When the thin magic wall appeared, both Rob and Raúl were startled.
"Huh?" Archmage, Your Honor was slightly surprised. "Looks like you have a lot of good stuff on you."
On the other hand, when the apprentice magician saw the thin magic wall, his face turned pale and sweat poured down like rain. The arrogance in his eyes was long gone, leaving only deep fear.
Compared to Maria, Raúl was the one who knew the ropes. Only he, as a magician himself, knew how terrifying what happened in that short second.
What kind of magic device was that stick?! How could it instantly cast a third grade spell?!
Raúl was drenched in cold sweat. In that short moment, Rob only waved the worn-out stick in his hand, and a wind blade went straight for the apprentice magician's neck. Raúl had no time to react. In such a short time, he couldn't chant any spells, and it was also impossible for him to dodge. In terms of physical fitness, magicians were not as good as other professions. Even Maria couldn't dodge the wind blade, let alone Raúl. At the critical moment, it was the magic device that saved his life.
Even the female assassin didn't know that the necklace around the apprentice magician's neck was actually a defensive magic device.
Moreover, it was not an ordinary magic device. When he bought this necklace, it cost Raúl almost 2000 gold coins. He had to scrounge for a long time to save up the money.
Even so, the apprentice magician still felt that it was worth it, and it was this priceless necklace that saved his life again.
"Azure Guard?" The future Supreme Magician raised his eyebrows. "Oh, this is one of the most cost-effective fourth grade defensive spells. Unfortunately, it's too demanding on the caster. Nowadays, magicians prefer to use magic shields, and high-level magicians prefer elemental armor. Tsk tsk, this necklace of yours is not bad. You must have spent a lot of money on it."
Raul's expression changed drastically. There were many Magicians who could recognize the Azure Guard, but not many were able to do so so quickly. Furthermore, the Magician was able to identify the pros and cons of the spell with just a few words. Seeing the Magician ask the question that Maria hadn't been able to ask in time, the Magician's trembling voice trembled.
"You, who are you?"
"… …"
"It's fine if others ask, but didn't I just show you my staff?" The future Supreme Magician Your Honor was speechless. His own staff was a bit lousy, but it shouldn't be this lousy.
The apprentice magician was in tears. Brother, if you didn't say anything, who would know that the damn thing in your hand was a staff? Wait, did you just say that it was a staff? Raúl was shocked. Didn't that mean that the guy in front of him was also a magician? How was that possible? But he clearly didn't chant the wind blade just now, and it was instant cast. Even a high-level magician would find it difficult to do these two things. How old was this guy? It couldn't be, right? His eyes must be playing tricks on him.
However, as if to refute his naive thoughts, Rob casually released two more third grade spells. One of them was the relatively common fireball spell, and the other was an offensive spell that the apprentice magician had never seen before. Both were third grade spells, and without exception, they were both instant cast without chant.
This time, Raúl was really shocked. As the saying goes, if you don't see, you won't know, but once you see, you will be shocked. They were both magicians, and he was obviously much older than his opponent, but the gap between them was not something that could be made up for by age. The young man's attainments in magic had already reached the point that the apprentice magician could not understand.
Fortunately, the most powerful spell that the young man could release was only at the third grade. If it was only at this level, it would not be able to break through the fourth grade defensive spell, Azure Guard.
Sure enough, after two fruitless attempts, Luo Bu did not continue to attack, and temporarily put away that terrifyingly ugly magic staff.
Raúl also heaved a sigh of relief. Azure Guard could last for a long time. Once this thin wall was activated, as long as the caster was willing, it could last for at least a week. Therefore, he was not worried that the young man would play a protracted battle with him.
With the protection of the magic device, the apprentice magician finally regained some of his vitality, but his complexion was much worse than before. Perhaps it was because he had seen the cruel reality, his eyes were filled with shock and doubt. "Are you someone sent by the Joel family?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Raúl actually regretted it. Some things in the dark were destined not to be known by others, but after witnessing the unscientific strength of the Archmage, he could not help but ask that question. Now, the apprentice magician could only hope that the young man did not take his question to heart, or that he did not understand the complicated relationship between the nobles.
If the person standing in front of him was just an ordinary civilian, after hearing the name of the Joel family, it was very likely that the Joel family and Raúl had a personal grudge.
Unfortunately, since young, Rob had been raised by the two old monsters, Steins and Demain, as the future guardian of the human race. Although he had been locked up in the Mage Tower, people with a discerning eye knew that this would not last forever. Sooner or later, he would have to leave the tower and leave the protection of Steins and Demain.
In order to become a qualified guardian, one must first understand the world that one had to protect. This world was made up of the majority, but ruled by the minority. Therefore, understanding the ruling class was a very important part of understanding the world.
Although Rob had never been interested in the matter of the guardian of the human race, he still spent a few days going through the stacks of information that Demain had picked out for him. It couldn't be helped. Who asked the future supreme magus, Your Honor, to have such a lack of entertainment? There were too many secrets among the nobles. It was not a bad idea to use it as a novel.
For example, the enmity between the Joel family and the Matthews family was rather strange. It was said that a few hundred years ago, the young lady of the Joel family married into the Matthews family and was always treated badly by her mother-in-law. If it was a girl from a small family who married into a rich family, she might have tolerated it. However, that was the time when the Joel family was at its peak. There were three Duke's and two Earls'. In terms of power, they were even stronger than the Matthews family. The young lady of the Joel family was also spoiled by everyone. She was born with a golden spoon in her mouth. She had never suffered such humiliation in her life.
So, in a fit of rage, she raped her six brothers-in-law. Please note that the 'rape' mentioned here was true, 100% natural rape without any preservatives. This ferocious girl commanded the two rank 7 guards she brought from her maiden family to tie up her brothers-in-law in her room, and then cruelly raped them.
As the process was too humiliating, some of the victims even developed feelings of attachment to the perpetrators. Some even lost all hope in the opposite sex and turned gay.
But in the end, the young lady got what she wanted. She got her revenge. After all, not only did the Matthews family lose face, the old lady's sons also had mental problems. In the end, the old lady was so angry that she passed away a few years later. However, the people involved didn't end up well either. With such a thing happening, the husband and wife definitely couldn't live together anymore. However, the Matthews family behaved in a gentlemanly manner and sent people to escort the young lady home.
However, at this time, something strange happened. Not long after a group of people left the territory, they disappeared along with their horses.
The Joel family was furious when they heard the news. Their first reaction was to suspect that the Matthews family did this to prevent their dirty linen from spreading. The Matthews family insisted that it had nothing to do with them. They even suspected that the Joel family had orchestrated the whole thing.
