“Congratulations.”
As per custom, Link began with polite congratulations and remarks, “Congratulations on your successful promotion to become…
“Don’t be nervous.”
Wizard Palo gave him a look, signaling Link to be at ease and skip the formalities, then said, “Many friends are eagerly anticipating the gift you got me, why don’t you unwrap it for me.
“Yes.”
Link nodded in agreement.
After all, what could Link do at this point?
Of course, he carried out the order.
He broke the seal on the gift box, lifted the lid, and took out the 13 dolls one by one, placing them on the trolley.
The dolls were only as big as thumbs, nothing special-looking at all.
No matter how finely crafted, they could only be so precious given their material.
One could speculate that a wizard apprentice wouldn’t be able to afford fancy gifts.
He could only pursue novelty and uniqueness.
Unfortunately, his attempt at uniqueness didn’t succeed.
Disappointment was written on the faces of many in the audience.
On the other hand, those who knew about Wizard Palo’s past, such as the
Third-Level Wizards and a few senior Second-Level Wizards, became somewhat interested.
The dolls were interesting.
If they worked as they speculated, “Big Mouth” Cordell wasn’t exaggerating this time, the dolls really could strike a chord with Palo.
Emotionally, he’d probably prefer them to Percy Sage’s Diamond Wand.
Now they were even more intrigued.
The attitudes of the two groups of people were vastly different.
“May I demonstrate?”
Link understood that just displaying the dolls wouldn’t be very interesting.
A demonstration was needed to fully showcase their charm.
However, without Palo’s approval, he didn’t dare to use his spiritual and magical powers under the watchful eyes of so many wizards.
If they mistook it as a provocation or sneak attack and instinctively counterattacked.
That would be disastrous.
“Of course.”
Wizard Palo agreed outright.
“Thankyou, Wizard Palo.”
Link thanked him, then, following the instructions he had memorized earlier, he used spiritual and magical powers at a specific frequency to activate the master doll and the first auxiliary doll.
The thumb-sized dolls sprang into action upon receiving commands and power.
The master doll, bearing a strong resemblance to a younger Palo, took the lead and jumped from the trolley.
Hovering in mid-air, it grew in size with the wind, until it was about half the height of a human.
The master doll’s stance was very refined, with its left hand behind its back and the right hand extended forward as if inviting an attack.
Nonchalant yet graceful, it presented an imposing air.
Here, Link had modeled after the image of Huang Fei Hung played by Jet Li.
The aim was to enhance the demeanor of the master doll.
The first auxiliary doll followed suit and leaped out, undergoing a similar size change.
The auxiliary doll was also beautifully made, only its face was slightly blurred.
Only those familiar with it could recognize it.
Those unfamiliar would assume it to be a stranger.
“Begin.”
At his command,
The master doll and the first auxiliary doll began to spar.
Who knew how the shop owner, “Big Mouth” Cordell, made it.
The two dolls were able to perform Zero Ring spells so vividly.
Although they were only illusions with no real destructive power, they faithfully reenacted the complete process of that duel.
They traded blows in mid-air, staging a “pecking fight” with Zero Ring spells. The wizards present, especially Palo and those Third-Level Wizards and some senior Second-Level Wizards familiar with his past, watched with keen interest.
The fight heated up, approaching its climax.
The master doll began to shine more frequently.
Even sound effects of explosive magic were added at this point.
The dominating master doll became even more spirited.
“Fall down!”
With a roar from the master doll, a Zero Ring spell hit the first auxiliary doll just below the knee.
Thud! The auxiliary doll kneeled down, head drooping.
The master doll looked down at the kneeling auxiliary doll arrogantly and sneered scornfully, “Archie, that’s all you have!”
Yes, the first opponent Palo defeated in the sectional competition was indeed Zoran Archie.
He did say something after defeating Zoran, but it wasn’t this remark.
This was Link’s revision.
This was not only to showcase Palo’s charm but also to subtly embarrass Zoran Archie in public.
If I can’t beat you, can’11 smear you?
Only at this point did the wizards who initially held a disdainful attitude recognize the first auxiliary doll with a blurry face. Its original model was actually the young Zoran Archie.
Only then did they realize the influence of the background story of the dolls Link gifted on Wizard Palo.
Only then did they acknowledge Link Grande, just a first-year wizard apprentice.
The kid was really gutsy.
He was racing down the road to deeply offend Lucia’s family, with no brakes!
“Very good, I like it very much!”
Wizard Palo clapped his hands, his face lighting up with a sincere smile.
It seemed he genuinely liked the set of dolls, “Is there more? Show me another one.”
“Okay.”
Link agreed and called back the first auxiliary doll.
After some thought, he skipped over the middle 10 dolls and directly sent out the twelfth auxiliary doll.
As soon as it came out, it caused an uproar.
The wizards, who were now on their best behavior, immediately recognized the twelfth auxiliary doll’s original model.
“Interesting.”
