Gwent Forest seems to be always sunny, and the gentle sunlight is like a mother's hand, gently touching all the life in the forest.
After spending a period of intrigue in the Bell Tower of Magic, and returning to the glorious Gwent Forest again, Link was in a very comfortable mood, seeing everything pleasing to the eye, even the few suspected robbers he met on the road, Link also kindly didn't meddle in his own business.
More than an hour later, the carriage drove Link back to Hegu Town.
The town is as usual, peaceful and lively. There are still people drinking mad at the entrance of the hotel in Hegu Town. At the very corner of the town, Link saw the courtyard of the Flamingo Mercenary Team.
The yard has undergone some changes, the area has expanded a lot, and there are many wooden houses beside it. A large yard surrounded by wooden fences appeared in the forest behind the yard.
It looked more lively than before. People came in and out from time to time, and they were all unfamiliar faces. There was a flag hanging by the door, which showed a flying flamingo.
During these days, Lucy often wrote to him to introduce the situation. Link knew that during this period of time, the Flamingos had been recruiting and buying horses. They had accepted more than 20 new members in a month. They could no longer be called the mercenary team. A small mercenary group.
The carriage stopped at the door, and the people at the door looked curiously at the carriage marked East Valley School of Magic, wanting to see the appearance of the master mage coming out of the carriage.
Link opened the door and walked out. He has grown a little taller and has a much stronger figure during this time. He doesn't look as frail as before. He is wearing a brand-new cloth robe with a unique style and holds a magic wand in his hand. Kind of like a magician.
The movement at the door had already alarmed the mercenary group. As soon as Link got out of the carriage, Lucy and Gridan appeared at the door.
"Why did you come back suddenly?" Lucy was a little surprised. She looked Link up and down, and then she felt relieved. It seemed that life in the Magic Academy was very good.
"Come back and see, um, is this pretty little girl a new member?" Link walked into the yard, and at a glance, he saw a pretty girl of fifteen or sixteen years old practicing archery by a wooden stake beside the yard. .
There's no other way, in the middle of a group of rough faces, a young girl with moist skin and delicate face suddenly appears, it's impossible to be inconspicuous.
Of course, the girl's archery looks very ordinary, but she looks really watery, just like a budding flower, and there is a trace of stubbornness on her face that seems to be able to pinch water. She is very focused on practicing.
Gridan laughed and said, "Let me just say, my lord will definitely see our little Love at the first sight when he comes back."
Then he smiled and introduced to Link: "Love, from the Southern Liberty League, was brought by slave traders to be sold to Hot Springs. Lucy looked soft-hearted and bought her. Hiss~ you don't know , This chick spent a full 100 gold coins, which is really expensive."
The more Gridan talked, the more his flesh ached. If it wasn't for the fact that this little girl was really beautiful, at least she could be eye-catching. He would never agree to buy it. They are not priests who save the world, they are mercenaries who work hard to make money.
Lucy was a little embarrassed. After all, 100 gold coins was not a small amount. She looked at Link with some anxiety, for fear that he would blame her for spending money indiscriminately.
At that time, after she saw the pitiful and confused eyes of this little girl in the market, she didn't think about anything, the only thought in her mind was to save her.
In this little girl, she seems to have seen the wandering self back then. She is sure that if she doesn't intervene, this little girl will eventually go to the mansion of a nobleman in Hot Spring City and become his confinement. Maybe she will be favored for a while , but she has no strength, and her fate will be as weak as paper. Once the noble lord gets tired, or his wife becomes mad with jealousy, then this little girl is very likely to die young.
She herself had experienced similar days, so she didn't want to see this girl go through the same misery as her, and she happened to be able to save her, so she insisted on buying the girl regardless of Gridan and Yake's obstruction.
Until now, she still has no regrets.
Unexpectedly, the smile on Link's face became more and more intense. Regardless of other people's eyes, he walked up to the water spirit girl and circled around the girl. His pair of black eyes sized her up and down, and his gaze looked extremely aggressive. , did not avoid some sensitive parts of the girl's body.
Seeing Link like this, Gridan couldn't help touching his nose, and whispered to Lucy: "Well, my lord has finally enlightened."
Ever since he met Link, he never seemed to see a woman in his eyes. Even for Lucy, who was hot and good-looking, he never took a second look, and he didn't seem to have any interest in women.
But now it seems that it's not that adults are not interested in female sex, it's just that they haven't found the right person. This Love seems to be the right person.
Lucy felt a little inexplicably sour in her heart, and she gave Gridan a white look: "Shut your stinky mouth!"
