(7000+ today, ask for recommendation votes!)

The fluctuations of Donald's spells cast in the ghetto, and the movements caused by the attacks of his minions, can be heard in most of the civilian areas.

Among them, the first to react were the mages of the Mage Club, and the mages who had reached the bronze level had a spiritual power detection range of at least hundreds of steps, and if they specialized in using detection spells, they could easily cross most of the Boulder City.

And there is no one who is as familiar and sensitive as those mages with high spiritual power to the fluctuations of spells.

There was a battle in Boulder City, and one side was still a mage, and several high-level mages led by Messer used their flying skills to rush here.

By the time the teacher and several bronze mages arrived at the scene, the battle was over.

"Master Donald, have you been attacked? Who is so bold?"

One of the bronze mages said angrily.

Donald spread his hands and said:

"I'm fine, all the masters, teachers, and assassins have all been solved by me, and there were originally two alive mouths, but unfortunately I didn't ask anything!"

It turned out that with these few words, the remaining seriously injured assassin was silent.

Messer comforted:

"It doesn't matter if you can't ask, these are estimated to be dead soldiers, and they can generally only be traced from other traces!"

Messer was very worried about the safety of his apprentice, but after all, he was the first mage of North County, and his mood quickly calmed down, and he said to several mages behind him:

"I'll take little Donald back to the club to check it first, you can stay here to protect the scene, see what traces can be found, if there is any trouble here, then you can dispose of it as you want, and you don't have to save face for anyone!"

Several bronze mages immediately reassured Messer that they knew what to do.

A few people who are familiar with Messer know that the old mage is really angry this time, his first two apprentices have died in the struggle between the kingdom's forces, so they are the most disgusted by the things that the various forces are pouring into each other.

Donald is his favorite apprentice, and his talent is rare in a century, if he has not developed his ambition and dies in the small Boulder City, then he will inevitably find out the mastermind behind the scenes and bury his apprentice.

Messer, who took Donald, didn't cast any more flying spells, even for a bronze peak mage like him, it was very difficult to cast two fifth-level spells in a row, and if it wasn't necessary, it was better not to consume too much mana.

When the city guards arrived at the scene, they found that there were only a few bronze mages guarding here, and the parties had already left for a long time.

And a few high-ranking mages on weekdays stayed at the scene to investigate carefully, not letting go of any detail, and not letting anyone approach, which made it very difficult for the city guard commander who got the city lord's order, and the mages who were angry didn't care about the city lord's order, let alone his small city guard captain.

Even the captain faintly doubted in his heart if the city lord had something to do with this matter, otherwise how could he get the news as soon as possible, order him to rush to the scene, and still deal with the traces left by the assassin quietly?

However, knowing that the water was deep here, it was not something that he could intervene in as a small city guard captain, so he wisely remained silent and did not say anything.

On the same day, the Mage Guild issued a notice to all nobles and factions in the Northern County, looking for the forces to assassinate the official mage of the Guild.

This kind of assassination of mages in broad daylight has not happened for decades, and this time these mages who have always been either nested in the laboratory or meditating and cultivating, and rarely appear in front of people, are serious, and many secret forces are implicated.

After some searching, although the main owner of this matter was not found, it was involved that the two foreign intelligence organizations in Boulder City were uprooted, and it also directly or indirectly disrupted the layout of many forces in North County.

Basically, affected by this, the underground forces in the area of Boulder City have stopped their current business and hid for the time being, so as not to be implicated in the wrath of the mages.

Still in the underground secret building, the young black-clothed leader looked at his kneeling subordinates in front of him and asked:

"So, you guys were defeated head-on by the Cup target after the raid?"

"Yes, Lord Chief, the strength of the other party is far above the Black Iron Mage, and he summoned a bronze level demonic beast, and the three black crows were eliminated in one look, if it weren't for my quick reaction, even if I escaped underground, I am afraid that I would be caught by another flying monster!"

"Very well, you go down!"

After the subordinate left, the tall man in black behind him asked in a loud voice:

"Chief, they have failed, do you need to send more men?"

"What are you doing? Do you want to avenge them? This time, the people sent are all diehards of the old man in the secret group, whether the assassination is successful or not, these people can't stay, and now that they are dead, we still have to deal with them!"

"I'm very interested in that little mage, he was able to single-handedly subvert the perfect attack designed by the dark group, it is said that he has just been promoted to black iron mage, even if it is a rare summoner, this strength is too amazing!"

"But what do you want to do with the Viscount?"

The young leader said nonchalantly:

"Explain what? Since he has assigned us this kind of task, that is, he no longer treats us as cronies, and sends someone to pass on the message, saying that the wind is too tight now, and we will not be able to communicate with the government for a while, and the old man wishes that we should hide so as not to be caught by the mages and bite him out!"

