Advent of the Archmage

Chapter 181: The last calm before the storm

Views:

The thorn of the sky, the pool of the sky.

There weren't too many creative structural changes to the magic improvements this time around, so the whole process went pretty smoothly.

In less than an hour and a half, Link successfully completed the improvement of high-speed casting.

Now, he is taking his final test.

"Hand of Vulcan!"

With a thought, the soul inscription shook, and a magic structure of Vulcan's hand emerged on the magic circle console. The moment the magic structure was completed, before the fire elements gathered, Link immediately canceled it.

The moment it was canceled, the new version of the Super Magic Skill Machine Gun took effect.

The magic can start to resonate!

There was a slight flash of white light on the console, and a moment later, the magic structure of the 6th-level magic Titan's Hand appeared, followed by the fire element roaring to build a miniature version of the Titan's Hand.

Link tested the various movements of the resonating Titan's Hand. He tried more than 200 movements in total, and all of them were successfully completed, just like the original Titan's Hand.

"It's done." Link showed a smile on his face. After many experiments, he still has less than 200 mana left in his body. If he hadn't drank a bottle of potion before, he would have to worry about running out of mana now. problem

At the same time as he canceled the Titan's Hand, a light began to flicker in the field of vision. After observing it, it was a reward from the game system.

"The player breaks through the speed limit of level 6 magic and gets 50 free points."

"The player creates a super magic skill: different magic resonance, and gets 20 free points."

In one click, there were 70 more free points, and with Link's 150 mana points, Link's free points reached 220 points again.

Link never thinks too many free points. He smiled and asked, "Since you broke the record, you must have recorded the casting time just now. How much is it?"

"0.65 seconds, it is estimated that there is still 0.1 seconds of improvement potential."

This speed is about the same. Even against level 6 fighters, Link has enough advantages. Link is very satisfied. As for the improvement potential of 0.1 seconds, he just needs to practice more.

After the experiment was completed, I looked at the time. It was just 11:30 in the morning. Link had been busy all morning and was hungry. He left the Sky Pool and was ready to have lunch.

When I arrived at the hall on the first floor of the magic tower, I saw the servants serving the food on the table. Selas and the dean's disciples were already sitting on the table and preparing to eat.

When Silas saw Link, he greeted him: "Link, let's go together?"

Link is not polite either. It is not the first time he has eaten at the Dean's Magic Tower. He walked over to say hello to a few magicians, and then sat down at the dining table. The servants immediately greeted him. A set of cutlery.

"Link, why are you so busy recently that you don't even have time to trim your beard and hair?" A level 5 magician named Evan laughed.

He didn't say that Link hadn't noticed yet. With such a reminder, Link took out a water mirror and looked at it, and saw a bearded guy reflected in the mirror. When he looked at it suddenly, he was ten years older.

Link made a haha with some embarrassment: "Forget it, I'll go to the barber shop later, haha."

Silas said, "You can cut your hair, but don't shave your beard. You are too young, and you have to use the hairs around your mouth to support the scene. Otherwise, people will not believe you when they see you as a brat. s level."

When the magicians next to them heard this, they all nodded in agreement. Link was a little embarrassed to be teased by these guys, hey a few times, and seeing that the bread had been served, he hurriedly said: "I'm hungry, let's eat first." gone."

When several magicians saw his appearance, they all found it funny and laughed.

During the meal, the few people did not talk about magic, but talked about their past experiences. These people are all disciples of the dean. They are in their prime, and the oldest is only 41 years old. Except for Seras, their magic levels are all above level 4.

They are all people who have traveled far and wide, and have seen the world, and they are also very famous in the Glorious World, and they are the elites of the human race.

Listening to these elites talking about things, Link also gained a lot of knowledge.

At this time, Evan suddenly said: "Have you heard, it is said that the Southern Federation of Magicians found traces of high-level demons in the capital of the Kingdom of Leo."

"Really?" Seras was a little unconvinced. This is a high-level demon, a terrifying alien creature that can make earth-shattering movements if you are not careful.

