This middle-aged mage opened a material shop in Ferro City, and some of the more common and precious materials and utensils that the mage needed could be purchased from his shop. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

And most of the people who have lived and stayed in this city for a while know that the owner of this mage shop is a sturdy and hearty middle-aged man.

In addition, the other party has a beautiful wife and lovely daughter, but people only think that he is a retired warrior with mage dreams but no talent.

But he never knew that he was also a high-ranking mage.

Because, the mage's indifference and disdain for the habit of interacting with people did not appear in this middle-aged man at all.

"Master Sturt, to be honest, we've done it before! also killed a demonic beast that looked like a spider, but unfortunately the nearby blight event showed no signs of improvement at all, and even worsened. ”

The city lord of Andek spread his hands, looking helpless.

"Originally, such a wilting event only occurred near the edge, but now, the scope of the wilting phenomenon has expanded to a few villages on the edge of the Ferro Forest. If you don't solve it......"

"If it is not addressed, this wilting phenomenon could spread to the entire Ferro Forest, and even to the center of Port Ferro."

The middle-aged mage said with a solemn face:

"Now, the amount of plant-based materials that mercenaries and adventurers can collect from the Ferro Forest has been reduced by about 10......"

"It's only been three weeks since the blight event was discovered, and if we allow it to spread, it will be difficult for us to harvest much more material from the Ferro Forest by then!"

After hearing the middle-aged mage's words, the city lord of Andek also looked nervous.

As a military port, Ferro itself is also a commercial port and a source of materials, and in addition to the commission transaction tax, the output of materials is also one of the pillars of Ferro's economy.

Every year, the lord of Ferro, a man with a close relationship with a certain Grand Duke, would receive a high tax on gold coins from it.

A sharp drop in income is an absolutely unbearable thing for greedy aristocrats.

At this time, a slightly immature but absolutely confident voice sounded.

"Can you show us the body material of that spider beast?"

With her legs crossed, Fira stared at the city lord of Andek with a smile on her face, staring at the noble man named the city lord, although the other party was actually just a lackey of a certain big nobleman.

"Absolutely!" Andek agreed very dryly.

This was just a superficial composure, and for some reason, the moment he looked at the young mage, Andek's heart sank slightly.

He clapped his palms and called for the arrival of the servants.

Several scantily clad blonde maids, each holding a metal end plate in both hands, walked over, and on top of the metal end plate, some bits and pieces were placed.

Spider's fangs, a few fairly intact eyes, and strangely colored spider silk.

All the mages present stepped forward one after another, approaching the end plate, and observing the remnants of the parts.

And little Naria also took the end plate from the scantily clad big sister and staggered to Fira.

Fira touched her head, then looked at the material as well.

【Magic Analysis】

In his eyes, a faint flash of light flashed, and the information of the pitch-black spider fangs the size of a palm quickly fed back into his eyes.

Immediately, he understood the origin of this spider monster.

"In that case, then you're welcome."

Phila yawned, looking bored, and little Naria yawned as he did, and lay in his arms.

"This is...... Swamp Spider? ”

The other mages, some of them spoke out in confusion.

"It should be right, there are signs of an earth elemental riot on it, and this kind of spider-like demonic beast of this size that can use the earth element should only be a swamp demon spider." Another mage with a long wooden staff stroked his beard and continued, "The elemental turmoil of this material is too severe to be used as a spellcasting material. ”

"It's a pity, the number of swamp demon spiders is difficult to see in the northern way of Luolan, and in the case of the Luolan Kingdom, it can probably only be found near the Tessen Swamp."

And the mages were naturally not stupid, and immediately thought of certain aspects:

It's no wonder that none of the mages who were invited last time made a move, it seems that the demonic beasts that have experienced the elemental riot have no value on their bodies at all, and they can't sell much gold coins all over their bodies, who would do such a thankless thing!

And the old Kuwaiti mage also understands that although he has changed a little now, but, in essence, he is not much different from other mages, and he is still a person who puts interests first.

And such people have a principle - they will not do things that are not beneficial.

The vast majority of mages' words will not be the existence of the good camp.

If it is absolutely neutral, it is more suitable for stacking UMD......

Uh, no, it's not this.

In the case of mages, some of them will be more inclined to the camp of order-neutral or neutral kindness, but this is the case with the group of mages in the White Tooth Tower.

These people have their own set of moral standards, and although they are not evil, they are not necessarily exactly the same as those of the general public.

Profit comes first.

Of course, there are also a small number of camps such as orderly evil and neutral evil.

For example, those black mages, those who like to spread evil and put profit first.

And what the mages have in common is that one is -

Focus on profit.

Although the Ferro Forest is not far from the edge of Ferro, if there are demons and rare magical beasts, it will not be long before it will become a biological material that these mages like, and then flow from the hands of a middle-aged mage to the hands of other mages.

The fact that this question has always existed, and that most mages have not said anything about it, only means that there are already mages who have entered the forest and have obtained some information.

And the group of them who were invited by the city lord would only have the city lord's helpers and a few who were not well-informed.

For example, Old Kuwait, who has been indulging in mage experiments and has no contact with other mages, and Fira, who has just entered Ferro.

