Knowing how to drive did not mean knowing how to build a car, not to mention that there were different levels of driving. Masters could compete with others on the racetrack. They could play all kinds of tricks on the iron things with wheels. They could also control construction machines to do all kinds of things that were beyond the reach of human strength. But when it came to the road, it depended on the day. Maybe it was to kill others, maybe it was to kill oneself.
Knowing how to use the most basic apprentice-level magic was like knowing how to drive a car, but to use magic well, it was like wanting to drive a car well, just basic skills were not enough. Therefore, the gap between mages was quite big.
Many mages relied on a set of auxiliary magic and used themselves as a berserker, but most of the time, they had no choice. Although they had magic talent, their brains did not support themselves to go further on the path of magic. They could only show off some apprentice-level tricks.
In any case, it was because he understood the nature of the difficulty of apprentice-level magic that Lin dared to pat his chest and say that he would become a mage in four years. But hearing these words, the two little apprentices who had been by his side for a long time could not help but feel a little sad.
Although they were qualified to wear the two silver tassels, their knowledge of magic under the guidance of their teacher and sister was far beyond the level of an apprentice. Unfortunately, the accumulation of Authority could not be rushed. Since they were not gifted, they could only rely on meditation every day to slowly increase their strength. And this was something that others could not help with.
The matter at the academy came to an end. When Lin brought the two little girls back home, it was already late at night. The neighborhood was quite quiet, and there were occasional cat and dog barks in the distance, but when Gray Hoof and White Nose appeared, the sound of small animals disappeared. Because he would be running around today, and the locations were around the core area of Wulian City, he did not bring the two big dogs with him.
Now that the two little masters were back, they still did not come out to greet them warmly. If Lin came back alone, the two dogs who were lying comfortably in the past would probably only raise their eyelids, and not even think about it. After Lin trained the two dogs ruthlessly, seeing someone come back alone, the big dogs would have already run away with their tails between their legs. What kind of dog would have the guts to greet that fiend?
Fortunately, after training, the two dogs did not bark too much, and were quite quiet. Even so, the commotion they caused was not small. There were still some neighbors nearby who came out with lanterns to see what was going on.
The Lich, who rarely showed himself in the academy these days, was currently busy in his home in the small district. The two girls, Halumi and Kaya, followed their elder sister in preparing for the battle tomorrow night. After all, the Lich's war had reached its climax, especially after the enemy had found a powerful ally.
She was a High Noble from the Elf Kingdom, known as the Sword Dancer, Riana Titov. She was the daughter of the Prime Minister, Luca Titov.
Lin had seen her for the first time at a few noble banquets. In fact, this was the first time he had seen a living elf, especially one with a noble bloodline. In the past, he had only seen and read about such creatures in comics, novels, or movies. The Elven Princess Arwen in the movie "The Lord of the Rings" was the best interpretation of the word "Elven" by the fat otaku.
By the way, the Southwest Peninsula of the Lost Earth World was mainly populated by humans. Apart from that, the gnomes were the only ones that could barely be considered a threat. They were spreading everywhere and had almost become a scourge. Other than that, there were no other settlements of Homo sapiens. However, members of these races could occasionally be seen traveling the entire continent as adventurers.
Speaking of which, he still remembered the first time he saw her meticulously dressed beautiful face. Her voluptuous figure was completely different from what he imagined an elf to be. Lin had thought that this girl was just a flower rack used to admire her. After asking around, he found out that she was actually more than 200 years old and had a fierce reputation as a messenger of "justice". This was not a compliment or a derogatory statement. Riana was a believer of the God of Justice, Albrecht, and a messenger of justice.
Unlike the knights of the Temple of Light, Riana lived a more casual life and was more faithful to her heart. This was also one of the reasons why she did not do anything after seeing Lich at the gathering of the nobles in Wutu City and cursing him as a "rotten person from the darkness".
The other biggest reason was that the "justice" of the Lost Earth World was a little different from what was commonly known on Earth. It was not the extreme attitude of not being able to tolerate sand in one's eyes. As long as one saw a trace of darkness, one would be prepared to tie the other party to the stake. If one were to talk about the concept of Earth, it could be said that it was the "chivalry" of Wuxia.
