This was the standard tactic of the Mage of the Mystic Lands. After fully buffing himself, he charged forward!
This could happen in the blink of an eye!
The outcome was decided in an instant.
The Mage who provoked him came to the podium with his back to everyone, his weapon half-drawn. Lin stood behind him, lowered his body, and put the Cassette Cutting on the Mage's neck. He didn't press hard, but the sharp blade had already cut open the Mage's skin. There was blood but no blood.
The two sides were in a stalemate.
Unlike the typical fantasy world, Mages could only attack from the rear. They needed a meat shield to protect them from the front. However, the Mage of the Mystic Lands could attack from afar or in close combat when fighting alone. All the tactics had been laid out long before the battle.
The Mage of the Mystic Lands released a lot of power information as if he was going to release a powerful killing spell. None of the Mages present were inexperienced young men. As soon as they felt threatened, they naturally used all the means of self-defense. Nobody would think that their lives were safe if they didn't put up three to five layers of shields.
The casting of spells would be accompanied by colorful light. For a moment, the lecture hall was full of colors and dazzling. And this was exactly what the Mage of the Mystic Lands wanted. With such an environment, he could hide the spell he was going to cast — Anywhere Door.
Although it was only a third-circle apprentice-level spell, the same level as Fireball, it was a special spell that he had refined and improved. Its effect was far superior to that of an apprentice-level spell. It was fast and stealthy. It was a sign that he was going to compete with the Mage in front of him.
Silently, silently, without any obvious signs, the Mage of the Mystic Lands opened the exit of the Anywhere Door behind the Mage. Coupled with the magic blade made entirely of Mithril, whether it was delivering a fatal blow or capturing the Mage, this tactic could be said to be successful in every way.
However … all this fell into Lin's eyes completely.
Coming from Earth, he knew how destructive an instigated crowd could be. Just the strange and wrong perception that the law couldn't punish the masses could easily make the crowd go out of control, even if their initial goal wasn't to solve the problem with violence.
One-on-one was easy to deal with. If someone didn't want to fight everyone at once, then it would be of utmost importance to find one or two special existences in the crowd. After all, the principle of 'to shoot the general, you must shoot the horse first; to capture the bandits, you must capture the ringleader first' was the same in the Land of Confusion.
With the Arcane Eye as the foundation and the judgment logic of the program, Lin easily discovered that someone was preparing to open a Teleportation Door in the midst of a bunch of defensive spells.
Was the other party trying to escape? Or was it a surprise attack?
All the teleportation and teleportation spells in the maze were derived from the research on the World Tree. In the eyes of a certain someone, those spatial magic spells were a low-level, reduced-level version of Blink. Too much energy was spent on protecting people when they traveled through space, as well as ensuring the safety of the teleportation destination.
Therefore, the moment he confirmed that the Anywhere Door was about to open, Lin sensed the spatial fluctuations around him. His casting speed was unimaginably fast compared to the original version of a Third Ring Apprentice. However, if Fen had used Blink, she would have appeared the moment she sensed the energy fluctuation, catching him off guard.
In the eyes of a certain someone, this person's actions were like a thief using a lock pick tool to carefully open a door with three locks. Although his kung fu was meticulous, he had already been discovered by the owner of the house. As soon as he opened the door, he would be beaten up.
However, killing was not a good thing. Although the other party had the intention to attack, it was difficult to determine whether the other party intended to launch a fatal attack. If he killed the other party as soon as he appeared, there would be no room for negotiation.
Therefore, Lin adopted a conservative response. He changed the direction of the Anywhere Door's exit so that the other party's back was facing him as soon as he appeared. Then, taking advantage of the time before the other party could react, he flashed behind the other party, summoned Cassette Cutting, and placed it on the other party's fatal spot. He lowered his body to lower his center of gravity and reduce the range of possible attacks. In the end, it became what everyone saw after a blur.
Although the other party did not spend much time on casting a magic shield for the sake of surprise. However, the exquisite robe still had its own protective spell. It was just that the spell that should have been effective could not block the tyrannical power of Cassette Cutting. The pale blue light of the shield was like paper, piercing through with one stab. Coupled with the cold blade, the Mage who failed the surprise attack understood his situation and gave up resisting.
At the same time, the power of several powers exploded in the crowd! Then it was interrupted …
It was unknown whether they were the companions of the captured Mage or other people with ulterior motives, but they wanted to take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble. However, they did not think about the people around them. It was true that the Mages of the Holy City were devoted to research, but it did not mean that they were not good at fighting. These troublemakers were just about to launch an attack when they were stopped by the people around them.
When Mages killed people, they never pulled out their knives and stabbed again. Since their lives were already in the other party's hands, they had to know their place. Especially in a place like this, death would be in vain.
