Meribald is 367 years old and a high ranking mage, although he prefers to be called a scholar.
Due to the power of spells, Meribald, who was nearly 400 years old, still had a lot of vitality, and his skin was as elastic as when he was a boy, but his hair was all gray, but it added a touch of wisdom to his whole body.
As the head of the Mage Guild in the capital of Dambreth, he has held this position for more than a hundred years. He has handled countless major events, and has awarded many medals to talented mages, or given trials to those notorious mages.
Up to now, he originally thought that his Gujing Wubo's mind would not be affected anymore, but he didn't expect that he would still be severely shocked today.
Meribald straightened his glasses, and rubbed his fingers against the uneven marks on the certificate.
There is no problem with the magic mark! This was the conclusion his rich experience told him, but the result represented by this incident made him a little horrified.
"Proof of nobility! The letter of proof from Mage Ernest! There is no problem with the final inspection documents! In this way, this noble boy who is only sixteen years old is really a tenth-level mage? Azuth is here... "
Meribald looked at the boy in front of him, his mouth slowly opened wide.
With this age and talent, could it be... that the [Legendary Mage] of the Kingdom will be born under my witness
"Excuse me, Chairman? Is there a problem?"
The question from the young mage brought Meribald back from his reverie.
"When... of course not! Congratulations! Master Leylin!"
Meribald sighed secretly, and signed his magic mark on the mage level document, which will be archived later, proving Leylin's mage status.
"From today onwards, you are an intermediate mage certified by the mage guild! May Azuth bless you..."
Although this was not the god he believed in, Leylin still bowed his head respectfully to show his humility.
Handed a mage robe with [Dust Removal] and other badges and documents to Leylin. During the ceremony, Meribald saw the love for magic and the pursuit of truth from the eyes of the other party— This once appeared in his eyes when he was young!
"Perhaps, only this kind of person is truly capable of hitting the legendary realm and fulfilling our dreams..."
Meribald sighed in his heart, with enthusiasm on his face, he kindly reminded: "Master Leylin! Although you have already entered the ranks of middle-level mages, I still suggest that you study in the mage guild in the capital for a period of time. Here are some latest spell ideas and templates, which are very important for you now... "
"This is exactly what I want! Your Excellency, President!"
Leylin gave a mage salute to this high-ranking mage, his movements were unbelievably smooth.
"I didn't expect things to become a little troublesome. It seems that my talent is still a bit outstanding... However, I won't be able to attract other guys..."
Leylin thought with a wry smile in his heart.
Sixteen-year-old tenth-level mage! This talent seems to be a bit scary. After verifying the level, several old men immediately seemed to have a stroke, and even directly pulled the president out.
But fortunately, he was already known as a magic genius, and Ernest had witnessed all his progress, which also avoided a lot of trouble.
As for the devil's blood dagger and other things that are easily reminiscent of evil, Leylin didn't bring it with him at all.
"The tenth-level mage proves that even if he travels abroad in the future, it is enough to get preferential treatment..."
Leylin played with the mage badge in his hand, on it was the silver moon and stars, full of a hazy beauty, and bound to the mage himself, outsiders could not imitate it.
"Leylin Faolan!!!"
At the gate of the mage guild, several people with the sign of a senior inspector stopped Leylin surrounded by a group of guards.
In the opponent's team, Leylin also saw a few priests of the God of Justice. At this moment, the opponent was looking at him with the eyes of a judge.
"Come here now? It's a little late... Or are you afraid of the power of the Mage Guild?"
"What's the matter?"
Leylin smiled and asked the inspector in front of him.
"You are involved in a crime outside the sea, and I need your assistance in the investigation!" the inspector said blankly.
Judges, magistrates, and police officers who advocate justice are the main source of believers of the God of Justice. It is not surprising that the other side has the intelligence network of the Church of the God of Justice to support Leylin.
"What if I say no?" Leylin looked at the other party jokingly.
"You have no right to refuse!" The inspector waved his hand, and several guards immediately surrounded him.
"You guys..." Leylin's gaze was like lightning, and his voice raised a few degrees.
"Do you dare to arrest innocent nobles in the capital? And even insult a noble mid-level mage in front of the mages' guild!"
noble! Mage! As soon as the identities of these two superiors were revealed, many guards retreated in fear.
