Chapter 12 The Great Juggler

“One day, when people talk about jugglers, they won’t picture dirty, imbecile, or overly funny clowns in their minds.”

"They will have a little more respect for the term because of a certain 'magician' who lives in the North End."

"The magicians in the North District no longer worry about this title... Maybe their spellcasting ability is still not outstanding enough, but it is enough to give them the courage to say 'no' and give them enough strength to stand up straight."

"that's enough."

Kolma squinted her eyes slightly, looking out the window at the silent gray-robed magicians, murmuring her innermost wishes. Her voice was very soft, but the words she carried were extremely heavy.

This heaviness intertwined with Kolma's snowy silver hair, outlining a suffocating pressure - Zheng Qing desperately needed a new topic to get rid of this suffocating feeling.

Obviously, Jiang Yu also has such a need.

"Before I came here, I thought I would watch the scene of dragons and phoenixes dancing on top of the house." The witch held a glass of warm orange juice in her hand and tried to lighten the atmosphere with a more relaxed tone: "...I haven't graduated from college yet. Reaching the rank of Grand Wizard at the age of less than twenty-four... The time you spent to become a Grand Wizard was even much lower than Su Shijun's record back then."

Hearing this, Zheng Qing nodded repeatedly, but then slowly frowned.

Indeed, Korma's achievement as a great wizard is not only a great event for the North District, but also for the entire wizarding world. Schools should have every reason to celebrate such achievements.

But if he hadn't followed Jiang Yu to the North District and Gudiao Street, he wouldn't even know about it!

In yesterday's and today's newspapers, the most discussed topics were about the half-street destroyed by Lei Zhe and Augustus, as well as a few ethical discussions involving Nicholas' blood-picking, and sporadic explosion suspicions deep in the silent forest - and this is the real Not a single reporter reported the news that was worth writing about or writing about.

This is inconsistent with Zheng Qing's understanding of those media. To be honest, one day is enough for those quill-wielding reporters to circle the earth. There is no reason to ignore this big news in the North District of Beta Town, which is so close at hand.

Jiang Yu also seemed to realize that the new topic he threw out was not appropriate.

So she picked up the cup and drank a few sips of the juice honestly.

Kolma smiled and raised a cup of Green Bee to Jiang Yu: "Thank you for your compliment. But this is not something worth celebrating."

As if she was worried that the two young guests would not understand, she briefly explained the attitude of the school and the Wizards Union: "As you know, I used a very clever method to advance this time... Others may not be like me. Luck can pluck wool from foreign gods."

"But most people don't necessarily see the shadow behind the glamor. Knowing that there is a shortcut to success, they can't help but try. This is human nature and cannot stand the test... If someone really tries my way, it will be A huge tragedy, no doubt about it.”

"So, in order to prevent more young wizards from going astray, the alliance and the school have chosen to deal with this matter coldly... I personally very much agree with this choice."

"But it's not fair to you." Even if he understood the school's approach, Zheng Qing still needed to express his stance on standing with the owner of the Gini Hut.

"There is no fairness in this world. After living in the North District for so long, I have long forgotten how to write those two words." The newly promoted great wizard smiled lightly:

"Fame or glory are not what people in the North District pursue... I have a chair in the Grand Wizards' Conference, I have a share in the Wizards' Alliance, and the magicians in the North District of Beta Town have also gained a new 'Tao' Road', I'm very satisfied."

"Furthermore, because this advancement is a 'destroying a talent', my future development direction has been completely shrouded in the huge shadow of Tsathogya. If I don't want to slowly become his incarnation in the future, then give up for the rest of my life. Going further on the path of wizarding is my only choice.”

"My presence is also a danger factor for the Wizards' Union. Being able to keep a low profile is good for everyone."

As soon as the words fell, the tavern fell into an unusual silence for a moment.

It is true that Kolma's choice has certain moral factors, but Zheng Qing feels that her choice is more because she has become the spiritual mentor of tens of thousands of new wizards in the North District - this power is not only for the school but also for the Wizards Alliance. , are too dangerous.

I'm afraid that the old men of the school and the Wizards' Union are still meeting in a small dark room to discuss how to face this new force and how to squeeze out a little more cream from the interests that have long been divided to satisfy the new wizards. belly.

Zheng Qing took a sip of the green bee in the cup.

The green wine became extremely cold under the influence of ice cubes, and there was a slight stinging sensation in your mouth when you drank it. This made him more focused and more awake.

"How did you give them the ability to cast spells?" When the cup of Green Hornet bottomed out, Zheng Qing finally couldn't help asking this question that he had been curious about for a long time: "...I mean, Professor Monteria We are also doing experiments on blood magic, maybe you can have space for cooperation."

This suggestion came to him in a flash of inspiration. Although the possibility is low, if we can find one or two allies with common interests for Kolma in the school, it will definitely be much better than her struggling to hold on in the North District alone.

The owner of the Gini Hut smiled bitterly.

"It has nothing to do with blood magic." As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed at the tadpole-like mark between her eyebrows: "Rather than saying that I gave them the ability to cast spells, it is better to say that this is a gift from an outside god."

"This mark allowed me to receive feedback from Tsathoggua's residual power when the magic circle collapsed, and finally broke the shackles of the registered wizard and became a great wizard. Therefore, I imitated this mark and combined it with the sacrifice in the magic circle With the principle of feedback, the magician is given a curse seal with the power of the great wizard."

"A curse seal that can absorb life force and convert it into magic power."

"Have you seen the frogs held in the hands of those wizards? That is the source of their power when they cast magic. As a metamorphosis creature, the life force of frogs is the easiest to convert into magic power... Of course, if you don't have a frog on hand, use your own life You can also perform magic."

As he said that, Kolma smoothed the silver hair hanging down on his shoulders and suddenly laughed again: "If you come in the morning, you can still see the investigators of the Wizards Alliance. Because the number of frog deaths has increased significantly in a short period of time, the Trident Sword has been alerted. Investigators. They thought it was some terrible dark wizard performing some kind of ritual."
