unpleasant experience.

Could it be him?

Link was skeptical.

He didn't think much about it, quickly collected his emotions, and followed the three girls into the carefully arranged auditorium.

First, go to the place where the gift is registered and stored.

It was Wizard Serene who was in charge of registering the book.

Seeing this scene, Link was very surprised.

"I'm not at ease when someone else does it."

Looking at Link, who was visibly shocked, Wizard Sereen said meaningfully.

Link reacted, and it seemed that someone in the Paro wizard camp was really secretly targeting him.

So much so that Wizard Sereen noticed it.

And go down in person, do things that don't quite match your identity, and escort Link.

Prevent anyone from continuing to manipulate Link's gifts.

"Give it to me."

Wizard Célene ignored Link's genuine flattery and glanced at the gift box held in Link's arms.

"Oh......"

Link came back to his senses, stepped forward, placed the gift box on the table in front of Wizard Cearen, and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you so much for causing you trouble. ”

"Hehehe......"

Wizard Cérene laughed, and made a beautiful voice that stirred up justice, "Little one, don't be too emotional. ”

Link scratched his head, and his face showed a slight embarrassment at the right time: "I won't bother you." ”

As the words fell, Link bowed before walking away.

Even if your previous conjectures don't match the facts.

It's not strange to have many people.

It was still early at this time, and there were not many people in the auditorium.

Saria, Tina, and Ella have their own circle of chatting with a few wizards who are also very young.

Link didn't force himself to lean in front of the three girls, glanced around the auditorium, and chose a more remote corner to stay.

Don't ask for anything else, just for a quiet.

As time passed, the number of visitors increased, and the auditorium gradually became lively.

Not long after, the promotion ceremony officially began.

Wizard Paro, accompanied by several wizards who were strangers to Link, entered the Great Hall from the back of the field, and then walked alone to the specially built high platform in the center of the Great Hall.

The wizards stood at the four corners of the platform, slightly guarded.

This is normal and acceptable to all.

Prevent someone from deliberately causing trouble and ruining the promotion.

Although it basically can't be destroyed, it really makes a fuss, and it doesn't look good.

The auditorium fell silent.

Wizard Paro looked around the auditorium in a circle, his lips slightly opened and closed, and his voice was loud and heard throughout the auditorium: "Thank you all for coming, thank you for your testimony." ”

Two short sentences, no more words.

With his eyes closed, his hands open, and his head tilted back slightly, Wizard Paro began his promotion.

The auditorium fell silent for a moment.

Everyone consciously held their breath, for fear of disturbing Wizard Paro.

There was no grandeur in sight.

Wizard Palo's body first lightly shook the heartstrings, and then subsided in an instant.

No, not to subside, more like a drop of water melted into the sea.

An indescribable wave descended on the auditorium.

Link felt infinitely moved.

It was as if she had become a baby again, returning to her mother's womb, feeling boundless warmth, care and love.

This feeling comes and goes faster.

Link was stunned.

Many people present were the same as Link, with reluctance and regret on their faces.

I don't give up that feeling, and I regret that I can't get more gains.

Just now, Wizard Paro has completed the resonance with the will of the world, and has "imprinted" his will into the will of the world.

That indescribable fluctuation is the response and attention cast by the will of the world.

In the future, in the heavenly worlds covered by the will of the wizarding world, the spells cast by the wizard of Paro do not need to be specially modified according to the rules of the world in which they live.

Cast spells in the wizarding world, in the world you live in.

Even if the principles of some witchcraft violate certain rules of the world in which they live, they will be used correctly.

It's so domineering.

Even if you enter a strange world that cannot be covered by the will of the wizard world for the time being, and carry out otherworld exploration, you can use the will of the world to analyze the rules of the strange world in time.

Sages (fourth, fifth, and sixth level wizards) are the mainstay of the wizarding world.

Formal wizards and below, nothing more than the base.

The reason why Wizard Selene said that watching an official wizard rise to a sage up close is an opportunity that many people can't ask for.

It lies in the advent of the will of the world.

