Here, I have to talk about the composition of wizard power in the main continent.
As a main continent rich in resources, compared with the east coast, the number of wizards is advantageous, many times more. For this reason, coupled with the popularity of magic knights, the status of low-level wizards is not very high.
For example, here in the main continent, a wizard apprentice with no background has a much lower status than a noble, because it is difficult for them to fight against well-trained magic knights.
Only by being promoted to a first-level wizard can one be qualified to be on an equal footing with the nobles, and these nobles generally refer to small nobles or middle-level nobles - powerful nobles still disdain first-level wizards.
Therefore, in the main continent, wizard apprentices and first-level wizards are considered the lowest level of wizards.
Only by becoming a second-level wizard can one be considered the middle level of wizards. They will receive a certain amount of respect anywhere on the mainland, but it is just respect.
A single second-level wizard is still a little behind in trying to get some big nobles to obey orders. Because the great nobles can afford enough magic knights, even if they are just ordinary magic knights with three lines, when the number reaches a certain level, it will be enough to kill the second-level wizards.
But when you reach the third level wizard, everything changes.
The power of the third-level wizard has reached a certain level. If you want to confront him head-on, you must have enough seven-stripe magic knights. However, it is not so easy to recruit the seven-marked magic knights. Therefore, in addition to a few top nobles, the big nobles must also be in awe of the third-level wizards to avoid being decapitated by the opponent.
Third-level wizards are considered to be the highest level among wizards in the main continent. Even in a certain wizard organization, they are still a small group of people belonging to the ruling class.
Above that, there are level four wizards, which belong to the top level.
Yes, top layer.
Every time a wizard level increases, the difficulty is beyond imagination. Especially when the level three wizard is upgraded to a level four wizard, it is even more difficult.
On the east coast, the most powerful wizards are only level three wizards, but on the main continent, with massive resources and higher density of free energy elements, this level has only been raised by one level to level four.
People who can become level four wizards are basically rare in the main continent. Every such person is either a peerless genius, or the leader of a powerful wizard organization, and is an absolute powerhouse among wizards.
As for the higher level five wizards, they only exist in rumors. There are often rumors that an elder of a certain wizard organization went into seclusion and successfully broke through to a fifth-level wizard, or that a big shot from a hundred years ago suddenly appeared and became a fifth-level wizard, but these have not been confirmed.
This is the main continent.
The bottom level of first-level wizards, the middle level of second-level wizards, the top level of third-level wizards, and the top level of fourth-level wizards.
A strength framework that is one level higher than the East Coast.
Richard was a little confused about this power framework. According to what he learned from the wizard book "Monroe Chapter", the wizard's limit should be level nine.
But now, in the most prosperous main continent, the limit is only a fourth-level wizard, which is far behind. There is undoubtedly a huge fault in the middle, or even more than one fault.
What exactly is the reason may not be known until the truth of the world is revealed.
The thing that needs to be solved now is how to answer Marquis Vian's question: what level does he belong to.
Marquis Vian is almost a middle-level second-level wizard in the main continent's wizard power level.
Therefore, if he answers that it is the same level, the other party will try to make further contact.
And if the answer is a lower level, the other party is likely to say a few polite words and then send the guest off. As for the previously promised supply of glass to the glass factory, various reasons may be used to shirk it. For example, workers are making trouble, there is a shortage of materials, etc.
After all, this is a very real world, and promises may be important or worthless.
Of course, he also had other options.
For example, tell Marquis Vian that he is a higher wizard level.
Judging from his current combat power that can crush most third-level wizards, there is no big problem in calling himself a peak third-level wizard, or an ordinary fourth-level wizard. Presumably, Marquis Vian would be very surprised to accept this answer.
But having said that, this is somewhat in conflict with his always cautious approach of hiding himself. He came to Marquis Vian just to buy some glass, and there was really no need to expose all his strength.
After thinking for a while, Richard answered.
"My wizard level?" Richard asked, "Marquis Vian, you can think of me as a peak level two wizard, or someone who has just been promoted to a level three wizard."
"The peak of the second-level wizard? Or has he just been promoted to the level of the third-level wizard?" Marquis Weian repeated what Richard said and said half-jokingly, "Why, the wizard Richard can't even determine his true level. What? How do you tell me it’s a range?”
This is of course also a test.
After hearing this, Richard replied calmly: "Marquis Wei'an, you have to understand, because I am not a common wizard. I prefer research to fighting, so it is difficult to achieve a real fighting level." There is some fluctuation in the definition.”
"So, Master Wizard Richard is a scholar wizard?" Marquis Wei'an suddenly looked awe-inspiring.
"A scholar wizard?" Richard asked, "You can also say that."
"Then, Master Wizard Richard, have you ever thought about testing your true fighting ability?" Marquis Wei'an leaned forward slightly, his face full of enthusiasm, "If Master Wizard Richard wants to do this, If so, my people can help."
This is a further step of temptation and the real purpose of temptation.
Naturally, Marquis Wei'an would not completely believe what Richard said. Everything had to be proven.
Richard knew this very well and knew that even if the other party was not allowed to succeed, the other party would test it from many aspects in the future. He simply said: "Then I'll trouble Marquis Wei'an."
"No trouble, no trouble, it's all as it should be, so that I can see it." Marquis Vian continued to smile, turned his head, and shouted to the outside of the living room: "Sauron!"
"grown ups!"
In response, a strong man wearing black armor walked in with heavy steps, walked to the living room, knelt down on one knee and saluted.
You can see that a strong man named Sauron is about 1.9 meters tall. He has explosive muscles under the iron armor and is very powerful. The surface of the armor is covered with dense magic patterns, exuding vague mana fluctuations. Once activated, it will explode with powerful combat power.
The other party was clearly a magic knight.
