Chapter 22 Shadows in the Light
In the castle area in the center of Vandom, there is a majestic mage tower with gray-blue spires and white boulders. It belongs to the famous mage Disentas, the mainland.
As a great wizard, Disentasbo is famous for his knowledge and his answers to almost all questions can be found here, which gave him a nickname called "Living Encyclopedia".
His disciples are everywhere, and many accomplished magicians on the mainland have received his guidance. When they see him, they will respectfully shout: Tutor.
Such a wise, tolerant and generous master is naturally widely loved. In terms of power, he is not as good as the green dragon incarnated as Viana, but in terms of reputation, Viana, who has always kept a low profile, is far inferior to Disentas.
In the mage world, although there is no explicit description, the mages all acknowledge that Disentas is the spiritual leader of the mage.
But today, in the dark underground secret room of the Mage Tower, the great Mage Disentas threw away the cloak of light and turned into darkness.
He was wearing a pitch-black hooded cape, which was irritated with black mist, which made him look like a shadow.
In front of him was a strange-looking statue. This was a race that did not exist on the Starlight Continent. He was roughly human-shaped, but had horse-like legs and hooves. He had a knife-like horn in the middle of his head. The face below the corner of the knife was hideous and terrifying, and was roaring in anger. The eyes emitted a blood-red light. No matter what angle he turned, he felt like he was being looked at directly.
This statue is simply alive.
Disentas bowed and stood in front of the statue, and a respectful voice came from the bottom of the hood: "Alous, angry master, I have to report."
With this sentence, the light in the statue's eyes became more dazzling, and a passive sound rang out in the secret room.
"Tell me, mortals, but the master doesn't like bad news."
"..." Disentas's body trembled slightly, and finally said: "Because of an accident, our plan was noticed by the great wizard Viana..."
"Stupid!" The voice suddenly became louder, with violent anger, and suddenly exploded like thunder: "Disentas, you have failed your master's expectations."
"I know, I know, I'm guilty." Disentas was hunched and almost kneeled on the ground. He had always avoided not provoking Viana, but his subordinates, the believers, could not fully understand his intentions, and even took Viana's spell crystals with self-righteousness. God knows that when he learned the news, he wanted to burn the soul of the self-decisive idiot with flames for a thousand years!
"Make up for your fault before it becomes unforgivable. With less than a year left, the master's plan must not be any mistakes." Alous's voice became low and seemed to be calm, but Disentas could hear the storm hidden in it.
"Yes, I will do my best, and I will never make mistakes again this time."
"No, you must succeed."
"Yes, it will definitely succeed!" Disentas quickly promised.
The light in the statue of Alous's eyes dimmed and silent. Disentas stayed there for a long time before he recovered his strength, stood up, and walked out of the secret room with a staggering pace.
After leaving the secret room, he took off his black cloak, and when he walked to the first floor hall, Disentas had returned to normal. He returned to his room and arrived at the window. After thinking about it, a white light appeared in his hand. The light turned into an ordinary bird, flapping its wings and flew out.
This is the transmission method of the sending bird, an intermediate or above mage, which is secret and effective.
………………
Because the matter of the goblin camp has passed, the mastermind behind the scenes has retreated. According to the opponent's cautious personality, Dai Wei should not be assassinated. So after the plan agreed, Luo Lin followed Dai Wei back to her beach villa.
Of course, just in case, Viana gave Dai Wei an instant protection scroll. Once there is danger, activate the scroll and immediately get a powerful shield to protect her life.
Of course, Viana did not forget Rollin and also gave him a small gift, which was a crystal pendant, which was a magical instrument. The crystal in the pendant was filled with life energy. Wearing it can nourish the body and speed up the recovery of injuries. At critical moments, the crystal will break and release energy at one time to help him resist a fatal injury.
Anyway, this is a good thing.
The carriage was speeding. Luo Lin was lucky enough to sit in the same carriage with Dai Wei. After leaving the castle area, Dai Wei sighed and looked at Luo Lin and sighed: "My little tiger, I know that your talents are far more than a warrior who guards the house. You are growing rapidly. I am happy for you and a little sad. Not long after, you will leave me."
