Chapter 23: The Surprise of the Mage's Apprentice
After sunrise, Li De got into the carriage of the Jinmai Chamber of Commerce.
The devastated guards and merchants of the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce should have had a depressed face and a languid expression...... After all, there was a robbery.
But at this time, it was the opposite, in several teams of fellow chambers of commerce, these guards of the Jinmai Chamber of Commerce, whose clothes were tattered and the carriage was damaged, were full of smiles and high spirits.
This makes many people puzzled, why are they so happy when they have encountered robbers?
The goddess is on top, it must be that these guys are crazy.
But when they heard the specific news, they couldn't help but be envious and jealous.
It turned out to be a senior mage of the Mage Association, and Lord Li De Kachar bought the Golden Wheat Association.
This group of dirt buns is going to have good luck, and the Chamber of Commerce with a high-level mage shelter is undoubtedly much better off in Green City.
The scene that made them envious immediately appeared.
When passing through the city gate of Green City, as usual, the guard officer guarding the city gate was ready to stop the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce.
Although this group of unlucky guys knew at a glance that they had been robbed, it did not prevent them from preparing to extort a sum of money from this group of merchants.
Under everyone's gaze, Li De appeared, and the luxurious magic robe instantly silenced the guard officer who was about to speak.
Hell, how can the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce have a mage?! This group of arrogant lords is more difficult to mess with than the aristocracy.
His face immediately turned into a smile, "Your Excellency, I'm sorry I didn't expect you to be in the ranks of the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce."
Li De said lightly: "The Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce will be under the protection of the Scarlet Mage Tower from today, and in the future, the entry and exit of the city will be paid in accordance with the laws of the kingdom." ”
Scarlet Mage Tower?
Hearing this, the escort team immediately didn't dare to say more, it was a mage tower established by a high-level mage, could it be that this is the legendary genius mage, His Excellency Master Li De Kachar?
"Please come in, the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce will not be blocked by the soldiers of Green City in the future, you can rest assured"
The guard officer's face was full of humility, and he did not have the slightest swagger in front of the other caravans.
As a high-ranking figure who stood at the top of the pyramid like the nobles, the mage enjoyed treatment that was not comparable to that of ordinary merchants and commoners.
No matter how bold the soldiers guarding the city gate were, they didn't dare to blackmail a high-ranking mage.
Li De nodded, and casually threw out a kimpuk, which hovered in front of the guard officer under the control of the mage's hand.
"This is a reward for you"
Kimpuk? The guard officer didn't expect this kind of surprise, he didn't have that much salary for two months.
Hurriedly took it excitedly, and commanded the personnel in the rear to let the convoy pass.
After Li De left, the guard officer immediately smiled triumphantly at the dozen or so soldiers beside him.
"See? This is the reward of the master of the mage, compared to those filthy commoners and merchants, this is the true aristocratic style, today I invite everyone to go to the azalea Xiangwan to drink, taste the taste of the flowers of Greentown.
In the future, wipe your eyes with bright spots, and the Jinmai Chamber of Commerce will not be allowed to stop you again."
The guard's words instantly caused an uproar among the soldiers defending the city.
The businessman next to him was full of envy, jealousy and hatred when he saw this scene.
A half-day later.
The carriage of the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce carrying Li De stopped in front of the Scarlet Mage Tower, and the rest of the carriages had already returned to the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce.
Laurent opened the wooden carriage door and respectfully set up the short ladder for dismounting.
"Lord Li De, please"
Li De did not shirk, and got out of the carriage in three or two steps.
Looking up, the twenty-five-blade-high crimson mage tower in front of him looked extremely spectacular.
Scarlet Mage's Tower.
This was the first time that Li De had observed this mage tower that belonged to him so carefully.
The tower is round, with a square spire at the top, and the red alchemy material on the outer wall has good magic channeling, which can gather magic power faster.
It cost him 1,000 kimpuks to build this mage tower, and there are many precious magic materials that are sponsored by the mage guild for free, and if all of them are converted into kimpuk, the cost may triple.
In front of the Scarlet Mage Tower is a wide bluestone floor, passers-by will subconsciously bypass it, even if there are no marks on it and are not allowed to move, but the reputation of the mage still makes these passers-by consciously stay away.
"Come in with me"
"Yes, Lord Lee."
After walking through the bluestone ground and climbing the twelve steps, Li De used the mage's hand to push open the door of the five-blade-high mage tower.
There are as many as ten magic circles carved on the gate of the Mage Tower, and a specific magic power is required to open the gate.
Because the Mage's Hand is the simplest part of the magic, it is a necessary spell for the mage's apprentice, so the Mage's Hand was designated by Li De as the key to open the door to the Scarlet Mage Tower.
