Magical Strategist

Such a fantastic lie may be used to fool children, but it is far-fetched to fool the king and others. Everyone knows that the God King Group has existed for more than 800 years, and the heroes of the past have long been buried underground and become history. And the old man in front of him has a cunning face and looks like a professional swindler. However, considering the old man's advanced age, the king was kind and said, "Forget it, you don't have to make it up anymore. Come, give him some money and let him go home to spend his old age."

"Yes!"

The servant quickly brought a pile of gold coins, but the old man didn't even look at them. He said lightly, "I came here just to see my benefactor."

"Benefactor? Do you mean Lingdie?" the king asked with a frown.

"Exactly."

"Lingdie is still young, just tell me what's going on." The king refused, fearing that this old liar would deceive Lingdie.

"No, I just want to chat with her alone." The old man said stubbornly.

"Why are you so stubborn, old man?" the king said unhappily.

It was a coincidence that Lingdie came at this time. She was so cute with two pigtails.

The old man became a little panicked, probably because he was a little excited to see his benefactor. He said respectfully: "I have met you, benefactor!"

Ling Die was stunned, blinked her big watery eyes, and asked, "Grandpa, who are you?"

"I am the 'beggar' you rescued thirteen days ago. Thanks to the princess for rescuing me, otherwise I would have frozen to death in the ice and snow." The old man bent down and said respectfully.

"Ah? I remember now, it's you!" Ling Die said in surprise.

The old man cleared his throat and said, "I am a man who values ​​reputation. I should repay a drop of kindness with a spring. I have never received any kindness from others in my life, but now that the princess has saved my life, I am extremely ashamed."

"It's nothing, hehe..." Lingdie smiled mischievously.

"Princess, I have a few words to say to you in private. Could it be possible for us to talk outside?" the old man asked, scratching his hair.

"Yeah, okay!" Ling Die agreed readily.

"Die'er! You are not allowed to go!" The king suddenly stopped her. "Come here, drive this old beggar out of the palace."

How could this kind-hearted old man be so evil? Ling Die refused to listen and argued, "Why is my father so fierce? The old man is a good man! Besides, you have always taught me to respect the elderly and love the young. Since the old man wants to talk to me alone, I can't refuse."

The king never obeyed anyone except his own daughter. In the end, he could only wave his hand and let her and the old man go out. However, he was still worried, so he sent two soldiers to watch in secret, fearing that something might go wrong.

Ling Die followed the old man to the outside of the banquet hall.

"Grandpa, do you have anything to tell me?" Ling Die asked, blinking her clear eyes.

"Princess, please wait a moment!" The old man stretched out his hand and rummaged in his sleeve for a while, muttering to himself as he rummaged, "Princess, you are kind-hearted, and kind people will surely have good fortune. I am running out of time, and if I don't pass it on to the right person, I'm afraid there will never be another opportunity in the future." The old man took out a tattered manuscript.

"Want to give me this book?" Lingdie took the book and turned it over curiously. Unexpectedly, the fonts on the book were strange and none of them were familiar to Lingdie. "Grandpa, I don't think I have learned these words."

"Hehehe... These are not words, they are spells. It's normal that the princess doesn't recognize them. But please look carefully, there are corresponding pinyin above each spell. When you practice in the future, the princess only needs to read them according to the pinyin above." The old man said with a smile.

"Mi, so, to..." Ling Die was curious and started reading immediately. "What kind of book is this? What's the point of learning it? Can I become as powerful as my father?"

The old man stroked his beard and said proudly, "This book is called "Demon Subduing Witchcraft and Incantations". It is a collection of witchcraft and incantations that I have created throughout my life. There are a total of 49 incantations. If the princess is lucky enough to learn all 49 incantations, no one in the world can be your opponent."

"Wow, that's amazing! Grandpa, please teach me how to learn it!" Ling Die asked.

"It's not difficult to learn witchcraft and sorcery, but you must make certain sacrifices," said the old man.

"What sacrifice?"

"That is, if you learn spells, you can't practice academic skills, and if you practice academic skills, you can't learn spells. What this means is that after the princess learns spells, she can no longer practice other magic, swordsmanship, etc. She must be single-minded and not have any second thoughts." said the old man.

"That's no problem! Because I'm not interested in magic, swords, etc. My father forced me to learn magic, saying that it can protect me, but I'm not willing to learn it. So what's next?" Ling Die continued to ask.

"That's even easier. Just open the book and recite the spell with your heart. You see, the spells recorded in the book are from easy to difficult, from common to complex. Princess needs to start from the first spell. Don't be impatient and don't jump." said the old man.

"Just read it as it's written? That's so easy! I can read such a thin book in half a day, no, half an hour." Ling Die said happily.

"No, no, princess, you have to remember, these 749 spells are profound, varied, and mysterious. Every time you learn a spell, you have to recite it 88,000 times with your heart, not more or less." The old man put on the look of a master and explained patiently.

"Eighty-eight thousand times? How long will it take me to learn them all?"

"If the princess practices the spell with all her heart and does not give up halfway, it will take exactly one hundred and twenty years, no more, no less," said the old man.

"Ah! So long? Then I'd better not learn it. I will be dead in one hundred and twenty years, hehe..." Ling Die returned the book to the old man.

I finally found a destined person to teach my lifelong skills, how could I let him go so easily? The old man said hurriedly: "Princess, don't rush to make a conclusion. Let me show you the mystery of this "Demon Subduing Witchcraft Curse."

Ling Die immediately perked up and stared at the old man intently. The old man closed his eyes slightly, put his hands together, and muttered a spell. The spell was very long and took a full minute to recite. After it was finished, the old man was sweating and panting.

Ling Die had seen some magic spells. For example, when a magician finished reciting the spell, a dazzling light would instantly bloom; when a summoner finished reciting the spell, the summoned creature would appear... She looked around for a while, and finally said with some disappointment: "Grandpa, what's the secret? It seems that there is no change."

"Haha, this is witchcraft, not magic. Now go to the banquet hall to see your father." The old man stroked his beard and said confidently.

Lingdie ran into the banquet hall. About five minutes later, she came back again, looking pale as if she was frightened. "Grandpa is in trouble. Father, Uncle Duke and the others are all motionless!"

"Don't worry, Princess. They will recover in ten minutes." The old man said with a smile.

"What's going on? What did you do to them?" Ling Die asked.

"What I just used was just the simplest "immobilization technique" in the "Demon Subduing Witchcraft Curse". Unfortunately, I am really old and my magic power is far less than it used to be. Otherwise, I could have immobilized him for ten days and ten nights." The old man sighed. "How about it, Princess, are you interested? Are you willing to learn?"

Ling Die had never seen or heard of such a magical spell before. She nodded heavily and said, "I want to learn it!"

Hahaha……

The old man laughed up to the sky...
