Chapter 22 "Focus on casting!"
Three days later, Katisya.
Although it is still early in the morning, there is chaos everywhere. Usually the streets that slowly get lively as the sun rises is crowded at this moment, and the carriages entering and leaving the gate are crowded.
The army oppressed the New Asia border, and the news that the war had broken out suddenly spread to the city of Kattia. Although the enemy had not yet been seen, prices had begun to fluctuate wildly. Civilians began to rush to buy living materials, and mercenaries were being collected everywhere, and the whole social order was in chaos.
This country developed by free business alliances is far more fragile than everyone thinks.
At this time, near the city gate, Alice was waiting in a simple but spacious carriage, and Anna Suping lay in her arms.
Will sat in the driver's seat. In those days in the Tree of God of War, he not only learned various combat skills, but also learned to drive a carriage. Next to the carriage, Greenless also stood quietly.
"Here it comes." Greenless looked at the city and said lightly.
In his sight, Meiji was leading a little girl with a long wooden stick and running towards them from the chaotic pedestrians.
The nature he is holding is Xue Qiner.
When he came to the edge of the carriage, he poked his head in. Anna looked at him weakly: "Brother Meg..."
Since leaving Hook Island, Anna has been weak and unable to recover. Megsy and Will analyzed for a while and felt that the fragments of the soul of the goddess in her body were beyond her body's endurance. Although she can use blue planetary fragments, Anna is just a little human after all. The blue planet fragments she originally owned in the deep blue sea have been absorbed by her body, which should have reached her limit. And this time on Hook Island, the fragments of the soul that originally belonged to the eye demon also broke into her body, causing a heavy burden on her body.
After all, the fragments of the blue planet come from gods, and ordinary people can't even touch them, let alone absorb them. However, Will believes that as long as Anna rests for a while, her body can slowly recover. Luna was originally a symbol of love and pity, and her soul fragments should not really bring danger to the kind Anna.
On the hook island, Zhina was also damaged by the divine power caused by the blue planet fragments, but the vampire itself has the ability to heal itself. Meiji let her rest in the magic maze, which is not a big problem.
"Sister Anna," Xue Qiner looked worriedly at Anna Su in the carriage, "Are you sick?"
"I'm fine." Anna smiled in Alice's arms.
"Will will take you first," Meggie told Alina, "Schen and I will catch up with you soon."
Alina nodded quietly.
Mage leaned in and shook her hand: "Don't worry, Will will protect you."
"You should also be careful." Alina looked at him and said, "We will wait for you at the hot deer fair."
Mage nodded. He took Xueqiner around and said a few words to Will, and then Will left in the carriage.
Greenless and Meggie stood side by side, watching the carriage slowly go away. Alina poked her head out and waved to them.
After the carriage disappeared, Meggie turned his head and looked at Greenless: "Are you really not leaving?"
Greenless replied blankly, "Since I have become the president, I can't leave a shadow guild at this time, can I? What's more, there can be war anywhere now, and it's the same wherever you go.
That's right! Meiji sighed, "Help me take care of the children of Liga and Barr when you have time."
Green Wallace nodded.
"Let's go, too." Meiji looked at Xue Qiner. Now that he has promised to be the little girl's teacher, he naturally doesn't worry about leaving her here.
Xue Qiner looked back at the city and looked a little sad. Megie knew that she was feeling uncomfortable because she was about to leave her grandmother, but there was nothing she could do.
After saying goodbye to Greenless, he opened a portal and stepped in with Xue Qiner.
*
The main reason why she wants to be separated from Alina and Anna for the time being is mainly because Meggie needs to find Zia. He asked Greenless to help him find out that Zia and the circus were staying in a small coastal city.
Transmitted to a position close to the port through the transmission array and identified the direction with the star floppy disk, and he took Xueqin on the road. At noon, they came to a desolate mountain. Seeing that Xue Qiner was tired of walking, Meiji stopped to rest.
He took out some bread from the dimensional bag and ate it separately with Xue Qiner.
"Let me see what magic you have learned." After the break, Meiji told Xue Qiner.
"Hmm." Xue Qiner said happily to her teacher.
She went to the open space, took the magic wand that could avoid casting gestures, and chanted spells loudly. Before long, a fireball flew out and exploded away in the distance.
Meggie is already a little surprised. He had to admit that this little Lori was so talent that she could use fireball so quickly. Although limited by the perception of magic, the effect of fireball is not very large, but it is already very rare.
Is this girl a magic genius?
