Seeing the burly mercenary pull out another dagger that was exactly the same as that brought by Ryan, everyone on the scene immediately talked and the scene suddenly became noisy. A sharp voice in the crowd said, “Pike, did you kill the scar from your companion a year ago?”
The burly mercenary, called Parker, didn’t answer. He looked at Flanner, and then at Ryan. He asked aloud, slightly suspiciously, “Who killed the bastard? “
Flanner pointed at Ryan and said, “It’s him.”
“He?” Parker made a skeptical voice, saying: “Impossible, he is still so young, so possible?”
Someone around the mercenary said at this time: “Maybe they are a big mercenary group, what’s impossible?”
Flanner elegantly presented a noble gift to the onlookers and said: “Gentlemen, beautiful ladies. The scumbag is a businessman of the Dolock Chamber of Commerce, called Flanner.”
The sharp voice just now sounded again: “Pike your wish is finally fulfilled. Locke is so big, how difficult is it to deal with a small scar?”
“No, it’s not like that.” Flanner quickly explained: “I guarantee my merchant’s credibility, and it’s the Mr. Lane who is by my side that removes the thief scar and his five companions.”
Hearing Flanner’s words, the scene was immediately confused. Almost no one would believe that the young boy in front of him had removed the “scars” that Alfa City wanted for several years.
Seeing the faces of all the people, Flanner naturally knew what they thought. He continued: “I am very honoured to take risks with Mr. Ryan. On this trip to the beautiful Alfa, we met Wicked scars, and five of his accomplices. At that time I thought I was dead. I even prayed in front of the light **** for help. But our Mr. Ryan stood bravely for six In front of the fierce wicked thief, he used his power to remove the thief who had been blaming Alfa for many years. “
“Maybe you don’t believe it. To be honest, I didn’t believe it at the time. I thought I was seeing hallucinations, but I use the reputation of my businessman to assure you that my words are absolutely true!”
“It’s him alone?” Parker asked Flanner: “The scoundrel **** once killed two of my companions, and I got a flying knife against him in the back. Damn guy, I wo n’t be standing here today! In this way, I lay at home for three days. “
Speaking of which, Pike pulled out his warrior badge and showed it to Flanner: “See? No, there are three daggers on this badge. This is the logo of the third-level warrior. Both I and my 2 companions are The third-level fighter is still defeated by the bastard. “
Speaking of which, Pike pointed his finger to Ryan and said to Flanner: “You said that this little guy with no hair is killing scars with at least level 5 thieves strength? You are all idiots. ?”
Although his words were questioned by others, Flanner did not change his face and said calmly: “My friend, please keep your calm like a gentleman when you have not heard me tell the whole story. And silence, okay? “
Ryan saw this incident getting bigger and bigger, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart. He pulled Flanner and whispered in his ear, “Okay, Flanner.”
Flanner turned his head and smiled softly in Ryan’s ear: “Ryan, you don’t need to talk, just look at me. Rest assured.”
Seeing Flanner give me a mysterious look, and then looked at the dozens of mercenaries around him, Ryan felt that it was really unclear on this occasion. Just listen to Flanner. Although the time he knew was broken, he still believed in Flaner’s character and character, and believed that he would not harm himself.
Flanner said aloud: “Dear respected sirs, beautiful ladies. I will unravel the mystery of the matter. Just now this sir said,” he continued with his hand, “The scar is at least level 5. Thieves, he still has 5 accomplices, even if his accomplices are a little worse than him, there are also 4 levels. How did our Mr. Ryan alone defeat a group of evil bastards? “
Speaking of which, Flanner paused intentionally, glanced around the mercenaries, and found that dozens of mercenaries were attracted by what he said, and he suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction. Continue to say: “The answer is actually very simple, our Mr. Ryan, is a respected magician!”
“Wow ~” Everyone was loud when he heard Flanner’s words.
Magician?
Young magician?
Can a one-to-six powerful magician?
In the countless legends of the Eslar continent, there will be a magician. If it is not the protagonist, then it is also the protagonist ’s most loyal friend, or the evil villain full of endless power in the story. In short, the magician is a group of nothing. Can’t, supernatural person. Since the young man in front of him is a mysterious magician, he can certainly remove the scars that have endangered Alfa for many years. What’s so strange?
“Wait!” Parker stopped the discussion loudly. He pointed to Ryan and said to Flanner: “You said he is a magician, so why doesn’t he have a magician’s badge on his chest?”
