"What about you?" The strong man was about to retort, but when he saw the person coming behind him clearly, he couldn't say a word.
Several other people lowered their heads deeply at this moment, as if it would be blasphemy to look at each other even more.
Throughout Arthur's thousands of years of history, the concept of "respecting the strong" has been completely rooted in people's hearts.
It's okay if you don't know, but if you know and still provoke rashly, usually such a short-sighted person won't live long enough to take risks.
Although the strong man could not see anything expensive in Antinoya's robes, he was wearing the same cloak as the man in front of him who was pretending to be his brother.
However, this woman wears a completely different "mage badge".
When mage apprentices are promoted to official mage, they will receive a mage badge with "concentric circles" on it. It is all proof of the identity of the mage, including deposits in the association, accumulated contributions, etc., which are recorded in the badge. Once lost, you have to apply to the headquarters for remote backup restoration, which is quite troublesome.
However, its greatest significance is that it allows ordinary people who cannot cast spells to recognize the level of the mage in front of them at a glance, and understand whether they should stay away or kneel down.
Every time the mages advance to a new level, the badge will automatically trigger a new ring.
All the rings will merge automatically until you reach the legendary level.
Antinoya, who was in front of the mature man at this moment, was wearing this legendary mage badge.
With a sharp eye, he has touched the relics of his ancestors countless times, and also dreams that one day he can wear the same badge. So he judged at a glance that this was definitely a real mage badge, which instantly filled him with both fear and excitement.
He was hesitating about how to establish a relationship with the other party.
"Let's go." At this time, Antinoya walked vaguely from the shadows, approached Zhao Xu, and even looked at Zhao Xu's height, as if she was not used to it.
"Your Majesty the Special Envoy." Suddenly an idea came to the middle-aged man.
He knew that he could not bribe this legendary mage.
But the other party was obviously concerned about the man next to him who had just pretended to be his brother.
Before getting involved in Frost Dew Town, he had read the list of all the outstanding young adventurers in Frost Dew Town, and this man was definitely not among them.
It means that the other party is probably an outsider who came here for this auction, so he immediately thought of the most valuable "+6 intelligence scarf" in the auction.
Although the market price can exceed 50,000 or 60,000 gold coins, but what does that mean in the face of the friendship and even appreciation of a legendary mage
The strong man immediately took out this magic item from his pocket. It looked very simple, just a simple thin rope with a gemstone in the middle.
The mage who originally invented this magic item was too lazy to even bother with the basic design of this most popular magic item among mages, and had no processing skills at all.
"I just hit it off with this gentleman, and I'm thinking of giving this '+6 intelligence headscarf' as a meeting gift. Please accept it."
The middle-aged man immediately shouted out, his heart pounding at the same time.
He knew that this was probably the most cost-effective deal he had made in these years.
Even if he loses contact with the two of them, he will not feel any pressure from the family.
The "favor" unintentionally owed by a legendary mage is simply immeasurable.
Moreover, a man in his prime who has a deep understanding of human nature knows that if a "+6 intelligence headscarf" is given to a legendary mage, even if it is used as a gift for a large-scale celebration, it is completely qualified. Only some royal families can even afford such a gift.
But if he hurriedly gave it to the other party, the other party would just reject it because he was not qualified to give it. Only by giving gifts to the people they like and giving to the people they care about, with this kind of mentality of loving everyone, can you successfully give gifts.
However.
The strong man did not receive Antinoya's warm smile, even though he could not clearly see the other person's face under his hood.
"Should I send it away myself? Is it your turn to be troublesome?" Antinoya said indifferently.
"A turban dug out of a grave. I'm afraid I'll have nightmares at night even if I wear it."
It was also the first time that Zhao Xu heard Antinoya quarrel with an outsider in front of him, and he could only suppress his laughter.
Antinoya, who laughed happily, also directly took Zhao Xu's hand, and the two people immediately activated the teleportation technique and disappeared.
A few people were left messy in the wind. ���
It wasn't until a burst of white light drifted away that Zhao Xu noticed that he and Antinoya had teleported to an uninhabited wilderness. At this time, the surroundings were eerily silent, with no human voice at all and only the noisy cold wind in the valley from time to time.
There was no trace of fire in the distant sky, and it was obvious that they were no longer near Shuanglu Town.
In fact, Zhao Xu did not expect that Antinoya would show up to look for him so directly.
