Chapter 18 Routines

"Who are you?" Lin asked with a calm mind.

"My name is Nathan Fredman."

"Nathan?"

"Ah yes, it's the Nathan you think." The white smoke in the shape of a mage seemed to have a smile, "The legend across the epoch, the greatest mage from the two epochs, created the existing spell civilization with one hand. Are you surprised? Actually, I also..."

"Well, that, sorry," Lin interrupted his about to begin statement, as if very ashamed, "Actually I don't know which Nathan you are talking about, well... I really don't know any of them."

The dialogue died instantly, the air fell into stagnation, and the figure like white smoke suddenly stopped moving.

"Well, no, it's okay, it doesn't matter," said the soul of the ** teacher. "What's important is that you saved me, and I sincerely hope to repay you well."

"Oh? Reward? How to repay?" Lin seemed to be interested in an instant.

"Ah, it's such a young man. I can fulfill your three wishes as reward for your help."

"There are such good things?" Lin seemed to be excited, "Then my wish is..."

"Wait, wait." Master Bai Yan coughed suddenly.

"What?"

"Ah, I can indeed help you realize your wish, but my mana has not yet been restored, so as long as you can help me do the last thing, I can successfully realize your three wishes."

"That means you can't achieve it now?"

Lin's tone was filled with unconcealed loss, and his whole body became soft, as if he was very energetic.

"But that thing is very simple, but it's just a small effort."

"Oh? Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"It's like that," the white smoke floated into an arrow shape, pointing obliquely to the lake. "As long as you put the candle in the water, I can completely free this confinement and then turn back to the original appearance. How about it? It's easy?"

"Soak the candle into the water?" Lin exclaimed in surprise, "Aren't you afraid of water?"

The ** Master seemed to have expected her to ask this question, and his words were filled with a smile: "No, young man, you may not be familiar with magic. This candle is not an ordinary candle, it is a container of the soul. The flames on the candle are the things that imprison me, the real seal. Ordinary water cannot have an impact on it. Only this lake full of... magic power can make it extinguish. Otherwise, how could it imprison me for millions of years?"

After hearing this, Lin did not rush to answer, but instead fell into deep thought. After a while, he raised his head and said to the ** master in the air.

"It's such a mage. Your words inspired me a lot. I suddenly thought of two stories. I wonder if you have heard of them?"

"Oh? Very welcome, young people."

"There is a story that once a young man got a lamp by chance and rescued the lamp god trapped inside. In order to thank him, the lamp god was willing to give him his body and help him realize all his wishes, including giving him wealth and status, and finally helped him become a great winner in life and marry a princess."

"Ah, if you want to marry a princess, just wait for me to come out..."

"No, I said the point I want to say is not this."

“…”

"There is another story, that is, there was a fisherman who once caught a drifting bottle on the sea. He opened it and found that there was a soul inside, and it turned out to be a devil."

"Devil? Are you talking about the little demon?"

"No, the point I want to say is not this, wait for me to finish."

“…”

"When he released the devil in the bottle, the devil not only did not appreciate him, but also wanted to eat him. It was because the devil felt that he had been waiting for too long, and he had lost his patience, as well as his gratitude to his benefactor, and other beautiful emotions. So what I want to ask is, which one of the gods of lamps and devils in these two stories?"

It seemed that in order to emphasize the seriousness of the question, she specially used honorific words.

The ** Master seemed to have not expected Lin to say this. After hesitating for a while, hesitating, "Of course it's the previous one. I really want to repay you..."

"And the premise of your return is that I need to free your soul so that you can help me realize my wish, right?"

"Yes, so I beg you to help me."

"Yes, since you asked me for help, more than once, should you have a little bit of a begging others? Besides, you said that I rescued you from the curse and imprisonment of millions of years. Is this favor very big? How can three wishes be enough? How can you be worthy of your identity as a legendary wizard? Look, the omnipotent lamp god, the way people repay is to directly promise your body, bind for life, oh, company. If you are willing to promise your body, I can also consider letting you out now."

The shadow floating in the air stopped talking, as if shocked by such shamelessness. After a while, he said in a tone that seemed to be heartbroken: "You... As an elder, I have seen too many greedy young people, and the promise of the Master is very precious..."

"Can you really fulfill all your wishes?"

“…in my capacity.”

"Then are you omniscient?"

"No one dares to slander the omniscience before the gods."

"So after a long time, you are not a god at all, right? In other words, the so-called three wishes have to be discounted. It is useless to promise your body, tsk."

Lin made a very regretful sound. He returned to a round and quiet look, his eyes retracted into the mud. Without saying a word, he just wrapped his tentacles firmly around the candle, looking as if he was ready to fall asleep at any time.

After waiting and waiting, the other party never spoke. Just when Lin Zhen was about to fall asleep, it suddenly spoke: "...If you have any wishes, you might as well say it out first and listen to me."

"No, no need." Lin lifted the mud on his eyes: "Actually, I still have one last doubt. If you are willing to answer well, then I can consider your proposal."

"What?"

"Look at my appearance now, it would be nice if I didn't treat me as a slime. So I'm very surprised. I'm not a human figure, why can you call me a young man? How do you know my age and my race?"

