Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Tragedy of Contempt
After walking around the city for a long time and asking around, everyone came to a luxurious tavern.
I saw that there were many decorations on the outer wall of the tavern, with all kinds of feathers and shells, which were very luxurious, and there was a figure faintly visible on the wall, which must be the god Revis.
At this time, Shi'an pointed to the cross on the door and said, "This is it, let's go in!"
But just as they were about to go in, a man came out of it and stopped them: "Only magicians can enter here, are you magicians?"
"Yes, definitely. β
Shi An took out a crystal-colored cross directly from his clothes, and shook it in front of the man's eyes, and then the man stood aside.
After entering, Surin saw some people in white robes sitting at the table chatting, old friends and children, all of them wearing a cross badge on their chests, most of them were gray, and one or two were crystal colored.
"Those with gray crosses are magicians' apprentices, while crystal-colored ones are formal magicians. Shi An leaned into Su Lin's ear and whispered to explain.
At this time, Su Lin and the others were chatting with each other, mainly because they wanted to hear what these people were talking about, and see if there was a chance to interject into it.
There is a table of people not far from them, led by a very handsome man with an extraordinary temperament.
The other people at the same table with him were desperately complimenting: "Master Nelson, can you bring us with you on this expedition to the GΓΌlen Mountains?"
"I heard that there are a few more bigwigs of the church who will be going this time, so you can bring us along, in case we are fancied, we can all become official magicians. β
Nelson is also very useful for the flattery of these people, although he is now also a magician apprentice, but his family is a magician family, and he does not need to be assessed like others to become a magician.
While listening to Su Lin, he also said to Shi'an: "Looking at the clothes of these people, all of them are quite good, don't they worry about life?"
Shi An also smiled slightly when he heard him ask, and then replied: "As long as you can become a magician apprentice, you can get a good salary every month, so it can be said that you don't have to worry about life problems at all, as long as you train well." β
After knowing this news, Su Lin couldn't help but feel a sinking in his heart, which showed that these magicians, even apprentices, were not short of money, so it was even more impossible to poach them.
Thinking of this, he also shook his head, and then continued to ask, "What do they usually cultivate?"
"Usually it's a few bounty tasks and running around with the mercenary group, which can be regarded as an experience!" Shi An replied casually while drinking water.
"How did the bounty task go?" asked Su Lin impatiently.
But as soon as he finished saying this, the people next to him immediately surrounded him and hurriedly asked, "Are you going to send a bounty task?"
When Su Lin heard the words of these people who came around, they only cared about whether there were official magicians or not, and they all wanted to get rid of their apprenticeship status as soon as possible.
Just as he didn't know how to answer, Shi'an immediately took out the crystal cross and placed it on the table.
When those people saw it, their eyes were full of envy, knowing that only formal magicians could have the crystal cross badge, so they surrounded Shi An and said, "Master, accept me as an apprentice, and promise to serve you well and not make you a little dissatisfied." β
"You still want to satisfy the master, look at my figure, master, if you need special services, I can also satisfy you. β
In the face of these people who had been chattering in their ears, Shi'an also slapped the table and roared: "Okay, don't make any noise, I have to take the task to find him." β
Immediately Shi'an pointed at Su Lin, and Su Lin saw that these people were looking at him, and he also stood up and said that this reward task, the main thing is to plant trees, use magic to make the trees grow quickly, and there is a lot of commission after the fact.
But when he finished speaking, he saw that all the people in the room looked at him with disdain and ridicule.
"Cut, let's go plant trees, we're magicians, not farmers, planting trees?" β
"Look at his stupidity, he thought this was a mercenary union, we are magicians, and we are not those idiots who only know how to fight and kill. β
Hearing the ridicule of the people in the room, Shi An was also so angry, and when she was about to fight back, Su Lin stopped her, and at the same time looked at those people and said with a smile: "Look at the tone of their voice, a mouthful of idiots, and they still look down on farmers, is the magician great?" β
As soon as these words came out, the magicians in the room were like frying pans, and even the king didn't dare to say anything to despise the magicians, so they blamed Su Lin one after another.
"Everyone's quiet, doesn't he look down on us magicians? β
Nelson stood up at this time and signaled everyone to be quiet, he is a person who likes to be in the limelight, so naturally he will not let go of such a good opportunity.