"Anyway, our real elites are hiding in the south outside of Boulder City, this is just an empty shell, even if the old man wants to betray us, he can abandon the stronghold here and get out in time!"

While the whole of North County was stirred up by the assassination of a mage, Donald, as a party, had been ordered by his teacher Messer to stay in the clubhouse for three days.

In addition to practicing spells and reading in the library for the past three days, Messer will arrange certain courses for him in addition to handling affairs. In the past three days, Donald has made great progress in the study of alchemy, and he can basically prepare several simple potions according to the recipe.

Of course, this is also a relationship between the practices in the chemistry class in the previous life, otherwise it would not be so easy to get started. After all, he had been studying alchemy for less than a month, and this knowledge required a solid foundation the most.

However, after three days of leisurely stay in the clubhouse, Donald felt a little upset and irritable, although he had sent Clinton to deliver a letter to the manor, but when he heard the news of his assassination, the butler must have been very worried!

So after Clinton returned with a letter and brought George Bush with him, Donald asked the teacher to leave and return to the manor.

After all, the manor is new, and there are still many things that he needs to make up his mind.

Looking at the three fully armed soldiers who are not elite soldiers of the kingdom, at least they all have guards with strength above the middle of the black iron, and considering Donald's strength, the enemy of ordinary bronze strength may not be able to hurt him, Messer is still relatively relieved about the safety of his apprentice.

Moreover, the mage club made such a big move, just to make it look like deterring those unscrupulous forces, and because of the deterrence of the entire North County mage, it is estimated that no force will be dizzy and dare to fight Donald again.

So the old mage nodded and let him go, and Donald, who had been bored for a few days, left here and rushed to the civilian area to continue his unfinished purpose.

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

William's family is also considered a wealthy family in this area of the civilian area, and when it comes to the mage attendant William, the civilians in this area will show envy. Being able to work in the mysterious mage guild and get in touch with those powerful mages is an enviable and undesirable errand in the wealthy area.

What's more, the mages have always been stingy, and William's monthly salary is enough to support the family, plus the occasional tip, he can afford his two sons to study under the swordsman.

Although neither he nor his first two sons had the talent to become mages, it was regrettable that William's childhood dream was difficult to realize. But this life has made him very satisfied. And since taking the genius mage, William has pinned his hopes on his youngest son, hoping that he will become a real mage, even if it is only a formal apprentice.

But all these hopes, all of them, were dashed when he was fired a few days ago for no reason.

Since getting up in the morning, William has been depressed and silent, and his wife has been comforting him for a while, and he has not improved, so he went out to work.

She also had a job as a helper in a businessman's family in a wealthy area, taking care of the clothes of her employer's daughters, changing sizes, and doing some sewing work to support the family. Although women workers are generally not as skilled as real tailors, this is a compromise option for small merchant families who cannot afford to hire professional tailors.

After his wife left, his youngest son, who was not yet five years old, was playing alone in the yard, and William sat in front of the door and watched. In fact, his mind was tangled.

"To go or not to go, maybe the lord has forgotten about me!"

Before, he revealed some news of the club to the noble mage, and in exchange for a verbal promise for himself, if there is any difficulty, he can seek the help of the lord who is now more than the average nobleman.

But what the big man said casually is likely to be forgotten later, and he will remember himself as a little waiter. William was afraid that he would not even be able to see the adult face after asking for help, but if he continued like this, his own family would not be able to open the pot, so he was in a dilemma.

Just as William was struggling with whether to go or not, he heard a voice outside the door.

"Excuse me, is Mr. William at home?"

William raised his head and looked out of the door, and saw four gorgeously dressed people standing in front of the door, in front of him was a tall man who looked like a noble guard, and the noble young man behind him who was under the arch of the two attendants was not the genius mage and noble young master that he had been thinking about these days?

William couldn't believe for a moment that a nobleman, and a great mage, would come to visit his humble home.

However, many years of experience as a waiter made him react quickly, and hurriedly ran forward to open the wooden door, bowed and saluted:

"Master Mage, it's William's honor to see you again!"

Donald smiled and said:

"Why, William, won't you invite me in?"

William was a little flattered when he heard this, and at the same time said with some shame:

"It's so shabby here, how can you let Master Mage get your clothes dirty!"

Donald chuckled to show that he didn't care, and when he pushed the door and walked into the courtyard of William's house, the attendant Clinton naturally followed.

Although the yard is small, it is very neat and not much clutter. It can be seen that William's family are diligent and clean people. This made Donald, who came with a purpose, more satisfied.

William saw that the big man did not dislike his own simplicity, and walked in very politely, so he had to respectfully invite the other party into the house to sit and talk.
