"Oh, you finally remembered me?" Fen walked down from the second floor, wearing a bright red evening dress. The appropriate tailoring perfectly brought out her exquisite figure. She was so hot that it stimulated the desire of men and certainly attracted the attention of the men present.
Although I have heard that the magician Gabrash Tripwood is accompanied by a rare beauty. But seeing her with one's own eyes, her dazzling appearance will only make people feel that the rumors cannot describe her beauty.
As a man who grew up in a noble family and was touted as a young and promising man, Shur Ion naturally cared more about the behavior of some nobles. He made a careful bow and said with coloratura: "Beautiful lady, it is an honor to meet you. I am Sir Shur Ion from St. Vitus City. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to get your Famous name."
Fen looked at Lin with a victor's gaze, showing off. Someone curled his lips in response and cast his eyes to the side. Fen, who was in a good mood, didn't care about the big white of his eyes at all, and said: "It's an honor to meet you, Sir Shur Ion. I am Fen, Fen Ni Tikal. The lich in your mouth."
I was originally expecting the other party to stretch out that delicate hand so that I could take the opportunity to kiss her hand. But as soon as he heard the answer, Shur Ion's heart froze, and he showed an expression of collapse.
Looking at the slumped face in front of him, Fen didn't feel offended, but felt a sense of pleasure that his trick had succeeded. Said: "Young man, you look good. But don't keep your teacher waiting too long, so let's set off. Please lead the way."
Perhaps realizing that his expression was too rude, Shur Ion forced himself to calm down, regained his aristocratic calmness, and said, "Yes, you two, please come with me."
Instructing his two apprentices, Gu Jia, to help him put on a neater robe, Lin was held by Fen's arm and went out under the mixed looks of admiration and fear from others.
Since it was quite a distance from his residence to the central tower, Shur Ion came by carriage. The carriage used was not an ordinary carriage, but the highest grade carriage used for welcoming guests in Wulian City. In addition to all kinds of dazzling carvings and decorations, there are also pink velvet chair cushions and four horses of the same height and coat color.
Such a high-level reception was not only to welcome a noble magician who might be a lich, but also to express importance to Lin, the former tower owner of the Tower of the Great Sage.
They couldn't help but ignore it. The tower that many magicians once disliked and even refused to move in was too scary. If Tripwood still stayed in the tower, it would only make people deeply fearful. But now that he has left the magic tower, there will still be fears, but what everyone wants to know more is the knowledge in his head.
Expressing attention, bribery, and asking him to hand it over voluntarily is one method; intimidation and coercion are another method, and it depends on which method the original tower owner adopts.
Now Cheng Guo? President Eaton uses a soft knife to deal with Lin. It's a pity to welcome guests with this kind of high-end carriage in the eyes of the natives of Midi, but it means nothing to Lin. The so-called car, as long as it does not have shock absorbers, is rubbish.
In the carriage, Fen stayed quietly, looking out the window. When she didn't speak and kept quiet, she was no different from those ladies from noble families. Shur Ion sometimes forgets the identity of the lich and wants to talk to her. But when she looked directly into those charming eyes that seemed to be able to discharge, she couldn't say anything.
Lin, on the other hand, sat restlessly, adjusting the gauze mask on his left eye from time to time. I really don’t know how those one-eyed dragons got used to this kind of thing, all kinds of stuffiness and discomfort.
Just as the two men were restless, they arrived at the Central Tower, the tallest landmark building in Wulian City.
Since most of the association's functions are divided among the other four towers, the middle tower is relatively quiet. Except for the guards standing quietly at the door, Lin could not see the young magicians outside holding a large number of documents and walking quickly with their heads lowered.
Go directly to the small conference room on the second floor. President Chengguo Eaton is chatting with the owner of the North Tower. As soon as they saw someone coming in, they immediately stood up to greet him. Although their status and qualifications in the association belong to the highest-ranking group, being able to become lichs qualifies them to receive their attention and courtesy.
At least the ritual of immortality has been handed down, and only fragments are preserved in the association. Those who can successfully transform themselves with the help of this data are all talents. If the information does not come from the association, it means there is another inheritance, which deserves more attention.
Let me reiterate, the magicians of this era have no racial concepts of order and evil, and only judge the good and evil camp to which a person belongs based on his actions. Therefore, in their eyes, liches are not objects that must be eliminated or exiled.
However, Fen's appearance still surprised them a little. Considering the three people who came in, one was his student, so there was no mistaking him; one was the former tower owner of the Tower of the Great Sage, he had dealt with him several times, and he had a certain understanding of his identity and origin; the remaining one was You must be the lich who was invited.
