20. There's nothing wrong with being young
After watching the figure of the wandering mage Andrew disappear into the alley, the butler Morus hurriedly returned to the previous living room, and the two master-level followers who had been arranged in advance had also come to the living room from the next room, among which the mage in brown robes was holding the cup containing coin-shaped tea, and looked at it carefully, he had dazzling blonde hair, and looked quite young.
"How?" The butler asked.
"I can't see through it." The mage shook his head, put the cup down, and continued, "I didn't feel any power in him, he looked like an ordinary person, and yet he used such a subtle method... It seems that he must have used some kind of camouflage secret method to hide his power... But there is no doubt that this guy is not simple, and this kind of high-level camouflage secret method is very rare. ”
"What about his identity? Any clues? The butler asked again.
The mage pursed his lips and said, "There are not thousands of mages named Andrew, but hundreds, this name is too common, and I haven't found anyone similar to him on the wanted list of the Mage Guild." ”
"Could it be someone's soul armor?" The butler asked again, every time he mentioned any rare lost secret art, it would always make people think of the special existence of the soul armor at the first time.
"It shouldn't be possible, I didn't find anything similar to the soul armor in the vicinity, and his movements were natural and smooth, without the usual stiffness of the soul armor, and there was no sound of metal rubbing... The most important thing is that the soul armor is the rebirth of the soul of the strong, and their dignity will not allow them to run to do such a thing, it is the responsibility of the soul armor envoy. The mage said his own inference, and he didn't think that Bai Yi's body happened to be made of metal...
"It seems that he is really a mysterious guest, and it is a good deal to be able to send him away with 50 gold coins." The butler replied with a smirk.
The mage shook his head and said, "I think I should have more contact with him, his strength is at least not below mine, like this little trick, although the requirements for strength are not high, but it requires extremely detailed control skills... If I had to do it, I would be able to do it reluctantly, but I wouldn't be as skilful and fluent as he was. ”
"If we can win him over, it will be a great help for the family to open up the northern trade route, and a person like him with a not very clean background but a strong source is the best choice for the family." The mage finally added.
The butler Morus shrugged helplessly, and said with some regret: "You said it late, we can only wait for him to come to the door again." ”
"Not really." The mage smiled mysteriously and spread out his palm, where a black magic tracking mark was suspended, shining with a faint blue light, "I did it before, he shouldn't have noticed it yet, with my means, even a legendary-level powerhouse is difficult to find, so his current whereabouts are still in my grasp, do you need us to talk to him?" He asked confidently.
After thinking for a while, the housekeeper nodded lightly and said, "Be careful, it's okay if you can't talk about it, don't make trouble with him." ”
"Don't worry, I'm a good-natured person, and I'll communicate with him in a friendly way." The young blonde mage stood up and strode to the door, while the warrior who had been standing silently beside him without saying a word also lifted the heavy tower shield leaning against the wall and quickly followed.
At the same time, Bai Yizheng, who had already left the rich area, was standing in a secluded and uninhabited alley, with the black magic tracking mark also floating in his palm, and said to the Void Walkers with great interest: "This thing is quite exquisite, and it is also very secretive, and ordinary people are afraid that they will really be targeted without noticing... But what is their intention? Shouldn't you feel sorry for those 50 gold coins? ”
"What can you do with 50 gold coins? You can buy a tree branch, and it's more than this money to make up a ranged soldier! ”
"I think this family is also quite rich, it shouldn't be the owner who is short of money, probably because I want to find you in the future, right?"
"They must have sensed the strength of Your Excellency, and are planning to establish more contact with you... Alas, these juniors are really not worry-free..."
The Void Walkers were chattering, and Bai Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, come here, don't you know?" ”
At the same time as he spoke, two breaths quietly descended on the entrance of the alley, but no one could be seen, it seemed that he had used some kind of stealth enchantment, and Bai Yi also turned around and continued to say in such a low voice: "If you have something to say, you can say it directly." ”
He didn't feel any hostility towards the comer, so he was a little more patient.
