Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Great Magician
Sawan took the invitation card of the Magic Guild and looked through it for a long time, and finally decided that it was better to ask the Earl. Going downstairs back to the large parlor to look for the Earl, Sawin showed the Count the invitation, but the Count shook his head again and again to indicate that he did not know about it. "Although I planned to arrange for you to visit the Magic Guild, I just planned to wait for the end of the competition, but I didn't expect the Magic Guild to take the initiative to send an invitation, which is a bit strange. The Earl said.
Sawan was even more undecided when he heard the Earl say this, and he asked the Earl, "Shall I be invited?"
The Earl smiled, "Since the Magic Guild has invited you so formally, you can go and let Exevenand Eliza accompany you." ”
Sawan nodded, since the Earl had no objections, he might as well go and take a look, he was also very curious about the most powerful guild in the whole continent. As soon as Sawan told Eliza and Exevin about it, both readily agreed, and the visit to the Magic Guild was decided.
Early the next morning, the three of them got into the carriage of the Earl's Court and headed for the Magic Guild, which was behind the Great Sanctuary, and the towering Magic Tower was the landmark of the guild. The Magic Guild is a rather mysterious place for ordinary people, and other industry guilds basically do not restrict the entry of ordinary people, but the Magic Guild is an exception, non-guild personnel are not allowed to enter, and the members of the Magic Guild are all magicians without exception.
There are no guards at the gate of the Magic Guild, and the decoration on the outside of the house looks quite low-key, without the slightest luxury as imagined, and it is hard to believe that this is the guild with the highest concentration of wealth on the mainland. There is a magic enchantment at the gate of the magic guild, and if there is no guild leader, it is impossible for ordinary people to break in, and only magicians who have reached a sufficient realm can do it.
The carriage was parked, and the three of them got off in turn, and a deacon of the Magic Guild was already waiting at the door.
"Welcome to three distinguished guests. The deacon was dressed in a gray mage robe with a short wooden staff stuck in his belt.
The three of them saluted one after another, and the deacon led the three of them to the door, only to see the deacon chanting a spell in his mouth, and a blue light immediately flashed in front of the door, indicating that the barrier had been unlocked, and then the deacon led the three of them into the door. Entering the hall is a spacious rotunda with a circular pool made of marble in the center and a metal sphere suspended in the air above the pool. The three of them entered the Magic Guild for the first time, and they were immediately attracted by this strange ball, and when they walked in front of them, they saw that this metal ball about the size of a human head was engraved with patterns, and the three of them looked at it for a while and did not understand the meaning of these patterns.
The deacon who received the three of them smiled and introduced, "This is a magic ball, which is used to simulate the appearance of our world. ”
"What! our world is a ball?" the three of them cried out in unison.
The deacon seemed to have guessed their reaction, and said with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "Everyone else will find it unbelievable when they see this for the first time, but this is indeed what our world is like. ”
After listening to the deacon's words, the three of them came closer and looked at the metal ball carefully, Eliza pointed to a place on the top of the ball and said, "Come and see, it turns out that our Enlova continent is here!" Savin and Exewin leaned over to take a look, and saw that there was a leaf-shaped pattern on the ball, and the word Enlova was engraved in the center of the pattern.
"No, the Enlova continent is so vast, and it's only so little on the ball. Savan said incredulously.
"That is, compared to this ball, the Enlova continent is probably less than one-tenth, is our world really that big?"
Only Exsewin did not speak, and she looked more closely, as if she was more in agreement with the world depicted on the ball than in the first place.
The deacons of the guild didn't intend to distinguish with them, but they stayed by patiently, always with a faint smile on their faces. The three of them looked at it for a while, and saw that the deacon was always with them, and they were a little embarrassed. So Exewin said, "What should I call this gentleman?"
"My name is Cantinis, and I'm currently a gray-robed mage. The deacon replied.
"Master Cantinis, I wonder where to take us next?" asked Exewin.
Cantinis smiled: "To be honest, we don't actually have too many landscapes worth visiting here, the most is books, and inviting three of them here today is actually our guild's elder deacon, Archmage Main, wants to meet the three." ”
"Archmage of Main Main, is he also in Thorin City?" asked Exevin, surprised.
