The Truth of Magic

105 chapter 105 trip to the branch

to the citizens of arthur, the mages ‘tall towers represented mysterious experiments and terrifying powers that could summon the wind and rain.

it was also the most mentioned place in the town’s legends, such as the frequent wails of demons in the middle of the night.

therefore, most of the town’s managers would divide the area and keep the wizard association away from the residential area to avoid causing panic among the residents.

Humans were just so magical. On one hand, they worshipped the powerful mysterious power, but on the other hand, they felt fear because of their ignorance.

This was also the reason why Zhao Xu was so surprised when he saw the wizard Association’s base nearby when he first stepped into Crescent Town.

After he finished talking to Fengye, he gently squeezed through the crowd in front of him and headed to the destination.

Compared to Hurricane city, there were more and more different types of humans in Crescent Town, which was near Southshore forest. And Zhao Xu accidentally bumped into a halfling that was shorter than his waist.

but zhao xu was an experienced player, so he still carefully protected his backpack in the crowd.

Who knew if there was a master thief with profound “hand skills” hidden inside?

as a rogue’s main skill, hand kungfu was also their signature skill. This

for a long time, rogues were also synonymous with thieves.

There were even a few hooligans on the streets who had nothing to do and were just looking for an opportunity to kill the foreigners. When they noticed Zhao Xu, who was dressed like a scholar, they all looked at him carefully, especially the backpack on his back. It looked like it was one of those valuable things.

After all, Antonya didn’t like those old-fashioned and simple skills.

Normally, adventurers who trained hard would spend most of their money on weapons and equipment. They would rarely pay attention to decorative items.

but when they realized that zhao xu’s destination was the headquarters of the association, they immediately became submissive. they were afraid that zhao xu would realize that they had once harbored evil intentions.

Zhao Xu looked at the mysterious symbols that represented the eight different schools of magic drawn on the door of the Association, then he shook his head and walked in.

he even suspected that he had a talent for disguising himself. he actually had a strong body with 14 points of constitution, and the hooligans mistook him for a weak scholar.

” hello, sir. how can i help you? ” as soon as zhao xu stepped into the entrance of the association, he was immediately stopped because he didn’t recognize the person.

At this time, there were already many service stations in the hall. The staff were all busy with their own business.

Zhao Xu immediately took out the wizard badge from his pocket and handed it over.

When he had left Mystra, Antonya had taken the old badge from his hands and replaced it with an official wizard’s badge.

There was a ring on the badge, indicating that he was a first circle mage who could cast first-level spells.

if one was able to cast a ninth-level spell, the badge would have nine rings, and one would be respectfully called a ninth-circle wizard.

the young maid in charge of the reception had a few faint freckles on her face. she respectfully took zhao xu’s badge and started to examine it.

In the middle of the badge was a line of words written in the common language: mage association/level 1 mage/zhongxia.

The words were wrapped in a ring that kept spinning, letting the maidservant understand that this was a real wizard badge.

Compared to forging such a badge, stealing a new mage’s badge might be much easier.

at the very least, no organization on the continent had replicated this technology, or rather, no one had the courage to do so.

But just as the female attendant was about to return the badge to Zhao Xu and ask him to go to the front desk to handle the relevant matters, she suddenly realized that this badge was a little thicker.

above the ordinary badges, there were some special badges!

remembering what the manager had told her, the maidservant quickly turned the badge over. it was a thin piece of pure silver, which was just embedded in the badge. as long as the buckle was gently removed, it could be removed and become just like an ordinary badge.

however, the maid was reading the words on the silver piece with a trembling voice.

” may magic always be with you. please do your best to assist the badge holder in all related matters. ” oz!”

the freckled maidservant couldn’t help but swallow a little as she looked at zhao xu in disbelief.

The last time someone had seen this badge in the town was when her supervisor was serving a maid. At that time, she was serving a high-level wizard from the Association’s headquarters.

And the words that the other party had inscribed were merely ‘please cooperate with the corresponding matters’, which was more than a level apart.

Even if there was nothing, just the name oz meant too much-the president of the Association headquarters, he might not be the strongest wizard in Arthur, but he was definitely the most powerful.

zhao xu knew how important his badge was, so he said softly, ” take me to see the person in charge here. ”

antonya had told him to take off the thin mithril that had runes on it whenever he was free. that way, the badge would be the same as the one that most level 1 novice wizards would have.

only when he really needed help would he pin the thin piece on.

To put it bluntly, if Zhao Xu took this badge with him and came here to borrow a few level 9 scrolls, he would be able to do so, but the prerequisite was that the town had to have it.

the President and Vice President left yesterday, so only the official is left in the branch. I’ll take you to see him. The maidservant hurriedly said respectfully, even lowering her head.

at this time, there were already a few waiters in the hall who were not working at the moment and looked over curiously.

“Don’t be nervous, you can just bring me there.” zhao xu said softly. even though he was in a bit of a rush, he never liked to show off his power to ordinary people.

In his previous life, even though he had become the town’s security officer and was in charge of the town’s security, he was still humble to the people at the bottom.

“Alright,” he said. The servant girl quickly led the way for Zhao Xu.

the wizard association would usually set up branches in various cities and towns, and the people in charge of the branches would be the president and vice president.

it was just that the owners of these positions were usually mages of some rank, and they were often busy with the research of the spells themselves. other than those who had a strong desire for power, they were generally too lazy to intervene in the affairs of the association.

Therefore, most of the time, the daily affairs of the Association were handled by the Registrar. This position was also the peak position that apprentices could reach in the Association.

there were even many mage families who knew that their descendants did not have the talent to cast spells, but still wanted them to become mage apprentices, just to meet the prerequisite of being the branch chief of the association.

In less than five minutes, Zhao Xu walked through a long corridor and saw the person he was supposed to meet at the end of the second floor.

after being introduced by the maid, the man respectfully took zhao xu’s badge and examined it again before returning it to zhao xu.

respected wizard zhongxia, let me introduce myself. I’m the official of the wizard Association’s branch in Crescent Town, Li Wei. after the registrar finished speaking, he lowered his head to zhao xu in greeting and then respectfully invited zhao xu to sit at the head of the guest room.

it was obvious that he already thought that zhao xu was a core member from the headquarters of the association. he might even be the nephew of one of the big shots in the association.

If the President and Vice President were here, they might be able to put on airs as seniors.

As a Registrar who had long since severed his path as a sorcerer, Li Wei did not have the guts to do so.

“Is there anything we can do to help you? please tell us.” li wei said humbly as he took out some of his precious tea leaves and made some tea for zhao xu.

Zhao Xu, who didn’t even have the right to step into the wizard Association in his previous life, couldn’t help but sigh at the fact that the wizard Association, a place where the strong were Supreme, would actually have officials like this.
