At night, in Pest City, Fama Pest was lying quietly on the bed. He was seriously injured during this trip to the Baruch family, and he has been lying in his room to recuperate since he came back.
"It seems that Karl Baruch is far better than I guessed. Even you are no match for him and were injured by him."
In the quiet room, a long and leisurely voice suddenly sounded. In the darkness, a figure appeared in the darkness. It slowly walked out of the darkness and transformed into a white-robed mage.
"Teacher." On the bed, Fama turned her head instantly when she heard the voice, looked at the old man and shouted respectfully, then her face turned red and she defended: "Disciple was just careless for a moment."
"It was the disciple who underestimated him and was defeated by him because he was careless and unprepared. Otherwise, if the disciple is given another chance and is prepared, the disciple will definitely not be defeated."
Fama blushed and defended himself unconvinced. Thinking of losing to Lin Tianqi this time, he felt dissatisfied and aggrieved. He didn't think that his strength was really inferior to Lin Tianqi, because aside from his knightly skills, in the
As for the mage, he is already a junior magician apprentice and has learned the magic. If it were a head-on fight, he believed that he would never lose to Lin Tianqi, but he was too careless.
"No, Fama, you have already lost." When the white-robed mage heard this, he said calmly: "If you lose, you lose. It doesn't matter if you are careless or negligent, but if you lose, you lose."
"Teacher?!" Fama, who originally wanted to continue to defend herself, suddenly turned red when she heard this. She looked up at the white-robed mage, her eyes filled with aggrievedness and confusion.
He didn't understand why his teacher said this, because in Fama's heart, he believed that his strength was by no means weaker than Lin Tianqi, especially in terms of magic skills. Even though he was only a junior magician apprentice, he had mastered it.
As a man of magic, he believed that he could absolutely crush anyone of his age. The reason why he failed this time was simply because he was unprepared for the opportunity taken by Lin Tianqi.
Seeing the confusion and dissatisfaction in his disciple's eyes, the white-robed mage sighed slightly in his heart. He knew that his disciple was extremely talented and had already become a trainee knight and junior mage apprentice at the age of seven. Looking at the entire continent,
They are definitely worthy of being called geniuses, let alone in a small place like Luoying Principality. They are definitely the best among their peers, but at the same time, it is inevitable to develop a proud mentality.
He sighed slightly in his heart, but the white-robed mage also felt that this failure was not a good thing for his disciple, so he immediately said his words seriously.
"Fama, you have to understand that there is only one life in this world. There is never a word if in this world. Failure is failure. No matter what the reason is, if it fails, it is failure.
Yes, this is an unchangeable fact. If you feel that if you are given another chance, you will not lose again, and you are dissatisfied, have you ever thought about what it would be like if this time it was a life and death fight."
"If the opponent wanted to kill you at the beginning instead of defeating you, and wanted to take your life from the beginning, would you still be alive now? Do you have another chance?"
The white-robed mage said calmly, but in an instant, it sounded in Fama's ears like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning. It was more like a heavy hammer falling hard in his heart.
Yes, if it is a life and death fight, and the opponent wants to kill you rather than defeat you from the beginning, then can you still be alive now?
For a moment, Fama couldn't help but look a little stunned, and asked himself, if Lin Tianqi wanted to kill him at that time, then now, he would never survive, let alone defeat Lin Tianqi again. He only has one life, this time
Lin Tianqi just wanted to defeat him so he would have a chance to come back, but if he faced a life-and-death enemy, how could he do it again?
"Teacher, what you taught is that the disciple was wrong. This time, the disciple really lost!"
After a brief moment of sluggishness, Fama also came back to her senses, and then looked at the white-robed mage with a somewhat ashamed expression.
"As long as you understand, it doesn't matter if you fail. The most important thing is to learn from failure. Remember not to make the same mistake a second time."
Seeing Fama wake up, the white-robed mage nodded with satisfaction, with a satisfied smile on his face, but in the end he solemnly warned.
"But you have to remember that in this world, some failures can still give you a chance to come back, but some failures are over once, so you have to be more confident about the future."
"Yes, disciple understands."
Fama immediately said again.
The white-robed mage nodded when he saw this, and then said again.
"That's it, then you can continue to rest in peace and recuperate first. There is no need to think too much about other things. For you, the most important thing is to grow up as soon as possible."
"Yes, the disciple will definitely not let the teacher down."
Fama immediately said again.
