Chapter 357 The Wizard's Mercy

Edward made a fatal mistake.

That is, he didn't find Roland from Thanas' memory, so he thought that Roland didn't know Thanas... But how is it possible?

You know, Roland played a role in the White Tower before.Thanas was also his teacher.

It is impossible for Roland to forget Thanas. "Murloc Thanas" is also quite famous among the players.The reason why Thanas is famous is that he is very excitable, and his speech speed will speed up when he is excited, but his tongue is not good, and he can't speak clearly when he speaks fast, just like a murloc.

Although he became famous because of a certain ghost video, if you really get to know him, you will realize that he is indeed a good teacher.

Among the wizards, Thanas can be regarded as a rather gentle and humble group.He didn't even see the airs that a great wizard should have, and it could even be said that he was so humble that he was a little cowardly.

Perhaps because of his good temper, some players especially like to tease this humanoid self-propelled ghost material, and because of this, they were beaten by wizard players who respected Thanas.

But I have to say that this old wizard is indeed a good teacher.He would slap himself angrily for stuttering during a lecture, he would spend nights searching for information to answer an academic question posed to him by an apprentice, he would bow and apologize to the entire class for being a few minutes late, He will also judge the individual tendency of each student based on the homework submitted by each student, and then take the initiative to make up lessons for him in private for free.He could remember the names and faces of all the wizards who asked him questions, and he even remembered the personal hobbies of the wizard apprentices who graduated from him within ten years.He always likes to put a "little" in front of the students' names, and use some pet names like "little Tom" and "little Johnny".

As a gold-level great wizard, Tanas respected these little wizards who did not even have formal levels.Perhaps because of his insight into destiny, Tarnas respects every wizard apprentice.He can discover the unique talents of each student and treat each person as an indispensable part.

Thanas has a saying that is widely circulated among players.He once said with emotion in a class: "I see your future, and you will all become heroes."

"Among you, three will become great wizards, sixteen will discover a new theorem, five will die heroically in the war against aggression, three will maintain a perfect love, and six will To become famous philanthropists, eleven people will sacrifice their lives to save women and children, and two people will save the fate of a country. When you are alive, someone will miss you; when you die, someone will miss you. Crying for you, that's enough, I'm proud of you."

When he said this, Thanas unexpectedly did not stutter, and some people even suspected that he was reciting his lines.But no one would think he was joking.When the new White Pagoda was established, three of his students became great wizards, and two mountain wizards sealed the big crack after the underground race was repelled.

In the end, Thanas died when the White Tower collapsed.He was killed by an illusion by a mountain sage, and his final death was not very good-looking, but he ended up with a ten-meter-high statue in the Anvilia Memorial Hall.

Textbooks such as "Tideology", "Moon Phase Science" and "Shockology" of the New White Tower were compiled based on his research results during his lifetime.He is known as the greatest wizard in the history of the White Tower, bar none.

Different from his reputation, old Thanas is usually a rather low-key and inconspicuous person.

His beard is half gray and half white, his small eyes are narrowed into slits, his face is covered with wrinkles and age spots, and he speaks in a hoarse but rapid and indistinct voice, an ancient but clean whitish gray wizard The robe completely covered his whole body.

Thanas has a very strong memory.Whoever greeted him, he would remember that person's face, voice and name.Because Merlin's reputation among wizards is very cold, when other great wizards want some information, they will ask this humanoid Google which book and paper are placed where, and who has borrowed it.Similarly, whenever a stranger greets him familiarly, Thanas will become very panicked, his eyes flicker and his fingers tremble nervously, as if it is a great sin for him not to remember the person's name Same.He usually mumbles in a vague voice that fluctuates up and down: "Oh...that's it...you are... oh...sorry...I think I..."

Then, there is Ula Ula Ula Ula who is like a murloc.Generally speaking, this topic ends here.

Although this old man is definitely not a warrior, in Roland's view, he is also a hero worthy of respect.

He represents the mercy of the wizard.Roland only has three people he respects in the Farnese world, and Thanas is one of them.

Roland knew very well that it was absolutely impossible for such a kind old man to ask Roland confidently, "What? You know me?"

Similarly, Thanas would not usually wear such flamboyant and luxurious props.

