30. The Blue Castle (1)
The branch of the Magic Guild in Katra City is not large, and the branch president stationed here is just a seventh-level magician. The most powerful person he has ever met was the president of the Magic Guild. On the day he joined the company, he occasionally encountered it at the headquarters of the Magic Guild. So when he heard that the carriage of the Imperial Marshal, who was highly valued by His Majesty the New Emperor, was sailing towards this direction, he shamefully hid.
So much so that when Hayden arrived at the branch, he was greeted by a third-level little magician.
"Teacher...uh, he, la la la la la la la la la la diarrhea! He has a stomachache." The little magician felt a lot of pressure when speaking to such a big man.
Hayden thought he was born to stutter, and smiled slightly, but said nothing.
The little magician breathed a little relieved, "What can...can it be possible to help you?" Wuwu. He was sure he was not a stutter... at least until today, he was not a stutter.
Hayden said: "I want to use the teleportation magic circle to go to Ma'er City."
The little magician said, "Okay. Come with me."
Hayden asked, “Can you take my carriage with me?”
The little magician said: "Our magic array is very small, maybe, maybe no, no, no, no, no, no," he became nervous again.
Hayden smiled and said, "It's okay. I just want to ask you to take care of my carriage on your behalf, and I will pay the fee."
"No, no, okay! OK, it's okay." Even the little magician himself didn't know what he wanted to say.
Hayden said: "Then, let's go and have a look at the magic circle first."
"Ah. OK." The little magician walked forward for a while, suddenly stopped, lowered his head awkwardly.
He couldn't even bear to see what he was embarrassed about, and he took the initiative to say, "Have you forgotten something?"
The little magician's face was flushed, and he blushed all the way to his neck. He said in a voice that was nowhere to be much bigger than a fly: "Let's go, I'm wrong."
Hansen looked at him sympathetically. He just stuttered his mouth, but he didn't expect that his brain would not work. Fortunately, he was a magician, otherwise he would have been bullied, right?
"It's great to take this opportunity to see more of the Magic Guild." Hayden replied with a smile.
The little magician raised his head, his eyes flashing with a shameful and touching light.
Hansen coughed dryly and said, "Where is the right way?"
The little magician hurriedly took them back for a while, and then turned around at a fork in the road.
Although the Magic Guild was not big, the corridor was thin and long. They walked around for three minutes before they saw a simple teleportation magic array in the middle of a circular hall. The color of the gems on the magic array was a little dim.
Hansen said worriedly: "It looks like the gem has no energy anymore."
The little magician hurriedly explained, "No, don't worry. This is dust." He said, bent down and wiped each gem in turn with his sleeves.
After passing by his hand, the gem that was originally dull was slowly restored to its luster.
Hansen said in a daze: "How long has it been since no one has been here?"
The little magician tilted his head and thought for a while, "The person who came last time should be... nearly half a year ago."
Hansen was speechless. No wonder the head of the Magic Guild branch was so anxious that he had diarrhea. The business was so bleak.
The little magician said: "In the past, people liked to go to Variel City, but later they liked Mies, and there were very few people coming here."
Hayden said: "Catra is a very beautiful city. I believe that one day she will emit her unique brilliance."
"Yeah!" The little magician's face shone brightly when he heard it.
Hayden slowly walked into the magic circle and turned to look at Mondra.
Mondra was lowering her head and carefully observing the teleportation pattern of the magic circle. The space magic circle used by the Magic Guild is not the same as that used by the Undead Mage. The Magic Guild uses the principle of friction between elements to cause space distortion, while the Undead Mage uses the Undead World created by the God of Death as a transit station, spanning two places. The former consumes gems and mental power, while the latter consumes not only mental power, but also has certain risks. After all, the Undead World is the Realm of the God of Death.
Seeing that he was looking at it seriously, the little magician asked, "This was drawn by the teacher himself. Although it is very simple, it can be used."
Mondra nodded. He had used the teleportation magic circle once last time, but that time was too hasty and the magic circle was drawn too complicated, so he just looked at it roughly, unlike this time, every line and every pattern were so clear. Although there are still many unknown areas for undead magic to be developed, what Mondra is most concerned about at present is how to fully develop the potential of the witch corpse. He found that after the magician was made into a witch corpse, although he could still use magic, his power was much worse than before. On the contrary, the Undead Knight did not have this phenomenon at all.
He thought, maybe the problem lies in the use of magic.
But he knew nothing about elemental magic, so he could only analyze it by collecting relevant information.
After he saw it enough, the little magician used his mental power to activate the magic circle and lead to Ma'er City.
Under the action of the magic circle, the gems flashed brightly.
Elements are surging.
Although I couldn't see it, Mondra could vaguely feel something.
After about ten seconds, the gem's light suddenly dimmed, and the magic circle that was about to move stopped.
The little magician looked at the familiar surroundings with a confused look on his face.
Four words appeared in Hansen's mouth, "I've been disrepair."
The little magician shook his head and said, "It's impossible, this one can be used." He said, and tried it again without giving up. It was still the same as last time. The gem was activated, but the magic circle did not move.
The little magician's face turned pale and his mouth was talking about the impossible over and over again.
Gregri said: "Is your teacher… comfortable now?"
The little magician said, "I don't know."
Gregri said: "You can go and look for it."
The little magician glanced at Hayden quietly and found that he was not unhappy, so he ran away.
Hansen said, "We should have gone to Miesser if we had known it." He said, and glanced at Gregory.
Gregri pretended not to hear.
Hayden said: "Besides the magic circle is broken, what else could cause such a result?" He did not seem to want to ask others, but was talking to himself. After all, among the four people standing here, Gregory and Hansen are knights, Monica can't do magic, and the only one who knows magic is himself.
Hansen asked, "What else is possible?"
Hayden thought for a while and said, "I don't have much knowledge of space magic. But we can think about the other way around, what factors need to be used in the magic circle, so on the other hand, if there is nothing missing, it will not be used."
Hansen counted his fingers, "The gem, there is. The magic circle, there is. The mental power...ah, could it be that the little stutter just now lacks mental power?"
Mondra suddenly said: "There is also a magic circle for the destination."
Hayden's eyes lit up and nodded, "It's not necessarily the reason for the magic circle here."
Hansen muttered: "Mar City is much better than this little dilapidated city."
Hayden smiled and said, "The reason why accidents are called accidents is that before it appears, everyone else felt that it shouldn't have appeared."
After a while, the little magician came back dejectedly.
Hansen said: "Where is your teacher?"
The little magician remembered the teacher who would rather roll on the bed wrapped in a quilt and would rather move half a step. He rubbed his forehead with headache and said, "Old teacher, he can't come out."
“…”
Hansen said: "Don't he have diarrhea?" Isn't it supposed to be too irritating that it's called diarrhea?
The little magician was speechless and could only say: "I can come out at first, but I can't come out later."
Hayden didn't want their topic to continue around Laba, and interrupted, "We just had a new guess. Maybe the problem is on the magic circle at the destination."
The little magician nodded vigorously.
