in the room.
Link started from arriving in River Valley Town, to cooperating with the flamingo mercenary team due to lack of money, and finally wiped out the Dark Brotherhood, killed the demonized Werther, and obtained the demonized rune. There is no concealment in the process.
After finishing speaking, Link pointed to the magic rune and said: "This rune is almost indestructible. It is a devil's holy artifact, and it must contain a lot of incredible devil knowledge. My initial idea was to study it secretly, hoping to be able to Get the power in it, but the facts tell me that I was too naive back then."
Verola was full of joy in her heart, she shook her head and said, "I can't blame you. Curiosity is a quality that any magician possesses, and it is also the greatest motivation for a magician to move forward. It is very wise that you can control your curiosity." !"
She circled around the magic rune, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter: "It's a very evil breath, this matter is very serious, I must report it to the dean. Link, you have to be there too."
"Of course." Link nodded.
Verola took out a magic-blocking wooden box, put the magic runes in it, and then took Link out of the magic tower, walking all the way to the 'Sky of the Sky' where Anthony was.
This time there was no accident. The two saw this level 7 great magician in the alchemy room of the magic tower. He was carefully cleaning an exquisite potion bottle.
"What's the matter, Mo Ni?" Seeing his disciple, Anthony was obviously in a good mood, and the sharp lines on his majestic face softened a lot.
There was no one else in the alchemy room, so Verola closed the door, then took out the wooden box, opened it, and placed it on the alchemy table.
Anthony took a look and was stunned.
He put down the enchanted crystal bottle in his hand, walked quickly to the alchemy table, picked up the wooden box, and carefully looked at the enchanted runes contained in the box.
His expression was shocked at first, then contemplative, and slowly, a trace of obsession appeared in his eyes, which lasted for a long time, and his expression suddenly shook, and he woke up.
After closing the lid of the wooden box heavily, Anthony let out a long breath, and his whole body looked much older, as if this action exhausted all his strength.
After a while, Anthony put the wooden box back on the alchemy table, and it was obvious that he was still a little bit reluctant.
Only then did he speak: "This dark rune stone contains endless magical knowledge. It is very evil and very tempting. Mo Ni, please put it away."
Verola looked a little startled at the side, she hurriedly took a step back to get the wooden box, put it into her space bracelet, and then said: "Teacher, are you alright?"
"It's okay." Anthony took a few deep breaths and calmed down: "Where did it come from?"
Verola glanced at Link, Link nodded to her, and Verola told the process of Link obtaining the magic rune.
Anthony listened carefully, and when Verola finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Link, a little puzzled: "Why did you suddenly think of handing it over? If you study it secretly, I'm afraid no one will know about it."
During the questioning, the highly respected dean carefully examined Link, with a hint of vigilance and a hint of doubt in his eyes.
What he was wary of was Link's previous hidden actions, and what he wondered was why Link made such a choice.
The magic knowledge contained in this dark rune stone is enough to drive any magician crazy. Even if he is facing this rune stone alone, he might secretly hide it like Link at this moment. Then secretly research.
It is precisely because he has personally experienced the temptation of the rune stone that Anthony cannot understand Link's actions.
Link, a young man, he has been observing recently, and knows that this person is extremely obsessed with magic, even more than him. The temptation of rune stones to him should be greater than him.
Link first saluted the dean, then stood up straight, and said calmly: "Dean, the fall of Master Bell has awakened me."
"Oh?" Anthony still didn't believe it, but he couldn't see a trace of hypocrisy from Link's expression.
Link continued: "Don't look down at the abyss, because the abyss will look back at you. Don't get close to the darkness, because the darkness will pollute your soul. Your Excellency, I am a mortal, and I don't think my willpower can resist the gaze of the abyss. In fact, I am still very interested in the knowledge contained in this enchanted rune, but... I dare not."
He dare not!
These three words contain the wisest humility.
In front of you is the golden mountain that radiates ten thousand feet of light, but there is an abyss at the foot of the golden mountain. I don’t know how many people only see the brilliance of the golden mountain, but ignore the darkness of the abyss, and they fall to pieces.
Hearing these words, Anthony remained silent for a long time. He looked directly into Link's eyes, and what he saw was a pair of deep and clear black eyes mixed with childlike innocence and wisdom.
Verola didn't speak, she was also thinking about Link's words, she found that she still underestimated this young man. He is not without flaws, and he is not perfect, but he has been carving and improving himself with the chisel of wisdom.
God's chosen people have never been reckless with only strength.
For a while, the alchemy room became very quiet.
After a long time, a deep voice sounded, it was Anthony, and he was laughing: "What a 'I dare not', yes, I dare not, to be honest, I can't resist its temptation alone, once you leave, when I When you hold it alone, you will inevitably explore the dark secrets of the rune. Well, let us face this rune together."