Then he walked straight in front of Su Lin, and then said disdainfully all the way: "I think that when we didn't defeat the half-orcs who came to attack during the Hundred Years' War, maybe the war wouldn't be over now, can you say that our magicians are not great?"
As soon as the words fell, the other magicians let out bursts of cheers, and glared at Su Lin with an unkind expression, wanting to see how he answered.
"As far as I know, when the four million orcs invaded, there were less than 100,000 when they arrived on the banks of the Colby River, do you know where the rest are?
The reason why Surin knew this data was also because he accidentally saw it in the Curtiz Palace.
When Nelson heard this, he immediately denied it: "Impossible, you are talking nonsense, why don't we know about it?"
For most people don't know the reason for this, Surin is also very clear, it is the original Pope and the kings of the country agreed on a condition, let them not declare to the outside world, as for the benefits in the book, it is not written in the book.
Seeing him say this, and the others were also unconvinced, Su Lin also replied directly: "Okay, there were only five thousand magicians who participated in the Battle of Colby, you have no doubt about this, right?"
"Nope. β
Everyone nodded in agreement, after all, the first thing they did when they entered the Church of Wizards was to learn about the five thousand heroes who participated in the Battle of Colby.
"Regarding this battle, the number of half-orc armies has always been very vague, the least is said to be one million, the most is said to be three million, let's take the least one million half-orc army as an example, can you yourself even if you are five thousand great magicians can deal with a million troops?" Su Lin did not reason with them, but spoke directly with data.
Everyone was silent when they heard this, although the magician has always been more mysterious, but even the great magician does not have the power to destroy the world, and he only casts a larger range of spells and is more powerful.
Just as they were deep in thought, Su Lin's voice sounded again: "Even if each magician can destroy a hundred people with one spell, and five thousand magicians can only eliminate five hundred thousand people at a time, do you think the remaining five hundred thousand orcs still have a chance to be eliminated?"
He knew that the chanting time of the spell determined the size of the power, and a large-scale spell like this could not be completed without five or six minutes, and the wolf cavalry only needed more than forty seconds to sprint for six hundred meters, so the magicians at that time probably didn't even have a chance to recite a spell.
At this time, everyone in the room really fell silent, they all understood this truth, but the original belief in their hearts was torn apart by the data little by little.
After seeing their expressions, Surin decided to surprise them again, so he continued: "The battle of Colby I mentioned before was only 100,000 orcs at that time is also grounded, if you don't believe it, you can go and see the canon written by the current Pope Urban of your sect, which records this battle. β
This news was undoubtedly a huge blow to the magicians in the room, and they began to whisper about it.
But at this moment, Nelson stood up and said loudly: "Don't be fooled by his words, he must be a wizard, sent to divide us." β
"Yes, burn them. Burn them. β
"Let's take these wizards together and send them to the church. β
Su Lin looked at these magicians with hideous faces and angry faces in front of him, he was also very surprised, and he didn't know why it had become like this.
Watching them pounce one by one, it was Felicia who took the lead, only to see her kick directly at Nelson, and when he bent down, he directly put the sword on his neck, and then the crowd yelled: "Don't move for me, otherwise if he dies, it's your responsibility." β
The reason why Felicia wanted to kidnap him was also because he was wearing the most luxurious clothes, and it was not easy to see his identity.
Sure enough, after these people saw Nelson being kidnapped, they all stood still and didn't dare to move, after all, his identity was extremely noble, and if something happened, they would all be implicated.
"How dare you hold me hostage, do you know who I am, the Pope is my uncle. Nelson also shouted loudly at this time, not at all aware of being a hostage.
Hearing this, Su Lin also walked up directly and slapped him over, and scolded in his mouth: "Let you look down on the farmers, what would you eat without them, would you eat?"
Then the three of them walked out of the tavern one after another, and then Surin moved several wooden barrels to block the door, and at the same time smashed the flask on it, and finally threw the fire breaker on it.
After doing all this, Felicia also punched Nelson in the face, and he immediately fell to the ground and fainted.
"Quickly release the spell to extinguish the fire, quickly. β
The people in the tavern immediately panicked.