Perhaps because she had faced life and death together, Dai Wei no longer treated Luo Lin with courtesy as before, but instead expressed her thoughts directly and did not hide her thoughts.
Luo Lin felt this change, which was a manifestation of closeness. This mage apprentice no longer talked to him condescendingly as before.
He said sincerely: "No matter what I will come from now on, I will always remember your help to me."
"I feel much better with you." Dai Wei smiled slightly, but it could be seen that her mood was still not high.
Nothing to say along the way.
When he arrived at the villa, Luo Lin naturally became the new guard captain and protected Dai Wei with him.
Naturally, he also received better treatment. With a new room on the third floor of the villa, Dai Wei also specifically ordered the kitchen to prepare sumptuous food for him alone, which made the other three guards in the villa envious, but they could not be jealous, because this young man named Rollin was too strong, and he could not even kill the assassin in one-on-two, not only to say that he could defeat Harlem. This force was really terrifying!
Next, Luo Lin began to meditate and cultivate his body, and he would practice martial arts in the backyard.
It shouldn't have been here because this place would disturb Dai Wei who was studying in the alchemy room, but Dai Wei didn't care. She liked the sounds that often came out of the window. She could often feel the existence of this guard, which not only wouldn't distract her, but would make her feel very safe.
Five days passed in a flash, and Luo Lin's body not only completely recovered, but also reached a new peak.
During the martial arts training ground, Luo Lin felt that he was full of energy. The steel sword in his hand became as light as the feathers, and the shield was as clever as it was on his hand.
Through the practice of these days, his proficiency in all basic sword skills and shield skills has increased greatly, reaching the level of proficiency. His combat skills have even reached the threshold of exceeding the proficiency, reaching the level of "elite", and are more rapid and fatal.
"Intellectual brain, how has my body improved?" Luo Lin felt that his body was unprecedentedly good. In the past few days, he ate big fish and meat, and the nourishment of life pendant and the assistance of the intelligent brain, his weight has increased by at least ten kilograms.
Now his figure has changed a lot, and he can no longer see any thinness, and he can even feel a sense of strength.
In Dai Wei's words, he rose like a balloon. Now, his former acquaintances would definitely not recognize him, and the instructor's magic can be directly saved.
"Intelligent brain, how has my physical quality improved progressed?" Luo Lin asked, asking with concern. The quality of his body was related to the amount he could increase in every upgrade, and the importance was greater than other improvements.
"Current progress: 55/100, estimated completion time: one week."
"Why is it so much slower than the previous time?" Luo Lin was puzzled.
"Reason 1: Repairing hidden injuries in the body will cost extra energy. Reason 2: The current host level is level 6, the starting point is increased, and more energy is needed to strengthen it."
"I understand." Luo Lin suddenly realized that the truth was very simple. A mouse and an elephant were of the same quality. Obviously, it took much more energy to strengthen the elephant.
On the afternoon of the fifth day, Luo Lin practiced martial arts as usual. A bird covered in emerald green feathers flew over and landed on the arm of the wooden stake dummy in front of Luo Lin. Her eyes as big as mung beans looked at Luo Lin, chirped twice, and then began to speak.
"It seems that you have recovered well these days." It was Viana's voice, because it was made from the bird's mouth, and the sound quality was crisper.
"For your blessing, I feel that my power is unprecedentedly powerful." Rollin smiled. The bird was Viana's magic messenger, and he did this to keep the plan confidential.
"This is really good news. Dai Wei is right. You look a lot stronger and your appearance changes a lot. You only need some small adjustments and no one can recognize you." The bird smiled. The bird's claws moved and grabbed a small scroll on its ankle.
"This is a deformation reel, it works very well and lasts for a month. You can take it and use it at the right time."
"Get it." Rollin took the scroll.
"Very good. Let's start the action as we agreed on. I look forward to your good news."
"I will not let you down, Master Grand Master." Luo Lin saluted.
His memory in his previous life was not comprehensive, most of it could only be used as a reference. And the longer the time, the more history is changed, the smaller the value will be. But now, this memory can help Luo Lin quickly find an entry point to trace the Destruction God Cult, which is his biggest advantage at present.
