Chapter 40: Getting old and not dying is for
Arteta Dumbler is a controversial figure. He was born in the Caesar Empire, but he stayed on the country for sixteen years and wandered around all his life. At that time, many Caesar Empire people thought that he was using travel to hone himself, and when he was successful, he would return home in glory.
However, after Dumbley promoted to the Holy Land Mage, he not only did not return to his country, but instead joined the arch rival of the Caesar Empire and even established an academy there. Later, this academy became the number one magic academy in the mainland. So he was called a traitor by the people of the Caesar Empire and was named the least person to talk about, which contained various complex emotions, because there was no Sanctuary Mage in the Caesar Empire so far.
If Dumbleli returns to China for a while, the Caesar Empire will not have to be despised as the most unlikely desert where magical talents are born; if Dumbleli returns to China for a while, the number one magic academy on the mainland will belong to the Caesar Empire; if...
The so-called love leads to hate is generally the case. If Dumbley was born into a magic empire at the beginning, it would not have attracted so much controversy - it is still a mystery as to why he made such a choice back then.
These materials are all seen by Tang Ning in the history of heroes of all generations. The dean occupies a place in it. Although most of the people who are called heroes have passed away, Dumbli has lived for three hundred years, and I don’t know how long he can live next.
How long the lifespan of the Holy Land wizards is still not determined. In history, the holy land wizards died due to accidental factors, either in wars or assassinations, and never died at the end. In a few exceptions, some condensed their divine nature and became gods, and some went to the alien plane for time and space exploration.
Tang Ning is still old-fashioned and doesn't know how to say politely, so he just goes straight to the point: "Director Dumbley, I'm here to apply for the upper-level right of way to your school's library."
"No problem, a small matter." The dean laughed, then wrote quickly, and in just a moment he drew a very distinctive letter - at least Tang Ning couldn't recognize what words were written on it.
The fact that you can get letters so easily made Tang Ning, who has always believed in the principle of equivalent exchange, doubted: "May I infer from what I heard just now, you seem to know me and have been waiting here for a long time? But I have never seen you."
"Haha, sometimes, you don't need to meet someone, just as you and I have never met you, but you can say your old name at once."
"That's because there's never been one dean of Azeroth Academy."
"Oh, maybe the person sitting here is a fake dean's liar, or maybe a prank gardener who comes here to play a game of playing the dean."
The other party's tone reminded Tang Ning of Donald, and he couldn't help but feel intimate, but then reason made him feel alert. He quickly explored Zhou's body and found that there was no trace of mental magic, so he felt relieved.
However, that sense of vigilance still lingers in my heart, reminding myself that I must never be affected anymore - if it weren't for magic, wouldn't it be even more terrifying?
"Child, your vigilance hurts me very much," the dean pretended to wipe his eyes and secretly pulled a scoundrel of eye poop. "People can trust more between people. If they build high walls, then the hearts that are close to me will become strangers. After living for such a long time, I have paid more attention to interpersonal interactions. I am not your enemy - it would be better to say that I hope to be your friend. Mutual vigilance will only make people more indifferent and not conducive to communication. Perhaps, this is why I am as talented as you, but I still don't have a girlfriend."
"The trust between people can only be established after a long test. A relationship that can be established in an instant is not called trust, but interest." Tang Ning still had the expression of keeping people from thousands of miles away. "This is my personality. I think you prefer to see honesty more than hypocritical responses, so I will show you my true side. If there is any offense, I hope to forgive me."
"The more you say this, the more you make me feel embarrassed. But one thing is right, truth is always more trustworthy than hypocrisy, even if it is sometimes cruel. Although it is very contradictory, I am still very happy. You can show your indifference frankly, rather than just slandering it."
Tang Ning was silent for a moment, and was about to say some goodbye, but suddenly became alert in his heart - the other party did not answer his question at all, and was inexplicably transferred to the topic. He was obviously warned again and again, but he was still led by the nose invisibly.
He took a deep breath and then countered: "If I guess correctly, Young Master Dumbley would know my existence. It should be because of yesterday's battle with the Doomsday Commander. As a Sanctuary Mage, you will not notice it. Next, you may have inquired about information from the Knights of the Storm, or you may have collected information using props such as the Wizard's Eye. After all, Carolin is your territory."
This way of directly pricking sensitive topics can easily cause dissatisfaction among the talker. However, if it can stimulate more emotions, it can achieve Tangning's goal. People often say some words containing tendency and intentions in their emotions, which is very valuable information, which can dialyze the other party's purpose from it.
Words are an extremely useful weapon and can be used without consuming any magic power. Therefore, although Tang Ning doesn't like talking to others, he often retorts in a tit-for-tat way when facing enemies.
However, the dean's reaction to this was to tilt his head, buckle his ears with his hands, and take out a small thing from it. Then, he shook his head like a puppy who had just been wet in the rain, shaking the water droplets on his hair.
"The stability of this hearing aid needs to be strengthened, and the volume limit must be set, otherwise it will sound like a buzzing piece, which is too brain-harming. Alas, I thought it was a good invention and could make extra money by applying for a patent. It seems that it would take more experiments to ensure quality."
The dean muttered a few words to himself, then turned to ask Tang Ning: "I didn't hear it clearly just now, but I roughly understood it. Don't worry, I have no malice. It would be better to say that I would like to thank you for your contribution to protecting Carolin. It is also a pity to give a certificate to this."
Tang Ning didn't know whether the other party really didn't hear it clearly or the fake ones didn't hear it clearly. However, the opportunity had passed, and his attack was blocked by the other party as if nothing had happened. It was not good for him to continue, so he left the court and said, "Thank you for your generosity, so he would be disrespectful."
Turning around and leaving the room.
