Chapter 27 Battle of the Arcane Mage
The carriage galloped on the wide road, ignoring any obstacles. The old coachman waved his whip in his hand and shouted at the four fat horses under his eyes. He did not slacken with the flying whip, but the carriage was so fast that it still did not feel shaking at all. Considering this, the old coachman was indeed not bad in controlling horses.
At this moment, in the carriage, Anjie leisurely drank the black tea made by Fina with the "burning hand". Mina looked cold and looked at the window with a composure. There was no one else. Neither Li Lin nor Nia appeared in the carriage.
"Miss Angela, is this really good?"
Fina held the water cup in her hand, and the slightly burning flames moved around the edge of her palm, wrapping it. This trick that could barely be considered an offensive spell to move it as if it were used as well.
"Master..."
"It's not our turn to interrupt what the master wants to do."
Angela interrupted Fina's speech while drinking the hot tea in the cup.
"Just boil water well, masters have to put pressure on them... If it weren't for taking care of you two, I wouldn't want to stay in this ghost place as a nanny. It would be even more interesting to listen to the screams and wails that humans make when they are tortured by masters."
The cold wind whistles.
The cold wind mixed with fallen leaves flew, floating across the desolate land, showing a unique and beautiful curve. Li Lin held the magic book in his hand and lowered his head without saying a word. The magic light floated around him, as if the light and dark bulb was uncertain due to insufficient power supply. He was waiting for certain inevitable arrival and the moment of coming, and was preparing for it.
"Nia, how about it?"
"According to your opinion, it's ready, Li Lin."
The girl's beautiful and gentle voice sounded from the book, as beautiful as a clear spring and a stream.
"Since your current strength is no longer as good as before, I have to temporarily seal some of the power... Now it is almost impossible to cast the peak spell."
"You don't need to use peak spells to deal with these guys."
Li Lin's voice was full of confidence. He opened his eyes and stared at the scenery in front of him.
"At most it can only be used as a warm-up, and I need to review the way I fight with you."
"You must have no problem."
Nia's words made Li Lin smile with a rare relaxed smile, as if he was back when they first fought. As an arcane wizard, Li Lin was once very powerful, but he took the initiative to give up his strength and began to borrow his mind to make up for the shortcomings caused by this lack. Any kind of power has its own rules, loyalty, arrogance, sinisterness, evil, kindness, and anger. Only those who grind it to the top can obtain real power. It is the spirit of never giving up before setbacks and the emotions of extreme paranoidness.
Only those who never give up and shake can destroy the world.
The same goes for saving the world.
As early as when he met the old man in Mingdeng City, Li Lin had already noticed the hostility mixed with the other party. Although the old man tried to attack him for a while, he finally gave up this idea. I am afraid he also noticed his own strength and knew that once the fight started, it would cause huge losses to the entire city no matter what the result was. Li Lin naturally didn't have to care about these, but the old mage had to do so. However, this does not mean that he would not come to him later.
The "Haoju Book Library" began to emit the brilliance of magic, and the surrounding magic feedback began to occur around it. As the master of the most powerful magic power represented by Li Lin's heyday, the power of the "Haoju Book Library" was definitely beyond anyone's imagination. In just a few seconds, it had already applied a total of nineteen protective measures to its holders, from space interference to elemental immunity.
This function alone is enough to make it a quasi-artifact, but this title is not an appreciation for Li Lin and Nia, but an unbiased insult - after all, Li Lin has never done anything they call "artifacts" to the gods.
The air began to shake, and the space that repelled foreign objects emitted an abnormal scene like ripples on the water. Then, led by the old mage, six people wearing white mage robes appeared and surrounded Li Lin.
"Hello, young man."
Looking at Li Lin in front of him, the old mage felt a little panicked. Although he had led five mages with intermediate or above strength to be on the safe side, when he was actually facing this man, he felt that it was still not enough. Although the old mage had already had a premonition that this man was difficult to deal with when facing him on the street, he did not expect that he would bring such heavy pressure to people at present - like a tall and strong fortress, he had almost no way to start.
