Chapter 53: Summoning the Mage (Full)
The others, not knowing what Amy was going to do, scurried around two blocks after him. Amy ran directly at the beggar standing obscenely at the corner of the street, and grabbed the beggar's hand tightly.
At this moment, the whole world suddenly trembled slightly, sturdy houses, beautiful girls, steaming big buns...... It oscillated slightly like waves of water in a moment, and disappeared faintly, revealing the snow-white walls of the stone tower and the flickering brass wall lamps. The beggar was gone, and the hand of Lord Amy was held tightly by an old magician with gray hair who seemed to be smiling.
The mage's attire was unlike anything I'd seen before, with a gray magic hat on his head that seemed to allow light to pass through, and an unusually flowing robe - also gray, without a magic wand, with a Chaos sign on the chest of the robe, which swirled outwards and scattered several dark gray streaks in the center. Several of the mages among the adventurers rummaged through their minds, but could not find any written accounts of it.
The sorcerer's appearance was quite ordinary, with gray hair and a silver-white beard, deep-set eyes, deep wrinkles on his face, and a pair of sparkling crystal glasses - all the physiognomic features of an elderly mage. The only strange thing is that ordinary magicians, because they are full of magic elves, can easily feel the surge of magic power, and this old magician, the great old magician who can no longer be great, does not have a trace of magic power on his body. If such a thing were known to the Magic Guild, its jaw would drop in surprise.
The old magician also had surprise on his face: "You...... According to the rules, you have to have your own domain and get out of mine. β
Amy snorted coldly: "So what? Could it be that on the battlefield, you used such a domain to control an enemy, but the enemy suddenly recognized you in the field and cut you with a knife, can you say that he is not counted, and he is a fool?" Amy's mood is very bad, especially after Bi has suffered unbearable damage, and no matter whether Amy takes that test first or not, Bi will be jealous of Amy, and this inevitable ending is of course unacceptable to anyone. After entering the field, he was teased repeatedly, and he was replaced by a different person, and his mood at this time would not be much better.
The old magician was swallowed to death by the young man's cold words, and this answer was indeed an unbreakable truth, and there was no strong evidence to refute it.
Brushing his silver-white beard, the old magician agreed with the results of the exam: "Well, forget it, even if you pass." After all, those who achieve great things do not necessarily have to be the most profound in magic, and the mind is often more effective than magic and force. It's just that...... Young ...... How did you recognize me?"
A crooked smile appeared at the corner of Amy's mouth: "It's not difficult, it feels quite easy to recognize, in fact, it is very obvious, as long as you have eyes, you can recognize it." β
"Impossible!" Hearing such slander, the old magician's beard was blown so high that he almost jumped: "As the greatest summoning mage in the known world, my realm is modeled after the town where I grew up, I have lived in that town for 25 years, and the old beggar I imitate has lived under my eyes for 18 years. I even have every movement of each person every moment of the day, a perfect route for each one, and neither of them will collide in the field. How can you see the flaws?"
"Do you really want to know?" Amy's smile thickened, "I'm a little mercenary, and it stands to reason that I have 100 reasons not to tell the secrets, after all, it's a necessary guarantee for my survival as a mercenary." However, seeing that you are so old, it is not appropriate not to say it, otherwise it is so, mercenaries pay the most attention to practical interests, you make a price, I will listen, if you can get by, I will tell you. β
"You dare to threaten me, I'll kill you!" looked at the young man in front of him, the magician smiled dumbly, and then began to viciously threaten Amy's personal safety.
"Okay!" Amy smiled and clapped her hands: "Grandpa, please do whatever it takes, I will never fight back, I don't believe it, you are waiting so hard for someone to play a game, just to kill someone?" I don't believe that the next person can come to you again in 10,000 years, even if he comes, is there still a tide of magic outside?"
The old magician was moved again: "How do you know this?...... Excellency...... It can't be a god who has changed, right?"
"Old-timers, we are just ordinary juniors, gods? If it were gods, would we be bullied by you like this?" Amy's face was full of helplessness and grievance.
