Mage Adam

12. Before departure

Except for Adam, several others wanted to visit this bustling city. Compared with the southern harbor city, Hanfeng City in the Northland is undoubtedly a rural town, and young people yearn for the colorful world.

The plan couldn't keep up with the rapid changes, and before they left, the gate of the Duke's mansion opened, and a group of people walked out from it.

The Duke seemed to be a middle-aged man. He came to Master Black and performed a standard aristocratic etiquette. He greeted: "Dear Master Black, welcome." Then he gave the six apprentices a hug He moved, and said: "You are also welcome, little apprentices."

Everyone returned their salutes one after another, the Duke laughed and led them to the Duke's mansion, and said: "Everyone came just in time, the preparations for the dinner have just started. The rest of the mages and their apprentices have already arrived."

Master Black smiled and said, "Oh? That's not bad. It seems that we can start early. I've been away from the Mage Continent for too long, and my body is a little tired."

The Duke expressed his regret: "Is it in such a hurry? I still have many questions to ask."

"No way, this time is different from the past, you know, the academy is in a hurry..."

While talking, everyone came to the banquet hall. There were already many people sitting at a huge round table. Two men and a woman sat at the head and tail. The self-contained chatters got up and greeted Master Black when they saw him: "Master Black, are you It's a bit late."

Master Black greeted them one by one: "Master Robert, Master Jerome, and the beautiful Master Irene, you must know that I am in charge of the far north, so naturally I am not as fast as you guys."

Adam and the others took their seats after bowing to the three unfamiliar mages. Apart from them, there were thirty-four apprentices in total, all of about the same age, but they didn't seem to be very friendly to Adam and his party?

The Duke who reappeared wore a bloated and gorgeous dress, and personally stood at the door directing the servants to bring out plates of food that were too delicate to be destroyed. The beautiful maid sobered herself up and served it to everyone.

Ophelia looked ugly and looked very embarrassed. Compared with the dinner at the Duke's Mansion, Earl Johnson's reception really couldn't be on the table.

Crystal and the three male apprentices were stunned. One of them was a commoner, and the other three were minor nobles. In addition, they lived in that barren place in the Northland. They had never seen such a luxurious banquet.

The Duke announced the start of the banquet with a loud voice, and he himself walked to the mages, and the apprentices were naturally served by servants.

"Gudong."

Sam Aiden couldn't help swallowing saliva in his throat.

Adam wasn't paying attention to the food. In the Northland, both nobles and commoners used oil lamps for lighting at night, but here Adam found that the devices used for lighting were similar to electric lamps, but he found no trace of the use of electric energy.

"Is this a product of alchemy? The power of magic?" Adam was very curious, staring at the lamp non-stop.

When everyone was about to enjoy the delicious food, a nasty word came, which ruined their mood: "Oh, why, have you never seen a dinner party of this size? No wonder, I heard that you are from the Northland? Are the people there Living with wild beasts? Tsk tsk, what a pity, I need to eat more later, or I won’t have a chance in the future.”

The apprentices in the North turned their heads to look at the speaker angrily, and found that he was a young man with a greasy hair and a pink face, his hair was combed back meticulously, and he was slowly handling the food on the dinner plate with a knife and fork. He didn't lift it up, and looked extremely rude. He didn't look at the Northland apprentice until he felt his eyes, and then taunted: "What's the matter, everyone? Am I wrong? If so, I would like to represent the nobles of the civilized world to You guys apologize."

Sam Edenton stood up from his seat,

Mysteriously, he took out a glove from his pocket and said in an extremely angry tone: "Tell me your name, and then apologize immediately, otherwise you will bear the wrath from the Aiden family."

The oily head and noodles still dismissed it: "Did I hit it? The Aiden family? Haha, I've never heard of it. Did you get the noble status by your mouth?"

The duke and the mages didn't care about the conflict that happened under their noses, they just reminded them lightly: "Don't break things." They didn't care about it anymore.

Most of the other apprentices were watching the show, especially waiting for the Northlanders to make a fool of themselves.

The thin blood in Sam Aiden's body fluctuated, and he waved his gloves and roared: "Tell me your name, coward, don't you dare?"

