Versatile Mage: I became the Great Mofan

Chapter 145. Double Guard Pavilion Challenge
"Qianxun, how come you haven't changed your temper after all these years? You just ordered them to leave without even asking them?" A sturdy old man with a beard came out, looking glorious. If it weren't for his gray hair and beard, his spirit and vigor would not be much worse than that of a young man.

Although a magician's lifespan is also limited, but then again, there is a huge difference between a magician and an ordinary person.

Even if he is an old man, as long as he is a powerful magician, he will still be full of energy before the end of his life.

"What is there to ask? This brat, this ignorant brat, actually said that he wanted to tear down our Shuangshou Pavilion. He said such outrageous words in front of me, the eldest daughter of the Mochizuki family. Do you think I can tolerate it?" said the kimono-clad woman Mochizuki Chixun.

"That's why you hurt people first. Okay, stop messing around. They should be our honored guests." The bearded old man walked up to the kimonoed woman and glared at her.

"Distinguished guest?" Mochizuki Chixun was very displeased, and at the same time she started to laugh.

“Old man, it’s a good thing you came out quickly, otherwise your beautiful granddaughter would have been severely beaten by me!” said Mo Fan.

The bearded old man froze for a moment, he probably didn't expect Mo Fan to speak in such an unconventional manner.

Mochizuki Chixun was so angry that she almost broke her clogs. This kid was simply too arrogant!

If her elder Mochizuki Mingjian hadn't stopped her immediately, she would have already dealt with this outspoken boy. But this guy said such things and didn't take her, Mochizuki Qianxun, seriously at all!
"You should all be members of the Great Xia Palace who are here for training. Calculating the time, you should be here by now." Wangyue Mingjian did not try to escalate the conflict and went straight to the point.

"Yes, we are from the Great Xia National Team." Mo Fan handed over the certificate and said.

It’s his business whether to watch it or not, but he still needs to prove it.

As expected, the old man Wangyue Mingjian had no intention of taking it.

Seeing this, Mo Fan immediately put it away.

“Haha, if I want to impersonate, I have to have the ability to do so. No one would be stupid enough to pretend to be a contestant from the national government and come to challenge the strong men of our Shuangshou Pavilion.” The old man replied with a smile.

“Is it because your place is too small that you have a misunderstanding about the guards of your government office?” Mo Fan said calmly.

As Mo Fan finished speaking, a man with dyed golden hair walked out of the gate. He had obviously heard the conversation just now. He said to Mo Fan with a confident smile: "Looking at the entire Sakura, there are not many people who can compete with our Shuangshou Pavilion team. How can you not be so confident? Fight with us to see how many rounds you can last."

"Or I'd say your place is small."

Mo Fan glanced at the other party and continued, "It is precisely because there are not many people who can fight that you feel how strong you are as a losing team."

The blond man frowned, obviously unhappy, but with the famous sword Mochizuki here, he could only hold back his anger temporarily.

"Let our guests have a rest first. I will arrange the competition. Before that, you should behave as hosts and take them to our Shuangshou Pavilion." Wangyue Mingjian did not check them one by one and directly invited them to enter the pavilion.

"By the way, we have a few female companions. They will arrive later. You can wait here and bring them in when they come." Mo Fan said to Wangyue Qianxun.

Mochizuki Chixun's forehead was covered with black lines, and her voice was filled with anger as she said, "Do you think I'm a doormaid?"

"Well, if you want to understand it this way, it's not impossible." Mofan nodded. Mochizuki Qianxun was furious again. Although she was extremely angry, it was obvious that she had no chance to make trouble for Mofan.
After entering the West Guard Pavilion, the base of the entire Guard Tower castle began to rise, and the depression between the wall and the base became rivers and lakes, irregularly distributed around the West Guard Pavilion, except towards the cliff. There are no rivers and lakes on one side, but there are them on the other three sides.

The water in rivers and lakes is quite clear. You can see some fallen leaves floating on it, you can see the stones under the water, and you can even see the shadow of the leaves reflected on the stones.

The water should be very deep, but it's just too clear that it looks as shallow as a stream.

There is a wooden corridor on the water, which stretches out directly on the water, going around and around. There are many small pavilions. It takes a while to walk directly to the lower pavilion of Xishou Pavilion!

The guard pavilion is divided into three staircases: upper, middle and lower. There are many halls in the lower pavilion, which are connected here and there. It is as complex as a maze. There are symmetrical and close castle houses in the four directions of east, west, south and north. It is hard to tell where is where without someone there. .

Following the steps between the castle rooms, you can enter the middle pavilion.

There is everything in the middle pavilion, including a museum, a library, a training ground, a meditation room, a teaching hall, a main hall, a palace, a tool room, a casting room, a pharmacy... all of them are high-end!
The upper pavilion is a military conference hall, a watchtower, a guard gallery, a magic circle tower, etc. Except for some heavyweight giants in Osaka and the masters who guard the pavilion, no one else is allowed to enter the upper pavilion.

The most shocking thing is still the middle pavilion. There are really all kinds of luxurious facilities inside. It is definitely the perfect place for mages to practice. Basically everything they want is available.

The blond man and Mochizuki Chisaki gave them a quick tour and then sent them to rest.

It was obvious that the two guys had no intention of taking them to explore the place.

Well, of course, Mo Fan and the others weren’t really interested.

The dinner was held in the Lower Pavilion, which had a large dinner restaurant that was comparable to a castle palace. In order to welcome the members of the Great Xia Palace, many important figures from the West Guard Pavilion attended.

Of course, the same group of arrogant, young and energetic school leaders who serve as guardians are indispensable.

But in fact, in Mo Fan's opinion, that's all.

To put it bluntly, among the current batch of national government mages, most are only mid-level mages.

What we are competing for now are spirit seeds and equipment.

There are undoubtedly very few people like Mu Ningxue who have mastered the field at the intermediate level.

They were eliminated here, apparently because their equipment was not strong enough.

But to put it bluntly, they also stood out from the colleges and universities. Every country's national team players must be recognized by the national pavilion when they come here. Only when they are recognized by enough national pavilions can they be qualified to enter the Venice Honor Showdown. Therefore, Osaka's Nishishukaku can be said to be the first place of recognition for the Daxia National Team. The fact that the instructors leave them alone does not mean that they can deal with the battle of the national pavilions!

Besides, Mo Fan felt that he couldn't afford to lose to a place like the National Pavilion.
The combat effectiveness of each country's national pavilion defense team will not be much inferior to that of the government team. In fact, if the coordination and matching of some defense teams are more perfect, their strength will be stronger than that of the government team!
Of course, this is the situation between strong countries and some weak countries. There are hundreds of countries, but not all of them are so powerful. Moreover, only those can finally step into the water city of Venice. The challenge of the national pavilion is the only way to the decisive battle. If the national pavilion is not strong, wouldn’t the national government teams of all countries be able to pass?