In their simple thinking, this must be a battle between big shots, why should they get involved? Aren't you afraid of harming the fish in the pond
Seeing this scene, the inspector frowned, but before he could take the next step, a burst of fierce hoofbeats came.
"His Majesty has orders! Send Sir Leylin Faolan to the palace for an audience!"
A palace knight in gorgeous armor dismounted from his steed and showed the inspector a document with the king's seal on it: "His Majesty the Great King will hold a hearing for this, and specially summoned Di Viscount Mu came to testify..."
For some reason, looking at the calm Leylin, the inspector had a bad feeling in his heart, but he couldn't organize this matter, otherwise he would declare war on the law he was loyal to.
"Did you know... Between black and white, there is always a gray area, Mr Inspector?"
Leylin got on his horse, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"With the testimony of Viscount Dim, His Majesty the King will definitely not let you go..." The inspector's face changed continuously, and he finally chose to believe it.
"I'll wait and see..."
Leylin smiled lightly, and disappeared at the end of the road together with the knight who delivered the order.
"Let's go and wait in front of the palace gate, I don't believe it..." the inspector bit his lip, and finally waved his hand resolutely.
Obviously, his uneasiness grew stronger.
"It's a pity... If Llorente and the others can arrive in time..." The priest of the God of Justice sighed: "Even so, the crime will be judged and sanctioned!!!"
…
What happened next was like a stage play.
Many characters appeared one by one under Leylin's hands like puppets on strings, but the evil still had the last laugh.
With the personal testimony of the victim, Viscount Dim, and the pillow wind of the Marchioness Louisa, Leylin didn't even open his mouth.
In this kind of thing, you will lose in the end, and you must maintain the modesty and aloofness of the nobility.
The inspector's last insistence was shattered by a statement from the king.
"The murder of the Marquis of the Golden Thorn Flower in the Outer Sea was indeed a crime committed by the Barbarian Pirates after investigation, and the captains of the pirates, Ogold and Thielen, are now wanted..."
"Why? Why did it become like this?"
The Inspector fell to his knees on the ground with tears in his eyes and began to cry choked up.
"Because what happened this time was a misunderstanding! In fact, I am very proud of the fact that the kingdom has a dedicated inspector like you..."
Leylin just came out at this time. Hearing this, he saluted the inspector very gracefully, full of a gesture of smiling away his gratitude and enmity.
At this time, there are two more titles on his head, one is the status of court mage, and the other is the title of honorary viscount.
It's useless, but it sounds nicer, which is what you get after making the king happy.
Even though the other party was very wise when he was young, but now he is obviously addicted to sex, as long as the other party's authority is not touched, the other party will not react at all. To deal with such an old man, Leylin has a lot of ways.
What made him even more happy was that after this statement was issued in plain text, no one would trouble him with the matter of pirates in the future, and by the way, it would also add trouble to the barbarian pirate group, so why not do it
"Why… "
Seeing the handsome Leylin smiling freely in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, even talking and laughing with Viscount Dim, as if they were brothers, the Inspector fell into great confusion.
At this moment, his faith is even in danger of being broken.
"My child... Justice is lonely. The path of those who insist on justice must be full of thorns, but we believe that the final victory must belong to us!"
The priest's warm hand rested on the Inspector's shoulder, which became his only support at the moment.
"God of justice... huh..."
On the other side, Leylin's expression remained unchanged, but he secretly sneered in his heart.
…
Outside the capital, Lorente and his party, who had gone through a difficult trek at this time, finally saw the city wall of the capital.
"Finally arrived. According to intelligence, the other party is in the city. This time he can't escape!"
Lorente's face was full of excitement, but also a little bit of anger.
In the previous Dark Forest Fort, they were first stumbled by the devil's believers. Compared with pirates, the activities of devil's believers are obviously more important, but after a lot of work, they found that it was a false alarm. Not only that, they Also consumes a lot of time! Even let the original goal of this trip go all the way to the capital!
Fortunately, with the information network of the temple, the other party has nowhere to escape.
"Get ready to accept the sanctions! Leylin Farrell!"
Although they haven't met each other yet, Lorente has already outlined the image of the other party in his heart: cunning, cruel, and full of evil! This kind of nobleman should be sent to the stake to be burned alive! !
