Wizard From Afar

"Can I come in?"

Although it is a polite question, the man waiting outside the door has an unquestionable tone, courtesy Sexual buttoning is also like a wake-up call.

The little wizard crouched on the door alertly, staring at the patient man outside the door from the gap, tightly pursing his mouth, not even daring to take a breath.

Connold Dessalion...what is he here to do?

The door was not locked, and the grim-faced Connold knocked on the door again:

"His Excellency Ain Rand, I know you are inside—if you don’t want to I can go in and tell me directly, there is no need to pretend to be stupid."

There is still no response behind the door.

"Okay..." Prince Sackland didn't have a half annoyed expression: "His Excellency Ain Rand, I wish you a good mood, I'm bothering you."

The little wizard behind the door took a deep breath, took a deep breath with all my strength. Firmly clenched the handle and pushed the door open.

"Sorry, Prince Connold."

"There is nothing to be sorry for, His Excellency Ain Rand." Connold, who was about to turn away, stopped. The grim face showed a hint of gentleness, still in the indisputable tone:

"Can you let us come in and talk, the winter in Duanjieshan is too cold."

Of course the small wizard refused, especially when she faced Prince Sackland, she couldn't think of any good reasons—the majesty, the imposing manner and the expression, and the approachable and talkative Brandon was completely pros and cons.

The room is a reading room that is neither too big nor too small. The fortress of Duanjieshan also has a large number of alchemists and Potion Masters, serving as Legion's auxiliary soldiers for the fortress of Duanjieshan. Many of them were recruited from East and West Sackland by temporary orders. There were also apprentices from the Wizard Academy who had to join the army because they could not afford high tuition.

Although Holy Cross Church protested and opposed countless times, a good Potion Master can save hundreds of wounded soldiers, and a skilled alchemist is an indispensable talent for Legion's logistics.

Holding the water glass in his hand, the little wizard sat opposite Connold with his head down All made her nervous to fidgeting.

No matter how sluggish, Ayin still knows that the royal prince’s relationship with Brandon is at odds, and Loren is Brandon’s wizard advisor-she is not Isaac, and of course knows what this means. what.

"Don’t be so nervous, His Excellency Ain Rand; I just stopped by and suddenly wanted to say hello to you."

Connaught calmly opened the mouth and said: "You don't need to worry about what I will do to you-yes, my relationship with Brandon is not very good; but I am not my younger brother who likes to fool around, nor will I deliberately hurt the innocent people around him. "

"In fact, in addition to saying hello by the way, I want to thank you more."

"Thank me?" The little wizard's face A trace of confusion flashed through, and he didn't expect the other party to say that at all, and looked towards him in a daze.

No...It should be this majestic Prince Sackland who would also express his gratitude to others?

"Hug, sorry, but I don't quite understand..."

"The alchemists of the fortress, they have already told me."

Connor De slowly opened his mouth and interrupted Ai Yin's words: "You helped them complete a simple formula that allows the fortress to use only materials to make the firelighter even when the supply is cut off at the rear, although the formidable power and effect are slightly less. It is inferior, but at least it is effective."

"For this, as the commander of the fortress of Duanjieshan, I must express my most sincere gratitude to you-and I can assure you that Dujieshan The fortress will never forget your achievements. We will use your name to name this new type of ignitor!"

"Use my name?!"

Just now Ai Yin, who was drinking, almost sprayed Connold's face directly:

"no no no...you, you are so polite! It's really nothing, I just helped out; fortress The alchemists of Japan are already almost succeeding, even if they don’t have me, it’s just a matter of time!"

"Without you, they would have to be at least four or five years to succeed, at least." Connold looked on. Looking at the somewhat cramped Ain Rand unchangingly:

"His Excellency Ain Rand, your four-day work alone has surpassed the ten-year work of twelve alchemists. You definitely deserve this. An honor."

"Thank you for your compliment..." The slightly excited little wizard blushed slightly, but still maintained the most basic sense-she did not forget that she was the person in front of her , Almost killed all of them while in the camp.

It was also his order to put the innocent Loren in jail, and also hanged Isaac's father as a deserter.

This person is Loren's enemy, not worthy of trust.

"I am a devout believer in the Holy Cross, but this does not prevent me from admiring and respecting your alchemists."

Connold opened the mouth and said softly, Right hand tapping on the desktop seems to be thinking about something: "Do you know what made Desalion Imperial Family resist the opposition of Holy Cross Church, and also vigorously develop alchemy and pharmacy in Sacrament?"

The little wizard shook his head politely, waiting for the answer.

"Because unlike other wizards, you are down to earth. Every experiment you do has an accurate and unmistakable goal. Whether you fail or succeed, what you do is meaningful. It can actually have an impact on everything around and on the other side."

"Your pragmatism has conquered the down-to-earth Zacklanders; and the clarity and perseverance of the goal is the real alchemist’s What's great!"

Heard the little wizard here, even though he understood that the other party was showing good intentions, he couldn't help straightening his back, slightly nodded.

"Pragmatic, and with clear goals...a great quality." Connold almost lamented slowly said:

"Unfortunately, this quality is getting more and more ugly It’s here—for example, my younger brother, Brandon Desalion; and his wizard advisor, your friend...

Loren ·Torino, they can’t see it on their bodies Such a quality."

The smile on Ai Yin's face gradually faded, and the pupils of little by little spread: "You, what are you talking about?"

"They are all smart, They are very good at avoiding their own mistakes, using the surrounding environment and the only resources to gain an advantage, and making the situation beneficial to them. In this regard, even I admire them.

So maybe they Very pragmatic, but do they really have a clear goal?

Or...Do they really know what their ultimate goal is? I doubt it very much.

Because of Your big brother fights against Tian Chao to win a victory, or pursues lost knowledge while looking for opportunities for revenge-these are not clear goals, because you can't find the criteria for success.

I have known your friend Loren, he is indeed very good at controlling the situation, very efficient when completing a certain task; and Brandon is also very similar, the number of failures can be counted on one's fingers.

A person’s life should have an'ultimate goal', and everything else must be served for this.

But they don’t know what their goal is, just like... The fish on the sea try their best to find the waves that can take advantage of the momentum, cross the rapids one after another, survive the crisis again and again, and get what they want;

but they don’t know the goal Where is the end point; just upstream; their'goal' is close in front of them, can be reached and obtained quickly.

That can't be called goal, at least not the one you need It takes at least forty years to pursue the goal of the plan-so you can only see the person in front of you, never understand what it is like to see the person 40 years later, and what kind of thought it is.

Just like Brandon and your friend Loren can never understand, I want to kill my younger brother but protect his ambivalence as much as possible.

For the empire, a'dragon rider' The value of 'is immeasurable; but also Brandon’s potential destructive factors are also immeasurable.

They can’t see it, so they won’t understand how I did it, or guess my plan. , This is their weakness."

Kang stood up silently after putting down the water glass in his hand. Nord looked sternly at the little wizard who forced himself to be calm:

"If your friend can come back alive, please tell him what I said today. "