It is that this is the only opportunity for official wizards and below to have access to the will of the world in advance.

Link feels like he's gained a lot.

Because he just activated the "multi-threaded thinking" state card that he had deliberately left behind.

The "Occlumency" + "Multi-threaded Thinking" status card that is running at full strength is Link's strongest posture at present.

Whether it's fighting, studying, or researching.

In just 3 seconds, the consumption of mental power is several times that of the previous uses.

Link was almost sucked dry.

But it's all worth it.

In these 3 seconds, Link's spiritual power and magic power were like red-hot steel quenched in water, and his quality was improved.

And that's not all.

The obstacles to the practice of the 1-ring sorcery "Armor of Armor" were swept away;

The "seeds" in the sea of knowledge have even benefited greatly.

The first phase of cultivation that requires the investment of resources worth 20,000 standard first-class magic stones will be completed directly.

As the "spirit" of the "seed", Flandor has undergone an evolution and falls into a deep sleep.

It can be used to describe the change in Link before and after a few seconds.

"Big gains?"

Wizard Célene appeared beside Link at some point, obscuring the sight of several strange wizards who noticed Link's anomaly.

"Hmm."

Link has nothing to hide from Wizard Sereen, "I feel like my current self can beat myself five seconds ago." ”

"That's good."

Wizard Céline nodded slightly, then raised the glass containing half a glass of red wine, covering her red lips, and reminded in a voice that only Link could hear: "Get ready, it won't be long before you're on the field." ”

"Thank you, Wizard Selene."

Link thanked him, took a deep breath, and got ready.

Wizard Paro then stepped out of his state of feeling the afterglow of promotion and began to speak.

"It took 46 years to become a sage from the ignorant and ignorant storm sea new blood.

The road was windy and muddy, and many were not easy.

Looking back on the past, it is like a dream.

Fortunately, the effort pays off.

I share with you my heartfelt joy today.

I hope that all of you here can ask for something.

Thank you. ”

At the end of the metamorphosis, the image of the Wizard of Paro gradually coincided with that of Link when he first met him in the Quat Islands.

Serious, unsmiling, concise and to the point.

The auditorium erupted in thunderous applause.

Wizard Paro stepped down from the platform.

Immediately, a wizard launched four carts with various gifts in different categories.

The first three carts, even as rare as the first, had nearly ten gifts.

The second one was even more directly full.

Only the fourth cart only has a gift box.

The on-site gift unwrapping session, which makes Link feel very inconsistent, is about to be staged.

At the beginning, when he learned that opening gifts on the spot was the second most important part of every sage promotion ceremony, Link's intuitive feeling was that he was thunderous and couldn't understand it.

The same is true now.

Wizard Paro first began to dismantle the gifts given by the third-level wizards who came to the scene to congratulate him, and announced them to everyone one by one.

These gifts are characterized by both high value and practicality.

Almost all of them are valuable witchcraft that can be used in the conquest of the heavens.

From time to time, there were one or two whispers in the auditorium, shocked by the magnanimity of these third-level wizards.

Every time Wizard Paro announces a gift, he will whisper a short conversation with the wizard who gave the gift to express gratitude and respect.

After the gifts of the third-level wizards are opened, it stands to reason that they should be postponed to the gifts given by the second-level wizards.

But Wizard Paro made a move that made many people's eyes fall off.

He walked straight to the lone cart with a gift box and a fourth cart.

Glancing around at everyone, Wizard Paro smiled faintly on the corner of his mouth, and said loudly:

"It seems that some people have already guessed that the gift I am going to open next comes from the new blood I am very optimistic about, the first place in the two districts of this year's first grade, Link. Grande. ”

As he spoke, Wizard Paro beckoned to Link, "You come, take it apart for me yourself." ”

Link, whose face was slightly pale, walked up to Wizard Paro with a slightly stiff stride with dozens of strange glances.

What kind of planes, big guy.

It turns out you're playing with me!

Thank you for the anonymous reward from the book friend Lin Fanfan, thank you!