Seeing that she was so surprised, Savin and Eliza secretly said in her heart: "This Main's archmage seems to be a great character, otherwise Exevin wouldn't be so surprised." ”
Cantinis replied, "Archmage of Main also arrived yesterday, and he was very curious to hear that a young hero had appeared in the city of Thorin, so he invited the three of them. ”
"Where is Archmage Main now?" Exewin asked.
"He's waiting in the living room upstairs, so please come with me." Cantinis said with a gesture of please.
The three of them followed Cantinis all the way to the living room upstairs, where they saw a handsome middle-aged man nestled in a chair, holding a book thicker than a brick in both hands, as if looking for something. Exewin stared at the other party's mage robe at a glance, the red mage robe, which was the logo of the great mage. According to the rules set by the Magic Guild, the magicians on the mainland wear different colors of mage robes according to their rank, from low to high, they are white, gray, blue, red, and gold. It is said that there are only three gold-robed mages in the entire continent at present, and there are only more than twenty red-robed mages, these people are the real elites on the continent, and they are at the top of the human world.
The reason why Archmage Main is so famous is because of his strength on the one hand, and on the other hand, because he is the youngest of all the red-robed archmages, he entered the archmage industry at the age of only forty, which is unique in the mainland. You must know that mages often live a long life, and it is not difficult to live two or three hundred years old, and when you become an archmage in your forties, you can see what kind of achievements he will achieve in the future.
At the same time, because of his youth, Archmage Main is currently one of the more active archmages in the red robe, and many affairs of the Magic Guild are handled by him, and other archmages are often obsessed with their own research, and it is common for years or even decades to remain unremarkable. Now all over the continent believe that Archmage Main is likely to become the next president of the Magic Guild, so the powerful people of various countries are trying to find a way to get along with him.
When Archmage Main saw the three of them coming, he immediately stood up and said to them, "Welcome to the three distinguished guests, please take a seat." ”
Everyone sat down, and Main looked at the three of them with his eyes, and all three of them had a feeling of being seen through, as if their secrets were unreservedly exposed to Archmage Main. Sawan had a peculiar feeling for Main, as if it wasn't the first time he had seen him, but more like an acquaintance for years. Sawin pondered in his heart why he felt this way, perhaps because of the temperament of the other party, which was quite similar to his teacher O'Siris, they were all the same shrewd and wise, with profound knowledge that ordinary people could hardly match, and Sawin couldn't help but have a little more affection for this Main's archmage.
"Savan, you're a celebrity in Thorin now, especially since yesterday's victory over Afasha, which is quite an achievement. Main smiled and said to Samin, which sounded like a kind word, but Samin always found the other person interesting.
"It's just a matter of luck. Sawin said modestly.
"Hehe, Afasha is not an ordinary gladiator, he has been famous for many years, even in the magic guild, he has been registered, and it is not so easy to find someone who can defeat him on the mainland. Main said.
Sawan wondered, "Could it be that the Magic Guild wants to avenge Afasha, and why does it always feel that there is something else in the words of this Archmage of Main?"
Sawan pretended to be heartless on the surface, and said: "Actually, I'm just lucky, Afasha's magic is really powerful, I was completely hacking at the time, but I didn't expect to cut him just now, I hope his soul can rest in peace." ”
"Oh, really?" Main squinted at Savin, "I don't think so, your ability to defeat Afasha is a sign that you are strong in combat and can crack his magic, which is not something that can be done by luck." ”
Hearing Main's words, Eliza and Exevenn were a little surprised, the archmage's tone was unquestionably fierce, did he want to deal with Sawen? The two looked at Sawan and then at Main uneasily, and at this time Savin's gaze gradually became sharp, and met Main's gaze without fear, and an indescribable tense atmosphere immediately filled the air.
"Maybe Afasha's magic is a mistake, or I don't know how to defeat him. Sawan said with a sneer.
"Afasha has used magic to defeat many masters before, and I have never heard that his magic will fail, I think you still have some special means, otherwise his magic will not be invalid. Main continued to stare at the topic, and his tone was no longer as polite as it had been.
Cantinis next to him was a little worried, what happened to Archmage Main today, why did he become so unfriendly, this is not like his usual behavior.
