Chapter 14 The Fraudster?
Downs thought he had answered appropriately, but he didn't know that he was not pleasing to both sides.
If Wren heard it, he probably scolded with a bitter face, "You, he's meowing to spread the name of a teacher!" I'm going to make disciples! ’
Count Lamancha was here, and in addition to being curious that Downs had a mysterious good master, he was even more shocked by the master's methods - nonsense! What kind of demon is it to be able to teach a master who is a full-fledged mage in two weeks?
Downs are valuable, but not necessarily that valuable.
The value of Downs lies in his potential, in the master behind him, but the strength of Downs himself, when put into the entire kingdom, and even the entire human world, it is not enough.
A full-fledged mage has only stepped into the realm of the extraordinary. In other words, this is the 'backbone' of levels 1 to 5.
Levels 6 to 10 are high-level, and at this stage, the mage will know quite a lot of advanced spells, which can be regarded as a master.
Levels 11 to 19 will be called masters, and at this stage, they will be the top of each class. By the way, the legendary lich is at least a mage who starts at level 11 and turns into the arms of death......
Level 20 and above is a legend, and it is known as the existence closest to a god.
Downs is now an official mage, and is level 3 in Wren's system rating.
Seriously, there are a lot of strong people who can kill him.
However, his matter has been stabbed to the top of the kingdom for the first time.
Three hundred kilometers away, in the royal palace.
King Cervantes XIII was in his prime, and forty years old was quite good for a king. His gray hair was draped over his shoulders like a lion's, and his rich clothes could not hide his muscles and shapely figure.
His blue eyes swept Count Ramancho's secret letter as sharp as a falcon, and then handed it to his advisor.
"Garnis, what do you think?"
Mr. Advisor is a man with strange brown skin, a reddish-brown beard, and a pair of long, pointed ears. He had a human-like body, but he was distinguished by his ears.
A half-elf with a long lifespan!
After reading the secret letter, Garnis's face was a little strange, and he thought for a moment: "It's a good thing overall." ”
"I'd rather hear the bad news first." The king crossed his fingers, leaned back on the chair, and rested on his lower abdomen.
"If there's bad news, it's that there's a good chance that this mysterious mentor is undead."
King Cervantes's forehead twitched, as if a cross-shaped green tendon appeared.
"As a witness who has lived for 200 years and witnessed the [Day of the End of Magic], I can say with certainty that the beings who used magic back then were not all crazy or dead. There was a handful of spellcasters who were not approved by the goddess of magic, who escaped the backlash of the collapse of the magic web. ”
"Lich." Squeezed these two cold words out of the king's teeth.
Garnis continued, "Your Majesty, do you know why it is necessary to recite spells in the past to perform magic, and for priests to perform magic now? ”
The king shook his head: "I am a pure [warrior]! ”
"I'll use an analogy for a spell, it's a key, and it's just a fixed lock. Back then, the Goddess of Magic established the magic net to make it safe and easy for most magicians in the world to use magic. To use a spell, all you have to do is recite the correct spell and pay the corresponding mana to the net, and that's it. ”
"Let's put it simply."
"Then it's like your majesty if you want to get on a horse, and with a command, your groom will help you bring the horses, and your servants will kneel down and give you a foot to get up. Your command is the Key. ”
The king nodded patiently and motioned for his advisor to continue.
"Let's not discuss why the goddess of magic fell. Now it is the case that you have neither a servant nor a groom, Your Majesty, and even your mount is an untamed wild horse. You want to ride a horse, everything is on your own and start from scratch. ”
"It's so hard to master magic without going through the magic web?"
"It's at least 10,000 times harder than this!" Garnis sighed, "First of all, you must have enough knowledge to grasp the [truth], or the basic laws of magic, that are recognized by this world. Then use the perceptual ability that surpasses almost everyone in the world to use these powers beyond mortals for their own use. This is tantamount to redefining the term "magic"! ”
The king was dumbfounded.
Garnis spread his hands: "This is the reason why in the past hundred years, countless wise men have tried to resurrect [magic] but ultimately failed. ”
Hearing this, the king's eyes sharpened: "So, there is a lot of probability that the other party is a lich?" ”
"Well, I can't say that, it seems that Count Lamancho also noticed this, and he mentioned that this young mage named Downs used to eat grilled fish with his master."
“……”
As you know, lichs don't eat.
Most of the lich were mages in their lifetimes, and they threw their souls into evil for various reasons, such as prolonging their lives. They crave power and knowledge more than zombies who lose their minds and have an instinctive desire to eat.
Speaking of this, Mr. Advisor stood up with a smile: "Your Majesty, let me go." If the other party is a living person, and can reach some kind of agreement or cooperation with the other party, it will be a blessing for the whole kingdom. ”
The king nodded in approval and emphasized, "Garnis! Bring enough people! Enough people! ”
King Cervantes's words warmed Ganis's heart. The half-elf knew that it was the king who was worried about his safety.
Two days later, Downs looked at Garnis and his retinue with a powerful aura in front of him, a little dazed.
The half-elf in front of him showed the most respectful etiquette with impeccable elegance.
"Your Excellency Downs Quixote! His Majesty would like to hire you as the royal mage of the royal family, with the same status as a hereditary viscount. You can choose any place within His Majesty's Domain and the Lamancho Realm as your fiefdom. ”
"This ...... Isn't that an exaggeration, I'm just helping you repel the monster attack. ”
"Frankly speaking, with Your Excellency's strength, this is indeed high. But as the first official mage to be born on the continent in a hundred years, this is very reasonable. Moreover, His Majesty Cervantes has sent me as a representative to pay a visit to your teacher. ”
Tang Si's heart suddenly tightened: "I, Master, him, my ......"
The half-elf still didn't mean to be angry, and he gently induced the young man in front of him: "Is there anything taboo?" Or maybe your teacher refuses to be visited? You are not even allowed to report his name? ”
At this moment, a thousand thoughts flashed through Garnis's mind. If the young man in front of him makes an excuse to refuse, he will be ready to provoke a lich.
Preparation in every sense.
At this moment, Tang Si, who had been holding back for half a year, suddenly said: "No! Master, he is very demanding. He said, 'There was a king who put all the treasures in his treasury before him, and he took away the king's sons and daughters as disciples because they did not have that talent.' I can take you there, but please don't anger Master. ”
Garnis: "......"
Coming out of your hotel, the burly man next to Garnis came over: "My lord, what do you think?" ”
"Master Fammit, it's hard to say this time!" The half-elf sighed: "Either this master is a super liar who deceives the world, or ...... He is truly the legendary great magician that all mankind dreams of! ”
