What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 170 He won't come again
Colin, who returned to the castle, walked out of the laboratory without stopping.

As soon as he walked downstairs, he saw Walder bumping into him head-on. After seeing the lord, he said with a serious face: "My lord, Ms. Madeleine, I'm afraid I can't do it..."

……

In a room on the third floor of the castle.

Madeleine's eyes were sunken, and she was lying on the bed speechless.

This sixty-year-old high-level magician had been bedridden for several months. At this time, anyone could see that death was not far away.

The room was full of people.

Tessa, Roderick, Annie, Coral, and even Olivia were there.

Since the death of the Duke, Madeleine has no ambition to live, her spirit is lax, and her body is gradually exhausted. The reason why she can persevere until now is because she wants to take care of her disciple Sophia more. Thanks to Livia.

However, coral's holy light spells are limited after all.

Instead, the elven druid helped Madeleine survive for a long time.

As a natural spell inspired by the Mother Tree of Life, it is cast by elves who are themselves a long-lived race. Druids have always had a role in healing and recuperation that does not belong to the Holy Light.

And Olivia's powerful strength is even more unmatched by half-baked beginners like Coral.

However, no matter how miraculous and mysterious the druid technique is, it can't save Madeleine who has nothing to love.

"grown ups."

"grown ups."

"..."

When Colin walked into the room, everyone stepped aside.

Sophia lay on the bed halfway, tears streaming down her face.

Madeleine stroked the young girl's face with her bony palm.

Colin squatted down halfway. He had always been grateful and respectful to this lady who had given her great help in the early days of taking over the fortress.

When Madeleine saw Colin, she raised her palms slightly and moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't make a sound.

Colin nodded: "Madam, you will be buried outside the fortress, next to the Duke's tombstone."

The body of Duke Oliver was sent to Thunder City, and the funeral was completed under the auspices of Alan IV, and then transported back to the fortress, where he was buried with Duchess Barbara.

Colin felt sad for Ms. Madeleine when he thought that the Duke was still chanting his wife's name before he died.

The relationship between the two is very secretive, and Madeleine never mentioned it, but at this moment, Colin felt the other party's thoughts very clearly.

Madeleine hopes to truly tell others about her relationship with the Duke before she dies. This is a dying indulgence and a relief for herself.

really.

Hearing Colin's words, Madeleine's expression suddenly became serene.

After a while, she slowly put her slender palm back on the bed, closed her eyes quietly and passed away.

Sophia hugged the teacher's body, weeping uncontrollably.

……

Outside Twilight City, east of the stronghold.

At the foot of a scenic slope in the Dragon's Back Mountains, next to Duke Oliver's tomb, only Madeleine's name is written on a new tombstone.

After Colin waited for everyone to leave, he still stayed for a long time.

Death is still far away for him, but it will always be a big touch.

The last time I felt this way was when I saw Boyce Hawthorne.

Although the oldest magister in the Kingdom of Tulun is still alive, from the news that Colin heard when he occasionally went back to visit his teacher, it may be difficult to survive next year.

At that time, there will only be three magisters left in Tulun, while the Osic Empire will have eight.

Although the magister can't control everything, high-end combat power still has a very important deterrent effect in this world.

It's a pity that the other two magisters in Tulun are still young, and basically rely on the teacher alone for support.

But teachers also have their old age.

One day, he would throw himself on the bedside like Sophia, watching the teacher die but could do nothing. What kind of despair would this be, Colin dared not imagine at all.

He was silent for a long time and sighed slightly.

After bowing deeply to the tombstones of Duke Oliver and Ms. Madeleine, he was about to turn around and leave.

But the next moment.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of the cemetery.

Colin stood still, his eyes serious.

He didn't know the man.

And the strength of the other party has far exceeded his cognition.

More importantly, this person did not hide hostility towards him.

Although he didn't do anything immediately, the huge mental pressure made Colin almost out of breath.

Even when I was arguing positively with Harris, I didn't feel this kind of aggrieved feeling.

And when he saw the arm inadvertently exposed under the wide magic robe of the other party, Colin's hairs stood on end and his scalp went numb.

It was dusk.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, this tall, thin, pale man in a black magic robe walked to Madeleine's grave. His indifferent face, whose age was difficult to recognize at first, suddenly showed a hint of anger.

Colin could see that this person came for Ms. Madeleine, but he didn't dare to think about the bloody love triangle relationship. Under the pressure of fighting with all his strength, he had secretly taken the beads given by the teacher.

"You are better than I thought."

The man was silent for a long time, then suddenly turned around and looked at Colin.

"I have met Sir Condra Goss." Colin resisted the pressure and tried to look relaxed.

"That's how you recognized me." The man raised his arm, with a row of skull patterns the size of five coins tattooed on it.

