Du Wei didn't wait for him to finish, so he patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, I just asked casually. Oh, I knew he had gone back, and I happened to have something to ask him to bring news back. I forgot to tell the people in the castle when the day started. If this is the case, forget it."
Alpha frowned and didn't stop him. He just glanced at the cavalryman indifferently, and then led Du Wei into the carriage himself. Only then did people lead the horse over. Alpha didn't wear any armor, just a samurai outfit, not even carrying a sword, and walked at the front of the queue on his horse.
The Roland Continental Magic Guild is located in the west of the imperial capital. There is a huge circular square here, and the magic union is right in the center of the square. Different from what Du Wei thought in his mind before, the magician's base camp, which is famous for its legend and mystery, doesn't seem to have any "mysterious" atmosphere at all.
A circle of tall white columns was erected around the square, forming a diamond-shaped column as a whole, forming a magic circle that provides lighting throughout the year. Even in the dark, the magic union is brightly lit. It is said that this magical formation is bright, and it has not been extinguished for a single day since its establishment nine hundred and sixty years ago until today. The flame of magic is eternal, which represents the prosperity of magic civilization in this world!
At the same time, the detached position of the magic union, even during the war on the mainland, and during the two turmoil experienced by the empire, no force on any side dared to provoke the magic union.
The carriage drove slowly around the square. Just reduce the speed. There are six passages in different directions on the square, leading to the center of the square, a tall six-pointed star building.
A bird's-eye view from the sky. You will find that the circular square on the periphery, together with the theme building of the Magic Union solemnly in the square, just forms a very standard hexagram pattern.
Du Wei and his party entered from the lower left corner of the "six-pointed star". On the square, Du Wei got off the carriage, and surrounded by the guards of Luo Lin's house, Du Wei entered the main building of the pure white six-pointed star. .
The main building of the entire magic union has only three floors, but it is in the shape of a patio. In the center of the six-pointed star is a slightly smaller square, in the center of the square. It is a tall tower, the height is only a little lower than the white tower in the imperial palace, the tallest white tower in the imperial capital. According to the records in some documents that Du Wei has read, the height of the tower of the Magic Union is exactly 88 meters.
After getting off the carriage, next to the main building, there is a row of simple lounges. Alpha glanced at Du Wei, smiled and said, "Master, it should be very safe here, just go in, I'll wait here."
Du Wei glanced at Alpha: "Aren't you going in with me?"
Alpha smiled. There was a hint of pride in his eyes: "Master, you forgot that I am a warrior!"
On the continent of Roland, although martial arts and magic have a long history, but because of the prosperous civilization of magic, martial arts are in general. It has been in the position of being suppressed by magic for thousands of years.
Under normal circumstances, magicians of the same level are more effective than warriors of the same level in actual combat. For example, when Du Wei encountered assassination on the road before, a Clark mage could summon necromancer warriors, and easily killed several powerful killer warriors.
Magicians can use magic power to drive all kinds of magical powers of magical and powerful magic elements, which is something that warriors who rely solely on their own strength cannot compete with.
Although, in general theory, magicians are good at long-range attacks. The samurai is good at melee attacks. But it seems that from the perspective of the times, the power of long-range attacks is huge and represents the trend.
Although the magician is considered to be the biggest weakness in melee attack. But magic civilization can always find some ways to make up for it. For example, the terrible dead creatures called "Necromancer" summoned by Mage Clark can provide close protection around the magician, and others can also use some defensive enchantments and other magical means to make up for their own weaknesses.
The combination of all kinds makes the magician have a huge advantage over the warrior in the comparison of the same level.
If it weren't for the fact that it is too difficult to cultivate a magician, and the training of a warrior is much easier than a magician... I am afraid that the warrior is in the position. It will be more embarrassing.
After all, an ordinary person. Even if the innate talent is a bit weaker, as long as you work hard, you can practice martial arts. Even if you can't reach the highland realm, it's not impossible to become a low-level warrior.
