It was rumored that the Warlock Saint Mahetab was also a member of the nobility in the Guevana Empire. The reason why she dared to show her face in public as a woman was because those who dared to cause trouble for her were all dead. Those who dared to question her based on her gender, even if they were not dead, would be dead soon.
In fact, the Guevana Empire did not lack female generals who wore long gowns and veils with heavy armor underneath. They personally killed their enemies on the battlefield. There was also an all-female Black Veil Army among the Emperor's personal guards. They were responsible for the safety of the harem ladies.
However, no matter what, she was not inferior to men and had the courage to break the rigid tradition. The Warlock Saint Mahetab was also a woman. She knew how to judge a new thing from a different perspective from men.
Just like the three sets of magic equipment on the person in front of her, the Warlock Saint Mahetab's first evaluation was that it was powerful, and the second evaluation was that it was beautiful. Although she had not seen it with her own eyes before, she only knew about it from rumors. However, silk and magic, when these two elements were put together, it was enough to make people chase after it. Even she was no exception. Now that she saw it with her own eyes, she was even more amazed in her heart. Her eyes showed unreserved desire.
If it were other male Magicians, they would only think that it was powerful and would not care about the second evaluation. If it were nobles, they might think that it was beautiful, but they would not be able to judge how powerful it was.
It could be said that Fen wanted to come and talk to the Warlock Saint Mahetab because she was the only one who truly understood the value of these sets of magic equipment in the letter. Therefore, Fen wanted to see her and wear this set to let her evaluate it. She wanted to see if the Warlock Saint Mahetab's praise was just blind flattery or genuine love. Simply put, she was here to show off.
On the other hand, it was also because Fen wanted to exchange something with Mahetab, so she was willing to come and negotiate. Personally coming to the other party's Magic Tower was the first show of sincerity that Fen showed. The second was the gift that she asked Hallumi to bring over. After the golden-haired girl put the things on the table in the guest room, the few apprentices were sent away.
The Warlock Saint Mahathab understood and asked his student to serve the coffee. He then brought the three young men and women to the small reception room to rest. She wanted to face the Demon King from a thousand years ago alone. It was impossible to say that he was afraid. As long as the Warlock Saint stayed in his magic tower, he would have the confidence to face any enemy. However, she couldn't help but be curious about what was in the exquisite lacquer box on the table.
Fen, who was wearing the Four Spirits Robe, had a natural elegance to her every move, completely unlike her past self. She rolled up her sleeves and waved her hand. Her slender fingers, which were originally hidden in her sleeves, also carried a bit of dazzling brilliance, causing people to follow her movements without blinking. Fen said, "Sir Mahathab, this gift is related to the topic of our discussion, so please accept it."
Lich, who wasn't good at serious business, said stiffly.
Mahathab didn't care. After all, not many Mages would spend their skill points on business negotiations. Most people were used to being straightforward. If they worked together, they would succeed. If they didn't, they would separate.
Since the item in front of him was a gift, and it was clearly related to the upcoming discussion, Maha Tab directly opened the lacquer box. There were three sets of female underwear neatly placed inside. They were plain, without any fancy decorations or lace. The only thing worth showing off was that they were made of pure silk.
Maha Tab, who didn't understand what was in the box at first, keenly sensed the material of the item in her hand as soon as it touched her hand. It was the same material as silk, but there weren't as many patterns and colors.
"These are close-fitting underwear. They're made of silk and aren't enchanted. I think it's perfect as a meeting gift, "Fen said with a smile.
At the same time, Fen briefly described how to wear it with a whiteboard. This was also why she sent the three apprentices away. Of course, the most important thing was to send Leonardo away. Even if she didn't care if there were men present when discussing these things, she had to consider that other people didn't care. Therefore, sending the apprentices away for now was the best choice.
Because it was close-fitting, and Fen had described it with a whiteboard, Maha Tab still blushed slightly. Then, she thought of many things.
First of all, this close-fitting underwear made of silk must have been made by the person in front of her. That was because the silk on the market was never plain. There must be some simple patterns.
Secondly, not only did they know how to make it, but they also knew the source of the material. That was why they had extra materials to make this kind of clothing that couldn't be seen by the eyes and only pursued comfort.
Therefore, Maha Tab happily rubbed the item in her hand. While enjoying the smooth touch, she asked tentatively, "Are the materials used to make silk from those little insects?"
In the past year or so, even the six masters of the Estari Six United Towers couldn't easily ignore the movements of this mathematics master and the other mathematics master.
Of all their actions, the most confusing one was when they commissioned the Adventurers Guild to collect a large number of insect-type Magical Beasts and ordinary insects. But now that she thought about it, this matter was most likely related to the item in her hand. That was why Maha Tab asked.
