Chapter 2967 Extra 15: Rat Immortal
The worlds of low-level wizards and high-level wizards are completely different.
But Colma has experience.
For her, the feeling of going from the North District of Beta Town in the Magical Depression to the First University, and stepping from the world of low-level wizards to the world of high-level wizards, was similar.
Unintelligible obscure lingo, prohibitively expensive magic materials, arrogant nobles, suspicious looks and whispers from around, etc., all concepts belonging to the 'other' wizarding world are like the sea water at high tide. An irresistible gesture rushed towards her.
She was soaked all over, shivering in the cold wind.
Fortunately, she had good luck, so she was not swept to the bottom of the sea by the tide.
But having studied divination, she knew that luck could not always favor her. At this moment, sitting in the dim light of the Sakura Tavern, listening to the chattering voice of the Mouse Fairy, the witch felt this more and more strongly - Monteria's attack on her might be a warning of fate.
Therefore, she must be more cautious.
Like now.
Her intuition told her that the fat mouse in front of her was leading the topic to a dangerous area - maybe he had no bad intentions and was simply suggesting that the witch should seize certain opportunities, but Kolma, who had been to Sanyou Bookstore, knew , I most likely have no chance, and it is too dangerous to be associated with the words 'Where is the principal?'
Even a legendary wizard like the Rat Immortal could die if he wasn't careful.
She can't live just for herself.
As the great wizard of the North District and the dean of the Fringe Academy, she always thinks more than others... and then a little more. Just like Heraclitus said, one cannot step into the same river twice, and the goddess of fate will not give the same person two identical winks.
Next time, she might not be so lucky.
Therefore, after hearing the words 'If anyone knows', the witch was a little rude and reckless, but she interrupted the Rat Immortal very forcefully: "——You, your realm has been stable?"
The fat mouse sitting behind the row of glassware raised his head in surprise and glanced at her.
"——Well, no, not really." He twirled the beard around his mouth, and shook his head thoughtfully without insisting on a whim: "What you see now is just a prosthetic body of mine. "
A prosthetic body, rather than an incarnation, means that the Rat Immortal can mobilize fewer 'thoughts' than expected.
No wonder he was so careless.
Kolma breathed a sigh of relief and continued this unexpected topic naturally: "...I remember that during the Lantern Festival, the school held a grand prayer ceremony. It was said to help you strengthen your anchor points and get out of the way. Advanced period of silence?”
“If you don’t have enough foundation, no matter how many external forces there are, the help will be limited.”
The Mouse Immortal seemed to have completely forgotten what he had discussed a moment ago. There was a trace of regret on his chubby little face, and he muttered: "To be honest, I was able to advance unexpectedly last year, which was beyond my expectation... I originally thought that I It will be wiped out. A great wizard with a solid background and strong foundation has not succeeded, so what can I complain about? People need to be self-aware, and the same goes for Shushu."
"Then when will you be able to stabilize your realm?" Korma naturally would not let go of this rare opportunity - she had always wanted to let the Rat Immortal join the Edge Academy.
Even if she has no chance to be the dean.
But being a vice-dean is not bad, especially the official vice-dean of First University. This is a position that many great wizards inside and outside the alliance will never touch.
"It will take a year and a half."
The Mouse Immortal shook his head vaguely, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he thought that the witch's position as the Dean of the Edge College, which was within easy reach of the witch, was knocked away by a big crow: "——If nothing happens to you this time, in a year and a half , maybe you will also have the opportunity to see the scenery of the legendary level... Or, after you become the edge dean, if your fingers are a little leaky, I can save a lot of hard work..."
Sure enough, he is still a mouse.
When Korma heard this, he suddenly laughed.
"Just like you have nothing to complain about your current situation, I am very satisfied to be able to become a great wizard." Even so, she still cared a little bit after all: "——Besides, you also know that I My talent is not very good..."
The Rat Fairy waved his hand to interrupt the witch.
"For wizards, talent is both important and unimportant."
This time, He was not vague, but explained very seriously: "...The important thing is that it is the threshold for you to enter the field of magic. If you can't cross it, everything will stop. Why did those wizards in the North District get raped before? Called 'Jugglers'? Just because they were blocked from the threshold. What's not important is that after you cross the threshold, the positive feedback that talent can give you will continue to decrease...and will become increasingly insignificant as your level increases. On the contrary, other traits, such as character. , such as opportunities, such as merit, etc., will gradually become apparent.
To use an old saying, ‘Children only care about the basics, adults only care about luck’. We often hear about which children have good magic talents, but who would talk about which great wizard has good magic talents?
This is the problem - in this world, very few wizards can grow to a level that ignores talent - coincidentally, you have good luck, and when you just crossed the threshold, you were dragged down by the power of fate. A state that cannot be reached in a lifetime. "
Speaking of this, the Rat Immortal couldn't help but pinch his beard again, and said with longing: "- Come to think of it, I have seen similar young people in the past two years."
The figure of a young wizard he had dealt with before flashed through his mind, and he sighed with emotion: "Sure enough, everyone is right, this is a magnificent era."
Korma had to interrupt the mouse's attempt to test the red line again.
"How did you find me?" She was very curious about why she woke up and was still in the Sakura Tavern.
"It's not me who found you, but I was arranged to take care of you."
The Rat Immortal did not take credit for it, and simply explained: "After the school dealt with Monteria, it couldn't find a reliable person to take care of you for a while... so I was called out temporarily."
A simple sentence clearly outlined the difficult situation of the North District and the Edge.
Korma lowered her eyelids and remembered what her father had said to her-at any time, don't wait for the crisis to come, but assume that they have come, otherwise, what she can do today may become "have to" do tomorrow.