At this time, he looked at the girl who appeared alone, but it was a pity that the strength was too strong, otherwise Zhao Xu would suspect that he was suffering from some kind of functional disorder if he was alone in the wilderness without the slightest reverie.
"Teacher, what happened with that transfer order just now?" Zhao Xu asked.
In fact, the few people just now were shocked by Antinoya's status as a legendary mage, but they did not realize the order that Antinoya read.
This type of numbered transfer order, divided according to levels, can recruit the participation of different levels of forces.
Needless to say, the previous time period, the second level, is enough to require the unconditional cooperation of all mages and local branches present, and the association will provide corresponding compensation afterwards.
Even if the legendary mage is present, he still has to give some face and help.
Recalling that Antinoya would not appear for no reason, Zhao Xu was worried that he had been involved in some big storm again, actually involving such a level of transfer order.
"Oh, I was just afraid that there were some old antiques in there, and I had to argue with me about whether they were there or not. I was too lazy to talk nonsense, so I just made up an order. I didn't expect that they were not tough at all, and they got cold feet when they saw my identity. ." Antinoya chuckled.
Zhao Xu declined to comment.
Although the punishment is not legendary, forging the high-level transfer order of the Mage Association is a top-notch matter in the world, okay
Antinoya was very satisfied with Zhao Xu's expression of concern for her but unable to speak.
Suddenly, she gave up her plan to tell Zhao Xu the truth. In fact, she had a permanent "No. 233" transfer order in her hand.
She only needs to modify the previous head-up time when she needs to use it. And this transfer order can definitely be checked by going to the association, so after the association's transfer order is issued on the 232nd, it will jump directly to the 234th.
"But don't worry, I came to you tonight for business." At this time, Antinoya finally returned to normal work, looking a little more serious.
"Um?"
"Tonight is mainly about taking you to meet someone and then convincing them to stop."
Although Antinoya didn't say anything in detail, what the middle-aged man mentioned immediately came to Zhao Xu's mind -
Possessing "treasures" can transform into the mysterious existence of "old hag".
That was an extraordinary gut reaction.
"It seems that those members of the Tust family have just told you the inside story about the unusual 'old hag' in Shuanglu Town?" Antinoya said.
Zhao Xu nodded, "Is that true?"
But he didn't expect that the other party's level would be so high that Antinoya would take action himself
According to what that person said, wasn't he the lucky one who got the treasure
Zhao Xu instantly understood the other party's information, which was probably second-hand.
"Teacher, is that also a legend?" Zhao Xu asked tentatively.
At this time, Antinoya showed a headache for the first time, as if she was physically and mentally exhausted, "If it is a legend, it will be easier to solve."
Zhao Xu immediately told Antinoya the information the other party had described to him.
Antinoya immediately shook her head and sighed, "The Tust family has fallen really fast. No wonder they have reduced themselves to coveting the meager assets of ordinary people. It has only been a hundred years since there was a legendary mage, and they already don't even have such secrets. Out of reach.”
Zhao Xu didn't bother to point out at this time that the assets of the Chamber of Commerce, which could not be carried by more than ten or twenty carriages, were not considered meager. But he didn't expect that Antinoya actually knew about the other party's impersonation of a descendant, and couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, is there no consequence for the other party's doing this?"
Antinoya frowned slightly at this moment, "The consequences?"
It was as if she had never thought about this word, "The owner of the tomb in my memory also had several families of enemies during his lifetime. At that time, it was just as easy as death as if a lamp went out. Now that the Tust family recognizes this ancestor, Naturally, you will have to bear such a layer of karma when you look back."
"Let's go, the nearest territory is not far from here." Antinoya said, while also picking up her lace robe and walking gently in the mountain spring. .
"Teacher, who is this person?" Seeing that Antinoya didn't dare to knock on the door openly, Zhao Xu was somewhat curious.
"It's a long story." Antinoya suddenly felt as melancholy as Zhao Xu.
"An ordinary shepherdess, but also an extremely lucky man."
"When Ernest, the king of Austrian law, first appeared in Arthur, this girl happened to be herding sheep on that grassland. She stared blankly at Ernest who appeared mysteriously, thinking he was a god. Come into the world. Then she knelt down towards the future king and kissed the toes of his shoes."
"So she became the first believer of that existence." As she spoke, Antinoya turned back to look at Zhao Xu, with a playful look in her eyes.
"If she hadn't disliked learning magic as too tiring and had to take a shortcut to become a warlock, she would have been the second goddess of magic."
