All-round magician

Chapter 20

Shaking his head, putting aside disturbing memories, it is more important to satisfy his appetite, so Lan Nuo walked to the watermelon stand, took out his wallet and asked for a slice.One bite, this natural, pollution-free, naturally ripe watermelon is different, sweet and refreshing, delicious and juicy.

After eating the watermelon, Lan Nuo, who was about to cross the road to continue wandering, was suddenly attracted by a scenery in the opposite corner.There was an old man leaning against the corner of the opposite hotel, with a white beard, half hair that was originally light brown, and an old man wearing a shabby but clean clothes.His face is very thin, with loose skin drooping on his face, and his skin is very white. Occasionally, a beam of mischievous sunlight escapes the defense line of the leaves and jumps onto the old man's face, making that skinny old face even paler and bloodless His lips were chapped, with one or two flakes of white skin showing.The erratic Lan Nuo took out his wallet and shouted at the vendor, "Give me another piece of watermelon."

"Eat a piece of melon." There was no sympathy or contempt in Lan Nuo's voice, it was just a very flat voice, but the old man's reaction was even more flat.

He opened his cloudy old eyes, squinted at Lan Nuo, and turned his gaze to the watermelon, then took the watermelon without any pretense, and ate it.One old and one young, after eating melons, they separated again. Those who should hang out continued to wander, and those who should doze off continued to doze off.

The next day, Lan Nuo couldn't help wandering here again. The old man was still leaning against the wall and dozing off.Lan Nuo didn't know what was going on with him, but he couldn't help but want to get close to the old man. After thinking about it, maybe he missed the old and disrespectful grandpa at home.They are the same old people, but their lives are completely different.

After a whole week like this, Lan Nuo sneaked here every day to treat the old man to eat melons, but the two of them had no intersection.

But today, Lan Nuo came to say goodbye to the old man, because tomorrow he will go to study with a pharmacist named Eugene outside the city, and he will not return to the city until two months later when the Bra Primary School in Mosleys City starts. .So he planned to talk to the old man after eating the melon, but when Lan Nuo finished speaking and was about to leave, the old man who had never said a word suddenly stopped him.

"Do you want to learn magic?"

"You are..." He asked why, Lan Nuo was very puzzled.

"You don't have any magic element attributes!"

"How do you know?" Now Lan Nuo's mouth could really be stuffed into an egg.

"Is there any way you can help me?" It's no wonder Lan Nuo asked so, even his grandpa with great powers didn't have the ability.

"In order to achieve great success in magic, talent is indeed important, but what is more important is hard work." The old man's voice was still very flat, without any ups and downs.

"Didn't it mean that you can't learn magic without any magic element attributes?"

"That's just the humble opinion of the world. Look at the famous great magicians, some of them are talented people, and they didn't accumulate by sweat."

Lan Nuo recalled the records in the history books he had read. It seemed that the innate talents of those great magicians had not been mentioned. Could it be that he could also practice magic? Can't calm down.It's like a traveler walking in the desert, running out of food and water, and waiting for death, when he is suddenly told that there is an oasis 100 meters ahead, how can it not make people feel emotional.

"You, you... are you telling the truth?"

The old man smiled slightly and nodded.

Lan Nuo quickly came back to his senses and suppressed the excitement in his chest.

"Why do you want to help me?" The two have never met each other. Now Lan Nuo wants money or sex, uh, or nothing. The two who met by chance, why should others help you, just rely on a few petals of watermelon, then this The sale is also very cost-effective, it can be regarded as a huge profit, like a good thing that smashes a pie in the sky, and Lan Nuo will not easily believe in such a good thing, after all, there is no hatred or love for no reason in the world.

The old man looked at the defensive Lan Nuo with a funny face: "It's not me helping you. Whether you can become a magician in the end depends on your own good luck. I just provide you with a method. Then, take it." He took out a book and handed it to Lan Nuo.Then he added: "I'm old, this book is useless to me, it's rare to meet a kind and congenial child like you, why don't I give it to you."

The old man's words seemed reasonable, but Lan Nuo always felt that something was wrong and couldn't figure it out, so he had to give up and put his mind on the book.This is a very old book, only one or two centimeters thick. It is covered with a relatively hard skin. The pages are yellowed, but it is well preserved without even a single wrinkle. It seems that the owner of the book is very precious. This book.Opening the pages of the book, the title of the book "A Brief Analysis of the Rules of Magic" came into view.

"Why did you give me this book?" Books about magic don't come cheap, especially for older people who aren't financially well off.

