The so-called archmage is actually a master-level spellcaster, that is, a magician who has reached lv10. ▲∴▲∴,
Master-level spellcasters are rare in the human world, and this is already the top level of the pyramid among professionals.
Although Mark, who was killed by Liang Lidong and others, was also a lv10 professional, the path to upgrade and grow as a priest is different from that of ordinary professionals. As long as the pastor flatters the ass of the God's Mansion and pats it hard, he can rise to lv10 within ten years. This is a very fast growth rate, but it is very difficult for the pastor to continue to grow, because after lv10, every time he improves Level, need to consume a lot of divine power, so generally speaking, there will not be many priests above lv10 in each divine religion, unless that person has really made a lot of contributions to the divine religion.
In the human world, the level of professionals outside the divine arts department generally does not exceed lv9, and professionals who reach lv10 are quite rare, which is already the level of a genius.
Time is the biggest cheating tool. In theory, as long as there is enough time, everyone can become a legend, or even a demigod. But the biggest factor restricting human professionals is precisely time.
Ordinary professionals only know that if they keep exercising, their strength will gradually increase, but the stronger the strength, the more difficult it is to break through the bottleneck. They don't know how much the things they do will improve themselves, and they don't know how long they need to exercise before their strength will improve. After their strength reaches a certain level, they must go through years of training and accumulation to improve their strength.
In this long, day-by-day aging time, they can't see where their end is at all. Many people are lazy or even shrink back, so many geniuses stay at lv9, so they can reach lv10 magic Teacher, not only a genius, but also a tough enough heart.
Going to a banquet hosted by a genius, Liang Lidong guessed it wouldn't be too boring. And a magician who can reach lv10 should have enough theoretical knowledge. If there is a chance to communicate with the other party, maybe there will be unexpected joy.
...
...
After about two hours. Liang Lidong appeared in a garden with Jessica.
The garden was brightly lit, not only with candles as the light source, but also a special kind of magic spar scattered around the garden, exuding a bright light blue luster. This kind of fist-sized magic spar is very expensive, one gold coin. In fact, the price is not a problem. The real problem is that to light up this kind of magic spar, you must have more than 9 points of willpower, and it is possible to resonate inside the magic spar.
And there are not many people who have 9 points of willpower and understand the magic resonance element.
Willpower is the main attribute of priests. There are many priests with more than 9 points of willpower. The problem is that their power comes from the gods, and they are not trained by themselves, so they cannot precisely control their mental power. Let them face the magic crystal. The stone resonates. It's like peeling an egg with an excavator.
So... Normally speaking, those who use magic spar are magicians with good strength.
There were already many guests in the garden, the most conspicuous of which was a female professional with red hair and wearing a big red low-cut dress. Liang Lidong saw that the system marked her as a lv6 professional.
Originally, the most conspicuous person among all the guests was this female professional, but Liang Lidong's arrival attracted everyone's attention to him.
Bright golden hair, red magic robes. There is also the impression bonus brought by the "noble temperament", so that everyone's eyes will stay on him for a long time.
Liang Lidong didn't bring gifts to the door, but as a spell caster, his arrival was the best gift.
Jessica stood by his side as a servant. The little girl's clothes were very ordinary, compared to other noble women, she was so shabby that she was no different from a beggar. Appearing in such a dress at a banquet, it stands to reason that it is a kind of contempt for other people, but no one has any objections to it, because her master is a spell caster. And it appears to be a noble spellcaster.
It doesn't matter whether a dog is good-looking or not, the important thing is whose dog it is!
Liang Lidong behaved calmly and indifferently in front of many eyes, but Jessica was not so courageous. For her, for someone who was a beggar two days ago, all the people around her are better dressed and nobler than her, and she is afraid that if she says something wrong here or does something wrong What should I do if I embarrass my master
As if seeing her worry, Liang Lidong touched her little head and said, "Don't worry, the people here won't do anything to you. Even if you beat someone here, they won't dare to say anything. You are now My maid, I don’t dare to say that I will let you be unscrupulous and arrogant, but at least I can make you stand upright and be a man.”
