It was a night that turned from constant surprises to constant frights. Everyone who stayed on that ship was deeply impressed. Until many years later, it was still a topic that was constantly mentioned and talked about by people who were on the ship at that time. But that night, everyone was in the same mood as if they had taken a sauna, and no one could stay calm.
To be honest, two surprises in one day drove Baron Engels' sailors crazy.
The last time it had nothing to do with me, I was just surprised. It looked like a magician was chopping vegetables, chopping up the cockatrice bandits who had been traversing the golden waterway for many years. Although everyone was surprised, there was more of a sense of joy in their hearts.
Those who were struggling to make a living on the Po River without relatives or friends perished at the hands of those bandits. No matter who their backers were or what the purpose was, they really paid the price with their lives, and everyone could only celebrate with their foreheads and hands.
But the last time was a real life threat. Even with the size of that giant water element, he could overturn the 'small boat' at his feet by just raising his legs without doing anything else. Although the thunder was loud and the raindrops were light in the end, it was inexplicably solved by the magician. Everyone could only breathe a sigh of relief, but they were worried that there would be a third twist tonight.
Fortunately that didn't happen.
Leaving aside those sailors who are just watching the show, the close associates of Baron and Mrs. Engels have never stopped expressing their opinions on using means to 'keep' the magician. However, less than a day after their first meeting, Baron William Engels, who was completely sober, asked about the butler who belonged to his wife: "Do you want to do it?"
The deacon from the Ruan family is the real member of the Ruan family's inner circle. His arrival meant that the group of people behind him gradually paid attention to Baron Engels's network. At the same time, he is also hidden among the baron and his wife's cronies, a hidden strong man...compared to ordinary people, he is a hidden and strong man, serving as the final guarantee for the life safety of the baron and his wife.
The opinion of such a person greatly influenced the decision of the Baron and his wife. Before this, he had never expressed his opinion. On the one hand, it was also because of William Greco's clear stance that he did not allow anyone to deal with his friends. That sword master was an opponent that the deacon admitted he could not win; now there were two more names on the list of people he could not win.
In response to the half-master's inquiry and the equally puzzled look of Miss Ruan, the deacon said seriously: "If we fight head-on, I guess even if all the family's trump cards are revealed, we won't be our opponent. So please don't Thinking about things that don’t make sense.”
"It can't be dealt with."
"Yes. That elusive magic seems to have no restrictions on its use. For this reason alone, all sneak attacks and surprise attacks are meaningless. Even in the case of failure, you can't even escape. And as long as you fall into the opponent As long as the lich is in my hands, there will be no secrets that cannot be revealed."
"Even if you die, it won't solve the problem. In other words, you shouldn't even try until you are absolutely sure."
"Yes, that's right. And there's another big problem."
Following the deacon's words, Baron Engels thought of the ordinary 'long sword' in that man's hand and sighed. "Hakakiri, it's more exaggerated than the ship-cutting sword. And it's even more exaggerated than the rumors say."
"According to legend, a hakiri will actively select its user; apart from that, it is just extremely hard and cannot be destroyed except by using other hakiri. But that hakiri shows more than just 'hardness' Features. It can speak like a human being. Sometimes the blade is so blunt that it won't be hurt if you just scratch it with your hand. Sometimes it can cut open monsters like Cockatrice as easily as chopping vegetables; and the most important thing is that it can speak like a human. The thing is, I doubt that Hakiri uses magic."
"You can use magic. Where did you observe it?"
The deacon thought for a while, and after thinking about the words, he said: "It was when the magician threw the sword when they were fighting in the air, and the magic power reacted around the sword. And that was the same as being exerted The state of magic is different, more like actively casting magic."
"What a troublesome person." Baron Engels sighed, and asked the light-armored knight who had been standing behind him: "Teacher, do you think my father can do anything?"
As the swordsmanship teacher of the fifth nobleman, the light knight also has aristocratic status and knows all the inside stories that should be known. Therefore, he was qualified to serve as William Engels' personal bodyguard. But he didn't have any confidence in dealing with the two magicians. He said, "There is no way to deal with two people of the Dharma Saint level at the same time, even if the military country comes forward."
"Dharma Saint..." William Engels swallowed a mouthful of saliva. No matter how much the nobles look down on magicians, they still hold in awe the person represented by the term 'Magic Saint'.
Magicians who are good at fighting will be awarded the title of Great Magician. But such titles are only regional. If the reputation is very high in a certain area, the so-called great magician will inevitably be mixed with some water. But if you are recognized as a great magician by enough magician associations in different divisions, you will automatically be given the title of magician. Another meaning is that 'this guy is so tough that almost all the magicians in the land will recognize him'.
