Chapter 164: Parting words, unexpected critical attack.
"Congratulations."
As usual, Link politely congratulated you first, and then expressed his attitude, "Congratulations on your successful promotion and becoming..."
"Don't be nervous."
Wizard Paro gave a look. Link felt reassured that there was no need to be polite, and then said, "Many of my friends are looking forward to the gift you gave me, so you can open it for me." "Yes."
Link
nodded in agreement.
Now that things have come to a point, what can Link do?
Of course, you have to follow orders.
He unsealed the gift box, lifted the lid, took out the 13 dolls one by one, and placed them on the surface of the cart.
There are only 13 thumb-sized dolls, and they don’t look special at all.
And no matter how fine the workmanship is, how precious can it be if the materials are there?
I don't think a wizard apprentice can afford anything good.
We can only find another way and be innovative.
Unfortunately, it was surprisingly unsuccessful.
Many people present looked disappointed.
Another group of people who knew about Paro Wizard's past, such as those third-level wizards and several senior second-level wizards, became somewhat interested.
It’s kind of interesting, these dolls.
If the effect is as they predicted, "Big Mouth" Caudle really didn't brag this time, and these dolls may really hit Paro's heart.
In terms of sentiment, I do prefer the Percy Sage Diamond Wand.
Can't help but look forward to it.
The mentality of the two waves of people is very different.
"Can I show it to you?"
Of course Link knew that there was nothing interesting about just placing the dolls out.
The actual effects must be demonstrated to show the charm of this set of dolls.
However, without the consent of the Paro wizard, Link would not dare to use his mental power and magic power under the noses of so many wizards.
If it is considered a provocation or a sneak attack, it will trigger a subconscious counterattack.
That would be terrible.
"Of course."
Wizard Paro agreed directly.
"Thank you, Wizard Paro."
Link thanked him, and then followed the instructions he had written down before, activating the main puppet and the first sub-doll with mental power and magic power of a specific frequency.
The thumb-sized puppet receives instructions and motivation and immediately takes action.
The master doll, who looked like the Paro wizard when he was young, was the first to jump out from the surface of the cart.
Suspended in mid-air, its body grows in the wind until it is half a man tall.
The main figure's posture is very particular, with his left hand behind his back and his right hand spread diagonally forward, as if inviting the opponent to attack first.
He is handsome and elegant, and his bearing is clear.
Here, Link refers to the image of Once Upon a Time played by Jet Li.
The purpose is to highlight the temperament of the main doll.
The first pair of dolls jumped out immediately after him, and their body shape changed in the same way.
It's also beautifully crafted, just a little blurry on the face.
Only those who are familiar with it can vaguely recognize it.
People who are not familiar with him will just think he is a stranger.
"Start."
An order was given.
The master puppet and the first pair of puppets responded and started fighting.
I don’t know how the shop owner, “Big Mouth” Caudle, made it.
The two dolls can actually perform level 0 witchcraft, which is lifelike.
Although it is just a light and shadow effect of witchcraft, it is an illusion without actual power.
Even so, the fight between the two dolls almost restored the entire process of that arena battle.
You come and go, and a "novice pecking each other" in a 0-ring witchcraft battle is staged in mid-air.
The wizards present, especially Wizard Paro himself, as well as those third-level wizards and some senior second-level wizards who knew about Wizard Paro's past, watched with great interest.
The battle raged and reached its climax.
The master puppet began to frequently show "highlight" moments.
At this time, explosive background music even sounded.
The master, who seemed to have the upper hand, became even more energetic.
"Get down!"
As the master puppet roared, a level 0 witchcraft hit the first pair of puppets below the knees.
With a pop, the sub-doll's knees weakened and he knelt on the ground, his head hanging down.
The master puppet proudly looked down at the kneeling slave puppet and snorted in a disdainful tone: "Lukia, that's all!"
Yes, the Paro wizard participated in the two-district competition and the first opponent he defeated was none other than Sauron. Lucia.
He did say something after defeating Sauron, but not this one.
This was modified by Link himself.
It was not only to highlight the charm of the Paro wizard, but also to make Sauron Lucia look embarrassed in public.
I can't beat you, so I can't discredit you?
It was only then that the wizards who originally had a disdainful attitude recognized the first doll with a vague face. The prototype turned out to be the young Sauron Lucia.
Only then did he face the impact of the background of the set of dolls sent by Link on the Paro wizard.
Only then did he face up to Link Grande, a mere first-year wizard apprentice.
The little guy is so brave.
This is on the road to offending the Lucia family to death, driving at full speed without any brakes!
"Very good, I like it very much!"
