Chapter 22: Shadows under the light

　　 In the castle area in the center of Vendôme, there is a majestic mage tower made of white boulders with a gray-blue spire, which belongs to the famous arch mage Disentas on the mainland.
　　As an archmage, Disentas is well-known for his ambitions. Almost all questions can be answered by him. This gave him a nickname called ‘The Living Encyclopedia’.
　　His disciples are all over the world, and many accomplished magicians on the mainland have been under his guidance. When they see him, they will respectfully shout: mentor.
　　 Such a wise, tolerant, and generous archmage is naturally widely loved. In terms of strength, he is not as good as the green dragon incarnation of Viana, but in terms of high reputation, Viana, who has kept a low profile, is far inferior to Disentas.
　　In the world of wizards, although there is no explicit explanation, the wizards all agree that Disentas is the spiritual leader of the wizards.
　　 But today, in the dark underground chamber of the Mage Tower, Archmage Disentas has thrown away his coat of light and turned into darkness.
　　 He was wearing a black hooded cloak, and the cloak was annoying with black mist, which made him look like a shadow.
In front of him is a weird-looking statue. This is a race that does not exist on the Starlight Continent. He is roughly in the shape of a human, but he has horse-like legs, hooves, and a knife-like head in the middle of the head. Corner, the face under the knife horn is hideous and terrifying, and is making an angry roar. The blood-red light is emitted from the pair of eyes. No matter what angle it turns, there is a feeling of being looked directly at.
　　 This statue is almost alive.
　　 Disentas bowed and stood in front of the statue, and a respectful voice came from the bottom of the hood: "Alous, the angry master, I have to tell."
　　 With these words, the light in the statue's eyes became more and more dazzling, and a passive voice sounded in the secret room.
　　 "Go ahead, mortal, but the master doesn't like bad news."
　　 "..." Disentas trembled slightly, and finally said, "Because of an accident, our plan was noticed by Archmage Viana..."
　　 "Stupid!" The voice suddenly became louder, with violent anger, and exploded like thunder: "Disentas, you have failed the master's expectations."
　　 "I know, I know, I'm guilty." Disentas was humbled, almost kneeling on the ground. He has always avoided provoking Vianna, but his subordinates, those followers who could not fully comprehend his intentions, pretended to Vianna's spell crystals. God knows, when he knew the news, he wanted to make it himself. The soul of the idiot who advocates burned with flames for a thousand years!
"Make up for your fault, before it becomes unforgivable. There is less than a year left, and there must be no mistakes in the master's plan." Alous's voice became low and seemed to calm down, but Disentas could hear the hidden storm.
　　 "Yes, I will try my best, this time I will never make any more mistakes."
　　 "No, it must be successful."
　　 "Yes, it will succeed!" Disentas quickly promised.
　　 The light in the eyes of the statue of Alous dimmed, silent. Disentas stayed in place for a long time before regaining his strength, stood up, and staggered out of the secret room.
Out of the secret room, he took off his black cloak, and when he walked to the hall on the first floor, Disentas had returned to normal. He returned to his room and went to the window. After thinking about it, a white light appeared on his hand. It turned into an ordinary bird and fluttered out.
　　 This is the communication bird, the communication method of the mage above the intermediate level, it is secret and effective.
　　…………..
　　Because the goblin camp has passed, the black hand behind the scenes has also withdrawn. According to the cautious character of the opponent, Dai Wei should not be assassinated, so when the plan was agreed, Luo Lin followed Dai Wei back to her beach villa.
　　 Of course, just in case, Vianna gave Da Wei an instant protection scroll. Once there is danger, activate the scroll, and immediately get a powerful shield to protect her life.
Of course, Vianna did not forget Luo Lin and gave him a small gift. It was a crystal pendant. This is a magical instrument. The crystal in the pendant is filled with life energy. Wearing it can nourish the body and accelerate the injury. Recovery, at a critical moment, the crystal will burst, releasing energy at one time to help him resist a fatal injury.
　　 Anyway, this is a good thing.
The carriage was galloping, Luo Lin was fortunate to sit in the same carriage with Dai Wei. After leaving the castle area, Dai Wei sighed, looked at Luo Lin and sighed: "My little tiger, I know, your talents are far more than just one. Samurai of the Home Care Institute, you are growing fast. I am happy for you and a little sad. You will leave me soon afterwards."
