In the temple.

"Lord Egger, there's news from the east that Master Li Xuan has clashed with the magicians from the Empire. A guard reported to Egger.

Iger looked at the guards and asked, "The Empire's mage group has arrived so soon, and what is the reason for the conflict?"

"I received news that three Venerable Venerables, Venerable Sid, and Venerable Diribair, had become Master Li Xuan's apprentices. A mage named Ian in the Imperial Mage Corps insulted Master Li Xuan, and then was sent flying by Master Li Xuan's magic, but the person did not die, he just fainted. There is also Master Li Xuan, who asked for compensation from a man named Simon for 100,000 gold coins. The guard quickly reported what he had heard.

When Egger heard the last, he was stunned for a moment and asked him, "Master Li Xuan asked them to compensate for 100,000 gold coins?"

"Yes, Lord Egger, 100,000 gold coins or cut out Ian's tongue, Master Li Xuan said. The guard affirmed.

Iger gestured to the kettle on the table, "Hand it to me." ”

Taking the kettle handed over by the guard, Egger drank all the water in the kettle and licked his lips, still feeling a little dry in his mouth.

Carroston Interior Hall.

"Lord Orin!" a hurried voice followed the sound of footsteps.

Orin looked up and looked over, it was a small official named Jeff from the Department of Internal Affairs, who was sweating profusely and panting at the moment.

"What's wrong, Jeff?" Orin asked.

After taking a few deep breaths, Jeff spoke: "Lord Orin, something happened to the Magic Guild, Master Ian and Master Li Xuan had a conflict, Master Ian was disrespectful and was knocked unconscious by Master Li Xuan, and Master Li Xuan also asked Master Ian for compensation of 100,000 gold coins. ”

After listening to this, Orin opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know what to say, and finally got up and said to Jeff, "Go and help me prepare the carriage, and I'll go over at once." ”

Jeff answered, then turned and walked away quickly. Orin quickly sorted out some of the papers on the table, put them in a drawer, locked them, walked out of the Interior Hall quickly, got into the carriage, and rushed directly to the Magic Guild.

After getting into the car, Orin's mood was a little anxious, whether it was the Magic Guild or Master Li Xuan, it was very important to him, on the one hand, the new resident magician sent by the empire, and on the other hand, Li Xuan, he didn't want to offend either side.

Orin knew that this time it was Patrick, one of the mainstays of the Imperial Magic Guild, the deacon mage of the sub-tower of the Sicorrese Magic Spire, and the high-ranking water magician in the Imperial Capital, and the Carroston Magic Guild had prepared a grand dinner for this, and the invitation to the dinner had been sent to Orin.

Now that the time for the dinner is running out, Ian, a student of Master Patrick, actually had a conflict with Li Xuan, and was knocked unconscious by Li Xuan, there must be something wrong with this, as the city lord of Carostone, he must go over as soon as possible to find out.

Although he has not known Li Xuan for a long time, Li Xuan gives him the impression that he is humble, kind, and easy to talk, not at all like a person who will take the initiative to stir up trouble, and he has heard of the arrogance of Master Patrick and his student Ian. Li Xuan asked Ian for 100,000 gold coins, which made Orin not know what to say, no matter what, Master Patrick would definitely not sit idly by, and might even ask his students for an explanation.

Orin thought about it a lot, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, Li Xuan was the first high-level magician he knew in the true sense, although Li Xuan had no foundation, but it was precisely because of this that Li Xuan would settle in Carroston, and he would accept Vivien and teach her magic, not to mention that his life was saved by Li Xuan.

It wasn't until the carriage stopped that Orin came to his senses.

After getting out of the carriage, Orin walked straight to the magic guild, today's magic guild is a little different from the past, there are a lot of carriages at the door, it is a convoy from the empire, Orin saw many badges in the convoy, some know and some don't know. But it was only a quick glance at Orin who entered the Magic Guild, and as soon as he entered, he saw what Mage Giroud and two young male mages Orin had never seen were talking about.

"Master Giroud. Olin said hello to Giroud.

Giroud saw that it was Orin, and he introduced it with a complicated expression: "Viscount Orin, this is Mage Deric, this is Mage Kim, both of them are mages from the Empire this time, and they will stay in Carouston for a long time. ”

"Mage Darek, Mage Kim, this Viscount of Orin, the ruling lord of the city of Carroston. Giroud continued.

