After coming out of the Verola Magic Tower, Link walked around the square of Bryant's revelation place as if nothing had happened, treating it like a walk.
Then, he walked back to Bell's magic tower as usual, but when he walked into the magic tower, he found that the atmosphere in the hall on the first floor was different.
The hall was unusually quiet, the usual whispers were gone, but most of the apprentices were here, what's going on
Link looked around the hall and found the reason. In the circular bookshelf area of the hall, he saw a white-haired old man in blue casual clothes.
The old man's face was full of wrinkles, and his figure was very thin. He looked at least over 70 years old. The magic fluctuations on his body were very obscure and secretive, and he didn't seem to be very powerful. Their expressions were extremely respectful.
"This old man is Bell!" Link recognized him, and this was the first time he saw this fallen magician in the magic tower.
Looking at his appearance, he is older than the image in the game, and there is a sense of weakness and weakness all over his body. The only special thing is his pair of eyes, which are dark blue, which can inadvertently reveal a breathtaking feeling. The brilliance, which shows that the old man still has powerful magic power.
His body may be old, but his magic is as sharp as ever.
Bell was surrounded by many magic apprentices. As the official magic mentor in name of everyone, he had a smile on his face and patiently answered the questions raised by the magic apprentices.
Taking advantage of this time, Link quickly returned to his room. Once in the room, Link took out the notebook that recorded the purchase list from his pocket and put it in the bedside table.
If Bell found out that he had left the magic tower with this notebook, the other party would definitely be suspicious, and that would be a big problem.
Just a minute after he put away the notebook, there was a knock on his door, and the voice of the magician Drake came from outside the door: "Link, come out, the mentor wants to see you."
Link was startled, but he returned to normal immediately, and responded loudly, "Here we are."
Opening the door, Link saw that the magic apprentices in the hall were all looking at him, with expressions of envy and jealousy, but there were exceptions. Standing beside Bell was his chief disciple Darris, a level 4 magician who was staring at him closely. Looking at Link, there was a strange look of wariness in his eyes.
This look made Link feel very strange. He remembered that he and this chief disciple didn't seem to meet each other. Why did the other party seem to have a grudge against him
He couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he simply stopped thinking about it: "Let's adapt to the situation." '
Bell was also looking at him, with a look of great interest on his old face, and when Link came up to him, he smiled kindly: "Young man, I have already read the scroll you wrote, it is indeed rare Excellent work. I am very honored to have met such a hero as you in the last days of my life. If you want, after you are promoted to become a full-fledged magician, you can stay in the magic tower as my disciple."
As soon as these words came out, Link was surprised, but the magic apprentices were 'bombed'. Now no one envied them, they all became jealous, and some even hated them.
The magician Bell is well-known. He is a respected veteran magic master in the magic world of the Norton Kingdom. Although they learned magic in his magic tower, they were not taught by Bell himself. Unexpectedly, this newcomer who just entered the tower for less than a month, It is really unacceptable to be favored by the master.
What is even more unconvincing is that if Link really got this opportunity because of his powerful magic talent, then everyone would have nothing to say, but Link's magic talent is obvious to all. The only thing that is amazing is that he can write some beautiful It's just a scroll.
However, if the mana talent is not enough, this person may be able to become an official magician, but the magic level will definitely not be high, at most level 2, so what if he can draw exquisite scrolls? The highest level can only be drawn at level 2, why does the Bell magician take a fancy to him
But everyone was dissatisfied in their hearts, but they dared not speak out, because the prestige of Magician Bell was too high. In his magic tower, he was the king, and no one dared to contradict him.
Link was also very surprised. He never expected this to happen. He raised his head and quickly glanced at Bell, but he was meeting Bell's dark blue eyes.
Link's eyes were dark and bottomless, while Bell's eyes naturally glowed with majesty. The moment the two looked at each other, their respective spiritual powers collided inadvertently.
After a moment, Link lowered his eyes and said with 'joy': "Thank you, Master."
Bell blinked his eyes subconsciously, and his brows were slightly frowned. This time he deliberately accepted the young disciple after looking at the scroll drawn by the other party.
In the eyes of ordinary magic apprentices, Link just has a superb talent for drawing scrolls, but in the eyes of Bell, he sees a strong ability to control magic, especially when he heard that the other party can draw scrolls with high intensity for many days in a row After the scroll, he thought about it even more.
Being able to draw scrolls tirelessly for many days in a row shows that the other party has a very powerful soul, and this is one of the best qualities of a magician.
It is not a problem that the opponent's current mana is low, but he is still young. Bell believes that the opponent will develop greatly in the future. In history, it is not uncommon for magicians to mature lately.
Although he is old, although he started to study black magic, his original intention was to extend his own life. He is not a bad person. Seeing such an outstanding young man, he was naturally happy and wanted to polish it.
However, Bell felt something was wrong at the exchange of glances just now. He knew that the other party's soul was very powerful, but in the faint collision before, he found that the other party's soul was so strong that he had the illusion of being suppressed.
Such a powerful soul has such a low mana talent, it doesn't make sense!
Puzzled in Bell's mind, he observed Link carefully again, but Link never showed his sharpness again. At this time, he was just a fearful magic apprentice.
"Did I read it wrong?" Bell wondered.
If it was him in the past, he would never take this doubt to heart, and he would soon forget it, because in the past he was open-minded and had no secrets that could not be seen.
But it's not working now, he has ghosts in his heart, so anything wrong will arouse his suspicion.
"It was too reckless just now, this young man, I have to check his background carefully." Because of this unreasonable suspicion, more than half of the love for talent that had just arisen in his heart has dissipated.
Bell didn't realize that although his original intention of approaching the black magic was just to prolong his life, the black magic didn't joke with him at all. At least 3 demons entered his heart, one called 'Doubt Everything' and the other called 'Exposed' Fear', one end is called 'Eternal Greed'.
Under the efforts of these three demons, the qualities of the bright world in him quickly disintegrated unknowingly.
After that, Bell seemed to have forgotten what he just said. His attitude towards Link changed drastically, and he didn't talk to him at all. He stayed in the hall for a while, and then said to Darris, his most trusted disciple, "I'm a little tired. , Let’s stop here for today. Later, you can arrange a new residence for Link on the second floor, and don’t want to live in the original room.”
"Yes, mentor." Darius replied respectfully.
After finishing speaking, Bell got up, and Darris hurriedly took a step forward, supported his body, and walked to the upper level of the Magic Tower. The two walked up the stairs until they reached the third floor where there was no one, Bell suddenly said: : "Daris, what do you think of this Link?"
"I don't know much. He used to be a very silent person, and his behavior was very ordinary. If it weren't for the military scroll order, I really didn't know that he had such a powerful talent in drawing scrolls. It is said that Drake has been in contact with him a lot, and he should know this Link better." Darius replied objectively, without seeming to have any personal emotions.
But Bell knew his disciple very well. Seeing his tone of voice, he frowned: "Why, you don't like him?"
