The news that a certain magician had returned to the holy city of Estali could be said to have reached the ears of everyone who cared or didn't care at an extremely fast speed.
Most people still don't believe in a man who can fight against the Lord of Guardians, massacre a grand duchy, and even dig up the land.
It’s just that people from all sides of the Karlsruhe Empire have testified repeatedly, and all kinds of weird rumors are flying in the sky. If others say they don’t believe it, all kinds of evidence will be thrown down.
Among those who presented evidence, there are even tower owners of the magic tower. If you still don’t believe it, why don’t you go to those tower owners yourself to practice?
There is definitely an element of exaggeration in these news, and the news from Midi is not that impartial and true report. But as long as half of it is true, it means that the magician not only cannot offend, but also tries his best to win over.
However, everyone remained silent for the first time, trying to see which way the wind was blowing.
In fact, it is not surprising to think so. There are too many people in history who tolerated things for a long time and showed all kinds of kindness, but once they changed, their personalities and attitudes were completely different from the past.
Therefore, just because a certain magician was easy to talk before does not mean that he will be equally easy to talk after showing his fangs.
If someone is not forward-looking and has bad luck, and encounters someone who is intent on taking revenge on society, then today next year will be his death anniversary. No one wants to have such an experience.
But everything must have a beginning. The first people to come to someone are, of course, those with whom they have good friendships in the past. Since I think I have not offended anyone, there is a high probability that I will not suffer retaliation or anger.
The great magician Kabanbai is the closest, and he has also strongly supported someone to stay in the Holy City. He is an old friend who is both a teacher and a friend.
Not to mention Lin's current status in mathematics, it was established at Kabanbai College. Although he has recently been involved in front-line mathematics teaching, there are also Finn's life courses at Kabanbai College, and the relationship between the two parties is still maintained.
It was quite good. So the old magician came to the door first.
In addition to his own concern, there are also many magicians in the Holy City who are also concerned. Many of these people are close friends of the great magician Kabamba, or powerful figures in the Holy City.
They had nothing to do with the topical figure, so of course they had no choice but to ask Cabanba to come out for an interview. Therefore, the old magician had to bear the expectations of quite a few people.
Magicians are not bound by territory like nobles. They are free and can say, "You can advance to attack, and you can retreat to defend." So the magicians' idea is very simple, they just want to know who's plan.
If the cost is not high, it is not an unacceptable thing for everyone to maintain peaceful coexistence, or even join his army.
After all, the great mathematician has a great reputation and does not have any bad behavior that is outraged by both humans and gods. Nominal surrender is nothing to a magician who pays attention to practical results. Doesn't it mean the same thing when everyone gathers in the holy city of Estali?
If the price is too high, no one can afford it, and they will have to go far away. Maybe some people who are unwilling to be oppressed will gather together and fight hard. The outcome is another matter.
Facing the question from this old magician who was kind to him, Lin did not hide his thoughts at all. That was to study magic and live a stable life.
For such a reason that is unbelievable to outsiders, magicians believe it. For no other reason than because this is the choice that many magicians would make.
The reason why most of these people are unable to realize such a dream is simply because they do not have sufficient funds for magic research. Therefore, they must come forward to find money or make money, hoping to achieve the financial freedom of the Lost World version.
Not all magicians are greedy for power, the more powerful the magician, the more so.
For this kind of people, if they are strong, then money and power will come with them, and these things are just accessories. If their strength is not up to par, no matter how much money they have to fight for a position, they will not be able to keep it.
Or be pulled down.
This principle... is correct in the world of Midi, a world with powerful individuals. In this world, there is no such thing as the so-called martial arts, no matter how high it is, can't beat a bullet; if you can defeat ten, you may not be able to defeat an army.
In my hometown, power represents everything, and in Midi, strength represents everything.
The great magician Kabambai left. In addition to the affairs of the academy, he was so busy all day long that it was amazing that he could find time to talk to someone. Don't expect this old man to stay long and chat about nonsense.
After getting the answer he wanted, the old magician couldn't sit still and left.
He also needs to spend time replying to those magicians who are also concerned about this matter. They will respond in different ways according to their closeness. As for whether those people believe it or not, it is not the old magician's business.
At least after meeting today, the Great Magician of Kabanbai has confirmed one thing. Although he holds the title of Great Magician and has fallen behind in a lot of training due to matters at the academy in recent years, even if he is at his peak, he will not
You will want to challenge the person in front of you.
】
Of course, this is not some kind of combat power analyzer, which can tell the difference in strength between the enemy and ourselves at a glance. It is also not some kind of sixth sense, which can tell whether the opponent is a dragon or an insect just by feeling.
In my hometown, if you want to know a man's financial resources, of course you have to look at external items such as clothes, watches, and leather shoes. Most of the time, these external items have reference value. Although it is not ruled out that there are people who love vanity and pretend to be fat, and
Or a pretender who likes to dress like a beggar even though he has a lot of money.
