In the minds of Arthur's people, the towers of the mages meant mystical experiments and terrifying powers.

It's also the place where town legends are most mentioned, such as the frequent wailing of demons in the middle of the night.

Therefore, most of the town administrators will divide the area so that the mage guild is kept away from the residential area to avoid causing panic among the residents.

Human beings are so magical, worshipping powerful mystical powers and terrifying them because of ignorance.

This is also the reason why Zhao Xu was surprised when he first stepped into Crescent Moon Town and saw the station of the Mage Association nearby.

After he finished explaining to Maple Leaf, he gently squeezed through the crowd in front of him and headed towards his destination.

Compared to Hurricane City, in the Crescent Moon Town near the Nanyu Forest, there were more other races, and Zhao Xu accidentally bumped into a halfling who was less than his waist.

However, Zhao Xu, as an old bird, is still very cautious to protect his backpack in the crowd.

Who knows if there will be a master thief with a high level of "kung fu" hidden inside.

Hand kung fu, as the wanderer's own skill, is also one of their signatures. this

For a long time, another synonym for loitering was thieves.

There were even a few hooligans who had nothing to do on the street, staring at outsiders looking for opportunities, and after noticing Zhao Xu, who was dressed as a scholar, they all looked at him carefully, especially the backpack behind him, which looked like that kind of valuable thing.

After all, Antinoya disdains the kind of craftsmanship that has become old

Generally, adventurers who have worked hard will mostly spend money on weapons and equipment, and decoration things will rarely be taken into account.

It's just that when they found out that Zhao Xu's destination was the association's residence, they all immediately lowered their eyebrows and became pleasing to their eyes, lest Zhao Xu be aware of their former malice.

Seeing that the door of the association was painted with mysterious symbols representing the eight spell factions, Zhao Xu shook his head and walked in.

He was a little skeptical that he had the talent for disguise, and his sturdy body with a 14-point physique made a few hooligans mistakenly think that he was a scholar who had no strength to fight.

"Hello sir, is there anything I can do to help you?" As soon as Zhao Xu stepped into the door of the association, he was stopped directly because of his unfamiliar face.

At this time, there were already many people standing at the service desk in the hall, and the clerks were busy with their respective businesses.

Zhao Xu directly took out the mage badge in his pocket and handed it over.

When he left Mystra, Antinoa retrieved the old badge from his hand and replaced it with a full-fledged mage's badge for him.

The badge has a ring on the top to indicate that he is a ring mage who can cast first-level spells.

If you can cast a level 9 spell, the badge is nine rings, and you will also be honored as a nine-ring mage.

The young maid in charge of the reception had a few faint freckles on her face, and she respectfully took Zhao Xu's badge and began to check it.

In the middle of the badge is a line of text written in the lingua franca: Mage Guild/Level 1 Mage/Midsummer.

Outside of the text was a ring, which kept turning, so that the maid could understand that it was a real mage badge.

It may be much easier to steal a new mage's badge than to forge one.

At least on the mainland, no organization has ever copied this kind of craft, or it doesn't have the courage to do so.

It's just that when the maid was about to return the badge to Zhao Xu and ask him to go to the front desk to handle the corresponding business, she suddenly reacted that this badge was thicker.

On top of the regular badges, there are some special badges!

Remembering what the supervisor had told her, the maid hurriedly flipped the badge over, it was a pure silver sheet, just inlaid on the badge, as long as the buckle was gently opened, it could be removed, and it became the same as an ordinary badge.

It's just that the maid trembled at this time, reading the words on the silver sheet slightly—

"May the magic always be with you, and please do your best to assist the badge holder in all matters that may be done. - Oss"

The freckled maid couldn't help but swallow lightly, looking at Zhao Xu in front of her in disbelief.

The last time someone in the town had seen such a special badge was when her supervisor was entertaining maids, and she had only seen it with a senior mage from the guild headquarters.

And the words engraved by the other party are just "please cooperate with the corresponding matters", which is more than one level behind.

Even if there is nothing, just the name of Oss, it means too much - the president of the guild headquarters, not necessarily the strongest among the mages of Arthur, but definitely the most powerful.

Zhao Xu understood the weight of his badge, and he said softly, "Take me to meet the person in charge of your place." ”

Antinoa had told him that he had nothing to do with the moment of the inscription of the mythril sheet, so that the badge would be the same as that of the majority of Level 1 novice mage.

Only if he really needs help, then don't pin that flake.

Even to put it mildly, Zhao Xu took this badge and came here to borrow a few ninth-level scrolls, but the premise is that the town has it.

"The president and vice president left yesterday, and now there is only the executive officer left in the branch, and I will take you to meet him." The maid hurriedly said respectfully, and kept bowing her head.

At this time, there were already several tables in the hall that had no business for the time being, and the clerks looked over, curious about the situation here.

"Don't be nervous, you just take me." Zhao Xu said softly, although he was in a bit of a hurry, he never liked to show his power to ordinary people.

In his previous life, even if he was the sheriff of the town and the general manager of the entire town, he was still humble to the people at the bottom.

"Okay." The maid hurriedly led the way for Zhao Xu.

The Mage Association is generally based on towns and towns, and branches of the "Mage Association" are set up in various places, and their heads are also arranged according to the president and vice president.

It's just that the owners of these positions are generally mages of some rank, and they are often busy with the research of the spell itself, and they are generally too lazy to meddle in the affairs of too many associations, except for some people who have a strong desire for power.

So many times, some of the day-to-day affairs of the Mage Guild are handled by the Registrar, and this position is also the pinnacle position that mage apprentices can reach in the Guild.

Even many mage families know that their descendants have no talent for spellcasting, but they still want them to become mage apprentices, just to get together as the prerequisites for the executive officer of the association's branch.

In less than five minutes, after Zhao Xu walked through a long corridor, he saw the person he wanted to meet at the end of the second floor.

After being introduced by the maid, the other party respectfully took Zhao Xu's badge and checked it again before returning it to Zhao Xu.

"Dear Master Midsummer, first of all, I am the executive officer of the Mage Association's branch in Crescent Town, Li Wei." After the executive officer finished speaking, he bowed his head to Zhao Xu, and then respectfully invited Zhao Xu to sit in the main seat of the reception room.

Obviously, he already thought that Zhao Xu was the core personnel of the association's headquarters, and he couldn't tell if he was the son and nephew of an association giant.

If the president and vice president are there, they may be able to use the posture of their predecessors to end the shelf.

And Levi, as a standing official who had long been cut off from the path of a mage, didn't have the courage to do so.

"May I ask if we can cooperate with you, please do you ask?" Li Wei said humbly, while taking out his precious tea leaves and brewing them for Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu, who didn't even have the qualifications to set foot in the door of the association in his previous life, heard this, and couldn't help but sigh that a place like the Mage Association where the strong are supreme is actually so bureaucratic.