Thanas will keep all his precious props in a sealed enchantment, and will only wear them on some important occasions.

In the words of Thanas, such high-level props are like reminding students that "I am different from you" and "You must respect me".Old Thanas was very uncomfortable with this. People's respectful gazes made him feel itchy all over his body.

It was precisely because of Roland's understanding of Teacher Thanas that he dared to assert that the old wizard in front of him was definitely not Thanas.

Although his face is that of Thanas, his voice is that of Thanas, the ring on his hand and the robe on his body are all traces of the washing of Thanas, and even some of his usual little habits are imitated He was lifelike, but Roland dared to assert that he was definitely not Thanas.

Knowing this, Roland can directly target Edward.

After all, there are only three control methods in Farnes that can replace both memory and habits.Either a spiritual infection, or a soul replacement, or a copy of the enemy of Kabbalah.

Mental infection can be ruled out because of Thanas's ring, and soul replacement is a technology of the Silver Queen. It is impossible for Roland not to see through it, so there is only one possibility left.

Enemy of Kabbalah.

Knowing Roland, knowing the professor, knowing that Roland is the death crow, and not knowing that Roland is the chosen one of the mentor, and possibly knowing the position of Roland, or Joseph-to sum up, the only one who is slightly possible is Edward.

Although Edward was killed by Roland and even gained experience, Roland knew that there was a possibility of revival of the Twilight Familiars.

For some elite-level Twilight Familiars, as long as they have a trace of body tissue left, then as long as a certain Twilight species favors them, they can be resurrected in a stronger form.

In terms of players, from an elite to a leader-level boss, the drop list also increases, but the level of the monster itself does not increase.

According to incomplete statistics, this probability was about 5% before Lost Christmas, and decreased to about 1% after Lost Christmas began.Based on the base number of Twilight Families, this can be regarded as a very high probability.

In the original history, the most famous resurrected person was Bernard the Skinner who had just been killed by Roland.The skinner Roland killed happened to be at the elite level. If there were no accidents, Roland might run into him again in the future.

But Edward...

Roland didn't see any humility in his kind eyes.Roland's eyes hurt from that majestic gaze.

Probably because the image of Mr. Thanas is not suitable for standing up.

A faint killing intent flashed in Roland's eyes.

Since he occupied Thanas' body, it means that there may be fewer wizards in the White Tower who survived than Roland planned.

Roland didn't believe that he would help him rescue those wizards.

...Sure enough, we should get rid of him quickly.

This guy has caused enough troubles for Roland. Now it seems that even if Roland spares his life, he will never give up pestering Roland.

In order to eliminate the unstable factors, even if it wasn't for Thanas' sake, Roland must kill him.

But how did he hook up with Farina?

On this point, Roland still couldn't figure it out.

Just in case, before making sure who is standing with him, Roland decided to pretend to be stupid for a while——

"Are you looking for me...what's the matter?"

Roland asked tentatively: "Behind me before..."

"That's my message technique... I was going to remind you, but 'that person' shot too fast, plus the delay of the witchcraft..."

"Tanas" sighed deeply, and said seriously: "Priest, listen carefully... I need your help, and you obviously need my help."

"I need evidence."

Roland just shook his head calmly: "I need evidence to prove that you and her are not together."

"I can't give you evidence," the old wizard said frankly, "you and I—the priest and the wizard, were both arrested by 'that woman'."

"Tanas" looked at Roland with pity in his eyes: "She needs my knowledge and the technology of the White Tower, so I can live. She has engraved the curse of poison ivy on the inner layer of my shirt, and I can't Leaving here, I can't shoot her, and I can't show you the evidence. But because of this, I am safe...but you are different. A priest's head is undoubtedly a noble trophy in Caral."

"Then why didn't she kill me?"

Roland asked suspiciously.

The old wizard was silent for a while, his face sank like water, and he lowered his voice and asked word by word: "Do you know Druid?"

"……what?"

Roland was confused.

Seeing Roland's reaction, the old wizard nodded slowly as if he understood something.

"Druid. That is the real ruler of Karal. They can learn some information through the internal organs of living people, such as..."

Edward said a lot later, but Roland didn't listen to anything.

There is only one sentence in his mind:

——What the hell is it someone else's turn to fool me with Druid?
