"No way?" Old Scuva opened his eyes that seemed to be a bit drunk all day long, looked at Link who was slowly walking up the stairs, and looked up and down as if he didn't know this person.
After a while, he said: "You can actually climb up to me, and you can do it in just such a short time?"
He pointed to the large wine jar placed aside and said, "I just finished the 'time' from this jar!"
However, there was still a hint of joy in Old Scuva's tone. After all, he and Link were already in a relationship, and of course he didn't want to see him get hung up on the previous levels.
Old Skua had always been really unsure about how far Link could reach. Although this kid had used some damn method he had devised on his own in the past three years, it seemed like there were no rules.
They can all master a little bit of it, but when it comes to real power, old Skua can't evaluate how strong Link can be. This time in the Mage Tower, it is based on the instructions left by the ancestor who built the Mage Tower.
The several guardians selected by the rules are all the most powerful sages among the members of the Mage Tower except the Grand Master, and there are only a few other people, such as Anta and old Skuva.
But you know, not only is it very powerful, it's also a little scary.
So Old Scuva's surprise can only be said to be half-true. In fact, when he noticed that Link had broken into the downstairs just now, he began to pay close attention to their battle nervously. At the most dangerous moment, he even
There was an urge to save Link first, even if it was against the rules, but he didn't expect that this kid would actually have such a trick to turn defeat into victory. It actually opened the eyes of the old Scuva who had lived for who knows how long.
In fact, although Link seems to understand the power of those rules, due to the limitations of his abilities, it is impossible to use it too deeply, so it is not very powerful. However, Link uses
These rules were combined in a way that was most conducive to his fighting. Often, strange soldiers stood out and subdued several sages whose real strength was far superior to him. Old Skuva was surprised by this boy's fighting ability.
With his intelligence and on-the-spot reaction, he does seem like a born knight.
"Isn't that right? You just finished drinking it now?" Link exclaimed exaggeratedly: "It's not like I didn't tell you the 'time' before the taste will be gone until dawn at most. You are simply wasting my hard work!"
"It's okay. Although the taste has begun to change, it's still a good wine. Besides," Old Skuva glared and pointed at his obviously bulging belly: "You little bastard, all of a sudden
You have done so much. I have done nothing but bring you here. I still want to drink it until now. If you had to force it down last night, your old Uncle Skuva’s belly would have been exploded by you.
!”
"Hehe", Link seemed to be a little embarrassed and touched his head, but if you look closely, there seemed to be an imperceptible smile of successful cunning flashing through the smile on his face, and he said to old Scuva: "Me too.
I was thinking that this might be the last time I make wine for you, so I accidentally made a little more. It was a pure accident, a pure accident!"
"Hmph!" Old Scuva turned his face away pretending to be disdainful, but a warm feeling emerged in his heart.
In fact, of course he understood what Link was thinking, so he tried his best to drink up all the stale 'time'. Anyway, this was also the intention of this brat. In the Mage Tower,
If there is any place where Grand Master Old Scuva cannot completely decide, it is only the Palace of Mysteries and this challenge path, although he thinks there is a lot of confidence that Link will not be punished too severely.
, but after all, it is just what he is thinking about.
"Link." When he thought of the road to challenge, Old Skuva stopped joking with Link. He turned around and said seriously to Link: "It is your own choice to become a challenger. According to the Mage Tower
According to the rules of the Father, all great mentors are the guardians of the road of challenge. This level is guarded by me. Are you ready to challenge me?!"
"Uh, well," Link said with a grimace, "Didn't you just say you have to pass a test? You don't really want me to fight you, do you? How can I possibly beat you?"
"How about this?" Link said with a sunny smile on his face: "Anyway, no one else here will see it. Seeing as I helped you brew that jar of 'time' overnight, why don't you secretly put it in
Shall I go there?!"
"Link!" Old Scuva shouted sternly: "You must remember that you are a challenger, and you must abide by the rules of the challenge road!"
