I can't be an NPC

Chapter 84 Partners
"I think your idea is very bold and appropriate. I have thought about it for a long time, and I also want to open the door to the stability of the demon tide. You know, there can't be an endless supply of monsters in this world! It's better to open a door for it to let it release monsters all the time, maybe there will be no so-called demon tide."

Living in a dark and confined space, the old lady was in a kind of frenzied excitement when she spoke, which seemed particularly strange.

Li Wen just looked around with his eyes.

The deep floor of the basement that the old woman brought him to obviously had a special layout.

A circle, like an altar, protruded from the flat ground with a diameter of about 5 meters, and two circles, one large and one small, were engraved.

Inside the ring composed of two circles, a circle of inscriptions written in magical characters is depicted.

If Li Wen is not mistaken, the purpose of this formation is...to stabilize the elemental field?

Really professional...

Sure enough, a mage like me who became a monk halfway has a different background from those old mages who have been through the years.

"About how the flash technique can open up the connection between two planes, my thoughts are like this..."

Li Wen turned his head and started casting spells as he spoke.

And in the middle of casting the spell, it stopped forcibly, so that the spell came to a strange stage.

"So...so...I...think...yes...no...yes...you can...use...this...principle...principle...in the...research...of...Magic...chao..."

Li Wen's body was looming, like a movie cassette, and even his voice started intermittently, which sounded weird as if he had lost the end.

Is this... a manifestation of half entering the etheric plane?
Miss Pie, who was on the sidelines, opened her mouth slightly and fell into a daze.

This is not a failure of the spell... but that the control over the spell is far beyond ordinary people, and he can freely control the progress of the spell.

hateful!Didn't he say that he barely learned it?

However, the old woman seemed unaware of this level of proficiency, she just looked excited.

"Wait, I'll come too."

As he said that, he also began to concentrate on casting spells - the flash spell.

The bodies of the two disappeared in place and entered the so-called etheric plane.

Miss Pie stayed alone in the dark basement alone, wanting to cry without tears.

Obviously it's three people...

"I'm coming too! Hmph!"

Miss Pie also began to cast spells.

Before the spell was finished, the figures of Li Wen and the old lady returned to the real world again, but they were no longer in the position just now.

Woooooo~ Whose teacher are you!
"By the way, remind me when it's almost 4 o'clock."

Li Wen, who was having a heated discussion with the mage's old lady, did not forget his duties in the temple.

hateful!Why are you using me as an assistant!
"Ok~"

The language smiles sweetly.

……

The two of them studied and discussed together for almost a whole day, except that they went back from 4:6 to [-]:[-] p.m. to check in and go to the meeting class...

It wasn't until his stomach growled that Li Wen realized that it was getting late.

After leaving the basement, I realized that the moon and stars in the sky outside were sparse, and the silver glow sprinkled on the earth, as if covering everything with a layer of silver gauze.

On the path leading to the house in the manor, there was a bloated and weird figure walking over with heavy steps.

Seeing Li Wen was a little creepy.

Miss Pie obviously knew it.

"It's the Necromancer faction mage."

Li Wencai saw each other clearly when they passed each other.

It turned out to be a thin old man with a big corpse on his back.

The old man, who was shrouded in the shadow of the corpse, looked at the two with a sneering look, "Another idiot who was tricked by that old woman..."

After walking over, the necromancer's voice still came, as if he was deliberately speaking to the two of them...or Li Wen heard it.

"I've been thinking about doing some great research that will change the world, but I can't even understand the basics of secondary alchemy. I'm so ridiculous~"

Miss Pie glanced at Li Wen carefully, watching Li Wen's reaction.

She knew that her mentor might not be ideal in the eyes of mages of the same level.

Li Wen looked forward, with a smile on his lips, as if he had never heard the old man's sarcasm.

After a day of contact, he also has an idea of ​​the level of Miss Pie's teacher.

A qualified Tier [-] Mage is nothing more than that.

It's not outstanding, and some questions even seem a bit stupid, and I have sought the advice of a 6th-level mage like Li Wen many times.

But, humble enough, passionate enough, enough...reassuring.

Her mediocrity doesn't change the fact that she's a terrific partner.

Li Wen often benefited a lot from the opinions put forward by an experienced scholar and mage from another way of thinking.

In the next few days, Li Wen never went to the library.

Miss Pie's teacher, Julian, has brought considerable progress to Li Wen's research.

When we parted at night, Julian looked at Li Wen with bright eyes, full of fanatical yearning.

"Master Li Wen! You are a genius! Tomorrow! Let's try to start the experiment tomorrow!"

Li Wen frowned slightly, "But doesn't it mean that there are some formation materials missing?"

"It's okay! I'll borrow money from that necromancer old man to buy it! Leave the materials to me! Just be in charge of the formation!"

"This……"

Li Wen had nothing to say, after all, he was also poor.

However, people have contributed money and efforts, which always makes Li Wen feel ashamed.

Even if all this comes from a scholar's infinite pursuit of truth.

"Okay, okay! Go back and rest, tomorrow will require a lot of energy from you!"

"Good night, then, Master Julian."

Leaving the manor, on the cold and quiet street, Irene walked beside Li Wen with her hands behind her back.

Suddenly, he ran to Li Wen quickly in two steps, grabbed Li Wen's eyes and said.

"Li Wen, you will definitely become the greatest mage in our Jianfeng City!"

As she spoke, Miss Pie turned and ran away.

In the night, the roots of his ears were blushing.

While running, the smooth calf looming under the black skirt.

Li Wen still remembered the ambitions made by the sorcerer's apprentice when he first met her.

So he asked loudly.

"how about you?"

"I?"

The mage apprentice replied while running: "I will become the second greatest mage in Jianfeng City!"

……

After parting with the girl, Li Wen walked back home.

There was a figure at the door, wandering hesitantly.

Under the darkness, he couldn't see who was coming, until he got closer, only to find that it was a person who looked familiar.

The head of the Mage Association named Eric?

Li Wen searched for this indifferent and sullen face from his memory.

"Minister Eric? Are you looking for me?"

Seeing Li Wen, the cold minister forced a smile on his face.

He waited for the rabbit for a few days, but the rabbit didn't come, which almost caused him trouble.

It was not until today that I let go of the little reservedness in my heart and took the initiative to find the door.

"Well, passing by... I remembered something about Master Li Wen, so I wanted to ask Master Li Wen for his opinion."

It doesn't look right at all.

However, Li Wen didn't show any strangeness, just nodded and said.

"Well... let's talk about it."

Entering the room, Minister Eric cut to the chase.

"It's like this. Didn't you sign a spell agreement with Master Li Wen before? There is a money gain from thunderstorms in Icacia... I want to ask Master Li Wen's opinion."

Li Wen poured him a glass of water and asked softly.

"How to say?"

"It's just that the association's funds are a little tight recently. I don't know if Master Li Wen would like to let us use your gold coins for a while. Of course, in return, the association is willing to pay some magic items in exchange."

???

It's weird...

How can you actively exchange money with magic items?

And if you want to say that this matter should be in charge of the Minister of Finance Goodkin who I met before.

and so……

Li Wen narrowed his eyes.

"Is there anything I can do to help you?"