Liang Lidong's words were a bit profound to Jessica who was only eleven years old. She couldn't quite understand it, but she was clear that she was being protected by the master, which made her feel at ease.
The middle-aged butler that Liang Lidong met not long ago appeared beside him, and he respectfully brought Liang Lidong to the long table in the middle, and let him sit at the head of the guests.
The red-haired female professional looked at this scene, her eyes were a little perplexed, because usually, this position belongs to her.
However, she didn't fully express her emotions, because spellcasters were indeed nobler than a pure physics profession like her, and the other party was probably a nobleman.
When the people around saw this, they had the mentality of watching a show, because the red-haired girl had a bad temper, and the last thing she wanted was to be at a disadvantage or be looked down upon by others. It's just that she endured it this time, which disappointed the people around her, but they also understood that the idiot turned against a spell caster who seemed to be a nobleman in public.
And the redhead is clearly not an idiot.
There were many delicacies and fruits on the long table. Liang Lidong picked a bunch of grapes and ate them one by one. At the same time, he threw one or two to Jessica from time to time.
And Jessica is worthy of canine blood, she subconsciously landed on all fours, squatting like a dog, every time Liang Lidong threw a grape, she would jump up and catch the fruit directly with her mouth, Then swallow it in your stomach.
What a novel way of playing... At this time, many people saw the two small canine teeth in Jessica's mouth. Some knowledgeable people knew Jessica's approximate identity, and they wondered if they were also buying one in the slave market. The maid of werewolf blood came back, and it was interesting to watch.
Jessica quickly noticed that she was being watched by many people, and she was a little nervous at first. But when she saw the redhead, she suddenly smiled at him.
This caught the redhead for a moment.
Liang Lidong also found out, and he asked, "Do you know that woman?"
"I've heard of her name." Jessica walked to Liang Lidong and explained in a low voice: "Her name is the same as mine. Both are called Jessica, but she is much stronger than me. She is the rose mercenary group." The head of the group is also the adopted daughter of the great mage Nietzsche. Besides... she is very kind, when I was a beggar yesterday, she threw me a silver coin."
Liang Lidong paused. He turned his head to look at Jessica: "You were beaten half to death yesterday, probably because of that silver coin."
Jessica's eyes widened: "Master, how do you know, did you see me being chased by those people?"
"You don't need to guess." Liang Lidong snorted: "What's the difference between a little beggar holding a silver coin and an ordinary person holding a pile of gold to parade through the market? They are all looking for death."
As much ability as you have, you can eat as much wealth as you have. Liang Lidong is a professional, a spellcaster, and in the eyes of everyone, he is a nobleman, so he has a lot of gold. Others also take it for granted, because it matches his status. But on the other hand, he does not dare to deploy a 'large permanent teleportation array' in Reed Village now because he is not very powerful now. If he deploys it, within three months, Reed Village will surely suffer catastrophe.
Even a spellcaster like Liang Lidong has to abide by this unwritten 'rule' virtually, let alone a little beggar.
Liang Lidong is not quite sure now, the other party throwing a silver coin to Jessica is out of kindness. But he was ignorant of the world and did bad things with good intentions. Or the other party simply wanted to kill Jessica as a little pastime.
If it's the latter possibility, Liang Lidong doesn't mind finding an opportunity to teach the other party how to be a 'human'.
Soon everyone in the garden came together. At this time, the archmage came out of the mansion, and he made a gesture of please sit down, and everyone in the garden immediately found a seat suitable for their identities and sat down in silence.
The banquet in Danyang City is slightly different from that in Dongfeng City. There are seats in the banquet in Danyang City, but not in Dongfeng City. Danyang City pays more attention to class differences in the banquet. But Winterwind City pays more attention to the atmosphere of the banquet.
This is in line with the characteristics of the two cities. Danyang City is an inland city with a long history, so it is naturally more traditional, while Dongfeng City is a border city, and the owner of the city is even a soldier himself, so naturally it is generally informal.
