It was a late spring afternoon and it just rained.
Under the shade of the trees, immersed in the fragrance of earth and moisture will make people forget the unpleasantness of having their shoes soaked in puddles. Rather than missing the concrete floors or asphalt roads of the earth, looking at the side face of the person walking next to me, that flawless face that seems to attract people's soul, still makes someone feel incredible. Is it lucky to be able to walk side by side with her, or...
Lin is now acting as a human porter, carrying things that Fen needs in class. Considering that someone's Flash Technique cannot protect anyone except herself; although Fen's Flash Technique does not have such a problem, she made a request to walk a distance on a whim. Since the distance between the college and their new home was not long, the two of them walked through the tree-lined path after the rain.
It seemed like she had a lot to say, and she seemed to want to say something too. But while walking on this road, no one spoke, and there was not a trace of disobedience. Both of them listened quietly to the rustling of the leaves caused by the wind. Sometimes a swaying will scatter the water droplets still left on the leaves from the afternoon rain, bringing a cool feeling.
In the attic of a villa in this community, several magicians were gathered around an illusion that resembled a forest path. There are more magic apprentices nearby who are continuing to inject mana and power into the magic circle, stimulating a certain magic.
One of them said proudly: "I have been preparing for the illusion labyrinth magic on this road for a long time, and I treat it with the highest standards. So no matter what, the target will never get out of this woods this time. Even if I don't help them and remove the magic, they will never be able to get out of it."
Another person boasted: "You are indeed a genius in illusion, Master of the Labyrinth. If you ask me, the association should grant you the qualification of a great magician as soon as possible. As long as you fall into your trap, no one can escape you." mastery."
"Easy to say, easy to say. Without the maze gems carefully crafted by Your Excellency, it would be useless for me to design a maze that no one can solve. You also take a lot of the credit. Hahaha."
The two magicians, one fat and one thin, were complimenting and talking to each other, but those in charge were not so relaxed.
Because their opponents are special, they cannot choose any means of surprise attack and can only use the passive method of this trap. After waiting for several days, they finally waited until the other party walked into the place where they thought the other party would definitely pass by.
This wasn't the first time they asked these two to take action, and they had no experience of failure before. But people trapped in the magic of the maze usually move forward and backward in a daze, or they just keep spinning without any awareness. However, under the observation of the improved arcane eye of the Tower of the Great Sage, although the target failed to move straight forward, its performance was completely different from those who had fallen into the trap before.
This is because the lich is very powerful in combat, so he has high self-confidence and is not worried at all about falling into a trap. Or are they simply fakes, whose perception is so poor that they have no idea that they have fallen into a trap?
As one of the targets, the magician probably didn't expect that the technology he developed would become a tool against him. Looking at the illusion of the real-life miniature of the Arcane Eye, although it is quite inconvenient to use, the various adjustments and matching are very complicated. But as long as the adjustment is in place, you can overlook the world from the perspective of a god, as if everything is under your control. Including the two people walking out of the woods in the illusion...
The person in charge asked doubtfully: "You have expanded the scope of the maze to outside the woods." As he turned his head, he saw the face of the magician who was good at creating mazes turned red to the color of liver. Even if the other party didn't say anything, he probably guessed that the matter was over today.
The other magicians were talking a lot, but the two people who laid the trap just gritted their teeth. But compared to the aristocratic style of shirking responsibility whenever something goes wrong, the masters present discussed the reasons for the failure very seriously.
So where is the error? Labyrinth gems not working? Or did they really crack the maze so easily? Got out of the maze? Or cracked the maze magic?
It seems that there are still many temptations to be done in order to deal with them. Those who had lost their lives before were all too confident in their own strength, thinking they could deal with any enemy or any situation. But enough endings can also serve as a reference for others. At least the newcomers understand one thing, dealing with these two will not be easy.
As for the two people walking towards Kabamba Academy, one walked into the trap without knowing it, and the other noticed it but didn't care. The same thing is, whatever the trap is, it has no effect on them.
Unlike the lich who can no longer be called a 'human', although Lin is still a human being, in fact the influence of the Dream Magic Tower on him has become greater and greater.
The magical effect solidified on the Dream Tower is gradually turning into his instinct, like muscle memory. Many reactions no longer require thought but are reflexive actions. But this is a decision that can only be made after careful logical judgment. What had the greatest impact on him, but he didn't realize it, was the advancement of his computing power.
The so-called illusion is, in a narrow sense, a form of visual misdirection, and in a broad sense, it is a form of sensory misdirection. No matter which one it is, there must be truth behind the misinformation. No matter how small a clue is, to someone today, it is as conspicuous as a bonfire in the dark night.
