Chapter 4: Greed

Mage's Guild, the Hall of Assessment for Members of the Doji Alliance.

"Ice Mirror!" Kate looked at the rapidly approaching thunderbolt in front of her, and a hot sweat broke out on her forehead. The Ice Mirror was unleashed by him at the last moment, and a huge ice mirror blocked in front of him, bouncing the blue arc back.

"Ice Arrow!" After the Ice Mirror was used, Kate used another spell almost without pause.

The long ice arrow followed the arc and shot at the blonde man opposite him, and with a wave of his hand, the trigger magic 'Thunder Light Shield' on the glove appeared out of thin air, absorbing the lightning that bounced back, and then shredded Kate's ice arrow.

In just a few minutes, Kate was already out of breath from exhaustion. His mana has been depleted to the bottom, and if the blonde man attacks again, he will definitely not be able to hold it.

The blonde man stopped at this point.

Kate waited anxiously for the blonde man to pronounce the verdict, he felt that his performance was very bad, the blonde man in front of him was obviously not serious, but he was difficult to parry, it seemed that there was no play......

However, the blonde man suddenly smiled and walked up to him: "Kate, right? You've cast twenty-two spells in just five minutes, and you're no problem choosing magic, and although your level is lower, your actual combat ability is stronger than some fifth-order mages. ”

"Lord Ikael, what do you mean......" Kate thought she was going to fail, but she didn't expect Ikael to give herself such a high evaluation!

"I mean you've been vetted. I'll have someone tell you about the benefits of being a member of the Doji Star League in a moment. Okay, let's go and rest first. The blonde man smiled and patted Kate on the shoulder, then turned and walked out of the assessment hall.

Kate fell into a dream, and only after half a day did she clench her fists violently and waved vigorously: "It's successful!"

He walked out of the examination hall humming a song, where Macaulay was waiting for him. Seeing him look so proud, Macaulay smiled slightly: "How is it?"

"I thought it would fail...... Mr. Macaulay, your three-stage attack is really useful!" said Kate excitedly.

At the heart of Macaulay's three-stage attack is that he only sends seven points of force at a time. As long as you grasp the rhythm, you can send three spells in a row in a short time, although the power of each magic is a little insufficient, but the enemy can only fire two spells at the same time, and the three-to-two can have the effect of suppressing the opponent.

The three-stage style of play is the essence of Macaulay's decades of research, and each type of magic uses this style of play, which is very different. Kate served Macaulay every day before and after the saddle, and Macaulay was finally impressed by him, accepted him as a disciple, and taught him a little three-stage fur.

Hearing Kate touting her proud three-stage style of play again, Macaulay smiled faintly and said: "This style of play plays a great role in group battles, your strength is not weak, and of course you can pass the test when used for assessment." ”

"But I still think Ikar-sama is very powerful...... Alas. Kate was delighted, but he couldn't help but be deflated when he remembered that Ikael had pushed himself too lightly.

Macaulay laughed: "Ikael is not an ordinary person, he is only twenty-six years old, he is already a mage at the peak of the sixth order, and if he is given a period of cultivation, he will be able to reach the seventh order...... There are not many people with such talent in the entire wizarding world, and it is normal that you can't beat him. If he doesn't have the strength to overwhelm you, how can he sit in the position of examiner? In the future, you should be assigned to him to do tasks in groups, so take advantage of the fact that you have a good relationship with him now. ”

"Yes, teacher. Kate replied loudly.

He secretly said in his heart that he was lucky, fortunately he made the decision to please Macaulay, otherwise he might not even be able to pass the assessment today.

However, he thought that Alan was also going to participate in the assessment, and with Allen's strength, it would definitely be no problem to pass the assessment, and then he would have to study and do tasks with Allen again, and he would be humiliated by Allen......

Seeing Kate's face deteriorate, Macaulay wondered, "Kate, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, I suddenly remembered Alan...... Alan should also come to the assessment in the next two days, right? He is now in the middle of the fifth order, and he will definitely be able to pass, and when the time comes, he will be with him again, and it will make people suffocate when they think about it. Kate said.

Macaulay's face darkened. Alan didn't give him face several times, if he really let Alan enter the Doji Alliance, I don't know how many times he will be angry in the future! The most important thing is that Allen's qualifications are mediocre, and it is only after he gets the elemental goblin by luck that the elemental affinity rises a little bit...... If you have to suffer from such mediocre people every day......

"Master Macaulay, Kate, what are you still doing here?" Ikael went out to eat something, and when he returned, he couldn't help but wonder when he saw the two of them still standing in the doorway.

Macaulay said, "We're talking about Alan. ”

"That fifth-level mage recommended by Alan Pachelaire Kate, Alan is the strongest of your Knicks Academy of Magic, right? I'm really looking forward to fighting him. Ikael smiled faintly. Although his talent is not as good as that of Pachelaire, he is also outstanding. There are few people in his generation who can win him, so when he talks about whom, he always has a tone in which the strong evaluate the weak.

Kate opened her mouth for a long time, not knowing what to say......

Macaulay took over the topic and said, "Allen has never been able to beat Kate before, but Kate has not been his opponent lately. ”

"Well, so Alan is a hard-working genius who caught up later? A lot of ascetics end up being very powerful, and those who are very gifted don't necessarily win them in the end. Ikal said, touching his chin.

