90. Invitations

"Shame on life...... Woo...... My life is no longer bright......"

It stands to reason that among the people present, Skasa, who has the best life experience, is now in a haze. After being molested inside and out, Skarsa could no longer face up to her previous words and deeds - if she was really just a sorceress in her twenties, she was actually a hundreds of years old!

The feeling of being led by the nose and stupidly followed...... Dwarf oil is really not too exciting!

"What did you do to her?"

Maybe it's because she exposed the impulsive side of her personality in front of others? In Lynn's opinion, Skasa's current state is almost the same as the "adolescent diary" that Lin secretly wrote when she was discovered by her friends, and her shame has destroyed her mental defense.

But in any case, the man who made Skasa so decadent and self-abandoning seemed very good at the moment......

"I didn't do much...... It's just this person, thinking too much. ”

"No, I think NONO, if you have the heart, you basically don't have a sense of disobedience if you pretend to be a villain, okay?"

“...... Is there one?"

NONO turned her head a little weakly, although she didn't think there was anything wrong with carrying a long list of notoriety on her body, but, in front of her friends, after all...... Seems a little unsightly?

"Forget it, NONO, if you're going to have fun, I won't bother...... Now down to business - Nyoa and Serena, I'm afraid they don't have much time to stay here right now, and they need to hurry to Wet Sauce. If you can, can you trouble NONO to escort the two of them?"

"Why do you need me an escort?" NONO quickly realized the crux of the matter. "Nia...... What's wrong with her?"

There will be a need for your own "escort", that means. At this moment, Nia has lost the ability to protect herself. So, why is it that it has only been about an hour since she disappeared, and Nya has ......

"Wait, you asked the two of them to go to Aisha?

As Nia and Serena, when Aisha's plan is in the final stage, she should try to keep them away from that place, right? Even if Lin had promised her to find Miss Purple Ponytail and make a transformer for Nia or something, she didn't have to let Nia find Aisha herself.

This is not only Lynn understands. Most likely, Nia's profession is also a little self-conscious, right?

"Well, it's pretty much the same as NONO thought, this time we're going to play a big ...... I've already told Nya about the situation, and although she was a little hesitant at first, she finally agreed. ”

With Serena's situation dragging Nia, in fact, there was no suspense from the beginning~ Besides, Lin and Aisha are not trying to escape from this world. Even if they go to the future, they are still under the confines of the same world. And Lin also explained to Nya that the enemies in her "fate" are in the years in between. There will be no movement.

On the contrary, the era they went to this time was just the time to settle accounts with Nia's "old enemy". When the news is confirmed. Nia nodded in agreement, and there was no suspense.

Lynn was skeptical again. The third purple ponytail doesn't count all of this?

“...... Is that so? You...... That's bold. I don't know what Aisha will think, but Miss Purple Ponytail. I'm sure you're going to like the excitement, right? But why don't you follow along and ask me to do this kind of thing?"

"Well, I'm going to look into things a little bit...... Remember to tell Sù Wet Sauce, I will find her before the time limit, so that she doesn't have to worry!"

Are there any ad hoc decisions?

NONO remembered that Lynn should not have a task in this regard...... So, this was Lynn's decision on the fly?

NONO didn't know the specific situation, so naturally he didn't bother to ask more, anyway, looking at Rin's appearance, there was no nervous feeling of sneaking around doing "bad things", and I thought about it, I didn't need to hide Aisha, right? If so, NONO didn't have to worry about bearing Aisha's blame at that time......

"Well, I promise you, you won't drop the chain when the time comes-you know, if that teacher of yours really gets angry, my little body really can't resist it, don't hurt me......"

"NONO, instead of worrying about me, you should worry about how to fly to the top of the mountain with those two stupid people who are sleeping in the dark! Let me remind you that although Nia and Selena are both in human form, when their consciousness is already deep in the ocean of self-consciousness, some characteristics of the ontology will uncontrollably 'slightly' exude a little - for example, weight and so on......"

“......”

Lin said that her little arms and legs definitely couldn't move Nia's heavy body - the bed had collapsed the two people, and now the ground inside had been crushed with some cracks, conservatively estimated, more than a ton......

