In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The three Barrett had long since left, not knowing where they were going or what they were doing.

The little girl has been a little abnormal these days, Edith used to run around the courtyard every day, but lately she has rarely gone outside, and rarely even left the room.

Albert noticed this, but he was too busy these days to take care of the little girl. Albert's two stores have always been run by Sophie, but now Sophie is Kyle's girlfriend, perhaps one of them. Sophie and Kyle are tired of being together, and Albert has to do it himself, but luckily he hired two more store managers yesterday. Compared with the small shop, there are more headaches for Albert. Out of nowhere, there was news that he was going to be promoted to an elite member of the Mage Guild, and there was an endless stream of noble children who came to visit all day long. Not only Blackwater Castle, but even the small nobles of the surrounding towns also came to join in the fun.

"Squeak!"

The back door of the small courtyard opened.

Albert, who was wearing a cloak, watched for a while, and was relieved when he was sure that no one was crouching down.

He walked through the empty block and walked towards the Mage Guild, the nobles were right, today was the day of his promotion.

The members of the Mage Guild are divided into five levels, and the order from lowest to highest is Honor, Backbone, Core, Elite, and Ace. According to the normal promotion system, even the Golden Mage cannot become an elite member.

Albert was able to obtain elite membership thanks to the rare profession of the Elder Magi, and exposing Howard's crimes was only a small part of it.

For the title of elite member, Albert still cares a lot.

Normally, the branch presidents and vice-presidents of the Mage's Guild in small city-states are elite members.

Of course, with Albert's strength and contribution, he would never be able to become the president of the Mage Guild. What he was really interested in was that elite members could receive a guild allowance of 100 gold coins per month, and the allowance did not conflict with the mage's guarantee.

When Albert came to the neighborhood near the Mage's Guild, he couldn't walk anymore.

The neighborhood was overcrowded and stretched all the way to the Mage's Guild. No wonder there were almost no people on the streets, Albert thought to himself. He tried to get close to the ivory tower, but he couldn't move half a step after squeezing for a long time. It seems that the number of ordinary people is also a powerful force, Albert thought helplessly. In the end, he had no choice but to go with the flow and let the power of the crowd push forward. A full hour passed, and the sleepy Albert was finally pushed to the door by the crowd.

After showing the core member crest to the guards, he entered the Mage's Guild without incident.

"Why did it take so long, I thought you weren't coming. Seeing Albert's figure, Ivan in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

"I arrived an hour ago. Albert sighed.

Looking at the bustling crowd outside, Ivan smiled bitterly, the sixteen-year-old elite member of the Mage Guild is indeed amazing, and only the inheritor of ancient magic can receive such an honor.

"Let's go, the envoy of the headquarters has been waiting for a long time. He nodded.

Accompanied by Ivan, Albert took the elevator to the conference hall at the top of the ivory tower.

Albert looked at the people in the room. At the round table sat a middle-aged man, who was supposed to be the envoy of the Mage Guild headquarters, while Devin sat at the end.

The middle-aged man's appearance is not even ordinary, with triangular eyes the size of mung beans, a reddened rosacea, a big mouth that can probably fit a fist into it, and thick lips like two sausages. Although the middle-aged man is not good-looking, Albert's warm smile makes Albert feel more friendly.

"Kid, are you Albert?" the middle-aged man looked at Albert with a smile on his face.

"That's right. Albert smiled in return. "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I'm late. He was deeply apologetic.

"I also took a nap, I was so tired after a few days in the car. The middle-aged man half-jokingly. "The Mage's Guild feels guilty about Howard's targeting of you, and it's all due to the guild's negligence. The middle-aged man paused. "On behalf of the Mage Guild, I apologize to you. He said sincerely.

"That was a conflict between me and Howard. Albert told the middle-aged man. "Your Excellency, you and the Mage Guild have no responsibility. He said with a smile.

"What is your impression of the Mage Guild?" the middle-aged man asked inexplicably.

"The Magician's House. Albert replied.

"Do you really think so?" the middle-aged man laughed.

"I saw it in the Mage Guild Membership Handbook. Albert replied truthfully. "But I believe it's more than just a slogan. He said seriously.

"This is the original intention of the founders of the Mage Guild. The middle-aged man explained to Albert. "Once the Mage Guild did not exist, after the ancient mages were erased by the gods, the powerful mages withered away and their status gradually declined. The long-suppressed warriors are madly hunting down magicians in the name of the gods, whether they are humans, winged people, or elves. In that dark age, when magic was seen as evil, magic almost disappeared from the continent. The surviving magicians were either attached to royalty or slaved by martial arts powerhouses. The middle-aged man sighed.

