Chapter 208 The Legendary Magician Who Lived for Over a Year
Some spells require locking onto a target in order to successfully channel energy.
Some are non-targeting spells, which can be thrown out like bombs, and there is actually a difference between them.
Clearly, the latter requires the magician to have a stronger control over magic.
One of the weaknesses of spells is that single-target spells almost always require locking onto a target...
Aside from the ice mage's Blizzard area-of-effect spell and the fire mage's Flame Storm... these two high-level spells actually require targeting a specific area beforehand, channeling the spell's energy, and also require chanting and maintenance...
It is easy to be interrupted and avoided.
The newcomer seemed to completely ignore Rolin's magical attack. He slowly approached, disregarding the fireball spell that hit him.
Roland excels at ice magic, though he's not entirely unskilled in fire magic. With a foundation in arcane magic, talent can be altered... In later versions, frostfire and torment fire mages became even more powerful... At this point, Roland used fireballs to illuminate the area and see who was approaching.
The newcomer ignored the fireball; he even absorbed it...
The other party seemed to be a black hole, approaching Rolin in the shadows.
Roland was a little nervous. Under the light of the fireball spell... he suddenly realized that he was in a completely enclosed space with no ventilation. Only a faint glow from the purple patterns inside a mosquito lamp allowed him to see a little of his surroundings.
The pale purple light was the residual energy emanating from the inscribed magical runes...
Very faint, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
"Did you hear that? I was just saying hello before. If you get any closer, I'll get serious. Don't blame me for not saying hello first. Don't you understand Chinese?"
The other person seemed to hesitate for a moment upon hearing the word "Chinese" and stopped in their tracks.
The sound of moving chains stopped abruptly.
A face suddenly appeared, its two empty eyes staring straight at Rolin.
"Oh my god!"
Roland was so startled that he immediately used Blink, but he suddenly realized something was strange. The Blink range was very narrow, almost touching the wall... and the face followed him like a shadow...
Luo Lin swallowed hard, too afraid to move.
Even his disciple Lorraine inside him was terrified and fell silent...
Perhaps it was because he was thinking about his apprentices watching over him...
Luo Lin forced his stiff body to stand upright, tilting his head back to glare at the other party, "What kind of monster are you? State your name!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his face suddenly twitched, as if it were about to fall apart...
It also seemed as if the years had etched countless wrinkles upon it, making it appear withered, frightening, and eerie.
"You're killing me, little guy. I didn't expect you to be a high-level mage... proficient in all three elements, not bad. Very promising. I haven't seen a genius like you in a long time... but judging from your face, you don't look like a local..."
After all that, it turns out that the scary face opposite was smiling...
The other party didn't seem to have any ill intentions and was even talking.
With a clatter of chains, Lorraine heard a snap of fingers, and the surrounding environment was instantly enveloped in the dazzling white light of the sun... Lorraine finally saw the face of the person who had appeared.
The chains were indeed fastened to the limbs of the person... but there was a lot of slack left so that the bound person could move.
The owner of the horribly wrinkled face was an extremely aged old man...
Even more hunched and withered than Lorraine's true form, it seemed that apart from her disheveled white hair, she was nothing more than a skin covering her bones...
The other person was an old man, and he smiled.
But it's even more terrifying than crying...
"Ah, stranger. I suppose you've been looking for me all this time?"
Surprised, Roland turned around; three minutes had already passed. He had very little time to control his body; he needed to complete his task...
"Looking for you? Who are you?"
"There's no mistake, you have that aura... Aegwynn knows I'm here, and she knows I've voluntarily been imprisoned here. Sending you here, is it because she's finally willing to take on her responsibilities?"
"what?"
Luo Lin was still a little confused.
The apprentice was getting anxious!
"Teacher, it's him. He's the target. He's the one we're supposed to save! He's the target Ms. Aegwynn specified. Haha, we've found him."
Luo Lin chided, "Just because he says so, doesn't mean it is! You young man, you're so impatient. What a coincidence! We just switched over, and the mission is already complete... Why did we even switch over..."
The apprentice fell silent upon hearing this, then muttered, "What if he is? Anyway, we've found him and switched back, so I wouldn't object. It's just weird to only be able to watch."
