Beginning as King of Elden

Chapter 31 The Bald Mage
Following the guiding light of blessing, Li Lin came to an abandoned open-air church.

Walking into this church, there is a statue of a woman with outstretched arms.

Next to the statue, a bald man dressed as a mage sat, looking a little downcast.

"Are you a fader?" He asked as he saw Li Lin walking in.

"Yes."

"...Since that's the case, would it be convenient for me to share some runes?" His expression was a little embarrassed, but his tone was quite gentle.

"?" Li Lin showed a puzzled expression.

"Hehe." The man dressed as a mage smiled apologetically, "You can't be judged by appearances. I used to stay in Rhea Lucaria Academy, where I learned pyroxene magic. If you give me the rune, I can teach it. You are magic."

"Sorry, I don't have the potential to learn magic."

Li Lin said blankly that Roger had shattered his dream of magic.

"That's it..." He said with some regret, and immediately comforted: "It doesn't matter, I am actually a waste rock with no talent... You look different from me. From your eyes, I can tell Feel the talent you have."

After saying this, Li Lin wanted to look at himself in the mirror.

Is it true or false, so that such illusory things can be seen from the eyes?

"Hmm... Are you short of runes?" Li Lin asked.

"Yeah." The bald man admitted helplessly, "Looking north from here, can you see a building standing on a horizontal plane?"

Looking in the direction the man was pointing at, he could indeed vaguely see a majestic building in the mist.

"That's Rhea Lucaria Academy, the hall of learning of pyroxene magicians."

"But the academy has been closed for a long time."

"——In order to implement the creed of not intervening in the Shattered War. The academy set up a magic seal on the east gate facing the royal city and the south gate leading to this land. The seal has not been released until now. As long as there is no pyroxene key, You can't get into the academy."

"A low-level magician like me has no way to go back... I happened to leave the academy when I cast the seal, and now I can't go back to that hall of learning."

"So, I need rune to sustain my life, and I also need rune to study magic."

In order to thank the bald mage for his introduction, and the number of runes he asked for was quite small, Li Lin gave him some runes.

This down-and-out man is quite a reasonable type, because he couldn't teach Li Lin magic, as compensation, he introduced a lot of information about this land and the magic academy.

There is a village in the south of this land, and the Rhea Lucaria Academy in the north.

"As for the information about the pyroxene key, I think there should be clues in front of the gate of the academy, but I don't have the ability to break through the blockade of those soldiers."

"As a fader, you should need this information."

He said, "You are the one who needs to fight. I can see that. Please don't pay attention to me. Go on your journey and move on to the next battle."

After bidding farewell to the bald man, riding a spirit horse to the lake, Li Lin looked at his face in the lake.

It is exactly the same as the appearance in Carlos' memory, and it is even [-]% similar to Li Lin's own face in the memory of Li Lin's previous life.

However, there is a subtle difference in temperament.

Although his appearance is still that of a young man, or even a teenager, he already has the vicissitudes of war.

His eyes no longer had the agility that belonged to a teenager.

Following the light of blessing, Li Lin rode Toret and rode forward all the way.

Lienia of the Lake is just like its name, most of the place is a lake area, and only a few land can be exposed to the lake.

However, the depth of this huge lake is very shallow, just five or six centimeters below the horseshoe.

Before seeing the new blessing, Li Lin saw a very huge... lobster in the lake?
The green shell has many limbs, two large jaws and long tentacles.

Apart from being surprisingly large, it really isn't much different from a lobster.

The sound of the horse's hooves also alarmed the giant prawn, which was five or six meters long, it turned around and opened its mouth.

The disgusting chrysanthemum-shaped mouthparts contracted for a while, as if to spray out something...

When the ominous premonition came, Li Lin's scalp exploded, and he manipulated the spirit horse to dodge to the left.

The next moment, a string of strangely colored thick solid-liquid mixture shot towards where he was before.

...Definitely don't get caught by this thing.

Li Lin thought in fear.

The next moment, he picked up the holy seal of the hunting god on the spirit horse.

Prayer: Black Flame.

Li Lin raised his right hand high, and a gray-white seal lit up on his hand.

The French seal is composed of countless rings and white lines, which makes people dizzy at first glance.

"boom."

There was the sound of flames detonating from his hand, and black and white flames of different colors ignited.

With a flick of his hand, the flame flew towards the giant lobster.

"Boom."

The flames of different colors exploded, and the carapace of the hit part of the lobster immediately burst, revealing a large piece of pink flesh and blood.

The lobster suddenly made a strange painful sound, shook all over, and quickly crawled towards Li Lin and Torret in the shallow lake water.

It's okay to hurt.

Thinking about it, Li Lin pulled out the hound's long teeth.

Carefully dealt with the lobster, without letting its mouthparts spew out terrifying unknown objects, Li Lin rode his horse and continued to run towards the blessed light.

After half a day passed, Li Lin hadn't seen the next blessing, but saw an abandoned church again.

At the door of the church stood a man wearing a white mask.

The man in the white mask was standing there motionless, looking directly at him.

Waiting for me?
Li Lin got off the horse and walked slowly in front of him.

He wears a white blood-stained robe and a gray hood over his head.

——This looks like the costume of a battlefield doctor.

On his face, he wore a white mask that covered his entire face and was close to his face, only revealing two dark eyes.

To be honest, with such an image, it is hard for Li Lin to believe that he is a good person.

However, given his relatively peaceful attitude at this time, Li Lin is still going to try to see if he can communicate with him.

"Oh! I've been waiting for you for a long time~"

He suddenly said, his voice slightly teasing.

Really waiting for me!

"Not only did I successfully obtain the Great Rune, but I also met the two fingers of the round table hall."

"……How did you know."

"Haha, for an intelligent person with amazing talent..."

He seemed to be smiling, and said a little happily.

"Your talent, including the bloody aura on your body now, has attracted the attention of Lord Menger."

Lord Munger?who?

Without explaining the origin of the so-called Lord Menger to Li Lin, the white masked man continued to ask.

"So, what do you think about two fingers?"

Thoughts on two fingers?
He really wanted to ask what the so-called Lord Menger was, so let's answer his question first.
