"Sister, why did you bother me too?" Someone whose symptoms were slightly relieved looked helplessly at the lich who had succeeded in his prank and had a satisfied expression on his face.
"Oh, I thought that having gotten to your level, you should be used to such mental attacks, and at least you would have some resistance."
Lin sighed helplessly and said: "When I was a kid, I would stay away from enemies who would use mental attacks. Today, when I encounter such enemies, I will strike first. So in this situation, I really haven’t encountered this a few times. And—"
Looking at Marquis Balan who was inexplicably beaten by the lich and was still squatting on the ground, breathless,
"——Even if you want to tell others that magic cannot be used indiscriminately, there are other ways. Don't choose this method of tricking two people at once."
Fen pretended to be innocent and said: "I didn't mean to trick you. The competition between necromancers is basically a competition of spiritual strength. You two don't understand anything, can you blame me?"
Letting go of the skeleton dog still in his hand, Lin complained: "We can learn if we don't understand, but you can teach. As for that."
Just after this undead creature, which had been severely frightened by someone, fell to the ground, it lost its original arrogance and started barking and biting everyone it encountered. Instead, he shivered, lowered his eyebrows and bent his knees, wagging his tail in front of Lin.
Seeing this look, Lin frowned, feeling helpless. Said: "I understand why you have no reason to create any undead creatures in this era."
Sensing someone's expression, Fen smiled a little sourly and said, "Yeah, they are pretty useless, they rebel so easily. Those who are wise are unreliable, and those who are not wise are equally unreliable. I think I have learned that in the past. With an army of millions, only one person is left. You don’t know how to make or even use something like this."
"That's right." Lin replied a little absent-mindedly, because he was looking at Marquis Balan, who was being helped by his apprentice to take a rest in her seat. He said thoughtfully: "By the way, let me ask you a question."
Fen raised her eyebrows, returned to her original proud look, and said neatly: "Ask."
"Is it easy for someone who has never learned magic to make a skeleton dog?" As he spoke, Lin kicked away the skeleton dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy.
As if sensing someone's disgust, the skeleton dog tucks its tail between its legs and returns to its creator dejectedly. Although Queen Balan was curled up in discomfort, she still stretched out a hand to soothe the dog's head.
Although he didn't understand the meaning behind someone's question, Fen still commented fairly: "For a person who has never learned magic, being able to complete the magic of reviving a skeleton is considered very good."
As for whether Marquis Balan had learned magic before she came to this house, the two of them knew it well and didn't bother to explore it. They could all see that when this girl first arrived, except for her bloodline, all other aspects, including physical fitness and health, were even slightly worse than ordinary people.
Later, a little power will be accumulated. It was when Kaya was doing her daily classes that the girl joined in the fun and performed meditation rituals together. This was how she accumulated some power. As for the materials consumed in the meditation ceremony, considering that her grandfather paid for the rent, servants and housekeepers, there was no additional charge.
Of course, what I mentioned later was that the old man who loved his granddaughter had sent a large amount of high-end meditation ritual materials. The kind of incense that you have never seen before, only heard about in rumors, candles blessed by the gods, and all kinds of good things that will make someone feel that he is still the young man who has never seen the world.
In short, there is no dispute that the Marquis of Balan is a beginner in magic. But such a beginner in magic can do things that even a second-level advanced magic apprentice may not be able to do. The reason behind this is worth pondering.
Thinking of this, Lin suddenly asked: "Are you interested in taking her as an apprentice?"
Such a question that caught people off guard, not only Fen was surprised, the three girls should also have similar expressions. The reason why I say 'should' is because the face of Marquis Balan is hidden under a veil and cannot be seen directly by anyone. After all, there are limits to reenactment through environmental investigation.
Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Lin had no choice but to explain: "You see, in this era, the responsibility of the magician, and the requirement of the Magician Association, is to train two formal magician disciples. .rather than how high you have achieved.”
At this time, the two people who were talking turned their heads to look at the girls together. They stared at each other for a short while, remained silent, and then turned their eyes back to each other. Fen kept silent, wondering how Lin didn't know what the lich meant. He could only sigh: "I have given up on these two useless things. But I am too lazy to deliberately find apprentices to train them. I will encounter them in the future. Let alone what is pleasing to your eyes."
How could it be possible for two girls who were so ridiculed to remain silent. Halumi protested loudly and scolded her teacher; even Kaya made a popping sound when she opened a soda drink and started to cheer. I really don’t know where she learned it.