The white-robed mage nodded, and then his figure slowly disappeared into the darkness again.
At the same time, in Blue City, in the Bloom family, Earl Leonard Bloom looked at the letter in his hand quietly, his face slightly gloomy.
"Three years old, trainee knight, Carl Baruch, Baruch family."
The news came from Hill City, and it was Lin Tianqi's news. Since the news about Lin Tianqi's trainee knight came out, not only the entire Baruch family and Hill City, but also some surrounding places, especially the Baruch family, have been paying attention to the situation.
Especially some hostile forces got the news immediately.
The Bloom family is one of the families that still has a feud with the Baruch family.
Leonard looked at the message on the letterhead in his hand quietly, with a gloomy face. Only he knew what kind of grudges the Bloom family and the Baruch family had. Although that matter has not been exposed, Baruch
The family doesn't know yet, but if the Baruch family rises, it will undoubtedly be a huge threat to the Bloom family.
So no matter what, he would never want to see the Baruch family rise again.
As a three-year-old trainee knight, if nothing unexpected happens, it is inevitable that he will become a titled knight in the future. However, this is not what worries him the most, because no matter how talented a knight is, he will only be a titled knight in the end, which will be brutal to them.
The Mu family would not pose much of a threat, and he could barely tolerate it. What really worried him was his talent as a mage.
If Carl Baruch in the letter also shows strong talent as a mage, that would be the biggest threat to his Bloom family.
"It just so happens that the academy will recruit students next month. If it's just a talent for knights, then you don't need to pay too much attention to the threat, but if the talent for mages is the same, then..."
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Leonard's eyes!
He can tolerate the appearance of knight geniuses in the Baruch family, because knights are crowned knights and will not pose any real danger to the Bloom family. There is no need for him to completely break up with the Baruch family over this.
Although the Baruch family has declined now and there is no mage left, Ackerman, as a titled knight and has a record of killing mage, is really going to fight for it. Even if the Bloom family wins, they will definitely win.
It's not easy, and the principality will definitely stop it, so he can tolerate this.
But if it is a mage genius, then no matter what, he will definitely obliterate it.
"Sir, the young master is here."
Outside the door, the servant's voice suddenly sounded. Leonard was shocked when he heard the words, and the gloom on his face suddenly disappeared.
"Father."
Not long after, a young man who looked to be seven or eight years old, with red lips and white teeth, a handsome appearance and a hint of arrogance in his eyebrows walked in.
"Douglas."
Seeing the young man, Leonard also showed joy on his face. The gloomy mood caused by the news from the Baruch family was wiped away in an instant, because the person in front of him was his son Douglas, and he had already passed away.
Two years ago, he used his own mage resources and spent a lot of money to give his son a preliminary mage test.
And it has been clearly tested that his son has the talent of a mage, and he is only strong but not weak.
So over the years, he has had high hopes for his son.
Douglas has always been very proud of himself after knowing that he had the talent of a mage.
"Father, you looked a little unhappy just now. Is there something wrong?"
Douglas opened his mouth and looked at his father. He noticed Leonard's look and the letter in his hand when he just came in.
Leonard didn't hide much and handed the letter in his hand to his son.
"It's news from the Baruch family in Hill City. Take a look."
When Douglas heard this, he immediately understood. The Dorum family and the Baruch family had a long history of grievances, and he naturally knew it.
He reached out to take the letter, looked at it, and then chuckled.
"I thought it was a big deal, but it turns out it's just a small thing like being an apprentice knight. Why should my father worry? No matter how talented a knight is, he is just a titled knight. When the child becomes an archmage one day,
A small Baruch family can be wiped out with just a few hands."
After reading the news, Douglas immediately smiled with disdain.
After knowing his talent as a mage, Douglas had a natural contempt for knights, because the strongest knight could only become a knight, but as soon as a mage became an official mage, even the lowest first-level mage, compared to the knight
The strongest titled knights are neither strong nor weak, so compared to the knights, Douglas has a natural sense of superiority.
In fact, not just Douglas, almost every mage in this world has a natural sense of superiority towards knights, which is determined by the upper limit and social status.
Leonard was in a slightly better mood after hearing this, and thought that this was indeed the case. As long as he did not become a mage, no matter how talented a knight was, his upper limit was limited, so that was the way to go.
"You're right. No matter how talented a knight is, he or she can only be a knight. I'm worried about my father too much."
Of course, he said this, but Leonard still had a thought in mind.
