Mages, Adventurers, and Women

The inside and outside of the courtyard are two different worlds.

In the courtyard of over 500 square meters, there are four magic arrays in the four corners used to gather elements. Magic gems the size of a baby's fist are piled up into a six-pointed star, tirelessly gathering the magic and elements of Rolling Stone Town.

Li Wei stared wide-eyed.

A magic circle uses hundreds of magic gems. John would definitely offer no less than 30 gold coins for magic gems of this quality and size!

There are four magic arrays in the entire courtyard.

Generous!

People who dare to flaunt their wealth in Rolling Stones are not only rich, but also incredibly powerful!

In addition, there were ten "elemental golems," dressed in the style of maids and servants, with their left hands behind their backs and their right hands holding fruit wine, smoked meat, and the rarest vegetables and fruits in Rolling Stone Town, gracefully strolling among the chatting magic-based professionals.

Li Wei had seen "elemental puppets" several times in books.

They resemble humans and are perfect works of art created by combining alchemy, elements, and magic.

The standard version can help people handle tedious daily tasks, while the powerful elemental golem can become the most loyal warrior on the battlefield.

The servants in the courtyard are the standard model, and their cost would not be less than 200 gold coins.

The maid outfit is about 100 gold coins more expensive.

The cost of just ten elemental golems is over 2000 gold coins!

Li Wei gained his first direct understanding of the unscrupulous nature of the Rolling Stone Town Mage Association.

byd!

This is the blood and sweat of so many monks that has been embezzled!

Li Wei glanced at it quickly.

Including him, there were 113 legal professionals at the gathering, each with their own small circle.

The mage-class professionals from the Sandstorm District, clad in black robes, gathered around a long table on the east side, chatting quietly.

The glamorous, magic-based professionals from the Golden District gathered around the long table on the west side, chatting cheerfully about the interesting things that had recently happened in Rolling Stone Town.

The magic-based professionals in the Storm Zone gathered around the long table on the north side, hiding under a spruce tree, watching the magic-based professionals in the Sandstorm Zone on the east side with predatory eyes.

Eldar does not belong to District 3.

She sat in the middle, chatting animatedly with several familiar female legal professionals, quietly waiting for the host of the gathering to appear.

Apart from Elda, other magic-based professionals who did not belong to the third district were also scattered together, forming five small groups of varying sizes.

Li Wei followed behind Elda without saying a word.

A maid-like elemental puppet approached and handed out small badges to each person.

The badge is a uniform three-centimeter-long design of a standard staff.

Eldar's badge is made of silver, while Levi's is made of bronze.

Throughout the entire event, including Eldar, there were only thirteen silver badges.

"Level 1 mage apprentices wear bronze badges, level 2 mages wear silver badges, level 3 archmages wear gold badges, and only the guild master wears a gold badge."

Elda explained.

Levels 1-3 are collectively referred to as mages.

However, in common parlance, there is a clearer distinction in the terminology.

Level 1 is a mage apprentice, who has just begun to grasp the elements.

Level 2 is a mage who is allied with the elements.

Level 3 is Grand Mage, and the title is preceded by the word "Grand" to show respect.

Nobody likes small.

This set of colloquial terms applies to all professions.

The six female magic users around Elda naturally took her as their leader.

The mysterious "Grand Master" has not appeared for a long time.

Instead, they attracted troublemakers.

A magic-based professional from the Sandstorm District, also wearing a silver badge, approached the Eldar group with a tall, burly subordinate wearing a bronze badge.

The owner of the silver badge sneered, and the tall, burly man behind him, understanding the implication, stepped forward and, emboldened by his backing, mocked:

"Elda, you filthy bitch, have you finally brought your slutty dog ​​for everyone to see?"

"What? Are you planning to offer your bastard dog Li Wei to them to share?"

Li Wei looked up sharply.

The other party didn't take Li Wei seriously; their eyes were fixed on Elda.

Taking advantage of the fact that this was a gathering organized by the "Grand Mage" guild leader and no one dared to cause trouble, the other side humiliated Elda at will on behalf of the captain.

Elda said with a cold look in her eyes:

"Loli, keep your lowly servant in check! This is a gathering of magic-based professionals organized by Archmage Frey, and there is no room for disrespect!"

Li Wei was ignored.

In Rolling Stone, a compromise means the other party will humiliate you even more.

These are the survival lessons Li Wei learned in Rolling Stone Town.

