Chapter 11 Unknown Invitation
It's getting late.
Looking at the Templar who was patrolling the torches outside, Sester took a deep breath. He was a little nervous. After all, before he became famous, his teacher had been telling him the horror of this prison, which was deeply imprinted in his mind. Even though he was already a world-renowned wizard, he still felt that he was not so adaptable to the prison. Although he had prepared magic, he had not made up his mind yet. In other words, he was telling himself that the horror stories told by the teacher before had passed, and now he was fully capable of dealing with these. Although he was hinting in this way, he was still a little nervous. Unfortunately, this action was settled and he could not give up easily.
But he was his beloved disciple after all, so he couldn't let him die in it.
"I advise you not to do that."
Although someone heard a voice from behind, the old mage did not look back. In this small town, there was only one person who could escape his magical search.
"Mr. Li Lin, I think, I keep our promise."
"It's true."
Li Lin walked to the old master, held Anjie's little hand with one hand, and looked at the white prison in front of him.
"I am very satisfied with your trustworthiness, so I will not stop you from doing this, but the following is just my personal opinion. Those low-level mages are obviously not as stupid as I thought. Although they are not talented, they are still working hard in their own way. Once you succeed in saving people, it is very likely that their efforts will be completely done."
"What do you mean?"
Sester was a little surprised. He didn't understand what Li Lin meant very much, but he still asked. Li Lin did not answer the old mage's inquiry directly, but pointed to the prison in front of him.
"Do you know what they do in there?"
"Make, carve the statues of gods."
Sester naturally knew this. After all, he had worked hard to sneak into this prison to save people and collected a lot of information. He was so anxious to rescue his disciple. After all, a rough work like carving stones can easily hurt his fingers. Once a mage has a problem with his fingers, it is like losing half of the mage's life. This is not a simple matter.
"That's right."
Li Lin nodded.
"However, these mages made some tricks on the statue."
However, he added immediately.
Small hands and feet are actually very small. After all, the statue of the god is carved by a mage. If you don’t check it before leaving the factory, and after the placement is finished, you will find that there are words cursing the gods, the church face will be greatly reduced. As the Paladin who led Li Lin during the day said, there were no mages who used crooked ideas before, and carved some blasphemous things like the legs of the statue, and then they were naturally pulled out and chopped. The temple is not a fool, not to mention that the mage has always been known for its intelligence, and there will be ghosts without being too careful. If it were a dwarf, it would be easier to do more.
What these mages did was just adding a few lines to the hair of the statue.
This sounds nothing strange, but just like a triangle can be obtained by combining three lines, it is precisely the added lines that form a small magic rune.
"A revitalized rune." Li Lin continued, his tone quite admiring. "It is difficult to recognize and it is easy to pass. It is also easy to start this rune. As long as a mage knows the password, it can input magic power after reading it. I never thought that these low-level mages actually have such a method... Of course, the password is specific."
In other words, the statues taken away by the temple from here are likely to have each carved such revitalized runes, and naturally some of them know these commands. If someone has a super good character in the future or leaves after a great fortune, then these temples will suffer. Generally speaking, the statues of the gods are extremely tall, and it is completely unreasonable to say that they are not two or three or four meters away. To put it bluntly, the revitalized runes are just to move items. Of course, if you input enough and master the spells with enough precision, it is completely possible to let these statues take a space step. Even if you can't do it, the damage caused to the temple will naturally not be underestimated. From this, it can be seen that these mages are quite insidious. They have the feeling of "staying green mountains there, not being afraid of burning firewood."
Of course, this kind of command is definitely not known to everyone. People's hearts are the most unpredictable. Maybe one day some mages will be unable to bear the hardship and exchange this little secret for freedom. Then the arrangements for such a long time will be completed. So only some people at the top can know that although this is not without the possibility of betrayal, it is much smaller after all. Now Sester went to prison to save his apprentice, and his apprentice's life will naturally be completely saved. But once a mage escapes from prison, the rest of the mages will have a difficult life. Maybe in order to give the above explanation, they will all be pulled out and behead their heads. Anyway, according to Li Lin's observations over the days, most low-level mages have no human rights, and it is estimated that no one will protest against the person's heads.
"Of course, I have no objection if you can save all these mages at once. The above is just my personal advice."
Li Lin had no intention of saving these low-level mages at all. In his opinion, it was good for these guys to suffer more.
After listening to Li Lin's story, Sester fell into silence. Emotionally, he really wanted to save his disciple, but from a standpoint, as the most influential figure among the wild mages, he couldn't bear to ruin the hard work of these young mages. After all, even with his ability, it would probably be the limit to be able to withdraw from his disciples. Li Lin could do it easily, but he was just lazy to do it.
Finally, Sester sighed and said nothing. Obviously he still needed to consider it. Li Lin didn't say anything more, turned around and planned to leave. At this moment, Sester called him again.
"His Excellency Master Li Lin."
This time, he used the title of honor. Li Lin turned his head and saw Sester bowing slightly to him, showing great respect.
"Although I don't know who you are,...If you are really a mage in the Magic Empire period, please allow me to take the liberty to give you a suggestion. No matter what you want to do, I hope you can go to a small town and meet someone. That person is extremely concerned about Magic Empire, which will surely help you."
"Who?"
Li Lin thought for a moment and asked. But unexpectedly, Sester shook his head.
"I don't know the name of that person, sir. I don't even know whether that person is a man or a woman."
"So how do I find that person?"
"I have no idea."
"Well, Mr. Sester."
Li Lin subconsciously moved his fingers.
"It's late now, and everyone is sleepy, so I hope to confirm with you that I heard it wrong: You think someone can provide us with necessary help, but you don't even know what name it is, whether it's a man or a woman. That's right. So, where can we find that person?"
"I don't know, but I believe that that person will come to you."
Looking at the old wizard in front of him, Li Lin was silent for a moment, and finally concluded that he was not lying. If this was a lie, then he could convince himself with more natural reasons and statements. Because people often make more fluent when telling lies, because it is fabricated out of thin air and can be used casually, as long as it is said enough to convince people. However, people who tell the truth often stutter or even blurred. Because many times they need to compare memories to prove and answer, it is easier for people to doubt than those who tell lies.
"Where is the place you mentioned?"
"From here and heading southeast, you can reach the town. Its name is Ewing Carran, which is a very rich and quiet town."
Hearing this name, Li Lin's eyes widened slightly. He stared at the old mage, stared for a moment, and then nodded.
"I understand, I'll go there to look for it."
"Master, why did you agree to him?"
Walking back to the hotel, Angela couldn't help but ask.
"Not why."
Li Lin answered while stroking Anjie's long soft hair.
"First of all, we really have nothing to do, and the only clue has ended here. Next, we can only go around and try our luck. Second, that name makes me care a little..."
In fact, after a thousand years, most of the names of city-states have changed. They usually become simpler or more vivid. For example, the type of Half Moon City and Gaoshi City are typical of integrating ground characteristics into the name. Half Moon City is named because its territory has a lake like Half Moon. For example, commercial cities like Descartes were not originally called Descartes, but later, because they wanted to commemorate the Descartes family that founded this city, there were many people who changed their name to the surname of famous people. As for many ancient cities, in fact, because of the complex pronunciation or the inability to translate, they directly transliterate and randomly call it. The elephant Venseins was "punished" in the ancient magic empire. However, since no one knows this name now, Venseins called it troublesome and confusing, so they directly changed it to "Forbidden Demon Prison", which is convenient and vivid. And Ewingkaran is obviously a transliteration of the latter, which is exactly what attracted Li Lin's attention.
