Old Skua reluctantly opened the door and saw Link standing outside the door with a bright smile on his face and a large jar of wine in his hands.
"Old Skuva, I told you that you should clean up this place, why is it still so messy!" Link said, while squeezing in, and sat down generously on Old Skuva's bed.
Ignoring the complicated emotions in Old Skuva's eyes.
"Damn boy, what are you doing here without sleeping in the middle of the night?!" Old Scuva cursed coldly. If it weren't for the fear of dropping the jar, he would still be tightly held in his arms by this boy.
I had already picked this guy up and kicked him out.
"Tsk, tsk", Link's dangling feet accidentally kicked down another wine jar, and he didn't dare to move anymore. He looked at old Scuva and sighed: "After all, you are also a great mentor who controls the laws of space, whatever.
Can't we use magic to get rid of all this? Why does it look like a doghouse!"
On weekdays, Link mostly met with Grand Master Old Skuva in the big house that he specially set up for brewing wine. Anyway, there were too many rooms in the mage tower to count, so there was no need to save money. Come to Lao Skuwa.
I haven't rested in the room very often, but it seems that every time I come here, I feel that there are many more wine jars scattered here than the last time. Even such a big room now looks...
The floor is almost full. Of course, most of the wine jars among them look like Link's masterpieces.
"The law of space is not for you to clean the room!" Old Skuva rolled his eyes at Link: "Bad boy, let me remind you again, to become an outstanding mage, you must rely on the elements you rely on.
No matter when you are in power, you must always have a sense of awe and a kind of faith. Don’t forget that they are the foundation of all your strength!”
I don’t know if he was trying to cover up the embarrassment that the room was in such a mess. Anyway, Old Scuva’s words of warning to Link were correct and stern, showing the image of a top ten mentor who was sincere and good at teaching.
"Tsk, this trick was used last time." Link was not fooled by the old Scuva's smug expression at all, and shook his head disdainfully: "An old bachelor and old drunkard of who knows how many years, in the room
Being a little messy is forgivable, and you don’t have to worry so much about coming up with excuses!”
"Besides, I've already told you." Link was still smiling and not serious at all: "I will not revere any kind of power. Power is only for use, not for belief! Those
The elements between heaven and earth are not my foundation. I like to merge with them, just because I regard them as good friends!"
"What a stubborn bastard." Old Skuva smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sat down next to Link: "Sometimes I really want to cut your head open to see what's inside.
, how come you are so bright sometimes, but so stubborn at other times! Do you know that what I am discussing with you now is magic, and the person standing in front of you now is a master of all magic?
The Great Master of the Mage Tower at the top?!"
"This is not stubbornness, this is called principle!" Link looked at the old Scuva who was obviously not joking, and replied seriously, but there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "I think using the method I am doing now
There’s nothing wrong with coming to practice magic skills!”
"No one has walked a path like yours, so I can't give you an accurate criterion for judging whether you are good or not." Old Scuva continued to speak earnestly, and rarely did he not only treat Link, a bastard,
There was no refutation of such stubborn words, and he continued to persuade patiently: "But at least I still have some experience on how to become a successful mage, so..."
Ever since Link decided to leave the Mage Tower from the road of challenge, Old Scuva was actually quite worried these days. After all, he brought Link into the Mage Tower with his own hands and watched him bit by bit.
As he grew up, old Skua unknowingly developed feelings for this little guy who often liked to make trouble with him that he had not felt for a long, long time.
Old Scuva has always been quite anxious about Link's practice method that he still can't figure out, because even in his long life experience, he has never seen anyone like this.
Come and do some magic.
Even the existing magic system on the mainland is based on the experience inherited from the past, coupled with the continuous exploration and modification of magicians over thousands of years, so that the current system can be achieved, although it cannot be said about the inside.
All steps are irreplaceable and optimal choices, but at least every one of them, even the smallest step, can be said to have condensed the wisdom and experience of countless ancestors.
Before Old Skuva entered the Mage Tower, he was one of the most talented magicians on the continent at that time. He has been deeply impressed by this process of learning magic since he was a child. To this day, he still insists on thinking about it.
To learn magic, you need to follow those steps step by step. What's more, what Link is learning now is magic inherited from the Mage Tower that is countless times more profound and profound than the existing magic system on the continent.
Moreover, in fact, the most basic first step to practice magic is to determine which type of magic attributes the person who wants to learn magic is in the body. You must know that although there are various types of magic attributes in everyone's body,
There is a big difference between the magic elements of each department, but the relationship between them is still very different. Therefore, a good tutor will often teach the magic of the corresponding department according to the magic attributes of his disciples. In this way,
Able to achieve maximum results in a short period of time.
