The Devil Inside

Page 21

The female noble from foreign countries was a recognized talented spellcaster, while the other three, including Leila, were just average.

Many students with powerful spellcasting talents are unable to obtain it, which is extremely puzzling.

They questioned Leila before she became a hero;

After Leila turned over, they questioned the only male student.

All in all, I just can't figure it out and it makes me sad.

Han Solo said: "Even if there are no obvious standards, there should be assessments. How did you become her students?"

Rachel said, "There was no test, just questions. When I first came to Teacher Monica, she asked me why I wanted to learn from her. I showed my Bloody Sword and said that I didn't want to disappoint my grandfather, and then I passed."

Yes……

Do you need to have a noble motive to become Monica's disciple?

Leila also said: "I have not experienced the assessment, and as far as I know, the other two have not experienced it either. I was also questioned at the time, and the teacher asked me why I came. I said I had no reason, but I heard that Professor Monica was very capable, so I came to ask."

Han Solo waited for a moment, and there was nothing below.

He asked, “And then?”

Leila was very frank: "Then Teacher Monica accepted me."

this……

Is this because frankness, the so-called sincerity, is the ultimate weapon?

Han Solo looked at the two equally confused girls in front of him and said, "Professor Monica seems to be a free and easy person. She accepts students based on her impression of them. If she thinks they are suitable, then they are suitable."

"possible."

"That should be it. Anyway, I didn't find anything in common."

It’s a problem. I don’t even know how to work hard.

Han Solo had no interest in Monica, whether it was the Black Mage or the White Mage. He inherited the skills of the Time Lord, so he was not necessarily worse than her in casting spells.

The key is plunder.

Including Monica, there are five people in the Shadow Chasing Society.

After several years of getting along, Leila has established a deep relationship with them. They can all become the target of plunder and should not be missed.

He said, "Now that I'm here, I have to give it a try."

"Um--"

Leila had no objection, although she was a little bothered by Rachel's secret meeting with Han Solo. However, Han Solo's calmness and courage in the dead zone of Mill Town made her look sideways, and they cooperated very happily.

It would be nice if we could be classmates!

She said, "The teacher is inside, follow me."

The three of them walked towards the interior of the mansion.

The main building of the mansion is a three-story brick and wood structure with a solemn and elegant appearance and spacious interior.

The main building is surrounded by ancillary buildings, such as the kitchen, servants' quarters, stables, etc.

There are only five people in the Shadow Chasing Association including the president. There are not many servants in the mansion, and only skilled workers are employed - gardeners and stable boys.

The repair and cleaning of the house were outsourced, and the servants' room had no meaning and had been converted into an alchemy workshop.

"Teacher, are you there?"

Leila opened the door of the workshop and greeted.

But there was no response.

The deep corridor of the workshop was dead silent. A gust of wind blew past, bringing bone-chilling coldness.

Leila frowned slightly, "Strange... did you go out?"

"It should be inside."

Han Solo shook his head slowly, his expression a little strange.

The power used by the engraver also exists in nature. It is usually called mana. It is a special energy derived from the engraving. Each engraver has different properties and gives people different feelings.

The power used by the demons is called magic power.

It is a special energy that does not exist in nature and comes from outside the universe.

When magic power is exposed to the natural environment, it will slowly weaken and dissipate, and can only exist in living bodies or be stored in special containers.

Once the magic power enters the body, it will lead to corruption immediately.

After falling, the magic power will automatically grow and proliferate on its own. Those who cannot withstand it will explode and die, and those who can withstand it will become the new king of demons.

The difference between these two powers is so subtle that ordinary people cannot distinguish it.

Han Solo...

It's the Demon King of Time.

After entering this alchemy workshop, he felt an extremely familiar energy.

"magic".

The extremely pure magic power was incomparable to what he had possessed before, but it was already more concentrated than the magic power that escaped from the dead zone in Mill Town.

There are demons in this workshop!

But how is this possible?

This is Arendelle. Excluding the outer city area, more than 80% of the residents in the floating school district are engravers, so it is difficult for demons to survive here.

The Black Mage Monica is not just a name for nothing. Even if there are demons lurking in Arendelle, they will not appear under the nose of this great mage.

unless……

"Could it be that Professor Monica is a demon? Or is she a 'demon follower' who fanatically worships the devil?"

Han Solo suddenly perked up.

It's not impossible!

"If I reveal my identity and give a tremor to Professor Monica, will she lose her mind and worship me as her king?"

It seems like there is a way forward!

"teacher?"

Leila shouted as she walked deeper into the workshop.

She stopped in front of a big door, knocked on it, and then immediately turned the doorknob. She was extremely reckless: "I'm coming in, teacher."

