The man applauding was wearing a golden robe, brown leather boots, and a monocle hanging on his left eye, giving people an elegant and easy-going yet domineering look.
The little stuffed dumpling squatting on Zhang Guangmu's shoulder seemed to feel the pressure from the outside world, and turned on the grinning mode, trying to support Zhang Guangmu's scene.
Mooncake stared at the strange man fiercely, trying to warn him not to get too close: "Meow!"
Li Xiaoxiao frowned, came to Zhang Guangmu's side, and introduced in a low voice: "He is the Lord of Umbrella City, Jon, is George's biological brother."
Hearing this, Zhang Guangmu took out a finger and scratched Yue Cake's chin to comfort him. At the same time, he nodded slightly and said, "Yeah."
The man wearing a high-profile golden robe is not arrogant in character, but rather gentle, making people feel like they are taking a breath of spring breeze.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang Guangmu and Mr. Li Xiaoxiao, two generations of city lords from Moucheng."
Jon looked at the two of them with a smile, bowed slightly, and said in a slightly apologetic tone: "I'm very sorry that my stupid brother has caused you trouble."
"I already understand all the causes and consequences of the matter."
"I will compensate for the losses that George has caused you two and ensure that you are satisfied."
At this point, Jon's eyes turned slightly, and with a calm look, all the words that came to George's mouth were shattered, and he could no longer say them out.:.
At this time, Jon kept his smile and demeanor, and said calmly: "Actually, I have been here a long time ago, but I was worried that you two would misunderstand, so I didn't act rashly."
In fact, not only did Jon not act randomly, he even used "this was just an ordinary mage exchange" as an excuse to suppress the guards and servants in the chief advisor's mansion to keep these people calm. What should be done?
do what.
On the one hand, he did this because he had full confidence in his ability to handle things and felt that he could definitely calm the situation. On the other hand, he also felt that he could use this opportunity to temper his stupid brother and let George know how to do things.
importance.
After all, they have never been the children of destiny. After reaching their respective limits, they have reached the end of the road of magic. Their potential has been exhausted, and it is almost impossible to go further.
so……
From Jon's point of view, facing various things, it is the most stupid decision to respond simply and roughly like George did just because he is an official magician.
Zhang Guangmu looked Qiaoen up and down, and immediately felt the powerful magical power in this man.
The corners of his lips raised slightly and he smiled: "Compensation... I have already received it."
"Speaking of which, I have to thank George. Without him, it would still take a long time for me to break through to the realm of a formal magician."
Having said this, Zhang Guangmu flicked his fingers.
Bang!
The air in the room exploded, and a bright cube filled with golden-red flames swirled between him.
"Magic Core!"
After Jon blurted out these four words, he reorganized his expression, suppressed the piercing cold light in his eyes, and smiled bitterly: "Although I have seen it once just now, but..."
"This kind of thing, no matter how many times you see it, makes you jealous..."
Having said this, Jon sighed and warned in an experienced tone: "City Lord Zhang Guangmu, you have just stepped into the ranks of official magicians, and you have this thing. In the future, you want to surpass the official magicians and be promoted to magicians."
At the level of a warrior, the difficulty will be much lower than that of others, and you will hardly encounter any major difficulties along the way."
"But……"
"This can easily arouse the jealousy of other people who have exhausted their potential."
Jon shook his head and said: "Everything in the world has two sides. There are good and bad. In my family, because an outstanding heir like me was born, something like my brother George also happened at the same time.
You idiot who can't even do it."
"Your talent is so powerful that it makes people fearful, and it may also cause you a lot of trouble."
"My personal suggestion is that before you grow into a mid-level magician, try not to cast magic in front of other people, as that will easily provoke some enemies for no apparent reason."
The smelly brother George had a displeased face.
He didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, it was just that he was unlucky enough to meet a pervert like Zhang Guangmu.
If it were any other ordinary young city lord, this matter would not happen today.
After all, doesn’t George want to do something to prove himself in front of his brother?
It's a pity that Jon didn't even bother to look at him.
What I just said seems to be an exchange of experiences and suggestions, but in essence it is an attempt to turn hostility into friendship with Zhang Guangmu.
Zhang Guangmu also felt his kindness.
After folding his "Pride" magic into a three-dimensional structure, he has the ability to cover the five major categories of attack, defense, movement, healing, and status magic with one against five. At the same time, he has reached the level of a formal magician.
According to Jon, the current structure of "Pride" magic can be called the "Magic Core", which will be of great help to him in the future to be promoted to a magician.
At this moment, Zhang Guangmu also heard Qiao Qiao's other intention. The official magician is not the end, but just the beginning.
