The first thing Nian Bing did when he saw so many high-level mages was to carefully hide his ice and fire magic, especially the aura of his fire magic. With so many high-level mages around, he would most likely be attacked mercilessly if he made any sudden movements, let alone escape. Hearing the fire sorcerer's words, she hurried forward and said respectfully, "Nian Bing greets the seniors."
The fire sorcerer who had spoken earlier seemed to be very straightforward. He laughed and said, "Don't call me senior. It's said that there is no seniority in learning. The one who reaches the top is respected. At your age, I seem to have just entered the realm of intermediate magician. At that time, it was already very fast. Welcome to our Ice Moon Empire's Magician's Guild."
At this time, the three great magicians had retreated to the side because of their low status. In front of a sorcerer, a great magician could only be subservient.
The other sorcerer had a golden ice flower insignia on his chest. Obviously, he was an ice sorcerer. He was not as easy to talk to as the fire sorcerer. He snorted coldly and exuded a gloomy aura.
Li Hua walked to the two sorcerers and turned to Nianbing. "According to the rules of the Guild, when a new member joins the Guild, there must be at least one elder in the realm of a sorcerer to hold the ceremony. If the new member is only an intermediate magician or below, then a great magician can also hold the ceremony. Your strength has reached the realm of a great magician, so today I invited the other two elders of the Guild to hold the ceremony for you. Unfortunately, the president is out on business. Otherwise, it would be more appropriate for him to hold the ceremony for you. Please come forward and stand in the center of the hexagram. "Li Hua pointed to the ground.
Nian Bing agreed and walked to the center of the three sorcerers. Standing in the center of the hexagram, Li Hua's face revealed a faint smile. "I, Li Hua, am a water sorcerer. As an elder of the Ice Moon Empire's Guild of Magicians, I hold this ceremony. Great Elemental God, under your witness, Nian Bing will become a great magician of the Guild. She will take pride in the honor and glory of the Guild and dedicate her life to the Guild. Nian Bing, let me ask you, are you willing to sacrifice everything for the Guild? "
"I'm willing." Nian Bing replied without the slightest hesitation. What 'everything' referred to was too vague, but the binding force was extremely strong. Wasn't joining the Magician's Guild equivalent to entering a huge cage? Although Nian Bing agreed verbally, she added two more words in her heart. When put together, it was — — I'm not willing, my ass.
Li Hua smiled and nodded to a Grand Magician. The Grand Magician's magic robe was very strange. It was silver. He stepped forward and murmured a few words. A silver light flashed and a light blue magic robe appeared in his hand. That was the magic robe that symbolized the identity of an Ice Magician. Although Ice and Water were of the same origin, the color of the Ice Magician's magic robe was lighter than that of the Water Magician's. Seeing the appearance of the magic robe, Nian Bing thought to herself, Is this the so-called space magic? In the world of magic, the four elements of water, fire, earth, and wind were the foundation, and then special magic such as ice and thunder were derived. Space magic, light magic, and dark magic were very rare. Usually, the most common magic on the continent was space magic. As for light and dark magic, according to legend, these two magic seemed to have been lost. However, when she was young, Rongtian once told Nian Bing that these two magic were actually not lost, but only some people with special bodies could master them. In terms of energy, light and dark magic were not much stronger than other magic, but they had their own special characteristics and were much more difficult to deal with. If she had the chance in the future, she would have to consult the Grand Magician of the Space Magician. It would be great if she could also use space magic. It was said that this kind of Space Magician could use a special space magic to store their own things, and it was very convenient to take them. If she could use that kind of magic, she would not have to carry so many things with her. She could even buy more spices to keep with her.
Of course, Li Hua did not know that Nian Bing was thinking about using space magic to store spices. He took the magic robe from the Space Magician and walked to Nian Bing. He said, "The Elemental God will bless you, child. Wear this magic robe and you will become a member of the Union. We are all your family and friends."
Looking at Li Hua's sincere eyes, Nian Bing could not help but feel a little confused. However, she was not confused for too long. She took the magic robe from Li Hua and put it on herself. The size was just right. Obviously, it was made according to her figure. The light blue magic robe felt very good to the touch. It was obviously made of special materials. The whole magic robe exuded a faint magic aura. Although it was not strong, it was good for her to absorb ice elements. There was a moon symbol embroidered with silver silk on the inside of the robe. At the bottom of the moon was a white ice flower. This was the symbol of the Ice Moon Empire.
Looking at the three circles of silver around the ice flower on her chest, Nian Bing secretly called out in her heart. Dad, mom, do you see? Your son is now a Grand Magician, a dual-element Grand Magician! Just you wait. It won't be too long. I will definitely go to the Ice God Tower again.
