One hundred and fifty-sixth Mage Instructor Kotander
Kotander cleared his throat, sat down on a stone, knocked on the land in front of him with a wooden stick, and signaled Shatili to stand in front of him. After clearing his throat, he said word by word: "Tell me, what mistake did you make this time?"
Shadili let out a hehehe laugh, scratched her head, and walked over embarrassedly. "I used a few spells to escape." It seems that such scenes often happen, both teachers and students are used to it.
"A few? I see more than a few, right? I have already noticed that the elemental fluctuations around you are a little unstable. The vortex of blasphemy may come at any time. You still want to hide it from me at this time?" The old man snorted, raised his white eyebrows on one side, and his tone became stern. He hit Shatili's finger with the obsidian ball of his cane: "You are playing with fire, little girl! You are almost unable to control the harm to the surrounding animals and plants. This is not something that a few spells can do! You'd better give me honest explanation!"
Seeing that her teacher was really angry, Shatili hurriedly put away her hippie smile. She met Kotande when she was eight years old, and was in the manor of Templar Tessian. At that time, Kotande was a beast trainer, taking care of and training camel beasts and mounts in the manor of Tessian. Shatili happened to be his assistant.
As a member of the Masked Alliance, Kotande's mission was to observe and infiltrate the Templar Tessian. The latter was ambitious and had just taken over the management of the post station area. The Masked Alliance needed to understand the changes in the policy of entering and leaving the city through him. If he could instigate him, it would be even more ideal. In addition, Kotande's mission also included finding suitable newcomers for the Masked Alliance, those who were willing to fight or even sacrifice to liberate Tyr. After several years of observation and test, Satiri gained his trust and favor. He taught her spells and brought her yearning for freedom. When Satiri was not satisfied with the light dance and asked him to teach more, Kotande asked her to join the Masked Alliance and carried out the orders without hesitation.
Shatili agreed naturally. She had long regarded magic as an important means to get rid of her slave identity, so she would naturally grasp it. Soon, she showed her extraordinary talent for magic, and at the same time she learned to hide her identity as a mage in front of the slave owner, and did a good job. So at the age of sixteen, Kotande found a new teacher for the mature Shatili, a female teacher with provocative eyes, a frivolous smile and a slim body, and taught her how to use her charm.
Afterwards, Shatili replaced Kotande and became a nail rooted in the Templar Manor of Tessian. The old man Baimei also taught her how to escape from the manor, enter Tyr City, and find the knowledge of the masked alliance contact point, and disappeared from the manor. Tessian was furious, but after finding a body that looked like an old man, he accepted his "loss" in his property.
Although he left, Kotande was still paying attention to Shatili's magic learning progress. The little girl's magical talent made her progress quickly, and also brought her huge risks. In Atas, any mage knew that when she casts magic, she would absorb life force from the surrounding environment and cause damage, which no one could avoid. The mages of the Guardian faction used a set of methods to control their own elemental affinity, so that this absorption could be wider and slightly lighter, so that Atas would have the possibility of recovering from damage and avoid real damage to a certain extent. However, people are always tired. No matter how careful they are, the Guardian may not be able to use this method after casting a certain number of spells, thus causing permanent damage.
After that, the mage will be hated by the will of the Atas planet, a magic phenomenon called the vortex of blasphemy will occur. The newly emerged blasphemy wizard will be found and the elemental control ability of his body will be destroyed. At this point, the guardian will no longer be able to use the previous methods to perform subtle control, and will completely become a blasphemer - no matter what his subjective will is.
Therefore, the guardians are very careful to control the number of spells castings, for fear that they will accidentally trigger the vortex of blasphemy energy and then become blasphemers. The guardian is a kind of practice, a kind of self-discipline, and the future of the planet Atas. If you want to reverse the fate of this world, only by sticking to the path of the guardian can you see a glimmer of hope.
The more talented a student is, the stricter he is. He is like a man holding a match in the strong wind, and would rather be burned by the fire than let hope be extinguished.
After listening to Shatili's version of "My Day's Adventure", the old man knocked on the ground with his cane and growled dissatisfiedly: "How many times have I told you to maintain your balance! So what if you use spells so frequently? I still remember the situation when you almost lost control twice before. When I think of the fate you are about to face, I was trembling with fear. You know what the blasphemer mage is like. They are going to be executed by consuming the power of the earth!"