The reason why Old Skua didn't test Link's magic attributes at first was that he was not impatient at all. With his master's level of cultivation in the Mage Tower, no matter which type of magic Link was suitable for, he would
It can be completely covered, but I didn't expect such a change later. Link suddenly became the challenger. According to the rules of the Mage Tower, everyone in the Mage Tower should give enough respect to the challenger.
Yes, the great mentors of the Mage Tower must do their best to answer any questions raised by the challenger, but no one in the Mage Tower should go to test the challenger in private before the challenger starts the challenge.
any strength.
The ancestor who built the Mage Tower back then established this rule, obviously out of a pride and dignity that dared to face any challenge, but he did not expect that under such a situation many years later, this rule would
This rule just meant that these great mentors, who clearly cared about Link, were unable to take the initiative to teach Link, and could only give these boys some indirect guidance.
But now the path chosen by this boy Link is completely incomprehensible to these great mentors, and it is obvious that this boy has tried to learn all kinds of magic. This situation makes old Scuva even more worried.
Endless.
People's magical attributes are fixed, and even if there is a magic genius with all attributes, it is impossible to study all kinds of magic to the peak. After all, human energy is limited.
As for the question of how the ancestor who built the Mage Tower was proficient in all types of magic, Old Skuva had never thought about it. In his mind, the ancestor who built the Mage Tower had long been better than
The ancient gods were even more powerful, and they should be omnipotent.
Therefore, Old Scuva has never thought about the possibility that the path that Link is currently taking to practice magic may be the way that the ancestor who built the Mage Tower used to be. He has always been wishful thinking that Link, the
The boy may have gone astray, so kind old Scuva was worried!
It would be fine if this kid really forgot about the three-year limit that he told him last time to fool him, but this kid often likes to confront the old master Skuva when doing things, and he often forgets what old Skuva said.
Those important things happened to be those things that Old Scuva accidentally said wrongly a few times, so he kept them firmly in mind.
Seeing Link's appearance when he came in today, Old Master Skuva felt that something was wrong, so he was willing to risk violating some of the rules left by the ancestor who built the Mage Tower, and also wanted to do something that he had not said before.
The words clearly told Link that this was a very determined decision for the old Scuva who had always adhered to all the instructions of the ancestor who built the Mage Tower.
But Link still interrupted Old Scuva's words.
"I am not a mage, I am a knight." Link's face was still full of smile, but there was also a determination: "It was before, it is now, and it will be in the future, old Scuva,
How come you even forgot this?!"
"Alas!" Old Skuva opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh: "Time!"
Although he had known this result for a long time, Old Skua suddenly felt a little depressed.
"Yeah, Old Skuva, you are very strong!" Link suddenly exclaimed, hugged the wine jar in his hand, and looked at Old Skuva in disbelief: "You can tell this?!
"
"What do I see..." Old Scuva responded a little confused, and then looked at Link holding the wine jar tightly, and suddenly realized, a terrible light emitted from his eyes, death
Staring hard at Link's jar of wine: "Is this... you really made it?!"
"Didn't you guess everything? I actually planned to give you a surprise!" Link handed the wine jar in his hand to Old Scuva: "Try it, I just made it. This is what you have been thinking about for a long time.
'time'!"
Old Scuva took the wine jar with gleaming eyes, opened the lid, raised his head and took a big sip, then shook his head with an expression of great pleasure, and it took him a long time to let out a strong breath of wine:
"This is the taste! This is the taste! You boy, what a boy! What a boy! I actually let you do it!"
The power of good wine is really infinite. Suddenly, Old Scuva forgot everything, and even made an exception to praise Link repeatedly, but Link seemed to be a little drunk from him. There was still an expression of surprise mixed with joy in his eyes.
This kind of "time" can be regarded as the most difficult one to brew among the many kinds of wine recorded in the scriptures left by the ancestor who built the mage tower. Those materials and other things are not forgotten, the key is In the process of making this kind of wine, the last few procedures are definitely not something ordinary people can do. To a large extent, the brewer needs to have a full understanding of the law of time, and even one or two of them. In order to complete the brewing process, the brewer must use magic that can affect the law of time.
In the process of brewing the wine "Time" this time, Old Scuva did guide Link several times, but he never took action directly, so this time Link was able to make the flavorful "Time" Bringing it to him, Old Skuva naturally understood what this meant.
This kid was able to master the application of the law of time to such a level without making a sound?!
He is someone who has never entered the Palace of Mysteries?!
With this skill alone, I am afraid that even the average mage in the Mage Tower would not be able to do it!
