Chapter 128
Walking into the Magic Guild, Char was still looking around with curiosity. After all, the profession of magician is so prominent, as the magic union of the Byzantine Empire, it can be regarded as the core holy place of the magic of the continent, and this magic union is responsible for the management of the magic world of the mainland, which must be an extremely remarkable place.
But after walking into the door, Char was disappointed.
Inside this door is a circular hall, the decoration is just a simple stone slab, the walls are painted with white paint, and there are no strange and magical magic array patterns, in Char's opinion, I am afraid that on the first day of his visit, the study in the Cavishil house is much more solemn and shocking than here.
Over here...... It's just an ordinary reception hall. The area of the hall was only a little more than ten paces wide, and in front of it was a staircase, and a tall long table lay in front of the building, and behind the table sat an old man with white hair, who was supporting his face with one hand, dozing off on the desk, this guy was wearing a gray robe, but he was not wearing a magician's badge.
Seeing Char and Tatara coming inβwell, to be precise, it should have been "heard" that the two of them came in, the old man barely raised his head, his face was sleepy and sleepy, his eyes were almost open, and he muttered vaguely: "Good afternoon, two magicians, may I ask what you ......are doing?"
As he spoke, he slipped back the saliva that flowed from the corners of his mouth, raised his dirty sleeve and wiped it twice, before he raised his head and looked at the two who came in with his faint old eyes.
After the two sides looked at each other, it was obvious that Char was not dressed as a magician, so the old man fell on Tatara alone.
"This honorable magician, I am Dohari, the receptionist of the Magic Guild. Please tell me who you are, let me register, and then please explain your intentions......" When the old man spoke, Char found that his teeth were about to fall out, his cheeks were shriveled, and he barely stood up to salute Tatara, but his body trembled, and he struggled for a long time before he could barely stand up straight.
Tataro puffed out his chest proudly: "My name is Tadoro, and my name is on the roster of the union. After a pause, he glanced at Char next to him: "Hmm...... This one, this one is my companion. β
"I'm sorry. The old man nodded respectfully to Dodoro: "Since you are a magician, then you should know the rules here, even if you are your companion, you must also register your name." β
"Char. The turtle next to him reported his name indifferently: "Char thundered." β
"Well......" the old man sat for a while, tremblingly picked up the quill pen on the table, and wrote on a form, because of old age and infirmity, his writing was crooked, and he wrote vaguely while writing: "Well, visitor...... Venerable Master Tatara, um, and...... The mage's sword thundered from Char...... Well, what a weird name, is anyone else called ...... that?"
Hearing the old man say that he was the magician of Tadoro, Char immediately glared and was about to refute, but Totara next to him hurriedly made a face to Char, nodding and raising his hand to plead, which made Char shut his mouth.
"Okay...... Gen-la Tada, could you please explain your intentions...... I ......"
"I need to ask to see a deacon, and it's a matter of my reputation, so may I ask who is the deacon on duty today?"
The old man let out an "oh", but it seemed to be a little behind his ears, and he asked again, and after Totaro repeated, he nodded: "Well, please go upstairs, the second door on the left, it happens that Master Harris is on duty today, you can go to him." β
Tataro breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled bitterly at Char, "Please wait here, huh...... The Wizards' Guild, unless there is something special, ordinary people are not allowed to enter. β
Char looked here, apart from such a bad old man in front of him, where are there any guards in this entrance hall, if he insists on entering, can this old man still stop him?
But after thinking about it, this is a magic union after all, maybe there is something unique and powerful, and I didn't come to find trouble today, but came to take a casual look to satisfy my curiosity, in this case, just wait here.
Seeing that Tatara went up the stairs, Char stood in the hall and looked at the side, there was not even a chair in this hall, and the old man who received him sat back again, his hands supporting his face, and his head little by little, obviously dozing off again.
Char was a little bored, walked up two steps, and talked casually: "This old gentleman, are you a member of the Wizards' Guild?"
The old man seemed a little impatient, frowned and looked at Char, and muttered with a leaky mouth, "Nonsense...... I'm not from here, what are I doing sitting here......" he said, shaking his head, as if he was very disdainful of Char.
"Oh, then...... Given your age, you've been in the Magic Guild for a long time, right?" Char curious.
"Hmm......" The old man barely opened his eyes, stretched out his fingers and counted: "Yes...... Fifty...... Well, fifty-three years......"
Char was in awe: "So, you must also be a magician?"
The old man smiled a little wryly, glared at Char again, and his tone was a little unkind: "You kid is really rude." If I were a magician......, would I still be sitting here? I'm just an apprentice in magic. β
Magical apprentice?
Char glared at this old man, he was not eighty years old, but he was more than seventy! At this age, he was still an "apprentice"?!
The old man's dim old eyes suddenly sharpened at this moment, and when he saw Char's god, it seemed a little strange, and he couldn't help but snort and squint his eyes: "Young man, do you look down on me? Hmph, tell you, my old man is not a simple character! I have been here for so many years, even some real magicians, they will be polite when they see me." β
After a pause, the old man seemed to be showing off: "Tell you, the current president of the Magic Guild, Mr. Raphael, the Grand Magister, was my classmate in the Academy of Magic! We graduated from the Academy of Magic together and won the title of Apprentice in Magic!"
Char couldn't help but smile.
It's a pity that after graduation, people have been promoted from magic apprentices all the way to the great mage, but this old gentleman has stayed at the level of magic apprentice all his life...... It can only be said that it is destined by fate.
When I was feeling emotional, I heard footsteps outside the door.