Strictly speaking, I am now a [lower-level magician]. After advancing, I will become a middle-level magician, and then I will become a high-level magician, and the higher level will be a mage and magister.
As the Lord of Umbrella City, Jon is also working hard to release goodwill.
"I appreciate your kindness."
Zhang Guangmu smiled slightly, feeling that Jon was a smart man, so he didn't play any fancy words with the other party, and went straight to the point: "You are now a mid-level magician, right?"
"I think Umbrella City is strong enough to be qualified to form an alliance with our Mushroom City and become a mutually beneficial partner."
The corners of Jon's lips raised, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he showed his strong intelligence gathering ability as soon as he opened his mouth: "I also think so in Mushroom City. Although there is only one official mage in Mushroom City, in my opinion, [Sword of Honor]
Scholar] Li Xiaoxiao also has abilities that are not inferior to those of lower-level magicians."
By saying this, on the one hand, he was showing off his own skills, and on the other hand, he was telling Zhang Guangmu that "in terms of overall strength, Mushroom City may not be stronger than Umbrella City."
After all, Umbrella City has two official magicians, and there is also a mid-level magician among them.
Just looking at the level of job agencies, Umbrella City should occupy a dominant position in this alliance.
Of course, this argument is not feasible for Zhang Guangmu.
He took the mooncake off his shoulder, held it in his arms, and sat on the main seat with a golden sword. While petting the cat, he said: "I understand what you mean."
"An alliance must be an alliance. The only difference lies in the 'primary and secondary relationship'."
"I can tell you the bottom line right now. Mucheng must dominate!"
After hearing this, the smile on Jon's face gradually faded, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.
"This is definitely not going to work."
He said in a melancholy tone: "After all, in addition to supporting the people of this city, I also want to compete for the position of the main city of Baishuang County in the future."
"Even magicians like me and George who have exhausted their potential want to gain more resources and force themselves to a higher level."
Yes, the same resources, used on Jon, may be able to train him to become a high-level magician. If used on other potential magicians, five or even ten high-level magicians can be trained!
But……
So what?
It belongs to others to become stronger. No matter how much resources you waste, you will be the one who benefits!
Every level of improvement for a magician is a leap in the essence of life. Not to mention other benefits, just the increase in lifespan can make countless people crazy!
Not all formal magicians are as gifted as George. With the help of his elder brother, he can barely climb the threshold, but he is a weakling.
Other formal magicians, after reaching this level and being recognized by the Magic Guild, will immediately learn "Encryption Magic" to cover up and blur the composition of the magic energy displayed in the process of releasing magic, so as to avoid being
People easily steal and learn from the past.
The above requirements originate from Regulation 38 of the "Laws of the Sacred Inviolability of Magical Knowledge".
Jon affirmed Zhang Guangmu's talent, but did not think that Zhang Guangmu would be his opponent now, so he dared to raise conditions.
But……
Zhang Guangmu did not follow what he said at all, but changed the topic and jumped to another aspect: "The chief consultant of Umbrella City next to me, Mr. George... The letter he wrote made me think about the [Undead Man]
Iron Ore] generated considerable interest."
"So I sent my confidants to conduct on-the-spot investigation."
"The so-called trouble with the undead is just a cover."
"The [Undead Iron Mine] is essentially a rich [mana particle crystallization deposit]."
"I think you should also know the news."
Zhang Guangmu said in a calm tone: "I can give you half a profit."
Hearing this, Jon's eyes flickered and he was a little shaken.
But after all, he still frowned and shook his head and said: "It's a little bit worse. If Moocheng wants to dominate the alliance, it must give up at least 30% of its interests."
Hearing this, Zhang Guangmu shook his head with a smile, scratched Yue Cake's furry little face, and said in a soft tone: "It's half done. If we can't reach an agreement, we'll just go to war."
"When the time comes, it will definitely be your side who will die."
Zhang Guangmu even spared a hand in his busy schedule and knocked on the table.
Bang! Bang!
Two groups of sparks splashed on the table, landed in place, and gradually merged.
This spark is like a stream of water, gradually absorbing "water vapor" from the air, constantly expanding, expanding, and finally condensing into the appearance of a three-meter-high golden-red human-shaped flame puppet.
The scorching heat caused heat waves in the room, causing George next to him to cover his face with his hands and take two steps back.
"This is……"
"The further improved magic of "Pride"."
Zhang Guangmu said with calm eyes: "I am different from your chief consultant."
"I can stay in Mushroom City and let it conquer Umbrella City."
"For a flame puppet like this, as long as there are enough magic gems and magic particles crystallized, you can have as many as you want."
George said that the rock puppet can kill targets hundreds of miles away, which is pure bragging.