Enter a certain amount of mana before you can use the mage's hand to push the door open, otherwise you can only ring the magic doorbell outside or wait for the person from the mage tower to come out.
Li De sometimes has some feelings about this world, maybe there is nothing modern, but it is obvious that he has embarked on a different path, and the derivative use of magic is not without merit.
Entering the Mage Tower, the first floor of the hall is the widest and favorite floor of the Mage's apprentices.
The space here is large enough to practice magic without fear of destroying things and triggering magic circles.
After seeing Li De come back, the dozen or so apprentices in the hall stopped their movements and hurriedly saluted him respectfully.
"Lord Lee"
"You're back, Lord Lee."
"Master Li De, I'll pour you tea"
Li De nodded slightly, and gestured to Laurent, who was looking around with curiosity on his face.
"In the future, the Scarlet Mage Tower will be the master of the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce.
This is Laurent, and the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce is in charge of it, you can get to know each other, and you will often deal with each other in the future."
A group of mage apprentices looked at Laurent curiously, this was the first time that the Scarlet Mage Tower had accepted the Chamber of Commerce outside.
In the past, Li De had never been indifferent to anything other than magic.
"Colley, go and help me get Vina down, and take Laurent to the Pact Temple to buy a contract"
The Temple of Contract was built by the believers of the God of Contract and Justice, and it contains contracts that have been approved by the God of Contract.
If someone violates the contract after signing it, then they will be punished by the God of Contract and Justice.
Therefore, signing a contract has become a common scene in business activities.
A young man stepped forward and led Laurent down.
looked at Li De, the mage apprentice who was looking at him, stunned for a moment,
Immediately, it was realized that the previous ancestor of the Blood Clan was completely free-range, and he had not taught this group of mage apprentices a few times at all.
Seeing the eagerness in their eyes, after hesitating for a moment, they were still moved by the eyes full of curiosity.
There were more than twenty seats in the center of the first floor of the Mage Tower, and Li De stepped forward to sit on the main seat.
Let's teach these little ones a lesson today.
"Okay, today while I have time, if you have any questions about magic, you can ask me questions, give you two sunset time."
There was silence in the air, and everyone looked at him in disbelief.
This group of apprentices thought that Li De would leave as usual, but they didn't expect that they would offer to instruct everyone in magic.
This is the first time in three years.
"Lord Li De, what you said is true?"
Looking at those cautious eyes, the corners of Li De's mouth twitched, the ancestor of the blood clan really took these apprentices as inappropriate people before.
"Nonsense, don't sit down quickly, I'll leave if I don't want to ask"
After getting Li De's confirmation, everyone hurriedly sat down in order and looked at him excitedly one by one.
Although Li De's contact with magic has been shorter than that of this group of mage apprentices, he can't hold back the memory of the ancestor of the blood clan, and it is still possible to answer some normal magic questions.
"Lord Li De, why does the mage's hand have inconsistent effects when it is released?"
"Cast a spell for me? Well, your situation is an imbalance in the control of mana, remember that the magic must be performed according to a certain amount of magic to operate the magic model, once the amount of magic is not right, then there will be several situations.
One is that the spell fails to be cast and the magic model cannot be activated.
The second is that because of too much magic power, the magic model collapses, and you will be counterattacked by spells.
The third is your case, because of the difference in magic power, although the release is successful, but the effect obtained after each spell is also different.
It's very simple to solve, you just need to exercise more mana control, cast spells to find the best mana output point"
Li De spoke eloquently without hesitation at all.
"So that's the case, Master Li De must have gained a lot from going out this time, otherwise how could he have said it so thoroughly"
"It's amazing~"
The eyes of a group of mage apprentices immediately lit up, for them, it was the first time that they had been taught by Li De so personally after entering the magic tower for so long.
In the past, at most, Li De handed over the magic model to them and let them practice it by themselves, not to mention the detailed explanation now, even if there was a mistake, he didn't bother to answer.
For this reason, several apprentices have been seriously injured due to magic backlash caused by practice mistakes.
But they have nothing to complain about, and being able to enter the Mage's Tower and access the mysterious magic is already Lady Luck's favor.
Li De couldn't help but shake his head a little as he looked at the eager eyes of this group of apprentices.
The ancestor of the blood clan didn't want to teach these apprentices at all, he just used them as a cover for his identity, if he hadn't come, no matter how talented these apprentices were, it would be difficult for them to become real mages.
"What a waste, these mage apprentices are precious resources."
Although the Blood Clan is a natural spellcaster, if he can cultivate a group of qualified mages in Green City, it will definitely help him no less.
Regardless of the world, talent is the most valuable resource.
And the spellcaster is undoubtedly the top figure in this world.
While there is still time, he plans to really teach this batch of apprentices, these ancestors of the blood clan will not be used, then he is welcome.
