A night that went from pleasant surprises to frightening shocks left a deep impression on the people who stayed on that ship. Until many years later, it was still a topic that the people who stayed on the ship at that time kept mentioning and talking about. But on that night, everyone's mood was like taking three warm baths, up and down, and no one could keep calm.
To be honest, being surprised twice in a day, Baron Engels' sailors were going crazy.
The last time, it had nothing to do with them, and they were just surprised. They watched a mage chop up the Cockatrice Dragon Bandits who had dominated the Golden Waterway for many years like cutting vegetables. Although everyone was surprised, they felt more of a sense of pain and pleasure in their hearts.
Who didn't have relatives and friends who made a living on the Po River? They died in the hands of those bandits. No matter who their backer was or what their purpose was, they really paid the price with their lives, and everyone could only celebrate.
But the last time was a real threat to their lives. With the size of the water elemental giant, it didn't need to do much, it could just raise its leg and overturn the 'boat' at its feet. Although it was said that in the end, the thunder was loud but the rain was small, and it was inexplicably solved by the mage. Everyone could only breathe a sigh of relief, but they were worried that there would be a third turn of events tonight.
Fortunately, that kind of thing didn't happen.
Apart from the sailors who were purely watching the show, among the trusted aides of Baron Engels and his wife, the idea of using means to 'keep' the mage had never stopped. However, less than a day after the first meeting, Baron William Engels, who was completely sober, asked the deacon who belonged to his wife, "Do we do it?"
The deacon from the Ruan family, who was really a core figure of the Ruan family. His arrival represented that the group of people behind him gradually paid attention to Baron Engels' network of connections. At the same time, he was also a hidden powerhouse among the trusted aides of the Baron couple … Compared to the average person, he was a hidden powerhouse, and he was the last safeguard for the safety of the Baron couple.
The opinion of such a person greatly affected the decision of the Baron couple. Before this, he had never expressed his opinion. On the one hand, it was also because of William Greco's clear position that he didn't allow anyone to deal with his friends. The Sword Saint was an opponent that the Deacon admitted he couldn't win against. Now, there were two more names on the list of people he couldn't win against.
In response to the question of this half-master and the similarly puzzled gaze of the young lady of the Ruan family, the deacon said seriously, "In a direct battle, I reckon that even if all of the family's trump cards were taken out, they still wouldn't be a match. So please don't think about such meaningless things. "
"I can't deal with it."
"Yes. That elusive spell didn't seem to have any restrictions on its usage. Just this point alone made all sneak attacks and ambushes meaningless. If they failed, they wouldn't even be able to escape. As long as we fall into the enemy's hands, with Lich around, there's no secret that we can't find out. "
"Even death can't solve the problem? In other words, before you have absolute confidence, you shouldn't even try. "
"Yes, that's right. And there's another big problem. "
Following the deacon's words, Baron Engels thought of the ordinary long sword in that person's hand and sighed. "Cassette Cutting is even more ridiculous than the Battleship Slicing Knife. And it's even more ridiculous than the rumors say. "
"According to the legends, the Cassette Cutting will actively choose its user. Other than that, it's only extremely hard. Unless other Cassette Cutting is used, it can't be destroyed. However, the box cutter didn't just display the characteristic of 'toughness'. It can talk like a human, sometimes the blade is so blunt that it won't hurt even if it's directly slashed by the hand, and sometimes it can cut through magical beasts like the Cockatrice as easily as cutting vegetables. And most importantly, I suspect that the Cassette Cutting can use magic. "
"It can use magic? Where did you observe it from?"
The deacon thought for a moment, and after thinking about the words he should use, he said, "It was when they were fighting in the air. After the magician threw the sword, there was a reaction of magic power around the sword. And that's different from the state of being under magic. It's more like a situation where magic is actively used. "
"What a troublesome person." Baron Engels sighed and asked the light knight who had been standing behind him, "Teacher, do you think father has a way?"
As the swordsmanship teacher of the five men of the great noble family, the light knight also had the status of a noble, and he knew all the inside stories that he should know in detail. Because of this, he was qualified to be William Engels' personal guard. But he had no confidence in dealing with the two magicians. He said, "Dealing with two people at the level of a Grand Sorcerer at the same time, even if the military country came forward, they wouldn't be able to do anything."
"Grand Sorcerer …" William Engels swallowed a mouthful of saliva. No matter how much the nobles looked down on magicians, they were still in awe of the person represented by the term 'Grand Sorcerer.'
Magicians who were very good at fighting would be awarded the title of Great Magician. But such a title only belonged to the region. If the magician was very famous in a certain region, the so-called Great Magician would inevitably be somewhat exaggerated. But if the magician was recognized as a Great Magician by enough regions of the Society of Sorcerers, the title of Grand Sorcerer would automatically be honored as Grand Sorcerer. Another meaning was that "this guy is so strong that almost all the Great Magicians in the Land of Sorcerers recognize him."
