"You can just ask him directly." Wang shrugged, then raised the scroll, "I'm going to use the scroll."
Everyone took a step back and distanced themselves from the mage. After all, the magic aura of the scroll looked too exaggerated.
The mage tore the scroll open, and the next moment, an oval mirror appeared in the air, floating in the space where the scroll had just been torn open. The king threw the scroll that had lost its magic aura aside, and stepped back to see that it was covered with snowflakes.
of mirror.
Everyone waited for a while, and Elizabeth cautiously asked: "The scroll is invalid?"
"No, my teacher may just be inconvenient. After all, time passes at different speeds in different planes. He may..."
Before he finished speaking, the snowflakes disappeared, and a very serious old man with a white beard appeared, wearing a pointed wizard hat.
Wang squinted his eyes and stared at the small piece of background exposed from the side of the old man's pointed wizard hat for a second, then turned to look at Elizabeth, and after careful confirmation, he said: "Teacher, the thing exposed on the left rear of your head is a certain
A female’s secondary sexual characteristics?”
"Huh? Hey, why are you standing behind me? Let's go!" The old man drove away the people behind him, and then realized that the pink bed behind him seemed to have exposed something, so he took out an ivory-carved
Arch model, chanting mantras loudly.
While the old mage was chanting the incantation, the mirror created by the spell was once again filled with snowflakes.
Wang: "The teacher was performing the Mordenkainen Mansion spell just now. Because the mansion formed by the Mansion spell is in another independent dimension, this communication spell was interfered with."
The next moment, the snowflakes disappeared, and the old man sat seriously behind the desk, with his hands on the desk and his fingers intertwined: "My student, if you contact me like this, you must have finally encountered difficulties in your adventure... Huh? Why don't you have any?
A sense of vicissitudes of life? Your robe is still the same one you had when you set out?"
Wang: "It's because..."
The old man cast a spell, and then roared: "You have only been in that plane for two days?"
Wang explained to Elizabeth next to him: "The teacher just used a spell to measure the time distortion value of the two planes."
"Stop talking nonsense," the old man interrupted his apprentice, "I don't have such a bad apprentice! You can handle it yourself..."
"I think Teacher, you must not know what kind of situation we are encountering."
"Huh, provocation is useless to me. You can solve your problem yourself!"
At this time, the stains caused by the greasy spell on Elizabeth's body disappeared without a trace because the spell time had passed.
The old mage who was still angry suddenly stopped and looked at Elizabeth through the mirror.
King: "This is Elizabeth, the youngest daughter of Lord Langdon."
Old Mage: "What? So the Duke wants to marry us? You can do it, boy, it's only been a day! You have my style. Tell me, what problems did you encounter?"
Elizabeth took a step forward and saluted the old mage: "Hello, I am your apprentice's employer. We have encountered a problem..."
Elizabeth explained the current situation in detail.
The old mage touched his chin: "That's it. Are cats and dogs just mutating under the influence of positive energy? Are there any large-scale gatherings of undead? Have high-level lichs appeared?"
Just as Wang was about to speak, the drow jumped in and said, "It is true that the number of requests for hunting undead creatures has increased recently, but there are no reports of legion-level gatherings of undead creatures, and there are no lichs either."
The old mage continued to ask: "Is there anyone selling cheap healing scrolls?"
"No." Zhuoer answered affirmatively.
"Well, I understand. King, this is a problem you can solve by yourself. There is indeed danger in that world approaching, but it is still early. You have enough time to temper yourself and find the truth. This is what I am going to give you.
Exam questions, take risks, track down the mastermind behind the scenes, and try to nip the crisis in the bud.
"If the final crisis unfortunately comes, you should have enough time to improve your strength, eliminate the evil behind the crisis, and then come back to me."
Wang nodded seriously: "I understand. So, teacher, how much time do I have to prepare?"