If this is the case, it is necessary to cultivate her as soon as possible. With the sweep of the war, I'm afraid that no place on this continent will be safe at that time, and it is also a good thing for her to protect herself as soon as possible.
He walked to the little girl: "Well done. Do it again."
Xue Qiner couldn't help smiling when she saw that she was praised. She took a deep breath and sang a spell in front of her again. The repressing ancient elf language came out of her mouth like a song, and the magic condensed and formed in her body.
However, at the moment when the spell was about to be issued, one hand touched her buttocks. She was shocked, her singing was interrupted, and the magic disappeared.
"It didn't work," Meiji sighed heavily as he put his hand where he shouldn't have been. "Do you know why you failed?"
"Because, because..." Xue Qiner's face turned red.
"Because your mental strength is not concentrated enough," Meiji taught her, "when facing the enemy, there are often many unpredictable situations. If your casting is interrupted so easily, you are likely to never have the next opportunity to cast the spell." Focus on casting spells is always a basic skill that a magician must improve. Even if you are injured, even if you are in ice and fire, even if you see your relatives or partners in crisis, you must protect your absolute calm and keep the magic you are casting un interrupted. You must understand that the success of each spell is likely to become the only chance for you to protect yourself and your companions.
Only then did Xue Qiner realize the good intentions of her teacher to secretly touch her buttocks, and she couldn't help but be discouraged that she was so easily disturbed.
"Come again!" Meiji told her majestically as a master.
"Hmm!" Xue Qiner tried her best to concentrate her mental strength, but she was a girl after all, and Megid's hand kept touching her buttocks, making her whole body stiff and unable to cast spells several times in a row.
"This is not possible!" Meiji withdrew his hand and sighed earnestly. In order to strengthen his persuasiveness and make Xue Qiner really understand the importance of casting spells successfully even if his buttocks are touched, he began to tell the fact that he was shot with arrows and almost died in sub-dimensional space because he failed to cast spells.
Because it was originally a real experience, he didn't even need to add vinegar, which had frightened Xue Qiner. At that time, when he attacked the necromancers and was about to leave, he was hit by an arrow because of the interference of casting. Fortunately, he cast the spell again with an arrow wound and successfully entered the sub-dimensional space. In the subdimensional space, if it hadn't been for Liselle's call, he would have almost lost blood to death because he had no spare strength to relieve his spiritual state.
"That's why I have to exercise your concentration in casting," Megee looked at his female apprentice very seriously. "Even if you are injured, you can't let your spell fail, because for magicians, every failure of casting may lead to irreparable consequences. Do you understand?"
"Hmm!" Xue Qiner looked at her master with emotion. Master was able to complete the spell with an arrow wound, and she failed just because she was touched, which made her very ashamed.
She secretly made up her mind that no matter how touched by her master this time, she would successfully cast magic.
Then Meji suddenly pulled her to the front and half squatted and held her in his arms: "Don't move."
Does Master want to train me in a stricter way than touching my buttocks? Xue Qiner was so nervous that she pounded and decided that she could not disappoint her teacher anyway.
However, she soon found that she had misunderstood.
More than a dozen figures are quietly sneaking around them, including magicians and assassins in leather armor. There are even two monsters that Xueqin can't recognize.
"Who are you?" Meiji looked at them lightly. Although these people wear ordinary clothes that are not noticeable, their appearance is still a little different from that of the people on this continent. At first, Meggie thought they were enemies from Si'er, but when he looked closely, it seemed that these people's skin was dark and not as tall as the barbarians.
"You are Meji," a magician in a black robe stared at him fiercely. "Where did you hide the left eye of the dragon?"
The magician's accent is very strange and his pronunciation is not accurate, as if he has just learned the lingua franca on this continent. Meiji looked at him: "Dragon's left eye? What is that?"
He has never heard of the left eye of the dragon, and he doesn't understand why these guys came to him.
"Give me the dragon's left Qing," the black-robed magician stretched out his hand to him, "We won't kill you."
Meggie sighed. Although he doesn't know what Longzhi Zuoqing is, he at least knows that this battle is inevitable. Some things are useless no matter how you explain it. Since the other party has identified the dragon's eye or something with him, no matter how he tells them that he has never heard of this thing, they will not believe it.
Why am I so unlucky to be found by these inexplicable guys to fight an inexplicable fight?
He began to cast spells secretly. Because he himself was able to cast spells silently, and when holding Xueqin, he inevitably came into contact with the magic wand that could avoid casting gestures, so that he had secretly completed a spell in silence.
"Be careful," the black-robed magician found the magic fluctuation between the air and was shocked. "He is casting spells."