Anthony straightened his body: "Moni, you have always been blessed by the radiance, and I probably know your origin. Among the three of us, only you can completely resist the evil power of this rune, so you keep it!"
"Yes, mentor." Verola nodded heavily.
"Don't be too busy to relax. The sun also sets when it sets, and the brilliance may not last forever. Anything may happen in the future. I, Link will always watch you, and you will always watch me. No matter what reason I have, you must Resolutely refuse to let me touch this evil rune stone! Link, you are the same!"
In the end, Anthony was already stern, which showed his fear of this rune stone.
Mortals, when are you most vulnerable? When alone!
Being alone, without any surveillance or restraint, he can do anything, so Anthony didn't dare to hold the rune stone alone, he chose the mode of three people restraining each other.
This is the safest way.
Link had one last doubt. He said, "Your Excellency, but why me? I think it might be better for the masters in the council to co-supervise it."
Although he can be regarded as a level 4 magician, he may be quite good in magic combat power, but in terms of understanding of magic, he is far behind those magic masters, and he can't stand on the stage at all. He thinks that he is qualified to supervise this magic rune together with the dean and Verola.
Anthony smiled: "Young man, don't belittle yourself. It's not appropriate for more people to know about the existence of this rune stone. Moreover, those old bones in the council are not as easy to talk to as I am. Maybe they will expel you from the academy. "
Seeing that Verola on the side seemed dissatisfied, Anthony raised his hand to stop, and he continued: "I know this is absurd, but it is reality. Those masters are all old, and they only have old rules in their eyes."
After speaking, Anthony suddenly took out his wand.
This magic wand has a great background. It is called 'Principal's Judgment'. It is a sacred artifact inherited by the past presidents. Its shape is somewhat similar to a king's scepter, but it looks more delicate. The body of the wand is said to be a gift from the world. Made of tree branches, the gem at the end of the staff is the heart of Zallo, the highest mountain in the Rocky Mountains. It is colorful, and the most gorgeous gems in the world are eclipsed by it.
Link looked over, and information appeared in his vision.
"The dean's verdict, the staff of the guardian."

(Note: The cane of the legendary magician Bryant, formerly known as: Fiona's Embrace)
Tsk tsk, this attribute is really amazing!
After Anthony took out his wand, he pointed at the void beside him, and saw a small dark hole in the air. Anthony reached in and fumbled for a while, then took out a beautifully decorated notebook.
"Young man, this is my gift." He handed the notebook to Link.
Verola exclaimed softly: "Teacher, this is your whole life's hard work."
Anthony smiled: "It's my painstaking effort, so I have to choose the successor carefully, Mo Ni, don't tell your seniors, otherwise they will all turn into red-eyed rabbits."
He turned to look at Link: "It records my experience since learning magic. I originally wanted to leave it to Mo Ni after my death, but now it's cheaper for you. Oh, you can give it to Mo Ni after you read it. "
Link's heart skipped a beat with the lifetime experience of a level 7 magic master. At this stage, this notebook is worth far more to him than magic runes. It seems that he made the right choice.
He took the notebook carefully, and said seriously: "I will not let you down, Your Excellency the Dean."
"I believe you." Anthony nodded, and then he suddenly nodded his head with the wand in his hand, as if thinking of something: "Oh, by the way, young man, I have heard about your background, you are a nobleman, interested Want to win a title on the battlefield?"
Anthony's thinking jumped a bit, and Link couldn't keep up: "Me, the battlefield?"
"Yes, on the battlefield, the kingdom's army has gone north, but there is a shortage of truly experienced battle magicians. If you are interested, I can recommend you to join the army as the deputy commander of the legion magic. Of course, this is not urgent. The army has really reached the north. environment, prepare everything, and there is still a lot of time. You still have about two months to think about this matter."
Link really had to seriously consider this matter, and he said: "Since there is still such a long time, then I will settle down and learn magic first."
"Go, young man." Anthony smiled kindly, and Verola was amazed to see it. Over the years, the smiles she saw on the face of the mentor were not as many as today.
Walking out of the thorn in the sky, Link said to Verola: "I still can't let go of the matter of Filidia, I have a feeling that this dark elf has great plans, so I decided to go to River Valley Town. "
"Alright, be careful on the road, if there is any emergency, don't rush to do it, use this to contact me." Verola instructed, and at the same time, she handed a glowing light cluster to Link.
Link took a closer look, but it was a pure white feather. Celine had also given him a similar feather, so Link was not surprised. After taking the feather, he carefully put it away.
"I understand." Link nodded, and instead of going back to the Magic Tower, he turned directly to the academy's stables.