When the teacher continued to ignore them, Chaofen said: "Secondly, I think as a teacher, no matter what you teach, the most important thing is to teach the knowledge that is not in the books. Just like shocking that puppy before, That kind of spiritual confrontation should be paid attention to in advance, and there may be ways to avoid it."
Fen nodded and said, "Yes, there is a way to avoid that kind of harm."
"Yeah, right. So the main purpose of asking you to teach her well is not to teach her how good she is, but to prevent her from playing herself to death. In any case, she is Duke Kawei, please let us take care of her. It’s hard to let her live here, which is unjustifiable in front of that old man.”
There was no direct response, and Fen mocked back: "Have you ever thought about who among the people present is most likely to play to death?"
Lin Ji couldn't understand the meaning of Lich's words, but he just complained and said: "I am quite confident and sure about everything I do. It's because you don't know enough and don't have enough confidence. How can you blame me? .”
"Yes, yes." Fen responded perfunctorily.
Lin continued: "There is another reason for you to accept her as an apprentice. After all, she is a eldest daughter who is not yet married. It is nothing to live in other people's homes casually. But if she is using the identity of a magic apprentice , then it’s only natural to live here. And with this relationship, we can also get closer to Kaweigong. This is beneficial and harmless, so why not do it.”
"In the final analysis, it's all a calculation." Fen criticized.
"As long as a person is alive, there is no one who does not consider all aspects of things. The only ones who can not consider these are the dead... Well, okay, let me correct you, the only ones are the dead lying quietly in the cemetery."
With a cold snort, Fen relaxed his original position of standing with his hands folded. She took out the cigarette stick stuck at her waist, and Stone served her quickly and accurately, allowing the former Demon King to take a nice puff of cigarette. After spitting out a few puffs of cloud-like white smoke. Fencai said slowly: "Actually, after you talk so much, you still have to think about one less thing."
"You mean, my wishes?"
After Lin finished speaking, he and Fenqi looked at the other party involved in the apprenticeship incident. Although Marquis Balan tried to sit up straight and look more energetic, it had no effect. On the other hand, the two girls beside her were quite excited. Just when they were about to hug her and cheer and encourage them, the two apprentices were summoned to their side by their teacher using the flash technique.
He gestured with his hands to stop whatever the two girls wanted to say. Lin came to sit in front of Marquis Balan and said: "My Lord, I believe you have heard the conversation I just had with Fen. Of course, this matter will not be forced. But apart from your own In addition to my wishes, I hope to get the Grand Duke’s consent.”
At this point, seeing Marquis Balan's rare desire to speak, Lin stopped her and continued:
"After all, what you represent is not just you; behind you, there is a powerful family's interests that must be considered. Moreover, from the standpoint of your family, if the Grand Duke of Kawei really wants to My granddaughter is studying magic, so I believe he can find a more suitable candidate. Of course, what I mean by suitable here is not that there is a magician more powerful than Fen, but there must be someone more trustworthy to your family than her. About this At one point, I’m certainly optimistic about the outcome.”
After Lin finished speaking, Marquis Balan wanted to speak several times, but she hesitated. Lin had no choice but to encourage the other party and wait patiently. Finally, the girl protected by the veil said: "Your Excellency, thank you for your kindness. I think I need some time to think about it."
"Of course, this kind of decision is not so easy to make. It doesn't matter when you think about it or when you say it. But no matter what the lady decides, I hope that the grand duke will mention it to him personally. This is Respecting your grandfather also shows him that this is a decision you made after careful consideration, and I hope he can respect it as well. Of course, maybe you have made the decision not to learn magic here, but you still hope to learn magic. At this time, you need your grandfather's support for your decision. So it is necessary to explain it to him yourself. "
After explaining to this troublesome noble man, Lin turned to look at his apprentice and said: "If the Lady Lord asks you something, you can answer it; but when I ask you for your opinion, just be obedient. remain silent."
"Puff! Puff!" Halumi pouted again and opened the soda. Said: "You can answer questions, but you can't give opinions. Teacher, do you think this is impossible?"
Lin lectured: "Learning magic is a very serious matter. The Lordess is already an adult, not a child who can be manipulated by others. Any decision should be carefully considered by her. I don't want it to be because of you." Due to their influence, she has the misconception that learning magic seems to be fun and that learning magic can make friends. She even learns magic just for you, such stupid reasons. So I hope you can shut up. Mouth, because you can't be responsible for other people's lives. And this is also a kind of respect."
"Okay." Although they were a little dissatisfied, the two girls were still sensible and knew that their teacher was right. Even if they are reluctant to give up a new friend who may become a peer, they can only quietly wait for the other person to make their own decision.