Li Hua looked at Nian Bing wearing the magic robe of an Ice Grand Magician and could not help but praise her in her heart. Nian Bing, who was already handsome, looked even more handsome in the luxurious magic robe. Her eyes were bright and she gave people a good impression. She smiled and said, "Sure enough, people need clothes. Put on the magic robe. You are a real Ice Moon Empire magician."
Nian Bing respectfully saluted the three sorcerers. "Thank you for your help, sorcerers."
Li Hua nodded to the Space Magician again. With a flash of silver light, a delicate magic staff and a silver badge appeared. The badge also had the symbol of the Ice Moon Empire on it. In the center of the silver ice flower was a transparent gem, which emitted faint magical waves. The magic staff was only a foot long. The body of the staff was blue, and at the head of the staff was a milky white gem, which emitted a faint frosty mist. Although it was far inferior to the Ice Goddess Stone, it was still a rare gem.
Li Hua first handed the hexagonal badge to Nian Bing. "This is the symbol of our Ice Moon Empire magicians. With your status as an Ice Grand Magician, you are equivalent to a Chiliarch in the army. With this badge, you can dispatch any soldier under a thousand to fight for you in any military camp in the nine major cities of the Ice Moon Empire. At the same time, with this badge, you can also receive a salary from any branch of the Union. The salary varies according to your rank. With your current rank, you can receive 20 purple gold coins per month. The badge has a special mark left behind by our Union, so it cannot be faked. Therefore, you must keep it well. If you lose it, immediately report it to the headquarters. We will cancel the effect of this badge according to the mark on the badge. "
20 purple gold coins, that was 200 gold coins! In addition to the power that the badge brought, it was definitely a treasure! It seemed that under the lifelong obligation, there was also lifelong power. No wonder father had said that joining the Magician's Union was the dream of ordinary magicians. With this badge, it would be much more convenient for her to travel the continent in the future. After thanking Li Hua, she carefully put the badge into her bosom.
At this time, Li Hua took the magic staff and said with a smile, "This magic staff is called Icicle. Originally, with your cultivation, the union should not have given you such a precious magic staff. However, I have discussed with the president. The president saw that you are the youngest Archmage and have a bright future, so he gave you this magic staff in advance, which is supposed to be a reward for Ice Magicians of the Sorcerer level. With it, you can increase the tempo of your incantation by a third. At the same time, when you condense your magic power, the ice element will be more obedient to your command. You have to keep it well, this is already a magic item of the gold tier. "
"Gold class? Magician Li Hua, what is the meaning of gold class? "Nian Bing asked the doubts in her heart. She did not know how the grades of magic items were differentiated.
Li Hua smiled slightly and said, "It seems that although you have been in contact with magic for a long time, you do not really understand magic. Among all the magic items, gold class is already quite high. Magic items are divided into six classes: Divine class, Sub-divine class, Dark Gold class, Gold class, Silver class, and Bronze class. Although gold class is only the fourth class, you must know that a single gold staff is worth more than 1,000 purple gold coins on the market. Dark gold class magic items are extremely rare. The highest grade, Divine class and Sub-divine class, are very difficult to obtain. Even the President only has a Sub-divine class staff. As for the real Divine class, it is said that only the Ice Goddess Priestess of the Ice God Tower has one, but I do not know what it is exactly. It does not seem to be a staff. "
Nian Bing looked at the Icicle Staff in her hand and thought, "If that is the case, then what is the level of my Morning Dew Dagger when used as a staff?" She was afraid that it would be at least a Dark Gold class treasure. After all, the Stone of the Ice Goddess was obviously much stronger than the Icicle Stone on the staff.
"Thank you, Magic Shooters and President, for your cultivation. I will work hard to practice and strive to become a more powerful magician as soon as possible." Nian Bing's heart had already flown to the library of the Magic Guild. Now that he had obtained all that he needed, all he had to do was memorize the ice magic incantations that he needed.
Li Hua smiled slightly and said, "I have given you what you should, and the ceremony has been completed. Now, I will tell you some of the rules of the Magic Guild, so that you will not make mistakes in the future. You must remember the most important ones. First of all, as a magician of the Ice Moon Empire's Magic Guild, you must unconditionally obey the orders of the Magic Guild at all times. Once the Magic Guild is in danger, you will become a member of the Magic Legion. As for your specific position, it depends on your magic level at that time. This is something that you must abide by. Otherwise, not only will your magic level be revoked, but you will also be severely punished by the Magic Guild. "
Nian Bing nodded. Since she had obtained so many rights, it was inevitable that she would have obligations.