"Yes, I only know you who are capable of killing five high-level necromancers and are used to this kind of tattoo."

The new magister of the Othic Empire, Condra Goss.

When he was in the Mage Tower, Colin also saw a letter from the teacher from the Osik Royal Magic Council.

In the blink of an eye, more than three years have passed, and this strong man who was promoted to a magister for killing two high-level necromancers seems to have added three more impressive achievements.

Regardless of his identity or guessing the reasons related to Ms. Madeleine, this Osik Magister will not have any kindness towards himself.

For the first time since crossing, Colin really felt the threat of death.

The teacher was far away in Thunder City, and he thought he was just next to the fortress, so he didn't let Glenn follow him. The peace of the past three years finally made him relax his vigilance.

Fortunately, he still has the last resort.

Even if he is not an opponent, Ke Lin is confident that he can throw the beads given by the teacher before the opponent kills him.

The biggest function of the magister is deterrence, which means that they cannot be easily shot.

Once Condra Goth dared to attack Colin Wayne and was discovered, no one could imagine how Roman Sagan would react.

"This is really an opportunity to seduce people." Condra Gus did not hide his intention at all. Although he came here only for Madeleine, he obviously didn't want to miss this kind of unexpected joy.

"Your Excellency Gus and Ms. Madeleine know each other?" Colin didn't throw the beads immediately, but tried to stabilize the other party with words.Because the teacher only has one of this thing, once he uses it at will, he will lose a hole card when he was in the Western Continent.

"Does this have anything to do with you?"

Condela sneered and said: "I originally thought that Roman Sagan didn't value you, so he sent you to this kind of place, but judging from your performance, it shouldn't be the case, maybe I can really try, What happens when you die."

Perhaps because he has dealt with a group of pirates and necromancers in the East China Sea all year round, Condra Goss is the most unassuming high-level magician Colin has ever seen.

Colin no longer hesitated, and immediately prepared to raise his hand.

However, before he could make a move, an arrow suddenly shot out.

The unremarkable wooden feathered arrow pierced the ground not far from the two of them, and shook it weakly, as if a beginner had missed the target.

However, it was such an ordinary arrow that made Kondra restrain his momentum immediately.

Colin instantly felt the pressure dissipate.

Looking at the empty surroundings, the eyes of this unruly magister became more and more serious.

Looking at Colin, he asked:
"Elves?"

Colin spread his hands pretending to be relaxed, but did not answer.

"Hey, this place is interesting."

Condela grinned and left without looking back.

Colin knew very well that it was Olivia who saved him. Once his tense nerves were relaxed, he almost softened, thinking that this "ancestor" recognized the truth.

He stood still for a while, recovered his mood, and then turned and walked towards the fortress.

……

……

Inside the dense forest of the Dragon's Back Mountain Range.

Condra Gess galloped towards the north at high speed, and suddenly his heart trembled slightly.

He stood still and turned to look sideways.

I saw a knight in leather armor with a long sword slanting across his shoulders standing there at some unknown time, as if he had been waiting for him a long time ago.

Although the other party seemed to be prepared, as a newly promoted magister, Condra Goss was at the time when his self-confidence was bursting. Sagan retreated completely in front of him.

"It seems that Colin Wayne is indeed Roman Sagan's darling, maybe I should take the risk just now." He smiled and looked at the opposite side without fear. That guy might not know what he was facing. That's right, a mage.

The knight put one hand on the hilt of his sword and walked over slowly.

The afterglow of the setting sun passed between the branches and leaves, vaguely showing the young face that belonged to Glenn.

Condela was also slightly taken aback when he saw that this person was only in his thirties.

But more at ease.

Glenn looked at Condela for a long time, and seemed to be weighing the strength of both sides.

After a while, he slowly drew out the long sword.

Just as Condela was about to say something, he saw his opponent slowly turn sideways and bend slightly, as if preparing to rush over and shoulder him to death.

This somewhat comical action stunned Condela for a moment.

"Impossible... The Demon Breaker Family has already..."

Before the words fell, the long sword had arrived.

……

……

Colin returned to the castle, still a little terrified.

He forced himself to drink a cup of black tea, calmed down for a while, and then remembered to go to Olivia to express his gratitude.

However, as soon as he reached the corridor, he met Glenn.

The knight with the long sword walked a little slower than usual, as if he had just returned from the outside.

"Mr. Glenn, I just met Condra Gus, and I almost died." Colin had the feeling of reporting a child to his parents after being bullied.

After hearing this, Glenn didn't have much reaction, just nodded: "He won't come in the future."

After speaking, he turned and entered the room.

Colin froze for a moment, a little confused.

A moment later, a ridiculous guess came from the bottom of my heart, and my mouth opened slowly involuntarily.