And the greed and stinginess of this Andek city lord, being able to invite others, has long shown that there is no benefit in this, or the income from the sale is not worth the cost, so it has not been solved.

That is, there is only trouble.

And now, the fact that this Andek City Lord can pay the price to invite also shows one thing-

That is, if this matter is allowed to expand, his interests will be damaged even more seriously.

"Unfortunately, it's not the material we need, and it's not of much use to us."

Old Kuwait touched his beard and watched for a long time, and finally came to such a conclusion.

"Still, such a ......"

"What? Is there a way? Andek looked at Old Mage Kuwait with a wistful gaze.

"There is no way to draw any conclusions about the cause of the withering without conducting a field trip! Also, I don't think this creature is the real culprit for the blighting event. ”

"This monster is more like a victim of a blight event."

Phila shook her finger.

"By the way, Kuwait, what is this?"

One of the mages looked at Fira, who looked like a young man, and frowned.

Although it is said that whether the appearance is mature or not does not necessarily mean the level of strength, he also knows that a teenager is at most a junior mage, and the strength of the lower position is only.

"This is the son of the blue, Fila. Coronza, the genius mage of the Viscount Colenza family, now has the strength of a high mage. ”

"Superior strength? How can it be? How old is he? ”

The old Kuwaiti mage looked around and saw that the other mages looked incredulous.

The high-level mage, that is, the strength of the upper position, and with Fira's appearance, he looks like he is only twelve or thirteen years old, which is much stronger than the gifted sons of the major families.

Several of these mages only now remembered that a few days ago, a genius who had developed and improved a new type of spell, the "Blue Son".

"This is the 'Blue Child'!?"

The mages' eyes widened.

And the city lord of Andek was even brighter, and then said to Fira:

"Filipino ......."

"Since it is the city lord's proposal, I naturally will not shirk it."

Without waiting for Andek to finish, Fira spoke up.

And such a move made old Kuwait a little helpless.

Because, at the beginning, these messages were revealed to him by this young man, but he didn't know what the other party meant, if he said that he didn't agree, but how to explain it now?

Under the joint persuasion of the city lord of Andek and the middle-aged mage, several other mages soon agreed.

Although, the reason for these people's promise also has something to do with Fira's promise.

After all, some of them were embarrassed to refuse, and some of them were aware of some of the city lord's methods.

But there were exceptions, such as the mage who was covered in alcohol on the side, who did not hesitate to refuse the city lord's proposal.

Finally, the city lord of Andek set his sights on Kuwait: "What about you? Kuwait Mage! ”

For Kuwait, Andek is a little troubled, because there were more coincidental encounters on top of some "things" before.

And now, seeing the other party's hesitation, he was a little disliked, and even secretly positioned it in the direction of the black mage in his heart.

Although, he knew that the other party could not be a black mage.

Because, since the old mage came to Ferro a few years ago, he spent almost most of his time in his field manor, and rarely went out.

In the same way, there are no enemies who come to seek revenge, and they are immersed in the experiments of spells all day long, as if they have come to find a place to live in seclusion and complete their own experiments.

If it weren't for the previous few times he came out to purchase spell materials, and he also issued some tasks in the mercenary guild to find cherished spell materials, the city lord of Andek might not have even seen him.

"Let's see what this guy wants to do, and it's better to have multiple people go in together!"

Old Kuwait glanced at the indifferent young man, and secretly thought in his heart, but on the surface, he showed a slightly embarrassed look:

"City Lord Andek, you know, I've been busy with experiments recently, very busy, if it weren't for the lack of materials, those few experiments that have reached a critical moment ......"

"Please also ask Your Excellency Kuwait to make time!" The city lord of Andek understood what he meant, and immediately replied: "I know the whereabouts of some of the materials that Mr. Kuwait needs recently, although this kind of materials are more precious, and there are not too many in other cities, but it seems that a caravan recently has some stocks, as long as Mr. Kuwait agrees to act together, I am willing to add these as a reward!" ”

"Thank you so much!" Old Kuwait's eyes lit up, and he didn't expect that there would be these windfalls, but it is estimated that these are also Andek's bottom line.

Old Kuwait was full of smiles in his heart, but he still "struggled" for a long time before finally agreeing.

What an old fox.

When the other mages saw this scene, they couldn't help but curse secretly.

None of them had any objections, though.

Because, now, here, only that genius young mage can be compared to this old Kuwait.

Only these two are High Mages.

Moreover, this old Kuwait is still a high-level mage close to the legendary rank.

After that, several people discussed it together, agreed on a specific time, and then left in a hurry, apparently to prepare the required spell casting materials and tools.

Fila sneered.

For this group of mages who are bent on retiring and have always been pampered, how much power can be exerted in battle, Fira really has no expectations.

For example, one of the "mages" just now.

Although he is called a "mage", because he is always pampered, there is no contact or familiarity with both knowledge and spell skills.

Even if it is a mage apprentice, basic spells can still be cast, and that mage, even whether he can cast spells is a problem.

However, speaking of which, it doesn't matter at all whether these people have the strength or not.

He didn't come here for some aristocratic city lord to help.

This is just a doppelganger made for the planned layout.

ps: It's on the shelves, although not many people watch it, but I feel like it can continue? (To be continued.) )
