Chapter 891: Patriarch
After taking a few deep breaths to calm his mood, Lin Qi looked at Esco in shock.
He was only an ice mage at the middle level of the Holy Master, but eighteen disciples and forty-five disciples had all stepped into the Holy Realm? God, this guy alone was enough to form a powerful mage group. And this is just his disciples and disciples, how many disciples does his disciple grandson have?
Considering the mages and mage apprentices of his disciples, who are in heaven, status, and even human positions, Esco's disciples are really a huge strength.
As if seeing the horror in Lin Qi's heart, Romero whispered on the side: "Master Esco, he is recognized by the Mainland Magicians Guild as the best sage in teaching apprentices. This was due to the fact that several of his disciples and disciples had been killed by the wizards of the Odin Temple in the past few hundred years of fighting, otherwise, Master Esco's disciples would have been more than that. ā
Esco nodded reservedly, his deep tile blue eyes glanced at Lin Qi deeply, and said in a low and powerful voice: "I'm not good at face-to-face combat, I prefer to delve into the essence of magic and study the mysteries of the wizarding world." I used to stay in the real yĆ n room, and I studied the magic array and the making of various magic instruments to my heart's content. ā
"So, in a head-on battle, I am likely to be defeated by a Saint Master who has just been promoted, but give me time and let me set up the magic array, I can easily defeat a Saint Master's high-level enemy. ā
"And my greatest value is that, as Merome said, I am very good at teaching my disciples. Esco looked at Lin Qi proudly: "My disciples, all of them are elites!I think, His Excellency the Earl of Longshan's family needs a group of mages with family bloodline, right? And I am their best mentor, I can ensure that they get the best education!"
Before the words fell, the door of the VIP room was rudely pushed open, and an old man in a red robe strode in. The old man was not tall, but he was very stout. It looks like a dwarf. But no one would laugh at him because of his figure, because the terrifying aura emanating from his body all represented the terrifying power of his Saint Master's high level approaching the peak of the Saint Master.
"Esco, I'm a few floors away. I heard your boasting!" The red-robed old man strode up to Esco's side, sat down very hard against Esco's body, and then laughed loudly: "Yes, you are very good at teaching disciples, but so what? When it comes to combat effectiveness, you are not a little behind! I think Count Turing needs a strong one." An enshrined mage who can protect your territory, right?"
Lin Qi stood up cautiously and saluted the red-robed old man - only with Lin Qi's strength of spiritual power, and at the same time knowing so many mysteries about the demigod realm, could he find that this red-robed old man actually had a trace of spiritual power and signs of his magic power fusing with each other! This is a strong master who has begun to transform into a demigod, and even he himself has not realized this, but he has indeed begun to advance towards that realm.
Any demigod is remarkable, both in terms of aptitude and luck. It's all top-level people who can become demigods.
Especially in the Western Continent, in this continent where the cultivation resources were far inferior to the Blood Qin Empire, he was able to have such strength. It is even more admirable. Therefore, Lin Qi saluted the red-robed old man cautiously, and had already made up his mind in his heart, no matter whether he was abducted or deceived, this red-robed old man must be pulled into the territory of Longshan.
Even if you can't get the loyalty of this old man, at least you can use him as a target and attract countless firepower for yourself.
Esco looked at Lin Qi depressedly, he waved his pipe, and the green smoke formed a snowflake pattern in the air, and he said unhappily: "Your Excellency, is Farlan more popular than me? I only know that he is a brave and ruthless fellow, and in just three hundred years, he has lost thirty-seven unlucky people of his lineage, and you like him even more?"
Lin Qi was shocked again, in just three hundred years, he had lost thirty-seven descendants? Lin Qi looked at the red-robed old man Farlan in surprise, and his respect for him was suddenly raised to a new height.
Farlan grunted discontentedly, "Oh,. Those little ones, of course, fell before they reached the Holy Realm, and it made me sad! But this is the fate of a mage! A powerful mage is only after countless battles!"
Straightening his chest, Farlan looked at Lin Qi very seriously: "Count Turing, do you need a scholar-type worship mage to do those dangerous magic practices in your territory all day long, or do you need a combat-type worship mage who will resolutely lead all your disciples to come forward and destroy a qiÄ enemy for you when your territory encounters danger?"
Esco quickly said: "Hell, Farlan, the Holy Realm mage is not allowed to make a random move, we can only act as a deterrent!"
Farlan glared at Esco fiercely: "As long as the Holy Realm Mage can pay the full fine, what does it matter to kill a few little guys? As long as you don't cause huge damage to the terrain and landform, the group of gods you are in the church will have nothing to provoke people like us?"
