Chapter 552 535 [Girls Doubts]
"Ah..." Talisa woke up and found that everyone was staring at her. She suddenly became confused and said incoherently: "It's nothing, I...I'm a little uncomfortable."
Angma turned to the apprentice waiting aside and said, "Okay, Valtoy, you go first."
Valtoi nodded and went on stage, saluted deeply at Ronin, and then began a spell duel. Whether it was the preparatory posture of casting or the speed of chanting spells, she was much better than Okules.
When everyone's eyes were attracted, Angma turned to Talisa and asked, "Does it matter? Do you need to ask Ms. Mavi to take a look?"
Talisa shook her head quickly, "It's just a small problem, it will get better soon, don't bother Ms. Mavie."
Angma looked at her seriously.
Under his gaze, although the girl pretended to be natural, she had no experience after all, and it was still difficult to hide the anxiety in her expression.
After scanning Talisa's body with her mental power, she found that Talisa's body was nothing like she said, Angma blinked, and then thought about it, she understood the causes and consequences, and sighed: "Talisa, it's still hard for you to trust me, right?"
"No, I..." Talisa wanted to make a point, but she retreated in Angma's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything. "Yes. Sorry, Lord Prophet... I can't convince myself to believe in the so-called prophecy. Any mage knows clearly that prophecy spells are full of uncertainty and are not enough to lead to a clear guide to the future, but you..."
Angma noticed her name and felt a headache when she had no choice but to make her feel helpless. He felt that even if she made it clear about the difference between "prophecy" and "prophecy spell", Talisa would definitely not listen.
"I accept you as my disciple in the name of prophecy and destiny, but you do not believe everything I say. And then I am deeply suspicious of my motivation, and even doubt that I have ulterior motives, right?"
Talisa lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "Yes."
Angma laughed silently, "I appreciate your skepticism, which is a good thing. But since that's the case, why are you willing to come to me to study?"
“Because, because…”
After saying several "because" in a row, Talisa was unable to say what happened later.
Angma smiled bitterly and said, "It is so incredible that the famous prophet actually recruited unknown apprentices and taught the world's most profound magical knowledge without asking for anything in return. You don't believe that anyone would be so selfless, so you think that I helped your teacher get out of prison for getting you. You are afraid of me, and you don't want to stay for a moment, but you dare not leave. Because you are afraid that I will put your teacher in prison again in anger, right?"
After his thoughts were revealed, Talisa's head pressed down even lower and admitted: "Yes."
Angma really didn't know what to say, and he couldn't even understand how Talisa regarded herself as a villain. Perhaps it was because Azshara's behavior of painting himself for the past three years was too much, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the believers of Eluen, so many people had preconceived feelings of dissatisfaction with themselves?
"I...I want an answer, okay?" Talisa asked in a low voice.
"What's the answer?" Angma asked back.
"What do you... want me to do for you?" The girl's cheeks turned red and her voice became lower and lower.
"I don't need you to do anything, Talisa," Angma covered her forehead in pain. "How can I convince you that everything I do is to give you enough self-protection before the catastrophe comes?"
"If... if you're worried about being too many people, you can... tell me privately." Talisa glanced at other apprentices nearby, resisted her shame and said in a slight voice.
"Okay, okay..." Angma sighed, "There is a reason for my help. You can treat it as a transaction, and you are the content of the transaction. In return, you must obey my orders and receive my education - if this allows you to study hard with me."
After saying that, he looked at the girl, "Is it OK?"
Talisa stared at the ground without saying a word. A small ball of flesh bulged up on her cheeks, as if she was gritting her teeth.
"Talisa, I'm still very pleased that you can meet me honestly and express your doubts." Angma can't count how many times she sighed.
...
The showdown continues.
Valtoy is excellent, but in fact Angma thinks she is even better than herself who just graduated from Faserlin College seven years ago.
This is already a high evaluation.
Because he understood how big a gap there was between the ancient night elves' secret method and the high elves in later generations.
