The Rise of the Cemetery

Chapter 0075 The highest art of planting

Li Xunmeng's eyes brightened.

By the way, how could I forget her!

Siris washes her face with tears every day because there is no chance of revenge. If I provoke her to come forward, she will definitely be happy, not to mention that there is a legendary mage behind Siris, the credibility of the rumor will instantly increase countless times.

Humph, the highest art of planting is saying someone has shit in their crotch! Let him be indisputable, even if he wants to prove himself.

It seems that I will have to work again at some time, Master Angelet will come out! This time it is very likely that he will deal with a legendary mage. For a better planting effect, this risk is worth taking.

For a moment, the two people in the carriage were thinking about their own things, and the conversation became inexplicably cold, leaving only the sound of the wheels.

In the next few days of the trip, Li Xun did not detain Elena, and he was not afraid that she would see something from him. Therefore, whenever she settled in a small town or town, she would sneak away and sneak back before leaving the next day. Li Xun originally wanted to send a ghost killer to follow her to see what she was doing, but after thinking about it, he forgot. One more thing is worse than one less thing. The more natural and decent she behaves, the more credible what she said earlier. If she is suspicious, how can she win the trust of others?

After 13 days, they finally stepped into the destination city of Pierpont.

The capital of the Principality, Pierpont is an ancient city with a long history of nearly 500 years. The old buildings hundreds of years ago, but with unique charm, constitute its main body, and the castle built by the aristocrats who worship fashion Palaces, carriages inlaid with gold and silver, the aristocratic carriage street, surrounds these ancient buildings and radiates outwards; or the transition between them is regrettably messy, but compared with them, the planning The square and square new city in the city is too tidy and monotonous, lacking the richness and dignity of Pierpont's history.

The previous brief residence allowed Li Xun to visit all the bustling streets and well-known shops in Pierpont City. However, the astonishing street that can accommodate ten carriages paralleling each other, and the majestic Grand Duke's Mansion at the end of the street still shocked Li Xun a little bit.

The Principality's Mage Association is located on the left side of the Grand Duke's Mansion. When turning from the Central Avenue to the road leading to the Mage Association, the number of noble carriages coming and going suddenly became much scarcer. As soon as Elena entered the city gate and agreed to exchange information, she slipped out of the team, so Casas and Li Xun dismissed the escorting cavalry, and separated from Iron Fist Knight to a different location to hand over the mission. The remaining 3 iron fist knights and rangers were going to the city hall, while Casas and Li Xun walked into the tower of the Mages Association.

The tower of the Mage Association is not a complete mage tower, but the main structure is still similar. As a public place for the mage group, the office hall on the first floor is still occupied by mage apprentices coming and going. The only thing that can be commended is that no apprentice dares to set up a stall here.

Seeing the mage robes and mage badges of the two, many apprentices bowed and saluted, and then hid in a corner and quietly discussed the age of the new-faced mage. With such a young mid-level mage, when did the Principality produce a genius mage again? Apprentices who are well-informed will inevitably show off and count the "great achievements" of Master Li Xun in exterminating the undead.

Casas was very familiar with this place, and asked the apprentice who was in charge of the reception about the high-ranking mage who was in charge of daily affairs during this period.

"Master Kasas, the senior mage Ericus is already waiting for your arrival on the third floor."

Casas nodded in satisfaction, and led Li Xun straight up to the third floor, along the circular corridor to the door of a room. After casting the message, Casas took the opportunity to introduce to Li Xun: "Ericus is a level 14 enchanter, and his combat ability is a bit weak, so he often stays in the association to do some daily work. He is modest and fair, you You can ask him for anything in the future.”

Soon the door of the room opened, and there was a burst of laughter and curses from inside:

"Casas, you little guy was talking nonsense at my door just after you came back, come in quickly!"

Casas laughed and pulled Li Xun into the room.

After a slight dizziness, Li Xun finally managed to see the inside of the room clearly. In the wide space, a huge table full of experimental equipment; a bookshelf with a ladder and a height of more than three meters; comfortable sofas and rocking chairs; even a hammock are scattered under the luminous ceiling. In addition, there is a metal product that can be called a giant in the very center of the floor. Its appearance is somewhat similar to that of a boiler, made of a mixture of various metals.

A bald old mage was standing in front of the metal products, gesticulating, as if using magic to detect the internal situation. Seeing the two people coming in, he gave up the experiment in his hands, turned his head, walked to the sofa by the wall, sat down, and beckoned the two to pass.