The onlooker mercenaries heard Pike’s words and found it very reasonable: “Yeah. Every magician has a badge on his chest that symbolizes his identity, just like the badge of a warrior that the burly mercenary just took out. This teenager I do n’t have it on my chest. “
Flanner smiled and said, “This gentleman’s observation is indeed very careful. It is worthy of being an experienced and excellent mercenary. But our Mr. Lane is a master apprentice. He came to Alfa this time to complete The teacher gave him the trial. Obviously, before our Mr. Ryan finished the trial, he was a magic apprentice. The magic apprentice does not need to wear the magician badge. “
Flanner paused and said: “Of course, Mr. Ryan ’s teacher is a very kind master, he does not care much about whether his disciples follow these etiquettes. If it is beneficial for Mr. Ryan to complete the trial, I think Ryan Mr. Wo n’t mind that going to the Magic Guild is a strength assessment. “
Through Flanner’s explanation, the onlooker mercenaries accepted the fact that Lane had cleared the scar and gradually dispersed.
Lucy recorded the approximate place where Ryan buried the scar, and was ready to send it to verify. If it can be confirmed, then 50 gold coins for the reward of the scar belong to Ryan.
Ryan pulled Flanner aside and asked, “What did you do just now? Promote this matter.”
Flanner said with a smile: “Aren’t you saying that you are looking for a group of partners to participate in the Royal Athletic Competition? I will give you a momentum like this, and your fame will pass through these mercenaries. It will be very convenient. “
Ryan scratched his head and said, “So don’t you have to be so fanatical?”
Flanner stretched out a finger and said, “Ryan, you haven’t been a merchant, and you don’t know the techniques commonly used by such merchants. For example, we acquired a batch of ordinary wind-type magic cores from the town of Takri in the west. Ship to Yegenas City for sale. If it is just selling magic nuclei, the competition will be fierce and the natural profit is not high enough. But we can improve the positioning of these wind magic nuclei in the hearts of others by creating momentum We can first hire an alchemist to make beautiful necklaces from these wind magic nuclei; then carry out large-scale publicity to let others know that we have purchased a batch of precious goods from distant places and vaguely say a little How precious are these necklaces, which have the characteristics of keeping women’s mood comfortable, slowing down aging, and arousing curiosity from others. Then, a grand auction will be held to publicly auction necklaces. In the bidding of everyone, the price of necklaces The higher it will be, the higher our income will be tens of times the original income. Moreover, as long as we conduct several such high-grade auctions, our Gas will open. Our name will become synonymous with quality, every piece of jewelry we sell will be sought after by someone else. This is the role of momentum. “
Ryan was dumbfounded. He had never heard of such a business method. In Thick Fog Town or Takri Town, the smartest businessman just shouted a high price, and then slowly lowered it in bargaining with customers. The price, until the price drops to the price that was originally intended to be sold, which is as deep as Flanner said. Ryan scratched his head again and said, “Can this necklace made of wind magic core really delay aging?”
Flanner smiled slightly and said, “It’s very simple. When we made it, we specially carved a magic circle on the necklace, so that the wearer could keep the head awake. And every lady who took the necklace for a high price , In the eyes of others envy, enjoy a pleasure called vanity. Happy mood and clear-headedness, is this not the best and simplest recipe to slow down aging and prolong life? “
Ryan felt that his head seemed to turn a little bit, and he scratched his head again, not knowing what to say. After holding back for a long time, a sentence came out: “Flanner, are you a qualified businessman, I don’t know. But I think it’s a pity that your eloquence is not a bard.”
A thin mist appeared in Flanner’s eyes. He sighed and said in a low voice: “If it wasn’t born in this family, maybe I would really be a bard wanderer.”
Ryan did not hear what Flannard said, and asked, “What are you talking about?”
Flanner smiled at Ryan and changed the subject and said, “Come on, Ryan. Are you going to see the Magic Guild?”
Ryan nodded and agreed with Flanner ’s words, saying, “Okay, let ’s go and see.”
Just out of the door of the Mercenary Guild, a doorman wearing the pride of the red and blue lion rushed towards Flaner, and saw Flanner quickly said aloud: “Master Flanner, the Chamber of Commerce has monitored, he Please see him immediately. “
Hearing this news, Flanner stunned and turned to say to Ryan: “Ryan, it seems I can’t accompany you to the Magic Guild.”
Lane did not want Flannard to delay Flanner too much time for his own affairs. He comforted Flanner and said, “Go busy, I will go alone.”
Flanner patted Ryan on the shoulder and walked into the carriage. The driver waved his whip and pulled it **** the horse’s buttocks. The horse snorted and ran.
Ryan watched Flanner’s carriage drive out of the long street before turning around and walking towards the Magic Guild. The magic guild of Alfa City was right next to the mercenary guild, and Ryan saw it when he came.
The Guild of Magic is a seven-story tower-shaped building, which seems to be the common shape of all magicians in Eslar. In fact, the magic guild of each city is a magician tower. Ryan heard Draene talk about this kind of architecture. He knew that the magician tower was very troublesome during the construction. He would use a lot of magicians to bless magic in the raw materials, and he would engrave all kinds of magic in the tower. Array to prevent unintentional guests. Every magician who is allowed to enter the magician’s tower will have a laboratory of his own, in which all kinds of strange magic experiments are carried out.