"The ** teacher must be able to see the essence of everything."

"oh?"

"Actually, everything now shows their original appearance in my eyes, probably because I am the same as I am now. In my opinion, your soul is not the chaotic or ignorant state of Slime..."

"That's how it is," Lin suddenly realized, "Can all mages see through other people's souls like you?"

"Of course not!" The other party strongly denied it, and there was already a faint anger in his voice. "What do you think is soul insight? That comes at a price! The price of flesh and blood!"

"In other words, there are not many amazing guys like you who can see through other people's soul state at a glance?"

"Of course," there was a clear impatience in the other party's tone, but he still forced himself to make his voice sound harmonious and friendly. "Don't worry, I can guarantee that everything I said is the truth..."

"Well, as the reward for having been chatting with me for so long, I'll give you some advice: it's more appropriate to give some benefits before fooling people next time. The benefits should be more specific and attractive, and it's best to be able to match their preferences - you see, you should show me your legendary equipment first, and say you want to give it to me or something, maybe I really believe it."

“…”

"Thank you." Lin said sincerely, "It's really a pleasure to chat with you. I learned a lot of things I didn't know before. You were probably a great mage during your lifetime."

“…”

"But, I think you know too much, so I have an idea - why don't you stay in this candle honestly? When will you think about what your attitude should be towards the owner, and when will I let you out?"

"Bastard! Liar!" The other party finally got angry, "You damn, humble, cunning thing!"

——I don’t know why this line sounds very familiar.

Lin thought about it carefully and suddenly realized: Isn’t this the line that the female mage often uses when cursing people? It can be seen that to a certain extent, this guy’s words are not entirely lies, at least part of them should be true - that is, when he was alive, he was really a nerd who was addicted to studying magic. He spent all day in the laboratory and couldn’t even curse people.

Lin waited very kindly for a while, and when the other party was almost unable to curse, he slowly continued: "Do you want to kill me if you say you don't obediently? But I advise you to think clearly before making this decision."

Lin said, wrapping the candle tightly and shaking it hard. Then she saw that the white smoke swayed. When her hand reached the left, the smoke had to float to the left. When her hand reached to the right, the smoke couldn't help but follow the candle, and then she swung the candles to sway, and the smoke drifted into a dizzy spiral shape.

"Stop! Stop!" the guy screamed.

Lin is happy.

"Hey, look at you, aren't you completely helpless? Can you be qualified to negotiate with me? You can't agree to your body quickly, what are you thinking?"

The white smoke seemed to finally be unable to bear it, and turned into a thin and bony claw, and rushed towards the forest crookedly.

"Ah, I advise you not to move," Lin snorted the candle in his hand like a pen, holding it firmly, "If you dare to move, I will crush the candle, oh, no, that's it. Ah--"

Lin said as he made a gesture of sending the candle into his mouth.

"Wait! No! Don't!"

The other party immediately screamed, as if he was very frightened, and tried hard to rush back into the candle.

Lin was prepared for a long time, so he quickly sealed the candle wick with a mud tentacle, successfully sealing Bai Yan's retreat.

"I said you haven't shown your true form yet?" she sneered, "When I don't remember what I ate before?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh? I really think I'm the one who wears a robe, Nathan?"

The other party no longer answered, but struggled desperately.

"It seems that you won't be honest without some means." Lin Suo raised his mouth and took a sip on the flame.

"Ah~" the other party screamed again, with a trembling voice of fear.

"Hey, does it taste like this?"

The taste is like marshmallow, and I can't eat too much substance, but I feel the joy of eating clouds. It's like gas ice cream. I take a sip before eating, and the cold air is in, and it's icy. She couldn't help it, and licked it hard for two more times, feeling the feeling of the coolness and sweetness melting in her mouth, and the pores all over her body opened comfortably - ah, it's still vanilla-flavored.

Suck on the left, suck on the right and suck on the right and suck on the left.

What a great enjoyment.

Lin couldn't help but exclaim: "Baby, you are so sweet."

"Help...help!"

Bai Yan shouted in tears.

"No creativity at all," Lin sighed, "No one will come to save you after shouting through your throat. Why not be honest?" As she said that, she tightened the tentacles on her hand. The candle that was imprisoned in it made a creaking sound, and it didn't feel like a real candle.

"Hey, just say you'll be fine. Show your true form! Candle monster!" Lin shouted.

"Who is the candle monster?" The other party seemed to be insulted, stopped screaming and began to deform.

It dissipated the original golden light and began to expand rapidly. The originally clean and white color also turned into a gray appearance, which really looked familiar.

"Oh, it's really you." Lin smiled, "Mr. Gudu." She thought she had taken the wrong thing.

"Don't call me Lord Gudu! Stupid stuff! Dirty mud!"

"Huh? You called me a young man just now?"

"Who knows what you are? I misunderstood. You are a treacherous thing! You are even more greedy than Slime! You are even more cunning than humans!"

Perhaps it was because their voice was too loud. Ulala, who was sleeping beside her, sat up like a sleepwalking, and asked in confusion while spitting bubbles: "Sir Puji, who are you talking to?"

"Oh, nothing, you sleep with you," Lin clenched the candle in his tentacles, "I found something very fun. We will play together when you wake up."
