Advent of the Archmage

Chapter 68: Secret Guardian (Part 1)

Views:

Although Link fought a battle with the Syndicate in the Red Leaf Valley, River Valley Town has not received the news yet, and it is still peaceful and peaceful as usual.

Link and the others first went to the courtyard purchased by the mercenary team. When the three of them arrived, they saw the courtyard door was wide open from a distance. There were two soldiers in steel armor guarding the door, and three people parked beside the door. There are two carriages, one of which Link recognizes as Anne's, but he has never seen the other two.

Just as he was wondering, he saw a priest in white robes coming out from the gate of the courtyard.

Link knew this pastor. He was the patriarch of Ashiro Church, God of Dawn in the town. His name was Peter, and he was a level 3 priest.

Ashiro, the God of Dawn, is a member of the Gods of Radiance, and the motto of his belief is "at the end of the dark dawn, the first ray of light that shines on the world".

Legend has it that he is the son of the Lord of Radiance and the goddess of hunting, Ajilia, with a gentle personality, and the priests who believe in him are especially good at healing magic.

Peter looked a little tired, and the spiritual light on his body was dim. It should be that he had just released a powerful magic spell. Link settled down in his heart, with a smile on his face, and said to Yake beside him: "Princess Anne invited the priest over, look Come on, Lucy's wounds are all right."

When the three of them approached, Peter had already boarded one of the carriages and left. There was an unfamiliar carriage left outside the yard. This carriage looked very ordinary, and there was no sign on the outside of the carriage. Link was a little strange.

At this time, he had been recognized by the guard at the door, and the guard immediately saluted Link and said loudly, "Mr. Link."

His voice was not soft, and the people in the yard could easily hear him. As soon as he finished speaking, a figure rushed out. It was Annie. When she saw Link, she looked him up and down, and saw that he was not injured. Slowly, and then asked: "How is the situation?"

She also just came back not long ago, and she was planning to go to the Red Leaf Valley after she settled down with Lucy, but she didn't expect Link to come back so soon.

"The situation is not bad. Ender and his subordinates are dead. Anderson is leading the militia into the forest to search for the Syndicate's lair." Link said as he led Yake and Gridan into the yard.

Under the effect of elemental treatment, Yake's condition is much better, the injury is not serious, what is needed most is to recuperate, so Link sent him to rest, as for Gridan, he went to deal with the spoils.

Link and Annie walked towards Lucy's room. As soon as they reached the hall on the first floor, Link clearly felt an obscure magical energy coming from the direction of Lucy's room.

Feeling the magic energy is a kind of sensitivity that magicians naturally have. Link is especially sensitive. The scale of this magic energy does not seem to be large. Judging from the aura, the person in the room is definitely a magic master!

Thinking of the strange carriage outside the yard, Link asked, "Is there anyone else in the room?"

Annie smiled slightly: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you. There is indeed a guest, and I think you should be very happy to see her. As for who it is, you will know when you see her."

Link was very curious. He walked up to the second floor and gently opened the door, revealing the situation in the room.

Because of sufficient funds, the flamingo mercenary team bought a large yard, and the buildings in it are also very good. It is a structure of earth and stone mixed with giant trees, and there are two floors, and Lucy's room is on the second floor facing the sun. On one side, the room is spacious, and there is also a screen inside that divides the room into a bedroom and an outer hall.

After entering the room, Link couldn't see the bedroom. In the outer hall, he saw a woman with long blond hair and an exquisite face. She was wearing a blue and silver-patterned magic robe with an indescribable elegance. The light in the outer hall was a bit dim, but this woman seemed to be covered with a faint light, making people feel no sense of gloom in the room.

When Link saw him, the woman was sitting at the table, flipping through a roll of parchment, and when she heard the movement, she raised her head and saw that Link was about to speak, she smiled and said softly: "Shh, Lucy Just fell asleep."

Link immediately lowered his volume and asked, "Are you?"

Judging from the aura of magic, he knew that this female mage was not simple, and that the other party's magic cultivation should far surpass his. It looks familiar.

The woman stood up, walked to the door and said, "Lucy is fine, she needs to recuperate most now. Let's talk in the lobby on the first floor."

Of course, Link had no objection, and the three of them went to the lobby on the first floor. In the lobby, the woman introduced herself, "My name is Moira, so you must know my name."

Of course Link has heard of it. Ellette's magic instructor is called Moira. Although the two have never met, they have written several times through letters, and the other party has helped him answer many magic questions.

"Thank you very much for your patience in teaching." Link hurriedly got up and saluted Moira. To be honest, those answers really helped him a lot, and saved him a lot of detours in the process of learning magic.

Moira smiled even more, stretched out her hand to let Link sit down again, and then pushed the parchment in her hand. Link took a look and recognized that this was the law of universal gravitation he had sorted out earlier, but he was a little confused Moira's intentions.

"Do the stars in the sky really work like this?" Jasmine asked. When discussing such serious academic issues, she looked serious and focused.

Link's heart was lifted, and he also concentrated his mind. He nodded and was extremely confident: "I have consulted the observation data of the observer Tyrek for fifty years, and finally came to the conclusion that if God is really in the starry sky for If each star delineates a running route, then its route planning map can only be the law of gravity that I have summed up."