Link's heart moved, and his ears were stunned. He felt a little strange. Logically speaking, the High Demon shouldn't appear in this time period, and if it did appear, it should also appear in the Norton Kingdom. Why did he go to the south

Evan told it as an anecdote, and laughed at this time: "Whether it is true or not, the headache is not ours. It is said that there are more than one, at least three, and one of them is quite beautiful. Vivier in the south you know?"

"Of course I know, the big baby of the Union of Magicians." Another magician named Arthur answered, this is a magician at the peak of level 4.

"Let me tell you, it is rumored that Vivier fell into lovesickness after seeing the demon side. He couldn't sleep well, and couldn't eat. He lost a lot of weight, and the hair of the chairman of the federation turned gray. Dozens of them." Evan showed a teasing expression on his face.

Arthur burst into laughter immediately: "Tsk tsk, you can still fall in love with demons. This Vivier is indeed a once-in-a-century genius, and he even has such a unique taste."

Several other magicians also laughed, and only listened to this as an anecdote. Only Link, who seemed to be lowering his head to deal with the things on the plate, but his face was lost in thought.

"The high-ranking demon, beautiful, fascinates Wevill, can't it be Celine?" Link knew that it was probably Celine, and the other two high-ranking demons should be the pursuers sent by her father.

Hearing the news that Vivier didn't think about food and drink for Celine, Link was very upset, and the news of the devil's pursuit made Link feel worried. He really wanted to go to the south to find Celine now.

But the East Valley School of Magic is still under the shadow of the demon Taluvis. If this problem is not resolved, and he can't leave, Link is full of entanglements.

Afterwards, Evan and the others chatted about other things, but Link was in no mood to listen. After eating in a hurry, he bid farewell to the few people and left the thorn in the sky alone.

Just after eating, the sun was shining brightly again, and the problem of the casting speed of Hand of Titans was solved. Link was in a relaxed mood overall, so he took a walk in the academy for ten minutes. Russ and others made fun of him, thinking that Celine must not like his slovenly appearance either.

He went in and had his hair cut. As for the short beard, Link trimmed it, but he didn't manage to clean it up, which made him look a bit old-fashioned, and he looked like he should be 23 or 4 years old.

Walking out of the barber shop, Link was refreshed and prepared to go back to the Magic Tower to continue studying the magic book.

Unexpectedly, on the way, they met Verola. Verola was holding Love in her hand. The two were walking towards Bryant's Enlightenment Square. It seemed that they were going to take a walk in the afternoon to enjoy the spring.

When the two girls saw Link, Love called out to her mentor in a sweet voice, and Verola saw through Link's thoughts at a glance, and persuaded her: "I've been busy for so many days, and it's rare that the weather is so good, let's go to the square together let's go?"

From Verola's point of view, after a cold winter, when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, she has been studying magic all the time, which is really disappointing this bright world.

Link thought for a while, and felt that he should really relax, so he nodded in agreement, turned around and followed the two women to Bryant Enlightenment Square.

When they reached the periphery of the square, the goose-yellow catkins rushed towards them, and the fragrance of the plants and trees became rich. Love rushed out like a butterfly, while Link and Verola walked slowly behind, chatting casually.

While chatting, Verola suddenly asked: "The instructor told me that you have mastered level 6 magic, is it true?"

"Well, it's the fist of Philomoz. I changed the structure a little bit." Link nodded and admitted that there was nothing to hide, and it couldn't be hidden.

Verola heard this, and sighed: "In terms of magic, I can't give you more guidance. A level 6 official magician should not be nested in my little magic tower. What specific plans do you have for the future?" plan?"

Link has been thinking about this issue. As the level continues to increase, magic becomes more and more difficult. Although East Valley Magic Academy has a large collection of magic books, Link still feels the lack of books.

He can no longer find answers to many magical questions from books as easily as before, and he has to practice and think by himself.

It's time to graduate from this high school of magic.

After thinking for a while, he said: "The bandits and bandits in my territory have almost been cleaned up. After April 15th, I will focus on building the territory."

