Lin Xi was reading in the room, while Bai Yueguang and Liuying Qiangwei were learning magic knowledge from Lan Duo.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
At this time, who would come looking for Lin Xi?
The door opened, and there was a staff member outside.
"Mr. Lin Xi, there is an acquaintance in the hall who wants to see you."
The staff bowed and saluted, with a respectful tone.
Lin Xi was slightly startled. He knew only a handful of people in Mesai City. Who could they be?
"Did he say who he was?"
"He said he is Gao Ji from the Adventurers Association."
"Gaoji?"
Lin Xi remembered, wasn't this the preliminary examiner from the Nanyang Association? What was he doing to come to her?
"I understand, take me to see it."
Lin Xi was about to follow the staff to take a look, but unexpectedly, Bai Yueguang and others heard the commotion and came over curiously.
When the group came to the lobby, they saw a middle-aged man waiting.
"Your Excellency Lin Xi."
Gao Ji also saw Lin Xi and strode over to greet her, his face full of joy.
"I heard you came to see me, is there something wrong?"
Lin Xi didn't like beating around the bush and asked directly.
Gao Ji also understood Lin Xi's temperament and said hurriedly: "Your Excellency Lin Xi, it's like this. The Adventurers Association would like to ask you to arrange a defensive array for the new Adventurers Association in the form of a special commission. The cost of setting up the array will be charged separately.
It is not included in the commissioned task reward."
Nowadays, Lin Xi is already an "iron-level adventurer", but he has never done a mission, and he doesn't understand this "special commission".
Bai Yueguang on the side hurriedly explained, and then Lin Xi understood what a "special commission" was.
The so-called "special commissions" are tasks issued to specific people. Other adventurers cannot receive such tasks.
Generally, the rewards for this kind of tasks are higher than ordinary tasks of the same level, and the points you can get for completing the tasks are also very high.
"Please ask me to arrange the formation?" Lin Xi looked at the middle-aged man.
Gao Ji smiled and nodded: "Yes, in Mesai City, there is probably no more powerful magician than you. The Adventurers Association suffered heavy losses during the last turmoil, so this time we pay special attention to defense."
Lin Xi pondered for a while, and then said: "Take me there first to have a look!"
He had indeed been reading related formation books during this period, but he had never set up a magic formation.
However, he really wanted to give it a try.
The newly merged Adventurers Association is located on the street adjacent to the Magic Association.
The Adventurers Association wants to set up a defensive formation similar to that of the Magic Association. Once an emergency occurs, it can effectively prevent the invasion of foreign enemies and reduce casualties and losses.
Although the Adventurers Association is not as rich as the Magic Association, since it was the merger of four associations, it also spent a lot of money this time.
When Lin Xi and his party arrived, they saw two other magicians who had also been invited to set up the formation.
One is an old man with a gray beard, and the other is a middle-aged man with a black beard, both wearing gorgeous magic robes.
"...That's impossible! Naturally, the starting speed comes first."
"No matter how fast you activate the formation, if the defense is not strong enough, it will be useless."
"Whoever said the defense was not strong enough is just making excuses."
"..."
The two formation magicians were actually quarreling, each insisting on their own ideas and refusing to give in.
Gao Ji was afraid that Lin Xi would misunderstand, so he quickly introduced the two people who were quarreling.
Those two people are relatively famous formation masters in "Mesai City", and the magic formations in many places were completed by these two people.
Later, Gao Ji introduced Lin Xi to the two men.
The two formation magicians, who were still arguing, immediately cast a scrutinizing gaze upon hearing Lin Xi's name.
If anyone's name is the most popular recently, it is none other than the rumored "Lin Xi Magician".
It is said that this mysterious magician Lin Xi single-handedly killed the monsters and goblins in Mesai City, and his strength is unfathomable.
There are also rumors that the taste has been changed by adding oil and vinegar.
Many people were curious about what Magician Lin Xi looked like. For this reason, in the first few days, many people rushed to the Magic Association, hoping to catch a glimpse of his face.
Later, the Magic Association had no choice but to erect a stone statue and place it in the most conspicuous place in the living room, thus satisfying the curiosity of those people.
