"Are you looking down on prophecy?" Merlins raised his eyebrows, tit for tat.
After searching for so many years, he only found a student like Allen who was talented in learning prophecy. Naturally, he would not give up in front of Walder.
"I just want to tell Allen objectively that prophecy is not suitable for him," Walder replied. "A young man like him who is as vigorous as he should be carrying a weapon, rubbing fireballs, and rushing directly to fight. How can he be like you?"
, you are scheming behind your back all day long, you are so frustrated, and you are always worried about the backlash of fate?"
"You alchemists are not much better," Merlins retorted. "People say that you use the laboratory as a nursing home when you are alive, and you use the laboratory as a coffin when you die. Allen is young, how can you
Can I go to retirement with you?"
"I won't take him to retire," Walder said, raising his chin, "I will take him to see the world."
"See the world?" Merlins chuckled, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, "If Allen really wants to see the world, then there is no way better than being able to look back on history and get a glimpse of the future.
Prophecy. The stars can tell him all the answers he wants to know."
"But, Mr. Merlins, you have admitted several students before, including Allen. But now I am quite old, and I don't even have a successor. If Allen follows you, my alchemy
The art may soon disappear from this world.”
"Although I already have several students, Allen is the only one who has the talent to learn prophecy. Walder, as a member of the Mage Tower, are you willing to watch a skill that can directly lead to the legend?"
The magic has been lost?"
"..."
In this way, in the auditorium of the University of Cambridge, Merlins and Walder had a fierce dispute over the issue of Allen's ownership, and neither one was willing to give in.
Everyone present watched all this intently, and no one dared to say anything or be distracted. After all, it is extremely rare for a legendary mage and a famous alchemist to quarrel in public, and it may not happen for hundreds of years.
once.
In this way, many years later, you can brag to others and say, "I once witnessed the big shots in the Mage Tower quarreling like street gangsters." What a proud thing it is.
As for the other protagonist of the story, Alan York, he has become the object of envy, jealousy and hatred by everyone.
His competitors, such as Howard, although silent on the surface, are really hoping that one of the two big shots will give up the dispute and turn their attention to him.
In the eyes of Howard and others, this is called making full use of resources. After all, it is simply outrageous to let that bastard Allen occupy two of the top resources in the magic world by himself.
Of course, they only dared to think about it in their minds, and did not have the guts to step forward and give advice to the two mages.
They are still young and don't want to die.
…………
I don't know how much time passed, but finally a brave guy coughed dryly, took a step forward, and interrupted the endless quarrel between the two mages.
"Two distinguished gentlemen, perhaps you can consider Alan York's own ideas?"
Hearing this voice, everyone present had strange expressions on their faces, and turned their heads to look at the speaker.
Then they were surprised to find that Edward Lynn, the president of the University of Cambridge, appeared in the auditorium at some unknown time and was persuading the two mages with a smile.
Principal Lin En is young, but his status is extraordinary. He is not only the prince of the Kingdom of Ferrand across the strait, but also a favored person of the Church of Light. He is also the fiancé of Her Majesty Queen Margaret and the quasi-prince of the Kingdom of Braden.
At this moment, I am afraid that only a prominent person like Principal Lin En would dare to break up the fight between Merlins and Walder.
Merlins and Walder still respect Principal Lynn very much not only because of his noble birth, but also because he is humble, sticks to his duties, and never oversteps his bounds in doing things.
"We did neglect it," Merlins smiled apologetically, and then asked Alan before Walder could do it, "Tell me, Alan, do you want to spend the rest of your life in a pile of scrap metal with him, or do you want to spend the rest of your life with him in a pile of scrap metal?"
Come with me and look at the world in the long river of destiny?"
"Oh, scrap metal? What the hell are you doing?" Walder said angrily.
Smelling the persistent smell of gunpowder in the air, Principal Lin En smiled helplessly, then stood next to Allen and said to the two mages: "You two, please speak more politely! The children are frightened by you.
.”
Looking at Principal Lin En, who was only five or six years older than himself, Allen wanted to say, "I'm not a kid," but due to the situation, he held back his words in the end.
Then, Principal Lin En smiled and patted Allen on the shoulder and said: "Alan, make your own decision! Just follow your inner thoughts. Don't be afraid of offending them, I will support you."
Allen frowned slightly.
To be honest, he couldn't figure out why Principal Lin En suddenly appeared here, seemingly showing kindness to him, but actually pushing him to the forefront.
"Two powerful men are at his disposal", which sounds very glorious, as if he has reached the pinnacle of his life, but Allen can feel the sinister undercurrent contained in it.
As long as you make a slightly careless choice, you will fall into the endless abyss. Not only will you offend one of the two mages, but you will also be criticized in front of countless people.
This is what is called "praising and killing".
It's just... What does Principal Lin En have against him? Why should he do this to him?
Could it be because the original owner of the body did not listen to his advice and dropped out of Cambridge University?
Allen shook his head.
Although he couldn't understand Principal Lin En's intention, a trap was placed in front of him, and he would not jump into it foolishly.
No matter what, he must break the situation first.
So, Allen grinned, looked at Merlins, then at Walder, and finally said to Principal Lynn: "Mr. Principal, next month is my eighteenth birthday. I will be an adult soon.
No longer a child."
"Really?" Principal Lin En smiled, "Then I wish you a happy birthday in advance!"
"Thank you, Mr. Principal," Allen nodded politely, "It's just that, Mr. Principal, your question makes me very embarrassed! Lord Merlins' prophecy is extremely mysterious, and Mr. Walder's alchemy is equally profound, no matter which one you give up.
, my heart will bleed!"
"Then what are you going to do?" Principal Lin En put her hands on her hips and looked at him with a smile.
Allen thought for a moment, with an innocent expression on his face, and replied: "Only children do multiple-choice questions. I will be an adult soon, can I choose...all of them?"
