It was late spring, and it had just rained.
Under the shade of the trees, the fragrance of the earth and the moist smell made people forget the unhappiness of having their shoes soaked by the puddles. Compared to missing the cement or asphalt roads of Earth, looking at the side profile of the person walking beside him, that flawless face that seemed to be able to seduce people's souls, he still felt that it was inconceivable. To be able to walk side by side with her, was he lucky, or …
Right now, Lin was acting as a human porter, carrying the things that Fen needed in class. Considering that a certain someone's Blink spell couldn't protect anything other than himself, although Fen's Blink spell didn't have such a problem, she asked to walk part of the way on a whim. Because the distance between the academy and their new home wasn't long, the two walked through the tree-lined path after the rain.
It seemed that she had a lot to say, and he also seemed to want to say something. But walking on such a path, neither of them spoke, nor did they have the slightest trace of disobedience. Both of them quietly listened to the rustling of the leaves due to the wind. Sometimes, the shaking would cause the water droplets that were still left on the leaves from the afternoon rain to sprinkle down, bringing a chill.
In the attic of a villa in this district, a few mages were surrounding an illusion that simulated the terrain of a forest path. Next to them, there were even more magic apprentices who were continuously injecting magic power into the magic array to activate a certain spell.
One of them was proudly saying, "I've been preparing the illusion maze spell for a very long time, and looked at it with the highest standards. So no matter what, the target definitely won't be able to walk out of this forest this time. If I don't help them and remove the spell, they won't be able to walk out for the rest of their lives. "
Another person was flattering, "As expected of a genius in illusion, a maze master. If you ask me, the Association should grant you the qualifications of a great mage as soon as possible. As long as they fall into your trap, no one can escape from your grasp. "
"Well said, well said. Without the labyrinth gem that you meticulously created, even if I design an unsolvable maze, it would be useless. You also took a lot of credit for this. Hahaha. "
The two mages, one fat and one thin, flattered each other and talked, but the people in charge weren't so relaxed.
Due to the uniqueness of their opponent, they could not choose any method of surprise attack. They could only use this kind of passive trap. After waiting for a few days, they finally waited for the other party to walk into the place they thought he would pass by.
This was not the first time they had asked the two of them for help, and they had never failed before. However, people who were trapped in Maze Magic would usually be at a loss of what to do, unable to advance or retreat. Otherwise, they would just keep going around in circles. However, under the observation of the Tower of the Great Sage's improved Arcane Eye, although the target did not move in a straight line, his behavior was completely different from those who had fallen into the trap before.
This was because the Lich was very strong, so he was very confident and wasn't worried about falling into a trap. Or were they just fakes? Their perception was so poor that they didn't even realize that they had fallen into a trap?
As one of the targets, the mage probably didn't expect that the technology he developed would be used against him. Although it was rather inconvenient to use, and the various adjustments and matching were very complicated, Nie Yan looked at the illusion created by the Arcane Eye. But as long as the adjustments were in place, one could look down on the world from the perspective of a god, as if everything was under one's control. Including the two people who walked out of the forest in the illusion …
The manager asked doubtfully, "You've expanded the range of the Maze Magic to outside the forest." As he turned his head, he saw the mage who was good at creating the Maze Magic. His face was as red as a pig's liver. Even if the other party didn't say anything, he could guess that today's matter was over.
The other mages discussed animatedly, and the two who set the trap just gritted their teeth. But compared to the aristocratic demeanor of shirking responsibility whenever a mistake was made, the mages present were very serious about discussing the reason for the failure.
So where did the mistake come from? Did the Maze Gem not work? Or did they really crack the Maze so easily? Did they walk out of the Maze? Or did they crack the Maze Magic?
It seemed that there were still a lot of tests to be done to deal with them. Those who died before were all overconfident in their own strength, thinking that they could deal with any enemy and any situation. But enough of these endings could also be used as a mirror for others. At least the latecomers understood one thing: it wouldn't be easy to deal with these two.
As for the two who walked toward Kabamba Academy, one of them walked into a trap without realizing it, and the other sensed it but didn't care. Similarly, no matter what the trap was, it didn't work on them at all.
Unlike the Lich who could no longer be called a "human," Although Lin was still a human, the Dream Magic Tower had a greater and greater influence on him.
The magic effects that were solidified on the Dream Magic Tower were gradually turning into his instincts, like muscle memory. Many of his reactions no longer needed to be thought but reflexes. But this was also a decision that could only be made after careful and logical judgment. And what had the greatest impact on him, but he didn't know it, was the improvement of his computational ability.
