This is a confrontation that looks harmonious, but secretly hides their own agenda.
DeVos seemed to be asking about the place in Edna's heart, but if the little girl thought too simply and only regarded the graduation tour as a game, then he would naturally take back the initiative.
Moreover, if the route planned by Edna is not consistent with the identity of a mage, the flaws will inevitably be found and exploited.
Finally, if Edna is determined to go to the most dangerous place to test, even if there is a large group of Trasil elves guarding her behind her, then Devis must completely destroy the little girl's desire to be the master of the family.
Although this is unfair to a fifteen-year-old girl, if Edna wants to cooperate with the half-elf and gain the true power of the team, she must show the level of a captain...even if she is just conveying the half-elf
The opinions of the elves must also show their abilities.
DeVos will not leave his future in the hands of an impulsive and willful girl... Even if he follows her, he may meet the goddess of magic, but so what?
When he died, he also went to the divine kingdom of Azuth, but as long as he was a mage, who would be willing to meet his main god so early?
He has yet to find traces of himself in the elegance and complexity of the spells, and has never even succeeded in creating a self-made magic!
He hadn't left his name in the magic encyclopedia, so how could he die like this?
Facing Devis Pace's gentle smile, Edna returned him an enthusiastic smile: "I've thought about it, so I'll go south from the Hidden Forest, and first go to Aglaia City to see the magic there.
Academy, then walk along the High Road of Faerûn toward Candlekeep.
After changing all the books in my hand, I left Candlekeep and continued south along the Sword Coast, directly to Calimshan."
Devis's eyelids twitched. Of course the mages knew what was going on in Calimshan.
They wanted to travel, but they didn't want to get involved in the messy affairs between the gods of Toril.
He said in a deep tone: "It's not very convenient for us to go there in Calimshan, right? The followers of the Sun God are not easy to talk to."
Edna smiled innocently: "Don't worry about this problem, we can just go directly to Carlin Forest. Although outsiders are not welcome there, it is always no problem for me to take people there."
Her emphasis was on the word 'take people', and Devis looked down at Edna, who was sitting comfortably on the bench.
He frowned slightly and glanced at the half-elf sitting aside listening to their conversation from the corner of his eye.
However, Leonard just asked Edna in a soft voice: "Is it the place of Queen Vera? I really want to go! Some natural spells are better used by goblins, after all, they are their talents.
"
Edna said with a smile: "Of course, wherever Vera is, anyone from Aglaia can come and go freely."
Seeing Edna who regarded herself as a member of Aglaia City, Hill couldn't help but sigh.
His thoughts are a little confused now... After waking up at midnight, if he chooses to completely forget everything in Aglaia, then forget it.
If this goddess finally chooses to let herself become Edna who only has midnight memories, then her territory will be really lively.
Edna, you are not planning to place your main temple in the hidden town, are you?
He shook his head violently to stop himself from these random thoughts.
Anyway, according to his prediction, Edna couldn't even reach Aglaia... As for whether it was Longsaddle Town or Neverwinter that kept her in the end, it all depends on how dark the heart of the Hubbell family is.
Devis soon heard from the conversation between the two people that although the half-elf mage was extraordinary, he completely handed over the leadership to Edna... When the other party said that he was going to Calimshan, he was already considering Calimshan.
Is there any place or person in Lin Shan that is worthy of his visit?
Regardless of age or strength... Even if the elf's childhood is relatively long, the extraordinary mage in front of him must have reached adulthood!
This is also the reason why the other three people gave up the leadership to Devis. No one thought that together they could compete with this half-elf.
However... was the final winner turned out to be Miss Edna?
It's not the elf who gives orders in the name of Miss Edna... Creatures like elves are rarely willing to be human captains, and they basically manipulate them secretly.
DeVos was confused.
It's not that he looks down on Edna because she is a woman, but...does the teacher know what his daughter's temperament is?
Before coming here, his teacher had always hoped that they could take good care of his daughter, who was arrogant and willful and could not endure hardship.
That's why the other three people did so many things to prevent the little girl from being interested in them... When the nobles of Toril described their daughters who were more trouble-making, they always used the word lively and active.
Pampering and willfulness...it's scary to think about it, okay?
Their goal is to become an arcane wizard until they become the chief of the faction they study. For example, the mage Luca Yanes, who leads a group of exceptionally handsome and well-built followers and always behaves politely, aims to become one one day.
