Zhang Guangmu and Li Xiaoxiao came all the way from Moucheng to Umbrella City, naturally not just because of the letter written by George, the city's chief advisor.
Although the other party was very rude and seemed to treat people as if they were mentally retarded, both Li Xiaoxiao and Zhang Guangmu had their own ideas when they came to Moucheng.
The former wants to accumulate more experience, while the latter wants to compete with more magicians and learn more magic knowledge secretly.
According to Zhang Guangmu's understanding, the situation in other counties of Magic Star is not certain for the time being. At least in Baishuang County, in every city that is qualified to compete for the position of the main city, the chief consultant must be an official magician.
This is the case with Diana, Mushroom City's former chief advisor.
George, the chief advisor of Umbrella City, is also an official magician.
If I could find a problem and fight against the opponent once...
You should be able to learn a lot of things!
Zhang Guangmu thought like this. After arriving at Umbrella City, he didn't even look for a place to stay. He immediately visited with Li Xiaoxiao and tried to have a good chat with George.
The planning and layout of the city construction in Umbrella City is similar to that in Mushroom City. The chief consultant's residence is right next to the city lord's palace and is very easy to find.
only……
The King of Hell is easy to meet, but the little undead are difficult to deal with.
Zhang Guangmu and Li Xiaoxiao never expected that they would be stopped at the door and unable to enter.
"The person standing in front of you is the Lord of Mushroom City, Zhang Guangmu!"
Li Xiaoxiao, who had been rejected, turned red with anger, but he did not want to use his identity to pressure others, so he used Zhang Guangmu's identity to talk about the matter: "Master George even wrote a letter to him specifically before.
Didn’t I give you any instructions?”
The two guards looked at Li Xiaoxiao like they were looking at a liar.
One of them had a look of contempt and disdain on his face.
The other person had a better temper. Seeing that Zhang Guangmu and Li Xiaoxiao were relatively young, he even admonished them kindly: "Your Excellency George is delving into the mysteries of magic and has no time to summon you."
"To be honest, if you want to cheat, it's best not to choose a magician..."
"The sacredness of magic cannot be tarnished."
"If you are unlucky, you may be arrested immediately and treated as a typical example, with your hands and tongue cut off, and you will have to be a disabled person for the rest of your life."
Hearing this, Li Xiaoxiao became so angry that he almost couldn't help but draw his sword and kill someone if he hadn't been well-educated enough.
He is the majestic prince of the Magic Empire, the former lord of Mushroom City, and the heir to the precious tools and inheritance of swordsmanship from another world, but he is actually regarded as a liar...
Is it tolerable or not?
Zhang Guangmu, on the other hand, looked like it had nothing to do with him, and even looked a little gloating about his misfortune.
Feeling the killing intent in his good brother's eyes, Zhang Guangmu looked solemn, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.
Snapped!
A ball of golden red flame swam between Zhang Guangmu's fingers like a docile flame snake.
The surrounding temperature suddenly rose a lot.
"I appreciate your kindness, but..."
Zhang Guangmu used his accent and rambled without even typing up the draft. He lengthened his voice and said in an almost hypocritical aria: "Zhang Guangmu, the official magician from Moucheng, Baishuang County, requests to meet with His Excellency George."
In fact, he is just a senior magic apprentice now.
However, ordinary people have little knowledge and cannot tell the difference between a formal magician and a magic apprentice. When reporting one's identity, the higher one is, the more bluffing they are.
Like the two guards in front of me, I think there was nothing wrong with them, but in fact they were not.
The key problem is that even if Zhang Guangmu takes out his Mushroom City Lord Token, the two of them may not recognize him and will only regard him as a daring little mercenary who is trying to trick him.
Zhang Guangmu felt that if Li Xiaoxiao was willing to take out the identity plate of the Mages Guild given by his sister, he might be able to bluff these two.
But with the temperament of a good brother, it would be better to let him borrow someone else's name than to let him draw a sword and wipe his neck.
Li Xiaoxiao is the last person who wants to cause trouble to her relatives.
Seeing the words lingering between Zhang Guangmu's fingers and feeling the "aristocratic temperament" exuding from his body, the two guards were shocked and quickly apologized.