In the Lost World, especially among the magicians, there is no such thing as trying to make someone look fat. Because equipment is used to save lives, no matter how good it is, the quality of the equipment is also a part of one's strength.
If as soon as they met, the magic shield barrier used to protect his life would be completely broken by the strange metal balls flying in the sky in the blink of an eye. If he did not run away directly, it would be enough to trust the character of the magician.
Although as long as you replace the magic stones on your equipment, your magic shield barrier can be re-established, but those metal balls will not be consumed!
There are hundreds of them. Although their flight leaves obvious and strange trajectories, their movements cannot be predicted. They do not look like they are controlled by humans, and there are no rules in them.
Just looking at this move, the great magician Kabamba gave up the idea of competing with the person in front of him. He couldn't afford to be hurt. The magic stones that needed to be replaced were not red-level bargains. Just explode one at will.
It was enough to make him feel distressed.
Of course, all this was just an accident. Shakiri Kenmaru and his friends were having fun when the old magician barged in.
After sending away the old magician who came to visit, after a few days of peace, another old man with an aggressive personality was welcomed. If he made a list of the noble people he had met and ranked them in order, this old man would definitely be ranked first.
.
He was the one who transferred the title of grand duke to his son, and also handed over all his minor titles, but his actual authority was no less than that of Ricardo Carvey in the past.
The old man didn't look cautious at all. He sat on the sofa in the living room with a straight face, staring at someone until his spine felt cold. He didn't know that he learned this skill from his own family.
Women, those women learned it from him.
As for the escort knights who were no longer the Duke's Guard and were reorganized into the First Regiment of Militia, they stood in a row behind the old man. In terms of momentum, they were full of momentum. It made someone want to complain. Whose militia looks better than the top regular army?
Violent.
Although he thought he was as skinny as a city wall and could carry a few Star Destroyer cannons without any problem. But Lin was not used to staring at an old man to see who would laugh first. So Lin took the lead and said: "Old man, you come all the way."
They came here just to stare at me and make me unable to do anything. I am very busy." Someone said to himself: Pretending to be busy.
Since the old man has no title, he can no longer be called 'sir'. Although in the eyes of the common people, anyone who is a member of the nobility can be called so, but I still have some doubts about what is correct and correct in such a small place.
Do not care about everything.
In fact, you can use 'Your Excellency', which was originally only for dignitaries but is now widely used. This kind of honorific has nothing to do with status.
But the old man has seen enough in his lifetime of flattery on the surface and criticism and curses behind his back, so he doesn’t want to hear such snobbish honorifics after he retires.
But to be able to call this old man by his name directly, he must be at least of the same age. If younger generations like Lin dare to be presumptuous, they will definitely turn against each other in an instant. So Lin uses the title "Old Man", and the old man seems to be still
I am very satisfied and want others to follow suit.
Fortunately, someone didn't use the word "Lao Buddha". It means that there is no Buddha in Lost Land, so he probably wouldn't accept such a title. Lin So thought to himself.
Faced with the magician's doubts, the old man suddenly relaxed his face, smiled, and said: "How about, lend me your troops. After defeating all the Mysterious Lands, we will divide it equally."
Lin refused without thinking and said directly: "No. It is the power of destruction, not the power of domination. If the old man wants to destroy someone, just tell me and I will ensure that they will not see the sun tomorrow. But I want to
If you expect a group of non-human beings to rule over a conquered place, I can guarantee that in the end, you will wish you had destroyed those places."
"Oh, why do you say that? Aren't they a new race from the abyss?" Ricardo Kawi asked.
Lin shook his head and said, "No. They were originally earth element elves, and their current appearance is what I transformed them into."
"Earth elemental elves are worse than demons." The old man said with emotion.
"That's right."
Although demons are synonymous with chaos, humans are still useful to demons.
Human faith can make the Lord of the Evil God of the Abyss possible. Human flesh and blood is the devil's best food and sacrifice. Human greedy souls are the best trading medium in the Abyss.
It can be said that people, whether alive or dead, are useful resources to the devil. Therefore, the devil will not exhaust its resources when dealing with humans.
But the elemental elves don't need these at all. Humans are useless to the elemental elves.
And this so-called "uselessness" is a terrible thing, which means that no matter what the elemental elves do to humans, they will not take it to heart. Even if they all die, they will not feel it is a pity.
It's just that in the past, when elemental elves came to the Lost Lands, they had to make corresponding sacrifices to replace their bodies and wills. These things will be consumed. When they are exhausted, the elemental elves will be forcibly sent back.
But... the transmission method of the robot fleet combined with the Vap engine seems to have broken the inherent limitations of the elemental elves. No wonder it has attracted the attention of the Guardian Lord.
