Chapter 117 A game that lasts for thousands of years
This abandoned subway interchange has been around for some years. The red brick walls are not even covered with tiles. Salomon estimates that it is at least fifty years old. New York's subway lines are often changed, and some places are abandoned.
It was excusable. He stood on the step below Dave, listening to the long sighs of the apprentice magician. Salomon shook his head helplessly and recited a spell to make the magic book lying in the water
The puppy flew over together with the book and fell into his hands.
Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly put the Shar-Pei down, because the stupid dog always wanted to shake the water out of its fur, and he didn't want to get his clothes wet.
"Thank you, man, you saved my life and Tonk's dog's life." Dave covered his face and said painfully, "But Betsy, she...she will leave me again.
In fact, I left last time, but that was ten years ago... Well, I was finished."
"Of course you are finished!" Salomon bent down and put aside the magic book of the Merlin school. This is the secret of other schools. The Merlin school has been recognized by Kama Taj and handed over some spells. More
The magic belongs to the privacy of the school, and Salomon is absolutely not allowed to see it. The mystic mage said, "You master and disciple have done so many things in the past few days, do you still want me to remind you? Let's not talk about it for now.
Your teacher Balthazar, you perform magic in front of ordinary people..."
Dave took a long breath and closed his eyes tightly. He didn't listen to a word Salomon said. He didn't care at all about what was going to happen next, because the situation now was almost exactly the same as ten years ago.
——A boy who strayed into a mysterious world was unable to get the understanding of an ordinary girl because of an accident. Then the two parties broke up, separated, and never saw each other again.
Generally speaking, this kind of Hollywood template story has a happy ending, and before the incident occurs, the hero and heroine should have some emotional basis. But Dave thinks that there should be no reconciliation bridge that he likes to see in his life.
It's over, because life is not a movie, and he hasn't even held Betsy's hand yet.
"Hey! Hey!" Salomon patted Dave's face gently, "Are you listening to me?"
"Okay, okay." Dave opened his eyes and blinked hard. When he stood up, he also picked up the wet dog, "What do you want me to do?"
"You should probably just accept the warning. We have already dealt with the robber." Salomon said, "When Balthazar comes, I will tell him the result of Karma Taj's treatment - at least let him fly in the sky.
When you cast an additional invisibility spell, it won’t take much time.”
The simple iron door opened again, and Balthazar walked in with a bag of things, but the sight in front of him surprised him. Because Salomon only countered Dave's spell and stopped the activated cleaning tools.
, but the faucet is still open, and the transfer yard is still a vast ocean.
"Why are you here?" He looked at Salomon and asked, "What's going on here?"
"Can't you still see? Karma Taj's transformation is not as good as that of the Merlin school. The magic here is out of control." Salomon shrugged, "I think your apprentice knows better what exactly happened.
, it’s a miracle that he can still keep that little life.”
Balthazar immediately understood the cause and effect. He temporarily stopped teaching to give Dave time for a date. The scene in front of him must be Dave's preparation for the date. It must be that Dave is not good at learning and forced to use the Merlin Magic Ring.
Casting a spell and neglecting to control it after casting caused the magic to go out of control. Balthazar quickly cast a spell to make the water on the ground recede and restore everything to its original state - except for the detergent foam and the wet floor, there were also things scattered everywhere.
The mop here looks exactly the same as before.
"You!" Balthazar approached Dave and pressed his index finger heavily on the latter's chest, "You have tarnished the art of magic, and you despise the Merlin Ring! Magic is not a game! There are no shortcuts to magic! Look at him
!”
As the only "other people's child" type present, Salomon naturally became the best person for Balthazar to educate Dave. He pointed at the mystic and said loudly to Dave, "He can do it when he is five years old."
He used some small spells, but in the next few years, he kept reading magic books and accumulating knowledge until he could officially cast magic. You have only been exposed to magic for a few days, and you actually dare to cast spells randomly! If you can't even connect yourself
If you can't control it, then you can't control magic. It will not only hurt others, but also hurt yourself. The first lesson for every magician is not concentration, but moderation. You should learn the precepts, Dave.
"
"Thank you for your motto, but it's useless." Dave pulled away some distance, he shook his head, looking very frustrated, "If I can't even control a few mops, then what's the point of those commandments?
Does it make sense?”
"You have to put aside your worries and believe in yourself!"
"Another useless motto, thank you." Dave waved his hand again, indicating that he did not want to talk about it. But Balthazar did not let him go, because before that, he had searched for Dave.
After more than a thousand years of apprenticeship, Balthazar became interested in magic. Balthazar skipped many of the required subjects for spellcasters, such as commandments and temperance. He chose to let Dave try casting spells directly. The result of this was obvious. Dave did indeed
He developed a great interest in magic, but this also made him despise the dangers of magic.
