After a brief introduction to each other, several people can be regarded as acquaintances.

"It's really a man from the Duke's family...... "Qiao Rui still dared to arrest someone, and his sword hand stiffened in place, not knowing what to do.

The illegitimate son of a duke, in the noble Gaswell, may not be nothing, but here, it is definitely a great man.

On the contrary, it is Muraton, although this guy has lived in human society for a long time, but after all, he is a dwarf, and he has been in the adventure of mercenaries, so he has no class concept, and it is natural to talk to the wiki.

As a high-level warrior and the leader of an elite mercenary group, Bard often accepts tasks from high-ranking nobles, and has also seen the world, and even less feels pressure when facing the wiki. As soon as he heard that he was Leo's friend, he said a few words enthusiastically, but he didn't like the other party's slightly feminine speech and demeanor very much.

After the first bit of embarrassment, Leo asked, "What are you doing here?"

Vicky laughed and said, "What else can I do, of course it's the same as you." ”

It's no secret that he wants to participate in the Battle Mage Trial, and it's normal for Wiki to know about it, but Leo was surprised when he said this: "You want to go to the Magic Blade too......?"

"Why, look down on me, look, I'm as strong as a dwarf!" Vicky raised his arm, showing off his biceps muscles.

"Like...... Nothing......" Leo and Muraton pouted at the same time.

Vicky didn't have any sense of being despised, and laughed: "Haha, just kidding, I don't want to be a battle mage, those violent maniacs, too lacking in beauty." ”

Then he realized that it was not appropriate to tell Leo like this, and hurriedly changed his words: "I'm sorry, I'm not saying that you don't know how to appreciate beauty. I'm amazed by your artistic talent, but I don't quite appreciate the aesthetics of violence. Actually, I went to the Magic Blade to deliver a letter. ”

Hearing him say this, Leo was even more strange, Vicky, as the son of a duke, was sent out to deliver letters?

The Bolton family is not like the suppressed Joseph family, who also need to deliver their own letters, they have always been close to the royal family, even if Gaswell did not teleport the magic array. You can also rely on other channels to deliver letters secretly and quickly.

But this kind of matter related to other people's privacy, Leo has no interest in exploring, so he nodded and revealed it, but sighed in his heart. Now that I've collided with the wiki, I'm sure we're going to go on the road together.

It's not that he hates each other, on the contrary, Vicky's warm and cheerful personality is very likable. But Leo knew that he didn't have any real artistic accomplishments, and it was very difficult to cope. Moreover, this guy is indeed too "motherly......

At this time, the atmosphere calmed down for the time being, and the dazed captain of the guard finally had a chance to interject.

He first silently inserted his sword back into its scabbard. Then he said, "Dear sir, this is not a good place to talk. Why don't you come to my house and talk while drinking ale? “

Only then did the wiki notice that there was another person next to him. Subconsciously looked at Leo.

Leo explained, "This is the town's first captain, Mr. Jory, and he's going to invite us to his home. ”

Vicky's eyes lit up suddenly, he himself didn't have much to offer. It was probably the first time I went out and ran into Leo, and I felt like I had met an old acquaintance in a foreign country, of course I didn't want to leave immediately, so I hurriedly put on a pitiful look and said: "Captain Jory, you see, I am friends with them, can you let me, a desperate person, also come to your house for a night?"

"It's my pleasure!" replied Jory without thinking. To be able to have a duke's son a guest in his own home, if not to get any benefits, is worth bragging about with friends for a long time. After all, within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, there is no big family of the level of a duke.

Walking along the narrow roads of the town, Jory saw that the Wikipedians were very nice, so he tentatively asked, "You came from the swamp?"

"That's right. Vicky replied naturally, and then put on a stern expression and admonished: "But I advise you not to go in, it's too dangerous inside, and I almost lost my life." As for why, I'm sorry I can't say. ”

"......" Qiao Rui was speechless again.

However, Leo and Bud looked at each other and vaguely understood what was happening.

While no one was looking, Leo asked Wiki in a low voice, "How much money were you being blackmailed?"

"Huh, why are you ......" Wiki was surprised, quickly reacted, and said nonchalantly: "Hehe, it's not much, it's only 30,000." ”

"Well, it's really a local tyrant, and he was blackmailed for 30,000 yuan, so he didn't feel distressed at all. Leo muttered secretly, not believing that Wiki would carry so much money with him, so he asked, "Pay in installments?"

"yes, I don't know how she came up with such a good solution. Vicky replied softly, a faint yearning on his face.