No magician would insist on bringing a female companion to a place like this, and no woman with nothing but beauty would be able to withstand the aura of two great magicians.
This is not to say that magicians can exert any overwhelming momentum. It's just that Cheng Guo, Eaton and other two old guys have simply stayed in high positions for a long time, so they naturally have an intimidating aura that makes ordinary people feel unapproachable.
Facing the piercing eyes of the two old men, Fen still behaved gracefully and showed no timidity at all. It's just that the host didn't invite her, so she couldn't sit down without permission. This didn't mean that the former Demon King would care about the feelings of others, or care about his own image. It’s just that there are too many seats in the small conference room, and I simply don’t know where to sit.
Seeing two old men staring at a beautiful woman, as if they were trying to eat her alive, Lin coughed a few times and said, "Mr. President, how about we sit down first and then talk about it?"
"Of course, please."
As the two parties sat down, a waiter naturally served tea. The information placed in front of the president and the North Tower Master was the application data that Fen filled out when he came to Wulian City.
Generally speaking, this kind of review is just a process to confirm the applicant's rank, whether he is an apprentice or an ordinary magician, and whether he has any record of committing major crimes.
Of course, the so-called criminal records are limited to the local area due to the inconvenient information circulation in the Lost World. A magician from out of town kills people and sets fire, and then runs to a place where no one knows and starts a new life. This is an easy thing to do in a lost land.
For some kingdoms or noble territories, household registration was granted with considerable caution. But the Magicians Association is not so particular. As long as they are not major criminals wanted across the continent, there is almost no association that refuses any magician to join.
When the applicant's qualifications are greater than that of a great magician, they will be personally recognized by the North Tower Master. Some people with relatively good reputations, who are proven to be powerful after a simple test, will obtain the qualification of a great magician in a new branch. After accumulating enough branches to recognize his qualifications as a great magician, he is called a Dharma Saint.
If you have never heard of it, you will pass a simple test, but there is usually a higher chance of not getting the title of Grand Magician. The emphasis in the Lost World is on actual achievements, which are spread through rumors; if you have never heard of them, of course you will not know what amazing things someone has done. There are so many tests just to prevent some weak people from pretending to be fake.
But what if the person applying is a lich?
To be honest, none of the two old men present, or the senior officials of the Xijia District branch, had ever seen a lich. Even looking at the entire Lost World, there were not many lichs in the open, let alone Tell people to see it. Under such circumstances, how to determine the identity of a lich. Two experienced magicians really couldn't think of a way.
"Well, let's start with the name first." Chengguo Yiton is indeed the president and knows how to take it step by step. He picked up the written application data and started reading from the beginning. "Fanny Tikal. Well, Tikal, a very rare surname. But I vaguely heard it somewhere? Is it the surname of a noble in Midland?"
"None of them." Fen said directly without being pretentious: "It's the demon king Tikal who was terminated by the brave in your history a thousand years ago."
Generally speaking, when talking about ancestors, it is polite to speak in a positive light. If we greet each other as soon as we meet, "Isn't your dad that idiot who did a lot of bad things?", that's the same as trying to cause trouble. So although the two old men thought of the Demon King's surname from a thousand years ago, they tacitly avoided talking about it.
However, a certain beauty completely ignored the goodwill shown by the two old men and opened the scars on her own. The two senior and powerful old men could only laugh a few times and said, "Yes, what a coincidence."
"No, no, no, it's not a coincidence. That's me."
…
The two old men looked confused and turned to look at Lin, who was silent next to them. The eyes seem to be saying whether the woman you brought has a weird brain and whether you should take it back to fix it.
Considering that I had discussed it with Fen before, I had no intention of hiding her origins. So Lin saw the president's eyes and said directly: "Mr. President, do you still remember that strange object, the golden skeleton?"
Without waiting for an answer, Lin continued: "I found the skull part that had never been found in the secret compartment of the Tower of the Great Sage. On a whim, I collected the rest of the golden skull. Putting them together, she Resurrected." He said it in an understatement, and Fen just nodded in time. But to the ears of two old magicians, it was like thunder.
They spent a long time, but they couldn't say a complete sentence. He just widened his eyes and looked at the man who didn't feel at all that he had made a huge mistake. At first, the Koos family accused the person in front of them of summoning demons and opening the door to the abyss, but later confirmed that these were just frame-ups. But could this man have done anything less than summoning a demon?