An assassin immediately threw out the dagger in his hand and scratched it, while Meiji and Xueqiner disappeared in place at the same time.
The black-robed magician immediately used the spell to break the invisibility, but in front of him, he appeared at the same time, each holding the little girl in his arms, and his posture was exactly the same.
"This is mirror art, and one of them is true." The black-robed magician shouted to the others. Therefore, those people attacked the seven Meiji at the same time, but to their surprise, each of them disappeared like water lines, and none of them was real.
A boulder with fire suddenly fell from the sky, covering a radius of hundreds of meters. The terrible momentum shocked everyone present.
"Mite?!" Someone shouted in panic.
meteorite is the highest level of magic, which generally requires multiple high-level magicians and takes enough time to complete. These people did not expect that the teenager who was besieged by them would come out almost quietly with the help of one person.
"No," the black-robed magician shouted, "this is not a real meteorite, it's just a..."
Boom!
The boulders hit the ground and burst into flames, and those people were in a mess in shock.
"This is an illusion." The black-robed magician shouted angrily, trying to calm his companions down.
However, at this moment, a chain of lightning flew out of a corner and knocked down four people in an instant.
However, the lightning also made the black-robed magician find Megee's position. He stretched out his hand and cast invisible magic, which immediately made Meiji appear.
Mage is casting a spell on the thief closest to him.
The black-robed magician had realized the strength of the young magician and quickly chanted a spell to Meji. However, halfway through the spell, he felt that something was stabbed his buttocks in the back.
He turned around in astonishment, and then saw the little girl who had been held in Meiji's arms smiling at him with the ugly wooden stick.
"Focus on casting spells!" Xue Qiner knocked on the long stick and hit the black-robed magician's ** fiercely, which made him bend down in pain.
In the process of his temporary loss of combat ability, Meggie has used the cooperation of Shadow Gate and various magic to clear the other enemies, and even the two monsters were penetrated by him with the same "broken flash".
Although there are many enemies, no one can really pose a threat to him.
"It's over!" Meiji yawned boredly and wandered to the black-robed magician, "Well, now you can tell me what that dragon means."
The black-robed magician was unwilling to stand up straight and want to cast a spell, but the pain from the most vulnerable part of the man quickly made him cover his lower abdomen and sweat coldly.
"See it?" Meiji touched the little girl's head, "This is the consequence of not focusing on casting spells."
"Well," the little girl nodded vigorously, "he is really useless. If he were a master, he would definitely succeed."
"This, this..." Meggie scratched her head awkwardly. Even if he is hit hard in such a place, he probably doesn't dare to ensure that he can cast spells successfully, right? After all, for any man, this kind of place is an Achilles' heel.
Of course, there is no need to explain this kind of thing to Xue Qiner.
He casually gave the black-robed magician a corrosive magic that can make people sore all over his body, and continued to ask, "Why did you come to me?" What is that dragon eye?"
The magician in black robe stared at him angrily while enduring the pain.
"Wouldn't you say it?" Meiji sneered and looked at Xue Qiner, "Do you know that there is any magic that can make the most powerful person have to speak?"
Xue Qiner shook her head.
"Call the epidemic!" Meiji slowly gestured, and for a moment, a black mass of countless mosquitoes flew over the head of the black-robed magician. He looked at the magician in black and said lightly, "If you don't answer, these little guys will crawl all over your body. They will get into your skin little by little, nibble on your meat and suck your blood. You are also a magician. You should know the pain of being slowly killed by the epidemic, right?
Fear appeared in the eyes of the black-robed magician.
Those mosquitoes begin to fall...
"I said," the black-robed magician quickly said, "We came to you because you killed Overwelli. We suspect that you have dug up the left eye of the dragon in its body.
"Over...in what? Who is he?"
"It is the king of blind eyes," the black-robed magician explained. "We wanted to negotiate with it to give us the left eye of the dragon, but when we found it, it had already..."
His words suddenly stopped.
At the same time, Meiji sensed a strong magic fluctuation from a distance. He quickly grabbed Xue Qiner, transmitted it directly to the distance with the shadow door, and added a series of protective barriers for himself and the little girl.
When he looked at the black-robed magician again, the black-robed magician's body was constantly twitching, as if the blood in his body was constantly expanding.
Suddenly, there was a bang, and the body of the black-robed magician burst into pieces.
Xue Qiner turned around in horror.
Gently stroking Xue Qiner's back, Meiji looked around, but there was not even a figure, which made him feel a little chill.
Someone killed people in front of him, but he didn't even see the shadow of the enemy...