The Paro wizard clapped his hands, a bright smile evident on his face.
It seemed that he liked this set of dolls from the bottom of his heart. "Do you have any more? Show me another one." "
Okay."
Link agreed and recalled the first set of dolls.
After thinking about it, he skipped the ten puppets in the middle and directly sent the twelfth puppet to fight.
As soon as he appeared on the stage, he immediately caused exclamations.
The wizards who corrected their mentality immediately recognized the prototype of the twelfth doll with the same vague face.
"Interesting."
"The little guy is so brave."
"I really want to see Peter's face when he finds out."
"Hehehe..."
"Hehehehehe..."
Wizard Paro did not stop everyone from talking in low voices. Fermented by atmosphere.
Link concentrated on the task without being distracted by other things, and started the puppet battle again.
This time, background music plays from the beginning.
At first, it was a melodious and calm style, with an ethereal nature singing softly.
There is no passion in the battle between the two dolls. You take a few steps and I turn around.
You throw a water balloon and I shoot a wooden arrow.
Come and go, come and go, all testing, no fire at all.
More than a minute passed like this.
The background music suddenly burst out.
The female voice's singing became high-pitched and passionate, as if she was narrating a magnificent war recorded in an epic.
Link used part of the melody of "Victory" here.
Under the atmosphere of death or death, the battle between the two dolls entered a stage of violent collision.
Attack-type 0-level witchcraft should not be bombarded like magic.
Each is trying to suppress the other.
However, mental power and magic are limited.
The price of high output in a short period of time is the rapid consumption of mental power and magic power.
In less than a minute, the magic casting speed of the two puppets slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it seemed that they were about to return to the slow rhythm at the beginning.
Who knew that the two dolls had the same idea. Almost at the same time, another round of fierce attacks was launched.
Then both mental strength and magic power were exhausted.
Witchcraft is useless, so just fight each other at close range.
The two puppets used their bastard fists and rolled and fluttered in the air.
When the wizards present saw this, including Wizard Paro himself, they couldn't help but feel a little amused.
Is this a battle between wizard apprentices?
It's not as exciting as an ordinary knight's battle.
When the rabbit was up and the falcon was about to fall, the owner made a cool move.
Pinching the arms of the twelfth puppet with both hands, he suddenly lifted the knee of his right leg and bumped it hard.
The background music stopped abruptly.
Switching to dubbing, there was a click, crisp, yet somewhat contradictory dullness.
Minghuanghuang told everyone.
The egg is broken!
The master puppet looked scornfully at the twelfth puppet, which was covering its crotch with its hands and twisting in pain, then looked around and shouted arrogantly: "Who else?" The battle
ended.
The display also ends here.
"Okay, okay!"
Wizard Paro was amused by the last shout.
He recalled that what he shouted back then was actually "Fuck me, fight me?", which was equally arrogant but a bit vulgar.
After such a change, the arrogance remains the same, even more powerful, but the words are elegant and domineering.
"Not bad."
Wizard Paro praised repeatedly, "I like it very much, I like it very much. Link, you have worked hard." "As long as you like it."
Link
recalled the master doll and the twelfth pair of dolls, and placed the 13 dolls one by one. Put it back in the gift box and close the lid.
At the same time, he said his carefully prepared congratulations: "May you be away for half your life and come back as a young man!" The
Paro wizard was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
He quickly came back to his senses and murmured a congratulation twice that was very suitable for this set of dolls, and the smile on his face became brighter.
He patted Link on the shoulder and said softly: "Thank you for your blessings. I know your thoughts. Now go and have a rest. Come to me later and we will have a good chat." "Yes, Wizard Paro.
"
Link Obediently, he agreed to the arrangement and walked back to Wizard Serin.
He had enough limelight tonight, but he couldn't steal the spotlight.
Wizard Paro smiled and chatted with the guests for a few words, calming down the atmosphere. Then he seemed to inadvertently put the doll gift box into his space storage witchcraft, and kept it personally to avoid losing it.
Then, he started to open the gifts given by the second-level wizards.
"How do you feel?"
Wizard Serin asked quietly.
"It's like walking on thin ice, as if facing an abyss."
Link thought for a while and used a phrase he often heard in his previous life to express his mood at this time.
Uneasy, nervous, restless, afraid of something going wrong.
"Keep this mentality and don't relax."
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Wizard Serin's mouth as he reminded, "With Paro showing his importance to you in public today, there will be less hostility from other forces and other wizards in the future. A lot. However, Lionel, Rukia and their allies will be more hostile to you. This is a good thing and a bad thing. It all depends on how you deal with it. This kind of mentality is very good." Link thought for a moment after hearing this
.