In the Mage Tower, most of the formal members will inevitably come into contact with the power of rules when their cultivation of the magic they practice reaches its peak.
Although over the years, only the four of them, Old Skuva, have truly been recognized by the ancestor who built the Mage Tower in the Palace of Mysteries, and have become great mentors who can fully master the power of the rules in the Mage Tower, they have not It doesn't mean that the other members of the Mage Tower know nothing about the power of rules.
However, according to Old Scuva's impression, there is really no one except Link who can master the magic of the law of time to the extent that he can brew this kind of wine called "time"!
This kid seems to have some skills in the way of practice he has developed himself.
When Old Scuva thought of this, he felt relieved a lot, grabbed the wine jar and took another big gulp.
"By the way, Old Skuva", Link looked at the way Old Skuva was drinking, a smile appeared on his face, but he suddenly remembered something and asked casually: "According to the establishment According to the rules left by the ancestor of the Mage Tower, the challenger should be able to decide on his own when he wants to take the challenge, right?!"
"Uh", Old Scuva was stunned for a moment, slowly put down the wine jar in his hand, stared at Link closely, and after a while, he slowly nodded: "That's right!"
"That's it." Link tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said in a casual tone as if he was deciding what to eat later: "Then let's do it tomorrow!"
"Aren't you?!" Poor old Skua felt his heart was strongly stimulated again, and shouted loudly: "Tomorrow?! I said Link, this is not a joke, do you know …”
"I know everything." Link had already stood up and said seriously to Old Skua: "I know that if you fail on the path of challenge, you will have to bear the severe punishment mentioned by the ancestor who built the Mage Tower. , I also know that this challenging road is definitely not easy to walk, but I also know that three years are coming soon. As a knight, his responsibilities and his commitments do not allow any evasion. There is room, so let’s make it tomorrow!”
Old Scuva looked at Link for a long time, but finally said nothing.
From Link's eyes, he saw a determination that had been brewing for three years.
If Link hadn't set such a three-year time limit for himself, he would never have been able to achieve such a big breakthrough in such a short period of time under such tight pressure.
So Old Skuva thought about it for a long time, but still did not tell Link the real situation, because Old Skuva knew very well that before Link was like this, he had devoted himself wholeheartedly to preparing for three years, and combined all the states with
The momentum has been adjusted to the optimal situation. If his goal is taken away, I am afraid that Link's future achievements will always stagnate at the current level.
Give it a try, let him try it.
Although Old Scuva didn't know what the harsh punishment was mentioned by the ancestor who built the Mage Tower, he believed that he would still be able to solve it as long as things were still happening in the Mage Tower.
"Okay, it's settled." Link didn't seem to like the current atmosphere. He waved his hand towards Old Scuva: "I'm leaving first. I have to send a tea bag to Kai."
Grand Instructor Ross, and then go say goodbye to Grand Instructor Qi Vera and Grand Instructor Lei Ze, so there won’t be any further delay!”
"Okay", Old Skuva nodded: "Come to me tomorrow and I will take you to the challenge!"
"Yeah," Link responded, walked to the door, and turned around as if remembering something and said, "By the way, old Scuva, you have to seize this jar of 'time' and drink it up tonight.
!”
"Ah, why?!" Old Scuva frowned and asked.
"Don't you even read books?!" Link didn't miss any opportunity to attack Old Skua: "Is there anything that can save 'time'? It's not easy to maintain the flavor of a day.
Take the time to drink, maybe after a while, this jar of 'time' will change its taste!"
"Let's go, let's go." Link pushed away and walked out. His shouting voice could be heard in the distance: "Remember to drink quickly, don't waste the good wine I have worked so hard to brew!"
Old Scuva looked at Link's leaving figure, and his eyes became much softer.
This kid, who put so much effort into creating such a "time", can be regarded as a parting gift to himself.
For this kind of top-quality wine, Old Scuva will never waste it without Link's explanation.
but……
"Damn, this bastard." When he lowered his head and saw the wine jar, which weighed dozens of kilograms, Old Skuva couldn't help but cursed: "Don't you know how to make a smaller one?! You want to dodge.
You still have to play tricks on me like this!"
He finally figured it out. This kid obviously did it on purpose. He made such a large jar of wine that he had to drink immediately. He just wanted to prevent himself from being a drunk man on this last night.
ah.
A magician's stomach also has capacity, but if you miss such a fine wine this time, you may not be able to drink it next time.
So while scolding angrily, Old Scuva picked up the wine jar and poured it into his mouth with great effort.
It's a pity that Old Scuva can't see the successful smile on Link's face who has already walked out. Otherwise, he might be able to guess that Link's plan may be more than just this...