Leo could only say sorry in his heart for the loss of the wiki, and at the same time wondered why he had such an expression of enjoyment, and that expression was not disguised.

After thinking about it, Leo couldn't come up with one, two, three, so he had to ask, "You mean...... Okay?"

Vicky nodded emphatically: "Of course, it's good, it's smart and beautiful! It's just a shame that she didn't agree to me drawing a sketch for her, and slapped me out of the swamp." What a perfect face, what a slender figure, I have never seen such a beautiful moon elf, it is as elegant as the moon, as pure as an angel, alas!"

Listening to these meaty words, Leo's teeth began to pantothenic, and he was worried that this guy would suddenly become poetic, so he wrote a poem on the spot.

At this time, Vicky suddenly touched his smooth chin again, half to himself, half to Leo, "But why is she wearing a mage robe......?" It's weird...... Ah, that robe is your ......"

"No!" Leo said in a disrespectful repudiation, hurriedly changing the subject, "You like her, I mean...... Do you like women?"

"Of course, why don't I like women?" Vicky glared at Leo with a charming look, and suddenly his expression fell again, and he sighed, "Alas, it's a pity that she doesn't seem to like me very much......"

Remembering a scene from the previous art gathering, Leo was puzzled: "Then you and His Royal Highness ...... the Prince"

Vicky was visibly stunned and replied unnaturally, "What are you talking about? What's wrong with me and Wells?"

"Not ......much," Leo quickly shook his head, guessing in his mind that this guy was most likely bisexual.

............

Three days later, at noon. Leo, who said goodbye to Muraton and Bard and left contact information for each other, arrived at the "Magic Blade" in Deep Silence, and naturally came with Chubby and the "famous artist" Vicky Bolton.

Unlike the Magical Council of the Alien Empire, the Magic Blade is a worldwide organization in Lordaeron with branches in almost every country, but the overall structure is much more streamlined.

In the eyes of many people, battle mages are just a group of outliers with poor academic ability and strong combat effectiveness, but in fact, the daily work of "Magic Blade" also includes many research projects, such as the application and expansion of "magic weapons", the research and sorting of combat methods, the cooperation of combat skills and magic, and even the development of new types of combat magic.

Although these projects are less involved in the study of magical theories and more inclined to application, and are therefore despised by traditional scholars and mages, the knowledge of magic involved in them is no less than that of any ordinary academic project, and even more comprehensive than any other academic project.

After all, if you don't know all the factions, it will be difficult to research the best way to fight, and if you don't have a high level of knowledge in alchemy, it will be difficult to invent the most suitable magic items for battle mages.

If scholar mages are theorists, battle mages are mostly practitioners like those who specialize in alchemy, except that they apply magic more to combat.

In this regard, Leo has no tendencies, and in his opinion, only by combining theory with practice can the magic system be better developed.

Deep Silence, as depicted on the map, is a rolling hilly area covered by dense deep forests, and there is only one city in this area, which is the city of Tans, where the "Magic Blade" is located.

Perhaps it is because of the relationship of the "magic blade" that after entering Tans City, Leo obviously found that the number of mages here is much higher than that in other regions, and the level is basically above level 2, and even the streets in the city are full of various magic goods stores.

Far away, Leo had already seen the towering spire of magic, the headquarters of the "Magic Blade" in the Alien Empire, which saved him the trouble of asking for directions.

After a cursory estimate, the pitch-black magic spire was at least twenty stories tall and nearly 60 meters high, and Leo was very curious about how it was built. However, the style is very tough, which is very consistent with the temperament of battle mages.

Turning down invitations to shop, Leo and Vicky finally made it to the periphery.

At this moment, the wide metal door of the magic spire was tightly closed, and there were no guards or people around, but a slightly cold voice sounded in Leo's mind: "Strange mage, explain your identity and intentions." ”

"What do you say, Tong Guò Consciousness?" Leo muttered in his mind, noticing that the wiki next to him was in the same situation as himself.

The voice sounded again: "Yes, Tong Guò consciousness." ”

Although he was a little worried about the sound directly entering his consciousness, Leo replied honestly: "I am Leo Minehir, a level 2 mage, from the Ruhr region, and I want to participate in the battle mage trial and obtain the 'magic weapon'. ”

In the next second, the metal door opened automatically, and a cold voice said, "Welcome, please come in." ”

At the same time, on the top floor of the "Magic Blade" tower, two men who could not tell their age were trying to sit opposite each other, maintaining absolute silence, and the atmosphere in the room became more and more oppressive. (To be continued......)