The starry sky is mysterious and deep, and there are people in every world who are attracted to it. Tyrek is one of the best. He was a scholar three hundred years ago, and his life's work was to observe the starry sky. In his later years, he wrote a book called "Dream of the Stars". Although the name is a bit literary, it is a serious academic book, in which it records the celestial movement diagram recorded by Tyregu's fifty-year observations.

In Ferroman's world, Tyrek's research is not valued very much, but because his observations are detailed and accurate, and his writing is quite good, so this "Dream of the Stars" has been widely circulated and can be bought in Hegu Town. Link bought a copy, which cost him 5 silver coins. This book helped him a lot when he was writing his thesis.

A look of surprise flashed in Moira's eyes, but she quickly concealed her emotions and continued: "But I can see that it is far from perfect."

She doesn't seem to be very interested in the starry sky, which is normal, the stars in the sky are too far away, and have little to do with magic.

Link nodded and said: "Indeed, it only summarizes some superficial phenomena, but why this is so and where the root cause is, it is difficult to explain."

"I heard from Ellette that you still have some unfinished speculations in your hands, can you show me?" Moira said, looking directly at the fine gold chain of the pendant on Link's neck.

"My manuscript is... well." Link wanted to say that his manuscript was in the attic of the hotel in Hegu Town, but the other party's eyes told him that he could not hide from this powerful magician that he possessed a space magic weapon, so, Under Annie's surprised gaze, he took out the rest of the thesis from the space pendant.

Fortunately, there are no outsiders here. As a princess, Anne will not covet him for a space pendant, let alone Moira.

Moira was not surprised at all. She took the parchment and looked at it like no one else was there. It took more than an hour to look at it.

After more than an hour, she put down the parchment and let out a sigh of relief: "This thing is enough to make any magic academy on the mainland open the door to you."

Link was overjoyed when he heard that: "You mean, I can enter East Valley Academy of Magic?"

Moira nodded: "Actually, before I came, this paper on the law of gravity had been circulated by all the magic instructors in the academy, and Dean Anthony personally nodded and agreed to your admission, but considering your low magical talent, it is inevitable that other The apprentice's heart is unbalanced, and your tuition fee will be as high as 2000 gold coins... I think you should be able to afford this expenditure, right?"

Upon hearing this, Annie became displeased: "Why is it so expensive? It's not fair!"

"Actually, that's what Dean Anthony meant." Moira spread her hands, her face full of helplessness.

As soon as Annie heard that it was Anthony's decision, Annie immediately fell silent. He was a level 7 great magician, and his status in the kingdom was extremely high. Even his father couldn't change what he decided. Forget it, the big deal is the money. Just come out, isn't it just 2000 gold coins, the money she has saved over the years is almost the same amount.

Link has no objection to this. He has long been eager to enter the Academy of Magic. Now that he has the qualifications for admission, why would he be troubled by some gold coins

"I agree." Link nodded.

However, he felt a little strange in his heart. His upper limit of mana was already as high as 148 points. Although he didn't have much mana in his body, as a level 5 magician, Moira couldn't fail to see it.

He is only 17 years old, and he has the magic power equivalent to a level 2 magician, and the Greenstone incident even showed a level 2 magic, and even used a level 4 Pyroblast. Those who are interested in these things only need to check Just know, how can the other party think that his magic talent is low

Just in a strange moment, Link heard Moira say to Annie: "Your Highness, then I will go back first. Link, please take me to the entrance of the town. Along the way, I will tell you about the details of the Academy of Magic." Learn the rules."

This reason is very legitimate. Annie didn't have any doubts, and Link didn't find it too strange, so he nodded and said, "Of course."

He escorted Moira out of the yard to the carriage outside the door, and Moira beckoned him into the carriage.

After getting into the carriage, Moira suddenly snapped her fingers, and Link immediately felt the carriage quiet down. The sounds of people outside the carriage, the sound of horseshoes, and the vibration of the wheels all disappeared.

Link shuddered, knowing that this was the effect of the Silence Barrier, which meant that Moira had something important to tell him.

He resisted not asking, waiting for the other party to speak.

After waiting for a full minute, Moira laughed: "Young man, you are very calm, not bad. I think you should be very strange now. I will say that your magic talent is low?"

"Indeed, you can see through my space magic weapon at a glance, it is impossible not to see this obvious thing." Link said.

"Because you will become the basic apprentice of the magician Bell, and only you with low talent can not be taken seriously by him, and you can approach him silently." Moira suddenly said amazing words.

Link was shocked, and looked at Moira in disbelief. He had long felt that this woman was not simple, but he didn't expect it to be this level.

In the previous game, the level 6 great magician Bell was a traitor of the Magic Academy. He secretly studied black magic, which eventually led to a catastrophic magical accident. From what Moira said, it showed that she had already doubted Bell.

"I don't understand." Link couldn't figure it out. He couldn't figure out why the other party chose him, couldn't figure out why the other party trusted him, and couldn't figure out why she could see through Bell.

You know, the great magician Anthony doesn't have this ability. In the previous game, when Bell tried to summon the demon, the matter was finally exposed. Before that, no one knew Bell's hidden secret.

With this insight, why was the membership in the game in the previous life unnamed? Who the hell is this Moira

Moira saw Link's doubts, and she smiled slightly: "Because I am not a pure human being, but the hidden guardian of the glorious world—an angel of light!"

"!!!" Link's eyes widened.
