Chapter 12: The Great Trickster

"There will come a time when people don't think of dirty, imbecile, or overly funny clowns when they talk about pranksters. ”

"They're going to have a little bit more respect for the word in their hearts because of a 'big trickster' who stays in the North End. ”

"The pacters of the North District no longer bothered with this title...... Maybe their spellcasting ability isn't good enough, but it's enough to give them the courage to say 'no' and keep them up the strength to straighten their backs. ”

"That's enough. ”

Colmar squinted slightly, looking at the silent gray-robed magicians outside the window, muttering about her heart's desire. Her voice was soft, but the words she carried were unusually heavy.

The heaviness intertwined with Colma's snow-silver hair created a suffocating pressure β€” Zheng Qing desperately needed something new to talk about to shake off it.

Obviously, Jiang Yu also has such a need.

"Before I came, I thought I would see the scene of the dragon and phoenix dancing on the top of the house," the witch held a cup of warm orange juice in her hand, trying to soften the atmosphere in a relaxed tone: "...... He hadn't graduated from college yet, and at the age of less than twenty-four, he had attained the rank of Great Wizard...... The time you took to become a great wizard was even lower than Su Shijun's record back then. ”

When Zheng Qing heard this, he nodded again and again, but slowly frowned again.

Indeed, Colmar's achievement as a great wizard is not only for the North District, but also for the entire wizarding world. Schools should have good reason to celebrate such achievements.

But if he hadn't followed Jiang Yu to the North District and Gu Diao Street, he wouldn't even know about it!

Yesterday and today's newspapers, the most discussed was the half of the street that was destroyed by Riche and Augustus, and the few ethical discussions involving Nicholas's blood, and the suspicion of explosions in the depths of the sporadic silent forestβ€”and none of the reporters reported this news that really deserves to be written about and written.

This is not in line with Zheng Qing's perception of those media. Honestly, one day is enough time for those quill-wielding reporters to run around the globe, and there is no reason to ignore this big news in the nearby northern district of Beta.

Jiang Yu also seemed to realize that the new topic he had thrown out was not appropriate.

So she picked up her cup and took a few sips of juice honestly.

Colmar smiled, holding a cup of green bee and holding it to Jiang Yu: "Thank you for the compliment." But that's not something to celebrate. ”

As if worried that the two young guests didn't understand, she briefly explained the attitude of the school and the Wizarding Alliance: "As you know, I used a very clever method to advance this time...... Others may not have the luck of me to pluck wool from the outer gods. ”

"But most people don't necessarily see the shadow behind the glamour. Knowing that there is a shortcut to success, it is inevitable to give it a try. This is human nature, and it does not stand the test...... It would be a great tragedy if anyone really tried my path. Undoubtedly. ”

"So, in order to prevent more young wizards from going down the wrong path, both the league and the school have chosen to treat this matter coldly...... Personally, I am very much in favor of this choice. ”

"But it's not fair to you. Even if he understood the school's approach, Zheng Qing needed to show his attitude of standing with the owner of the Gini Hut.

"There's nothing fair about this world in the first place, and I've long forgotten how to write those two words after living in the North End for so long. The new Grand Wizard smiled faintly:

"Fame or glory is not the pursuit of the people of the North District...... I'm very satisfied with having my chair at the Grand Wizards' Conference, my share of the Wizards' Union with my offerings, and the magicians in the North District of Beta Town getting new 'Dao' and 'Path'. ”

"Moreover, because this advancement belongs to 'pulling seedlings to grow', my future development direction has been completely shrouded in the huge shadow of Satogua. If I don't want to slowly become His incarnation in the future, then for the rest of my life, giving up going further on the path of wizards is my only choice. ”

"My presence is also a danger factor for the Wizarding Alliance. Being able to keep a low profile is good for everyone. ”

As soon as the words fell, the tavern fell into an unusual silence for a while.

It is true that Colma's choice has a certain moral element, but Zheng Qing feels that her choice is more due to the fact that she has become the spiritual mentor of tens of thousands of new wizards in the North District - this power is too dangerous for the school and the wizarding alliance.

I'm afraid that the old men of the school and the wizarding alliance are still meeting in the small dark room to discuss how to face this emerging power, how to squeeze a little more cream from the interests that have long been carved up, to fill the bellies of the new wizards.

Zheng Qing took a small sip of the green bee in the cup.

The turquoise liquor became unusually cold under the action of ice cubes, and there was a slight stinging sensation of 'biting' in the mouth. This made him more focused and more sober.

"How did you give them the ability to cast spells?" When the cup of green bees bottomed out, Zheng Qing finally couldn't help but ask this question that he had been curious about for a long time: "...... I mean, Professor Montella is also experimenting with bloodline magic, so maybe you can have room to work together. ”

This suggestion came to him on a whim. It's unlikely, but it would be better to find one or two allies with common interests for Colmar at school than for her to hold on alone in the North End.

The owner of the Gini hut smiled wryly.

"It has nothing to do with bloodline magic. As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed to the tadpole-like mark on her eyebrows: "It's not so much that I let them have the ability to cast spells, it's better to say that this is a gift from the outer gods." ”

"This mark allowed me to receive feedback from the residual power of Satogua when the magic array collapsed, and finally broke the shackles of registered wizards and became a great wizard. Therefore, I imitated this trace, combined with the principle of sacrifice and feedback in the magic array, and gave the magician a spell seal with the power of the great wizard. ”

"A spell that absorbs life force and transforms it into magic. ”

"See the frogs in the hands of those wizards? that's where their power comes from when they cast their magic. As a metamorphosis creature, the frog's life force is the easiest to convert into magic...... Of course, if you don't have a frog on hand, you can also use your own life to cast magic. ”

As she spoke, Colma stroked the silver hair that fell from her shoulders, and suddenly laughed again: "If you come in the morning, you can still meet the investigators of the Wizarding Alliance." Because the number of frog deaths increased dramatically in a short period of time, the investigators of the Trident Sword were alarmed. They thought it was some terrible dark wizard performing a ritual. ”
