Chapter 1,458 The Influence of the Holy City

The news that a certain magician had returned to the holy city of Estali could be said to have reached the ears of everyone who cared or didn't care at an extremely fast speed.

Most people still don't believe in a man who can fight the Lord of Guardians, massacre a grand dukedom, and even dig up the land.

It's just that people from all sides of the Karlsruhe Empire have testified, and all kinds of weird rumors are flying all over the sky. If others say they don't believe it, all kinds of evidence will be thrown down.

Among those who provided evidence, there was even the tower owner of the Magic Tower. If you still don’t believe it, why don’t you go to the tower masters in person to practice?

There is definitely an element of exaggeration in these news, and the news from Midi does not have the kind of impartial and true reporting. But as long as half of it is true, it means that the magician not only cannot offend, but also tries his best to win over him.

However, everyone remained silent for the first time, trying to see which way the wind was blowing.

In fact, it is not surprising to think so. There are too many people in history who tolerated things for a long time and showed all kinds of kindness, but once they changed, their personalities and attitudes were completely different from the past.

Therefore, just because a certain magician was easy to talk before does not mean that he will be equally easy to talk after showing his fangs.

If someone is not forward-looking and is so unlucky that he encounters someone who wants to take revenge on society, then today next year will be his death anniversary. No one wants to have such an experience.

But everything must have a beginning. The first people to come to someone are of course those people with whom they have good friendships in the past. I think I have never offended anyone, so there is a high probability that I will not suffer retaliation or anger.

The great magician Kabanbai is the closest, and he has also strongly supported someone to stay in the Holy City. He is an old friend who is both a teacher and a friend.

Not to mention Lin’s current position in mathematics was established at Kabambai College. Although he has been on the front line of mathematics teaching recently, he still has Fen's life lessons at Kabanbai College, and the relationship between the two parties is still very good. So the old magician came to the door first.

In addition to his own concern, there are also many magicians in the Holy City who are also concerned. Many of these people are close friends of the great magician Kabamba, or powerful figures in the Holy City.

They had nothing to do with the topical figure, so of course they had no choice but to ask Cabanba to come out for an interview. Therefore, the old magician has shouldered the expectations of quite a few people.

Magicians are not bound by territory like nobles. As free agents, they can afford to say, "You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat." So the magicians' idea is very simple, they just want to know that one's plan.

If the cost is not high, it is not difficult to accept that everyone can maintain peaceful coexistence or even join his army.

After all, the great mathematician has a good reputation and does not have any bad behavior that would make people and gods angry. Nominal submission is nothing to a magician who values ​​practical results. Everyone gathered in the holy city of Estali, doesn't it mean the same thing?

If the price is too high, no one can afford it, and the most they can do is move away. Maybe some people who are unwilling to be oppressed will gather together and fight hard. Victory or failure is another matter.

Facing the question from this old magician who was kind to him, Lin did not hide his thoughts at all. That is to study magic and live a stable life.

For such a reason that seems incredible to outsiders, the magicians believe it. Not for anything else, just because this is the choice that many magicians would make.

The reason why most of these people are unable to realize such a dream is simply because they do not have sufficient funds for magical research. So they have to come forward to find money or make money, hoping to achieve the financial freedom of the lost version.

Not all magicians are obsessed with power, the more powerful the magician, the more so.

For this type of people, if they are strong, then money and power will follow, and these things are just accessories. If one's own strength is not up to par, no matter how much money is spent to gain a position, one will not be able to keep it or will be pulled down.

This kind of truth... is correct in the world of Midi, a world with great personal power. There is no saying in this world that no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you can't defeat a bullet; if you can defeat ten, you may not be able to defeat an army.

In my hometown, power represents everything, and in Midi, strength represents everything.

The great magician Kabamba left. In addition to college affairs, he was so busy all day long that it was remarkable that he could find time to talk to someone. Don't expect this old man to stay long and chat about nonsense. After getting the answer he wanted, the old magician couldn't sit still and left.

He also needs to spend time replying to those magicians who are also concerned about this matter, and there are different ways of responding according to the distance between them. As for whether those people believe it or not, it's not the old magician's business.