Li Hua continued, "Second, when the Ice Moon Empire is in danger, as the Magic Guild of the Ice Moon Empire, we have the obligation to help the Ice Moon Empire fight against foreign enemies. Under such circumstances, you must unconditionally accept conscription and become a magician of the Magic Legion of the Empire. Of course, under such circumstances, the Empire will pay you extra, and the amount will be very high. If you make a contribution, you will also be rewarded."
After hearing this, Nian Bing was very confused. Since it was the Magic Guild of the Ice Moon Empire, shouldn't the interests of the Empire be its first priority? Why was it that in the rules, the first rule was to unconditionally obey the orders of the Magic Union? Understanding it from this point of view, it felt very strange. Could it be that the Magic Union would go against the Empire when their own interests were threatened?
Li Hua continued, "Third, after becoming a magician of the Magic Guild, if the Magic Guild needs you to hold any position, you must obey and obey the orders of the Magic Guild. Of course, in your current situation, the Magic Guild can't arrange any position for you. The most important thing for you now is to work hard to improve your magic cultivation and strive to reach the realm of Magic Shooter as soon as possible. Once you become a Magic Shooter, you will have a great say in the Magic Guild, and will be awarded the honor of being an elder of the Magic Guild. "
Nian Bing gathered her thoughts and nodded. She said, "I will definitely obey the orders of the Magic Guild. Is there anything else? "
Li Hua said indifferently, "These three rules are the most important. As for the other small rules, they don't matter. When you reach the realm of Magic Shooter, the Magic Guild will naturally give you more rights. Of course, you will also know more about the affairs of the Magic Guild. Now it seems that on the whole continent, the Five Great Empires have their own Magic Guilds. Because of the existence of the Ice God Tower, our Ice Moon Empire has always been regarded as the most powerful one among the Five Great Empires. However, they don't know that our Magic Guild and the symbol of the Empire, the Ice God Tower, are not in the same field of magicians. Although there are hundreds of ice magicians in the Ice God Tower, they only obey the orders of the priests of the Ice Moon Empire. If we don't count them, among the Five Great Empires, the Magic Guild of the Ice Moon Empire is the weakest. In the Magic Guild, there is a total of one magician, eight elders of the Magic Shooter level, and a total of 39 great magicians including you. The rest of the low-level magicians are just over a thousand. Our overall strength is much weaker than that of the Ice God Tower. The other Four Great Empires have at least two magicians, especially the Huarong Empire, which has three fire magicians. It is said that the oldest fire magician, Prince Rong of the Huarong Empire, is extremely close to the level of a Divine Magician. Therefore, in order to prevent our Ice Moon Empire's Magic Guild from falling, you must work harder in your cultivation. The more powerful you are, the more advantageous it is for the Magic Guild, and even for the Empire. Do you understand? "
When Nian Bing heard the name Prince Rong, the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch. How could he not know that the Huarong Empire's Magic Guild was very powerful? That was his hometown! Back then, if Prince Rong hadn't sent a large number of magicians to hunt them down, he and his father wouldn't have had to flee the entire continent like stray dogs. In the end, his father made the decision to go to the Ice God Tower to rescue his mother, but his father was also trapped. The Huarong Empire, Prince Rong, these were the deepest pain in Nian Bing's heart.
"Nian Bing, what are you thinking? Are you okay? "Li Hua called out with some dissatisfaction.
Nian Bing came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Ah! I'm sorry, I was thinking that if the Ice Moon Empire's Magic Guild could one day reach the level of the Huarong Empire's Magic Guild, I'm afraid our status in the Ice Moon Empire would be no worse than that of the Ice God Tower. "
Li Hua sighed and said, "This is just a wish. It's easier said than done. It takes a lot of time to cultivate an outstanding magician, and the number of true geniuses is pitifully small. Now, the number of people who are willing to cultivate magic is getting fewer and fewer. Compared to magic, martial arts are much easier to learn. Aside from the large scale destruction and long range attacks, martial arts are not inferior to magic in any way. I really wonder if this ancient cultivation method of magic will still exist on the continent after a few hundred years. "
The Ice Sorcerer at the side frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Li Hua, you talk too much. Since the ceremony is over, let's end it here."
