The chances of a Level 4 warrior killing a Level 5 Earth Mage are almost zero, unless Butler enters meditation and kills him with a single sword, out of ignorance. When a mage enters meditation, he is generally completely relaxed, his mental power is no longer released, and without the timely protection of the magic shield, a crossbow arrow with venom can be shot into his body, causing him to die of poison.

But the mage is not a fool, he knows when he is the most vulnerable, before meditating, he naturally has reliable defense measures, first of all, he will choose to carry out it in the secret room, and secondly, he must arrange guards, in addition, mages usually master the magic array, around Butler's residence, it is impossible not to have a warning magic array and a trap magic array, these magic fluctuations can only be easily detected by assassins, warriors do not have keen perception, once the magic array is triggered, it can only be Brian himself who dies.

Butler's guard has at least one third-level warrior, and the faithful preacher has been closely protecting the assistant priest, although he is not Brian's opponent, but as long as he blocks the intruder for a short time, the mage has room to fight back, not to mention that Marlowe has subordinates, Butler's guard is probably not one.

Brian has seen the power of the puppet technique, the earth element is indeed cumbersome, but its attack and defense cannot be ignored, as long as it is rubbed by the big guy's fist, it will inevitably hurt the muscles and bones, Brian feels that he may not even be able to solve the earth element. What about the other spells, the thorns, the falling rocks, and the walls of the earth, which one can be easily dealt with? What if Butler still has a magic scroll, the old thing has been immersed in the church for many years, and this possibility cannot be ruled out.

The magic scroll is difficult to make and very expensive, but it has the advantage that it only needs a little mental power to instantly activate the magic stored in the scroll, and it is not limited by any level, such as the seventh-level disintegration magic scroll in the hand of Herois, which can dismantle a powerful enemy at any time and turn the opponent into pieces. Such a scroll could not be bought with money, it must have been the treasure of a certain magister, and it was given to Helois as a gift.

Level 5 is the first step to become a strong person, and there seems to be a qualitative difference compared to level 4, if Brian's current cultivation is level 5, the fighting spirit can be released, then the chance of killing Butler will increase several times. Brian doesn't know how to get to level five, just like he reached level four in a daze, people often say that as long as you stick to the basic advanced technique, you can level up, but there has been no standard answer to how far and when to advance.

Salina held a small glass bottle containing a purple-brown solution, placed it in front of Brian, and admonished: "Poison Rami has been concocted, it can poison three elephants, so what, do you think there is a chance?"

Brian smiled wryly and shook his head: "No, after thinking about it, the probability of killing Butler is zero. ”

"Since it's zero, what else do you want, there is only patience at the moment. ”

"I still want to kill him. "The presence of this man has caused me so much trouble, disrupted all the steps, and he makes me feel threatened all the time. ”

"You are a sane and calm person, I saw your best decision at the lumberyard, at the time of Alcott's death, but now you have to do something that will not succeed 100 percent. ”

"Maybe it's because I have more, but in the past, I was just myself, and when I was well fed and slept alone, I was content and didn't have to worry about anything else. Later, when I had a lumber yard, I started to think about the operation of the lumber yard, and now that I have a small town, I am thinking about how to build the town well. Out of selfishness, I don't like to see my own territory being trampled by others, my own people being bullied by others, although I don't want to build any ideal country, but I want to protect them. ”

"Who's your guy?" Salina laughed.

"You, you're my man, at least for now. Brian said, "In the future, it can be developed." ”

"How?"

"We're trying to be a little more intimate and help you overcome your misogyny. Brian spoke his mind.

"Hmph! I've been overcoming it for thirty years. "You want to make a breakthrough in everything." ”

"Of course, you see that the barbarians have become very close to us now, and they are beginning to learn to plant. Brian said, "At first, I took over Toby Town, and I didn't have so many ideas, just to solve the case and save my life, but as time went on, I found that I began to care about them, and I couldn't be separated from these people, I wanted to find wealth for them, and I wanted to find a better way out for them.

"But your ability is not enough, and the result may be even more calamity. Salina reminded.

"Yes, because of this, I was still hesitating and did not make a decision lightly. "I find that selfishness is a good thing, it can make a person rack their brains to protect their property and possessions, it can also make a person make a decision carefully, and it can make a person work hard to strengthen themselves." ”

"That's not selfishness, it's love. Salina corrected.

"Love? Love is not so accurate, love also comes from selfishness, everyone is selfish, and they will not give their best things to others easily. "We have to admit it, but selfishness can't be unlimited, like Marlowe, who takes away the wealth of others because he loves money, or like Butler, who takes away the lives and liberty of others because of his own needs." Therefore, for such people, there must be certain laws to restrain them, so that although everyone is selfish, it cannot affect the selfishness of others, but will form a better order. Damn, that's better than everyone is equal!"

"You're going to be a philosopher, Brian. ”

"We seem to be off topic, aren't we discussing how to kill Butler?" the excitement on Brian's face disappeared again, "No matter how good I have, I can't stand Butler's earth element." ”

After Salina left, Brian persuaded himself to overcome his inner frustration, and no matter what, he felt that he had found a better path than Hausman's ideal country, and to adhere to this path, he had to be strong, as strong as Dunbar, even more than him. Brian closed his eyes and began to meditate, hoping to gain something in terms of magic.

It's the same dream, or hallucination, long tunnels, wide halls, countless rooms, countless strange instruments, and tables full of bottles, colorful, all with labels written on them. Brian picked one up and looked at it, it was still written - No. 116, and his body recovered quickly.

The dream continued to stretch, a little longer than the last time, and Brian walked forward, and he saw a woman, a woman with an unrecognizable face, only curly blond hair, and gave him a blank piece of paper with "Estrid's Notes" written on it.

Brian opened his eyes, covered in sweat, and he looked around nervously, and in the corner of the study, there was a gray shadow.