He had actually been mentally prepared for it, and had a vague premonition when he first accepted funding from the Paro wizard.
The camp was established at that moment.
You will encounter friendship, but more often you will encounter hostility.
He couldn't count the number of times he sincerely thanked Wizard Serin tonight: "Thank you for your advice, I will pay more attention to it." "
Yes."
Wizard Serin responded lightly.
After opening the gifts, there is nothing special about the promotion gift.
Just like any other ceremony, it enters the stage of small talk.
Wizard Serin has his own circle and does not continue to stay in this corner.
Link remained motionless until the promotion ceremony was over. He was greeted by the Paro wizard and followed him.
"Come with me for a walk."
Wizard Paro motioned for the others not to follow, and led Link down a path toward the Boundary Lake.
Link fell one position behind and followed behind.
"Are you wondering why I value you, a little wizard apprentice, so much? Even though you have secrets and fortunes, you became a third-class wizard apprentice in less than a year.
" Wizard Luo took the initiative to speak and broke the silence.
Link replied: "Sometimes, I do think like this."
"That's right to think like this. You must be more careful and be on guard at all times, otherwise you will easily suffer losses."
Wizard Paro looked at the thick fog . Jiehu, his tone was sighing and sighing.
"The leader of my department at first was not me, but Cody. He was five years older than me, and his talent and temperament were both top-notch. However, he just trusted someone, which led to mistakes in the critical stage of promotion to sage, and he fell short. . I have no choice but to come forward and rise to the top, despite the pressure from the local pure-blood families on the West Coast and the indifference of the half-blood families." "
Forget it, I won't tell you this."
"Let's talk about why I value you so much. .”
"The reason is quite simple."
"Because your soul is very special. It should come from some other dimensional world."
At this point, Wizard Paro looked directly into Link's eyes and said word by word: "Don't Thinking that you are the most special, 'travelers' like you are not uncommon in the wizarding world!"
Link's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
He pursed his lips a few times, relied on "Occlumency" to stabilize his emotions, and finally responded calmly: "Remember your teachings."
Seeing Link's nervous look, Wizard Paro couldn't help but smile.
This little guy has a lot of evil intentions, and it's rare to see him look panicked.
He said with relief: "Don't worry, I already covered it up for you when I found out that you were promoted to the second-class wizard apprentice and specially probed to find out the abnormality in your soul. Except for me and Serin, not even Cody knows about your other identity." An identity."
Link couldn't help but let out a long breath, and stopped hiding in front of Wizard Paro, and asked directly: "How does the academy deal with a situation like mine?" "
Handle it? Why deal with it? Those old immortals in the academy Don’t they value you very much? I even gave you the original seed that was transformed from the broken world, so what are you worried about?”
Wizard Paro whispered softly: “They also hope that you will grow up quickly so that you can fight for the academy. God, we are laying down more resource worlds."
"Paro, enough is enough!"
A majestic voice suddenly came from the horizon, and it only fell into the ears of Wizard Paro and Link.
The Paro wizard raised his head and cursed angrily: "Old immortal, you are the only one allowed to do it, but not me?"
Kacha.
A thunderbolt pierced the night sky and hit the Paro wizard who was suddenly unable to move.
His hair stood on end, his complexion was dark, and his clothes were burnt.
Sage, in front of the "old immortal" in the academy, there is nothing to fight back except words!
"unlucky!"
Wizard Paro broke free from the restraints, curled his lips, and said to Link, "I'll leave first, you can go back by yourself."
After saying that, he disappeared without waiting for Link's response.
Link looked at the foggy Boundary Lake and was speechless for a long time.
The identity of the "traveler" that he had been worried about for a long time was exposed just like this, which still made it difficult for him to calm down.
The attitude of the college made him feel at ease, but at the same time, he felt a deeper fear.
well!
With a faint sigh, Link stopped thinking, left the lake and returned to the dormitory.
What is coming will come sooner or later, there is no way to avoid it.
Just as Wizard Paro and Link were walking and chatting privately.
Two short videos have been circulated in the circles of senior second-level wizards and third-level wizards.
The words "Rukia, that's all" and "Who else?"
rang out crazily throughout the Riversouth area in less than half an hour.
It is said that Peter Lionel, who was about to pass the transformation period and was preparing to hold the Sage Promotion Ceremony, directly broke through the defense and became furious.
It actually affected the transformation and delayed the promotion time.
A video and a sentence from a little wizard's apprentice are so powerful.
It made many people smile.
From the beginning, the hole that "travelers" are not scarce in the wizarding world has been laid, and it is filled today. Alas, I don’t know if this setting will be accepted.
