Chapter Seventy-Three: The Struggle of the Guild's Higher-Ups

The words of the magician at the door surprised Xu Yue's heart, and he narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the three mages at the door.

"Can you prove your identity? There's just a rebellion in the city, and the escaped thugs want my life so badly. ”

The three mages were slightly stunned when they heard his words, and one of the younger-looking mages said with a somewhat indignant expression: "If you let you go, you can leave, do you dare to have someone pretending to be someone from our dignified magic guild inspection team?"

A cold light flashed in Xu Yue's eyes, and he took a step back slightly, and a fireball instantly appeared in his hand, and after looking at the three of them, he said with a cautious face: "I'm sorry, if the three of you can't prove your identity, I can't leave with you." Because no one knows if you're pretending to be a thug!"

Seeing the fireball in his hand, the three mages all took a few steps back in horror, and one of them even activated the protective magic on his body. For the information of the magician in front of them, they had learned in detail before they came, and the number of magic releases plus the skill of 'double casting' was enough to give the other party the confidence to deal with a spellcaster several times their own.

"Wait a minute! We can prove ourselves. Please put away your spells, otherwise we'll see this as an active attack on the Guild of Magic. The mage standing at the front of the three hurriedly said.

"Please show me the proof!" Xu Yue said coldly. The fireball technique in his hand was still suspended in the air, and he did not remove the magic as the other party said.

Seeing the resolute attitude of the target in front of him, the mage standing at the front reluctantly took out a badge the size of a ping-pong ball from his storage space and threw it over.

"This is a badge for members of the Magic Guild's inspection team, with a specific identification tag for the Magic Guild on it. You can take a look!"

Xu Yue took this badge with his left hand and looked at it carefully, and then he injected his spiritual power into this badge, and suddenly saw that the badge shot out a faint light and shot on the body of the mage standing at the front. After carefully checking the identification magic array on the entire badge, it is indeed exclusive to the Magic Guild, and other forces cannot imitate it, and this has a very clear record in the information that introduces the Magic Guild.

After dissipating the fireball in his hand, he handed the badge to the mage standing at the front and said, "I wonder if you are arresting this time or just asking me to go back and assist in the investigation?"

The three mages who were about to make a move after proving their identities were stunned by what he said, and the mage standing behind him stammered a little: "That...... So what's the difference. Anyway, just go with us!"

Xu Yue's eyes didn't look at the young mage at all, he stared at the mage standing at the front, obviously this was the leader of the three.

Sensing that his target was not an easy person to deal with, the mage who took the lead sorted out his mood and said, "The accusations against you are still in the speculation stage, and I just want you to assist in the investigation this time." As for the outcome, the guild adults will have their own judgment. ”

A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Xu Yue's mouth when he heard this, but this smile flashed and disappeared, and he didn't let the three people opposite see it. He nodded and said, "In that case, allow me to make some arrangements for my apprentice, after all, he is still relatively young. ”

The three mages looked at each other for a moment and nodded.

Xu Yue returned to the house and squatted down and said to Ellie, "Brother is going out for a while, Ellie is in the house to contact the magic herself." Someone will bring you food, so don't run around when I'm not around, you know?"

Ellie nodded obediently, then looked at the three mages at the door, and said with a hint of hostility in her young eyes: "Brother, are they bad people trying to arrest you?"

The child's innocent words made the three mages at the door look embarrassed, but all three turned their heads as if they hadn't heard anything.

Xu Yue looked at the movements of the three of them and smiled and said, "They are not bad people, and they just want to ask some questions when they go to my brother." I may not be able to go back until late this afternoon. Ellie is alone until the evening, so she should rest early and don't wait for me to sleep, okay?"

After settling Ellie, Xu Yue followed the three mages out. On the way to the Magic Guild, his brain began to think quickly. The current situation is a bit weird, it is said that he not only completed his task well in the battle last night, but also made great contributions in the war to protect the city gate, even if the magic guild does not reward it, it should not be the current practice of almost treating himself as a prisoner. It seems that something unexpected must have happened during the time he was away.

"No, I don't know enough information to analyze what is causing the current situation. To be honest, just because he released more than sixty fireball spells, it would be too much to say that he was hiding his strength. After all, he had already found an excuse for magic equipment at that time. Even if you are suspicious, for a meritorious person like yourself, you should only ask very simply. ”

Xu Yue shook his head, leaving all the thoughts in his mind behind. Only when he arrived at the Magic Guild could he know what was going on. The three magicians behind him all guarded him tightly, as if they were guarding him from escaping at any moment.

On the top floor of the Magic Branch, Branch President Pine sat behind his desk with a sinking face, and a fat man who looked to be in his forties and a little bald sat on a chair not far from him, and the logo of the mage robe on his body showed that this was a fourth-level mage, the same level as Pine.

"Wood, do you know how much negative impact it would have on the guild to openly conduct a baseless investigation of a meritorious mage at such a time? Hale said in a deep voice to the chubby mage next to him.

"No basis? No! No! No! The horse's feet exposed by this mage named Xu Yue in the battle are the best basis. A first-level mage has released almost sixty fireball spells! Isn't that enough evidence? Not many of them can be done by a second-level mage. ”

"As for what the other party said is relying on magic equipment, which mage would be nervous enough to buy a dozen magic rings of fireball magic, and besides, even if all ten of his fingers are equipped with magic rings of fireball magic, he can't release sixty fireball spells, right?"