Of course, a military noble is not qualified to judge whether a magician has the qualifications of a Dharma Saint. But if the magician is the imaginary enemy, the magic apprentice is undoubtedly the lowest level opponent. The magician belongs to one level, and the great magician belongs to another level. As for Dharma Saint, there is no doubt that he is on another level.
At that level, the only solution is to use war. If the other party has a magic tower, then even delusions can be saved. Therefore, the subtext of William Engels' personal bodyguard and swordsmanship teacher is: don't think about dealing with him, just go to sleep.
Of course, William Engels also attached great importance to his teacher's evaluation. If the opponent is regarded as a 'Dharma Saint' level character, then many strategies need to be adjusted.
Nobles do not immediately become good friends with anyone they meet, even if they have the grace to save their lives. Instead, they will go through a series of evaluations and confirm that the other party is indeed helpful to them, and then they will intersect according to the situation.
If betrayal can lead to higher benefits, they will not hesitate; similarly, if provocation will outweigh the gains, except for a few people who are mentally ill, otherwise their bodies will be very weak.
Everything is done with the interests of one's own family as the top priority.
So what happened that night soon came to the attention of Duke Engels and the head of the Ruan family. Then, centered on the two families, it quickly radiated out among all the noble classes.
For the Baron and his wife, passing on the information as soon as possible can prevent the family behind them from making wrong decisions. Even if you are disapproving of a magician and a lich who is suspected to be the devil king from thousands of years ago, if you want to deal with it, please solve the problems you can see in front of you first.
The elusive teleportation magic, a legendary weapon-Hakiri, and the towering water element giant. There is no way to solve the problems witnessed by these three barons and couples. No matter how unconvinced you are, please stay dormant like a bug.
Of course, the evaluation of the 'Dharma Saint' level was also spread. The attitude of most nobles is still that of a dead person. Every young noble who wants to be famous wants to try this 'Dharma Saint'. If those abilities weren't too incomprehensible, I'm afraid someone would not be able to live in peace.
However, the magicians association in the district, as if against the Vader military empire that had been suppressing them, quickly decided to grant the title of great magician to two people who did not come to the district branch headquarters to report, but just passed by. . And sent an envoy to promulgate such an honor.
But when others saw the two magicians again, it was already three days later. Of course, someone cannot spend all their time in bed; Lin took this opportunity to conduct a magical experiment that he did not want to make public, and Fen was an indispensable helper; judging from the results, it was not considered a success. On the other hand, someone fulfilled his promise to give two apprentices a two-day holiday in disguise.
During the days of temporary isolation from the outside world, there are also many changes outside. After someone came out, the first thing he discovered was that the white sword master had left again. Saying that he was going to find his own sword, William Greco left the ship alone, not knowing where to go.
What followed was a series of greetings and greetings. Baron and Mrs. Engels were the most thoughtful. They not only sent some wine, but also sent a letter on behalf of the Ruan family. The content of the document states that all Ruan's chambers of commerce must provide convenience.
This letter is more like a letter of introduction than providing a membership in Earth's VIP system.
In Lost Land, the big nobles and big chambers of commerce are the same. They will not easily ignore people they don't know. To contact them, you must have an introduction from an intermediary. In fact, it also means a credit guarantee, but this guarantee does not necessarily have joint liability, it depends on the status and strength of both parties.
In the past, most of Lin's contacts with the Chamber of Commerce were through the Magicians Association. In other words, the association acts as an introducer and guarantor, providing services for magicians in need to buy and sell goods.
And with this letter, someone can take advantage of the Ruan family's network, which is considered a very high courtesy.
As for another group of unexpected guests, they were the messengers who came to inform the local magicians association, Lizejian branch. The leader was a white-haired great magician who was going to confer on two people the qualifications of great magicians in Lizejian District.
The person who was most surprised by such news was none other than Guy Blashy Lin Tripwood himself. He never thought that one day he would be able to hang two golden threads.
According to the knowledge of the earth, a great magician is at least the level of a university professor. To become a professor, in addition to knowledge, connections are also very important. This is not a position that can be obtained simply by being smart.
If I hadn't time traveled through time, I, as a top student, would be confident that I wouldn't lose to anyone when it comes to reading and doing research; but when it comes to being a professor, I don't have much confidence. Because the major is so special, you will probably be a researcher for the rest of your life. If you are unlucky, you will have to find a job outside of your major. You will not even be able to become a researcher, let alone reach the level of a professor.
When the traditional-looking white-bearded old magician said this fact with a kind smile, someone was confused. Fen took it as a matter of course, without any psychological burden at all.