Adam was a little puzzled, maybe he had too few nobles in contact with him, but even Marshall and Dennis seemed to have never done such a stupid move. Although Sam Eden and the others were a bit cold after hearing that they were civilians, But after all, he was not rude, why is this person in front of him so stupid?

This time, even Ophelia couldn't help saying: "Insulting a nobleman but not daring to say his name to accept the duel, I never knew that there are people as cowardly as you among the nobles."

With the support from Ophelia, Sam Eden became more confident, and slammed the glove on his greasy face: "Duel, cowards, only one of us can survive."

After the glove fell off his face, the greasy-faced powder face could no longer maintain that mocking and provocative face. He looked at his companions for help, but found that no one paid attention to him.

At this time, a young man with a temperament similar to Ophelia stood up and said, "That's enough, Tom. I never knew when a commoner was qualified to represent a nobleman. Now, apologize and sit down."

Oily face, oh no, it was Tom who looked at the young man in disbelief and said, "No, Mr. William, I just want to teach these country folks a lesson, you can't do this, I..."

"William Alfred, this is the name of the young man, the son of the Duke, the most dazzling genius in the south, with excellent mental power, and a soul tendency that is compatible with the fire element." Master Irene said after taking a sip of the wine , "Congratulations, Duke Alfred, your son has better talents than you, and there is a high possibility that there will be an official mage in the Alfred family."

The Duke smiled from ear to ear, obviously very satisfied with his son, but he still said: "You are too proud, William still has a lot to learn."

Master Irene didn't take it seriously, and asked several companions: "How about you? Have you found any good seedlings?"

Master Robert, who is in charge of the west, complained: "This time the time is too hasty, and there is no way to organize a larger test. The apprentice qualifications I brought are all ordinary, and only one has shown a weak curse affinity."

The rest of the mages expressed regret to him. Since the success of the mage revolution, most of the curse spells have been invalidated. Curse affinity is really a narrow path of development.

Master Jerome, who is in charge of the east, said: "The east is not bad. There are a few with excellent spiritual aptitude. A commoner apprentice named Quentin has the talent of affinity with life force."

"What about you, Blake, the northern land is barren, so you don't think you will gain much?"

The mages over there are talking, but this end, the conflict between the apprentices is not over yet.

Ophelia could easily see what William Alfred was thinking. First, she let her companion provoke her, and then came out to smooth things over when she saw that her companion could not hold on to the situation. There was no such thing as cheap. Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, Ophelia stood up and said: "When can a commoner just apologize after insulting a nobleman? Is this a southern rule? Since Sam has initiated a duel, then this commoner can either Accept, either compensate Sam enough to pay for his life, or become his slave."

Tom was completely frightened, and tremblingly asked for help: "Mr. William, please, I can't..."

William ignored him. One always pays for one's stupidity, and if it hadn't been the occasion, if he hadn't been from the South, William would have liked to see him in trouble.

"This beautiful lady, am I lucky enough to know your name?" William asked Ophelia with a slight bow.

"Ophelia Johnson."

"I've heard of your name, the Valkyrie of the North, it's an honor to meet you." He took off a ring from his hand and put it in front of Ophelia, "This is a magic item , storing the zero-level magic fireball, I think it is enough to make up for Tom's fault."

hiss.

There was a gasping sound, and even Ophelia and Sam didn't expect that William would actually take out this kind of thing as compensation.

Apprentices who have just seen the magic of the mage have zero resistance to being able to immediately possess a magic item. Sam 'forgave' the rudeness of the commoner in an instant, and looked at Ophelia inquiringly. nod.

Seeing this, William smiled and said, "Then, it's a deal."

Sam picked up the ring excitedly, and after struggling countless times within a few seconds, he handed the ring to Ophelia reluctantly: "Miss Ophelia, I think this ring should belong to you."

Although Ophelia was also eager, she didn't want to take the ring for herself, so she shook her head and stopped talking.

A conflict ended, and Master Black said at this time: "From this point of view, my luck is not bad. Although I only recruited six apprentices, three of them have soul tendencies. Ophelia is amazingly talented in body training. A girl has the same talent as me, and the last one is amazing, as for the talent, I can't understand it."

The mages congratulated him. After returning to the academy, the dean will reward him according to the number of recruited geniuses, but it is better than nothing.

It was Duke Alfred who took these words to heart.
