Chapter VIII: The Book of War
"What? What's so funny about me? Tony, do you want to play a pre-joust match with me?" Tony and the others laughed more and more excessively, and Rashid finally got angry.
A lean young man shrugged his shoulders and waved his hand, "Don't be like this, Rashid, I'm not laughing at you. ”
"Humph!"
"I heard that your brother has come to Pompeii, right?" Tonny laughed, and before Rashid could speak, he added, "Your brother is such an interesting person! Today he went to the Mage's Guild to participate in the assessment of the Cross Star Alliance, but he didn't pass the test, he was not convinced, he made a big fuss, and even instructed Camory to beat people inside. The Lionheart Family is really majestic! Several elders of the Mage Guild are not there, and the deacons don't dare to do anything to your brother! However, is your brother going to be funny? If you don't have enough strength, you go to participate in the assessment, and if you fail the assessment, you still order your subordinates to beat people? Fortunately, the elders of the Mage Guild are not there, otherwise I don't know how the matter will end!"
"Alan didn't pass the exam? impossible!"
"Isn't your brother a six-grade qualification, but what's strange about the assessment? If the strength is not enough, he will also go to the assessment, does he want to enter the Cross Star Alliance through the back door? You don't teach him as an elder brother? Pompeii is not comparable to the Duchy of Lionheart, and the name of Bavaria is not used here!" Tony smirked, and the people around him also laughed.
Rashid clenched his fists, and his face became gloomy......
At night, at home.
Alan is holding a fruit and teasing the little spotted mosquito. There are many foods for spotted mosquitoes, and fruits and vegetables are their food. Vampirism is only a racial talent for them, but they don't have to suck blood to survive.
Two small spotted mosquitoes were inserting their mouthparts into the fruit and sucking them, and the familiar smell of Allen made them feel comfortable. The leprechaun sat on Alan's shoulder and looked at them, which also made them feel reassured.
Suddenly, the door opened, and the sound of the door opening made the two little things shrink in fright.
Alan put them away, put the fruit aside, and went out to check it.
"Big brother, you're back...... Why is your face unhappy, and your autumn hunting results are not good?"
Rashid handed the iron-tired bow to his servant, his face full of anger. He sat down on the chair and said, "Alan, did you fail the assessment?"
"No, I didn't. What's wrong?" Alan sat down next to Rashid.
"You really haven't passed? With your strength in the middle of the fifth order, which is about to enter the late stage, how can you not pass? Could it be that your actual combat skills are not good?"
"Ikael tested my qualifications, and when he saw that I was a six-grade qualification, he wouldn't let me pass the test. As for actual combat or something, he didn't let me try it at all. ”
Rashid's brain burst out when he heard this, and he suddenly slapped the arm of the chair violently, and said angrily: "What if the qualification is only sixth! You are now in the middle of the fifth order, and you have the help of the elemental goblin, even if the qualification is only six rank, it will be very easy to become a seventh-order mage in the future!
"Big brother, what's wrong?" Alan finally understood at this time, there must be something going on outside.
Rashid looked angry and said, "Just now during the autumn hunt, Tony's miscellaneous general suddenly came and said something to him, and then he kept looking at me and laughing. I was angry, so I asked him what he was doing, and the miscellaneous said that you failed the assessment, and said that you wanted to enter the Doji Alliance by connections, but the examiner ignored you, and then you became angry and made a fuss...... I don't believe it, how can you fail with your strength? Dare to love that the examiner didn't give you a combat test? Damn, what kind of fame! Have you offended anyone?"
Allen's brows furrowed, and his face was very ugly: "The outside is saying that I failed the assessment, and then I want to go through the back door by relying on my identity, and I am annoyed and angry after I can't go through the back door?"
"Shit! It must have been from Ikael or Macaulay!" Camory had gone with Alan, and he knew exactly what had happened, and he was so angry that he trembled!
"What the hell is going on?" Rashid asked, looking at the two of them.
"I'm a bit at odds with Macaulay. Later, Macaulay coveted my sixth-order pinnacle orb and asked me to sell it to the temple for 50,000 gold coins, saying that the difference in price was regarded as a contribution to entering the Doji Alliance...... Damn, my magic weapon Xuanqi Bead is worth at least two or three hundred thousand gold coins, let me sell it for 50,000 yuan? How can I sell it! And my strength is far stronger than those who have passed the assessment, do I need to pay the contribution value? At that time, I was thinking, there is that kind of miscellaneous in it, I might as well not go. Then Macaulay told me that there was a dark aura on my beads, and asked me if I had brought them from the family, and Camory slapped him in anger when he heard him slandering the family...... It must be the news that the mongrel is messing around!"
Rashid's eyes lit up as he listened. Even if the Lionheart family is in the Holy Ao, it is also one of the top ten families, with dozens of fierce generals and tens of thousands of strong soldiers in the family, and Macaulay, who has no power and power, actually wants to buy his brother's things by force, and he also speaks ill of his family!
"Macaulay, this old dog dares to do this to you, is it really a bully of our Lionhearts? Let's go with me to the Mage Guild, and I'll help you get justice!" Rashid grabbed Alan's hand and tried to pull Alan up, but Eren used some force to prevent him from pulling.
"What's wrong, brother?"
"Justice? It's too cheap for them...... I don't have enough strength to enter the Doji Alliance, right?" Alan snorted coldly and took out a pen and paper from the spatial ring.
He got up and spread the brown paper on the table, and began to write with ink on it.
