Walking into the magic union, Xi Ya looked around curiously. After all, the profession of magician is so prominent. As the magic union of the Byzantine Empire, it can be regarded as the core holy land of the magician in the mainland. This magic union is responsible for the management of the magic world of the mainland, which must be an extremely remarkable place.
But after entering the building door, Xia Ya was disappointed.
Inside this door is a circular hall, and the decoration is nothing more than a simple slate surface. The walls are painted with white paint, and there are no strange and magical patterns of magic arrays. In Xiaya's view, I am afraid that I have come to the imperial capital by myself. On the first day, the study in Cavie Hill's house was much more solemn and shocking than here.
Here... it is simply an ordinary reception hall. The area of the hall is only more than ten steps wide. There is a staircase in front of it, and a long long table is in front of the building. Behind the table sits an old man with white hair, who is supporting his face with one hand. Dozing off on the case, the guy was wearing a grey robe, but not the sorcerer's badge.
Seeing Xia and Dodoro coming in—well, to be more precise, he should have "heard" the two coming in, and the old man barely raised his head. He muttered indistinctly: "Good afternoon, two master magicians, may I ask what you need to do..."
As he said that, he slipped away, swallowed the saliva from the corner of his mouth, raised his dirty sleeves and wiped it twice, then raised his head and looked at the two who came in with his dim old eyes.
After the two sides glanced at each other, it was obvious that Xia Ya was not dressed as a magician, so the old man put his eyes on Dodo Luo alone.
"This distinguished master magician, I am Dohari, the receptionist of the Magic Union. Please tell me your identity, let me register, and then please explain your purpose..." When the old man spoke, Xia discovered that his teeth were fast He fell out, his cheeks were shriveled, he barely stood up to salute Dotara, but his body was trembling, and it took a long time for him to stand up straight.
Dodoro raised his chest proudly: "My name is Dodoro, and my name is on the trade union's roster." After a pause, he glanced at Char next to him: "Well... this, this is mine. companion."
"I'm sorry." The old man nodded respectfully to Dodolo: "Since it's Master Mage, you should know the rules here. Even if you are your companion, you must register your name."
"Xia Ya." The turtle next to him reported his name indifferently: "Xia Ya thundering."
"Um..." The old man sat for a while, shiveringly picked up the quill on the table, and wrote on a form. Because of his old age and frailty, his words were all crooked, and while he was writing, he was vague on the other. Qing muttered: "Well, the visitor... the honorable Master Duoduoluo, um, and... the squire of the Master Master Xia Yaleiming... Well, it's a strange name, is there anyone else calling this kind of name... "
Hearing that the old man described himself as Dodoro's magician's squire, Xiaya immediately squinted and tried to refute, while Dodoro quickly turned to Xiaya again and again, nodding and raising his hand to plead, which made Xiaya close. mouth.
"Okay... Master Dodo Luo, please explain your purpose... I..."
"I need to see a deacon. It is a matter of my personal reputation. So, may I ask, which deacon is on duty today?" Duoduo answered cautiously.
The old man said "oh", but he seemed to be deaf. He asked again, and after Dodo repeated it, he nodded: "Well, please go upstairs, the second door on the left, just today Master Harris is there. On duty, you can go to him."
Dodo Luo breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled wryly at Xia: "Please wait here, um... Mage Guild, unless there are special things, ordinary people can't go in."
Xia Ya took a look here. Apart from such a bad old man in front of him, there are no guards in this entrance hall. If he insisted on entering, could this old man still stop him
But on second thought, this is a magic union after all, maybe there is something unique and powerful. I didn't come here today to ask for trouble, but just came here to take a look and satisfy my curiosity. In this case, Just wait here.
Seeing that Dotolo was going up the stairs, Xia stood in the hall and looked beside him. There wasn't even a chair in the hall. The old man who was in the reception sat back again, holding his face in his hands, his head one by one. Point, obviously dozed off again.
