(Today's Chapter 1)
The 121st chapter "Tradition"
Du Wei didn't wait for him to finish and patted him on the shoulder: "Well, I was just casually asking. Alas, if I had known that he would go back, I would have asked him to bring some news back. A few days ago when I left, I forgot to tell the people in the castle. Since that's the case, then forget it. "
Alpha frowned, but he didn't stop him. He just looked at the cavalryman and then personally led Du Wei to the carriage. Only then did he ask someone to bring the horse over. Alpha didn't wear any armor, only a warrior's outfit. He didn't even carry a sword and rode at the front of the formation.

The Magician's Guild of the Roland Continent was located in the western part of the Imperial City. There was a huge circular square here, and the Magician's Guild was located in the middle of the square. Unlike what Du Wei had imagined, the Magician's Guild was famous for being mysterious and legendary, but it didn't have the slightest bit of "mysterious" aura.
The square was surrounded by a circle of tall white pillars. The pillars were diamond-shaped and formed a magic array that provided light all year round. Even in the middle of the night, the Magician's Guild was brightly lit. It was said that the light of this magic array had never been extinguished since it was established 960 years ago. The eternal flame of magic represented the prosperity of this world's magic civilization!
At the same time, due to the Magic Union's transcendent status, no one dared to provoke the Magic Union even during the times of war on the continent and the two times of turmoil that the empire experienced.
The carriage slowly drove to the edge of the square and slowed down. There were six different paths leading to the center of the square, where there was a tall hexagonal building.
From a bird's eye view, one can see that the circular square outside, coupled with the solemn theme of the magic union, just happens to form a very standard hexagram pattern.
Du Wei and his party entered from the lower left corner of the hexagonal pattern. In the square, Du Wei got off the carriage. Then, surrounded by Rollin's guards, Du Wei entered the pure white hexagonal building.
The entire Magician's Guild building only had three floors, but it was shaped like a patio. In the middle of the hexagonal pattern was a slightly smaller square. In the middle of the square was a tall tower. Its height was only slightly lower than the tallest white tower in the Imperial Palace. According to some records Du Wei had read, the height of the Magician's Guild tower was exactly 88 meters.
After getting off the carriage, there was a row of simple lounges next to the main building. Alpha looked at Du Wei and smiled: "Young Master, it should be very safe here. You can go in, I'll wait here."
Du Wei looked at Alpha: "You're not going in with me?"
Alpha smiled, but there was a trace of pride in his eyes: "Young Master, you forgot. I am a warrior!"
On the Roland Continent, although martial arts and magic have a long history, because of the prosperity of magic, martial arts have been suppressed by magic for thousands of years.
Under normal circumstances, a magician of the same rank would have more fighting power than a warrior of the same rank. For example, when Du Wei encountered an assassination attempt, a Krak Mage was able to summon an undead warrior and easily killed several of the assassins.
Magicians can use their magic to control the various magical and powerful elements of magic. This is something that a warrior can't compete with by relying on their own strength.
Although in theory, magicians are good at long-range attacks, while warriors are good at close combat. But from the perspective of the times, long-range attacks are powerful and represent the trend.
Although a magician's close combat is considered to be their biggest weakness. But the magic civilization can always find some way to make up for it. For example, the terrifying undead creatures that Wizard Clark could summon, such as the "Undead Warriors," could provide close protection by a mage's side. Other than that, they could also make use of defensive barriers and other magical means to make up for their own weaknesses.
With all these factors combined, a magician has a huge advantage over a warrior of the same rank.
If it wasn't for the fact that the training of a magician is too difficult, and the training of a warrior is much easier than that of a magician … Perhaps the status of a warrior would be even more awkward.
After all, an ordinary person, even if their talent is lacking, as long as they work hard, they can also practice martial arts. Even if they can't reach a high level, it is not impossible to become a low-level warrior.
But magic is different. If you don't have talent in magic, then you can't become a magician in your lifetime. You can't even step into the lowest level of a magician!
Therefore, although the power of a magician is great, but the difficulty of training has caused the bottleneck of this profession. This caused the number of magicians to be very small. This caused the warrior profession to be inferior, but fortunately, there are a lot of them and they can still faintly compete with magic.
But, after all, the status is different.
For example, the Magician's Guild can be compared with the Shrines and is considered one of the strongest forces on the continent.
In comparison, the so-called "Knight's Guild" is much weaker. The lax management and the suppression of the Magician's Guild makes the Knight's Guild's status in the capital far inferior to the Magician's Guild.
But, after all, warriors still have their own pride. As a senior warrior, Alpha strictly abided by the dignity and integrity of a senior warrior ….
On the Roland Continent, the senior warriors have a life creed that is almost like a motto. No one knows when it was passed down.
"Warriors are not allowed to join the Magician's Guild!"
Of course, with the decline of the warrior profession's status, there are not many people who abide by these creeds. Only some of the senior warriors continue to abide by these creeds. And some of the ordinary warriors, due to the pressure of survival, have long forgotten these prides …
For example, some mages would even recruit some warriors to be their retainers and guards in order to make up for their lack of close combat ability. If they had warriors to protect them during battle, it would also make up for their weakness in close combat.
And those warriors who are recruited as retainers by magicians are often looked down upon by senior warriors like Alpha.
Of course, Du Wei is aware of these allusions, so Alpha refused to enter. Du Wei understood his meaning and did not say much.
Then, Du Wei slightly tidied up his clothes and walked into the main hexagon building.
What made Du Wei slightly surprised was that the Magician's Guild's door actually … actually does not have a door!
The seemingly empty "door" does not have a door panel. When he walked over, he could faintly feel a wave of magic scanning his body. The magic scholar's badge on Du Wei's chest immediately reacted, and then the wave of magic faded away.
Du Wei knew that this was probably the Magician's Guild's magic array. Although there is no "door", but the Magician's Guild is not a place that just anyone can enter!
Only official magicians who wear their own magician's badge can enter the Magician's Guild's door!
Of course, there are very few magicians on the continent. There are only a few hundred official magicians on the continent. In such a large Magician's Guild, there must always be someone to do the ordinary work. Those noble magicians are mostly addicted to research, so they need someone to do the daily work. Because of this, there is a new group of magicians on the Roland Continent.
Apprentice magicians.
These people often have a little bit more magical talent than ordinary people, but they are unable to become magicians. Even becoming a first level magician is very difficult. These people are often recruited by magicians to be their assistants or apprentices. In fact, it is similar to a servant's job.
In addition to the apprentices that are privately recruited by magicians, there are also many official Sorcerers Guild branches on the continent that are officially recruited by the Magician's Guild. These people are responsible for a lot of the Magician's Guild's internal daily chores, such as the preservation of documents, the repair of magic materials, and so on.
Du Wei walked into the main building of the Magician's Guild and immediately felt that something was different.
Here, there were no building materials on the ceiling. The ceiling was a void, and some clouds were faintly floating above it. In the clouds, the sun, the moon, and the stars were all shining, forming a magnificent and strange scene — of course, this was also a scene created by magic.
The people who came and went were all wearing magician's robes.
Of course, there are differences in color.
Low level and intermediate magicians are wearing gray robes. High level magicians are wearing white robes. Most of them were wearing silver robes, and they were all magic apprentices.
When Du Wei walked into the hall, most of the people around him are apprentices wearing silver robes. Occasionally, he can see one or two magicians wearing gray robes. As for those wearing white robes, they are the senior members of the Magician's Guild. Naturally, they will not walk around in the hall.
Du Wei is wearing a black robe, which immediately attracted a lot of surprised gazes.