'I heard that there are countless elites in the Doji Star Alliance, and I am itching to hear it, and I will set up a ring in the hunting ground on the outskirts of the city on the seventh day of the harvest month, challenging all the high-level mages of the Doji Star Alliance, and I hope that my colleagues in the Doji Star Alliance will give me advice. Sincerely, Allen. ’
Alan flew like a pen and wrote the challenge book in a few strokes. His pen penetrated the paper, and he was obviously in a state of extreme anger.
After writing the challenge, Alan found an envelope and folded the brown paper into it.
Rashid next to him was stunned, and said in a daze: "Challenge all high-level mages? Are you sure? This challenge is no different from stabbing a hornet's nest." There are more than a thousand fifth- and sixth-order mages of the Pompeii City Cross Star Alliance alone, and many of them are masters......"
"I'm afraid he'll come less, say I'm not strong, I'll see if they can find someone stronger than me!" Allen's face was gloomy. He handed the challenge to the side and said, "Kamori, help me take this challenge book to the Mage's Guild." ”
"Second Young Master, are you confident? Okay, I'll go right away!" Camory grinned and took the challenge, a crazy and cruel smile on his face.
Night, Mage's Guild.
Master Sara, who came back from visiting friends, frowned and looked at Ikael, and said slowly: "So, you have already rejected Allen?" But Allen is a person personally recommended by Pachelaire, and this is the first time that Pachelaire has recommended someone to the Mage's Guild......
"Lord Sarah, it's not like I didn't give Eren a chance, as long as he is willing to sell his Eagle Orb to the Mage Guild for 50,000 gold coins, I will accept him into the Doji Alliance. A sixth-order eagle bead, the price is five to one hundred thousand, is it not worth the difference in the number of places in the Doji Star Alliance? The Doji Star Alliance is not a garbage acquisition station, he is not strong enough, of course I have to deal with him impartially and refuse him. Pachelaire's letter said that let's try Allen, saying that if Allen thinks his strength is okay, he will accept Allen, but he doesn't say that we must accept him. Ikael explained.
Sara thought for a moment and finally nodded, "Pachelaire believes in order and justice, so she shouldn't be angry about this...... However, exchanging a Doji spot for a paladin's friendship is actually quite cost-effective. ”
"The main reason is that Alan is too arrogant, obviously his own strength is not good, and he can't pass the assessment, and he also says that Deacon Macaulay is greedy for his sixth-order eagle beads. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been ruthless in the end. Master Macaulay was really wronged, first slandered for coveting the orb, and then beaten by Camory...... You can't ignore this, Lord Sarah. Ikael said.
Sara looked at Macaulay, who had not subsided with the redness on the right side of her face...... The thought that Camory could even do something to an old man like Macaulay made Sarah's heart unhappy.
"I'll get justice for Deacon Macaulay. ”
"Elder Sarah, Elder Sarah!" Someone suddenly ran in.
"What's the matter?"
"Elder Sarah...... Camori just came to us and left this thing behind!" said the squire with a letter and gritted his teeth.
Sara looked at him quizzically, and took the envelope. As soon as she saw the words 'Challenge Book' on the envelope, Sarah's face darkened.
Holding back his anger, he opened the envelope and took out the stationery inside. Shaking off the letter, Sarah's breathing became rapid.
"Hmph! The lionheart family's child! It's crazy! Is it really that I have no one in the Cross Star Alliance!"
"What's wrong?" said Macaulay.
"See for yourself!" Sara handed the letter to Macaulay.
Macaulay took it and looked at it, and his eyebrows trembled suddenly...... Allen, this little fifth-order mage, a fifth-order mage without the guidance of a famous teacher, a fifth-order mage without any combat record, a fifth-order mage who was promoted by taking medicine and elemental goblins, actually dared to challenge all the high-level mages of the Doji Star Alliance?
"This self-defeating junior!" Macaulay was furious!
After reading the letter, Ikael and the others next to them were also very angry!
There are countless capable people in the Doji Star Alliance, and there are thousands of fifth- and sixth-order mages, and there are more than a thousand in Pompeii alone! And most of them are actual combat mages! Allen, a nobody, a young man with ordinary qualifications, actually dares to challenge all the high-level mages of the Doji Star Alliance?
"This kind of person, you must teach him a lesson, otherwise he won't know what it means to be high and thick! I'll go to fight and teach him a good lesson!" Ikael crumpled the challenge book and threw it on the ground.
Ikael is one of the strongest of the High Mages of the Cross Star Alliance, and seeing that he is going to fight, Sara wants to agree...... But on closer thought, Sara shook her head again.
"You are the deacon of the Doji Star Alliance, if you are allowed to go, even if you win, others will take it for granted...... Macaulay, what's the hallmark of that kid at Allen?"
"The spell is cast quickly, but the power is average. The only thing worth worrying about is that his 'Mage's Hand' is very destructive, but he has to do a lot of preparation before he can use this magic. ”
"How fast can you cast spells! Kate is his classmate, right? Ikael, you go to the warehouse and take out the sixth-order viper staff and give it to Kate, the viper staff can increase the elemental perception by forty percent, and Kate's use of the viper staff is enough to deal with that kid! Hmph! I happened to be away that day, count that kid lucky! Ikael, when the time comes, you bring more people over, be careful that after Alan loses, the people of the Lionheart family will not be convinced and make trouble!"
"Yes!"
"I'll go too, I'll have an old relationship with Allen, if the conflict intensifies, I can also do something peaceful. Macaulay laughed. Alan has embarrassed him many times, and it is rare to encounter Alan to humiliate himself, so he has to appreciate it......
