Chapter 307: Girl's Magic
Magic?
Hearing this, almost everyone was stunned for a moment, and then the girls' eyes widened, and they looked at the girl standing in front of them in surprise, showing an expression of disbelief.
The girls had heard Jenn and Patilina talk about learning magic for a long time, but they didn't think much of it at the time. Because learning magic is a very difficult thing to do on the continent of Klein, not to mention the outcasts of the gods, even the children of ordinary people, even the gentry and those nobles rarely have such an honor. Mages have a transcendent status on the Klein Continent, and in the eyes of ordinary people, a mage is far more terrifying than a priest, after all, you can never imagine a priest releasing a fireball to blast out a big crater, but the story of a mage summoning a meteorite to plunge the entire city into a sea of fire is heard everywhere. In the eyes of ordinary civilians, mages are powerful, mysterious and arrogant, and they don't care about the nobles (the latter is the focus in the eyes of the commoners), and most of them are noble and enviable. If anyone can be looked like an apprentice by a mage, it is enough to make the people around him envious and jealous for a while.
Because of this, the sons of these witches didn't take Jenn's words seriously at first, and in their eyes, it was just a comfort. It's like a parent would promise their children that they would grow up to be a princess or marry a handsome prince charming, but alas, it's just a dream. The sons of witches had tasted the hardships of the world earlier than ordinary children, so they only laughed at Jenn's promise. It was a casual remark by the kind adult who comforted them. It's just that I didn't expect that adult to really find a mage for them to be a teacher!
The reason why Jenn asked Elise to teach them magic. It's not as simple as finding someone at random, in fact. There was only one reason why he had designated Elise instead of resummoning a spellcasting unit from the dungeon -- and that was Elise's status as a Bloodline.
Bloodlines are born with the power to manipulate blood and activate potential. And the power of the sons of witches is lurking in their blood, and if there is anyone who can most effectively guide them to activate the power hidden in the bodies of these sons of witches, then it must be Elise.
And, as a sorcerer, what Elise is best at is using the power that flows through her veins. Because the mage itself is a profession that controls and masters the wild magic in its own blood. It can be said that whether it is to guide these witch sons to understand their abilities, or to teach them to manipulate their powers later, Elise is the best choice.
Although Elise was not very positive about Jenn's request, she finally nodded and agreed. Truth be told, as a mage, Elise is just as afraid of trouble as everyone else, and there's nothing more fun for her than staying in the library and reading books to learn those mysterious things. And the other way around. Teaching a bunch of imps who didn't even know what magic was clearly not something Elise would love to do. But since Jenn had already given the order, she naturally had to follow the order.
"That......... Mistress Elise........."
It was only after a moment that the sons of the witches came to their senses. Then Philas raised her hand and asked the question in her mind on behalf of the others.
"You said we were the sons of witches......... What is that, please? Also, can we really learn magic? ”
"Something. You'll know when you should know, and there's more. If you don't have the skills to learn magic, then I won't waste my time on you. ”
Although it was very acceptable in front of Jenn. However, Elise is still the little princess of Black Onyx Stone City after all. In front of Jenn, she is naturally obedient and submissive. But in the face of a group of humans, it is obviously impossible for Elise to put on such a weak posture. So in the face of Filas's inquiry, she just glanced at the other party, and then answered coldly. Hearing Elise's answer, everyone immediately closed their mouths and looked at the girl in front of them cautiously. They didn't have any doubts about Elise's cold attitude, after all, it was rumored that mages were always high and unpretentious to ordinary people, so it was not so strange that this mage lady would have such an attitude towards them now.
After looking around at the crowd in front of her again, Elise nodded in satisfaction, and then she picked up the brush in her hand and drew a silver light in midair.
"Then let's go to the first lesson, about the properties of magic runes..............."
Listening to Elise's voice, the sons of witches, including Elinster, hurriedly raised their heads and looked intently at the girl in front of them - they did not notice at all that at this moment, just outside the room, two figures were standing there, quietly peeping at them.
"I didn't expect Elise to be quite presentable."
Patilina pursed her lips and spoke with a sigh.
"I thought that an eldest lady like her was not good at teaching and educating people at all."
"So you mean you're pretty good at it?"