　　Perhaps because she had faced life and death together, Dai Wei no longer treated Luo Lin with politeness as before, but expressed her heart directly without concealing her thoughts.
　　 Luo Lin felt this change. This was a sign of closeness. This mage apprentice no longer had a condescending conversation with him as he used to.
　　 He said sincerely: "No matter what happens to me, I will always remember your help to me."
　　 "With you, I feel better." Dai Wei smiled slightly, but she could see that her mood was still not high.
　　 No words all the way.
　　 When he arrived at the villa, Luo Lin logically became the new captain of the guard and protected Dai Wei with him.
Naturally, he also got better treatment. There was a new room on the third floor of the villa. Dai Wei also specially ordered the kitchen to prepare him ample food separately. This made the other three guards in the villa enviable, but they couldn’t. Jealous, because this young man named Luo Lin is so tough, he can kill the assassin one-on-two, not to mention, but also defeat Harlem, this force is really terrible!
　　 Next, Luo Lin began to cultivate his body quietly. He would practice martial arts in the backyard.
I shouldn’t have been here because this place will noisy Dai Wei who is studying in the alchemy room, but Dai Wei doesn’t care. She likes the noise from the window and can often feel the presence of this guard, which will not distract her. , But made her feel safe.
　　 Five days passed, Luo Lin's body not only completely recovered, but also reached a new peak.
　　In the martial arts training ground, Luo Lin felt that his energy was filled with energy. The steel sword in his hand became as light as a feather, and the shield was as deftly as it was in his hand.
Through these few days of training, his proficiency in various basic sword and shield skills has risen greatly, reaching the level of proficiency, and his combat technique "stabs" has even reached the threshold of exceeding proficiency and reached the level of "excellent". Activated faster and more deadly.
"Wisdom brain, how has my physical quality improved?" Luo Lin felt that his body was better than ever. These days, with the nourishment of life pendant and the assistance of Wisdom brain, his weight has at least increased. Ten catties.
　　 Now, his body has changed a lot, he can't see any thinness anymore, and he can even feel a sense of strength.
　　 In Dai Wei's words, he rose up like a balloon. Now, his former acquaintances will never recognize him, and the instructor's transmog spell can be directly omitted.
　　 "Intelligent brain, how is the progress of my physical quality improvement?" Luo Lin asked, he was concerned, the physical quality is related to the amount of improvement he can increase each time, and it is more important than other improvements.
　　 "Current progress: 55/100, estimated completion time: one week."
　　 "Why is it so much slower than the previous time?" Luo Lin puzzled.
　　 "Reason 1: Repairing hidden injuries to the body and spending extra energy. Reason 2: The current host level is 6, the starting point is increased, and more energy is needed to strengthen."
　　 "Understood." Luo Lin suddenly, the reason is very simple, a mouse and an elephant, the quality is the same, obviously strengthening the elephant requires more energy. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
In the afternoon of the fifth day, Luo Lin practiced martial arts as usual. A bird covered with emerald green feathers flew over and landed on the arm of the wooden dummy in front of Luo Lin, watching with big mung bean eyes. Luo Lin, tweeted twice, and then began to talk.
　　 "It seems that you are recovering well these days." It is Vianna's voice, because it comes from the bird's mouth, and the sound quality is more crisp.
　　 "Thanks to you, I feel my power is stronger than ever before." Luo Lin laughed. This bird is Vianna's magic messenger, and this is done to keep the plan secret.
"This is really good news. Dai Wei is right. You do look a lot stronger, and your appearance has changed a lot. You only need some small adjustments, and no one will recognize you." The bird smiled. The bird moved its claws and grabbed a small scroll from its ankle.
　　 "This is a deformed scroll. The effect is very good. It can last for a month. You take it and use it at the right time."
　　 "Understand." Luo Lin took the scroll.
　　 "Very good. Let's start with our agreed plan. I look forward to your good news."
　　 "I won't let you down, Master Archmage." Luo Lin saluted.
The memory of his previous life is not comprehensive. Most of them can only be used as a reference. The longer the time, the more history is changed and the less value will be. But now, this memory can help Luo Lin find it quickly. Tracing the entrance to the destruction of the religion, this is his greatest current advantage.
　　 The bird crowed a few more times, flew around Luo Lin a few times, and went into the sky.
