Chapter 1553 (1/2)

Perhaps too many things happened during this day, leading us to forget the conversation with youni before cheese left the hotel yesterday and youni's reaction to that conversation.

From the perspective of cheese, he was just comforting his apprentice in ordinary times, and he skillfully grasped the range between comfort and warning, so that his image in the apprentice's mind would not be too gentle.

This is very necessary. The study of magic is not a family. Youni must always be vigilant in order to spend his apprenticeship safely. Of course, this is just a unilateral idea of cheese. The fact is that his words just hit the child's fragile heart and brought unexpected results.

That's why when the totem mage came to the hotel to take Yuni, the apprentice didn't ask or say anything. As a shopkeeper, David once thought that the mage had used some kind of mind control magic on youni, just like the piper in the story, using magic to manipulate youni's body.

Even the mage of the totem school showed an embarrassed expression and quietly explained to David before dispelling some of the shopkeeper's doubts. The two people who didn't know the cause and effect of the whole thing could only attribute this to a normal phenomenon. The messenger of ten thousand dharmas didn't regard youni as an apprentice of cheese. He thought the boy was just some kind of magic casting prop or medium.

At first glance, this self righteous is a bit scary and outrageous. How can people be props? Don't forget that the earliest magic is always inseparable from sacrifice. In primitive society, people used to sacrifice for help and protection, or simply put blood food on a regular basis to meet the feeding needs of nearby beasts.

The latter is entirely out of the transaction that life has to carry out, while the former is more like the imitation carried out by people's subconscious mind, imitating the process of the emergence and dissipation of life between heaven and earth, which is sacred. But it is undeniable that sacrifice and sacrifice are indeed one of the origins of magic.

Even now, their casting is accompanied by a price that must be paid. From a more perceptual point of view, this is still a sacrifice. Therefore, just as the so-called gourmets will cultivate the food they want from birth and even the previous generation, the casters who are capable of sacrifice will also carefully cultivate sacrifices.

In order to make their pay directly proportional to their harvest, most of their sacrifices are intelligent creatures such as rare birds and animals or people. It is said that one of the most vicious curses in history was caused by using seven Elves as sacrifices, which brought dozens or even hundreds of casualties.

This is why it is not surprising that there are children around the mages. Those children may be the descendants or apprentices of the mages, but they may also be trained to sacrifice at a ceremony, or both.

At this point, you must have understood that the totem mage took Yuni as the scapegoat for the cheese preparation, thinking that he would be used in the next spell casting.

Fortunately, the scapegoat often received the best treatment before he was really sacrificed. In order to ensure the smooth casting of cheese, the person who came to pick up Yuni didn't bring any trouble to the boy.

On the contrary, because youni is now out of his mind, the other party has to worry about the carelessness of the apprentice when walking. These two people are like children and balloons. The rope of the balloon is caught in the child's hand. He should not only hold it firmly, but also be careful that there will be no obstacles such as branches or fences on the track of the balloon. So that at this school time, the apprentices on the road would stop and look sideways, waiting for the two people to pass before moving on.

Fortunately, as the mage of the city of ten thousand dharmas, the people who came to pick up Yuni were still very familiar with the road to the totem school. They soon got on the railway and arrived not far from the totem pole safely.