"That's that," Link still looked at Old Scuva "naively" full of longing: "How about we make something simpler and test it with brewing?!"
Old Skua choked up at Link's words and almost rolled his eyes. He shook his head helplessly. "Father of the Mage Tower, with your power, I have never thought that among the challengers who have embarked on this path of challenge,
Can there be such a rogue talent?!
It's just that there is really nothing that Old Scuva can do against Link. No matter how reckless this kid is, he still hopes that Link can leave without violating the rules set by the father of the Mage Tower that he most admires.
After completing the challenge, even though this hope seemed very vague, Old Scuva did not want to see Link's hope dashed by his own hands.
"Let's do this," he slowed down and said to Link: "The rules left by the father of the Mage Tower say that if the challenger wants to pass the level guarded by the Grand Master, there are only two ways!"
"Which two roads?" Link actually didn't expect Old Skuva to really let him go, so he just teased him. Now that he heard Old Skuva get to the point, he quickly became serious and asked.
"The first is to defeat or even kill the guardian in the decisive battle, so that you can naturally go up." Old Scuva glanced at Link jokingly: "How about it? Do you want to try it?"
"What the hell! The person I have always respected the most is the beloved old Skuva Grand Master. How could I be at odds with you?" Link was startled by Old Skuva's look, and he quickly continued to bloom brilliantly.
With a smile on his face, he said: "You'd better just say the second point!"
Link is not the kind of person who doesn't know how much he weighs. In the past few years, he has spent most of his time next to these great mentors, and he has become familiar with the man whom Old Scuva and the others call him.
The "Father of the Mage Tower" left behind his ancestors who built the Mage Tower. I am still a little unsure about how terrifying the strength of these great mentors is.
If he really had to fight against these great mentors, Link felt that the only way was to rush to these great mentors before they had time to use magic. Without the use of magic, the melee ability was not good, so these are
The only weakness of the Grand Masters is that Link feels that this is actually impossible to achieve.
At least Link feels that even if his speed is ten times faster, he will not be able to get close to a great master like Old Scuva who controls the rules of time and space. The power of these two rules is enough to keep any opponent at bay.
At a sufficient distance, even if Old Skuva does not use the power of the rules, Link knows that he still has no hope, because these great mentors have already been able to cast forbidden spells instantly.
, and Link knows at least dozens of forbidden spells, which he absolutely cannot resist now.
"The second method is that you can prove that your understanding of the rules is deeper than that of the Grand Master guarding the corresponding level." Old Scuva looked at Link's grimace and stopped embarrassing him.
, waved his hand and said: "Tell me which one you want to choose!"
"Of course it's the second one, but" Link scratched his head: "This one has a deeper understanding of the rules. How should we judge it?!"
"Let's do this." Old Skuva looked at Link, sighed, and said, "Don't say that your uncle Old Skuva won't help you. This time, it's up to you to think of a way to prove to me that you are aware of time.
You have a deeper understanding of the rules of space than I do, but you have to remember that this is no joke, whether it is because of the instructions of the father of the Mage Tower, or because of a person who doesn’t know much about the laws of time and space.
The pride of an old magician, I will not even spare you on this point!"
"Okay then." As Old Skuva's tone changed, Link also stopped laughing. He seemed to think seriously for a while, and then said: "Grandmaster Old Skuva, I
I remember you once said that when you exert the power of the laws of time and space to create a magic shield intertwined with time and space, no force in this world can break through your magic shield.
, even the other great mentors can’t do anything about it, right?!”
"That's right?" Old Scuva glanced at Link in surprise: "You mean..."
"If I can crack your magic shield that is intertwined with the rules of time and space, does that prove that my understanding of time and space is just a little bit better than yours? Does that mean I can pass the test?!"
Link shrugged and said with a smile.
"Of course," Old Skua replied hesitantly. He looked at Link and frowned: "But, are you really sure you want to choose this test method to determine whether you can pass this level of challenge?"
The basis for the road?!"