At most, he can only allow the magical life he created to operate within a range of no more than fifty kilometers away from him.
Beyond this range, magical life will automatically collapse and dissipate between heaven and earth.
Zhang Guangmu felt vaguely...
It seems that I can barely fulfill George's boast.
It's just that if you want to do this, you need to spend a lot of energy and magic energy to maintain it, which is a bit outweighing the gains.
During the negotiation process, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zhang Guangmu felt it through the change in Qiaoen's demeanor. The other party also obviously knew that his threat just now was not feasible, so he added it casually.
"besides!"
"I can ask George to be one of the supervisory managers during the entire mining process."
Having said this, Zhang Guangmu looked at Qiaoen meaningfully: "Sir, times have changed."
"Maybe this year, maybe tomorrow..."
"When the time comes, let alone Baishuang County, even if we look at the entire Magic Star, we may not be able to save any pure land."
"In Mushroom City..."
“Definitely safer than in Umbrella City.”
Seeing a look of solemnity on Jon's face, but not shocked, Zhang Guangmu said leisurely: "Blue Star."
"That's the only word I can say."
"Everyone who understands understands. If you don't understand, even if I forcefully explain it, you won't understand."
Jon is a smart man.
Smart people tend to think too much.
After a while, he finally made up his mind: "Okay! Do as you say! I don't want half of the profit!"
"As long as you can ensure George's safety, I can support you unconditionally!"
Zhang Guangmu complained in his heart that he was a brother-in-law, but he said with a smile on his face: "No, no, no! Since you have to do what I say, then everything must be done as I say!"
"It's all about me!"
"No one can change the conditions I have set!"
"Even if it is for the sake of Zhang Guangmu's benefit, it is absolutely not acceptable!"
After all, Zhang Guangmu and Qiaoen have no emotional ties. They are only connected by interests. George is considered a proton. If he is not willing to pay even half of the interests, he cannot expect others to contribute and fight for his own interests wholeheartedly.
Already.
"..."
Jon was silent for a long time, and then said quietly: "Your Excellency is stronger than I thought, ten times more powerful."
Both of them are vigorous and resolute people.
After reaching a consensus of intent, Zhang Guangmu signed a contract with Qiaoen, and in the coming time, the covenant relationship between the two cities will be publicly announced to surrounding cities.
About two hours later, the alliance between the two cities was concluded!
Grinding becomes the master, and Umbrella City is the auxiliary!
After doing this, Zhang Guangmu and his party directly rejected Jon's warm invitation and invitation to stay, and immediately left the residence of the chief consultant of Umbrella City without any nostalgia.
Watching the two people leaving, George couldn't hold back his curiosity and doubts, and asked his brother: "Since they already know the truth about the [Undead Iron Mine], why don't they work overtime to open the mine?"
Jon sighed: "Stupid."
"He didn't know the truth about that mine before he came here!"
"I stood outside and heard everything clearly. He didn't even understand what a [Magic Gem] was!"
"This is definitely not a deliberate act of stupidity!"
"So...Zhang Guangmu is not [the heir of an ancient hidden magic family], but a commoner, even a wanderer, with extraordinary magical talent."
"He is where he is today all because of his own hard work and talent!"
"Between you and Zhang Guangmu..."
"The level gap is too big."
"With force and wisdom, you have been suppressed by him from the beginning to the end. You have no chance of winning."
"Even I don't dare to continue fighting with him."
Having said this, Jon closed his eyes: "The Lord of Mushroom City, Zhang Guangmu."
"What a terrible guy..."
The bratty brother George immediately expressed his dissatisfaction: "Zhang Guangmu's assassination talent is at a historical level, and his magic talent is also a top-notch existence that can only be produced once in an era! He is very powerful, but that's all! It's not as exaggerated as you said, right? I don't think so.
What do you think is special about his way of life? Does he really have the so-called 'wisdom'? I think he is just a reckless man!"
Jon opened his eyes, and his gaze fell on George's face like a knife.
After looking at his brother with pity for a long time, Jon said in a faint tone: "Don't think about what is there and what is not."
"When I get to Moucheng in the future, I will work hard, hone my management skills, and strive to master a certain skill."
"Later, I will hand over the position of Lord of Umbrella City to your... child."
"You are not young anymore. Get married as soon as possible and have more offspring. I will personally teach your children, regardless of gender, so that they have the talents to inherit everything in the family."
…
On the way back to Mushroom City, Li Xiaoxiao pretended to be calm and shared the goodies at the bottom of his box with Zhang Guangmu.
That is an ancient swordsmanship inheritance from another world.
Its name is...
"Ji Ancient Sword"!
