An old mage in a golden robe stood at the window, staring intently at a group of humanoid warriors in the open space outside, and beside him stood a middle-aged mage in a silver robe.

The middle-aged mage suddenly pointed out the window and said excitedly: "Master Kalimi, look at those soldiers! They all have fine-grade enchanted swords in their hands! Even I can only refine one fine-level enchanted equipment in a month." But how many ...... do I see now? At least eighty pieces!wait, those warriors still have shields on their backs...... The gods are on top! Those shields are also enchanted equipment!"

The old magician's cloudy eyes flashed with a gleam, and his face showed greed that could not be concealed.

The middle-aged mage said solemnly: "Collect taxes! You must collect taxes! All enchanted equipment must be under the jurisdiction of the Mage Association! The Mage Association is the ultimate destination of all mages!"

Kalimi nodded and said, "That's right, the Mage Guild is the final destination for all mages. We should build a bridge between the mage and the world, and they just need to concentrate on exploring the path of magic. For an average mage, these enchanted equipment are too dangerous. They should be in the hands of the Mage Guild, and it is up to the wise to decide what they are used for and where they go. ”

"You're so wise!" the middle-aged mage rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "If it is exclusively operated by the Mage Guild, these equipment can increase our annual income by at least thirty percent......!"

Kalimi said in a deep voice, "Give him the position of a silver-robed mage!"

The middle-aged mage was stunned for a moment, and said, "Silver-robed mage, this is the top of the association, he doesn't look like he's even more than twenty years old! We have been fighting on the path of magic for longer than his entire life! In addition, several of the mages who want to be promoted to silver-robed this year will be sixty years old." If this place is given to Richard, what will those respected old mages think?"

"That's a real problem. Kalimi thought for a moment and said, "But, if I'm not mistaken, they're just barely at level ten, right? Richard has level twelve, one level higher than you." Also, look at the young man beside him......" The old mage looked at Reilly, a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes: "He will definitely not be more than thirty years old, but he has already reached the fifteenth level!"

"Master, the silver robe is a symbol of noble status and should be given to those mages who have made outstanding contributions to the guild, and rank is not the only criterion. If Richard were to occupy a spot, we would have to turn down an experienced old mage. In my opinion, it is enough to give him the status of a silver-robed candidate. ”

Kalimi sighed and said, "I see what you mean. But don't forget, Richard was able to reach the height of the twelfth level at this age, and there must be a high-level mage behind him! Just by virtue of this, he was also eligible for a silver-robed position. ”

"But......" The middle-aged mage still wanted to hold on, but was interrupted by the old mage waving his hand. Although he didn't dare to say anything more, the middle-aged mage's heart felt like a thorn in his heart at the thought of the benefits promised by the silver-robed candidate.

Kalimi gave the middle-aged mage a deep look and said, "Okay, it's time for us to go out too." Young people today don't have much patience. ”

By the time the two men came out of the bedroom, Richard and Reilly had been standing in the hall for a full ten minutes. After Kalimi sat down in the middle chair, he smiled and said to Richard, "You are Richard, you are really young." ”

The middle-aged mage sat on the chair on the far right, and without waiting for Richard to answer, he said with a calm face: "This is Master Kalimi, and he is also an elder of the Sequoia Kingdom Mage Association. All mages are subject to the management of the Mage Guild, and it is a rare honor for the master to come to your territory in person!"

Richard ignored the middle-aged mage, but looked at Kalimi and said, "Master Kalimi, you didn't come to the Blue Water Oasis just to visit this ruined city, right?"

Kalimi motioned to the middle-aged mage, who said unceremoniously, "Richard, we have found that a large amount of enchanted equipment has flowed into the Sequoia Kingdom from you, and this is true!"

"That's right, these are equipped from my teacher's workshop. Richard said lightly.

The middle-aged mage snorted and said with a cold face: "In the Sequoia Kingdom, the franchise of all fine-grade enchanted equipment belongs to the Mage Guild! If you want to sell enchanted equipment to the lords in the kingdom, you must pay taxes!"

"What about the tax rate?" asked Richard quietly.

"For every ten pieces of enchanted equipment, three must be handed over to the Mage Guild...... No, four! as taxes!" The middle-aged mage's voice grew louder and louder, and the greed in his eyes could not be concealed at all.

Richard's face sank, and he was about to say something, when Kalimi, who was sitting in the middle, tapped lightly on the armrest of his seat. So, the middle-aged mage immediately fell silent. The old mage was quite satisfied with his majesty, he coughed, and said, "Richard, the Mage Guild is the final destination of all mages, and we collect taxes to provide financial support for mages, and finally let the light of magic shine on the whole of Faro. As mages, we don't have to get involved in dirty money dealings. So, you can also sell all of your enchanted equipment directly to the Mage Guild, which I personally recommend you to choose. ”

Richard pulled a longsword from the waist of one of the Dawn Knights and threw it to Kalimi: "And what about the price? ”

The old mage took the sword and looked at it carefully. This is the triple enchanted longsword that Reilly equipped for the Dawning Knight, which has one more enchantment effect than the one sold, and it is only one step away from the excellent level. In Kalimi's eyes, the material and casting of this long sword, as well as the method of enchantment, are all the best choice. Only a skilled magician can make such a good product.

Richard looked at Kalimi and then at Reilly, and a deep smile appeared on his face. Even in Norland, fine-tier equipment often has only two enchantment effects. It's not that the Norlanders can't make triple enchanted equipment, it's just that the cost of doing so is too high, and the cost performance is far less than that of double enchantment. On the other hand, mages who are capable of crafting triple enchanted equipment are often also able to craft Norland's standard epic gear (aka excellent gear in Reilly's eyes). So, no one will waste time making a fine-level triple enchanted gear.

However, since Reilly can make his troops use this triple enchantment equipment in large quantities, it means that the plane behind him has a magical civilization ahead of Noland!

The old mage let out a long breath and said, "The quality of this enchanted sword is very good......! Purchased for 2,000 gold coins each. ”

"How much?" Despite the premonition, Kalimi's greed was still beyond Richard and Reilly's imagination. Even in Norland, the cost of making this longsword was more than two thousand gold coins.

Kalimi also seemed to feel that this was a bit excessive, so he added, "Don't worry, I'm not done yet! Looking at the entire Mage Association, the status of the silver-robed mage is also quite high. ”

"Wait a minute, I have a question. Reilly smiled and said, "Excuse me, is there a legendary powerhouse in the Mage Association?"

Facing Reilly, who was also level fifteen, the old mage's expression became much more serious. At the age of the former, he was almost destined to become an archmage in the future. He said solemnly, "Although the Mage Association does not have a legendary powerhouse in charge, there are eleven noble archmages. ”

"I see. Reilly nodded and said, "Come on, kill them for me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several large holes were suddenly smashed into the wooden wall, and ten Dawn Knights burst into the hall and rushed forward with the two Dawning Knights behind Reilly, cutting down the mage's guards to the ground.

The middle-aged mage jumped up, pointed at Reilly's nose and shouted, "You want to go against the three hundred noble mages of the Sequoia Kingdom?"

"Shut up!" Kalimi first scolded the middle-aged mage, then put on a smiling face and said to Reilly: "Young man, there may be some misunderstanding between us...... In the face of the twelve Dawn Knights equivalent to the Farro Sanctuary, the old mage did not dare to slack off.

"However, I am not prepared to listen to your explanation. Reilly said lightly: "Kill them!"