On this side, Love is also very nervous, she is not stupid, she naturally knows that Link is a magician, and judging from the awe attitude of the people around Link, this magician should be the legendary Hooligan mercenary group Head!
She had already stopped practicing arrows, her small white hands were tightly holding the delicate wooden bow, her little head was lowered, not daring to meet Link's gaze.
At this time, she was like a frightened and confused deer, waiting helplessly for the judgment of fate.
Here, after Link looked at it for a full minute, he finally stopped looking at it with his eyes, but started to do it.
He stretched out his hand, first touched Love's forehead, then his arm, then his back, not only touched, but also pinched, and finally even pinched his buttocks and legs.
This action may seem obscene, but Link has a serious face, and the situation is extremely weird.
Gridan was also dumbfounded, and whispered: "Your Excellency, something is wrong today, is it because there are no women in the Magic Academy, and it's suffocating him?"
Lucy glared at Gridan fiercely: "My lord is not this kind of person, he must have discovered something! I always said that Love is something special, but you just don't believe it."
In fact, this is one of the reasons why Lucy insisted on buying Love.
On this side, Love was about to cry. She stood there and didn't dare to move. She felt as if there was something in the opponent's hand. When she touched any part of her body, something got into it. This made her feel a little uncomfortable. But he didn't dare to move.
Finally, Link withdrew his 'salty pig's hand', nodded seriously, and said to Lucy: "Lucy, this little girl is worth buying, she has a good talent for magic."
"..." Gridan's eyes widened, isn't it, magic talent is very scarce, why can Lucy just buy one if she just buys it
But after thinking about it, Gridan felt relieved again: "There must be something special about being able to look so juicy, and it's still Lucy's poisonous eyes!"
Lucy was overjoyed: "Really? I just felt that she was a little special."
Buying a beautiful girl with 100 gold coins is really extravagant, but if you buy a mage seedling, it is a big profit.
Link nodded. Lucy herself has some magical talents, and this time she made a contribution again.
Originally, Link intended to teach Lucy magic, but Lucy is 28 years old and has no interest in difficult and boring magic theories, so he can only give up, but now comes Love, who looks only 15 years old, But it is the golden age of learning magic, and the talent is several times better than Lucy, which is really wonderful.
When he saw Love for the first time just now, the other person's outstanding appearance didn't affect him in any way. What surprised him was the woman's natural attraction to water elements. By her side, the water element was at least 50% stronger than other places. %.
Afterwards, his hands did not fumble randomly, but used mana to detect the elemental nodes in the opponent's body. After this detection, he discovered that Love's body naturally had a core of water element flow, and each core contained a trace of natural energy. The magic energy that appeared.
This is a very good water magic talent. If this little girl has the conditions to learn magic, she will definitely become a very good water magician.
Everyone has a love of talent. When there is a piece of good material in front of him, any craftsman will be itchy to carve it. Moreover, as his strength continues to grow and he encounters more and more opponents, Link has become a clone of himself. Lack of skills, he already has plans in his heart to cultivate his own strength.
Therefore, he suddenly became interested in accepting disciples.
"This should be my chief disciple, haha." Link was very happy.
At this moment, another carriage from the East Valley School of Magic arrived at Hegu Town. The difference was that this carriage stopped outside the town, and a young magician came down from it, which was Darris.
"You go back." Darius sent the coachman away.
Then, he released an illusion technique on himself, pretending to be an ordinary traveler. He walked to Hegu Town, grabbed a passerby at random and asked, "Hey, I want to find Link, the magician. Do you know where he is?"
He has investigated, and this kid Link has done several important things, so everyone in Hegu Town knows him.
"have no idea."
"Didn't he go to the Magic Academy?"
"Oh, what a coincidence that you came here. He just came back from the academy and is now at the flamingo mercenary group."
When the third person was asked, Darius got Link's position.
"Thank you very much." Darius nodded.
He didn't go to the mercenary group's station, because he had investigated the other party and knew that there were no big figures in the mercenary group, and it was impossible for Link's behind-the-scenes instigator to be there.
What's more, he won't start a war with the other party in Hegu Town, that would have too much impact, and if the academy pursues him, he won't be able to explain his motives.
"I'll just wait for you to go back to the academy." Darius thought so, turned around and left River Valley Town, and walked along the King's Road for about five miles, and then he hid in the dense bushes by the side of the road.
His plan is simple, capture the opponent alive, interrogate the mastermind behind the scenes, and then think about the next step.
Of course, that kid will resist, but he is only a second-level magician, and he will tell him with facts what level suppression is.