"Dear Magician, I'm so sorry! Please forgive us for our sins!"
The guard who was originally full of contempt suddenly became enthusiastic. From a state where people suspected that he was mute, he instantly switched to a eloquent mode: "Recently, Mr. George has just been promoted to an official magician, and many people come to climb up every day."
Relationship, Sir George is really annoying, so because of our responsibilities, we will stop you and your guardian swordsman..."
On the other hand, the kind-hearted guard who tried to dissuade Zhang Guangmu and Li Xiaoxiao from leaving could only smile and repeat "Please come in, please come in."
Li Xiaoxiao, who was mistaken for the guardian swordsman, was not angry at the moment. After all, the benefits given to him by wearing Zhang Guangmu, there is a high probability that he will have other special "necessary props for sword cultivators" in the future, plus his identity as a swordsman.
Already lower than a magician, even a sword master would lower his head in front of a magician.
In the eyes of outsiders, it is understandable for Li Xiaoxiao that Zhang Guangmu's status is above him.
On the contrary...
Li Xiaoxiao felt very familiar with Zhang Guangmu's coquettish attitude and his fanciful sense of superiority.
If it weren't for the different hair color and eye color, Li Xiaoxiao would have almost thought he was seeing his thirteenth brother.
But having said that, during this period, after his thirteenth brother inherited the throne of the Magic Empire, although he encountered various difficulties and challenges, he also made obvious progress. I heard that he has become approachable, with that arrogance and
The smell of superiority seems to have completely dissipated.
Li Xiaoxiao felt that when she was free, she would have to inquire about Zhang Guangmu's life experience.
Could it be that this bitch was the prince of Blue Star before he traveled to the Magic Star?
or……
Princess?
After all, Li Xiaoxiao has read a lot of knight novels, so it is understandable for things like time travel and even gender transformation.
When he thought of this, Li Xiaoxiao felt that he had found the right answer.
Otherwise, it seems impossible to explain why Zhang Guangmu can always maintain an attitude of equal treatment and neither humble nor arrogant when facing anyone. It is also difficult to explain the arrogance that just flashed across his body.
"Well, thank you very much."
Zhang Guangmu nodded politely towards the two guards, and immediately entered the chief advisor's residence in Umbrella City with Li Xiaoxiao.
Zhang Guangmu's first impression of this mansion was...
luxury.
Obviously the area is not particularly large, but you can see all kinds of luxurious decorations and works of art everywhere.
Moreover, in this mansion, people come and go, from servants, cooks, grooms to butlers, which makes people wonder how rich the owner of this mansion really is.
After all, Li Xiaoxiao, who lives in the mansion of Moocheng's chief advisor, doesn't even have a maid by his side. Apart from him, there isn't even a dog in the entire mansion, and it looks deserted.
On the contrary...
Zhang Guangmu noticed that the guard just mentioned that George had just been promoted to an official magician.
But according to his intelligence network, George became the chief consultant of Umbrella City early on.
After all, Umbrella City is also a city in Baishuang County that has the qualifications to compete for the main city.
Actually let a magic apprentice be the chief advisor?
Of course, the situation in Mushroom City is not much better. After all, Li Xiaoxiao is just a swordsman who has not yet made a name for himself. Judging from the reaction of the magic particles in his body, he is at the level of a magic apprentice.
but……
This happens for a reason after all.
After all, Zhang Guangmu is also a person whose real memory has not been blocked. He knows that Li Xiaoxiao and Chu Fan are crew members on his battleship, so it is appropriate to give them more preferential treatment.
Moreover, this kind of behavior is completely explainable in the eyes of the audience.
Right here in Umbrella City...
interesting.
Zhang Guangmu felt that this trip was really the right one.
Perhaps, the harvest from this trip will be more than expected!
After showing the power of magic, the two people were led by the enthusiastic servant to the reception hall.
After waiting for a full hour and drinking a full stomach of water, the owner of the mansion, George, finally showed up before Li Xiaoxiao went crazy.
This man wore a brown robe, a leather belt around his waist, rings on all five fingers of his left hand, and a silver necklace around his neck. He looked like a nouveau riche.
