Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Rank of a Legend
After receiving Brian's explanation, many of Leo's questions suddenly became clear.
Then, Brian pointed to a magic golem and said, "Everyone, if you have any requests, you can ask Karl, and it will do its best to accommodate you, and finally wish you the habit of living here." β
As soon as the words fell, a voice similar to a metallic electronic voice came from the body of the magic golem, "That's right, Carl is happy to serve you, trust me, you will love it here, I am the smartest!"
"No, it's not. Brian smiled and shook his head, "Of all the alchemy souls in Lordaeron, Karl can only be ranked in the middle and lower reaches, but well, it is indeed the most attentive and most suitable to serve you. β
Hearing him say this, Leo couldn't help but be curious: "How many alchemy souls does Lordaren have?"
"That's a lot, but if you're talking about those super alchemy souls, there are twelve in total. Brian replied, and without waiting for Leo to ask again, continued, "Oh, there's new guests arriving, and I'm going to have to meet them." Everyone, please rest well, Karl will inform you of the specific arrangements tomorrow. β
"No problem, thank you for your hospitality, please get busy. Siriman waved his hand.
Under Karl's arrangement, the six people quickly moved into the room.
Leo then realized that it turned out that each of the hospitality puppets here was called Carl, but although they were controlled by the same alchemy soul, they had different personalities, which was really weird, and it was impossible to guess what was going on.
The rooms offered by Lordaeron were not luxurious, but there was no ambiguity in terms of comfort, and after only a few minutes, Leo fell in love with them.
With a wide variety of magical facilities, almost everything can be done with magic.
Changing clothes, washing, heating food, opening and closing lights, doors and windows, and even the bed can be changed automatically using magic.
And all this is all that is needed to shout "Karl".
Lying in the comfort of the bed, the tiredness of a long sailing trip is exuded. Let Leo not even want to move the head of a little finger. Sensing the drowsiness welling up, he immediately said, "Carl, please give me a blanket." β
"As you wish, dear guests. With a distinctive sound, the cabinet opened automatically, and a soft blanket floated out of its own accord, covering Leo's body, bringing a burst of cosy warmth.
Then, Karl's voice rang out again: "Distinguished guest, you seem to be very tired. Maybe you'll need my favorite relaxing massage. After many tests, my massage can play a great role in fatigue, muscle relaxation, physical fitness, and even mental recovery. β
"And a massage?" Leo thought in a daze, and said casually, "Okay, then give me a massage." β
"I promise, you'll love it, get prone first. We start with the back. As soon as Carl finished speaking, four small mallets flew up to Leo and spun as if humans were moving their wrists.
See this scene. Leo grinned, suddenly worried.
It's just that they have all agreed, and it is not very polite to change the hexagram immediately, so he has to turn around. "Please be gentle, I don't like pain." β
"Of course, no one likes pain. Rest assured. This is a massage that I have specially tailored for the mages and is guaranteed to not damage you in any way. So can I start?"
From the moment he entered the room, Carl behaved more reliably, and Leo no longer hesitated anything. After all, he didn't think he would be hurt in any way at Lordaeron. "Yes, please get started. β
"Crackle, crackle!" the small mallet rained down on Leo's back, sometimes urgent, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, each stroke quite rhythmic.
After getting through the initial tension, Leo slowly found that an indescribable feeling of comfort rose from his heel to his head.
With each fall of the gavel, the tiredness is squeezed out, and the whole person enters a state of complete relaxation.
"In the future, when I have the magic tower, I will also get such an alchemy soul as a housekeeper......" In a daze, Leo only had this idea in his mind.
The next day, under the leadership of the magic puppet, several people who had rested for the night reunited in the dining area. Looking at their red faces and full of energy, Leo knew that they must have had a very good rest just like himself.
At this time, many people have gathered in the spacious dining area. Judging from their dress and age composition, they should basically come from various places to participate in the competition. However, since arriving here, the various colleges of the Lunar Empire have been separated, perhaps to prevent collusion between them, which violates the principle of competition on a unit-by-house basis.
And among these contestants, of course, they are mainly humans, accounting for about 50 percent. For the rest, Leo discovers gnomes, half-elves, Tevelyn, a hybrid of demons and humans, Asmo, a hybrid of humans and celestial creatures, elemental descendants, snake people, centaurs, and some strange intelligent beings whose names are not even known.
Sensing everyone's surprise, Silriman whispered, "They are from the secondary planes, you better be polite and not stare at people." β
Seaberton hurriedly retracted his gaze and asked, "Director, the guys from the secondary planes can also participate in the competition?"
Siliman touched his whitebeard and said, "Why not? Although they live in a different environment from me and look very different from us, they are also mages, and they also pursue the mysteries of magic. β
Hearing him say this, Leo couldn't help but think of the spider plane, if magic develops in that place, I don't know what kind of changes will occur to them, and whether they will be eligible to participate in the Lordaeron Competition.
However, it was obviously inappropriate to mention this at such a time, so Leo simply buried his head in eating.
Sanders didn't think as much as he thought, and said, "Director, when are we going to start playing?"
Silriman looked at Sanders and replied, "If I remember correctly, there will be some special events ahead, and the competition won't officially start until all the activities are over." Maybe it's tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, what, you're nervous?"
The little fat man smiled and nodded, "A little." A little bit. β
Celean shook his head and said, "Don't be nervous, there are so many people participating, each of them is not an ordinary guy, the competition must be very fierce, and you just need to play as hard as you can, the academy has no requirements for what you can achieve in the end." β
Leia, who had never spoken much, suddenly raised her eyebrows: "That's what I said, but since I'm here, I can't go home empty-handed, what do you say, Leo?"