But magic is different. If you don't have magic talent, you will never be a magician in your life, and you won't even be able to pass the level of the lowest level of magician!
The power of magic is huge, but the difficulty of cultivation has caused the bottleneck of this profession. Therefore, the number of magicians is scarce, which makes the warrior department always inferior, but fortunately, there are a large number of them, and they can faintly compete with magic.
However, the bits are different after all.
For example, the magic union can be compared with the temple, and is considered to be one of the most powerful forces on the mainland.
In comparison, the so-called "Knight Association" is much less imposing. The loose management and being suppressed by the magic union made it impossible to breathe, making the knight association's position in the imperial capital far inferior to the magic union.
However, the warriors still have their own pride after all. As a senior warrior, Alpha strictly abides by the dignity and integrity of his senior warrior...
On Roland Continent, high-ranking warriors have a life creed that is almost like a motto, and it is unknown when it was passed down.
"Samurai, don't join the magic union!"
Of course, with the decline of the ranks of the warriors, there are gradually not many people who abide by these ethics, and only some advanced warriors will continue to abide by these creeds. And some ordinary warriors, under the pressure of survival, have long forgotten these prides...
For example, some mages even recruited some warriors as close bodyguards in order to make up for their lack of close combat ability. In fact, when fighting, being protected by warriors around them can greatly make up for the weakness of close combat.
And those warriors recruited by magicians as retinues are often despised by high-ranking warriors like Alpha.
Of course Du Wei knew about these allusions, so Alpha refused to enter. Du Wei understood what he meant and didn't say much.
Afterwards, Du Wei tidied up his clothes a little, and walked into the main six-pointed star building by himself.
To Du Wei's slight surprise, the gate of the Magic Union actually... there is no gate!
It looked like an empty "doorway", but there was no door panel. Just walked over, but could faintly feel a wave of magic power sweeping across his body. The magic bachelor's badge on Du Wei's chest immediately aroused the induction, and then the A trace of magic fluctuated before it faded away.
Du Wei knew that this was probably the magic circle of the Magic Union. Although there is no "door", the magic union is not a place where anyone can enter!
Only official magicians, wearing their own magician badge, can enter the gate of the magic union!
Of course, there are very few magicians on the mainland, and there are only a few hundred genuine magicians in the whole mainland. In such a huge magic guild, there must always be someone to do ordinary work. Those noble magicians are mostly obsessed with research. , Daily work needs people to do it. This led to the emergence of a new group of people on the edge of the magician profession in Roland Continent.
Magic Apprentice.
Such people often have a little bit more magical talent than ordinary people, but they cannot become a magician, even a first-level magician is very difficult. Such people are often recruited by magicians to become assistants and apprentices, which are actually jobs similar to servants.
In addition to the magic apprentices privately recruited by magicians, there will also be many magic apprentices officially recruited by the magic unions in the branches of the magicians unions across the mainland. These people undertake a lot of internal daily miscellaneous work in the magic union, such as file preservation, repair of magic materials, and so on.
Du Wei walked into the main building of the Magic Union, and immediately felt something different.
Here, on the ceiling above the head, there are no building materials to be seen. There is a void on the ceiling, and some floating clouds are faintly floating on it. Among the floating clouds, the sun, moon, and stars are all shining brightly, forming a A magnificent and weird spectacle—of course, this is also a scene created by magic.
People coming and going around, everyone who can see, all wear robes in the style of a magician.
Of course, the colors are different.
The low-level and middle-level magicians are gray robes, and the high-level magicians wear white robes. And most of them, wearing silver robes, are all magic apprentices.
In the hall Du Wei walked into, most of the people around him were magic apprentices wearing silver robes, and occasionally one or two magicians in gray robes could be seen. As for the white robes, they were all senior members of the magic union. , Naturally not walking up and down the hall.
Du Wei was wearing a black robe, which immediately attracted many surprised eyes.