His face, on the other hand, seems to have regular features and does not look hateful. On the contrary, it is very attractive. After a few more glances, you will subconsciously make a subjective judgment that this may be the face of a good person.
However, the other person's temperament is obviously insulated from the word "good person".
"The Lord of Mushroom City, Zhang Guangmu."
"And the former city lord, Li Xiaoxiao."
George rubbed the goatee on his chin, his eyes fell thoughtfully on Zhang Guangmu, and a look of joy appeared on his face: "The two of you came hand in hand, and you have already made a decision to take down Mucheng."
Give me the [Iron Mine of the Undead] as a gift?"
From George's point of view, this was an unexpected surprise.
Originally, his purpose in writing that letter was not to get the mineral vein directly in one fell swoop.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Guangmu was so cowardly as a mouse, and the Lord of Tangtang City actually paid a visit in person!
Having said this, he cleared his throat and said reservedly: "Did you bring the contract?"
"You made a right choice."
"What you lose is just a useless mine, but what you gain is the friendship of an official magician!"
To be honest, when George wrote that letter, he originally intended to use it to anger Zhang Guangmu.
On the one hand, the so-called "Iron Mine of the Undead" really contains rich resources that are ten times or a hundred times the limit of outsiders' imagination.
On the other hand, George also made Zhang Guangmu make a wrong decision. It is best to take the initiative to stir up conflicts and give Umbrella City an excuse to attack Mushroom City.
He never expected that the two Lords of Mushroom City would come to Umbrella City together to pay a visit.
After all, they didn't even have a single soldier with them. If they were to come to make trouble, George was not willing to believe it.
After all, they are also the two city lords of Mushroom City. Although they have no reputation in the entire Magic Star, Li can still be regarded as a prominent figure in Baishuang County.
If you go out without even a bodyguard, isn't this a sign of lowering your profile and seeking cooperation?
The moment George realized this, he speculated that the two people in front of him might want something from him, so he said this.
It doesn't matter what kind of promises you make, empty words have no binding force. Even if you sign a contract, it only means that the two have won their friendship, nothing more.
Friendships always fade over time, don't they?
However……
The reactions of the two people were not what George expected.
Li Xiaoxiao didn't pay attention to him at all, but turned his head, looked at Zhang Guangmu, and said confidently: "A low-level magician, and the lowest among the low-level magicians. He has obviously just been promoted."
"To kill him, I only need three swords!"
"Just defeat and subdue him, five moves are enough!"
Official magicians are divided into three levels, namely lower level, middle level and upper level.
Diana, the former chief advisor of Mushroom City, was also a low-level magician, but her hard power and background were obviously stronger than those of George in front of her.
It wasn’t that long that Li Xiaoxiao received the inheritance of the swordsman from the ancient era of Blue Star.
so……
His strength is still improving.
Being able to do this even after just getting started is enough to be proud of.
However……
Zhang Guangmu responded with a disgusted tone: "You need five more moves?"
"I only need two moves at most."
A serious magician at the same level would most likely not be Li Xiaoxiao's opponent.
But Zhang Guangmu has never been a simple indigenous magician.
Even if one does not take into account his attainments in the Imperial Body Forging Technique and counts his magic ability alone, he cannot be simply described by the words "senior magic apprentice".
In addition to the identity of [Blue Star Traveler], he also retains the memory of reality. When he truly studies magic, he notices more details, opens up more imagination, and has huge potential in creativity.
Advantageous.
Theoretically speaking, the number of magic spells Zhang Guangmu currently masters is two, but it can be counted as four.
One of them is naturally "Gluttony", which is currently only used to enhance physical strength and can barely be regarded as half a [status] type magic.
The second is the product of the evolution of "Fire Rope", a comprehensive magic that has three types of attributes at the same time. Zhang Guangmu calls it...
"arrogant".
Zhang Guangmu looked at George with burning eyes, his left hand was clasped upside down, his body weight was slightly depressed, his right hand was like a knife, with golden red flames lingering on it: "Mucheng Zhang Guangmu, please enlighten me."