"I'm also doing the mission. You don't know how dangerous it was!" Shatily pursed her lips stubbornly and hugged her arms: "Would I just wait for whipping, rape or killing? Not using spells but using information to obtain? Do you want me to be like that?"
The old man's face calmed down and he sighed, "Of course not." Shatili was like a family member to him, a granddaughter, and he would not let his granddaughter do that kind of thing. "Well, since this time it has not been out of control, then forget it. You must always be alert and not be a blasphemer. Always remember that it was a blasphemer like the Witch King Karak who created slavery, destroyed the earth, and ruled his inhabitants with murder and fear."
"In fact, slavery has nothing to do with whether it is a blasphemer. Blasphemy is just for the sake of strength and the power of its own rule." Zhao Mai finally found the opportunity to interrupt. "I'm very happy to see you, the white-browed hero in the masked alliance. My name is Mike, a druid."
"What, are you a druid?" Satiri and Kotande turned their heads at the same time and looked at him in surprise. "Didn't you (say) using psychic powers?"
"These two are not contradictory. Nature lies in balance and harmony. The body and spirit are both components of nature and should be able to be harmonious and unified." Zhao Mai said: "Besides, it is necessary to protect yourself with one more skill."
"The Masked Alliance has always wanted to establish connections with the druids. After all, we also want to protect nature and let the people of Atas live a good life. We heard that the power of the druids comes from nature and protect nature, but the number is too small and difficult to see. So it is very honored." Kotand said: "Satili is willing to guarantee you, but according to the rules, I also want to formally ask you, do you want to join the Masked Alliance?"
Zhao Mai knew that there were actually many problems with the Masked Alliance, such as being too idealistic, without a program of action, loose internal organization, and low strength. Well, no matter what, they finally won. Carac died, slavery ended, and the Masked Alliance gained certain power.
Since it is impossible to join the Templar, after all, the slave mark on his waist is still very fresh, how could he join the enemy? The Witch King Karak is indeed very powerful, but he is now blinded by the Dragon Transformation Technique and cannot hear any sound. He does not need warriors or strategists, but everyone else needs to die in his bloody festival. So the current situation is very simple: "I am willing to join the masked alliance."
"Of course, you can only be an intern at the moment, and we have to look at your performance. But in short, you are very welcome to join." Kotande shook hands with Zhao Mai, and then said to Shatili: "Okay, Mike is also a member now. You can tell me about the task and let's talk as we go."
So Satiri walked over, helped the old man up, and told her what she saw: "I met Ricas, and also met his brave brother Butcher. Both of them were indeed very powerful, and as you had expected before, their desire for freedom was higher than victory, higher than money, and higher than women."
"That's good. How is Taisian surveillance on them?"
"It's quite strict. After all, the high-level Templar wants to make these two men a champion and pave the way for themselves to gain higher power." Satiri said: "I've got the cook done, so I can stuff notes into their meals. This is the safest way."
"Which of them do you think is better for throwing spears?"
"Of course it's Butcher!" Unexpectedly, Shatili was still a strong fan. "Not to mention the strength advantages, I have observed that Butcher seems to be familiar with all kinds of weapons, just like he has trained specifically. He has a good wrist control when throwing darts. Not many slave owners will let the slaves be trained to throw weapons at a distance, and Rikas did not - he was entirely based on his feelings."
"Well, then you'll choose Butcher first." said the old man.
"No, I don't recommend Butcher." Zhao Mai interrupted quickly. Just kidding, Butcher and he are both characters from another world. Before, he wanted to buy Ricas under his command, but he was ruthlessly hit by the "plot". Ricas threw a spear and killed the Witch King Carac, which is the most important event in Atas's history and a critical moment of life and death. If, assuming that if "plot killing" really exists and causes Butcher to fail, it means that the Witch King may survive, and then Zhao Mai and others will die.
He quickly found a reason and said, "In the arena, the big Butcher is so attractive, and everyone will look at it. At this time, Ricas is easier to succeed. If it were me, I would choose Ricas."
Shadili glanced at Zhao Mai, "Tsk, I'm talking like you know them."