A sharp and somewhat harsh voice came out of the mouth of the fat mage named Wood, and the sound like a rooster crowing by the neck made Pyne's brow furrow slightly, but then he said angrily: "But this alone does not mean that Master Xu Yue's own level has passed the first level. ”

"Of course, this is just speculation, which is why I sent someone to call the mage to investigate, otherwise it would not just be my three men who would have gone after him, but the official mage firing squad. As for the city guards?"

Wood's noisy voice, combined with the smug look on his face, made Pyne want a flame blast to smash directly into his fat face. But he knew he couldn't. One of the two vice presidents of the most magical branch, Wood's identity is the same as him, although this guy is not liked within the branch, but the other party has a lot of power in the branch by relying on the backing behind him.

"I hope you can understand what you're doing?Wood! If this investigation shows that Master Xu Yue is indeed a first-class mage, then this investigation is an insult to the reputation of this mage who has made great achievements, and if he files a complaint with the guild leadership, this incident will have a very bad impact on the mages of the Magic Guild, have you figured out how to deal with President Aubrey's questioning?"

Wood's expression twitched when he heard Pyne's words, and the fat on his face shook with it. It can be seen that he is still a little afraid of President Aubrey in Pyne's mouth. However, after thinking about the situation reported to him by his subordinates, and thinking about what a good opportunity to be able to hit the opponent in front of him, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"If this mage named Xu Yue is really just a first-level mage, President Aubrey will personally go and ask for guilt. Still, Pine. If this guy is a second-level mage with a hidden rank, have you figured out how to explain the consequences of rewarding such a despicable creature as a meritorious hero? That would be no less damaging to the guild's reputation than my misjudgment. ”

Pine looked at Wood's smug and hideous fat face in front of him with solemn eyes and said, "I have personally met this mage, he is indeed only a first-class mage, and I will take responsibility for my own judgment." You're worried about how you're going to explain it to President Aubrey if you're wrong!"

When Wood heard his words, he sat down in his chair with a gloomy face and stopped talking, the expression on his face kept changing, and it was obvious that he was not at peace. In fact, he didn't know much about this mage named Xu Yue who suddenly appeared, and the two sides didn't have any grudges, but in order to give the old opponent in front of him a hard blow, he didn't mind using the other party as a very useful chess piece. Especially when this piece also brings some benefits to his old opponent.

Pine looked at Wood, whose face was gloomy for a while and anxious for a while, and sighed helplessly.

The leader of the Black Rock City Magic Guild Branch, Aubrey, is very old, and as a fifth-level mage, he is more than 500 years old, although he is not too old to hold a staff, but he has already declined in terms of energy and body. Therefore, Aubrey already plans to resign as the branch president, and use the remaining hundred years of his life to concentrate on attacking the sixth-level mage, and if he succeeds, then his lifespan will be extended by another two hundred years.

In the event of a club president's departure, the likely successor will be chosen from among the two vice presidents of the club. Pyne and Wood, the other branch leader, have been at odds since the day they joined the Magic Guild. It's not uncommon for two people to fight openly and secretly in the guild.

However, the president of the branch, Aubrey is a mage who is rigorous and fair in doing things, and he suppresses the two vice presidents in terms of status and magic level, so that they don't dare to make too much trouble.

This time, in order to be able to obtain the position of branch president, the struggle between the two people has been at a fever pitch. And this time, Pyne, as the initiator of the war summoning order, has made great contributions in the battle of the mages under his command, which makes him greatly increase the battle for the president, which is obviously not good news for Wood.

However, just as Wood was thinking about countermeasures, his subordinates reported that Xu Yue, who had made great achievements, actually released more than sixty fireballs in one breath during the battle to defend the city gate. This made him immediately determine that this mage was probably a guy who was afraid of danger and deliberately hid his magic level to avoid difficult tasks.

The speculation made Wood's heart flutter, if it was really what he had guessed. Then his old rival Pine will not only not gain any benefit from this incident, but will also have to pay a huge price for the mistake of giving such a cowardly creature a public reward and disgrace the guild.

However, Pine's words just now calmed Wood's fiery heart, if things were really like what Pine said, then this incident would be a terrible outcome for him.

The dignity of a magician is not to be desecrated, even if it is even a first-class magician. In its attitude towards the registered magicians of the Guild, the Magic Guild adheres to the respect within the rules. As long as the other party does not violate the rules of the guild, then even the high-level of the magic guild cannot insult the reputation of a first-level magician at will. This is also the basis for the Magic Guild to be able to expand to this day and accommodate all kinds of mages.

After all, the group of magicians is a learned and noble class in their own right, and no one will accept an organization that takes their reputation and honor seriously to lead them. And Wood's actions at this time are already severely damaging Xu Yue's reputation, especially when Xu Yue has made great contributions.

Magicians are not the civilians that the Black Rock City patrols often catch, if they are caught wrong, they suspect that they are wrong, as long as they are released, it will already be the best result for that civilian. If a magician's reputation is violated in the Magic Guild, the magician can file a complaint with the Magic Guild's higher-backs, and the Magic Guild will deal with the situation carefully. After all, this attitude represents not an isolated case, but the attitude of the Magic Guild towards all mages.

Just as they were both preoccupied and waiting, they heard a crystal ball on Pyne's desk suddenly light up. Then a voice came from within.

"President Pine, the first-level magician Xu Yue has been brought here, and now he is outside your door, may I ask if you want him to come in?"
