Although they are said to be apprentices, in fact, Halumi and Kaya, two girls in their thirties, still shamelessly hang two silver threads and maintain the rank of second-level magic apprentices. Marquis Balan has already
Put on a golden thread and become an official magician.
The two eldest girls who were raised by him and are still unable to marry are probably to avoid the requirements of the Magicians Association, which requires every magician to bring in at least two official magicians in his life.
Although this stipulation is clearly stipulated in the convention of the Magician Association, there is no mandatory punishment method to force magicians to do it. The association only uses subsidies to magicians so that those who do not obey obediently can receive it.
Supplies are reduced or even non-existent.
Simply put, if you can't threaten, you can only use inducements. For some magicians who are living in poverty, the association's subsidy is the key to their ability to successfully carry out magic research.
As we all know, researching magic is very expensive. When you reach the high position of a magician, as long as you have hands and feet, it is impossible to starve yourself to death. But if you have extra funds to support magic research, that is not necessarily the case.
.
Of course, some capable people can ignore the association's 'little' subsidy. Lin, who had been blacklisted by the Magicians Association for a long time, naturally ignored the association's innocuous rules and allowed the two big men to
The girl does what she wants to do.
As for whether they had to stay for other reasons, Lin didn't think too much about it. Some things are just good to get used to, and there is no need to get to the bottom of everything.
Although the Marquise Balan was at her own home, she still covered herself tightly when she was going to meet a man who was not a member of her family. Wearing a black robe and a veil, Lin was thinking, if it weren't for the fact that there was something cooling inside her clothes.
Magic circle, this girl is not even sweaty.
These three people would appear, so naturally Lin sent someone to call them over.
Even though the Marquise Balan is not her apprentice, this little guy doesn't insist on anyone, saying that since he is not her teacher, he has no right to order her. After all, his closest friend is this old guy's apprentice.
, and this is still his home.
Of course, when the three apprentices came, they couldn't be as inappropriately dressed as Fen. But they were also wearing everyday clothes at home, and they took care of themselves neatly and cleanly.
As soon as they saw Lin Hefen present, they immediately knelt down and saluted. In terms of etiquette, the three of them were meticulous, and no one could find fault with them.
The fact that the three older girls behaved so strictly was partly due to the influence of the noblewoman Marquis de Balan. Although the latter did not like to be close to people, her aristocratic etiquette seemed to be in her bones and she was always pretending to be herself.
Moreover, they have long passed that impetuous age like children. Although they no longer have the youthful agility of girls, entering the age of tigers and wolves also means that they have clearer expectations for their future. External manifestations
It's much calmer.
In fact, the age of the tiger and the wolf is not a derogatory term. Rather, men and women of this age act with a hint of frivolity and impetuousness in their behavior compared to those who have just grown up. Those who are aggressive have clearer goals in doing things. At least they know that they are
Whatever you are doing, it goes through your brain first before you do it.
Although the childlike innocence is missing, it is a very beautiful thing to watch the people around you grow in a good direction. No wonder nurturing games are so popular...
Not to mention the random thoughts in someone's heart, as the most extrovert in character, Halumi naturally became the window among the three to the outside world. She asked: "Teacher, do you have any orders when you summoned us?"
Although the apprentices learned about someone's misbehavior these days... from other people's reports, they were still very concerned about it. At least, they would want to know when the matter would implicate themselves, so that they would
Know when to run away.
It's very tiring to have a teacher who cheats his apprentices.
Before outsiders came in, Lin had already put away the two strange objects on the small coffee table. It didn't matter if the World Tree seeds were seen by outsiders. At most, the wealth was revealed. But the stumps of the indescribable thing were seen.
When we arrive, there will be many crazy people in the house.
Now the three apprentices only saw complex lines composed of light and shadow written on a whiteboard in front of their two teachers. This could be anything, such as a spell model, a molecular biology structure, or the design of some device.
picture.
What kind of thing it is, they can't tell with just a few glances without some explanation, so they just ask directly. Anyway, when it's time to explain, their teacher will naturally explain it clearly, or at least say what they think they should want.
degree of knowledge.
However, Lin did not explain anything to the three older girls about what was in front of him. Instead, he gave other instructions: "Go and get ready and put on all the combat equipment. I will take you to the magic tower later. I have something to do."
You guys help."
Before the three older girls could ask questions, Fen questioned: "Are you sure you want to take them there?"
Lin shrugged and said: "Sooner or later they will move there. There is nothing wrong with going there first to know the way. Besides, we are going to activate the energy pools of two magic towers at the same time this time, so we still need helpers. Even if they are doing the main job, they can't help.
, can also handle some chores.
