"Oh, you finally remembered me." Fen walked down from the second floor, wearing a bright red evening dress. The fitting cut perfectly accentuated her exquisite figure. It was so hot that it stimulated the desires of men, and of course attracted the attention of all the men present.
Although he had heard that Guebrach Tripwood had a rare beauty by his side, he had never seen her before. But seeing her with their own eyes, that dazzling appearance only made people feel that the rumors could not describe her beauty.
As a young and promising man who grew up in a noble family, Shure Eon naturally cared more about the behavior of some nobles. He made an elaborate bow and said in a flowery voice, "Beautiful lady, it is an honor to meet you. I am Sir Shure Eon of St. Vitus. I wonder if I would have the honor of hearing your name. "
Fen glanced at Lin with the eyes of a victor, as if she was showing off. But Lin only responded with a twitch of his mouth, and his eyes drifted to the side. Fen, who was in a good mood, did not care about the big eye roll and said, "It is an honor to meet you, Sir Shure Eon. I am Fen, Fen Ni Tikal. The Lich that you speak of. "
Originally, he was hoping that the other party would stretch out her slender hand and let him take the opportunity of kissing her hand to get close to her. But when he heard the answer, Shure Eon's heart sank, and he showed an expression of collapse.
Fen did not feel offended by the collapse of the face in front of her. Instead, she felt a sense of joy that her trick had succeeded. She said, "Young man, your expression is not bad. But let's not let your teacher wait too long, so let's go. Please lead the way. "
Perhaps because he realized that his expression was too rude, Shure Eon forced himself to be calm and recovered his noble composure. He said, "Yes, both of you, please follow me."
After instructing the two apprentices to help him change into a neater robe, Lin was led out by Fen under the envious and fearful gazes of the people around him.
Because there was some distance from his residence to the central tower, Shure Eon came in a carriage. It was not an ordinary carriage, but the highest grade carriage used in Five Alliance City to welcome guests. In addition to all kinds of carvings and decorations, there were also peach-red velvet cushions and four steeds of the same height and color.
Such a high-class reception was not only to welcome a noble Archmage who might be a Lich, but also to express the importance of Lin Li, the former owner of the Tower of the Great Sage.
They couldn't help but take it seriously. That tower, which had once been despised by a group of magicians and even refused to enter, was too terrifying. If Tripwood had remained in the tower, he would have been a source of deep dread. But since they had left the Magic Tower, they were still wary, but what they wanted to know more was the knowledge in his head.
Expressing respect and bribing to make the tower owner hand over the tower willingly was one method. Coercion and coercion was another method. It all depended on which method the tower owner would take.
Now, Orange Eaton's President was using a soft knife to deal with Lin. It was a pity that this carriage, which was considered a luxury by the natives of the Mystic Land, was nothing to Lin. As long as the so-called car did not have a shock absorber, it was trash.
In the carriage, Fen sat quietly and looked out of the window. When she did not speak and remained quiet, she was no different from those noble ladies. Shor Eon sometimes forgot the Lich's identity and wanted to talk to her. But when she looked directly into those charming eyes that seemed to be able to discharge electricity, she could not say anything.
Lin sat restlessly, adjusting the gauze over his left eye from time to time. He really did not know how those one-eyed men got used to this kind of thing. It was stuffy and uncomfortable.
Just as the two men were restless, they arrived at the tallest landmark in Five Alliance City, the Central Tower.
Since most of the Association's business was divided among the other four towers, the Central Tower was relatively quiet. Except for the guards who stood quietly at the door, Lin could not see the young magicians who walked quickly with a large number of documents in their arms.
He went straight to the small conference room on the second floor. Orange Eaton was chatting with the owner of the North Tower. As soon as they saw someone come in, they immediately stood up to welcome them. Although their status and qualifications in the Association were the highest, being able to become the Lich was qualified to be valued and treated with respect.
At least, the immortality ritual that was passed down and kept in the Association were only fragments. Those who could successfully transform themselves with this little data were all talents. If the information did not come from the Association, then there must be another inheritance, which was even more worthy of attention.
To repeat, the Mystic Land Magicians of this era did not have the concept of order and evil. They only judged whether a person was good or evil based on their actions. Therefore, in their eyes, the Lich was not someone who must be eliminated or exiled.
However, Fen's appearance still surprised them a little. Considering the three people who came in, one was his student, so there was no mistake; one was the former owner of the Tower of the Great Sage, who he had dealt with several times, so he had a certain understanding of his identity and background; the last one should be the Lich who was invited.
