Faced with Leard's mage etiquette, Chen Rui bowed, immediately showing the true colors of a layman. Rolla, on the other hand, tilted her head slightly and returned the bow. However, this kind of reciprocation wasn't for someone of the same generation, but for someone of the younger generation. Liard was stunned.
Before the Saint-level Mage could react, Chen Rui had already said, "I'm sorry, we still have important matters to attend to and can't stay here for long. Let's visit Sir Leard next time."
Judging from the expression of the female shop assistant at the side, it was as if ten thousand divine beasts were roaring in her heart — this man and woman actually don't know what's good for them and rejected Sir Leard's invitation!
Leard frowned and glanced at the two who appeared to be calm, as if they really didn't care about his invitation. He thought for a moment and asked, "You two should be from out of town, right? Pardon me for asking, where are you going?"
"We're going to Emerald Square." The specific meeting place that Proyo had set was the Sleeping Rose VIP Posthouse in the city. Chen Rui had already heard that the posthouse was around Emerald Square when he entered the city, so this answer was not entirely perfunctory.
"Since you two have important matters to attend to, I won't hold you back … It just so happens that I'm going in that direction, too. Why don't we go the same way? There are still a few things about 'Cloud Chains' that I don't quite understand just now.
Chen Rui thought about it and agreed. Since her man had said so, Mrs. Rolla naturally had no objections.
The three of them walked toward Emerald Square together. Mages were too common in this City of Mages. Leard was usually inconspicuous, and his mage robe was also very inconspicuous. Apart from some higher-ups and familiar magic shop staff, very few people knew him. The three of them did not attract any special attention along the way.
Leard asked for many questions along the way, not only about 'Cloud Chains' but also the problems he encountered in the field of magic arrays. Although the first two questions gave Rolla a little inspiration, the latter questions were too simple for the fairy dragon. She no longer had the patience to answer them. She immediately blinked at her man and looked around, continuing to look for inspiration.
Helpless, Chen Rui could only take over his teacher's pointer and answer for him. This answer shocked Leard once again. The problem that had troubled him for more than ten years had been easily solved. He had originally thought that the woman was a master of magic arrays, but he did not expect that the standard of magic arrays displayed by this "Arthur" was not inferior to that woman at all. At the very least, it far surpassed his own!
Leard then asked a few more questions about magic, which Chen Rui naturally could not answer. Thinking about the inappropriate etiquette from before, Leard was even more certain of his guess — "Arthur" was proficient in magic arrays, and that "Rolla" should be a magician, and her knowledge of magic arrays was probably taught by her husband. "Rolla" had concealed her strength. The reason why she had returned the greeting was because Leard himself did not reveal his Saint-rank aura, and "Rolla" thought that her strength was a notch higher than his.
This Saint-rank magician's imagination was very rich, and there were a few coincidences in his conjectures. Unfortunately, what he did not know was that the most crucial parts were all wrong.
In the crowd, two men and one woman continued walking forward. Rolla was looking around, while Leard kept talking to Chen Rui. "Next time we visit" was very likely a polite remark. Although magic arrays were only an auxiliary subject, and Leard's major was magic, it was rare to meet such a master of magic arrays. Naturally, he had to make the best use of his time to consult him on some questions.
As they walked, there was a sudden commotion in front of them. It seemed that someone was fighting.
Chen Rui and the other two walked forward to take a look. It was a group of people besieging a young man. The man was a magician, and he was releasing two magic shields to protect himself and the two girls behind him. One of the girls was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the other was only about ten years old.
The ones besieging the young man were a few close combat experts with longswords in their hands. There were also two magicians behind them, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
It was obvious that the man could not hold on any longer. It was only a matter of time before the magic shield collapsed.
"Isn't that Old Romon's Caldila? How did he offend those guys so soon after returning from the Starlight Academy? "
"You still don't know? It's Visvo from the Mogoth family who took a fancy to his fiancée Tess and Tess's sister, Chilli. He plotted to make Tess's father, the poor little clerk Paabo, fall into a huge gambling debt. In the end, he went bankrupt and committed suicide. Visvo wanted to kidnap Tess and her sister in the name of debt collection, and coincidentally, Caldila came back from his vacation … "
"Visvo, that bastard, Chilli is still so young …"
"Lower your voice! Don't let those guys hear you! "
"…"
Chen Rui and Rolla's ears were sharp, and they already knew the whole story from the whispers around them. A cold glint flashed past Rolla's eyes. Just as she was about to make a move, she was pulled back by Chen Rui.
"Sir Leider, I've long heard of the great name of the City of Wizards, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Those two girls … I want to help them, but first, is the Mogoth family very powerful?"
"The Mogoth family is one of the two largest merchant families in Yagda, and they have some influence. I heard that Visvo also held some position in the city, but I don't remember the details …" Leider's expression was a little ugly. "These guys are too outrageous. There's no need for you two to deal with such a small matter. Let me handle it. Don't let these scum disturb our conversation."
As he spoke, Leider strode forward, and the people in front of him seemed to be repelled by an invisible force.