So, although Selena and Nia look like humans, they are actually all other species! That strange density, no matter how you look at it, is far from normal creatures!

"Don't worry, as long as it is an object with a mass of less than 65,535 tons, I can carry it ......"

Well, this machine girl is not a normal storage zài......

===================

"By the way, those people just left in such a grand manner, don't you do anything to stop them?"

After watching NONO, who claimed to be able to drive 65,535 tons, easily leave with a sleeping grandmother in one hand and gradually disappear from view, Lin turned around and looked curiously at a certain Dharma Niang who was still squatting in the corner counting mushrooms.

"Anyway, I've almost figured out what the source of the vision that caused the shock was before, and that's enough. ”

Skasa Niang (Speaker: What the hell!) finally retreated from her self-loathing state, and looked at Lin lazily: "Thank you." The last few people who were still conscious here also passed out one by one. No one knows exactly what happened, so it's easy for me to report it to the emperor. At the most. Just to be on the safe side, I'll change the memories of everyone here a little bit to make it more in line with my expectations and requirements. ”

Lin blinked, and it took a while to digest it—sure enough, this person was the same person as the old fox in her impression!

It's just that in this day and age, people need to be tormented by Skaza's passive attitude. According to what Lynn knew about Skasa, it was probably the reigning emperor who could make her have such an attitude, which made her quite dissatisfied.

Other people's families work under the emperor, but this "old employee" is very angry, in a sense, she is the major shareholder of the largest equity of the empire's "company"!

However, in this era, it seems that the old capital of the empire is still quite sufficient. There was no real danger, so she was not very satisfied, but she had no intention of stopping some of the current emperor's madness? Did the elves pick up the upper of their shoes and slap their faces?

"This ...... Is it okay to deceive the top and the bottom like this?"

"No problem—if you report everything that happened here. That's the big problem. ”

Without NONO by his side, Skasa also looked a lot more relaxed. Basically, after a while, I can no longer see the embarrassed appearance of being pressed everywhere before.

"If the current emperor is you. If you are really an understanding person, you will not hold unrealistic delusions and attack the elves...... The brain is not very good, the ambition is still very big, the ambition is big, the personality is still a little dark, and he always likes to do some things in the dark that can't be put on the table - if he really sues him, with that guy's temperament, it is estimated that it will not take a few days for those clowns around him to know. ”

“...... What do you think about this kind of information?"

"You say so, but you don't have a defensive heart for me?" Skasa smiled and said indifferently, "I understand, unlike the three who left, you are the only one of the four who is truly 'human'. The most important thing is that you are still a person who does not carry a series of burdens such as region, country, and strength, and can talk to you purely as a human being. In that case, what if I tell you something that you should not tell others? Some people are afraid that they are about to be destroyed, but you don't look like someone who is afraid of this, right?"

"I used to say I was half human, but now ......"

Lin shook her head, feeling that she seemed to be getting farther and farther away from the definition of "human".

"Am I not the same? In this world, before me, there is no old immortal who has lived so long as I am...... But you have to think that you are a human being, so what? Anyway, there is never a shortage of guys who shout that they don't want to be human anymore, they abound, and there is nothing excessive about me doing this~"

At this, Skasa's face couldn't help but darken—she remembered the man who now sat on the throne of the Empire. Although she was well disguised, how could she hide Skasa's vicious eyes? This time, before she traveled, she had discovered that the aura on the little emperor of the empire was slightly wrong.

Even Nia and the others didn't notice Serena's abnormality, but they let Skasa, an "outsider", find out the clues, and it is conceivable that some people's subtle tricks are still quite naïve to hide their whereabouts in front of Skasa.

"Well, the reason why I'm talking to you about these nonsensical things is not because I want to trick you - I instinctively tell me and try not to delve into your origins, although I'm really curious. ”

"Do you really want to know?"

"No, no, no, forget it. Faced with Lin's generous attitude, Skasa recognized it first, "As a spellcaster, the most important thing is not anything else, isn't it to know how to measure and accept it when you see it?" When you said what you just said, my intuition was already sounding the alarm at full power...... So, please spare me. Even if you really plan to say it, I'm going to block my ears resolutely?"