"Hey, you're only just realizing you're not feeling well? I've been watching you go crazy for over ten days now. No way, at least ten minutes. I'm going to show you the power of my newly mastered Frostfire Spell!"
"Frostfire magic? Is it as powerful as a necromancer?"
"That's incredibly powerful, simple and brainless, a magic cannon, double critical hit bonus..."
Roland and his apprentice started chatting privately again...
The old man opposite him remained silent for a long while. "Frostfire is theoretically feasible; both magical energies can be released simultaneously. In fact, arcane magic can be stacked, not just frostfire, but arcane fire and arcane ice are also good..."
"Don't interrupt... I... um?"
Luo Lin looked up in surprise and discovered that the old man opposite him could also hear him and his apprentice talking.
Could he really be the target Aegwynn has decided to rescue?
That's amazing, it really seems like...
"you?"
“Little one, don’t whisper. I know who you are… In fact, we know a lot about magic. The Council of Tirisfal is the overseer of magic because we have made many mistakes in the past.”
"who are you?"
“Me? I am Merry & Eastwind. You can call me the first necromancer of Dalaran, or a necromancer... My friend Alodi and I founded the Council of Tirisfal.”
The other party got straight to the point, much to the delight of Luo Lin and his apprentice.
Carefully reading through the magical images of his previous memories, the blurry figure overlapped with the withered old man before him...
He really is the target!
"Meli & Winterwind? I don't think I've heard of that?"
The old man chuckled. "Yes, for thousands of years... this name has long been forgotten... Of the first three hundred human magic apprentices in Dalaran, I wasn't the most outstanding, yet I've survived to this day. I don't even know if I can be considered a living person."
Merri snapped his fingers again, and suddenly a stool appeared beneath Lorraine and him. Upon closer inspection, the two stools seemed to have come to life; they crawled under the two men's bottoms on their own, and Lorraine was directly sucked onto the stool.
"I'm getting old, I need to sit down..."
As soon as Merri raised a finger, Rowling, who was about to speak, found his mouth sewn shut and could only stammer.
That's a kind of forbidden magic.
Rowling seemed to have heard of it somewhere before, but this time he was forcibly silenced.
"Listen to me, I won't go back. This is my home. I know what you want to say, and I know why Aegwynn summoned you. Her concerns are valid... There is indeed a power in this world that mortals cannot comprehend, influencing all living beings. However, it is not omnipotent. The fate of mortals is still in their own hands... It's up to you to choose..."
Luo Lin looked puzzled.
He didn't care that he couldn't understand what the other person was saying; what he cared about was that the transformation time was very short, and five minutes were about to pass.
That's good if you can complete the task.
If I can't finish it, I'll go out and have a fight to loosen up my muscles and relieve the frustration I've been feeling lately!
“The old Tirisfal is indeed gone... I am a dead man too. But I have heard that the forces of evil are growing stronger. The crisis in Dalaran will only increase, and the Council of Tirisfal certainly needs new members. And you are a good member.”
"You have two souls in your body, you possess qualities that others do not have, and you are a mortal."
"These three points are crucial for you or your group to join the Guardian ranks. Take this; it's the main body of my staff and my token. Go back and tell Aegwynn that your mission is complete. Her future is uncertain; her descendant, that Guardian's offspring, is currently in a precarious situation, sealed away in another dimension..."
Roland couldn't speak; his mouth was sewn shut...
I wonder if the old man thought he talked too much...
His question was written all over his face...
"You don't need to know too much; it's not the right time yet. Just take this message and my token back. Also, I heard the Holy Light has been corrupted, and that kid Faron is secretly gathering people... I think someone went to see her last time..."
"The Guardian Family... still needs to hand over power to the Council."
"I hereby declare Lorraine/Lorraine, from this day forward, you are an official member of the Council of New Tirisfal. Keep this Kirin Tor mark safe; you can come find me anytime... Get lost, kid, I know you're in a hurry... Also, don't curse me in your mind; I hear everything that happens in Dalaran..."
A flash of white light appeared before Rolin's eyes, and in an instant, he was beneath the statue of Anton Danis... The ground around him was littered with corpses, seemingly humans, Forsaken, dwarves, and orcs...