Hearing Patilina's words, Jenn turned his head and glared at her. In fact, Patilina started teaching much earlier than Elise, but her teaching style is really not something that ordinary people can adapt to. Not to mention the amount of exercise that will kill people and the operation training that is close to actual combat, just surviving in the wild is enough for those witch sons to drink a pot. In fact, every time Patilina trains, someone gets injured more or less, abrasions and falls are trivial, and it's not uncommon to break an arm or leg. If this is to be replaced by someone else, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold on for a long time. But fortunately, these witch sons are tough enough, and those Alice maids can more or less have some healing spells, so those witch sons actually survived Patilina's devil training.
However, when Jenn learned about it from Lygia, he decisively stopped Patilina's teaching, what a joke, those witches' sons were not yet ten years old. And everyone has a physical disability. Isn't it fatal that Patilina actually let these little guys carry nearly ten kilograms of heavy objects on their backs and hike nearly 100 miles in the mountains? Until now, there has been no death, and it can be regarded as the life of those witches' sons who are hard enough. If you toss it any longer, even if you have the Great Resurrection Technique of the Holy See, it is estimated that it will not be able to save it.
So Jenn quickly pulled the little guy back, as for the vacant part of the course. Let Elise's magic make up for it, anyway, according to Jenn's plan, after these witch sons learn to read and write, they should also be exposed to magic. Just take this opportunity to make up for it, and by the way, let them have a good rest.
"I'll just say master, you're making too much of a fuss."
Patilina was obviously a little unimpressed by Jenn's words.
"Don't look at me tossing them like that, but I've calculated their limits well, right? You see, master, isn't there a great man who said before that if you don't push yourself to the limit? Is it impossible to discover your potential? If I hadn't forced them to train, these little ghosts wouldn't have been able to run hundreds of miles in the mountains. And you see, it's not so much whether they're being trained, it's whether they're mentally strong enough, and that's the point, isn't it? ”
"That's right, but it would be better if you used a method that made me feel a little more at ease, wouldn't it?"
Hearing this, Jenn shrugged his shoulders. Then he turned his head to look at Patilina, and spoke.
"But I also know you can't be idle......... Well, the refugees have recently been reorganized into a garrison, but they are still lacking in training. Anyway, you're idle, so why don't you just go and practice those guys? I'm not asking you to toss them to the level of the Guards, just train these guys to be qualified soldiers. How is it? It's not too difficult for you, but you can see how to do it. You can do whatever you want, and you don't have to worry about anything else. ”
"Really? Master? ”
Hear here. Patilina's otherwise somewhat bored face suddenly shone brightly, and she stared at her master standing beside her with excitement and excitement in it.
"Can I really do whatever I want? Even if you train those idiots to lie on the ground like a dead dog and wail in pain, it's okay? ”
From the point of view of basing their own happiness on the pain of others, Jenn and Patilina do have a common language.
"Absolutely."
With just one sentence, Jenn handed over the fate of those poor refugees.
"Great, master, I'll go get ready now! Rest assured, I'm going to train those guys to be as elite as the Krieg Death Corps! ”
Hearing Jenn's answer, Patilina jumped up for joy, and then she waved her little fist and saluted Jenn, and then immediately turned and ran away -- it was obvious that the little one was already a little impatient about this, and one really had to wonder if she had really trained those witch sons for their own good. Or is it just to pass the time for your own pleasure?
Or maybe both.
At this thought, Jenn shrugged his shoulders, and then he turned his head to look into the dim shadows of the hallway.
"Okay, now you can come out, don't sneak around like a mouse."
"Your strength has increased again, Your Highness the Prince."
With these words, the dark shadow began to dance again, and immediately after, a woman stepped out of it--she was none other than the head of the Cullisgate Chamber of Commerce, Claris. She walked out of the shadowy corridor and came to Jenn, and then bowed respectfully to him.
"I really didn't expect that after a while, you would become a heroic figure praised by the Templar Order, this is really a remarkable feat, Your Royal Highness, it seems that this ceremony will be very interesting to be able to throw a country into chaos and division by yourself, and to be able to make these humans revere and love you so much."
"You're not here to talk nonsense with me, Clariss."
Hearing Claris's words, Jenn snorted coldly.
"For the record, I haven't been planning to buy anything lately."
"I know this very well, Your Highness the Prince, in fact, I have come to you this time because I have been entrusted with it."
As she spoke, Clarisse reached into her arms, then pulled out a letter and handed it over. Seeing the bright red two-headed snake mark with bat wings on it, Jenn couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then at this moment, he saw Clarice raise her head and smile at him.
"On behalf of your sister, Her Highness Lilicia, I convey to you her invitation.........
Then, Clarisse spoke. (To be continued......)