Xia Ya was a little bored, took two steps, and chatted casually: "This old gentleman, are you a member of the Magician's Guild?"
The old man seemed a little impatient, frowned and looked at Xia Ya, and muttered with a leaky mouth: "What nonsense... I'm not from here, what do I do sitting here... " He shook his head, and seemed to be very disdainful of Xia Ya. look.
"Oh? Then... Judging by your age, you have been in the magic union for a long time, haven't you?" Xi Ya asked curiously.
"Um..." The old man forced his eyes to open and stretched out his fingers to do the math: "I have... fifty... um, fifty-three years..."
Xia Ya said in awe: "So, you must be a magician too?"
The old man smiled embarrassingly, then glared at Xia Ya again, with a somewhat unkind tone: "You are so rude. If I were a magician, would I still be sitting here? Well... I'm just a magic apprentice."
Magic apprentice
Xia Ya stared at the old man, he was not in his 80s but in his 70s! At this age, he is still an "apprentice"? !
At this moment, the old man's dim eyes suddenly became sharp, and when he saw Xi Ya's expression, he seemed a little weird, he couldn't help but snorted and narrowed his eyes: "Young man, do you look down on me? Humph, tell you, my old man It's not a simple character! I've been here for so many years, even some real magicians will be polite when they see me."
After a pause, the old man seemed to be showing off: "Tell you, the current chairman of the Magic Union, Mr. Raphael, the Great Magister, was my classmate at the Magic Academy! We graduated from the Magic Academy together and won the title of Magic Apprentice together. what!"
Xia Ya couldn't help but smile.
Is the same classmate as the chairman of the magic union? It's a pity that after graduation, people have been promoted from magic apprentice to Grand Magister, but this old gentleman has stayed at the level of magic apprentice all his life...
It can only be said that it is doomed by fate.
When I was feeling emotional, I heard footsteps coming from outside the door.
A magician walked in slowly from outside the door, and only when he entered the door, he laughed in a hoarse voice: "Old Dohari, I came to see the deacon, did you give me the application I submitted last time? Hand it over to the deacon mages!"
As soon as he heard this voice, Xia Ya immediately felt a bit familiar, and when he looked back, he saw a magician walking in outside the door, wearing a gray robe, a large cloak, and a low-level magician badge on his chest. .
Looking at the other party's face, the other party also happened to be moving towards Xia Ya. The two of them met each other's eyes, and both of them were stunned at the same time, and then they both shouted "ah" at the same time.
"It's you?!"
"Ah You!!"
As soon as the magician saw Xia Ya, his face changed, his expression twisted a few times, and he seemed to turn around and run away, but just turned around, Xia Ya took a step forward and put his hand on the opponent's shoulder. He was very strong. The mage couldn't move when he grabbed his shoulders. He could only turn around with a wry smile, with a weird smile on his face: "Ah... So it's you, that... Mr. Witcher?"
Xia Ya squinted and looked at the other party: "I remember you... What are you... The guy in the fourth show in Wangcheng? What's your name... Well, that Nima Gebi... Ah, you are that magician, Bi Daldo!"
Bidaldo seemed to be extremely afraid of Xi Ya. Looking at Xi Ya, his legs kept shaking and his eyes were dodging, but he finally said with a wry smile: "That's right... Your memory is so good that you recognized me at a glance... "
But he couldn't help sighing in his heart: Why did this guy come to the imperial capital? Too bad... Does he even know that the last time I showed him the way was fake...
Sure enough, Xia Ya squinted his eyes and sneered: "Yi? You seem to be very guilty! Hmph, I remember that last time I was thanked for showing me the way, and I haven't paid it back yet! "
How dare Bidaldo really ask Xi Ya to "return the favor"? He hurriedly smiled and said, "I don't dare, that... I didn't expect to meet you here, then... I still have something to do, I'm sorry..."