Grand Master Nietzsche sat down opposite Liang Lidong. He was an obese old man, and his visual weight should be about two hundred catties.
He nodded to Liang Lidong first, then looked around, and said, "Today is my adoptive daughter Jessica's birthday, she is now in her twenties, this banquet is mainly to help her celebrate. In addition That is, I am very honored to have invited the famous Red Priest. Perhaps many of you do not know the prestige of the Red Priest, but you only need to know that he led someone to kill an idiot priest in a certain temple. That priest and I There is a bit of old grievance, so now His Excellency the Red Priest is my friend and my guest."
Nietzsche picked up a wine glass with his chubby hands, and said to Liang Lidong, "Thank you, Your Excellency the Red Priest."
Liang Lidong finally understood why the other party found out his identity so quickly. It turned out that there was such a relationship.
He also picked up the glass, gestured to Nietzsche, and then drank the fruit wine in the glass. At the same time, he quietly took out a magic scroll from the space backpack and put it under his feet. After a while, this scroll turned into a faint blue light and penetrated into Liang Lidong's body.
This is magic detoxification... Liang Lidong doesn't completely trust the other party. He can't have the intention of harming others, but he can't do without the heart of defense.
Detoxification is a low-level magic, and the fluctuation of magic power is small, but now it is covered by the exaggerated magic ripple of the magic spar. Although Nietzsche is already a lv10 powerhouse, he still hasn't noticed Liang Lidong's little tricks.
After introducing Liang Lidong, Nietzsche started to introduce other people. When he introduced Jessica Ruth, the girl in red, he stood up and presented a gorgeous and exaggerated wristband to his adopted daughter in public.
The bracelet was made of pure gold, and four rubies were equidistantly set, with beautiful lines between the gems.
Liang Lidong looked at the wristband, his eyes moved slightly, and then he showed a meaningful smile.
"This wristband is a magical equipment that took me 60 days to make. It is not only beautiful, but also has a built-in protective enchantment." Nietzsche introduced to everyone: "When the holder is in danger, it will be activated automatically. It can withstand two fatal attacks per day, and then needs to be recharged for 24 hours before it can continue to be used."
"Thank you, father-in-law!" Jessica Ruth hugged Nietzsche with tears in her eyes, then she raised her golden wristband high, so that everyone could look at it more carefully, and finally she was envied by many guests In his eyes, he put the wristband on his hand.
Then came the free time. Jessica Ruth became the most eye-catching focus of the banquet, no matter the men were vying to dance and talk with her.
Nietzsche watched Jessica dancing in the garden with loving eyes. At the same time, he was chatting with Liang Lidong, and the two had some attempts to communicate on magic theory.
In terms of theoretical knowledge, Liang Lidong was much better than Nietzsche, but he hid his clumsiness and showed his knowledge of magic theory a little bit, but cleverly made himself look worse than the other party.
Nietzsche had a good chat, and Liang Lidong was also very happy. He was happy that he watched a monkey show.
After the banquet, Liang Lidong took little Jessica back to the hotel.
On the quiet road, little Jessica said enviously: "Captain Lucy is really amazing, she is very strong, and she also has a foster father who dotes on her and loves her."
"Strong strength? She is a joke. Her strength is supported by the magic equipment all over her body." Liang Lidong's voice was not loud, but there was a sense of sarcasm: "That woman was dazzled by vanity. , I didn’t find out at all that not only does that wristband have a magic barrier, but there is also a hypnotic magic hidden in it, a hypnotic magic that is remotely controlled.”
Little Jessica was stunned for a moment: "Hypnosis magic? Master, you mean, the archmage is going to be bad for Captain Lucy?"
"Yes, at first I also thought that the way Nietzsche looked at Lucy was the way an elder looks at a younger generation, but my intuition told me something was wrong." Liang Lidong chuckled: "Then when I saw that wristband, I understood Now, the way Nietzsche looked at Lucy was looking at a pig that he had raised and was ready to slaughter now."
"She's a pig!"(.)