Ignoring Lan Nuo's question, the old man turned the question around: "This book mainly introduces how to master the rules of magic element induction and the principle of mutual generation and restraint between magic. It is very suitable for you now. You should study it carefully."

Seeing Lan Nuoyou staring at him unwillingly, the old man had no choice but to add: "You will know in the future, we will meet again."

After finishing speaking, the old man closed his eyes and continued to doze off, obviously ignoring Lan Nuo.Lan Nuo's eyes lingered twice on the book in his hand and the old man in the corner, and finally said goodbye to the old man with suspicion, then turned and left.

But after he turned and left, the old man who was still drowsy opened his eyes, but his cloudy old eyes looked extremely clear, and there was a trace of scorching light from them, which closely followed Lan Nuo's back.

Sometimes if you don't look for trouble, it doesn't mean that trouble won't come to your door. Accidents always come to people who are unprepared inadvertently.

It is said that after saying goodbye to the old man, Lan Nuo has been absent-minded, his mind is filled with the joy of being able to learn magic, his mind has been turned off, and he is in a trance.In fact, his current situation is also understandable. It's like a person who has been in the dark, living a life as dark as his fingers, and suddenly one day, he was told that you can live in the sun. How can this be? Can not make people ecstatic.

"Boy, do you want to fight against injustice?"

A pig-killing cry woke up Lan Nuo, who had been immersed in his own thoughts. He raised his head and found that he had walked into an alley unknowingly. There were four children aged six or seven were fighting inside. When he walked in, they all stopped and looked at him. The one who spoke just now was the fattest child among them.

These children were somewhat injured, but one of them was more serious. His eyes were a little swollen, and some blood that had dried up was scattered all over his face, and the clothes on his body were torn to pieces. , also stained with a little blood and dust.The faces of the other three children were much less injured. The three of them stood together. It was obvious that it was three against one just now, and the fat man who just made the sound was the leader.

Lannuo looked at the children coldly, and the children couldn't help but beat a nap. It was so terrible, which was colder than the eyes of the favorite teacher in the school.Not intending to meddle in other people's business, anyway, children fighting will not lead to fatalities, Lan Nuo turned around and walked straight forward without changing any direction.

Seeing that Lan Nuo was about to leave without replying, the leader of the fat man couldn't hold back his face. You must know that he has long been the king and hegemony among the children in this area because of his family's wealth and his own strength. The younger child ignored it, and what was even more hateful was that the child still looked at him with that kind of disdainful and cold eyes, thinking that he had never suffered this kind of anger since he was born in the womb.No matter what today, he has to get his face back, otherwise how can he mess around in front of these kids in the future.

"Hey, boy, you don't want to weigh injustice, but you don't weigh how much you weigh." While talking, he raised his fist towards Lan Nuo.

Lan Nuo couldn't bear it any longer, and burst out laughing. This scene is as funny as you say it is. It's like a little girl wearing her mother's high heels standing among her classmates and proclaiming "I'm growing up!" "It's as funny as it is, and it can only be described in four words: neither fish nor fowl.

Lan Nuo's laughter angered the fat man, his chubby face was flushed with anger, his shoulders kept shrugging, he took a deep breath before running to Lan Nuo and shouted angrily: "You look down on me, for the sake of fairness For the sake of it, I want to fight you one-on-one, and when you lose, kneel on the ground and give me three bangs, maybe I’ll accept you as my younger brother if I’m in a good mood!” After speaking, her nostrils turned to the sky, and she raised her head, Lan Nuo could only sigh, he had never seen such a narcissist before.

Turning to depression, within a few minutes, I was continuously "beaten up" and "looked down on". These days, I only heard of being married and pregnant. When is it popular to be "fighted", yes, it is Getting into a fight, seeing the fat man's angry posture, this fight is inevitable.

"The three of you go up together." Lan Nuo really didn't mean to discriminate against them by saying this. Although he was younger than them, after all, he had fought in the hail of bullets in his previous life and had rich practical experience. Having practiced Taekwondo for nearly a year, it is much better than this group of kids who only know how to use brute force. That's why I asked them to come together. Firstly, it's a quick battle, and secondly, he feels better. Some, otherwise I always feel that I am bullying the children.

"You, you...you look down on people too much, I'm going to beat you all over the place." It's a pity that a certain kid who was in anger didn't appreciate it.

While talking, the fat man raised his fist and rushed towards Lan Nuo. Lan Nuo saw the fat man's body like a hill rushing towards him at the speed of a [-]-meter race, and had to admire his speed. Comparing this weak and small body, he still decided that the hero would not suffer the immediate loss. He turned around and dodged to the left. Because the fat man had too much momentum, he didn't have time to brake, and fell all of a sudden.