Looking at a room the size of three football fields, Li Xun immediately thought of the term "space expansion technology". The tower of the Mage Association is not wide, and it is impossible to have such a large usable area inside, so it must have been remodeled using space expansion technology. Advanced, the group of mages has developed a lot of good things. This kind of technology must be learned by oneself, but I don’t know if it is expensive?

Realizing that Li Xun was a bit confused and dull after he came in, and knowing that he was overwhelmed by everything here, Casas had no choice but to drag him to the old mage.

The old mage looked at the two of them up and down, and looked at Li Xun very seriously, before he spoke for a long time: "Your Excellency Andorius has returned, and he spoke highly of the performance of the two of you. This mission can be regarded as a successful completion. , Relevant task rewards will also be issued to you."

Upon hearing the reward, Li Xun shook Lingling into a cold war, and immediately regained his usual shrewdness, staring at the lovely old mage with bright eyes.

The old mage took out two contracts, handed them to the two, and continued: "This is the agreed free contract. As long as you sign the pledge to take effect, you can be regarded as free mages in the principality. Your territory needs to be delineated and surveyed by the city hall. I won't interfere too much. It doesn't matter if you reserve an estate, and you can give your relatives a place to settle down and live, and it will solve your worries. Put it into the study of magic. You are all good talents, don't go astray, knowledge is the ultimate pursuit of a mage."

Li Xun curled his lips in his heart, and muttered to himself that it is because you believe in this sentence that it is easy to go astray. The disapproval in his heart was immediately brought to his expression, and the old mage who had been paying attention to Li Xun said displeasedly: "Why, do you have a different opinion?"

Li Xun was startled at first, and then said calmly, "Dear Your Excellency, I personally think that knowledge is just knowledge, and it can only be used as a tool for us to explore the world. The endless exploration of the outside world should be our real pursuit. Knowledge is An essential tool to achieve this."

"Oh... the theory of knowledge tools? This argument has also been brought up, tell me what do you think?"

"First of all, we need to understand what is the purpose of our tireless collection of knowledge? I personally think it is to improve our human life. We mages have changed from ordinary people to spellcasters, but we are still a member of human beings. We must Use the knowledge we seek to improve the ordinary people who gave birth to us. Many mages collectively refer to people outside the mage group as mortals, which is a kind of arrogance that deviates from their own roots. Why do arcanists perish? They stand at the pinnacle of the era , but did not take good care of the foundation that lifted them up, so they disappeared in the long river of time after a battle with the gods. As their successors, we mages should not repeat this mistake, we must protect our The source is what we jokingly call "mortals". With them, our team of mages can continue to grow, and we can go forward. Without them, we are a river that has lost its source, and it will dry up sooner or later. Knowledge is dead. People are alive!"

The old mage and Casas looked at the eloquent Li Xun in surprise, and couldn't help closing their eyes and thinking. When the old mage asked the question just now, he just said it casually, and didn't expect a young mage under 20 years old to have any systematic and overall insights. How could he expect Li Xun to have such a perfect and unique thought. Thinking about his words carefully, although you can't fully accept them, you can also feel that they are his true thoughts from the heart.

The mage who has been arrogant and arrogant for thousands of years has found it difficult to accept his close connection with ordinary people. Once I became a mage, I felt that I was separated from the group of "mortals", and my friends and friends were limited to the small circle of mages, and those outside the circle were only resources that could be used, dominated, and controlled. Now you tell him in the dark that noble mages and certain resources are of the same kind, which completely subverts the worldview he inherited.

The old mage closed his eyes and meditated for a while, and when he opened his eyes again to look at Li Xun, he already had admiring eyes.

"Your Excellency Andaures' eyes are still sharp. I know why I give you such a high evaluation. Welcome, child who likes to think, my door is always open for you! Just for your wonderful remarks, I allow you Pick one from my personal collection as a gift."

Hearing this, Casas next to him opened his eyes wide in shock and couldn't believe his ears. A high-level enchanter willing to open his treasure house to others? God, I have known the old mage for more than ten years, and I have never received such preferential treatment. Now I have made such a promise because of a few words, 5555, it is simply too enviable!

Casas gritted his teeth and patted Li Xun on the shoulder, saying bitterly, "Master Li Xun, you have to choose carefully, carefully!"

Li Xun could only nod his head repeatedly, but he didn't dare to touch his already numb shoulders. Fortunately, he didn't know what kind of collection a senior enchanter could have, otherwise he would have been happy.

The old mage took out a thick spell book and threw it to Casas, asking him to choose a unique spell as the third reward promised by the principality, while he led Li Xun to the warehouse on the side.
