[Magic Moment] Feather of the Night

Three days ago, I came here to accept the assessment, and my grades were excellent, so I was allowed to go to Tianling to choose the staff.The main examiner who presided over the assessment—the master of the branch hall, Long Fengchong, praised me greatly, and kept saying that I was the most talented young man he had met in the past 50 years as the chief examiner, which greatly satisfied my vanity. Bundle.

"Yingxuan," before he left, he patted me on the shoulder with a look of expectation on his face, "I might say to others that you should do what you can, and don't overestimate yourself, but for you, no matter how good a staff is, It is possible, just trust your intuition and judgment, just go with the feeling."

This is also the reason why I identified Bai Yue's soul as soon as I arrived in Tianling.

In a way, this failure was entirely the result of my overinflated vanity.

"How? How?" Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here, I just missed him, and his voice sounded, "Yingxuan is back?"

I sighed and opened my eyes: "Uncle Long."

Long Fengchong is a tall old man with a big gray beard that hangs down to his waist.Unlike ordinary white mages, he is wearing a sapphire blue magic robe, on which are outlined many strange runes that I can't understand with golden lines: "How is it? I'm right, what is your visit to Tianling this time?" Isn't there a bunch of guardians vying to be your partner?"

"..." I was speechless.Part of me really wanted to tell the old man in front of me all my experiences, but my reason prevented me from doing so.A person who will eventually go to darkness... No one would accept this easily, right?This man has always been kind to me, but I'm sure he won't be so friendly once he knows about Tashia's prophecy, so I decided to lie: "Yes... a lot."

"I just said you don't have to worry at all before. Tell me, which one did you choose in the end?"

"I... what?"

"Name, didn't the guardian tell you the name of the staff?"

"Name?" When I was about to say that I didn't know, the voice that accepted me at the last moment before I was teleported back to the branch hall sounded in my heart, "【Yan Yi】."

"Yan Yi?!" The hall master said in disbelief, "Did you make a mistake? Yan Yi?! Impossible!"

"It's Yan Yi." When I saw his expression, I knew that the problem was serious, and my heart skipped a beat.Could Yan Yi be a dark magic staff?

"Yan Yi is the most common light-attribute staff. Heavenly spirits are everywhere. Only mages with the worst endowments will consider using it as their staff. Yingxuan, you must have remembered it wrong. Don't you [ The Spirit of Yan]? That is a first-class light-attribute staff with a flame bonus effect; or [Wing Dance]..."

"No, it's Yan Yi." I mobilized the spiritual power in my body to release the staff, a bland, slender stick with a circle of auspicious clouds on the top, that's all.There were no patterns, no gems, and it was nothing compared to Bai Yue's soul seen on the top of Tianling Sacred Mountain.Not to mention Bai Yue's soul, even Chen Xia's ancestral staff inlaid with fire cloud stones is hundreds of times stronger than it.

Long Fengchong looked at the staff in my hand and was completely speechless.After a long time, he struggled to organize his words and said: "It's okay, the magic staff has limited effect on mages, even if the staff is not good, as long as you work hard, you can still become an excellent mage."

"I know." I said, looking at the old man's dejected look, it seemed that he was more uncomfortable than me.

I've had enough.

At that critical juncture, when no one would accept me, it was it—this ordinary staff that accepted me.Don't say it's a weak staff, even if it's a worthless piece of wood, I'm just as grateful.

It's just that, after all, I'm still a little disappointed.

Thinking about Chen Yu's expectant eyes before leaving, I really can't imagine how he will feel after learning about this.

I failed him.I hate this feeling.

I failed myself even more.

own future.own future.

Although it is theoretically possible to become a powerful warlock without a powerful staff, it means putting in ten times or even a hundred times more effort than others, and it may not have much effect.

So far, in the entire Mage Alliance, there is not a single warlock above the third level in the five tribes who does not have a powerful staff as an assistant.

So far, there is not a single person who really does not rely on the wand and only relies on his own talent to enter the third level.

Why should I believe that I can be that exception.

When I came back to my senses, the church was empty and I was the only one left.

Accompanied by Yan Yi in his hand.

"Master, you are very disappointed in me, aren't you?" The same voice sounded in my heart, with a trace of imperceptible loss.I looked up, and in the abundant sunlight in the afternoon, a miniature elf less than half a person's height quietly stopped in midair, with flowing purple hair, and looked at me with wide-open and melancholy purple eyes.

"..." I knew at this moment that I should tell the guardian of Yanyi in front of me that I am very satisfied to have you, but when the words came to my mouth, I couldn't say a word.

"I can feel your disappointment. I know that I am not worthy of you. With your talent, you should have a staff that is much stronger than mine as your partner. I didn't expect to be chosen by you, but in the end You still didn't have a staff when you were teleported back, so I took the liberty of finding you."

"You mustn't say that," I replied, "you never know...how much your acceptance means to me. But you should know what Tashia said about me, right?"

The elf blinked her beautiful big purple eyes, and replied seriously: "I know."

"Then why did you..."

"I don't care." The elf's words warmed my heart, "I don't have enough spiritual power. In the eyes of you humans, I'm just an existence hovering at the tenth level. Unlike other guardians of powerful staffs, I can't see your destiny path Where will I go. I only know that the first time I saw you, you brought me a feeling that other warlocks did not have, and I longed for you to be my master. Even if what Tahia said is true, even if you If you really want to go into darkness, even if God destined me to accompany you for only a short month, I don't care."

"I swear: everything Tashia said will never happen! I will not be a slave to darkness, even I will not hurt you!" I couldn't restrain my excitement anymore, and grabbed her cold little hand speak loudly.

"Master," the elf's smile was filled with a sense of fateful sadness, "no one can change the trajectory of fate, what should come will come, whether you are happy or not, you must accept its arrangement."

This is a phrase that I will recall from time to time in the future.