Esco rolled his eyes helplessly, he looked up to the sky and sighed, "I seem to see your future, Farlan, my old friend, sooner or later you will be thrown into the Black Abyss Divine Prison! In the past two hundred years, you have been warned seven times by the church ruling!"
Farlan looked at Esco nonchalantly: "Who cares? want to throw me into the Black Abyss Divine Prison? Aha, they must make a certain amount of psychological preparation, I will pull at least ten unlucky people with the same strength as me, do you think the church dares to risk dealing with me?"
Esko stared at Farlan angrily, and Farlan, who was not to be outdone, stared at him even more deadly, and the two of them attacked each other with a grunt, gradually exposing all the unsightly things they had done in the past few hundred years.
Lin Qi looked at the two old guys curiously, and Merome explained beside Lin Qi: "Respected Master Farlan, he is my teacher's teacher. In other words, I am the disciple of Master Farlan. Master Esko and Master Farlan, they've been friends for a thousand years, they've had adventures side by side in the Dark Ages, and they've even teamed up to slay a wyvern!"
"Dragon Slayer Mage!" Farlan raised his hands triumphantly: "We are the only ones in the entire mage group who have the title of Dragon Slayer Mage!"
"Dragon Slayer Mage!" Esko sighed with emotion, "But it's not a good thing, we were almost killed by the vengeful dragons." If it weren't for my magic array protecting us, I'm afraid we would have turned into a pile of dragon dung a long time ago!"
Farlan's eyes widened and he roared, "Even if I turn into dragon dung, my fertility is a hundred times more abundant than yours!Count Turing, what you need is a powerful enshrined mage who can protect your family, not a scholar who only knows how to squat in the real room and waste your gold coins!"
Esco said slowly: "Give me time to set up the magic array, my lethality is not weaker than yours, Farlan!"
Lin Qi looked curiously at the two mages whose eyes were breathing fire, and asked very puzzledly: "Can I ask, why do the two venerable holy mages appreciate me so much? You know, although the Longshan family has a long history, I only have the title of earl. In particular, my territory is not large, the property is poor, and my annual income is not enough to worship a strong mage. ā
The two powerful mages looked at each other, and then they laughed at the same time.
"You can buy a knighthood with nine million gold coins, and then use millions of gold coins to build a ceremonial apparatus!" Farlan smiled: "Count Turing, I don't expect an ordinary earldom for your money. ā
"The magical equipment on your three hundred guards has a market value of nearly 100 million gold coins!" said Esco slowly, "Except for the three empires of Gaul, Caesar, and Harran, as well as several leading families of the Vyas Commercial Federation, it is impossible for other kings on the continent to have such an elite guard!" So, Count Turing, your value is comparable to that of a king!"
Farlan said in a deep voice: "There is going to be a big shock in the Vyas Commercial Federation, anyone with a discerning eye can see it!, but limited to our contract with the Mage Tower, we can't leave the Mage Tower lightly, unless we ...... Find a family willing to worship us, and you can apply to the Mage Tower and ask one of us to enter your family and become your worship!"
Esco said indifferently: "Not only us, but now the elders of the Mage Tower, are all thinking like this. It's nothing more than that we happened to run into you!"
Farlan pointed at himself, then at Esko: "Me and Esco, you pick one! Let us be your family worship, you won't be disappointed, we will be worthy of every gold coin you take out!"
Lin Qi cocked Erlang's legs, he took a heavy puff of his cigar, letting the thick smoke swirl in his nasal cavity, and then squirted out heavily: "Why do you have to choose one? Can't the two of them become my family worship at the same time? Not only the two, but all your disciples, including those little mages and ordinary magic apprentices, as long as they are your people, can take them to my territory!"
Lin Qi took out a stack of golden tickets that were half a foot thick and threw them on the coffee table disappreciatively.
"Don't doubt my financial resources, I'll build two mage towers for you two that are entirely your own! What you can get from me is far more than what you can get from the Federation now!"
Farlan and Esko swallowed hard at the mouth.
Many nobles of the Federation had hired a few families from the Mage Tower to worship, but very few dared to hire a mage from the Holy Realm! The cost of a mage from the Holy Realm was too great for ordinary families to afford that kind of cost. And Farlan and Esco, they are not just one person, they also have so many disciples and grandchildren, and a large number of disciples.
Added up to the bits and pieces, including the apprentices under their disciples, there are always more than a thousand of their disciples and grandchildren.
But the stack of golden tickets that Lin Qi threw on the table ...... After roughly estimating its value, the two old mages stood up at the same time.
"Then, we will call you patriarch in the future!" (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