That stone statue really carved Lin Xi's appearance vividly.
However, the stone statue was not painted, so even if you know what Lin Xi looks like, you will still be surprised when you actually see him in person.
"Are you that Lin Xi magician?" the middle-aged man with a black beard asked in disbelief.
He had seen the statue in the Magic Association, but he never expected that the magician Lin Xi was dressed in green.
This shouldn't be human!
"I'm Lin Xi, what were you arguing about just now?"
Lin Xi had long been accustomed to the strange looks from others when they looked at him, so he didn't care.
"It's like this. After my investigation of this place, I found that it is very suitable for setting up a compound magic array with stronger defense..."
The middle-aged man spoke loudly.
It turned out that the two people had different design concepts. One wanted to arrange a more defensive magic circle, but the disadvantage was that the opening speed was very slow, and two places needed to be opened before the magic circle could be activated.
The other person wants to set up a magic circle that can be triggered quickly. Although it is weaker in defense, it can be opened quickly and is very suitable for dealing with emergencies.
Although she understood the reason for the quarrel between the two, Lin Xi did not understand:
Can't both defensive formations be deployed?
When he asked the doubts in his heart, he received surprised looks from the two formation magicians.
Finally, the middle-aged man with a black beard explained: "If two kinds of magic arrays are deployed, the superposition of the arrays will cause magic chaos. Not only will it be impossible to form a defensive barrier, but there may also be an explosion."
The old man with a white beard, who had not spoken for a long time, questioned angrily: "Doesn't it mean that your Excellency doesn't understand magic circles?"
Magicians are a very large system with many branches. Some people are good at developing potions, some specialize in the research of magic tools, and some are dedicated to studying formations...
It is precisely because of the huge system that even a very powerful magician has systems that he is not good at.
"I really don't understand much. I just learned it for just two days." Lin Xi smiled.
"Since you don't understand magic circles, let us professionals do professional things." The white-bearded old man said solemnly.
Judging from his tone and expression, he was very resistant to Lin Xi.
It's not because Lin Xi wants to steal his business, but because he himself has a feeling of rejection towards non-human races.
Lin Xi was not prepared to argue. He preferred to speak with facts.
With a thought, Lin Xi directly used his detection ability to cover the entire area of the Adventurers Association.
Regarding the landforms and topography here, with the expansion of his detection ability, it came to his mind.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Xi's deduction ability began to develop, trying out various formations he had learned during this period.
The white-bearded old man took Lin Xi's silence as a retreat, became more energetic, and said to himself:
"Magic arrays are profound and profound. You can't just read two books and describe a few magic arrays before you can directly practice them. What's more, such a large-scale magic array involves all aspects of the east and west. If there are any mistakes, it will cause heavy losses.
It is true that today’s young people should learn more from their predecessors.”
His words also included the middle-aged man with a black beard.
This is a typical example of relying on one's old age and selling one's old age!
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Lin Xi suddenly said: "I have accepted this task, and I will arrange a triple magic circle here."
"Triple magic circle?"
The old man with the white beard seemed to have heard something funny and immediately burst out laughing: "Young man, don't say such big words. Although you may be very good at using magic, this magic circle is far better than you think."
complex.”
After a pause, the old man stroked his beard and continued: "I have been studying magic circles for decades, and I am considered an expert in this field. Over the years, I have seen many talented young people, but the results were...
It was because of impatience that I finally gave up on the research on the magic circle. What's more, because I was too confident, it caused the magic circle to collapse and cause disaster."
"Young man, the water here is very deep. If you want to become an excellent formation master, you need to invest decades of careful research like me. Don't talk about the 'triple magic array', here's
The terrain makes it difficult for even a two-layer magic circle to be formed, and everyone can tell lies!"
Well, this old guy is still full of energy!
Bai Yueguang's explosive temper was suddenly ignited.
Dare you say, my Lin Xi, what are you?
Immediately, Bai Yueguang responded: "I'm a lot older, and the words I say are like farts. I am incompetent, but I insist on putting gold on my face. After decades of research, I won't be able to study how thick it is."
