0085 Murderous Magical Apprentice-1
As a medium-sized mercenary group with four or five hundred members, the economic strength of the Storm Wolf is not bad, so it has also recruited four or five mages of different levels to be stationed in the group.
In addition to a mid-level mage of the water system who was respected in the status of the wolf of the storm, there was also a junior mage of the fire type, a junior mage of the wood type, and two junior mages of the wind type, and the one in front of him was obviously one of the two junior mages of the wind type.
Don't look at the hundreds of thousands of students at Kemo University, and think that the number of magicians is as large as dogs.
The University of Science and Technology can only admit about 3,000 students in the main department every year, and only about one-fifth of these 3,000 or so master magic apprentices can successfully graduate and be promoted to "trainee magician".
And among the 600 or so trainee magicians, only about one-fifth of them can be promoted to full-fledged magicians, that is, "junior magicians", that is, more than 100.
In fact, the level of magicians is difficult to improve, and the vast majority of magic apprentices may only stay in the apprenticeship stage for the rest of their lives, and after graduation, they will become "magic workers" in some magic institutions, such as plating and injecting magic for some magic items.
Although they can earn a salary that far exceeds that of ordinary people, they cannot truly enjoy the high status of magicians.
These magic apprentices and apprentice magicians may be no different from real magicians in the eyes of the countrymen, but in the eyes of some big people who have seen the world, they are nothing.
Therefore, only by becoming an official magician can you truly be respected.
However, this does not mean that magic apprentices have no combat effectiveness, the combat power of a magic apprentice is equivalent to the strength of a black iron mercenary, and the strength of a trainee magician is equivalent to a bronze mercenary.
Moreover, whether it is a magic apprentice or a trainee magician, the magic they unleash can crush warriors of the same level with almost no difficulty...... Provided that they don't get approached.
A single stroke of magic may be able to kill a warrior of the same level, but a warrior of the same level can easily kill a mage with a single sword.
When they reach the level of formal magicians, magicians really have some self-preservation abilities, not only their survivability in battle has been greatly improved, but also the magic methods they have begun to become rich and diverse, and they can play a role several times that of warriors of the same level in battle.
It's a pity that although the official magicians are powerful, not all mercenary groups can afford to be invited, and only those teams that have the strength and are willing to invest will tighten the belts of the mercenaries in the whole group and invite a few official magicians to stay in the group.
As a result, magic apprentices and apprentice magicians have become the main magical forces in the mercenary group.
Some magic apprentices who are confident in their own strength and need a lot of resources to improve their strength often choose to join the ranks of mercenaries who are dangerous but also lucrative, and earn enough money and resources for themselves.
A mercenary group with good strength and ambition like the Storm Wolf was able to invite five official mages to be stationed in the group, which was already very lucky.
After all, at the level of a formal magician, the means and channels for obtaining money and resources are far more extensive than those of lowly apprentices, and even if they don't take risks, they can meet their own needs, so why bother following a bunch of muscle bumps to brave the wind and rain and put themselves in a dangerous environment?
Therefore, in addition to the benefits, there are probably many other factors behind the fact that the Storm Wolf was able to invite five magicians, such as a big sponsor of the Storm Wolf......
Unfortunately, even the members of the Storm Wolves, only a handful of high-level cores know the secrets of the Storm Channel.
The other ordinary members only knew that a few years ago, the head of the group suddenly dismissed dozens of magic apprentices and a dozen apprentice magicians hired by the team, and then these five magicians became an important mana power of their team, making the strength of the Storm Wolf close to the top mercenary groups in the mercenary world of Coran City.
It's not because you can't afford to fire those magic apprentices and trainee magicians, it's just that magicians are not used as the main combat power in the mercenary group, and only in some extremely special tasks will they take their turn.
The magicians are extremely vulnerable in high-risk tasks, and the mercenaries not only need to deal with the battle, but also have to carefully protect the magic combat power in the team.
So after having five full-fledged mages, there's no need to continue wasting resources and raising apprentices who are weak and prone to battle damage.