Orin greeted the two mages warmly: "Master Deric, Master Kim, welcome to Carroston, please call me by my name Orin, haha, it's a great pleasure to meet you." Your presence has given Carloston a lot of strength. ”

"So do we, Viscount Orin. Nice to meet you. Mage Derrick smiled and nodded to Orin.

"Thank you for your welcome, Viscount Orin, if you have something to ask Master Giroud, then we will go and pack our bags first, so as not to disturb your conversation. Kim said understandingly, and left with Darik.

Orin smiled as he watched the two slowly leave, then looked at Giroud with a restrained smile: "Giroud, we are old friends, you have to tell me, what happened?"

Giroud looked at Orin helplessly and said to him: "This matter is very complicated, the hall is not the place to talk, let's go upstairs to talk." ”

On the other side of the Magic Guild, the mage's living quarters.

"Anita, Anita, open the door, Anita. Lillian shouted as she patted on a wooden door.

The wooden door opened, and a woman in a simple brown cotton dress opened it with one hand, her hair coiled over her head with the other.

"Lillian, haven't you gone to change your clothes yet?" asked Anita.

"You're the only one in the entire Magic Guild who is so calm. Lillian pushed the door in.

Anita smiled and said to her, "If you're referring to Ian, people who are too arrogant always have to pay, and Ian always forgets the family motto of the Gran family. ”

Lilian thought for a moment and asked her, "What is the family motto of the Glenn family?"

"Recognize the person standing in front of you. Anita said with a smile.

Lillian frowned, her pretty eyes a little confused, and she murmured, "Recognize the person standing in front of you?"

"I'm not talking about Ian, I almost forgot about it when you interrupted me like this. Lilian shook her head, a little excited.

"Anita, what I want to say is Master Li Xuan!"

"What do you want to say?" asked Anita.

Lilian raised her hands, clasped her cheeks in the palms of her hands, and said, "Oh my God, Anita, don't you think Master Li Xuan is really too handsome?"

Anita looked at Lilian with a smile, and recalled Li Xuan's appearance in her head, although she was dressed very ordinarily, her straight nose, slender eyebrows, and indifferent eyes were indeed very handsome.

Ignoring Lilian's next ramblings, Anita continued to tie her hair and tidy up the room.

In Anita's opinion, Li Xuan was undoubtedly a powerful high-level mage, but when he opened his mouth to extort 100,000 gold coins, Anita sentenced him to death in her heart. Not to mention the power and influence of the Gran family in the Arissanret Empire, Patrick, the high-level magician who is about to arrive at Caroston, is the hurdle he has stepped over.

Ian's arrogance and disrespectful words angered Li Xuan, and attracted Li Xuan's punishment, and Anita felt that Ian was completely to blame. On that occasion, even if Mage Patrick was on the scene, he would not stop Li Xuan from punishing Ian, because this was the most basic majesty of a high-level magician.

But after Li Xuan punished Ian, he opened his mouth to extort 100,000 gold coins, and he crossed the line, and the 10,000 gold coins that Quincy said, Anita felt that it was already very, very sincere, and Li Xuan even threatened to cut off his tongue. This makes Anita think very badly of him, even though he is a very handsome and powerful high-level magician.

Anita could already imagine what it would be like when Mage Patrick arrived in Carouston in the evening and saw a scarred Ian.

With a borderline mage without roots on one side and a deacon mage of the incomparably powerful spire of Sicorres on the other, the result is obvious.

There may be another scenario, Anita imagines that after Li Xuan meets Patrick and learns his identity, he directly joins the camp of the Magic Spire of Sicorres, and does not mention anything about compensation at all.

At this moment, Li Xuan's manor was in full swing.

Feuerbach took the servants selected by Li Xuan and a group of temporary workers to clean up the manor that had been idle for more than a year.

On the third floor of the main building of the manor, in the gazebo that had been simply cleaned up, Li Xuan, with Vivian and Boris, was communicating with the three mages.

Most of them were three mages, and Li Xuan listened quietly.

Suddenly, Li Xuan opened his mouth and asked, "What do you say is the Sicorrese Magic Spire?"
