Chapter 11 Magic Book

At this time, Locke was extremely certain that Cage in front of him was Balthazar, the man in the movie "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" that he had seen.

The story background of this movie is not complicated, mainly about the war between the two wizard camps of black wizards and white wizards.

The beginning can be traced back to more than 1000 years ago, when Merlin, the leader of the white wizard, was about to start the final decisive battle with Morgana, the leader of the black wizard, Hofas, one of the three major disciples of Merlin, betrayed Merlin.

With the help of Hoffas, Morgana attacked the castle where Merlin was located, planning to kill Merlin, the leader of the White Wizard, while he was off guard.

The initial attack was very successful, and Merlin was caught off guard and was seriously injured and dying.

But Morgana did not win the final victory, because at this moment, Merlin's other two disciples, Balthazar and Veronica, sensed something was wrong and arrived in time.

Veronica, Balthazar's lover, sucked Morgana's soul into her body at the critical moment, and sealed herself in the dark prison.

It's just that Merlin was seriously injured and dying at this time. As he was dying, Merlin took off the dragon ring on his finger and told his disciple Balthazar that the only way to really kill Morgana is to find his descendant. It can be done, and this is the only way to save Veronica.

Balthazar's search has lasted for more than a thousand years. During this period, he continued to fight with Hoffas, and in one battle, he successfully sealed Hoffas.

Locke's rejection of Balthazar was not surprising, because at this time Balthazar was focused on finding Merlin's successor and rescuing his lover Veronica, and had no interest in accepting apprentices.

Locke hesitated for a moment, he didn't know whether he should take this risk.

But extraordinary power is right in front of him. Although the system is miraculous, it does not allow him to directly grasp supernatural power.

He wasn't sure if Balthazar would move and hide after his encounter this time. If he missed this time, he still didn't know if he would be able to find him again.

Soon, Locke decided to take a little risk. The system plug-in does not come with magical abilities. The increase in attribute points can indeed make him extremely powerful, but he cannot live forever. He really does not want to miss the opportunity in front of him.

Recalling the plot in the movie, Locke finally said: "I know where the heir of Merlin is, and I am willing to promise under the witness of the contract, as long as you are willing to teach me magic, in exchange, I can tell you the whereabouts of the heir of Merlin .”

"Boom!" Locke's words just came out, and a magical light hit Locke's body directly.

"Ah!" Peggy screamed, and then found that Locke was imprisoned by a mass of water, and Balthazar came to Locke with a strong breath.

"Where is Merlin's descendant?" At this moment, the murderous aura on Balthazar's body was several times stronger than that of any opponent Locke encountered in the meditation battle. Peggy, who was originally screaming, was also frightened and lost her voice at this time.

"I don't know if he is reincarnated now, but I know that the child he reincarnated into will appear there ten years later. As long as no one changes it, he will appear there ten years later."

Turning a blind eye to the water flowing around his body, Locke faced Balthazar's eyes and said word by word: "I am not your enemy, and at the same time, I promise that what I said is true, I am willing to sign a contract with all of this. "

If it was a black wizard, or even a strange white wizard, Locke would not dare to do this, because wizards have many ways to torture people.

Fortunately, Balthazar is a white wizard. As an important character in the movie, his personality characteristics are still within Locke's expectations. This can be said to be kind and pedantic, and he will not easily hurt irrelevant people.

After using magic to confirm that Locke was not lying, Balthazar hesitated for a while, and finally withdrew the water that imprisoned Locke: "You better not lie to me."

"Of course, you've confirmed it, haven't you?"

Perhaps it was the spiritual improvement brought about by super-high intelligence. When Balthazar used magic to detect just now, Locke still had a faint feeling.

For thousands of years after Merlin's death, Balthazar has been looking for Merlin's heirs and never gave up. This can be said to be his greatest obsession.

"I can teach you magic, but I won't accept you as an apprentice, and you must tell me where Merlin's successor is."

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Locke also knew that he appeared abrupt, and it was difficult to explain why he would guide the whereabouts of Merlin's successor, but he had no better choice in a hurry.

"Yes, but I want you to teach me all the magic knowledge you know without reservation."

"As long as what you said is true." Balthazar took out a book, waved his hand, copied a copy, and waved it in front of Locke:

"This book records everything you want. You tell me the news, and I will teach you how to get started. This book is also yours. And I want you to swear that the news you said is true. At the same time, you will not will be my enemy."

"No problem." Locke readily agreed. He had no intention of intervening in the battle between wizards, and he swore an oath as Balthazar asked without hesitation, and reached a contract with Balthazar.

As the contract flickered and took shape, Locke's oath was correct, and Balthazar knew that what Locke said was true, which is also the magic of magic.

This made Balthazar's breath a little short. It's not a good feeling to have been searching aimlessly for more than 1000 years, especially as time goes by, the original firm belief will not be shaken.

Fortunately, the news that Locke brought Merlin's successor is definitely true, which means that he will end the thousand years of waiting.

"The heir of Merlin you are looking for is in New York. His name is Dave Debusschere. If you haven't been born yet, you can wait a year or two. He is the heir of Merlin you are looking for."

The two completed the contract, and Locke said slowly: "I have completed my work, and it is up to you next."

"No problem." Balthazar handed the book in his hand to Locke. This book records all the magic knowledge I have mastered from the beginning. In addition, if you don't understand, you can come to ask me at any time.

Locke looked down at the quaint book in his hand, and couldn't help but said, "So can we start now?"

"I think you have other things to deal with." Balthazar looked at Peggy, waved his hand, and a magical light flashed: "She will forget what happened just now, you take her back, come back when you are ready .”

"Okay." Locke looked at the unconscious Peggy, picked her up, and left the antique shop.

"You're back Locke." Back at the hotel, the female teacher quickly saw Locke and Peggy who was being hugged by him: "What's wrong with Peggy?"

"It should be tired from playing, I'll put her in the room to have a rest."

The teacher looked at Peggy, confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her, and nodded: "No problem, come in."

In order to take care of the school's ace, the female teacher and Peggy lived in the same room, put Peggy on the bed, and Locke went back to his room, impatiently flipping through the magic book he just got.

As Locke kept flipping through the books, the system quickly sent a prompt: "Do you want to learn the skill meditation method?"

Locke chose yes, and soon a lot of knowledge and experience appeared in Locke's mind. He gained an additional meditation (primary) skill and gained an intelligence +2 improvement.

I compared the knowledge in my mind with the book, confirmed that there was no problem, and started the first attempt.

Soon the system continued to send reminders of +1 meditation practice experience.

There is a system, as long as there is a skill book, even without the guidance of a teacher, Locke, who is cheating, can easily learn it.