Are you shameless?"
"You little girl, why are you so rude!"
The face of the old man with a white beard turned red and his gray beard trembled.
"Am I wrong? Old man, this world is a big place. Don't use your narrow thoughts to think that others are as incompetent as you. If you don't understand, just stand aside honestly. It's so incompetent.
If you pretend to understand, don't you feel blushing?"
Bai Yueguang's fighting ability is amazing when it comes to attacking people.
"You...you..." The old man with the white beard was very angry.
In Mesai City, he is also the number one person, and no one has ever spoken to him like this before.
"Old man, it's okay to be angry, but don't fight me. If you can't beat me, don't be impulsive and die early."
Bai Yueguang narrowed her eyes slightly, she didn't care what the other person's identity was.
The middle-aged man with a black beard secretly praised Bai Yueguang, and his words made him feel comfortable.
Just now, it was this old man who, relying on his prestige in Mesai City, ridiculed him.
Because of his face and interests, he didn't want to break up with the old man, but today someone did something he wanted to do but didn't dare to do.
This beast mother is such a sweetheart!
"I wonder if Sir Lin Xi has any good ideas?"
The middle-aged man with a black beard suddenly stood up at this time, looking like he was asking for advice humbly.
It's obvious that I'll give the old man another stab!
This is like saying: Just go and cool down!
Lin Xi suddenly stretched out her palm, with her palm facing the direction of the Adventurers Association.
The majestic magic power suddenly surged out.
Buzz!
Buzz!
Buzz!
Three huge layers of echoing barriers enveloped the entire Adventurers Association.
The middle-aged man with a black beard was stunned on the spot, and his eyes almost popped out of his head.
Three layers of barriers are arranged in the blink of an eye.
Holy shit!
What a great guy!
At this moment, the middle-aged man with a black beard felt like a stormy sea was rolling in his heart.
His eyes were opened today.
What is a strong man!
This is the real strong man!
No wonder he was able to save the city of Mesa!
I do have this strength!
"Lin Xi...Master!"
The middle-aged man with a black beard even changed his name.
"This is the 'triple barrier' I want to arrange." Lin Xi introduced with a smile.
He used his own spiritual power to set up a triple barrier. As the magic energy is consumed, the barrier will disappear.
If you use magic stones to arrange it, you can turn it on and off at any time on the premise of achieving the same effect.
This means that the triple barrier can be deployed here, because Lin Xi has already proved it.
The person who was hit the hardest was the old man with the white beard.
He was slapped in the face on the spot!
Staring dumbfounded at the huge barrier hanging over the association, the old man's body was trembling and his lips were trembling.
"This...how is this possible, how is this possible..."
The old man's worldview seemed to have been greatly impacted, and he kept repeating it.
But at this time, no one paid attention to him.
Lin Xi successfully took over the task of setting up the triple barrier.
The cost of setting up the formation alone is as high as 100 million gold coins, which is pure income.
Lin Xi was very happy and could use what he had learned, which was the greatest encouragement to him.
In Mesai City, there are too many places where defensive barriers need to be deployed.
After learning that the "triple barrier" of the Adventurers Association was written by Lin Xi, Lin Xike became busy.
More and more people are issuing special commissions through the Adventurers Association, entrusting Lin Xi to set up defensive formations.
Who among the rich and powerful doesn't want their home to be safer?
Especially those magic shops that sell valuable items have extremely high requirements for security and defense.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a craze in Mesai City.
Every household with some financial resources, even if they can't afford Lin Xi, will ask other formation masters to set up a small defensive barrier for their home.
Even this wave of craze has led many magicians to devote themselves to the research of formations.
Lin Xi became more famous and richer in Mesai City.
In just ten days, he earned more than one billion gold coins.
It felt like the money was blown by a strong wind, whizzing into his pocket.
besides,
Many children on the streets, out of nowhere and following celebrities, even paint their skin green with dye.
As a result, many little green children chased and ran on the street.
Many shopping malls have also specially launched all-green clothing and equipment, which are very popular with the public.
Lin Xi didn't know that she had become the most popular color in the city.