Fen didn't want to hide it. She and Lin had discussed it before. The collection of magical moths and ordinary moths was public. There was no way to hide anything. So instead of lying, it was better to admit it openly. But keeping the details a secret would distract the attention of those who wanted to know.
Most mages would choose to do their own research when they couldn't spy on them. Anyway, they already had a clue. If others could do it, they wouldn't be stupid. Among the mages in the Land of Mystery, the bad habits of commercial espionage and borrowing were not obvious.
So in the face of a Warlock Saint's prying, Fen said generously, "It's those little insects. But please forgive me for keeping the details a secret. "
"Haha, I can understand. It's just that these clothes look just like ordinary silk. They don't seem to contain power. "Even if magic materials weren't enchanted, they contained power. But the item in her hand didn't have that kind of feeling. That was why Maha Tab asked this question.
Fen didn't explain much. She just stretched out her hand and handed the long sleeve of the four spiritual clothes to the puzzled Warlock Saint. Maha Tab reached out and touched it. He felt the smoothness of the silk, as well as the unfathomable magic power.
Without touching it, he could only feel that this set of clothes was like a fog, blocking everyone's senses. But after touching it, he could feel the complicated power operation hidden in this set of clothes.
Among all the magic tools and equipment that Maha Tab had come into contact with, this set of silk clothes was also one of the most powerful. In addition, the exquisite pattern was like a work of art. It covered the clothes perfectly and covered the entire body. It wasn't eye-catching, but it made people look more beautiful. This made her desire to have it even stronger.
Maha Tab didn't argue and asked directly, "Sir Tikal, what do you need? Money? Magic materials? Or a promise of mine? "
The Land of Mystery's financial system wasn't very developed. Bartering was still a common practice. What's more, if it was something really big or valuable, they would choose to trade in ways other than money. The former was because there wasn't enough money as a medium of exchange. The latter was because money couldn't be measured, so Maha Tab asked this question.
Fen didn't want to beat around the bush and said directly, "I need to borrow the energy pool for the ceremony. It'll take 15 days, at most 30 days. Of course, the energy pool on the third floor will do. "
Everyone knew that a three-story Magic Tower had one energy pool, a four-story tower had two, and a five-story tower had three. It was precisely because every additional floor meant an additional energy pool that the height of the Magic Tower was limited, as well as the expensive cost and rarity.
It wasn't that no one had broken through this rule and tried to build higher. But how high could a simple stone tower be and how resistant could it be to earthquakes? This kind of tower, which only cared about height, couldn't escape from natural disasters and war and survive until now.
And the highest floor of the Estari Six-United Tower was the domain of the tower master, who controlled the entire Magic Tower and couldn't easily show it to others. The same situation happened on the highest floor of the four-story tower and the three-story tower, because it was almost equivalent to handing over control of the Magic Tower.
The energy pool on the fourth floor of the Six-United Tower was used to jointly build a barrier to protect the library, as well as the barrier defense of the tower itself. It could be said to be the most important task, and couldn't be interrupted or abandoned.
For the five-story tower, the energy pool on the third floor was mostly provided for the tower master's apprentices for research. Most of the time, it was responsible for sharing the pressure of the energy pools on the fifth and fourth floors. It could be said to be the most flexible energy pool in terms of usage.
But to lend it to an outsider … Maha Tab wasn't too willing.
No matter what, this energy pool was also in the Magic Tower, and if the other party caused a big problem, it would implicate the entire Magic Tower. But this was the exchange condition for that powerful and beautiful set of clothes.
As far as Maha Tab knew, there were many people who had made similar requests, but none of them had received any promises. That Magician had tactfully rejected them. Some people even planned to use underhanded means, regardless of success or failure. And he was the only one who had received a response so far, although it hadn't been finalized yet.
But to use the energy pool as an exchange condition … Maha Tab decided to probe further. He asked, "Sir Tikal, you only need to borrow the energy pool, no other requests?"
"Yes, I only need to borrow the energy pool. But Sir Mage Saint, you can rest assured. The ceremony I'm about to perform has nothing to do with cursing or attacking anywhere or harming anyone. It's also not to summon or communicate with creatures from other planes. I only need to use a large amount of power to reconstruct a physical body. Of course, if you can directly assign a Magic Tower to me, even if I have to pay a price, it's not unacceptable. "Fen spread out her hands and said.
"Haha." Maha Tab laughed dryly, ignoring Fen's last request.
Not letting this Magician and her man in front of him obtain any Magic Tower was already an open secret among the higher-ups of the Society of Sorcerers. With the Tower of the Great Sage in front of them, the power that the tower had displayed so far was already a serious threat to other Magic Towers, and even the Sika District branch of the Society of Sorcerers. Not to mention that the tower's power had yet to be fully explored.
"Perhaps it's not that I can't consider borrowing the energy pool. But Sir Tikal, can you propose a corresponding value? "