Han Solo moved his gaze and saw a black-haired woman with wine-red eyes at the window.

She was wearing a grey tight-fitting top with a stand-up collar. The black vertical stripes rose high under the collar and then dropped steeply, creating an extremely striking line.

The wide waistband decorated with gold buttons emphasized her slender waist, and the slim black pencil skirt showed off her straight legs.

It is difficult to describe the temperament she gives people. Simple and charming, cold and seductive, graceful and charming, which makes people...refreshing.

Han Solo quickly looked away so the other party wouldn't think he was being intrusive.

He lowered his head and looked at the piece of gold fragment in the woman's hand.

"Teacher, you are here."

Leila walked in carelessly, smiling and saying, "I was calling you just now, didn't you hear me?"

Sitting behind the table, Monica, bathed in the sun, put down what she was doing, looked at Han Solo, and said, "What's the matter?"

"Ah - how should I put it?"

Lyra scratched her head pretentiously and looked at Han Solo: "This is Han, the very capable adventurer I told you about before! He plans to study in Arendelle for a while, and his first wish is to learn the skills of casting spells under you, teacher!"

"Is it……"

The light purple magic power gathered in her eyes, and Monica's eyes were colorful, psychedelic and beautiful.

Just one glance and she understood.

She shook her head and said, "I don't think that's necessary."

Leila was stunned, not understanding why Monica said that.

Rachel stepped forward and said, "Teacher, Han...may be very talented."

"Not maybe, he really has talent. In my opinion, Mr. Han's spellcasting skills are already very mature. I don't have much to teach him. On the contrary, I have a question I want to ask him."

A strand of hair brushed past her eyes, and Monica smiled.

"Mr. Han, right? Mr. Han, to judge whether a spellcaster is good or not, you don't need to watch him cast a spell, you only need to see the trajectory of the magic power flowing in his body. This is an 'instinct' that cannot be practiced or faked.

"A third-rate spellcaster's mana is like a pool of stagnant water, clumsy and heavy, and not very useful.

"Second-rate spellcasters have abnormally disordered mana in their bodies. Generally speaking, there is a fixed flow trajectory, but there are also countless tributaries that abruptly branch off. The spellcasting efficiency is extremely low and cannot guarantee the expected effect of the spell.

"A first-rate spellcaster has a fixed flow of mana in his body, which is orderly, step-by-step, and self-contained. At this level, he can use his power as easily as his own fingers, and can cast spells stably with guaranteed results.

"Top-level spellcasters are a different breed, just like... you."

Han Solo remained calm and asked, "What about me?"

"Endless and inexhaustible. The trajectory of the flow of mana in your body is hard to predict. It seems chaotic and confusing, but it actually conforms to the laws of nature. This trajectory cannot be studied or replicated. It is your breathing and your heartbeat. It is a gift from nature and cannot be achieved by human power! Even I cannot be as...'natural' as you."

Monica's voice was not loud, but it was very firm, as if she was telling the truth.

Leila and Rachel...

I can't understand it at all.

But this did not prevent them from understanding the spirit, and they all turned to look at Han Solo.

As far as I can remember, this was the first time that Teacher Monica said, "I'm not as good as you." She is a top spellcaster famous both at home and abroad.

The simpler the nickname, the more awesome it is. When talking about “Black Mage”, who wouldn’t give a thumbs up?

Han Solo, is he that powerful?

Monica looked up and said, "You are so young, it's incredible. You... don't have any mystery in your womb, are you a natural born spellcaster?"

Chapter 27 #027 Gold Fragment

There is no mystery in the womb again. The last person who said this to Han Solo is dead.

He shook his head and said, "I'm sure I'm just an ordinary person."

"You are not ordinary."

Professor Monica smiled and ordered him to leave: "Go back, I have nothing to teach you."

"teacher……"

Leila was silent in embarrassment, and Rachel wanted to beg for mercy.

the other side.

Han Solo is unwilling to give up the opportunity, and is rejected in person, so he decides to be real.

He said, "Professor Monica, I still want to study under you."

Monica leaned her elbows on the table. "Why are you so persistent?"

"You are well-known as the Black Mage, and you don't need to prove yourself, but I am different. Even good wine needs to be hidden in a remote alley. I want to become your student. In this way, I can call myself 'the Black Mage's Disciple' instead of... 'Adventurer A'."

"…Adventurer A?"

Monica smiled.

Her two students conquered the dead zone and were reported in the newspaper. As a teacher, of course, she read the report.

Under the report photo, Han Solo is referred to as "Adventurer A".

the other side.

Han Solo's remarks surprised Leila and Rachel.

Who is this!

What he said was true, but is it really okay to say it so bluntly?