Li Hua came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Oh, right, I'm really old and muddle-headed. Nian Bing, the ceremony is completely over. The two of you can go meditate. Nian Bing, I heard from Shi Jiu and Ling 'er that you want to learn more ice magic spells. Come with me, I'll take you to the library of the union. There are things you need there. "
Hearing this, Nian Bing couldn't help but be overjoyed. This was what he wanted most! He hurriedly agreed and followed Li Hua out of the hall where the ceremony was held. When he passed by the Ice Sorcerer, a weak voice suddenly sounded in his ear, "Boy, when everything is over, come to my room to find me. I live in the westernmost room of the union's dormitory. Remember, you must come, understand?"
Nian Bing's heart moved. At this time, of course, he couldn't answer. He just silently nodded behind Li Hua and followed him out. It was the first time he had seen the Ice Sorcerer. Why did he want to see him alone? Was there a purpose? Forget it. Now that he was a member of the Ice Moon Empire's Magician's Union, he believed that the Ice Sorcerer wouldn't dare to mess around. First, he would go to the library to learn something useful to him.
Under the guidance of Li Hua, Nian Bing followed him around the tall building where the ceremony hall was located. They walked to the back of the Magician's Union. It was really big, and the back was a different world. One after another, tall buildings were closely connected. Although the buildings looked very grand, for some reason, they gave people a feeling of oppression.
As they walked, Li Hua said to Nian Bing, "I'll arrange a dormitory for you later. You can live here. This is a right that only magicians above the level of Great Magician have. "
Nian Bing's heart sank and said, "Sorcerer Li Hua, can I still go outside?"
Li Hua smiled and said, "Of course you can. In the Union, unless there is a special order, no one will restrict your freedom. You can go in and out freely, and you can also travel outside. The room I'm referring to is a permanent room arranged for you. You can live here whenever you come back. However, I suggest that you should practice more and improve your magic power as soon as possible. I'm looking forward to seeing when you can break through the realm of Sorcerer. Come, we've arrived at the library. "He led Nian Bing into a small building that looked inconspicuous.
The small building was very clean. From the outside, it seemed that there were four floors. However, each floor was not very high, so it didn't look conspicuous from the outside. Li Hua smiled and said, "This is the place. This library has a total of four floors. Many of the materials here are already unique on the continent. Therefore, you can read here, but you can't take any materials away, especially the third and fourth floors. Oh, right, you can't enter the fourth floor. Let me give you an introduction. In the library, according to the magician's level, the materials stored here are different on each floor. For example, the first floor is more suitable for beginner and intermediate magicians. The second floor is suitable for senior magicians and Great magicians. The third floor requires the strength of a Sorcerer to enter. As for the highest floor, although it is the smallest, it records many lost high-level magic. Only those who have reached the realm of Archmage can enter and read it. At the same time, they also need the approval of the President. Although the President has never seen you, he has a very deep impression of you. He specifically told me that because your control of magic is close to the realm of Sorcerer, you can go to the third floor to read magic books. That way, you can learn more things. Even if you go out to practice in the future, your strength won't be affected by the lack of spells. Well, you can read here by yourself. After a while, the President will be back. At that time, he should want to talk to you. If there is anything you don't understand from reading here, you can also ask me or the previous Ice Sorcerer, Warren. His level of magic is more profound than mine. He is the fourth elder of the Union. "
Nian Bing looked at the rows of bookshelves on both sides. She couldn't help but feel an impulse. For a magician, this was definitely a treasure trove. The books here were of course not as simple as magic spells. Just the records of magic and the notes left by past magicians were precious enough. "Teacher Li Hua, thank you so much. Can I call you that?"
Li Hua smiled and said, "Of course you can. Watching you young people gradually grow up, I really feel that I am getting older and older. Now, I only hope that when I die, I can see our Ice Moon Empire's Magician's Union become even more powerful. And all of this depends on you young people. If you have the chance, you can interact more with Ling 'er. She's the same as you, a Great Ice Magician. Although she's a bit weaker than you in terms of magic power and control, she's very smart. She often has her own unique views on magic. If you can interact more often, it'll be a good thing for anyone. "
Nian Bing nodded and said, "I know. Thank you, Teacher Li Hua. "
Li Hua sighed and said, "You know that the city has been sealed these few days, but I'm afraid you don't know the reason. I can see that you are an honest and good child. When the President comes back, he will interrogate you. You just need to answer truthfully. "
Nian Bing's heart skipped a beat. He asked, "What's going on, Master Lizhi? I am really curious. Why would the city be sealed? This shouldn't be good for Ice Snow City. Just the fact that the merchants who came from afar can't enter the city is a big problem. "
Li Hua sighed and said, "That can't be helped. Who told him to have so much power?"
Nian Bing asked, "Then what happened? Can you tell me?"