"Is this what you do?" Faced with Balthazar's preaching, the rookie magician asked impatiently. Salomon, who had lost his value as an educational tool, found a clean chair next to him.
After sitting down, he would not leave until Kamal Taj informed him.
"It doesn't matter what I do..."
"It's very important, Balthazar," Dave took a deep breath, his words stuttering a little, which was a sequelae of ten years ago. He said, "You exist just to make me live in hell on earth! You know these ten
I told you what I went through in 2008..."
"Listen, you don't even understand what hell is on earth." Balthazar's anger subsided all of a sudden. He seemed to realize that he was a little too harsh on Dave, because from the moment he met him, Dave's life changed.
Great changes have taken place, and Dave's accumulation of magical knowledge is completely inferior to Salomon. It is very unfair to compare Salomon with him. Balthazar looked around and tried to encourage his apprentice.
"You're making progress."
"No! Not at all! Not wearing a ring, right?" Dave took off the ring, walked aside, and pointed to the tables and chairs piled aside, "See? Without the ring, I couldn't even move a chair.
No. You've got the wrong person, Balthazar, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. The savior you're looking for is really not me, and I'm not the Supreme Merlin, I'm just a nerd in the physics department." Dai.
The husband changed out of his old-fashioned leather shoes and put on his own high-top cloth shoes again, "Besides, I am embarrassed by wearing such stupid shoes."
Balthazar watched Dave put on the hood of his sweatshirt and left here without looking back. He sighed and sorted out the wet magic book. After a while, he watched a complete farce.
Only then did Salomon speak.
"Well, he will come back." He said, "At least he didn't throw away the magic weapon and run away."
"Yes, he will come back." Balthazar didn't even raise his head. "It was fate that pushed him to my side. He will not leave the magical world. After all, the Supreme Mage told you about that.
"Why isn't your last name Pendragon?" Balthazar raised his head and asked, "What did the Supreme Mage tell you?"
"I will be in charge of the Holy Sword in the future." Salomon shrugged, "In other words, I will become the king of Britain in the future. This is only the first title. I feel that if I want this title to become a reality, I must at least
We must first support the independence of Scotland and Northern Ireland."
"Then, the Merlin Wizards will serve you. Although I am the only one now." Balthazar bowed slightly, "But if Kamathaj does not help me, then the world will have no future."
"Why?" Salomon asked.
"Because of Morgan le Fay." Balthazar said, "Now Hoffas is trying to rescue Morgan le Fay..."
Salomon listened to Balthazar ramble about what had happened. He took a deep breath and finally fell silent. He couldn't bear to tell Balthazar that the Morgan Le Fay he locked in the matryoshka was just a human being.
The clone, all this is just another game played by Merlin, Merlin is not that easy to kill.
The Supreme Mage is right. Merlin's character is really very bad. Anyone who spends time with him will hate him. Balthazar and his lover paid a heavy price to seal Morgan Le Fay. Salomon can
Imagine, if Balthazar knew the truth of all this and knew that everything he had done for more than a thousand years was meaningless, then he would completely collapse, because what has been supporting him is what Merlin left to him.
That prophecy made him believe that his lover could be saved.
"I can't promise you this, Balthazar, I don't have the power." Salomon asked, "How did His Holiness reply to you?"
"The king said that Kamathaj would help if necessary." Balthazar raised his eyebrows, "But now Hoffas and his accomplices are still wandering outside."
"You can handle it, can't you?" Salomon said, "I always obey His Majesty's orders."
"It would be better if we could get some help." Balthazar said, "Dave still needs to grow up, and he is not yet strong enough to deal with the magicians of the Morgan Le Fay faction."
"Then let him grow." Salomon spread his hands, "The first official duty I performed was to kill the vampires and werewolves born from the magic in the "Dark Book of Darkness". When my hands were stained with blood,
My peers are still thinking about falling in love with the most beautiful female classmate in the class."
"The king has never understood education. He treated Mordred the same way, and he treated you the same way. Mordred was also an excellent knight at the beginning, but he did not have your good luck. The king treated you far better than
Treating Mordred is much more tolerant, but for normal people, this method is already very cruel." Balthazar was a little low, and Salomon's words seemed to remind him of the fall of Camelot and the disintegration of the Knights of the Round Table.
During that time. He sighed and continued, "Although our Wizarding Order doesn't look down on the Knights, what Tristan said, 'The king doesn't understand people's hearts' is true."
"I admit that His Holiness is indeed not very good at education, and contradictory education often makes me confused." Salomon lowered his head and pushed the approaching Shar-Pei aside with his feet, "But
I'm not a rebellious boy, I know what I should do, whether it's good or bad."