He turned around to leave, but Xia Ya grabbed him: "Don't be busy! No matter how we say it, we've known each other for a long time."
With a snort, Xia Ya continued, "Thank you for the way you showed me last time!"
Bidaldo smiled wryly, and his heart slammed: "That... The last time I showed you the way, mistakes are inevitable in the hurry. You can't blame me for this, not to mention I... "
"What's more, you did it on purpose, right." Xia Ya snorted, and it took a little more strength to press the hand on the opponent's shoulder. Bidaldo's face suddenly turned pale, and his forehead was sweating, and he quickly said: " Let go! Let go! This is the magic union! You, it is very inconvenient for you to do something to me here!"
Xia Ya smiled and withdrew his hand: "I won't hit you either. Although you deliberately pointed me the wrong way last time, I didn't fool you, hum..."
Bidaldo was about to run away when Xia Ya let go, but when he heard this, he stopped and stared at Xia Ya with wide eyes: "You... You weren't fooled? So, did you really find that... "
Having said that, Bidaldo glanced at the old receptionist next to him, and quickly closed his mouth, but couldn't help staring at Xia.
Xia Ya smiled, but pretended not to answer.
Bidaldo was anxious and couldn't help but ask again: "You... did you really find it?"
But Xiaya shook his head and sighed deliberately: "Hmph, I didn't find anything, but I guessed that you deliberately pointed me the wrong way, and I ran in another direction, although I didn't find the one you said... But But he hunted down a good monster."
The turtle is not stupid. He has obtained a dragon and has gained a lot. These things are in his hands, but they are easy to attract coveted.
Bidaldo didn't doubt it. He knew that although this guy was powerful, he was definitely not powerful enough to kill a dragon... If he really found the dragon, he would be dead.
Moreover, Bidaldo also got the news that his teacher, and several other magicians who went to find the dragon, did not return after that time, I am afraid that they have been killed by the dragon together.
Even a few magicians died in the hands of that dragon, not to mention this guy? Since he was alive, he naturally didn't see the dragon—hmph, he was lucky.
To say that Bidaldo came to the Magic Union this time, it was indeed serious business.
His own strength is low, and on weekdays, he mainly relies on mingling with the other three nobles in the four shows of the royal city, cheating to eat and drink to make a living.
His teacher went on an adventure to find a dragon this time, but instead died in the wildfire, and all the magicians who set out together did not return. His teacher is a regular magician, with a name in the magic union and a position in the magic union, which is different from other magicians in the mainland.
All the magicians who are temporarily employed in the magic union have a life magic mark left in the magic union. Once the magician goes out of any danger and accidentally dies, the life mark left in the magic union will be immediately sensed.
Because of this, Bidaldo was sure that the teacher and the other magicians who went to find the dragon with him were dead.
But a magician, especially a powerful magician, is usually extremely wealthy! The magician's private property includes all kinds of valuable magic gems, magic crystals, and mithril and other precious magic materials. These things not only have precious magic value, but also can be exchanged for large sums in the world. wealth.
After the teacher dies, according to the rules of the magic union, the relics of the deceased magician can be handed over to the disciples of the magician to inherit - only the disciples with the formal magician qualification can inherit, and the magic apprentice has no right of inheritance.
Although the fortune left by Bidaldo's teacher was not too much, it was still considerable. But the problem is that before the magician went to find the dragon, he did not leave any will, and his apprentices had as many as five. Among them, except for two magic apprentices, there were three qualified magicians.
Bidaldo and the other two senior brothers had a complete fallout in order to compete for the teacher's inheritance - after all, the reason is because of those inheritances, because everyone knows that if they can get some precious magic items, they can make magic The strength of the teacher himself has immediately improved the boss!
Without a will, the power to distribute the inheritance falls into the hands of the magic union. Bidaldo has been running countless times for this matter recently, and today he ran to try to find the deacon mages, but he didn't want to meet Xi Ya here. this calamity.