What was righteous would be done resolutely. However, one had to be reasonable and distinguish right from wrong. However, it did not have the "loyalty" of Wuxia, which made it easy to be instigated and used by others. To put it simply, when they saw injustice and injustice, they would come forward to stop it. However, if it was just a rumor, they would only seek confirmation. If it was proven to be true, of course, they would uphold justice. Upholding justice without seeing the crime with their own eyes was not allowed by Albrecht's teachings.
Therefore, strictly speaking, this God of Justice did not belong to the lawful camp. He was more inclined to the neutral and good camp. It was precisely because of this that among adventurers, mercenaries, and even ordinary people, the belief of this God was quite common. It was similar to the Ghost Island worshipping Guan Yu.
On the other hand, Liana Titov had done several righteous deeds in the name of the God of Justice, Albrecht. Therefore, although she wasn't a high-ranking member of the Church of Justice, people would still link the two together.
However, right now, there was a certain Lich whose identity could not be confirmed. There was no evidence to prove that she was the Demon King who ruled the Dark Age a thousand years ago. Secondly, that era was too far away. It did not meet the conditions for the believers of the Church of Justice to uphold justice. Of course, there were good people in the Lich. However, people who would turn themselves into undead creatures were naturally abnormal, so of course, they had to be vigilant.
Therefore, she stayed, stayed in Wulian City as a guest, and kept her eyes on the Lich. As long as the other party did anything that violated morality and conscience, she would immediately take action, regardless of whether the other party was the Demon King who once took pleasure in slaughtering Gods. However, if she did not cross the bottom line, she would only attack and defend with the opponent on this battlefield where there was no blood.
As for the group of upper-class ladies who had been targeting Fen, they gathered around Liana Titov and spoke without restraint, not giving her any face. The situation of the battle became more and more heated.
Speaking of which, in Wulian City, which was a city dominated by mages, Lin and Fen, who went to the noble banquet but did not come from a noble family, were quite frequent.
However, the reason why the two of them attended was not to find a sugar daddy to sell themselves at a good price, nor to climb up the social ladder to make themselves look more superior. It was purely because the beautiful mage who did not look like a Lich had a quarrel with a group of noblewomen. Every week, they would have a war of words.
After the High Elves joined the battle, the noble banquet was faintly divided into two factions, those who supported Fen Tikal, and those who supported Liana Titov. It was inevitable that some radical flower protectors wanted to use violence to solve the problem.
Lin watched from the side and only felt that it was funny. This group of people who were infatuated with lust wanted to fight and kill, but they did not think that the person involved was stronger than them. Who would kill who?
"This is a matter of attitude."
After Lin said what he thought was funny, Fen replied with a little dissatisfaction. She said, "Maybe those people are not as good as me, but the people on the other side are also weak. If the other side raises their fist, and the people who support me shrink their heads like quails, how disappointing would that be? So even if I don't need anyone's protection, I will still feel happy if I show my attitude. So it is normal that no one loves you, you are not considerate. "
"Yes, yes." Lin looked up and said perfunctorily, while his right hand was held by Fen. The two who had always been together had a kind business-like smile on their faces. They complained to each other in a low voice, while pretending to be close, and gestured to every noble who passed by and was friendly.
In the past, when they came to such occasions, although the two walked together, the focus of attention was still on the Lich who was wearing strange clothes. In the eyes of the others, Lin's proper mage attire was nothing more than a green leaf that served as a foil. It would be better if he didn't exist.
But today was a little different. There were more people who came to talk to Lin. If it was in the past, most of these people would smoothly change the topic to their female companions, or they would shamelessly ask him to introduce them to them, implying that they wanted him to flatter them.
But today, the focus of these people was on Lin, or rather, on the academy that had the president's name. First, he congratulated the first batch of apprentices of the academy for passing the first test. Then, he discreetly inquired about their lives in the academy. He didn't forget to hint that there were also some children in his family who were gifted in magic, but unfortunately, they didn't get a good opportunity and so on.
In fact, in the past, the roles of the two sides were reversed. Lin used Fen's face to talk to the nobles, saying that there were many things waiting to be done in the academy and that money was needed everywhere. But who would be willing to do business without any return?
The few people who were willing to talk in depth either wanted to exchange the benefits of coffee or exclusive knowledge of the program. In short, they had bigger plans and did not care about the academy that no one knew what it was.
However, to have twenty-six First Circle Magic Apprentices in four months was a shocking result. And since the academy was able to show such good results, of course, other people would want to know what kind of benefits they could get from it.