"About five years." The old mage replied, "So don't worry too much. If cheap healing scrolls or even 'holy water' appear, it means that the crisis has entered the next stage. If the undead begin to gather and lichs appear in large numbers,
, indicating that the crisis is very imminent."
Wang: "I understand. Thank you teacher."
"Also, although I gave you three scrolls, these are test questions for you. If you continue to use the scrolls, you will lose points. This is your experience, your story, and you should write it yourself."
At this time Elizabeth suddenly intervened and asked: "Then why did you give him the scroll?"
"I just gave it because I happened to have a scroll. He is going out, so I should give him something, right?" The old mage shrugged.
Elizabeth continued to ask: "The king just told me that if he unfortunately dies, you will use the Great Prayer to resurrect him."
"That's right." The old mage nodded simply.
"But you won't resurrect us."
"right."
"Then what if one of us forms a closer relationship with your apprentice?"
"Then he has to bear the sadness of loss himself," the old mage said in an indifferent tone. "This pain, as well as the bitterness from regret, will become the medicine of life. I have also experienced this, so I know how to grasp it."
Live the things that matter.”
Elizabeth was speechless by the sudden sense of vicissitudes emanating from the old mage.
The old mage stared at Wang and added: "As someone who has experienced this, I want to tell you that sometimes it is the most painful thing for a person to survive alone. You will never be able to sleep peacefully and dream about the death of your best friends again and again. You
You will suffer from regret and depression.
"Even if the Great Prayer Technique succeeds in the end and brings them back, you will no longer be the same person.
"After I fulfilled my wish and resurrected them, I chose to leave the plane where I grew up because I could no longer be with them. The moment I completed the resurrection, I understood that I had actually lost them forever.
"I have to leave and seal everything in my memory."
Wang bit his lip: "I remember, teacher."
The teacher looked at his beloved disciple for a few seconds: "No matter what, everything is your experience. You are a prophecy mage and the favorite of fate, but fate's favor is sometimes not a good thing, because all its gifts have already been secretly marked.
Got the price.”
After saying that, the image disappeared, and the mirror formed by magic also shattered, turning into little magic lights falling on the ground, and then quickly disappeared like melting snow under the scorching sun.
Wang: "Actually, I didn't understand a large part of what the teacher said. Why did he resurrect his best friends but lose them forever?"
Everyone looked at Wang with helpless expressions.
Elizabeth said: "Because he is no longer the person that his close friends are familiar with."
Wang: "Then we can get to know each other from the beginning, and we can also give some surprises to our close friends."
Marika: "Let's talk about this incident. Your teacher seemed to have given hints, but in fact he was telling riddles the whole time. Can you decipher it?"
"First, we found that cats mutated under the influence of excess positive energy. The teacher mentioned that the next stage is marked by the appearance of cheap healing scrolls or 'holy water'. This is also related to positive energy. The third stage
It’s a gathering of undead creatures…”
Elizabeth: "Isn't this contradictory to the first two stages?"
"It may also be that the positive energy is filling up, causing the undead creatures to be unable to survive. So they want to eliminate the mastermind behind it." Wang replied, "Maybe we can join forces with the undead creatures at this stage. I mean, those undead creatures that are rational."
Flint cursed: "Damn it, even though Caelynn is a random god, he won't be happy if his priests get mixed up with the undead."
Marika: "Not to mention the paladin. If we find a paladin in our team, he will definitely fight to the death with the undead."
Paladins regard life as a trial, and the elimination of all evil is the content of the trial.
Wang: "Then eliminate the crisis before that stage. In fact, as long as we kill the mastermind along the way, the crisis will be over. According to the original plan, we first go to the Duke to release the false news, and then go to the Druid Association to ask if they have any
Clues. The next step is to wait for the mastermind behind the scenes to send..."
Wang glanced at the entire team: "While waiting for the mastermind behind the scenes to come forward, we still need to expand the team. The current stage is related to small animals, and I think it would be good to have a druid."