Skasa is most confident that nothing else. is that he is more rational than many of his colleagues. Be more cautious. Because of this, many geniuses of his time at the time. Although she also gained the same reputation, in the end, she was the only one who lived to this era.

In another dimension, there is a theory called "the strongest theory of the Fa Master".

However, on the other side of this argument, there is also a saying called "the theory of the death of the Fa Ye...... But all the powerful masters. For a large part of the journey, they all suffer from a deep and fatal death, often reaching their peak, and finally fall for one or another strange reason—the source of all such cases is their own death......

In this world, mages encounter much less resistance on the way to the pinnacle than warriors. In addition, the entry threshold for the magician industry is relatively high, therefore. Many mages tend to think that their profession is inherently superior.

It is a career field that is very human, and it is much easier and better than people in other professions in the process of growing up. Many mages often have a superior mentality. Perhaps some mages are not arrogant in their own right, but subconsciously. There is also a little bit of arrogance.

This kind of mentality does seem to have a lot of danger. However, after all kinds of uh experiences, Skarsa understood. It is at its most dangerous, just after the mages have reached their peak......

It's like a glass of water that is almost full, and it becomes very easy to spill out. And mages, most of them, compared to warriors and other powerhouses, usually lack that tenacity and calmness in their state of mind.

It's easy for mages to fall into a state of frenzy.

This situation often does not change due to the improvement of the power realm - rather, the more powerful the mage, the more severe it is when he initiates illness.

Starting from tossing strangers, then tossing one's own people, and finally extending to oneself, until tossing oneself to death, it is considered to be stopped...... Skarsa has seen a similar situation more than once. It was for this reason that he would try to establish an organized and systematic association of mages.

In fact, his purpose had been told to his good friend from the beginning, the founding emperor of the empire - otherwise, how could such an organization with great power become bigger and bigger? Skasa's original idea was not to establish an organization that could control the country and even influence the world, nor was it to form a gang and gather the power of the mages together to become his own reserve force...... His idea, in fact, is very simple, it is just to provide a better communication for the mages, better research, and ...... A better place to vent.

After all, the Skarsa whose soul comes from another world is very clear that if a person stays at home all the time, the probability of developing a withdrawn and paranoid personality is very high. And these are the common problems of the mages in the first place - in short, a bunch of dead houses...... This problem, until much later, did not change qualitatively.

Of course, if you also classify those quick magicians who have learned magic just to fight, or even those who feel that they have been out of school after learning a dozen offensive magic, then the dropout rate of magicians can be greatly increased......

Is there any way to become lively and cheerful?

- Of course, I'm going to talk to my brother about my life! (crossed out)

――Of course, we are going to have an offline exchange meeting with homemates!

As long as you are diligent in communication and broaden your interpersonal relationships in the real world, the Fallen Sky Holy Black Cat can also retreat (advance) into five more glass!

As it turned out, the effect of Scarza's trick was still obvious - a person who died in the house was often seen as a potential offender, but when the dead house was formed in groups, people's senses would change subtly......

Well, although it may not be good to be regarded as a tease, but compared to being poked in the back, such a gaze is much kinder no matter how you think about it.

When Skarsa found that in order to gain the upper hand in order to be able to gain the upper hand in the process of communication turning into arguments and disputes turning into scuffles, some members of the Guild had begun to try to practice the art of bare-handed combat (because the Guild forbade magical private fighting), and he knew that this measure was effective - these mages had begun to try to adapt to their surroundings and take the initiative to change themselves.

This is undoubtedly a good change.

Although. There is a side effect that I don't know if it's good or bad - it seems that as the association has been established for more and more time, the singleness rate of the members. However, this is also a very strict problem. But because of the leader and founder, he himself is a complete bachelor, not to mention, he still retains his virginity...... Led by such a rather "bad" example, everyone consciously ignored the problem.

-- The greatest mage in the history of mankind is also a bachelor! I'm not in a hurry to get married, what's wrong with that!