Ryan approached the Wizard’s Tower, gently pushed open the door, and walked into the Magic Guild.
Unlike the spacious mercenary hall, the space inside the magician tower is very small. On each side of the door stood a huge iron golem. Although the iron golem is rough in appearance and the proportion of the body is ridiculous, like two big fat dolls, Lane heard Draene said that this is the first line of defense of the magician tower. Under the master’s spell, the normally still iron golem will pounce on the malicious uninvited guest and tear the enemy into pieces!
Seeing someone come in, a man with grey hair and beard sitting there reading a book, an old man in a magician’s robe stretched out a lazy waist and said in a slow voice: “What are you doing here?”
Ryan did not dare to neglect, and no one knew whether the plain old man in front of him was a magician with strong strength. Even if the magic was set aside, the old man in front of him was old enough to be Ryan’s grandfather. Ryan said: “Hello, my name is Ryan, I’m here to do magic power evaluation.”
The old man looked at Ryan, and there was a happy expression on his face, saying: “This year, there are fewer and fewer magicians. Last month, I didn’t even come to a review here, it was really boring.” He stood He said, “Come with me.” After that, he led Ryan up the long staircase that surrounded the magician’s tower.
Ryan followed the old man to the second floor of the magician tower. As soon as I walked up, I heard a grumpy voice: “Damn, I failed again.”
The old man shouted towards the floor: “You guys, don’t make your boring experiment, come here soon. Someone has come to test the magical strength.” The voice did not fall, and a mass of pedestrian objects drifted away come. The old man said to the pedestrian: “Okay, let’s get back to its original shape, don’t frighten the child.”
“Got it.” The humanoid object murmured, and then an obscure mantra sounded. After the cast, the densely foggy humanoid object gradually solidified, a messy hair, wearing a piece of shabby, not washed for many days The old man in the magician’s robe appeared.
The old man who brought Ryan said: “Young man, my name is Vladimi, president of the Alfa City Magic Guild;” and then pointed to the old man who had just condensed the entity and said: “This guy is called Gillian, it is Ai Vice President of Erfa City Magic Guild. “
Gillian looked at Lane and couldn’t help shaking his head. He said: “He is too young. It is estimated that he can pass the magic apprentice test.”
Vladimir said: “Let’s talk nonsense, we will start testing now.” Then said to Ryan: “Young man, according to the Magic Guild’s” Magician Test Code “, I must first ask you what level of testing.”
Ryan thought for a while and said, “I have never done this kind of test, I don’t know what levels are available?”
Vladimir explained: “Our magic guild’s level classification is very simple, and all who follow the magician are magic apprentices, but in general, as long as a magic apprentice can skillfully cast the simplest magic three times in a row, such as Magic missiles are considered qualified. “
Ryan said in his heart: “This magic apprentice seems to be fine with me. With this magic missile, I can cast a dozen at a stretch.”
Vladimir saw that Ryan was distracted and said unhappy, “Young man, don’t distract you when I talk.”
Ryan felt very embarrassed and quickly apologized.
Vladimi reluctantly accepted Ryan’s apology, and continued: “After the magic apprentice is out of school, he will generally be promoted to an apprentice magician, followed by a junior magician, an intermediate magician, and a senior magician …”
Gillian rushed and said: “However, we can only evaluate the highest level of the intermediate magician …”
Before he finished, Vladimir reprimanded loudly, “Shut up, you guys, I know these things.”
Gillian was reprimanded by Vladimir, and he was very dissatisfied. He bumped Vladimir and said, “You were born one day earlier than me. Why do you keep a face up and teach me?”
Vladimir slapped Gillian’s head hard with his hand and said, “I was born one day earlier than you, and will always be your brother!” Then a large slang came out of his mouth, and Ryan couldn’t understand anything. , Estimated to be a local dialect.
The younger brother Gillian was almost unable to lift his head from his brother Vladimir’s lesson. He aggrieved with a finger and stood next to Lane, and motioned to his brother that there was an audience.
Brother Vladimir looked down at his brother’s finger and found Ryan, only to think of himself and his brother’s purpose here. He quickly stopped his hometown slang, which is comparable to a long magic spell, and smiled embarrassedly at Ryan, saying: “Well, where did we just say?”
Younger brother Gillian couldn’t help but intervene and said: “You just said the senior magician’s evaluation.”
Elder brother Vladimi opened his mouth and tried to scold his mouthy brother again, but forcibly refrained, his face flushed. He said to Ryan: “Well, that’s basically it, what level of testing are you going to conduct?”
