Judging from the expression on the blonde Lori's face at this moment, D'Addarion's previous guess was obviously all right.

"Wood of Life, tsk. The president of the Magician Association lamented that the Tree of Life is an important treasure second only to the World Tree for the elves, no, there is still no conclusion on whether the latter exists or not, so there is no problem even if the Tree of Life is the most important treasure of the elves.

There is only one tree of life in the entire elven world, which is the foundation of maintaining the elven race, and any attempt to destroy the tree of life will be regarded as a declaration of war on the elves.

However, as one of the additional conditions for ending the Second Magical War, the elves were forced to send a branch of the Tree of Life to the headquarters of the Wizards Guild, and research on the Tree of Life began at that time.

All the existing information about the Tree of Life in the Wizards Association comes from this, this is indeed a very magical material, not only has a super high elemental affinity, but also has the effect of hiding magic fluctuations, if it is used to make a staff, it is a foul, but it is not easy to get a small section from the elves to do research, and if you want to ask for more to make a staff, the elves will probably have to work hard.

Therefore, when he saw the emerald staff in the girl's hand, which was made of the tree of life, even D'Ardarion couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

How did the guys in the temple do it, they could even get their hands on this kind of thing, and if they were discovered by the elves, they wouldn't be afraid of triggering a new round of war?

However, the president of the Magician Guild obviously didn't have time to think about this kind of problem, because the remaining seven people didn't intend to stand on the sidelines and watch the excitement, and they moved together at the same time as the blonde Lori made a move.

In the face of this sloppy man in front of him, no one dared to take it lightly! The eight of them had a twelve-point spirit from the very beginning!

The other party is the manager of all the magicians in Gudris City, the most proud disciple of the ninth-order super mage master Steins, and at that time, he was a super genius who was expected to compete for the strongest title alongside Olavien.

You can't let up for a moment when dealing with such a guy, and any seemingly small mistake can lead to a situation from which you will never recover.

The battle officially kicked off at this moment!

............

Rob didn't look up, and said lightly, "Since you're here, don't hide." ”

After a few more moments, a voice came from the darkness, and the voice asked curiously, "How did you find me? My footsteps, breath, smell, and even momentum have all been reduced to a minimum, there is no heartbeat or body temperature, and even high-level reconnaissance magic can't detect my existence, how do you know?"

"There's no particular reason for that, it's the so-called sixth sense. His Excellency the future Ultra Magus stopped his pen, closed the notebook in his hand, and stood up from the ground.

"Ahh The voice said this, and came out of the darkness, but it was an old man with a slumped body and an unremarkable appearance.

Rob thought for a moment, "Dean, is that the name of the shadow stalker next to Mortellis, and what is your relationship with him?"

"That guy who didn't make it was my student. The old man sighed, "That's why I don't like to accept apprentices, I always want to scold them at ordinary times, I don't do well here and there, but once I get the news that they are dead, I will still be very sad, I have to collect the corpses of my students at this age, it will really be very troublesome, so please wait for you to do okay, let's die quickly, okay?" The old man said as he bowed, looking sorry for the trouble.

His Excellency the future Ultra Magister sighed, "So, you're here to avenge your student tonight?"

"No, no, no, don't get me wrong, unlike my stupid apprentice, I have to charge money for doing things, and it's very expensive, so revenge or something is just casual talk, in fact, the most taboo in doing our business is to mix work and personal feelings. The old man looked very experienced, "I actually don't like killing magicians very much, because it takes more time, last time I killed an eighth-order great mage master, I was equivalent to more than half a year, and that guy came down from his mage tower, but it was quite fast to really move." ”

"How much did the temple pay you to kill me?" Rob raised an eyebrow.

"300,000 gold coins, you have to admit that the price is impossible to refuse. The old man was very happy to reveal his income from this order.

"It's a pity that you're asking for a bit low. His Excellency the future Supermage expressed regret for this.

"It's okay, I've always been very content, and I'm already very satisfied that I can earn 200,000 gold coins by killing someone. The old man was very reasonable, "If the price is set too high, the employer will not come to me again after he doesn't make money, and we must know how to do it for a long time." ”

"No, you seem to have misunderstood me, I said that the asking price was low, which meant that I felt sorry for you, because I didn't expect that the number one killer in the dark world would give away his life for a mere 300,000 gold coins, I think your life can still be worth a little more. ”

The old man was a little surprised, "Do you know who I am?" and then shook his head, "Really, are all young people so confident nowadays? Being able to see through my hiding place doesn't mean that you can block my attacks, so please try to keep up with my movements, dear Mr. Magician." ”

After the old man said the last word, the temperament of the whole person suddenly changed drastically, the original old appearance of the dragon clock disappeared, his movements were as fast as a cheetah, and his steps were as light as a tanuki, the shadow stalker named Dean that Rob and D'Ardarion met at the dinner party at the Earl's Court before, his speed was already fast, but compared to the old man, Dean seemed to be the older one.

The name of the number one killer in the dark world is not blown out, but is piled up by one human head after another, this kind of thing can't be faked at all, because killers are different from other professions, and once they miss, it often means that they will lose their lives.

So in a sense, being able to live to this age is a testament to its strength.

The old man's form completely blended with the darkness, bringing out the characteristics of the shadow stalker to the fullest, and his speed even exceeded the time limit, comparable to the teleportation of magicians.

Just as the short knife in his hand was about to slash Rob's neck, the future Arch Magister made a move that defied common sense - he actually closed his eyes.