"Huh?" Leo looked up blankly. Concentrate on eating by yourself. I didn't have the will to participate at all, why did I suddenly pull it on me again......
After savoring Laia's words for a moment, he spoke: "I think, there are some things that can't be forced, just do your best and have a clear conscience, at least you won't regret it in the future." β
Rubersky, who was next to him, immediately affirmed: "Leo is right, as long as you do your best, we will be teachers." You'll feel very relieved. β
How could Leo not know that Siriman and Rubersky were relaxing for a few people, and no one wanted to see their own academy get good grades, so they just smiled. Didn't answer again.
After a while, after breakfast, Alchemy Soul Carl arranged more than a dozen magic puppets to lead a team of hundreds of people. Left the residential area. According to him, His Excellency the Speaker of the Supreme Magical Council will hold a welcoming ceremony for the Lord.
Follow the army all the way. Seaberton asked curiously, "What is the Supreme Magic Council?"
"You don't even know that?" Sanderston looked surprised, and then felt that his tone seemed to carry some disdain, and he hurriedly lowered his tone, after all, the two of them were going to compete together next, and they might not stiffen the relationship.
"The Supreme Council of Magic is a small group of mages, although they do not directly control any other organization, only control Lordaeron, but all magical organizations will regularly report to it on various situations, including the submission of valuable papers, important personnel changes, etc. β
Noticing that several other academy people next to him were eavesdropping on his words, Sanders became proud again and continued to introduce: "It can be said that the Supreme Magic Council is the core of the wizarding world. There is a Speaker of Parliament, as well as twelve members, who rotate every 10 years. All of these people are extremely powerful legendary mages, and any decision they make will have a profound impact on the wizarding world. My grandfather told me that there has only been one councilor in the entire Calente Empire over the years, and even the current president of the Council, His Excellency Redwin, is still far from becoming a councilor!"
Siberton entered the academy through the joint entrance examination for magic, and of course he knew that Lord Redwin was one of the most powerful mages in the entire Calente Empire, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Even His Excellency Redwin is not a councilor, so what kind of strength is His Excellency Speaker!"
"Well...... Saunders deliberately sold off the pass, and asked rhetorically, "Do you know the rank above the legend?"
"Is there a level above the legend?" Although Sibberton is quite good, he is too far away from the legend, so he really doesn't know about this.
"Of course there is, there are also high and low legendary powerhouses, and of course there are ranks. But they're not on a 1 to 10 scale like we do. It was rare to be able to show off once, Sanders became more and more excited, and snapped his fingers, "The strong man who has just entered the legend is called an ordinary legend, then a senior legend, then a peak legend, and finally ......."
"What's in the end? Oh, say it!" Seeing Sanders's successive betrayals, Seaberton was eager to open his mouth.
Sanders smiled: "In the end, of course, it's God." β
Hearing this word, Seaberton couldn't help but be stunned: "God...... ......"
Sanders nodded, "That's right, it's God." In fact, the boundaries between the legendary powerhouses are not obvious, but the comprehension of the rules is somewhat high. And when you reach the pinnacle legend, you can already perfectly master some of the rules, and if you continue to improve, you must assimilate with the rules, or even become the rules themselves, then you are not a god. In fact, the strength of the peak legendary powerhouse can already compete with some true gods, but he didn't borrow the rules to ignite the divine fire. β
"I see, alas, I don't know if I've ever reached that state one day. Seaberton looked at the tallest magic tower in the distance and sighed.
Leo next to him had been listening to Sanders, and although he knew a little about them, he was by no means as clear as Sanders did. Even if there was such content in the academy's library, it was still difficult to access it at his current level, so much so that he couldn't help but start to envy the little fat man for coming from the magic family.
Those magic families with a long history do have a very unique accumulation, which is not something that ordinary people can have.
Subconsciously, Leo asked, "Then what is the rank of His Excellency the Speaker?"
"Yes, it's the pinnacle legend!" Sanders looked in admiration, and then added, "So in a few years, Your Excellency the Speaker will have to leave." β
"And why is that?" Sieberton wondered.
Sanders replied with some distress: "Because if you continue to go up, it will naturally ignite the divine fire." But becoming a god is not so easy, not only may it cause hostility from other gods, but it may also be countered by the rules of the plane, and the chance of success is very small. β
After a pause, he continued, "What's more, even if you become a god, it's not a good thing for us mages. Developing believers, being firmly controlled by the plane, messing around a lot of things. Even though it has infinite life, it is like a cage with infinite imprisonment. Therefore, mages who have reached this level will basically choose to leave and enter the depths of the crystal wall system to explore. While searching for the mystery of the universe, we are also looking for solutions to this problem. It's just that so far, nothing has remained the same. β
"Could this be the ultimate destination of our mage?" Leo thought to himself.
Soon, he shook his head again and threw the thought aside. Now that he has just become an intermediate mage, he only needs to think about how to become a high-level mage, and thinking about it so much is not conducive to continuing to improve.
As he spoke, the procession of hundreds of people had already made their way through the long streets, past countless magic towers, and in front of a huge building.
It was a twenty-meter-tall building, and its entire body was milky white, as if it were a huge piece of jade. Its overall structure looks somewhat like the Parthenon in Greece from the previous days. Above the faΓ§ade is an isosceles blunt triangle with dozens of huge cylindrical supports below. (To be continued.) )