Not to mention backwardness and advancedness, Valtoy grew up in an environment where there are no hidden worries inside. The night elf mages of this period only practiced and trained spells specifically for warfare, while Valtoy, who specialized in the field of arcane, had the widest coverage of arcane masters.
But Angma's growing environment is completely different from this.
At that time, Quelthalas had been looted by orcs. The Yongge Forest in the south, which is the current ghost land, was burned to pieces by the red dragon enslaved by the orcs of the Dragon Throat clan. The Amani trolls who had been hiding in Zu Amani were also ready to move due to the arrival of orcs. The attacks on the border of Quelthalas were dozens of times more than before, and the rangers who defended the frontier were killed every day.
Following the war in Heimen Calendar-2800, this land once again faced unprecedented threats. Not to mention that the number of troops doubled during that period, even major magic academies cut off half of their courses and changed to practical magic teaching. The purpose is to prevent the invasion of the Amani trolls or the comeback of orcs.
The apprentices of the high elf mages who grew up in that era were all ready to be sent to the battlefield. The energy-shaping spells, the illusion, the barrier magic array for actual combat, the forbidden spell array for war, the temporary teleportation array, and even the China Unicom military food reserve warehouse. In urgent times, specific "creation (summon)" gastronomy to solve urgent needs... Angma is familiar with these spells.
But even so, he was still not as good as Valtoi in front of him at that time.
In the academy, like most apprentices, Valtoy only took a few practical courses, but he quickly learned from the experience of the showdown between Okules and Ronin and applied it to the point.
This is the gap in talent.
But Angma and Luo Ning, who took the assessment, both understood that even if they wanted to help the apprentice build confidence, they could not pass such a small spell duel. Compared with the imminent battle of the ancient times, this was not even a joke.
Valtoy lost without any suspense, but was undoubtedly countless times better than Okules, who was the first to appear. Because she successfully distracted Ronin with the illusion, and finally weaved a wall of fire with her only remaining mana, burning down all corners of Ronin.
This is also caused by Luo Ning's release of water.
He is a legendary wizard with sufficient experience. He can't tell which illusion is the real body. However, because he has to limit his reaction ability and his casting ability to be limited to the apprentice level, he has to pretend that he can't see it and try it with exploration spells one by one, and then he was defeated.
"You're doing a great job, Valtoi." Angma sincerely praised him as he looked at Valtoi, who was panting with his hands on the sidelines.
Valtoy smiled proudly and looked at Okules like a demonstration. Seeing this, the latter scratched his head in great embarrassment.
Fortunately, for the night elves in ancient times, losing to women is not a shameful thing. After all, the ruler of the entire empire is a woman. The innate magical talent is not as good as the physical strength advantages, but only favoring men. Many mages who are unique in their own field are women, so Okules is very open-minded. But after a while, they will be kept teased by Valtoy again.
After defeating the two apprentices in succession, Luo Ning was not tired at all. For him, this was just a warm-up. Perhaps because he was excited, he waved his hand and whispered to the remaining two apprentices:
"Alisand, Illidan...you go together and let me see what you have."
Alisand looked at Angma who was smiling at the corner of his mouth, and looked at Yilidan again. The two of them asked in unison: "Master Ronin, do you really... want to fight against both of us at the same time?"
"What," Ronin laughed, "I really thought you could defeat me?"
Alisand and Illidan immediately entered the field and were ready for battle.
Angma ate the fruits and vegetables presented by the maid while watching with interest.
Alisand is the "apprentice" who has been studying for the longest time. The spells he masters have far exceeded the scope of apprenticeship. Even the epic powerhouse with sufficient experience may not necessarily win her.
What's more, there is an Illidan who is a monster? You know, if you look at Azeroth, you can't find someone more talented than him. Angma thinks that if Ronin was careless because of his youth, the ending of this battle might really be beyond everyone's imagination.
Everyone wants to see if Alisand and Illidan can defeat Ronin, who suppressed his strength to an extremely low level.
With the eyes of everyone, the showdown finally began.