The chief alchemist of the Transmutation School.
So although DeVos doesn't agree with some of their practices, it's understandable... Lively and active aristocratic women can bankrupt a great nobleman, and their pampering and willfulness will probably put the whole family in debt.
But Edna is completely different from what they thought. She also likes to buy some exquisite jewelry, but she will never buy something that far exceeds the value of the product just because of the flattery of those businessmen.
From observation over the past few days, Edna has no vanity at all... Even if those businessmen say that she will be the most beautiful woman in the North in the future... Of course, she has to dress up properly, but she is completely unmoved.
.
As long as the price exceeds the bottom line set in her heart, Edna can turn around and leave. Even if those things make her reluctant to leave, but when she decides to give up, this beautiful girl will never be reluctant to leave.
So, was it because his teacher didn't pay attention to his daughter before, or was it that the little girl suffered so much during the forced escape that she changed so much?
DeVos thought about it for a while and then solemnly said: "I already understand what Miss Edna means, but there is a big difference between obeying the will of an extraordinary mage and the will of an underage girl supported by an extraordinary mage.
of.
I have to discuss it with other people, I can't make the decision on my own.
However, Miss Edna can rest assured that according to the tradition of Quesen Tower, once the command of the team is established, we will never go back on it in the future."
Devis nodded to Edna and turned to discuss with his companions.
Leonard, who had been listening attentively, turned his head and looked at Edna: "The Chesenta people value this kind of team command very seriously because they like to fight.
In other countries, there are many teams that disband after one adventure, but in Quesen Tower, one is the captain for one day and the next.
But you are a descendant of Azuth! It is wrong for them to want to be your captain."
"You know?" Edna laughed, "Sure enough, there are no hidden secrets in Silvermoon City.
My father has always only acknowledged that he is a high-ranking member of the Church of God of Mage in Quesen Tower."
Leonard scratched his hair: "The Tower of Nature is relatively well-informed. After all, there are so many birds flying from north to south."
Edna suddenly understood and nodded: "So, not many people in the North know the identity of my father?"
Although Leonard himself was relatively naive, his teacher would not avoid him when talking about human cities, so he quickly recalled the original words of the forest lady: "Of course they will regard your father's true identity as
The biggest secret is hidden. Otherwise, how can we tell the world that the chosen people of Mystra are dealing with the son of Azuth?
And another part of this child's bloodline comes from the predecessor Mystra... It's hard to say it or not!
As for the so-called corruption, when will Toril use this crime to hold an extraordinary mage accountable?
I don’t know who Alustriel and Kel were trying to laugh at!”
Edna pursed her lips. Although Leonard was talking about Mystra's elect, she felt that she was also humiliated.
Maybe it's because she has Alustriel blood, so she doesn't want to hear other people humiliate her grandmother?
Especially when these words came from the Tower Master of Nature who was very stupid in her eyes.
Edna was not surprised by Leonard's arrival. Just like the mages from Quesenta, they were probably sent here to try to see if they could fish out the Mystra who had been hiding for a long time.
Although the mithril elves have left the mainland for a long time, they are still very familiar with the roughly similar routines of the Stone of Destiny.
So I warned Edna very early... that it would be her fate to step on dog poop.
And when she stepped on dog poop, all the races in Toril, including the gods, even devils and demons, were watching her step on it.
This is why Edna, who knows it well, is willing to accept Lin En hiring her undead bodyguards.
Edna worked hard to make money in the past two years just to buy insurance for herself.
Although Sister Sanda Wang once told her that as long as Edna went to the Alchemy Hall to put up a bounty task, the Black Rose family would take the initiative to take the order.
It doesn't matter how much money you have, just a gold coin will do.
But Edna doesn't want to do that... Even if she can't pay the highest-end employment fee, she still hopes to meet the standard of protection mission remuneration.
Edna actually understood in her heart why Xecili loved her so much and never said to pay the money for her, but Lin En could.
As Leonard's brother who was already involved, Linn couldn't possibly watch his brother die. As long as he didn't escort him all the way, it wouldn't be a big deal to spend some money.
Anyway, if Leonard really encounters a life-and-death crisis, Linn can't stay out of it. But the Mithril Elf can't do it, and as the clan leader, Xesili is even less likely to give the clan to the Stone of Destiny.
So she could only find a way to let Edna make money on her own, but she couldn't help her with the money.