"Oh......" The old magician thought about it, it was too long ago for the gods to transform into the world, and there was no need for it now. The young man in front of him reacted so quickly, the only answer was probably because he was too smart. But even so, the old magician still wanted to understand how the young man could see through the realm at a glance - and in fact, even if the magus entered such a powerful realm, he would not be able to find the person who released the realm. The ruddy hand took out a black ring from his pocket: "This ring, as long as you rub your finger against the surface of the ring, you can immediately conjure up a small magic shield, which is the most practical thing for magicians." Well, young man, may you tell me the old man's answer? β
Amy took it in her hand and looked at the luster of the ring carefully, thought about it, and put the ring in her mouth and bit it hard - the old magician's distressed eyebrows trembled. "Phew!" Amy spit out the spit, it looks like a good thing, I don't know what texture, it's quite strong, even if you can't summon a magic shield, it's just good, it's very cool, it's pie, it is estimated that many people who do special services in the bar will like this, Amy casually stuffed things into her pocket, and looked at the old magician with a businesslike look: "Just now, the reason why I saw through your figure ......" Different is different, as soon as she has money, Amy's tone suddenly became polite, as the saying goes, take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, isn't this a portrayal of the mercenaries' real work? No matter how dissatisfied Amy is with the old magician, in the sense of mercenaries, he must also have 100% professionalism, not to mention, the boy still has such a rare special special skill: "It's all because you are too good, you want to perform perfectly." I really didn't feel any flaws in this huge field, everything was like a group of passers-by breaking into a quiet town. β
The old magician had a proud smile on his face - no matter how old and great a magician is, he is also a human being, as long as he is human, he has vanity, and as long as he has vanity, things are much easier.
"It's just...... There's a little bit of a place you don't think about. After we entered the town, I guess, you didn't expect 6 guests to come in at a time, so you didn't let us integrate into the town in order to keep the whole town from messing in, so no matter what we did in the town, others turned a blind eye, right?" After getting the old magician's approval, Amy continued: "At this time, the beggar you played became the only person in the town who took the initiative to deal with us - you begged from us. At this, a kind smile appeared on the boy's face.
The old magician also showed a rather happy look - for a magician, some things are difficult to improve, such as abilities, but such a small unconscious fault is perfect with a little attention. Of course, I also have a good impression of the young man in front of me who doesn't smile or talk - except for a little greed for money, everything else seems to be good.
Cough...... Amy's first impression is always good, but the ending is often that the more hope, the greater the disappointment, but unfortunately, the old magician has not yet realized this.
"Come with me, what's your name?" asked the old magician as he pushed open the gate of the tower and led the adventurers through the wasteland.
"Amy, this is my companion, Daqingshan, Daqingshan's fiancΓ©e Sharuo, this is Bi, this is Immonrosa, this dwarven knight is the furnace. The boy smiled humbly and introduced.
In the face of the high-ranking old magician, the others couldn't talk at all, so they could only follow behind, watching Amy introduce everyone, and Imonrosa nodded in thanks.
The old magician only nodded politely at first, but when he heard the introduction of the dwarven knight, he lowered his head and glanced at the dwarf from above his glasses, and the dwarf was not polite at all, and immediately looked back directly - the dwarf hated the mage second only to the elves. If you have the opportunity to challenge the *master, even if it is only to the extent that your eyes are looking at each other, of course, the furnace will not show weakness.
Looking at the dwarf's big bronze bell-like eyes, the magician smiled dumbly: "Hehe, how many years have passed, and I still can't forget it...... Alas......"
"Mr. Amy, you are a natural magician, who is your teacher?" the old magician showed Amy a rare courtesy.
"Mr. Rega, when I met my mentor, he had just come out of the Begging Tower, and he was an ice magister. β
"Oh, it's quite rare, to be able to get out of the Begging Tower, in our time, there were very few people who entered the Begging Tower to challenge, most of them were using artificial domain enchantments to gain relevant experience, not only a lot of insurance, but also very fast progression. β
"That's the case, then may I ask the old gentleman, what kind of magician are you, and please tell me what the old gentleman is called. β
"What do you call ......" the old magician's eyes immediately showed a hint of confusion, "yes, what do I call it?" they all call me, 'Hey', 'That guy', 'Youngest'...... But what was my original name?" the magician tapped his middle finger on his temple, his brow tightly knit, "What am my name?" It seems that the great lich used to call me by name when he was not dead, what is my name......" The old magician suddenly stopped, and crouched on the ground with his head in his hands.
Amy looked at Da Qingshan again: "Old man, don't be so troublesome, your name is a mark, what kind of profession are you a magician, we will call your profession." β
The old magician immediately became happy: "Yes, yes, the name, it seems that it doesn't matter if there is a thing or not, just like the three of us old guys, I don't know what their names are, don't they also feed after so many years? β
And such a magical job title?Although they didn't understand it very well, all of them nodded their heads in respect.
Amy still had a smile on her face that wasn't hypocritical at all: "I'm glad I've never heard of this magical profession, but I believe that he must be one of the greatest magical professions." Summoning Mr. ArchMagus, where are we going now?"
