The worlds of low-level wizards and high-level wizards are completely different.
But Colma has experience.
For her, the experience of going from the North District of Beta Town in the Magical Depression to First University, and stepping from the world of low-level wizards to the world of high-level wizards, was similar.
Unintelligible obscure lingo, prohibitively expensive magic materials, arrogant aristocratic nobles, suspicious glances and whispers from around, etc., all concepts belonging to the 'other' wizarding world are like the sea water at high tide.
An irresistible gesture rushed towards her.
She got soaked all over and shivered in the cold wind.
Fortunately, she had good luck, so she was not swept to the bottom of the sea by the tide.
But having studied divination, she knew that luck could not always favor her. At this moment, sitting in the dim light of the Sakura Tavern, listening to the chattering voice of the Mouse Fairy, the witch felt this more and more strongly - Monteria
The attack on her may have been a warning of fate.
Therefore, she must be more cautious.
Just like now.
Her intuition told her that the fat mouse in front of her was leading the topic to a dangerous area - maybe he had no bad intentions and was simply suggesting that the witch seize some opportunities, but Kolma, who had been to Sanyou Bookstore, knew
, I most likely have no chance, and it is really too dangerous to be associated with the words 'Where is the principal?'
Even a legendary wizard like Rat Immortal can die if he is not careful.
She can't live just for herself.
As the great wizard of the North District and the dean of the Fringe Academy, she always thinks more than others... and then a little more. As Heraclitus said, one cannot step into the same path twice.
Rivers and goddesses of fate will not cast two identical glances at the same person.
Next time, she may not be so lucky.
Therefore, after hearing the words 'If anyone knows', the witch was a little rude and a little reckless, but she interrupted the Rat Immortal very forcefully: "——You, your realm has been stable?"
The fat mouse sitting behind the row of glassware raised his head in surprise and glanced at her.
"——Well, no, not really." He twirled the beard around his mouth and shook his head thoughtfully without insisting on a whim: "What you see now is just a prosthetic body of mine.
"
A prosthetic body, rather than an incarnation, means that the Rat Immortal can mobilize fewer 'thoughts' than expected.
No wonder he was so careless.
Kolma breathed a sigh of relief and continued this unexpected topic naturally: "...I remember that during the Lantern Festival, the school held a grand prayer ceremony. It was said to help you strengthen your anchor point and get out of the way.
Entering the silent stage?"
"If you don't have enough foundation, no matter how many external forces there are, the help will be limited."
The Mouse Immortal seemed to have completely forgotten what he had discussed a moment ago. There was a trace of regret on his chubby little face, and he muttered: "To be honest, I was able to advance unexpectedly last year, which was beyond my expectation... I originally thought that I
It will be wiped out. A great wizard with a solid background and strong foundation like Professor Emma has not succeeded, so what can I complain about? People need to be self-aware, and the same goes for rats." "Then when will you be able to stabilize your realm?" Korma naturally would not miss this rare opportunity - she had always wanted to let the Rat Immortal join Fringe Academy.
Even if she has no chance to be the dean.
But being a vice-dean is not bad, especially the official vice-dean of First University. This is a position that many great wizards inside and outside the alliance will never touch.
"It will take a year and a half."
The Mouse Immortal shook his head vaguely, thinking that the witch's position as the Dean of the Edge Academy, which was within easy reach of the witch, was knocked away by a big crow, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "——If nothing happens to you this time, in a year and a half,
, maybe you will also have the opportunity to see the scenery of the legendary level... Or, after you become the edge dean, if the gaps between your fingers are a little leaky, I can also save a lot of hard work..."
Sure enough, he still has the temper of a mouse.
When Korma heard this, he immediately laughed.
"Just like you have nothing to complain about your current situation, I am very satisfied to be able to become a great wizard." Even so, she still cared a little bit after all: "——Besides, you also know that I
My talent is not very good..."
The Rat Fairy waved his hand to interrupt the witch.
"For wizards, talent is both important and unimportant."
This time, He was not vague, but explained very seriously: "...The important thing is that it is the threshold for you to enter the field of magic. If you can't cross it, everything will stop. Why did those wizards in the North District get raped before?
Called 'Jugglers'? It's because they are blocked from the threshold
What’s not important is that after you cross the threshold, the positive feedback that talent can give you will continue to decline...and will become increasingly insignificant as your rank increases. On the contrary, other traits, such as character
, such as opportunities, such as merit, etc., will gradually become apparent.
To use an old saying, 'Children only care, adults only look at luck.' We often hear about which children have good magic talents, but who would talk about which great wizard has good magic talents?
This is the problem - in this world, very few wizards can grow to a level that ignores talent - coincidentally, you have good luck, and when you just crossed the threshold, you were dragged down by the power of fate.
A state that can never be reached in a lifetime."
Having said this, the Rat Immortal couldn't help pinching his beard again, and said without forgetting: "——Speaking of which, I have seen similar young people in the past two years."
The image of a young wizard he had dealt with flashed through his mind, and he sighed with emotion: "Sure enough, everyone is right, this is a great and magnificent era."
Kolma had to interrupt the mouse's attempts to test the red line again.
"How did you find me?" She was very curious that she was still in the Sakura Tavern when she woke up.
"I didn't find you, but I was arranged to take care of you."
The Rat Immortal did not take the credit and simply explained: "After the school dealt with Monteria, it couldn't find a reliable person to take care of you for a while... so it called me out temporarily."
A simple sentence clearly outlines the difficult situation in the northern district and the fringes.
Kolma lowered her eyelids and remembered what her father once said to her - never wait for crises to come, but assume that they have already come, otherwise, there will be nothing she can do or not do today.