No magician would insist on bringing a female companion to such a place, and no woman who had nothing but beauty could withstand the aura of two Great Magicians.
This did not mean that the magicians could release any kind of aura to suppress people. It was just that Orange Eaton and the other two old men who had been in high positions for a long time naturally had an intimidating aura, which made it difficult for ordinary people to get close to them.
Fen's behavior was still elegant in the face of the two old men's bright eyes, not showing the slightest bit of fear. It was just that the host did not invite her, so she could not sit down without permission. This did not mean that the former Devil Queen cared about the feelings of others or her image. It was just that there were too many seats in the small meeting room, and she did not know where to sit.
Seeing the two old men glaring at a beauty as if they were going to skin her alive, Lin coughed a few times and said, "Sir President, why don't we sit down and talk?"
"Of course, please."
The two parties sat down, and there was naturally a waiter who served tea. The information placed in front of the president and the owner of the North Tower was the application data that Fen filled in when she first came to Wulian City.
Generally speaking, this kind of review was just a process to confirm the rank of the applicant, whether they were an apprentice or a normal magician, and whether they had committed any serious crimes.
Of course, the so-called criminal record was limited to the local area due to the inconvenient information flow in the Maze World. It was quite easy for a magician from another place to commit murder and arson, and then run to a place where no one knew him and start a new life.
For some kingdoms and noble lands, the granting of household registration was quite serious. However, the Society of Sorcerers was not so particular. As long as the person was not a wanted criminal, almost no society would reject any magician from joining.
When the applicant's qualifications were above the level of a Supreme Magician, it would be personally confirmed by the owner of the North Tower. Some of the more famous people who were confirmed to have real strength after a simple test would be qualified to become a Supreme Magician in a new branch. If enough branches recognized the qualification of a Supreme Magician, then they would be called a saint.
If the applicant was not heard of, they would also go through a simple test, but usually the chances of not being able to become a Supreme Magician were higher. The Maze World focused on actual achievements, which were spread by rumors. Of course, if the applicant had not heard of it, of course, they would not know what amazing things the applicant had done. Most of the tests were to prevent some weak people from impersonating someone.
But what if the applicant was a Lich?
To be honest, the two old men present, or the higher-ups of the Sijia branch, had never seen a Lich before. Even if they looked at the entire Maze World, there were not many Lich who would stay in the open, let alone be seen by others. Under such circumstances, how could they determine the identity of a Lich? The two experienced Magicians could not think of a way.
"Well, let's start with the name." Orange Eaton was indeed the president, he knew how to take things one step at a time. He picked up the written application data and started reading from the beginning. "Fanny Tikal. Hmm, Tikal, a very rare surname. But where have I heard of it before? Is it a noble surname in the Maze World? "
"None of them." Fanny was not pretentious and said directly, "It's the Demon King Tikal from your history a thousand years ago, who was ended by a hero."
Generally speaking, when talking about ancestors, it was polite to talk about the good side. If the first greeting was, "Isn't your father the idiot who did a lot of bad things?", it would be no different from exposing someone's identity. Therefore, although the two old men thought of the Demon King Tikal from a thousand years ago, they tacitly avoided talking about it.
However, a certain beauty completely ignored the kindness of the two old men and exposed the scars. The two old men could only laugh dryly and say, "Yes, what a coincidence."
"No, no, no, it's not a coincidence. That's me. "
...
The two old men looked confused as they turned to look at Lin, who had not said a word. Their eyes seemed to be saying, "Is there something wrong with the woman you brought here? Should we bring her back and fix her?"
Considering that he had already discussed with Fanny, he did not intend to hide her origin at all. Therefore, when Lin saw the president's eyes, he said directly, "President, do you still remember that strange object, the golden skeleton?"
Without waiting for a reply, Lin continued, "I found a part of the skull in a secret compartment in the Tower of the Great Sage. On a whim, I collected the other parts of the golden skeleton. When I put them together, she came back to life. "He said it casually, implying that Fanny, who was listening by the side, only nodded. However, in the ears of the two old magicians, it was no different from a sudden clap of thunder.
After a long while, they still couldn't say a complete sentence. They just stared with wide eyes at the man who did not feel that he had made a grave mistake. Back then, the House of Kos accused the man in front of them of summoning demons and opening the Gates of the Abyss. However, what this man did was less serious than summoning demons.