At this moment, Caldila's magic shield could no longer hold on, and collapsed with a bang. The young magician's face was pale, and he couldn't gather the mana in his body for a moment. He was about to be stabbed by the longsword of one of the fellows who rushed forward.
The longsword stopped abruptly and turned red, as if it had been heated. Scorch marks appeared on the hand of the wielder, and the longsword fell to the ground with a 'ding'. He cried out in pain, and the weapons of the people behind him were the same.
These fellows were shocked. Looking at Leider, the two magicians could tell that he was not an ordinary person, and didn't dare to make a move. They shouted, "Who are you, how dare you interfere in the Mogoth family's business!"
"Scram!" Leider couldn't be bothered to talk to these people. With a wave of his hand, the two magicians and the swordsmen were sent flying as if they had been punched by an invisible giant fist. The people nearby were not affected by the invisible force at all. This showed his exquisite control over magic. Naturally, it was nothing in the eyes of Rolla, but the two magicians were frightened.
"These two girls were specifically requested by Master Visvo, you damned thing, how dare you …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Leider waved his hand again, and five finger marks appeared on the man's face. His teeth fell to the ground, and he fainted. The rest of the people kept quiet out of fear, and no one dared to speak again. They only led their companions and fled.
The young man, Caldila, and the two girls quickly came forward to thank Leider. Leider shook his head, indicating that it was no big deal. Chen Rui praised, "Sir Leider's strength and righteousness are truly amazing. It is my honor to have met you, sir. However, I'm afraid that those people will not let this go easily. I'm afraid there will be no end of trouble for these three children."
Leider glanced at the three of them and frowned. Just as he was about to speak, Rolla, who was at the side, said, "There are some problems with the compression structure of that magic fist just now. Not only does it consume too much magic power, but when it is further compressed or increased in power, there is a chance that the elements will collapse, which can easily lead to an explosion and injure oneself."
Leider was shocked, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. This woman actually saw through the compression magic he was most proud of with a single glance, and even pointed out the flaws in the magic — the danger of that kind of explosion did exist, and even Leider himself was seriously injured once.
In fact, Miss Long Fairy only pointed out the key problem because Leider had coincidentally given her two small inspirations. It was a return of the favor. Otherwise, she would not have bothered to waste her breath.
Even so, it was already enough to shock Leider.
"Madam Rolla, may I ask how this problem can be solved?" Leider asked carefully. It was obvious that he had already placed the other party at the same level as himself, at the pinnacle of the Saint-level.
"Madam" Rolla blinked her eyes and casually said a few words. Although these words were simple, they hit the nail on the head, and it was like a wake-up call.
Leider listened to every word, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible. He could not help but stop in his tracks, and fell into contemplation.
Chen Rui did not disturb Leider. Holding Rolla's hand, he asked Caldila and the others to lead the way to the Emerald Square. Caldila had just received Leider's help, and he had also seen Leider's strength. Chen Rui was obviously friends with Leider, so he agreed after some thought.
After walking for a while, a large group of people suddenly rushed over from behind. Caldila and the two sisters looked terrified, but Chen Rui gave the three of them a confident smile, indicating that it was fine.
The large group of people had already caught up, and the pedestrians along the way made way for them. These people were wearing standard leather armor, and they were armed. There was also a group of people on horses, and they looked like a regular army. They quickly surrounded Chen Rui and the others.
"Sir Wesward, it's them!" The person who pointed out was one of the swordsmen who had been taught a lesson by Leider. After searching for a long time, he could not find Leider, so he simply pointed at Chen Rui and Rolla and said, "It's these two, they injured us!"
It turned out that the leader on the horse was the main culprit, Wesward. He had a sinister look on his face. After sizing up Chen Rui and Rolla for a while, and seeing that the two were calm, he secretly assessed them and asked tentatively, "Who are you people? How dare you obstruct the city guards from capturing fugitives!"
Tess shouted angrily, "We are not fugitives! It was you who caused my father to commit suicide, and I've already sold all my assets to pay you back the debt! "
Wesward took out a contract and shook it, and sneered, "The contract signed by your father clearly states that you have to pay back ten times the amount! If you don't pay it back now, you can only use other people to pay off the debt! "
Rolla snorted coldly, and the contract actually burned by itself. Wesward was so frightened that he hurriedly shook his hand, and the contract turned into ashes in the blink of an eye. Chen Rui cheered, "This … Sir Wesward, good fire magic!"
The crowd burst into laughter. Wesward did not expect such a thing to happen, and flew into a rage. He waved his hand and said, "Capture them all! If they dare to resist, except for the two girls, kill the rest! "
Caldila gripped his wand tightly, his face pale. He stood in front of the two sisters, and began to silently chant a spell.
"Why are there villains like you in every novel … Uh, in every map? It's obvious that you have the aura of being stepped on, so that the protagonist can stand up, "Chen Rui sighed, and said to Rolla," My dear heroine, it's up to you now. "
"Oh …" Laura replied with a smile. Apparently, she was quite happy with the title of "Dear Heroine".