The group of mercenaries who suddenly returned to the Storm Wolf station were not the ones who went to search for the members of the Iguana Fang throughout the city, but just happened to have just returned to the station after completing the mission.
Although I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, there is no need to explain anything about the situation in front of me, my team's nest has been smashed by others, and dozens of companions have been overturned, no matter what the reason, they have no reason to sit idly by.
But the fact that the two Silver Warriors in the team had already fallen at the feet of the other, and that there were only six of them (one of whom was simply ignored), forced them to be cautious.
In addition, the lives of the two silver warriors were in the hands of the other party, and under the rat trap, the scene suddenly became deadlocked.
As the highest-ranking member of the team, the Wind Mage walked to the front of the team with a wand about three feet long, two shield warriors carrying iris shields carefully in front of him, and two thieves followed closely behind him.
The other party beat more than fifty team members and two silver warriors with six people, and it didn't seem to have taken much effort, which means that if it weren't for the fact that these fifty or so team members happened to be weak today, then the other party was obviously at least the strength of the silver level or above.
The six silver warriors, which are considered extremely powerful in the mercenary world of Koran City, are also extremely powerful, and their storm wolves, including the regimental commander, only have this number of silver warriors.
Although His Excellency the Junior Magician can suppress the silver warriors of the same level, the opponent not only has six silver warriors, but also happens to have the two professions that pose the greatest threat to the magicians, archers and thieves, even the wind mages have to be careful.
The wind mage looked at the other party, and the nervous expressions on the faces of the two young warriors standing in front of him showed that their strength was far from reaching the silver level, and they could not threaten themselves, and the magic apprentice was directly ignored by him, maybe it was the junior brought by the other party.
What is really dangerous is the four old men with indifferent faces, although they are old, the results of this battle can explain everything, and his keen perception ability makes him feel the aura of danger from the other party.
[Minimum Silver Premium ......]
He glanced vaguely at the one-armed old thief who was standing loosely with his waist bent, and then at the old archer, who seemed to be twisting a flower, and gently resting the arrow on the bowstring, and asked with three points of respect, "Who are you, and why are you attacking our Storm Wolf?"
He can't help but be careless, the other party can live to this age and maintain such a strong combat power, which in itself already shows the strength of the other party, and the mercenary group that can have six silver warriors at the same time will definitely not be worse than the storm wolf there.
In particular, when the other party only had six members, he dared to go straight to the lair of the Storm Wolf, if he didn't have a little support, how could he be so fearless? In order not to provoke a strong enemy for the team, he could only hold back his anger and turn a blind eye to the wounded all over the ground.
"Who are we?"
To the surprise of the wind magician, it was not the four old men who spoke, but the young magic apprentice who was protected by two young warriors, Jia Lan smiled and said, "You can ask your head about this." ”
Although Jialan's attitude was very polite, the wind mage still frowned, and the other party did not even send a person of the same strength as him to talk, but let a magic apprentice come forward, which made him feel insulted.
"Whatever your intentions, please let go of our companions and hand over our flags!"
The Wind Mage's tone of anger became calm, "Otherwise, I won't guarantee that you will be able to leave here. ”
"Oh?"
Jialan said curiously: "Then what if we don't let go of your partners and are unwilling to hand over your regimental flag?"
The wind mage was speechless for a moment, indeed, his two important companions were held hostage by the other party, and the other party had more than four silver high-level warriors, once the battle started, he was really not sure that he would be able to save the lives of the two companions and himself.
Even if he could kill the two young warriors and the magic apprentice on the other side in an instant, the four old men standing behind them could also rush to his side in a very short time, kill themselves, and then calmly kill all the black iron and bronze mercenaries behind him.
The reason why the other party didn't do it was probably because he was worried about the safety of these three young people!
"If you are willing to hand over our regimental flags, I can guarantee that you will be able to leave safely......"
In the middle of the wind mage's words, there was a commotion behind him, and the group of people who searched for the members of the Iguana Fang all over the city finally got the news and rushed back, and at this moment, there were more than a hundred Storm Wolf mercenaries, and their station was impenetrable.