"Otherwise, when we have to temporarily withdraw our hands, they can support us for a while. It's better than finding someone we don't know well and asking for help and having to explain for a long time, right?"
Fen accepted this statement. But she noticed another important point and asked: "We have to temporarily withdraw our hands? What do you mean? Someone is going to cause trouble?"
At the same time, the three older girls also followed Fen's words and cast questioning glances at someone.
Lin nodded and said, "I do worry about that."
"Who? Don't tell me that you are calling here now. Those guys in the sky don't care about helping to protect the magic tower. If so, your face is too worthless." Fen mocked.
As a former demon king who helped someone conquer the four elemental planes at close range, Fen was very aware of the huge hole someone dug for the robots.
Although there is no useless magic contract signed, all earth element elves are required to swear an oath before transformation. The weight of this oath will affect the robots on a deeper level.
It may be that the path to growth is cut off, or that the robots may choose to betray themselves and let the robots eat themselves. Anyway, the price of breaking the oath will definitely make it difficult for these elemental elves whose lives are almost eternal.
"I saw Azad in the abyss." Lin said.
With a simple answer, Fen frowned her beautiful eyebrows again. She has always been confident and her emotions can remain calm. The frown is more of an expression and does not represent her emotions.
But this time I was really worried.
Demon Prince Azad is a representative figure of chaotic evil. Although Fen is not afraid of this guy, he will also find him troublesome in every sense of the word.
"What is he doing over there?" asked Fin.
Lin shook his head and said bluntly: "I don't know either. But seeing him appear, there is a good chance that nothing good will happen. That's why I have to prepare in advance."
Azad is busy striving for the status of Prince of the Abyss. This news has not been made public and widely spread, so no one knows it. Otherwise, he will definitely use this time more boldly instead of being as careful as he is now.
Fen asked again: "If the matter is related to Azad, they can't be of use, right? Even if they wear all the belongings on their bodies, they can't deal with Azad."
The three older girls were slightly disappointed. But they also had to admit that they really were not worthy of death when they met the Demon Prince.
"Of course we can't count on them." Lin said frankly: "I just hope that when we have to come forward, someone can temporarily help us maintain the process of bringing the energy pool online. And asking them to be fully armed will only make them vulnerable when encountering the enemy.
Sometimes, you can hold on for a longer time until we come to the rescue. Of course, nothing happens, and the best thing is to activate the energy pool smoothly."
Fen also agreed with someone's statement and said to the three older girls: "Well, you go and prepare. By the way, help me inform Shi Dong and he will make the same preparations. I will take him with me then."
The stitched corpse made by Fen, the former commander of the Guards of the Dark Legion, is now endowed with a perfect body designed by original genes.
If someone dares to go beyond the former Demon King and order this little girl, the Marquise Balan, to do something, it is because he can gain some face from the Marquise Balan through his friendship with the old Mr. Kawei.
But for the undead head who refused to listen to anyone, Lin had no intention of communicating with him. Without Fen's nod, the man would not move at all. So whether to take him with him or not, and what to do with him, he had to ask Fen.
Make your own decision. Don't let someone else do it for you.
As the former Demon King who was more authoritative than someone else in the family spoke, the three older girls naturally went down to prepare.
Marquise Balan also experienced the baptism of war in this war against the abyss invasion.
Besides, to become an official magician, it is impossible for you to have never seen blood on your hands. Although there were people sent by the Kawei family to protect you at that time, you are not a young bird that cannot be killed and cannot see blood.
Therefore, the Marquise would not resist her teacher's request, and even vaguely expected it.
It can only be said that there is a violent factor hidden in people's hearts, but when it is released, the strong can hurt outsiders, and the weak can only bite themselves. So people will look for weaker people to release their violence, such as children...
…
However, the two people who are now discussing the construction of the energy pool have long passed the stage of vulgar fun. Fen asked about serious matters and said: "Since the two towers are going to be activated at the same time, which one do you plan to put me in charge of?"
Side."
Lin did not hesitate to conjure up the seeds of the World Tree, took it in his hand, and handed it forward. He said: "The magic tower on the side of the land is left to you. Because of the activation of the twin towers of the door, it actually takes two
The towers are built simultaneously.
"This reminds me that maybe during the activation process, I will encounter unknown mysterious forces again. Only you have enough knowledge reserves to solve such problems. If I come, I may be too close to the scientific side.
Thinking will lead to bad things."
"You mean, you plan to violently crack the magic tower on the other side of the abyss?" Fen asked.
"No. What I mean is that on the abyss side, since I plan to deal with those things, it is more appropriate for me to handle it from the beginning. Besides, if Azad dares to bring a bunch of demons to cause trouble,
I will directly ask Khan and the others to solve the problem."