These are the words that a young and studious aristocratic magician yelled at his parents who were anxious to hold their grandchildren after the calls of the family members to ask him to start a family gradually affected his life of exploration of magic.

And then. The "not in a hurry to marry a wife" in his mouth has not become "it's time to marry a wife" until the end...... Until the end of this person's old age and death, he was still a virgin. Fortunately, his parents are not the only one seedling, otherwise, the inheritance will really become a big problem.

The same situation played out in the homes of many nobles - after all, in the early days. Learning magic is quite a money-burning way out, and ordinary people really can't afford to raise such a group of big masters...... This directly leads to the fact that in the minds of those nobles, the Mage Association is tantamount to a bloody mouth.

――The man who is said to have entered. After that, they were all singles!

I didn't think of them as, or because the wizard industry is quite high-minded, and most people don't talk about it. Even nobles with some status don't dare to chew on the root of their tongues.

Time. The Mage Guild's situation is quite awkward. Because few nobles would want their sons to be linked to the key and important people of the lineage. will embark on such a road of no return. It's good, those who have the heart to endure the boring and lonely research life, reach a certain height, and be able to receive an invitation from the association, after all, are a minority, otherwise, the reputation of the association may be even more embarrassing.

Although later, those little nobles who cried about the misery of their family were all excited because they hugged their thighs - what is the difference between the mages of the association and those in other places? Quite simply, in other places, you provoke a mage and form a grudge, and that is only with one person...... However, if you offend a mage of the Guild, it will not be one person, but a group of people!

Squatting in prison together, carrying guns together, and prostituting together - these three are the three most ironclad relationships in the i-tradition, and whether they are true or not still needs to be verified, but for magicians, the relationship is iron-clad with each other's scrolls, hard books, and even paperweights!

It is said that the two mages who usually have more serious arguments actually have a better relationship in private...... I don't know who came up with it, but it has been verified by a large number of examples, and this point is common in associations.

Being able to be recruited by the association proves that there is no problem in terms of character and other aspects, and under normal circumstances, it is rare for them to form a bond with them. After all, if it is a misunderstanding, a group of virgins who have been cultivated in the association for so long have a friendly attitude towards people, but at least they will not be so reckless.

Anyway, it's rare to be a good person~!

Determine the identity, character and deeds of the other party, if it is really not a good bird, just go straight to the past!

That's how reckless our Mage Association is!

Skasa has been running the association for so long, even if he doesn't have much contact with those below, he will inevitably passively accept the scolding and smashing sounds from below-however, these mages themselves are not conscious, and their words and deeds are not wrong in the eyes of their own people, but for those outsiders who are not in this circle, they are a little choked.

Skasa, who thinks he is much more sensible than most of the people in the association, knows this very well.

It's like the emperor of the empire - in fact, he doesn't like the mages of their guild.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have formed a system of court mages on my own. To put it bluntly, although most of the people who studied magic in the early years were the children of the nobility, and few students from ordinary families had this treatment, but the children of the nobility also had a variety of personalities.

Those who first joined the Guild undoubtedly found it more interesting and attractive to them to explore magic than fame.

People who are already not interested in fame and fortune will naturally not take those things seriously after drifting in the big dye vat of the association for a few years, even if they will not inherit the family business. It's better than the old man, in a sense. Isn't it true that social status is only high, not low? Moreover, in terms of their personality. More or less paranoid and admit death, even if there are changes in the mutual communication of peers, some principled things are not changed just by saying that they will be changed.

So it's easy to offend people by going out to communicate......

This group of stunned people went crazy, but they rarely cared about the identity of the other party - so there were a few times when the little emperor of a certain generation was choked lightly...... In the end, he made up his mind to form a court mage who controlled his own.

Skarsa didn't care much about that.

Anyway, he didn't have the ambition to let the Mage Guild control the operation of the empire. The Emperor was happy to do this, and he was not incomprehensible - after all, there was such a group of madmen around him who could not only use it for themselves, but also frightened themselves. No one is at ease.

