Being able to drive does not mean that you can build a car, not to mention that driving is also divided into three levels. Experts can race on the track with others, do various tricks with iron objects with wheels, and control construction machinery to do various things that are beyond the capabilities of human beings. But when you encounter the three treasures on the road, it just depends on the day. Maybe it's to kill others, maybe it's to kill yourself.
Being able to cast the most basic apprentice-level magic is like being able to drive a car, but using magic well is like trying to drive a car well. Basic skills alone are not enough. Therefore, the gap between magicians and magicians is also quite large.
Many masters rely on a set of auxiliary magic to use themselves as berserkers, which is often helpless. Although he has the talent for magic, his head does not support him from going deeper on the path of magic. He had no choice but to show off some apprentice-level gadgets.
In any case, it was precisely after understanding the difficulty of apprentice-level magic that Lin dared to say that he would become a magician in four years. But listening to these words, the two young apprentices who had been with him for a long time could not help but feel a little sad.
Although he is qualified to tie two silver threads, his knowledge of magic is far beyond that of an apprentice under the guidance of his teacher and sister. However, the accumulation of power cannot be rushed. They who are not talented enough can only rely on meditation day by day to slowly increase their strength. And this is something that others cannot help.
Things at the college came to an end, and it was already late at night when Lin and the two little girls returned to their home in the community. The community is quite quiet, with occasional sounds of cats meowing and dogs barking in the distance, but as soon as Gray Hoof and White Nose move, the sounds of the small animals disappear. Because I will be running around everywhere today, and the locations are all around the core area of Wulian City, I didn’t take the two big dogs with me.
Now that the two little masters are back, they come out to greet them enthusiastically. If Lin came back alone, the two dogs who were lying quite comfortably before would probably just raise their eyelids, but there would be no other thought. After ruthlessly training the two dogs in the forest, when they saw someone walking back alone, the big dogs had already slunk away with their tails between their legs. What dog would have the guts to meet that evil star?
Fortunately, after training, the two dogs stopped barking and seemed quite quiet. Even so, the noise they made was considerable. There were still some neighbors nearby, holding lights, who came outside to see what the situation was like.
And the lich, who has rarely appeared in the college these days, is also busy at home in the community. The two girls, Halumi and Kaya, followed their elder sister in preparing for the battlefield tomorrow night. After all, the war fought by the Lich has reached fever pitch, especially after the other party found a powerful Austrian aid.
A high-ranking noble from the Elf Kingdom, Liena Titov is known as the sword dancer, and is the daughter of the kingdom's Prime Minister Luka Titov.
Lin met each other for the first time at the previous noble banquets. In fact, this was also the first time he saw a living Elf tribe with his own eyes, especially an Elf noble with noble blood. For this kind of creature, I had only seen or read about it in comics, or in movies. Arwen, the elf princess in the movie Lord of the Rings, can be said to be the most beautiful interpretation of the word elf by this fat nerd.
By the way, in the southwest peninsula of the Lost World, the main species of Homo sapiens are mainly humans. Other than that, the goblins that can barely be counted are spreading everywhere and almost becoming a scourge. Other than this, there are no other settlements of Homo sapiens. Occasionally, members of these races can be seen traveling throughout the continent as adventurers.
Looking back, I still remember the first time I saw the other person's well-groomed beauty, and the hot and bumpy figure that couldn't match the imaginary elf. Lin thought that this girl was just a showman for appreciation. After some inquiring, I found out that this person was actually a messenger of justice who was over two hundred years old and had a fierce reputation. This is not an overt or covert statement, Liena is a believer of Albrecht, the God of Justice, and a true messenger of justice.
Different from the lawful armed forces of the temple warriors, Liena lives a more casual life and sticks to her true heart. This was also one of the reasons why she was invited to attend a gathering of the Five Alliance Cities nobles. After seeing the lich and cursing 'a rotten person from the darkness', she did not take any actual action.
Another biggest factor is that the 'justice' of the Lost World is somewhat different from what is generally understood on Earth. That's not the kind of extreme attitude where you can't tolerate the sand in your eyes, and if you see the slightest bit of darkness, you are ready to tie the other person to the stake. When it comes to the concept of what kind of earth it is close to, it can be said to be the 'chivalry' in martial arts.
