Chapter 166: The Light Mage of the Five Rings

In the medieval Warhammer world, especially in the old world, the living environment of mages is very embarrassing, they are not synonymous with rich and handsome like their counterparts in other worlds, but they are discriminated against and excluded by the public in a society dominated by ordinary humans.

The reason is easy to understand, just like superheroes, in addition to the appearance of ordinary people, the more important reason is that they have the power to be feared, so imagine, if a freak who can burn your house down with a wave of his hand lives next door to you, can you accept him with a heart?

This lack of trust is very common in the Empire, and the Imperial Academy of Magic can be regarded as an effective measure to deal with this distrust.

On the one hand, it allows mages to gather together and integrate them into the official system of the empire, which is convenient for daily management and use in special situations, and on the other hand, it is also a kind of protection, the eight magic academies are all built in a magical space that ordinary people cannot see, so as to avoid conflicts between the two sides caused by the excessive fanatical actions of ordinary people in daily life.

At the moment, it seems that such a move has achieved a win-win goal.

The Empire has mastered new powers, and can be supported by magical forces when facing Chaos, Beastmen, Greenskins, or some non-existent creature.

For mages, at least within the Empire, their status has been greatly improved, and there is a fixed place to study, learn and impart magic, and there is no need to hide in Tibet as before, and Egrem is the beneficiary.

He was born in the countryside of Aldolph, and like other humans who became mages, he awakened his magical talent at the age of eight, and then after official testing, he showed an affinity with one of the eight winds of magic, White Wind Haixi, and was naturally sent to the Bright Academy specializing in the study of White Wind, becoming an apprentice of a light mage.

After several years of theoretical study and meditation, at the age of fifteen, he finally became a full-fledged junior mage.

According to the division of the High Elves "Magister Council", ordinary magicians are divided into nine levels, that is, nine rings.

Rings 1 to 3 are junior mages, rings 4 to 6 are intermediate mages, rings 7 to 9 are advanced mages, and then there are archmages and supreme mages.

At the beginning of Egreem's cultivation was very average, until he was twenty years old, he was only a second-ring mage, very mediocre, at which time he chose to leave Aldolph and came to the Frontier Prince's Domain, where he was hired by Matthew.

After a few years in the land of chaos, he suddenly exploded, and his mana climbed like a rocket, and he was promoted three levels in a row, and now he is an intermediate mage of the five rings.

To be honest, with his current strength, he can find a better employer and get better treatment, only for some reason that he continued to stay, but his mentality has changed a long time ago, so his attitude towards Matthew is also very different from before.

After all, this is a world that speaks by strength.

But Matthew, on the other hand, was still the same as before, although he was polite, he didn't take it seriously, and reprimanded him like an ordinary henchman.

Back in the room, the two were arguing.

"What fight, do you know what's behind the walls? What if there are more green skins? I just agreed to find out the information from the bandits, instead of going to war with the greenskins! ”

"But now the problem is, they obviously recognize us, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many greenskinned attacks all of a sudden!"

"So I'm not trying to figure out how to wipe your ass!"

The two of them didn't give in to each other, and the smell of gunpowder in their mouths became stronger and stronger, and finally even Matthew, who was very deep in the city, couldn't help it, slapped the table hard, and shouted directly:

"Get out! Don't even meddle in this! ”

Egrem was stunned when he heard this, and Jun's face flashed with a fierce look, and he glared fiercely at the lord who had been with him for nearly ten years, leaving only one sentence, and turned around and walked out of the room.

"I hope you don't regret it, Lord Castle!"

With Egrem gone, the heated internal quarrel finally came to an end and the room returned to calm, but Fitandila, who was standing by the sidelines, knew that her adoptive father was really angry.

"Father, Egrim has been getting more and more out of line lately, and a few days ago I heard that he had robbed another merchant's concubine."

As the commander of the "Fetenburg" city guard, she usually receives complaints about Egrim's evil deeds, which is simply a bad record, and in this way, he still treats herself all day long, which is simply shameless.

"When you go down to Kroney, you want him to settle this matter together, press it down, and now we still need his strength."

"Yes, but what he just said ......"

Matthew rubbed his forehead and temples vigorously, and said in a tired tone:

"Don't bother, I understand him, but I feel that I have lost face and want to get it back, the key now is to solve those green skins, you go and find Rip, no, forget it, or I'll go find him."

The only way to solve the current dilemma is to find this mercenary leader.

Directly start a war with the Greenskins? That kind of stupid thing that doesn't benefit at all is not something that he White Fox will do.

…………

Compared to Matthew, who was anxious, in the south not far from "Fetanburg", the other lord was in a much better mood, and at this time he was looking at the message that had just popped up in the system with a full face of spring.

["Thunder Cliff" has reached the upgrade standard and has been upgraded to a green-skinned walled city!] 】

It's finally upgraded!

It's no wonder that Stone is smiling like a nightclub bustard, following the upgrade of "Ironforge Fort" two months ago, "Thunder Cliff" has also been successfully promoted to a third-level stronghold, so that the territory now has a total of one fortress and three strongholds.

However, the former is still in a state of deterioration, and only two of the eight fourth-level buildings that need to be repaired have now been completed, namely the "Mushroom Cultivation Base" of "Orgrimmar" and the "Fur Workshop" of "Iron Forge", and the remaining six have not yet started construction for various reasons, some because they need to be repaired in "Steel Rock", and some because the front-level three-level buildings have not yet been completed.

There is no way to do it in a hurry, after all, there are only so many people who can do the work now, but there are many places that need to be started.

The first is the third-level building after the "Orgrimmar" was upgraded to the walled city, these must be repaired, and with the upgrading of the other two strongholds, the same building will be done twice.

Secondly, with the addition of a large number of new boys, the stone also had to build shelters for them, and hundreds of cabins rose all over the territory, causing the [obedience] of each stronghold to rise significantly, which led to the upgrade of "Ironforge Fort" and "Thunder Cliff".

However, the above is not a big deal, and what really occupies most of the territory is the new building that is about to be completed in front of the stone.