"It's not ...... It was his luck recently that he first got the elixir to increase his cultivation to eat, and Kate reached the fifth order one step earlier. Then he caught the elemental fairy and improved his physique. ”

"Elemental Elf!" Ekal's nonchalant expression suddenly changed, and his eyes became hot! No mage can resist the temptation of an elemental elf!

However, considering that Eren was from the Lionheart family, and that the person who recommended Eren was Paladin Pachelaire, Ikael's face calmed down again.

"In this way, Allen's strength is actually not very good, using medicine to improve his cultivation will damage the elemental affinity, and then he will get the elemental goblin back to make it up, and it won't make up much...... I am afraid that he will not be able to achieve anything in the future. Ikael thought for a moment, then made a judgment.

Macaulay nodded.

Ika El touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "It's not easy to do! Allen's qualifications, why should we accept him? But he was recommended by Pachelaire, and he can't help but accept it...... When did Pachelaire get into this business? Is she familiar with Alan?"

I heard that Allen had helped Iverson's daughter heal her, and then Iverson asked Pachelaire to write a letter of recommendation for Allen. Kate said.

"In other words, Pachelaire and Eren don't know each other very well?" said Ikael, who was moved to reject Alan.

"No, Pachelaire likes Aisha very much, oh, Aisha is Iverson's daughter. I heard that Pachillel wanted to ask Duncan, the Sage of the Earth, to take Aisha as a disciple...... However, Alan had just cured little Aisha......" Macaulay hesitated for a moment, then added.

"It's not that, it's not that, what the hell are you trying to say, if I really accept someone with Allen's qualifications into the Doji Alliance, it will be difficult for me to do it. "Ikael was confused by Macaulay and Kate.

Macaulay was also in a dilemma. He frowned and pondered, until Ikael grew impatient, he suddenly high-fived and smiled, "That's right! Alan has an eagle bead, and this eagle bead has a strong amplification effect on the 'Mage's Hand'. We can ask Alan to hand over the Orb and compensate him for a sum of money, as if he had done something great for the Mage's Guild...... It's not uncommon to enter the Cross Star Alliance by contributing points, and you won't be responsible for it. And in doing so, it did not go against the will of Lord Pachelaire. ”

Ikael became a little interested: "Is that eagle bead good?"

"Sixth-order top quality. Macaulay avoided the serious. The real effect of the Xuan Zhu is to allow Alan to burst out with the destructive power of a seventh-order mage in an instant, which he would not say.

Sure enough, Ikael's interest in hearing it suddenly disappeared, and he waved his hand and said, "Then listen to you this time, I am not responsible for what happened." Alas, I still feel that I am holding my breath, and I actually want to accept someone of such strength to come in......"

Muttering twice, Ikael left with an unhappy expression.

At this time, Kate pulled Macaulay's clothes violently and said nervously, "Master, why did you let Alan in?"

"There's no way around it. Pachelaire's face still has to be given. But you don't have to worry, what is there to be afraid of without Allen, who has no Eagle Beads? Besides, you will enter the fifth order in a few months, and when the time comes, it will be the same fifth order, although Alan is in the middle stage and you are in the early stage, you may not necessarily lose to him. Macaulay said slowly.

Kate thought about it and felt that this was indeed the case, so he nodded silently and said nothing.

It's not that he can't see Macaulay's covetousness, but no matter how much Xuanzhu doesn't take his turn, even if he is greedy, he won't fight for this, if he exposes Macaulay's thoughts, and causes Ikal or a more powerful mage to be greedy for Xuanzhu, Macaulay can't get Xuanzhu beads, but will resent him......

About an hour later, Alan and Camory arrived at the Mage Guild General Meeting.

The layout of the Mage Guild is very luxurious, even the exterior walls are painted with gold and silver powder, and the inside is bright and airy, whether it is tiles or wall tiles, they are all extremely top-notch materials. Dig a random brick in it and sell it, which is enough for ordinary civilians to spend a month. Not to mention the famous paintings hanging on the walls and the porcelain on the decorative tables on the walls...... The value of these things is even more terrifying!

No wonder outsiders call this the Golden Castle!

Alan told Camory to wait outside and didn't take Camory inside.

After entering, a blonde mage from the peak of the sixth order welcomed Alan into the testing hall.

"Hello, I haven't asked yet, you're ......" Alan took the initiative to ask for the other party's name as a gesture of friendship.

"Ikael, the deacon of the Doji Star Alliance, is also the chief examiner in charge of the Doji Star Alliance assessment for the past few days. Ika El smiled professionally, but the cold tone in his expression could be heard by anyone.

"It turned out to be Lord Ikael, who had been known for a long time. By the way, I don't know what the assessment content is, is it a real fight?" Allen is still very confident in his skills, if the assessment content is a real fight, he has a full grasp of it, and he doesn't care about Ikael's attitude at all.

Ikael laughed and told him to wait where he was, while he went to the storeroom to get a crystal ball to test the affinity of the elements.

"The strength of the moment does not mean anything, the Doji Star Alliance is the cradle of cultivating mages, as long as the talent is good, even if it is a person with average strength, he can make great progress after coming in. Master Pachelaire recommends that you come to the Cross Star Alliance, you must have a good talent, let's test your elemental affinity first. Ikael placed the crystal ball on the table and looked at Alan.