Do what is right and do it resolutely. But we also need to understand things and distinguish right from wrong. However, there is no such thing as "loyalty" in martial arts, and then it is easy to be instigated and taken advantage of. Simply put, when they see injustice, they will stop it. But if it's just a rumor, they will only seek confirmation. If it proves to be true, of course justice will be served. To seek justice without seeing the crime with one's own eyes is not allowed by Albrecht's teachings.
So strictly speaking, the God of Justice does not belong to the lawful camp. He prefers the stance of the neutral and good camp. It is precisely because of this that the belief in this god is quite common among adventurers, mercenaries, and even ordinary people. It’s almost the same as paying homage to Guan Gong on Ghost Island.
Liena Titov has done several acts of justice in the name of Albrecht, the God of Justice, so although she is not a senior member of the Church of Justice, people will still connect the two together.
But right now, there is a certain Lich whose identity cannot be confirmed, and there is no evidence to prove that she is the Demon King who ruled the Dark Ages thousands of years ago. Secondly, that era was too far away and completely incompatible with the conditions for believers of the Church of Justice to uphold justice. Of course there are good people among the Lich. But people who would transform themselves into undead creatures are inherently abnormal, so of course they have to be vigilant.
So she stayed, staying as a guest in Wulian City, keeping an eye on the lich. As soon as the other party does anything that violates her moral conscience, she will take action immediately, regardless of whether the other party is a demon king who once took pleasure in killing gods. But if she didn't cross the limit, she would just attack and defend her opponent on this bloodless battlefield.
As for the group of noble ladies who were targeting Fen at every turn, they gathered around Leena Titov and acted unscrupulously, without sparing any honor or dignity. The war situation is heating up.
Speaking of which, in Wulian City, a city dominated by magicians, Lin and Fen were quite frequent magicians who went to noble banquets but were not from noble backgrounds.
However, the reason why the two of them attended was neither to find a sponsor and sell themselves at a good price, nor to cling to powerful people to make themselves look more like high-ranking people. It's just that the beautiful magician who doesn't look like a lich gets into trouble with a group of ladies, and they have a verbal battle every week.
After the high elves joined the battle, the noble banquet was divided into two factions, those who supported Fenitikkal, or those who supported Liena Titov. It is inevitable that there will be some radical flower protectors who want to use violence to solve the problem.
Lin looked on and thought it was funny. This group of sperm-addled guys shouted to fight and kill, but they never thought that the person involved was stronger than them all tied together. Whoever they beat and killed would be killed?
"It's a matter of attitude."
After Lin expressed his funny thoughts, Fen replied with some dissatisfaction. She said: "Maybe those people can't beat me, but the people opposite are also weak chickens. If the other party raises their fists, but the people who support me shrink their heads like quails, that would be disappointing. So even if I don't need I would also be very happy if others protect me but express my attitude. So it is normal for you, an inconsiderate guy, to be loved by no one."
"Yes, yes." Lin said perfunctorily with his eyes raised, and his right hand was held by Fen. The two people who always go in and out together have business-like friendly smiles on their faces. While complaining to each other in low voices, they pretended to be intimate and gestured to every friendly noble who passed by.
In the past, when they came to such an occasion, although the two of them walked together, the focus of attention was still on the lich wearing a strange costume. Lin's well-behaved magician attire is just a green leaf in the eyes of everyone, inconspicuous, and it would be better if it didn't exist.
But something was different today. More people came to talk to Lin. In the past, most of these people would have just changed the topic and smoothly transferred it to their female companions; or they would have shamelessly sought friendship and asked for introductions, with the intention of flattering themselves in their words.
But today, everyone's focus seems to be on themselves, or should I say, on the college bearing the president's name. First, he congratulated the first batch of apprentices in the academy for passing the first stage of the assessment, and then quietly inquired about their lives in the academy. In his words, he did not forget to hint in a subtle way that there were some children with magical talents in his family. Unfortunately, Didn't get a good chance and so on.
In fact, the roles of the two parties were reversed before. Lin took advantage of Fen's face to talk to the nobles, and said in a subtle way that the college was in dire need and money was needed everywhere. But who wants to do a business without returns?
The few people who are willing to talk in depth are either willing to exchange the benefits of coffee or exclusive program knowledge. In short, he has a bigger plan and doesn't pay attention to a college that no one knows what it does.
However, it took four months to achieve twenty-six first-level magic apprentices. This achievement was terrifying enough. And since the college can show good results, others will of course wonder what kind of benefits they can take from this advantage.