Old Skua's hesitation was justified. The very businesslike words he just said to Link were not false, but deep down he still hoped to have the opportunity to let Link go. The test actually started with him and
When Link said that he wanted Link to find a way to prove it, it had already started.
Whether it is Old Skua or Link, they both know very well that when it comes to understanding the rules of time and space, there is absolutely no way Link can surpass Old Skua. Therefore, Old Skua's test is actually
I just hope that Link, a bastard who always does things unconventionally, can find some weird way. As long as he can barely meet the requirements of Old Scuva, it will be considered an explanation.
But Old Scuva never expected that Link, a always smart guy, suddenly got confused this time and actually came up with such a method, which can be said to be the most difficult way, to conduct his test.
The magic shield that Old Skuva uses to intertwine the rules of time and space is definitely the most powerful protective force in this world. It is even more than just power. It can be said that this kind of magic shield represents Old Skuva
For the pinnacle of the application of the rules of time and space, if Link can really break such a magic shield, then it is not a lie, but the old Scuva will firmly believe that Link is indeed understanding the rules of time and space.
Above, it is deeper than himself.
But how is this possible?!
This bastard doesn't seem to be so overestimating his abilities!
Old Skuva looked at this boy with an inscrutable smile, and suddenly felt a chill all over his body. Could it be that he had plotted against him again, right?
"I'm sure." Link ignored Old Skuva's surprise and nodded firmly: "Grandmaster Old Skuva, do you think this testing method is okay?"
"Okay." Old Skuva thought for a while, but still couldn't find any flaws in this testing method. At this time, he was also aroused by Link and had a strong sense of curiosity. He knew that this boy could never be
Because he was kind-hearted, he deliberately picked the strongest side of Old Skuva to collide with, so he also wanted to know what kind of evil ideas this guy Link would come up with: "You really don't need to think about it again?"
"No need," Link smiled at the old Grand Master Skuva: "But I want to make one thing clear first. No matter what method I use, as long as I crack your magic shield, I will be fine.
Is it considered a pass?"
"Well", Old Scuva was carefully considering Link's words, always feeling that there was some conspiracy in it, but in the end he couldn't figure it out, and just asked with a little doubt: "Then first, please tell me what is considered a crack.
Where is my magic shield?"
"Of course I can pass through your magic shield and walk to you, or you have to remove the magic shield and walk out on your own." Link replied without hesitation: "Do you think this is a crack?
Lost your magic shield? Of course, during this process, apart from the power of the shield, you cannot take the initiative to attack me."
"Uh", Old Skuva thought about it carefully, but still didn't find anything wrong. The fundamental function of the magic shield is to protect the people inside from harm. If the opponent can pass through the magic shield and reach him,
If he is around, or can force him to remove the protection of the magic shield, then of course it can be regarded as a crack, so Old Skua finally nodded: "Okay!"
"Then should we start now?" It was Link who began to urge. His confident look made Old Scuva very curious. If he hadn't been in such an environment now,
, there are rules to be followed by the father of the Mage Tower, so he had already rushed over and pinched this kid's neck and asked him to tell him the bad ideas he had in mind.
"Could it be..." Old Skuva looked at Link's eyes and glanced back and forth. Suddenly he remembered what happened to the guardians in the previous two games, and an idea came to his mind.
"Hehehe, if that's the case," Old Skuva also smiled secretly: "You bastard, just wait and see!"
"Are you ready?" Old Scuva, who felt that he had figured it out, couldn't wait to ask Link: "If you are ready, I will start!"
Just when he saw Link nodding, Old Scuva had already started chanting in his mouth. As he waved in his hand, a faint fiery red light circle that was visible to the naked eye slowly appeared.
"Ah!" Link's eyes suddenly widened and he screamed.
He was not surprised that this magic shield seemed to be alive, so beautiful and full of illusions. His scream was because with the appearance of the aperture, old Skuva was actually suspended in mid-air.