In order to protect the learning environment, the academy was never a place for Mages to settle their grudges. This point was the same no matter which academy in the Holy City it was. If anyone wanted to cause trouble here, it would be akin to slapping the academy's face. Since someone wanted to settle it privately in the academy, the academy would also settle it privately. It was simple and neat.
The group of people who caused trouble did it in the presence of the dean of the academy, the great Mage Kabanbai. If they succeeded, they would be prepared to flee and never enter the Holy City for the rest of their lives. However, they were captured alive today. Whether they lived or died, it all depended on the mood of the other party.
Therefore, everyone was the same. They lifted all the magic on their bodies and raised their hands where others could see them, indicating that they were not hostile, or that there would be no hostile actions.
The Mage who had Cassette Cutting at his neck was the first to break the silence and said: "Did my Anywhere Door magic just change the direction of the exit?"
"It's the reverse. If you know how to calculate, it's not difficult."
"Mathematics again." The Mage said with a sigh: "Can you put down the sword? My hands are sore holding it like this. "
"How about you tell me your name first? I didn't take attendance before class, so I don't know everyone. "
"I'm Herry, the benevolent Herry. The imperial guard of the Guevana Empire, especially on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor … "
"I refuse." Hearing the keyword, a certain someone said directly. At the same time, he released Cassette Cutting and took a few steps back.
"… Ah ~, what? I haven't finished speaking yet. "Herry's originally confident expression collapsed in an instant. He turned his head to look at a certain someone and said in surprise.
"You can say whatever you want. In any case, I refuse." Lin's expression was resolute as he spoke without hesitation.
"Why?"
"To cherish life and stay away from the Emperor or the King. In that position, they think that they can control the life and death of others, which makes them forget a lot of things. I'm not interested in dealing with such people. Besides, from your point of view, do you really think that it's a good thing to let the Emperor enter my sight? "
With a serious expression, Herry asked tentatively: "What do you mean by that?"
"You can take it as a threat. But what kind of threat it is, think about it yourself. I have no obligation to answer. "After retreating, Lin showed a rare calm and fearless attitude.
"Do you know that His Majesty the Emperor can reward you with wealth and power that you can't imagine?" Herry tried to tempt him.
A certain someone snorted and said: "For me, it's enough as long as I can eat my fill and have a bed to sleep in every day. The rest of my time is not enough for me to spend on learning, so how can I have extra time to flatter His Majesty? "
"Sir, don't you want to have a magic tower? Then isn't it important to accumulate wealth and prepare the funds to build the tower? "
"The Emperor who has the ability to directly give me a tower set the condition that I have to save money to build the tower. In other words, in his eyes, that's all I'm worth. Unfortunately, I don't want to lower myself, and I don't want to lose my freedom. I have to follow the orders of these people and even do things against my will. What's wrong with that? "
A certain someone's words were resolute, but it was what many mages present thought.
The Holy City was located in the territory of the Guevana Empire, so it naturally had the most contact with the people of the empire. The empire's preferential treatment policies also constantly attracted talented mages to enter the empire's system to serve.
The disagreement between the power faction and the academic faction had existed for a long time in the Estari faction, but it had not become a fierce opposition. And the reason why they founded the academy or came to this "mathematics" course that they originally thought was useless was because they were innately biased towards the latter. Lin Sheng's words were the most concrete expression of their thoughts.
"Hey, original, why don't you say what's on your mind? I think that sentence was very well said. "
Cassette Cutting suddenly spoke. Many people were confused and wondered why there was an unfamiliar voice. In the end, they remembered that the rumored evil sword was the inconspicuous item in the hands of the man in front of them. However, instead of worrying and fearing the evil sword, they were more curious about what the evil sword said in the man's mind.
And after being interrupted by Cassette Cutting, Lin did not know what it was referring to. Cassette Cutting said, "Tell your dog emperor, if he can only afford a bone as a reward, then he can only hire a dog. You want to hire me? No way! Haha … "
Before the blabbering sword finished laughing, Lin threw the weapon into the air and teleported back to his original place with Flash. Because of this unexpected episode, the man could not continue pretending to be cold and aloof. He could only touch his nose and say awkwardly, "Anyway, if you still want to come to the class tomorrow, I have no objections. It's almost time for dinner, and I've just moved, so my family is still busy, so I'll be leaving first. See you tomorrow, everyone. "
The man pulled open the door of the lecture hall and ran out as if he was fleeing. As soon as he took a step out, he left with Flash. What a joke! Cursing the dog emperor in front of the other party, he had already made an enemy. When he went back, he had to teach that sword a lesson. How twisted was its personality to be so disrespectful? If he did not correct it, it would be worse in the future.