There is one more thing he didn't say. When the affairs of the territory are on the right track, he will go to the south. He must find Celine.

Building a territory was the expected answer, and Verola was not surprised: "Well, that's not bad. Field Wilderness is not too far from East Valley College. If you have any problems, send someone to send a letter and I will try my best to help."

"Thank you, mentor." Link said sincerely. Since he learned magic, Verola has given him great help. He can be promoted to level 6 so quickly, which is inseparable from Verola's undisguised guidance.

"Hehe, this is what I should do." Verola squinted and smiled.

At this time, Love's crisp laughter came from the front, but a magic apprentice gave her a simple magic kite, and she was having fun.

Looking at the distance, many magic apprentices also brought toys, some were kites, some were golems, some were magic pets, and those older formal magicians were either walking on the sidelines or standing far away to watch the fun, everyone With relaxed smiles on their faces, they are all enjoying the beautiful scenery of early spring.

Link was also watching. At first, he had a smile on his face, but as he watched, the happy scene in front of him suddenly disappeared, and another scene appeared in his eyes.

What I experienced in the previous game at that time, at that time, Bryant’s Apocalypse Square in front of me became a huge pothole, not far away, the towering magic tower was only left with ruins, trees were pushed down, flowers were trampled, and ink On the green and smoky ground lay the corpses of magicians in disorder. The corpse of Anthony, the dean of the East Valley School of Magic, was the most tragic. On the ruins, the eye sockets that had been burned into two black holes by the fire of his own soul.

The corpse of the last dean of East Valley College just watched the ruins of the college silently.

The scene is full of pathos and despair.

This accident ruined this profound academy of magic, and the national power of the Norton kingdom was greatly weakened, and it never recovered until it collapsed.

"In this life, will this happen again?" Link couldn't help asking himself.

He didn't know that the game system's task of investigating the inside story of the Black Moon Project hadn't disappeared, and it still showed an incomplete status, which meant that the Black Moon Project was still going on secretly.

"If the demon Taluvis really appears, how should I deal with it? Yes, I have to lure him away from the East Valley School of Magic first, and then find a chance to kill him. Will it succeed? I don't know, just try my best."

Just when Link was lost in thought, Verola's voice suddenly came to his ears: "Link, Link, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah?" Link came back to his senses, seeing a trace of worry on Verola's flawless face under the sun, he shook his head and said, "Suddenly remembered the matter of the demon Taluvis , I was thinking what if..."

"There is no chance!" Verola frowned, and she immediately shook her head in denial: "The college has entered the highest level of security. Even if Taluvis does break the seal, we have countermeasures."

Link nodded, feeling at ease. He has changed a lot in this life, and he is not fighting alone. He also has the prophet Baishi, so there is really no need to worry too much.

At this time, Love ran back again, and said with a smile: "Mentor, Aunt Verola, come with me quickly, the golden orchids over there are also blooming, and the flowers are so beautiful."

Golden orchid, a precious flower species, is gorgeous and dignified. It is known as the national flower of Norton Kingdom.

Seeing that Love was having a good time, Link and Verola felt much better. Both of them let go of their worries and followed the little girl with a smile.

This is the last quiet time, and when people in the future look at the past historical archives of East Valley Academy of Magic, they will see such a passage.

'March 18, 1057 in the sacred calendar, this day is defined as the day of the first official confrontation between the light and dark world, known as the 'Battle of Spring Night' in history.

During the day, the entire academy was peaceful and happy. No one knew that this was the last calm before the storm. Except for a few high-level people in the academy, almost no one knew that the academy was facing a catastrophe at any time.

On this night, a storm swept through, many young magicians died meaninglessly in their sleep, and many magic towers were destroyed.

It was on this day that the magician Link Molini showed his unparalleled magic for the first time. After this battle, he officially stepped onto the stage of the War of Light and Darkness and opened his epic chapter. '—Sorcerer Thuras Mormont, Historical Archivist, Eastvale High School of Magic.