In the middle, the aperture that seemed to be able to accommodate more than ten people was now like a large tangible ball of light, covering less than half of the space on this floor, and old Scuva just sat in the big light.
The position of the center of the ball.
"Hahahaha", Old Skuva laughed proudly: "Boy, do you want to get in here through the floor?! Are you dumbfounded now?! Your uncle Skuva, is not
You are so easy to fool, I want to see how you can break my magic shield now!"
Old Skua had just remembered Link's behavior of breaking the ground on the first floor, so Old Skua thought that Link might want to repeat his old trick and get up from the ground.
Generally speaking, magic shields pay attention to protecting the surrounding impact and do not go deep into the ground. Old Skuva, who is on the road to challenge the mage tower, will not use magic shields to destroy the mage tower.
The building was left behind by his father, so if Link really did it unexpectedly, he might have a certain success rate.
"But now the wise old Skuva has seen through your trick." Old Skuva was a little proud and wanted to see Link's expression now: "Let me see what you will do now!"
However, what surprised Old Skuva was that what was written on Link's face was not disappointment and frustration. The boy followed Old Skuva's gaze and turned around on the floor, and then he seemed to understand what the old man meant.
When Scuva came up with his current intention, the expression on his face actually changed from surprise to understanding, and then from understanding to amusement.
"You don't think I'm going to punch a hole in the floor and go through it, do you?" Link made a move that made him faint: "Oh my God, old Scuva, you really have an imagination!"
"Isn't it?" Old Scuva, who originally thought he understood, was now a little confused by Link's expression.
"Of course not," Link said in a very disdainful tone: "How could the great Link Knight use the same trick twice? You don't understand Link Knight too well!"
"Then what new tricks do you have? Come quickly!" Old Scuva's curiosity was aroused to the extreme, and he suddenly became anxious and shouted loudly.
"What's the rush? What's the rush?" Link waved his hand and actually sat down in a very comfortable position: "I'll take a rest first!"
"You..." Old Scuva was almost furious. He was about to rush out and beat up this bastard, but he remembered the rules he just mentioned and quickly steadied himself.
"This guy won't use this method to trick me out, right?" Old Scuva muttered in his heart: "That's too stupid!"
Link stretched out, as if he was very comfortable, and put the sword aside without any intention of doing anything.
"Okay! Okay!" Old Scuva then remembered that Link had not stipulated breaking the magic shield just now, but he looked at Link blankly for a while, and suddenly smiled fiercely: "You want to waste it? , I will just spend it with you. I want to see whether you, a young man, is more patient, or I, an old guy who has lived for who knows how many years, is more patient! As long as this shield is not clear, I don’t believe you can have that strength. You can get in."
"I'm so tired, old Scuva", Link actually shouted: "I'll take a nap first, and then I'll break your magic shield when I get up!"
"Humph", old Skua, who had made up his mind, remained unmoved and just snorted coldly.
However, when he looked at Link outside the magic shield, he actually changed from a sitting position to a lying position. After a while, he seemed to have really fallen asleep, and the curiosity that he had suppressed forcibly escaped again. Come up.
How come this kid sleeps so soundly?
Does he really have any solution?
No one knows the power of his magic shield better than old Scuva. It is not even a power anymore.
In this ball of light that looks harmless to humans and animals, there are countless intertwined times and spaces created by old Skuva based on the laws of time and space. No matter whether it is any character or any force, when they step into the protective When you are shielded, you will not encounter any counterattack or resistance, but you will inevitably fall into the countless gaps where time and space intersect.
The world is an eternal living fire.
And the magic shield of old Skuva almost created such a living fire again.
This is the pinnacle of true fire magic. In comparison, Anka's pure fire is nothing, because that fire is dead, and the magic shield of old Skuva is time. A living fire that is constantly beating with space.
In addition to being unable to create life, inside this seemingly small magic shield is already a self-contained world, a world that belongs to old Skuva.
No one can break such a magic shield.
Old Skua glanced at Link, who seemed to be sleeping soundly, and frowned.
