Chapter 1053: The Puppet Master
The heat wave inside the house was completely opposite to the cool night wind outside. Merlinsera saw the mages chanting the code name of the magic puppets and waving their arms emotionally: "End it! End it! End it!"
At some point in the middle of the lounge, it became a ring raised above the ground. Two humanoid puppets with a height of about two meters are wrestling. One of them is powerful but clumsy, and the other looks smaller but has the flexibility of a real person. Its four legs are like insects. Standing firmly on the ground of the arena.
Next to the arena are two puppet masters, who are constantly adjusting and casting spells on the control circle in their hands at the same time.
On the left is a male mage in his twenties, with a thin figure and cold eyes. The other one is Nai Fei, who is much taller. She has a relaxed expression, and she is lighting the array disk floating in the air with one hand. In the cheers of the surroundings, he whispered: "Then I'm not welcome—"
Following her control, the little puppet's arms suddenly stretched out, and the enemy was caught off guard, and was grabbed on the chest and head on the spot - the same hand "clicked" and broke the opponent's neck...
The triangular head fell to the ground, but the headless puppet was still struggling to attack. Naifei was not surprised. He glanced at the sweaty puppet master: "Have you hidden the core elsewhere?"
Immediately afterwards, the puppet she controlled lifted the enemy up and threw it to the ground without hesitation, and then stepped on the movable joints with four feet, and began to dismember them piece by piece—the sound of "crackling" mixed with the excitement of the mage beside him Shouting, Nafie glanced at the shattered parts and yawned.
The sorcerer crunched the formation plate in his hand, but in the end he didn't say anything cruel, and whispered: "I wish to bet and admit defeat. I lost, and I will give you something."
He took out a small wooden box and handed it to Nai Fei, who took it casually, with a look of indifference: "It was you who came to challenge me, and you insisted on betting, why do you feel like I am bullying you if you lose now?" of?"
These words made the young mages watching around burst into laughter, and also made the defeated leave the stage in dismay.
Some of the female mages who were clearly friends of Nefie shrieked: "Nifei is the best—"
Naifei was not embarrassed at all, and smiled and shouted in the direction of the sound: "If anyone is not convinced, please come forward. Maxxis will take the call for me!"
"Ha ha ha ha--"
Everyone knew it was a joke, Naifei didn't stay on it, but jumped off the ring, controlled the victorious puppet to follow him in the direction of that friend.
She's obviously very popular at Moffett College,
Many people greeted her along the way, and some young mages with fiery eyes wanted to invite her for a drink, but they were all rejected by Nefei without exception.
After staying here for nearly two years, Naifei can be described as a very different person now. She is about to turn sixteen this year, and she is half a head taller than when she first came here. With shoulder-length hair and an expensive red robe, and the delicate and powerful puppet behind her, she has become the most popular female puppeteer in Mofeng College.
When she walked to her friend Maxxis, her friends had already vacated the largest and most comfortable armchair, which also showed her centrality. However, after sitting on the chair, the expression on Nai Fei’s face became more restrained. Seeing her friend celebrating with a glass of wine, she smiled and toasted: “Thank you for your support! But I can’t drink too much, so I’ll take a sip to express it— —”
After dealing with all this, she calmed down completely, and then silently began to repair the puppet beside her.
A glass of fruit juice was suddenly handed to her. Naifei was rummaging through the parts box next to the seat. Seeing this, she looked up at her side. She raised her eyebrows, then got up immediately, and took it with both hands: "Thank you, Melinthor La...sister."
The Shadow Dragon is older than her by an unknown age, but Naifei knows that the other party accepts the title "sister" very much
. However, the two of them have not lived together all day during the past two years... It can even be said that the two of them did not interact much.
Merlinthra was studying spells at Capsmore College, and Nefer could see her almost only once in the thesis report hall on weekends.
Every time after reading the report, Merlinsera would ask her to have dinner together, and asked Nai Fei to briefly report on her recent study status. From this aspect, the Shadow Dragon is more like a strict elder, making various demands on Naifei's life, proposing various goals, and not giving pointers and correcting her learning methods.
It is considered that the Dragon Race is cultivated in this way, and it is difficult for Naifei to make progress.
Although being disciplined is uncomfortable, and the daily research and study are also very hard, but Nai Fei knows that Melinthra is actually working harder than herself—a powerful dragon is so diligent, so what reason does she have to object?
In fact, today, she is even more grateful to Melinthra for her strict demands on her. If it weren't for this, she would lose her self-motivated mind like many sorcerers in this luxurious city of Duriel.
"The puppet has a lot of room for improvement, but the idea is good."
Merlinsera glanced at the puppet covered in scars, and smiled rarely. Naifei suddenly noticed something was wrong, because Melinsera always had a sullen face in the past, and she would definitely pick out a bunch of flaws for herself to improve—she replied cautiously: "This is a semi-finished product, and there are many places that need to be revised..."
"I guess you won't have time to change this soon."
"Ah? What, what do you mean?"
Naifei glanced left and right, and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that the war will affect this place?"
"Originally, I would have been worried about this issue, but I probably won't now." Merlinsera's eyes softened: "Karen Kingdom and the Laximan Council have reached an agreement, and there will be troops coming to assist in the battle."
"real?"
Naifei's voice suddenly rose, and she immediately covered her mouth. Although she tried her best to suppress it, her voice trembled slightly: "That, that... Brother Luo Di, will he come over..."
"have no idea."
Merlinsera didn't answer the question at all, and pointed to the puppet after speaking: "According to the goal you told me at the beginning... just this kind of toy, I'm afraid it's still far away."
This made the young mages next to them look at each other in blank dismay. After all, they hated others saying that the puppets they made were "toys" - but when a famous and vicious elemental mage said this, no one in this group dared to refute.
They also knew that the puppets made by the people present might not be able to hold her little fireball at all.
Strength determines the right to speak, nothing more than this.
But when Naifei was told this, a smile appeared on her face: "Of course, 'toys' are just 'toys', and I still have my secret weapon..."
Merlinsera was not surprised, but she didn't stay for long. She stood up and said, "Go back to rest early, and don't forget to practice the spells that should be practiced. No matter whether that guy comes or not, don't slack off..."
She gave a bunch of instructions as usual, and the mages next to her listened in silence. Naifei was obviously used to it, and kept nodding her head, but at the end, she suddenly blinked and asked: "Sister Melinsera...'that guy' who is it?"
"Why, when you heard that someone might be coming, you were so excited that you even dared to joke about me?"
Merlinsera narrowed her eyes, and Nefei hurriedly begged for mercy: "Where is it, brother Luo Di really wants to come over, and it may take several months. I, I should go to review spells..."
Seeing Naifei running away in a hurry, Merlinsera couldn't hold back after all, and chuckled lightly with an "heh".
"Thought you had forgotten me..."