"Well, look, the tallest tower up ahead. "In the distance, there is an extremely tall stone tower, three times as thick as a normal tower, the only one with a flickering light among the many towers. "Let's go there, in the center of this world, and there are two old immortals like me, who have been waiting for you for too long. Not...... We need to speed things up a bit. Summoning the Great Magister's hand shot out a few white rays of light, which fell lightly to the ground, and the white light spun slightly, and several unicorns appeared peacefully in the clearing: "Let's go! β
...... Several adventurers were a little dizzy, the unicorn is the most holy beast, according to legend, only pure maidens can be approached, there is a magician to summon? Could it be that the magician feeds it? Such a proud beast can also be fed? This is more shocking than the legendary captive dragon.
Amy's mind flashed again, and she immediately guessed the true identity of the kind great magister in front of her, and the city was so deep that beads of sweat began to fall on her forehead.
After a few breaths, the magic elf flickered, and a door more than two people high slowly opened.
On the right side of the gate, a ring-shaped magic array, flashing with green light, slowly turned. The old magician gestured slightly to the adventurers, and took the lead in standing up, and was teleported away in a flicker of light. The six adventurers stood up one by one, and in the flickering light, they came to a cold hall.
The pitch-black ground, which seems to have been cut out of some kind of deep-sea lava, is warm and smooth. Overhead, there was a brilliant starry sky, a bright moon slowly rising from the southern sky, and in the breeze, white puffy clouds rolled in front of the bright moon. It's illusion-like magic again, and most adventurers immediately guess that there is a moon in the sky, but the adventurer's surroundings are pitch black, which is really too different from common sense. I really don't understand, what these magicians want to do, they always have to do something that looks beautiful but has no use.
The hall was dark, and in the distance, there were three light sources, which shot softly overhead, and looked like the light of the three brightest stars, and under the soft light were three chairs, and on the chairs sat three magicians who were too old to be old, and the magician who had brought them in just now was sitting in the lower right. Left and right, it seems that summoning the Great Magister is indeed not as high as the other two.
"Welcome to those who have completed the trial, please be seated. The old magician in the middle waved his arm. Six high-backed chairs, only found in the Magic Guild, appear in the middle of the hall.
"Thank you, Your Excellency. "The matter has come to this, and there is only one step at a time, don't think about the slightest resistance-the three old guys in front of them can easily turn six adventurers into ashes with a wave of their hands, don't talk about the current situation, even if Daqingshan summons Lu'er, the furnace is still a dwarf knight, and Bi can also have his own mount dragon, in front of these three old men, what is it? Amy strode over to the high-backed chair.
"Oh, why are you all magicians?" Amy had just sat down when the magician on the left side of the stage asked in surprise, and the other two magicians also had surprises on their faces.
"What? what did you say?" Amy wondered, what do you mean by a full line of magicians?
"Don't you know?" The magician on the left waved his hand casually, and a fluorescent magic wall appeared in the middle of the hall, and the appearance of a magic apprentice appeared in the magic wall, and then, around the magic apprentice, there were six magic spells that humans could master: wind, ice, water, fire, earth, and darkness. Immediately, a blue light encircled the wind, ice, and water systems, and another black light shrouded the other three systems: "We divide the magic that humans can master into two major systems, wind represents movement, water represents life, and ice represents eternity. The magic of life and death is completely opposite and mutually reinforcing, so life and death cannot be fused again. A full-system magician is a magician who is not biased towards a certain system, and integrates all the magic that does not conflict. Only the smartest magicians have the potential to become all magicians, and most of the magicians in the whole system have stopped at the level of the great magician, and at most one magician in every thousand years can break through to the situation of the magician, and the application of magic by all magicians is far greater than that of other magicians of the same class. In our time, all magicians had to be carefully trained by more than three instructors, and most of them only entered the ranks of great magicians after they were over half a hundred years old. β
A wry smile appeared on Amy's face: "Dear senior, I really don't know what you are talking about. My mentor is an ice mentor who has passed the trial of the Begging Tower, and in our world, there is no such thing as a full mage, and besides, for hundreds of years, there have been very few archmagists. β
"Oh, what age is it?"
"6 years of magic calendar. β
"Before?"
"Red Calendar. β
"And before?"
"God-Emperor Calendar. β
"And before?"
"Frost Calendar. β
"And further?"
"Flying Locust Calendar. The three seniors, don't ask anymore, the above five calendars have spanned more than 1500 years, and further back, the younger generations can't remember. Amy finished the quiz game, and even as a magician, he really didn't need to know that much about it.
"Oh...... ...... like this," the old magician on the left was obviously not satisfied: "Then in your current books, is there a record of a magic empire a long time ago, how long ago?"
In addition to Amy, who had already guessed this matter, the other five adventurers were like lightning strikes, no wonder there were infinite magic elf tides, no wonder there were so many giant towers, the magic empire?......! Is it going to be there again?