Rolling Stones is an extremely harsh and realistic town.

The strong are respected, and the weak are subservient.

Giving in, hiding, and backing down will make the other party think you are a pushover.

A single thought arises.

Two mage hands suddenly appeared, grabbed the tall, muscular man by the hair, and pulled him to the ground.

A fireball appeared silently, hovering above his head, preventing him from getting up.

Levi's sudden riot caught even Lori, who was at odds with Elda, off guard.

By the time she was about to make her move, Li Wei's fireball was already hovering in front of his subordinate's forehead; with just a thought, he could burn his head to a crisp.

[Elemental] Increases by 5%, making Li Wei's Fireball spell hotter and more ferocious.

The air in front of the tall, burly henchman's forehead was distorted by the heat, and the brown hair that squeezed out from his black robe was curled by the heat.

Li Wei attracted everyone's attention. Everyone put down what they were doing and watched everything that was happening, with different expressions on their faces.

"Someone actually dared to make a move at Lady Frey's party?"

"It seems to be an instant-cast Mage's Hand and Fireball spell? How come I've never heard of a mage like this in Rolling Stone Town before?"

"A reckless brat."

"Is he standing up for Elda? That crazy woman Lori is still clinging to Elda, trying to start a war between the Sandstorm District and the Rolling Stone District?"

……

Li Wei walked up to the tall, muscular henchman.

He looked down at the guy lying on the ground, drenched in cold sweat.

He stepped on his head, put his hands in his pockets, leaned down, and said coldly:

What are you barking like a dog?

……

……

Chapter 18: Her appearance and figure are too taboo...

"It exploded!"

……

The copper badge henchman dared to insult Elda, the wearer of the silver badge.

"Silver Badge Wearer Lori" alone is not enough to support him.

Because he was certain that no one would dare to cause trouble at the French gathering organized by "Frederick the Gold Badge Wearer".

As for whether Elda will retaliate against him later?

He didn't care at all. Even if he didn't humiliate Elda, Elda wouldn't let him go if they met outside of Rolling Stones. From the day he became Lori's subordinate, he and Elda had been sworn enemies.

But he and Lori underestimated Levi's courage.

This guy was an accident.

I came into close contact with Li Wei's fireball spell.

He dared not move because of the intense heat.

No one dared to bet on whether Li Wei, that madman, would dare to kill someone at a gathering of the "Grand Mage Frey" organization.

"Let him go!"

"I'm wearing a black robe," Lori shouted.

A ring on her finger, hidden in her robe sleeve, suddenly lit up, and a dark brown metallic staff about one and a half meters long appeared out of thin air. It was smooth all over, and the head of the staff was inlaid with an earth-colored magic gem the size of an infant's head.

"Let him go!"

Lori shouted again, and the magic gem embedded in the staff head glowed. The earth elemental energy swirling in the courtyard gathered together, as if she was about to make a move!

"A storage ring?"

Li Wei thought to himself, "Level 2 mages are indeed rich; they can even afford expensive storage rings."

But he wasn't spineless enough to yield to the rich.

He stomped harder, denting the tall, burly thug's face, refusing to yield an inch.

"Do you threaten me?"

Except for Rolling Stones, where softies are not allowed.

He was also betting on whether Elda would make a move.

Although Levi believed there was a 99% chance that Elda would make a move, Levi wanted to gamble on that 1%.

If Elda doesn't intervene, Levi can legitimately cut ties with her.

Moreover, Li Wei speculated.

Archmage Frey must be spying from the shadows.

If things get to the point where Elda refuses to help him, Levi will make a big scene to force her to show herself.

For example, actually killing the guy under his feet.

"Lori! You dare touch Levi and see what happens!"

When Elda saw that Lori had actually begun to gather elements, she was furious and took out a milky white staff from her storage ring. The staff's head was also inlaid with a white magic gem the size of an infant's head.

He immediately began chanting "secret language" to start a battle with Lori.

Alda's reaction was exactly what Levi had expected.

This was unexpected by everyone else present.

Lori never expected this.

Li Wei is a madman.

Elda is a madwoman too.

She took out her staff and gathered elements to force Li Wei to let go.

This was a gathering of magic-based professionals organized by Archmage Frey. She didn't want to leave a bad impression on Frey, and she dared not disobey or violate the rule set by Lady Frey that "no attacks on each other are allowed."

But Elda is different.

The moment she took out her staff, she began chanting "Arcane Language," a signal for battle.