A magician slowly walked in from outside the door, and when he came to the door, he smiled in a hoarse voice: "Old Dohari, I came to ask to see the deacon mage, did you hand over the application I submitted last time, did you hand it over to the deacon mage last time!"
As soon as he heard this voice, Char immediately felt a little familiar, and when he looked back, he saw a magician walking in from outside the door, wearing a gray robe, a large cloak, and a low-level magician badge on his chest.
Looking at each other's faces, the other party also happened to be looking at Char, the two of them met their eyes, they were stunned at the same time, and then the two of them shouted "ah" at the same time.
"It's you?!"
"Ahh
As soon as this magician saw Char, his face changed, his expression distorted a few times, and he seemed to turn around and run away, but before he turned around, Char took a step forward and reached out and pressed on the other party's shoulder, he was extremely strong, and the mage couldn't move when he grabbed his shoulder, so he could only turn around with a wry smile, and a strange smile appeared on his face: "Ah...... It turned out to be you, the ...... Mr. Witcher?"
Char squinted at each other: "I remember you...... What are you...... What's your name, right......? Well, that Nimagbi...... Ah, you're the magician, Bidardo!"
Bidardo seemed to be extremely afraid of Char, looking at Char, his legs kept shaking, his eyes dodged, but he finally smiled bitterly: "Not bad...... You have such a good memory, you can recognize me at a glance......"
But I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: Why did this guy actually run to dìdū? Oops...... Does he know that the path I showed him last time was fake...... Sure enough, Char then squinted his eyes and sneered: "Yi, you seem to be very weak-hearted! Hmph, I remember that last time you showed me the way, I haven't repaid this love yet!"
How dare Bidardo really ask Char to "return the favor"? Hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, that ...... Didn't expect to meet you here, then...... I've got something to do, so I'm out of company......"
He turned around and left, but Char grabbed him: "Don't be busy! β
With a snort, Char continued, "I want to thank you for the way you showed me last time!"
Bidardo smiled bitterly and simply said, "That...... The path I showed you last time was inevitably made in a hurry, and you can't blame me for this, let alone ......."
"Besides, you did it on purpose, right? Char snorted, and pressed the hand on the other party's shoulder with a little more force, Bidaldo's face suddenly turned white, and his forehead sweated in pain, and he hurriedly said: "Let go! Let go! This is the Magic Guild! You, you are here to do something to me, but it is very inconvenient!"
Char smiled and withdrew his hand: "I won't hit you either, although you deliberately pointed me the wrong way last time, but Lao Tzu didn't fall for you, hum ......"
Bidardo was about to run away while Char let go, but when he heard this, he stood up and looked at Char with wide eyes: "You...... You're not fooled? So, did you really find that ......?"
Speaking of this, Bidardo glanced at the old receptionist next to him, and quickly closed his mouth, but couldn't help but stare at Char intently.
Char smiled, but pretended not to answer.
Bidardo was so anxious that he couldn't help but ask again: "Are you...... Did you really find it?"
Char shook his head and sighed deliberately: "Hmph, I didn't find anything, but at that time I guessed that you deliberately pointed me the wrong way, and I ran in the other direction, although I didn't find the one you said...... But he just hunted a good monster. β
The turtle is not stupid, he got a dragon and gained a lot, these things are in his own hands, but they are easy to covet, and the truth that wealth is not exposed, Char, who was born in Wildfire Town, is naturally familiar with it.
Bidardo didn't doubt it, he knew that although this guy was powerful, he was definitely not powerful enough to kill a dragon...... If he really found the dragon, he was afraid that it would be a dead end.
Moreover, Bidardo also got the news that his teacher and several other magicians who went to find the dragon did not come back after that time, but they were afraid that they had been killed by the dragon together.
Even a few magicians died at the hands of that dragon, let alone this guy, since he was alive, he naturally didn't see that dragon - well, he was lucky.
To say that Bidardo came to the Magic Guild this time, it is indeed a serious matter.
His own strength is low, and he mainly relies on mingling with the other three nobles in the four shows of Wangcheng to make a living.
His teacher went on an adventure to hunt for dragons, but instead died in the wildfire, and none of the magicians who set off with him could not return. His teacher is a regular magician, who is named in the magic union, and has a position in the magic union, which is different from other magicians in the mainland.
But all magicians who are suspended in the Magic Guild have a life magic mark left in the Magic Union, once the magician is out in danger and dies accidentally, then the life mark left in the Magic Union will be immediately sensed.
Because of this, Bidardo was able to determine that the teacher and the other magicians who had gone on a dragon hunt were dead.
However, a magician, especially a powerful magician, is usually extremely wealthy! The personal property of a magician includes a variety of valuable magic gems, magic crystals, and mythril and other precious magical materials, which not only have precious magical value, but can also be exchanged for large sums of wealth in the world.
After the death of the teacher, according to the rules of the magic union, the relics and property of the deceased magician can be handed over to the magician's disciples to inherit - only the disciples with official magician qualifications can inherit, and the magic apprentice has no inheritance.
The fortune left by Bidardo's teacher was not too much, but it was considerable. But the problem is that before this magician went to find the dragon, he did not leave any will, and his apprentices were as many as five, of which in addition to two magic apprentices, there were three who had magician qualifications.
Bidardo and the other two brothers have already completely fallen out over the teacher's inheritance - after all, the reason is for those inheritances, because everyone knows that if they can get some precious magic items, they can immediately increase the strength of the magician himself!
Without a will, the distribution of the estate falls into the hands of the Magic Guild, Bidardo has been running countless times for this matter recently, and today he came to try to find the deacon mage, but he didn't want to meet Char, a disaster here.