Of course, the nobles of a military country were not qualified to judge whether a magician was qualified as a Grand Sorcerer. But if the magician was the imaginary enemy, a magic apprentice was undoubtedly the lowest level of opponent. Magicians belonged to one level, and Great Magicians belonged to another level. And Grand Sorcerer was undoubtedly on another level.
At that level, the only way to solve it was through war. If the other party had a magic tower, then even wishful thinking could be saved. So the unspoken words of William Engels' personal guard and swordsmanship teacher were: Don't think about dealing with the other party, just wash up and sleep.
Of course, William Engels also attached great importance to his teacher's evaluation. If the other party was regarded as a Grand Sorcerer, then many strategies would need to be adjusted.
Nobles were not people who would immediately become good friends with anyone they met, even if they had saved their lives. Instead, they would go through a series of evaluations and confirm that the other party was indeed helpful to them. Only then would they interact according to the situation.
If betrayal could lead to higher benefits, they would not hesitate. Similarly, if the gains did not make up for the losses of provoking the other party, unless there was something wrong with their heads, they would be very soft-hearted.
Everything was done with the interests of their own family as the top priority.
So the situation of this night quickly reached the eyes of Duke Engels and the head of the Ruan family. Then, with the two families as the center, it quickly spread to all the nobles.
For the barons and his wife, passing on the information as soon as possible could prevent the family behind them from making the wrong decision. Even if they did not think highly of a magician and a Lich who was suspected to be the Devil King from a thousand years ago, if they wanted to deal with them, they had to solve the visible problem first.
The elusive teleportation magic, the legendary weapon – Cassette Cutting, and the towering water elemental giant. If there was no way to solve the problem that the three barons and his wife had witnessed with their own eyes, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they had to obediently lie dormant like insects.
Of course, the evaluation of the Grand Sorcerer level was also spread. The attitude of most nobles was still that of a dead man. Every young noble who wanted to be famous wanted to test the weight of this Grand Sorcerer. If it were not for the fact that those few abilities were too unsolvable, someone would not have peace.
However, the Society of Sorcerers in the area, as if against the Kingdom of Weida that had been suppressing them, quickly decided to grant the title of Grand Sorcerer to the two people who did not report to the headquarters of the branch at all, and were just passing by, in order to vent their long-held grievances. They also sent out a messenger to announce such an honor.
But when other people saw the two magicians again, it was already three days later. Of course, it was impossible for someone to spend all his time in bed. Lin took advantage of this opportunity to do a magic experiment that he did not want to announce. Fen was an indispensable helper. In terms of results, it was not considered a success. On the other hand, someone had also fulfilled his promise to give the two apprentices two days off.
During the days of temporary isolation from the outside world, there were many changes in the outside world. After someone came out, the first thing he discovered was that the White Sword Saint had left again. Saying that he was going to look for his own sword, William Greco left the ship alone. No one knew where he was going.
Following that, there was a series of farewells. Baron Engels and his wife were the most considerate. Not only did they send some wine, but they also sent a letter on behalf of the Ruan family. The content of the letter was that the Ruan family's Chamber of Commerce needed to provide convenience.
This letter was more like a letter of introduction than a membership like the VIP system on Earth.
In the land of mystery, great nobles and big Chamber of Commerce were the same. They would not easily pay attention to people they did not know. To contact them, there must be a middleman's introduction. In fact, there was also a sense of credit guarantee, but this guarantee did not necessarily have joint responsibility. It depended on the status and strength of the two parties.
In the past, Lin's contact with the Chamber of Commerce was mostly through the Society of Sorcerers. In other words, the Society acted as an introducer and guarantor, providing services for the purchase and sale of goods for the magicians who needed it.
With this letter, a certain someone could make use of the Ruan Clan's social network, which was considered a very high level of courtesy.
As for the other group of unexpected guests, they were the messengers from the local Society of Sorcerers, the Lize Simple Branch. The leader was a white-haired great magician, who wanted to grant two people the qualifications of a great magician in the Lize Simple Branch.
No one was more astonished by this news than Guebrach Lin Tripwood himself. He had never thought that there would be a day when he would be able to hang on two golden tassels.
According to the knowledge of Earth, a great magician was at least at the level of a university professor. And to become a professor, in addition to knowledge, connections were also very important. This was not a position that could be held by pure intelligence.
If it was not for the transmigration, he, as a top student, was confident that he would not lose to anyone in terms of studying and doing research. But to become a professor, he had no confidence. Because his profession was too special, he would probably be a researcher for the rest of his life. If he was unlucky, he could only find a job outside of his profession. He would not even be able to become a researcher, let alone a professor.
When the white-bearded old magician with the traditional appearance said this fact with a kind smile, a certain someone was stunned. Fen accepted it as a matter of course without any psychological burden.