And with Bai Yi's movements, the young mage hiding in the stealth enchantment also saw the chasing mark floating in his palm, and his face suddenly became not very good-looking for a while, reaching the realm of a master at such an age, and touching the threshold of a high-ranking powerhouse, he was naturally proud of himself, and he didn't expect that the tracking mark he was proud of was discovered by others so easily? Is it even very likely that it will be used by the other party to trace himself backwards? Or is it without you noticing? Otherwise, the other party would not have specially picked this kind of place to wait for him.
The so-called pride of this young and promising mage was trampled to worthlessness in front of the Void Walker, forcing him to take some time to calm his mood, forcibly unraveling the invisibility barrier as if nothing had happened, appearing in front of the other side, and saying in a modest tone: "Was it discovered by Master Andrew so quickly?" Your Excellency's strength is truly extraordinary. ”
"Getting to the point." Bai Yi said in a low voice, and then pinched it casually, and the tracking mark that was confident that even a legendary-level powerhouse would not notice suddenly burst into a slight burst of fire and disappeared into the air, and the mark in the hand of the young mage on the opposite side also dissipated, and at the same time, the coercive momentum that had been dealt with against the two guards before also began to emanate.
Without any incantation, without any runes appearing, he just relied on magic control to dispel the mark of his companion casually, which made the well-informed silent warrior's face a little more serious, and the faint power from Fu Fu also made him involuntarily tighten the tower shield in his hand, and moved half a step lightly under his feet, blocking in front of his mage companion.
The young mage's face was a little embarrassed at this time, according to his previous calculations, he should have suddenly appeared in front of him, and then showed his tracking mark, implicitly showing his good strength to the other party, paving the way for the next negotiations, but the development of things was completely beyond his imagination, he was as clumsy as a magic apprentice in front of this mysterious wandering mage, and even in the face of such an aggressive posture, he could only honestly speak:
"The Dowler family values Master Andrew's strength very much, and hopes to establish a long-term friendship with you, and we will pay you a satisfactory reward for this."
Aren't you just trying to hire me? It's so literate, and it's such a big formation... Bai Yixin was speechless for a while, he didn't want to do anything about the Dowler family, he still had Xiao Miya to take care of, so he immediately refused: "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm not interested." ”
After that, he ignored the other party's reaction, and turned straight to leave.
"Please wait a minute, Master Andrew, please believe in our sincerity..."The young mage said with some reluctance to give up, at this time he no longer had any doubts about the strength of this wandering mage, and he also sincerely hoped to invite the other party to join the crucial northern trade route development plan, but Bai Ye was not interested in this, and had no intention of turning back.
In a hurry, the immature young mage was in a hurry to keep Bai Yi, and actually made a very impolite move, he actually separated a spiritual force and directly probed Bai Yi, wanting to carefully probe his true strength... Such a move is tantamount to a provocation for two unfamiliar people.
Bai Yi faced the spiritual power that leaned over from the opposite side, and did not use his spiritual power to stop it, but sneered and said, "So curious? Let's take a look. ”
The moment the young mage's spiritual power came into contact with Bai Yi, he suddenly felt as if his head had been smashed by a sledgehammer, and the whole brain was echoing with a buzzing tinnitus, blood gushed out from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose irrepressibly, and his body collapsed to the ground weakly.
"Run..."
In the last moment he lost consciousness, he could only barely recall a little bit of what he had detected before, and he felt as if he was standing under a towering mountain, looking up like an ant at the black mountain that reached to the sky...
Divine power is like a mountain, just the tip of the iceberg of the true strength of the Fifth Element of the Void, it has caused his spiritual power to suffer a heavy blow, and I am afraid that it will take a long time to recover from being in bed.
"Don't easily spy on incomprehensible beings." Bai Yi whispered, he had refused the friendly spiritual power probes of the academy teachers several times before, not because he wanted to hide his strength, but because he didn't want those teachers to get hurt.
With that, he glanced again at the shield-wielding warrior who was still protecting his companion even though he was sweating profusely, and disappeared silently into the shadows of the alley, until he had been gone for a long time, and the warrior fell to his knees as if he had collapsed, and he almost thought he was going to die here, and he still had palpitations when he remembered the gaze of the other man when he last looked at him.