Li Hua glanced at Nian Bing and said, "Well, it's not a big secret anyway. A few days ago, the city was sealed because a big figure came to Ice Snow City. She came to investigate the whereabouts of an item. That item is said to be very precious. It is a magic item. I'm afraid it is close to the level of a Divine Weapon. I heard from the President that it is called something like the Stone of Ice Snow Goddess. "
Even if Nian Bing's mind was stable, when she suddenly heard the words "Stone of Ice Snow Goddess", she couldn't help but be shocked. Her expression changed greatly. Fortunately, at this time, he was behind Li Hua. Li Hua couldn't see his expression.
Nian Bing's heart beat obviously faster. She asked tentatively, "Stone of Ice Snow Goddess? Then the person who came should be from the Ice God Tower. That stone must be something from the Ice God Tower, right? "
Li Hua turned around and looked at Nianbing. At this time, Nian Bing had regained her composure. From her face, other than pretending to be surprised, nothing could be seen. "Yes, it is something from the Ice God Tower. The reason why it is precious is because the person who came this time is the symbol of our Ice Moon Empire, the State Preceptor, the Ice Goddess Priestess."
Nian Bing was shocked. When he was ten years old, he had seen the Ice Goddess Priestess once. He remembered very clearly that with the strength of a Fire Magic Shooter, his father was like a child in front of the Ice Goddess Priestess. He didn't have the slightest ability to resist. If it wasn't for his mother risking her life to save him, his father would have died in the first attack of the Ice Goddess Priestess. At this time, when he heard the name that he hated the most in his heart, his heart trembled. He finally understood that the martial law in Ice Snow City was because of him. However, how did the Ice Goddess Priestess find out that the Stone of Ice Snow was in Ice Snow City? Could it be that when he used the Morning Dew Dagger, he released the aura of the Stone of Ice Snow Goddess and lured her in? Yes, it must be like that.
After figuring this out, Nian Bing's back couldn't help but be soaked in sweat. If he had accidentally used the Morning Dew Dagger during the three days of lockdown, he was afraid that he would have fallen into the hands of the Ice Goddess Priestess by now. It seemed that he still needed to keep a low profile! Before he mastered magic, he definitely couldn't let that woman discover his existence.
Li Hua looked at Nian Bing, who was lost in thought, and smiled. "Everything is already in the past. You don't have to think too much about it. I think that with the strength of the Ice Goddess Priestess, as long as that thing really does exist, it wouldn't be difficult to take it back. Alright, you stay here and read the book while waiting for the President. I'll go back first. "Nianbing, you have to remember that as a mage, you have to meditate all the time in order to better improve your strength. I've already activated the restrictions on the first three floors of the library. Don't ever try to enter the fourth floor. Otherwise, the magic traps there can easily take your life. "
After Li Hua left, Nian Bing was the only one left in the huge library. Nian Bing wasn't in a hurry to find what he needed. He stood in place and pondered, trying to clear his mind. The appearance of the Ice Goddess Priestess had thrown his mind into chaos. He only wanted to do one thing now, and that was to leave Ice City immediately. Since the Ice Goddess Priestess had already noticed this place, who knew when she would come again. When that time came, would he still be so lucky?
Nian Bing wasn't afraid. He wasn't afraid of the Ice Goddess Priestess. Even if he had to fight the Ice Goddess Priestess head-on, he would still dare to make a move against her. However, he was a rational person. He knew that if he did that, he would only sacrifice himself in vain. Therefore, he told himself that he had to be calm. Only by being rational could he achieve his dreams. Leave this place? It seemed that this was his best choice. However, the Zheng Yang Saber hadn't been completed yet. He couldn't leave yet. One month. There was still one month left. He hoped that nothing would happen in this one month.
At this moment, Nian Bing had already decided what he would do for the next month. He carefully kept the Morning Dew Dagger. He had decided that before he left Ice City, he would never use this dagger again. At the same time, it was also the Sigh of the Ice Goddess.
After thinking through all this, Nian Bing's mood improved a lot. Since the lockdown had ended, it meant that the Ice Goddess Priestess had left. As long as he was careful, it wouldn't be difficult to deal with this one month. Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared on his face. On the first floor, he started to look for what he needed.
When Nian Bing started to learn magic, he was already wandering on the mainland with his father. Although his father's knowledge was profound, he was still young at that time. Other than some important things, he couldn't remember much. He knew that what he needed most now was theoretical knowledge. Only with a good foundation could he learn better and become stronger faster. Therefore, he didn't rush to the third floor. Instead, he started from the first floor. First, he picked up a book called "Detailed Explanation of Magic Theory."