"Hello, Mr. Mage."
Li Lin lowered his head and stared at the book in his hand, his expression remained unchanged.
"Is there anything wrong with me?"
"About the book you have…"
The old mage considered the situation, but the atmosphere still did not change. The reason why he chose to retreat in the city of Minglan without ordering to attack this man was that he always felt a little scared from this seemingly harmless man. The uneasiness in his heart not only did not weaken, but instead showed even more intense when he used prophetic spell to discover the trace of the man.
Years of survival experience have made the old mage not afraid of retreating and fear. If the book in the young man had not been really important, he would rather have thought that nothing had happened and let him go. But now, no, many of them are intertwined, which makes him have no choice or a way out. Perhaps he should reflect on himself that if he had not worked so hard, he would not have been upgraded to a member of the Tour de Martial Arts, nor would he have come into contact with that damn secret. Being an ignorant intermediate mage, being ordered to death by his superiors is much better than before.
"Can you lend me a look?"
“What if I say no?”
Li Lin raised his eyebrows and gently stroked his fingers across the surface of the spell book. The five-speed gems embedded in the four corners and centers flashed with light. This action made the six white-robed mages take a step back. The protective spell immediately took shape in their minds, and they could be activated immediately with just one word. But soon they discovered that it was a threatening move, which made their faces slightly darker.
“That’s not something you should use, young people.”
The old mage took a deep breath and calmed himself down. The pressure everywhere in the air could not distinguish the source, which was enough to make the fragile mind lose his mind. This also made the old mage more sure that this thing was genuine rather than a counterfeit or similar product - he kept praying that it was like this.
Unfortunately, reality is often not satisfactory.
"Young man, you don't understand that what you hold is a very dangerous weapon."
The old mage calmed down for a moment, and he suspected that the young man was manipulated by the magic book in his hand. Although the deeds of this magic book were heard long ago when the old mage was an apprentice of a trainee wizard, he only regarded it as an exaggerated legend, a story that the mage made up exaggeratedly to brag about his power. However, after he became a formal mage, or even a high-level mage, everything the old mage learned and used could be clearly told that it was not a fictional story with all kinds of bragging about it. On the contrary, it was a real documentary literature.
"Our Mage Association has been working hard to collect these dangerous objects and preserve and regulate them. It is our duty, and what you hold will pose endless threats to the world today..."
“So what?”
Li Lin interrupted the old mage's speech, and his slender fingers flexibly tapped the edge of the spell book, just like playing a piano or typing on a keyboard.
"The world has always faced various threats, from existence to none, from nothing to existence. This is the world, the threats we can grasp are only a small part. In fact, the more you know, the more ignorant you will find yourself… It’s a pity…………………”
Speaking of this, Li Lin sighed helplessly.
"I'm not here to discuss philosophical thoughts with you."
A magical light flashed by and continued to be invisible—and then expanded into an endless magic net, covering the surroundings.
"It's the world of isolation!!"
The old mage's body became blurred, and then there seemed to be an invisible hand in the void to grab him hard and pull him. The originally illusory figure turned back into a clear entity again, and the possibility of trying to leave here was completely erased. The other mages quickly used their power to expand the correspondence in the face of this unimaginable scene, but they soon discovered that it was unlikely that whether they were teleporting themselves out of here or conveying information to the outside world. In the records of the Mage Association, there was only one spell with this characteristic.
"That's right."
Li Lin said, opening the "long-lasting library" in his hand. The wave of magic was touched and swept across at this moment. All the mages felt like a butterfly in a storm, and they could hardly grasp and control their own power accurately.
"You can't escape, nor can you convey any information to outsiders... the only way is to defeat me."
Countless magic runes poured out of the book and combined into a text combination that was so long that it was almost impossible to recognize, wrapping Li Lin.
"Or die... I honestly recommend you choose the latter."
Li Lin stared at the old mage who was dead in front of him and expressed his opinion.
