After an inexplicable fight and an even more inexplicable win, Rorschach, an outsider, seemed to be gradually accepted by the Mage Society.
Why were there always rookies challenging famous veterans? That was because it was natural to lose, but if they won, they would really be able to make a huge profit and reach the sky in a single bound.
As a fifth-grade wild Mage, he started a game (duel) with an eighth-grade elven Mage, and in the end, he won an unbelievable victory.
Although the process was a little mysterious, Rorschach's victory was natural.
The intelligence station won the victory. Not only was the local snake and strong dragon's elf misled, but he also misjudged Malton's weakness and chose to participate in the duel as an apprentice who was completely restrained.
As for the muddy duel on the field … Who cared!
From the moment the fifth-grade elven Mage was pinned to the ground and beaten up by the second-grade apprentice, Irwin's reputation had been ruined. Even if there was a miracle later on, people would only remember the scene in front of them.
Elwin's choice to end this embarrassing duel with 'the dignity and mercy of the superior elves' was probably his way of showing mercy and care for his apprentice.
The result was that the Great Mage's reputation would be ruined, and Rorschach's reputation would rise because of it.
In fact, for most Great Mages, newcomers who stepped on the elders to climb up the ranks were not very good. After all, other than the displeasure of mourning the death of the same race, those who stepped on others to climb up the ranks were often too aggressive and did not know the rules. In a relatively peaceful social circle, they were not welcomed.
But if they stepped on a different race that everyone hated … Then it was a completely different matter.
"You've really surpassed your father. I met your father once, but I didn't expect his son to become a Great Mage so quickly …"
"No, I know you're not an official Great Mage yet, but you were able to win against that old guy, which proves that you have the qualifications to become a true Great Mage, especially a 'Mage' like you who won. Young man, if you're willing to find a more suitable place for your development, I'm willing to be your referral to a new society … "
"… Is this Mother Nature's territory? Can I take a look around? I'll get two eighth-ring scrolls as a reward. "
As the victor of the duel, Rorschach received a lot of praise and goodwill. He also received an endless stream of visitors.
Apart from the fact that he had embarrassed the "arrogant elven nuisance", it was more because he had won in a very ingenious way, which was very much in line with the mage's aesthetics (deception and wisdom). Many people had taken the initiative to befriend him, so that they could form good karma with him.
After the news that Rorschach had a special Nature's Demiplane and that it was the creation of a certain big shot and the original laboratory spread out, the number of people who came to visit him instantly increased by ten times.
Most of the visitors would not see Rorschach. Seviala and Isabella could handle them.
Recently, Seviala had already viewed the Mage Country as a stage for her to change her status. She was becoming more and more active in all sorts of social situations. She would rather die than give up this opportunity to directly interact with the true ruler of the Mage Country, an archmage.
And if Seviala still didn't stop them and allowed them to meet Rorschach, they would probably all be major figures that she couldn't afford to offend … How could she possibly stop a rank 8 or 9 archmage from meeting a junior like him?
Rorschach was quite calm. Those who wanted to come in could come in, and those who wanted to chat with him could chat with him. The practical youth was quite happy to meet these big shot archmages as a junior … Since they were all his seniors, how could he forget to give them a greeting gift for their first meeting!
Not only that, Rorschach had obtained many resources and magical knowledge that he couldn't possibly obtain on the market, just by receiving all sorts of gifts and tickets to visit the Bardi Empire. Rorschach had also obtained many magical resources and magical knowledge that he couldn't possibly obtain on the market. This was especially the case since he was able to ask a question that a mega archmage could answer. Just a few words from Rorschach were equivalent to several years of hard work.
This was no exaggeration at all. Problems that were completely unsolvable for a rank 5 archmage were as common as elementary school math for a rank 8 or 9 archmage.
Typically speaking, such guidance would come with a price … However, Rorschach was being so humble. He even opened up a portion of his Demiplane for everyone to study and study. He even provided food and lodging. Not only that, he even made the half-wood spirit Zheng Tai act cute and act dumb … From a certain standpoint, Rorschach was really going all out.
Not only that, but this move was actually quite effective. Many older female archmages came to visit him multiple times after hearing about Rorschach and Lori's tragic experiences, as well as their abnormally irresponsible parents. It was as if their maternal instincts were overflowing.
It had to be said that Rorschach's physical appearance, which he had always disliked, really gave him a lot of points at this moment.
The archmages weren't young anymore. Many of them were grandfathers and grandmothers. It was already an instinct for them to dote on their juniors and grandsons. As for Rorschach, from a certain standpoint, he had a "pure bloodline and relationship" with the archmages … To put it more bluntly, he was just an old grandpa and grandma who liked cute little boys.
Yet, Rorschach actively kept his distance from them. He still insisted on the most basic principle of equal exchange for knowledge and resources. This actually made the elderly archmages like him even more.
After mentioning the conditions of exchange, even though he was unable to learn many spells due to his limited talent, Rorschach was still able to easily fill up his empty spell list since so many archmages came to visit him.
During this process, Rorschach completely integrated into the social circle of the Mage Country's archmages. He had a certain amount of connections and friendships.
Of course, there were pros and cons as well. During the exchange of various spells and knowledge, Rorschach's weakness in spellcasting restrictions was exposed.
But considering how he had just recently tricked Erwin with false information, it was difficult to say how many people would believe that Rorschach voluntarily exposed this weakness of his.
And with the construction of his mage tower and town, Rorschach now had his own personal mage territory and personal research lab.
It was probably from this moment onward that Rorschach could truly be called an archmage.