Anyway, there is no shortage of people in this world who like fame! Even mages have all kinds of people, and Skarsa can't interfere with this.

If you think about it carefully, in fact, the root cause of the "rapid development" of mages that has intensified later is actually here, right? As a ruler, when recruiting mage personnel, the priority is generally not research ability and research spirit. Rather, it is the ability to quickly put into battle. It is precisely because of this that many of the mages who "do what they like" have finally gained extraordinary status and fame...... And this also stimulates a large part of the mages who are not so happy to stay in the mage tower for the rest of their lives.

Since it seems that the martial arts faction is more promising, why continue to stay in the scientific research faction and hang yourself?

The so-called upward and downward effect - there was originally no shortage of nobles who had such thoughts. But he was afraid of being braided by the emperor, so he only dared to send his children to learn magic, and did not dare to bring in foreign aid in a grand manner. Right now. Even the emperor did this, then he waited for others. That's right!

Terrific...... Let's not look for the most awesome group! Lowering the standard by a whole notch, lest we offend the emperor's sensitive mind one day.

Thereupon. There is such a theory, and it quietly prevails......

There is a way out of learning magic!

If you learn magic and learn to rub high-level magic, you will be able to become a guest of a noble family!

If you can learn the forbidden spell that can destroy a city by hand, even the emperor will come to you and hire you!

So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and learn!

After hundreds of years of change, by Lynn's time, magicians had become a rotten profession - many magicians were actually able to rub high-level magic with difficulty throughout their lives. In the eyes of the mages of the association, this achievement is actually nothing at all, however, it is not uncommon to be able to get a very generous treatment in a big noble family, and even become a guest with a transcendent status.

After all, they who grew up in a backward class environment are actually more willing to learn those skills that can significantly enhance themselves!

In such an environment, it is not incomprehensible that the living environment of the mages of the association will become worse and worse in the future.

Even the children of the aristocracy, not counting their own ideas, must also want to learn magic to be able to better help their families, right? Then why spend a lot of effort on the traditional school? If you have time to ponder these things, it is better to learn some skills to accompany you!

Skasa was now vaguely aware of this trend - didn't it look like the situation in some of the novels he had read a long time ago? Skasa, as a traditional mage, had a little expectation of such a situation.

Because it's fun.

He said this to some of the worried people in the association -- and then it was understood. After that, everyone stopped delving into this seemingly unsettling fact.

――Because it seems like it's fun!

Anyway, if they really want to fight, they are very confident, and they will definitely not lag behind these idiots in the level of magic! What's more, with the enhancement of everyone's experience, the experience of martial arts is also increasing, and the association mage has the advantage in all aspects of fighting!

If it weren't for the fact that the fight was really not very elegant and beautiful, it would not be impossible for some experienced masters to directly transfer to "Arcane Boxers" to beat people......

Naturally, the mages of the association were not in a hurry. For a long time, they have maintained their traditions without changing, however, those who are willing to be like them are in the minority.

Organizations and systems based on utilitarianism can easily be corrupted and degenerate.

Skasa, who hadn't come out to take charge for a long time, this time, because of the actions of the new little emperor of the empire, it was really exaggerated and excessive, and he even wanted to wage war against the elves, so he finally slipped out of his house, planning to teach the little emperor a good lesson.

However, when he came to the emperor's palace, he realized that the so-called court mage group seemed to have a bad smell that he was very familiar with.

- Dark magic, necromancy......

The school of magic, which is not seriously wrong in itself, is ultimately due to the self-depravity of its successors, which makes magic itself tainted. Skasa did not find the noble aura of the original users of dark magic and necromancy in the body of those court mages, on the contrary, it was the most ordinary and most in line with the impression of ordinary people.

Skarsa didn't feel the need to delve into what had happened—he knew, and that was enough.

"Little Miss, do you want to come to our Mage Association and put up a name? A mage like you, I'm confident that I can get the approval of those stupid people?"

“...... What are your intentions?"

Lin looked at Skasa very "vigilantly": "I remember, your association seems to be a bunch of singles......, right? Any intentions?"

“......”

Skasa was once again inflicted tons of damage. (To be continued......)
