Chapter 128 (1/1)
Quiet, very quiet. After Roland finished introducing herself, cheese was just a simple introduction out of politeness. He did not say how he appeared in the place where Roland found him, nor did he ask anything. The reason is very simple, because Roland said he was a friend of the teacher. Cheese has also seen several of his teacher's ”friends”, all of whom are very threatening and terrifying. In the face of these terrible predecessors, countless reckless classmates taught him the enlightenment that he would say nothing and do nothing. Now it seems that I am quite wrong to think that the old man is an ordinary man. I am afraid that the strength of this Loren mage has exceeded the scope of cheese exploration, or that he is proficient in some kind of camouflage.
Out of this defense, cheese forced himself to take his attention away from Roland. God knows if he would be angry because he was spied by himself. When cheese's attention was focused on the surrounding environment, he found Roland's carriage shed very messy, although the cheese thought at first that it was only because the carriage was freely rented. But the mage quickly found that things were not like that. Under the dim kerosene lamp, cheese could see many seemingly unrelated things, some of which even the mage did not know the purpose. For example, the cage of shivering pigeons hanging on the edge of the car. There are also airbags made from cheap animal offal that have not yet been inflated. On a closer look, cheese found that this small car actually contained so many things that people were a little dazzled.
”Why, are you interested in this?” Roland noticed the cheese's sight. He put down his pipe and took out a long handkerchief from the box beside him. Then he opened the handkerchief in front of the cheese and showed it to the cheese. The handkerchief is made of silk, but a handkerchief dyed red and not decorated with any lace will not be a very expensive commodity on the street. Just when the mage was confused about Roland's behavior, Roland folded the handkerchief in half and slowly put it into the palm of his left hand.
Although cheese didn't know the meaning of the other party's doing this, he was saved by Roland, and he seemed to be an old friend of his own teacher, so he was embarrassed to ask what the old man was doing. Soon, however, the mage was frightened by what the other side had done. When Roland pushed the whole handkerchief into his left hand with his right hand, the old man suddenly opened his left hand and his palm was facing cheese. However, the scene of the handkerchief falling did not appear, and Roland's hand was empty.
How could that be possible!? Although cheese did not speak, but his expression at the moment is shouting this sentence. You know, although cheese is very weak now, but his perception of magic does not regress, such as the transfer of objects out of thin air, he can not be unaware. Is it true that the old man has a way of casting that he can't understand? That makes sense why he can go with his teacher.
”Roar, is that surprising? What if I do this? ” The old man seemed very satisfied with the expression on cheese's face, and he laughed (only by his squinting eyes could he tell that he was laughing, and that big beard made it impossible to judge Roland's expression from his facial muscles.) Put your right hand behind the mage's head and gently pull it. The red handkerchief appears in his hand again. The mage looked at the red handkerchief and was very confused. If the magic just now was due to the mystery of the old man's left hand, he could not detect the casting in his left hand, but this time the casting was really behind his neck, but he still knew nothing about it!
It's just terrible. It's like a person who puts a sharp knife in his heart and turns a blind eye to it. This time, the old man's performance really scared the cheese. The mage's face turned a little pale. It seemed that he took the performance just now as an old man demonstrating against himself. Did he not hurt himself because he wanted to use himself as a hostage to threaten his teacher? Thinking of this, cheese feels that the cold sweat behind him has wet his clothes. This is definitely not a dispute he can be involved in now.
”Don't look at me like that. It's just a trick.” Seeing the white face of cheese and the understanding of his old friend, Roland could easily guess that cheese had misunderstood himself. He had intended to use this little trick to break the deadlock between him and cheese, but now it seems that it is counterproductive.
”Look! I'm just like this. I'll do it again. It's simple, isn't it? ” As if to prove that he had no malice, Roland performed the same technique again in front of cheese. After this performance, cheese understood why there was no magic wave just now, because Roland didn't use magic in the performance just now. He did it by simple means.
After understanding these techniques, cheese's face was slightly better, but his respect for Roland did not decrease at all. This principle is very simple. Although we all know the principle of many things, there are still a few people who can do it, such as deception. What's more, Roland's doing is much better than those swindlers who rely on language to deceive their victims. The old man has cheated his own vision! This is totally unexplainable. It is clear that everything happened in front of his own eyes, but he turned a blind eye to these things when they happened. The most terrible thing is that in this process, the old man's magic power has not been used.”How did you do it, please?” Although it's almost as impolite to ask a caster about his or her casting secret as to ask the person's real name, cheese still can't resist his thirst for knowledge. He is extremely curious about Roland's technique. Although he knows rationally that he will not get the answer and may even offend the other party, he still asks the question.
”Roar, your expression and manner is a copy of your teacher! That's what he asked me when we first met Roland was very happy when he heard about cheese. He was always happy. It seemed that nothing could make the old man sad. He put the handkerchief back and picked up his pipe. After confirming that the tobacco inside was still burning, he put it into his mouth and took a deep breath, saying.
”Attention, the key is attention, boy. Although our eyes seem to be able to see a lot of things, most of the time, we can only focus on one thing, and this will make us turn a blind eye to many things
”Attention...” It's a strange word for cheese, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with magic. Although the control of magic requires the mages to concentrate their mind, it's also a matter of one mind, which is why most casters need protection when casting spells. So, according to the old man, can the mage control the movement of his body while chanting the incantation as long as he trains his attention? When I think of it, I feel like a new door opened to the old man.
”Hey boy, I don't know what you're thinking, but I don't recommend that you apply the theory of magic to your magic. Because, well, your teacher has tried that, and he failed completely Looking at the cheese in thinking, the old man recalled his memories of being with his old friend again. He said in a low voice, ”it's really you who taught me that, even the way of thinking is the same.”
Roland's words are undoubtedly a basin of cold water, although cheese asked himself sooner or later than his teacher's day, but judging from the current situation, that day still has some time. Since his teacher has not taught his students the relevant knowledge, it means that his teacher has not been successful. Of course, it is also possible that this is his teacher's ability to press the bottom of the box, so he did not spread it easily. However, no matter what the truth is, it has eliminated the mage's intention to think deeply. After such an episode, cheese also felt that Roland did not seem to be so terrible. Perhaps for the mage, anyone who can provide him with knowledge is lovely, maybe.
”Well, I see Mr. Roland. Well, can I ask, where are we now Cheese has finally asked the question he wanted to ask as soon as he woke up.
”Where are we? Ha ha, it seems that you have been thrown a little bit badly. ” The old man sucked his pipe and lifted the canvas behind the shed with his empty right hand, revealing the scenery outside, ”we are in the outskirts of the kingdom of Cangshi.”