The so-called illusion was a kind of visual misdirection, but more broadly, it was a kind of sensory misdirection. Either way, there had to be truth behind the misdirection. Even the slightest clue was as conspicuous as a bonfire in the dark night in the eyes of a certain someone.
Another improvement was his memory. Originally, Lin's memory could be considered excellent, but it wasn't to the point where he could remember everything he saw. Ever since he had the Dream Magic Tower, he had "stored" the images he had seen in the Dream Magic Tower, and then recorded everything that he had detected around him. He could call on this data at any time when he needed it in the future.
But when it came to the relevant programs of the Dream Magic Tower, the more he modified it, the more convenient it became, and the more organized it became. Unexpectedly, the distinction between the information stored in the Dream Magic Tower and his own memory became more and more blurred. Now, a certain someone actually couldn't tell whether what appeared in his mind was the information given by the Dream Magic Tower or the impression in his own memory when he wanted to know something in his impression.
But it was still a useful ability, so a certain someone didn't care too much about it. And this ability was used on the road in front of him, although he had only taken a carriage once and hadn't actually seen the whole road. However, based on the information and his calculation ability, Lin was able to intuit where the correct path was. He didn't even realize that he had stepped into a trap.
These were the reasons why a certain someone ignored the illusion in the tree-lined path and walked straight out.
But none of this was known yet.
A certain someone was still doing things at the pace he was used to, according to what he had always done. Even if he knew, he would probably say, "Even if I become stronger, do I have to live a normal life?" Saitama would even go grocery shopping herself.
The magic statues at the gate of Kabanbai Academy had long memorized the characteristics of the two Mages. As soon as they saw the newcomers appear from the other side of the road, they opened the gate of the academy.
The reason why the academy was so considerate was not only to give the teachers a feeling of being treated with courtesy, but also because it had happened in other academies before. The impatient Master Mage directly smashed through the gate and walked in. Although the truth of that incident was that the Mages of the academy wanted to intimidate the newcomers, the result was a bill for the repair of the gate and the repair of the magic puppets.
Not long after the two of them entered the gate, a magic apprentice ran to greet them. This was a young apprentice of the grand Mage Kabanbai's apprentice, and he also received elementary education in the academy. But after class, he would also help his teacher and his teacher's teacher deal with some of the academy's affairs. It was standard child labor, but in the magic land, no one would complain.
Today, he was going to lead Lich, the teacher of the life course, to the classroom where the class was to be held. Their destination was the small building that used to be called "Mathematics," but now it was called "Life."
Because the two of them were walking, they had more time to prepare to avoid any accidents on the way. But since they arrived at the academy without any danger, they naturally had more time. Also, because it wasn't time yet, not all the students had arrived. Of course, from the standpoint of the academy, they couldn't start the class early.
"Sir." The young apprentice leading the way politely asked, "Since it's still early, can I take you to the teachers' lounge on the second floor first?"
"No, take us to the classroom first. There are some things we need to prepare so that we won't be in a hurry. "Fen pointed at a certain person who was carrying a lot of things and said.
"Alright, Your Excellencies, please follow me."
The young apprentice led the two of them to the classroom on the first floor to the right of the "Life" building. Maybe it was for formal mages, so it was more like a salon or a theater. The seats were made of very comfortable flannel, and the small desk for writing was made of precious wood from the magic land. It was very delicate. The distance between the seats was very large, so there was no pressure. And the number of seats was just right for 24.
The teacher's seat was also very particular. He sat in the largest chair in the classroom. But for an uninvited guest, it seemed that they could only stand as punishment. Or they could squeeze into the big chair together with Lich.
"Sir, do you need anything else?" The young apprentice asked.
"Do you have a high chair?" Fen asked. Seeing the young apprentice's puzzled face, she used a whiteboard to roughly draw a high chair in the air. "I want a chair of this height. As for what it looks like, it doesn't matter. If you don't have one, then help me bring in a chair. "
"Okay. Do you have any other orders, sir? "
"Okay. By the way, help me pick some leaves. Pick three or five leaves. "
"Leaves? Do you need flowers? "
"I don't need flowers. I just need green leaves. Any leaves will do. Also, be careful when you pick the leaves. "
"Okay. I'll inform Mr. Kabambai when I bring in the chairs. Is that okay? "
Fen nodded and let the child leave first.
The two who stayed behind looked around the classroom. Fen said, "It's quite enjoyable, these people."
"The people who come to learn are all big shots. At the very least, they are all magicians who are rich. They can't be treated like those poor kids, right? "
"Well, let's put the things together. Don't waste their time, "Fen said teasingly.
"Okay." Lin opened the box that he worked hard to bring in and took out the things inside to assemble them.