"Thanks to the Mage Guild. Albert nodded.

"That's right, thanks to the Mage Guild. The middle-aged man sighed: "Until the three major magic races of the human race, the winged people, and the elves, have risen twelve holy demon masters. After a lifetime of exhaustion, they finally gathered the power of the magicians together to form one of the strongest forces in the Atlantes. ”

"Magicians are scarce, and they should be more united. Albert guessed what the middle-aged man wanted to express.

"You're smart, Albert. The middle-aged man did not hesitate to praise, and continued: "Nowadays, the status of magicians far surpasses that of martial artists, and even comparable to nobles, relying on invincible cohesion. ”

"I will, for the honor of the magician. Albert promised.

"Take it easy, kid, that's not what I'm going to talk about today. The middle-aged man smiled. "You have to remember that power can bring you honor and lead you to destruction. He looked at Albert with a little deep meaning.

"You mean the Ancient Magician?" Albert guessed the meaning of the middle-aged man's words, everyone knew that the Magician's downfall was because of the Ancient Magician.

"To compensate you, the guild hierarchy has decided to promote you to elite membership. The middle-aged man didn't answer Albert's question, but that was probably the best answer. "It's not easy to be an elite member. He smiled kindly. "Before that, a series of trials are required, whether you are an ordinary mage or an ancient mage. The middle-aged man stood up and said, "Albert Violet, are you willing to accept the elite trial?"

"Your Excellency, what is the content of the trial?" Albert was not afraid of the challenge, but he did not want to blindly agree.

"The content of the trial needs to be based on your strength. The middle-aged man told Albert, "I'm here to verify your strength." ”

"How do you verify?" Albert asked.

"Let me see your strength when you're strengthened by the elements. The middle-aged man said.

Albert was stunned, then nodded.

Ancient mages are the same as martial artists, and before they are blessed with elements or vitality, their physical strength is only equivalent to the peak of martial artists, which is the limit of most intelligent races.

"Your Excellency, I am ready. In fact, Albert didn't prepare anything.

As soon as the words fell, a huge force suddenly pressed down, like a mountain pressing on the top. However, the giant force lasted less than a second before disappearing without a trace.

"It's over. The middle-aged man's smile did not change.

"Really?" Albert was stunned.

"Your physical strength has reached five stars, and the index should be between 520-525. "Middle-aged analysis.

"How do you know?" Albert asked in disbelief.

"Gravity is a good test of physical strength. The middle-aged man was puzzled by Albert. "The magic index is 507 points. Immediately after, he glanced at the Ring of Combat Power, and then at Ivan and Devon in the hall. "Two, please go out for a while. The middle-aged man said politely.

Ivan and Devin looked at each other, both puzzled by each other's eyes, but they exited the conference hall anyway.

Albert felt inexplicably uneasy.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and the middle-aged man withdrew his gaze and muttered a few words. A golden enchantment spread rapidly, enveloping the entire conference hall in an instant.

"It's a soundproof barrier. The middle-aged man told Albert.

"Your Excellency, do you have anything important?" Albert frowned.

"It's not important, just a little curious. The middle-aged man shook his head. "Counting you, I've tested a total of 11 Elder Mages, but you're the first one whose physical strength exceeds the mana index, and everyone knows that the Elder Mage's body is related to the level of the elements mastered. The middle-aged man looked at Albert, "Can you tell me why?"

Albert's expression was calm, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but he was very uneasy in his heart, for fear that the dragon's life history would be revealed.

"Don't be nervous, kid, I'm just talking casually. The middle-aged man shook his head. "The Mage's Guild is a free organization, and every member has the right to privacy. He told Albert.

"Thank you for your understanding. Albert nodded, but he was still a little uneasy, wondering if what the other party was saying was true.

But then, Albert was relieved.

Gravity is an earth-based super magic, which shows that the strength of middle-aged people must be very strong. Since he is super strong, is it necessary to lie to the little silver magician?

"Alright, let's get down to business. The middle-aged man restrained his smile: "I already have a full understanding of your strength, and the guild will pick out the elite tasks suitable for you as soon as possible, so wait with peace of mind." ”

"Thank you. Albert performed the mage's ceremony.

"Go ahead, kid. The middle-aged man smiled kindly again.

"Farewell. Albert smiled.

"Remember what I say. At the moment when Albert turned around, the middle-aged man spoke: "No matter what secrets you have, no matter what happens to you in the future, no matter what you do." He said seriously, "As long as you continue to walk with the truth, the Mage Guild will always be your strongest backing." ”

Albert's footsteps slowed, "I hope." ”

From the words of the middle-aged man, he finally understood the true meaning of the 'Magician's House'.