Another improvement is memory. Originally, Lin's memory was considered excellent, but not to the point of photographic memory. Ever since I got the Dream Magic Tower, I have used the Dream Tower to 'store' the images I have seen, and then record everything I detect around me. This data can be recalled at any time if needed in the future.
However, the procedures related to the Dream Tower became more and more convenient as they were modified, and the organization became more orderly. The Dream Tower accidentally allowed it to store information, and the boundary between the Dream Tower and its own memory became increasingly blurred. Until now, someone can no longer tell clearly. When he wants to know something in a certain impression, what comes to mind is the message given by the Dream Tower or the impression in his own memory.
But after all, it’s just a useful ability, so I don’t care about it that much. And this ability is used on the road in front of me. Although I have only taken a carriage and walked through it once, I have not actually seen the scenery on the entire road. But based on this information alone, rather than his calculation ability, Lin could "intuitively" figure out where the right path was. Didn't even realize he was walking into a trap.
These are the reasons why someone ignores the illusion in the tree-lined path and walks straight out.
However, no one knows all this yet.
Someone still follows the pace he is accustomed to and acts the way he has always done. Even if he knew it, he would probably say: Even if he becomes stronger, will his life be difficult? Saitama will also go shopping for groceries by herself.
The golem at the entrance of Kabamba Academy has long memorized the characteristics of the two magicians. As soon as they saw someone coming from the other side of the road, they opened the door of the academy.
The reason why the college is so considerate is not only to give teachers who are teachers a feeling of being treated with courtesy, but it has also happened in other colleges. When the impatient Master broke through the door and walked in. Although the truth of that incident was that it was said that the magicians on the academy side were planning to give the newcomers a scare, and the result was a bill for the cost of repairing the gate and the repair cost of the golem.
Not long after the two entered the door, a magic apprentice came to greet them. This is the young apprentice of the grandson of the great magician Kaban, who also received enlightenment education in the academy. But after school, I will also help my teachers and teachers’ teachers to deal with some college affairs. Standard child labor, but in Midland, no one would protest.
What he has to do today is to lead the lich, who is a life course teacher, to the classroom where he teaches. The destination is the small building that was once named Mathematics, but now it has been renamed 'Life'.
Because the two of them were walking, they planned their time more generously to avoid any accidents on the way. But since we arrived at the academy without any danger, we would naturally have some extra time. And because it’s not the time yet, the students haven’t arrived yet either. Of course, from the college's perspective, it is impossible to start classes early.
"Your Excellency." The young apprentice leading the way asked politely: "Because it's still early, would you like to take the two of you to the teachers' lounge on the second floor first?"
"No, take us to the classroom first. We need to prepare some things first so that we won't have to rush in class." Fen pointed at someone who was carrying a lot of things and said.
"Okay, Your Excellencies, please come with me."
The young apprentice took the two of them into the classroom on the first floor on the right side of the 'Life' building. Perhaps it is for formal magician training, so the layout here is more like a salon or a theater. The seats are very comfortable velvet chairs, and the small table for writing is made of precious wood from Midi, which is quite exquisite. There's a lot of space between seats, so there's no sense of oppression. And the number of seats is exactly twenty-four.
The teacher's position is also very particular. He sits on the largest chair in the classroom. But for an uninvited guest, it seems that the only option is to stand still. Or squeeze into that big chair with the lich who is giving the lecture.
"Sir, do you need anything else?" the young apprentice asked.
"Is there a high chair?" Fin asked. Seeing the puzzled expression on the little apprentice's face, she used whiteboard drawing skills to roughly draw the shape of a high chair in the air. "If you want a chair of this height, it doesn't matter what it looks like. If not, then help me bring another chair in."
"Okay. Do you have any other instructions, Your Excellency?"
"Okay. By the way, pick some leaves for me. Just pick three or five."
"Leaves? Do you need flowers?"
"No flowers, just green leaves, any leaves will do. Also, be careful and safe when picking leaves."
"Okay. When I go to move the chair, I will also notify Mr. Kabambai. Is this okay?"
Fen nodded and let the child leave first.
The two people who stayed took a look at the environment in the classroom. Fin said: "It's quite enjoyable, these people."
"The people who come to study are all respectable big shots, at least they are all magicians with rich wealth. It is impossible to treat them like those poor children."
"Well, let's put things on a shelf. Don't delay the class time of these big shots." Fen said teasingly.
"Okay." Lin opened the box he had worked so hard to move and took out the contents to assemble.