At least after meeting him today, the great magician Kabambai was sure of one thing. Although he holds the title of Grand Magician and has missed a lot of training due to matters at the academy in recent years, even if he was at his peak, he would not want to challenge the person in front of him.

】

Of course, this is not some kind of combat effectiveness analyzer. You can see the difference in strength between the enemy and ourselves at a glance. It's not a sixth sense. You can tell whether the opponent is a dragon or an insect just by feeling.

In my hometown, to know a man's financial resources, of course, you need to look at external items such as clothes, watches, and leather shoes. Most of the time these external objects have reference value. Although it is not ruled out that there are those who love vanity, so they pretend to be fat, or there are those who obviously have a lot of money, but like to dress like beggars.

In the Lost World, especially among the magicians, there is no such thing as trying to make someone look fat. Because the equipment is for life-saving purposes, no matter how good it is, it cannot be too good. The quality of equipment is also a part of strength.

If when they met, the magic shield barrier used to protect his life would be completely broken by the strange metal balls flying all over the sky in the blink of an eye. If he didn't run away directly, it would be enough to trust the magician's character.

Although as long as you replace the magic stones on your equipment, your magic shield barrier can be re-established, but those metal balls will not be consumed!

There are hundreds of them. Although their flight leaves obvious and strange trajectories, their movements cannot be predicted. It doesn't look like it's controlled by humans, and there are no rules in it.

Just looking at this hand, the great magician Kabamba gave up the idea of ​​competing with the person in front of him. I can't afford to be hurt. The magic stones that needed to be replaced were not cheap ones at the Hong Yao level. Just exploding one of them would be enough to make him feel distressed.

Of course, this was all just an accident. Haggiri Kenmaru and the others were having fun when the old magician barged in.

After sending away the old magician who came to visit, after a few days of peace, another old man with an aggressive personality was welcomed. If he were to make a list of the noble people he had met and rank them in order, this old man would definitely be ranked first.

He was the one who transferred the title of Grand Duke to his son, and also handed over all his secondary titles, but his actual authority was no less than before.

The old man didn't look cautious at all. He sat on the sofa in the living room with his eyes wide open, staring at someone until his spine felt cold. I don't know if he learned this skill from the women in his own family, or if those women learned it from him.

As for the escort knights who were no longer the Duke's Guard but were reorganized into the First Regiment of the Militia, they stood in a row behind the old man. In terms of momentum, it is full of momentum. It makes someone want to complain, whose militia looks more powerful than the top regular army.

Although he thinks he is as skinny as a city wall, it is not a problem to carry a few Star Destroyer Cannons. But Lin was not used to staring at an old man to see who would laugh first. So Lin took the lead and said: "Old man, you came all the way here just to stare at me and make me unable to do anything. I am very busy." Someone said in his heart: Pretending to be busy.

Since the old man has no title, he can no longer be called 'adult'. Although in the eyes of common people, anyone who is a member of the nobility can be called this, but I still care about whether it is correct or not for such a small place.

In fact, you can use 'Your Excellency', which was originally only for dignitaries but is now widely used. This kind of honorific has nothing to do with status.

But the old man has seen enough in his lifetime of flattery on the surface and criticism and curses behind his back, so he doesn’t want to hear such snobbish honorifics after he retires.

But to be able to call the old man by his name directly, he must be at least the same age. If juniors like Lin dare to be presumptuous, Bao will turn his back on them in a minute. So Lin used the title "Old Man". The old man seemed very satisfied and wanted others to follow suit.

Fortunately, someone didn't use 'Lafayette'. It means that there is no Buddha in Lost Land, so he probably won’t accept such a title. Lin thought so.

Faced with the magician's doubts, the old man suddenly relaxed his face, smiled broadly, and said, "How about, lend me your troops. After defeating all the Mysterious Lands, we will divide it equally."

Lin refused without thinking and said directly: "No. It is the power of destruction, not the power of domination. If the old man wants to destroy someone, just tell me and I will ensure that they will not see the sun tomorrow. But I want to If you expect a group of non-human beings to rule over a conquered place, I can guarantee that in the end, you will wish you had destroyed those places."

"Oh, why do you say that? Aren't they a new race from the abyss?" Ricardo Kawi asked.

Lin shook his head and said, "No. They were originally earth element elves, and their current appearance is what I transformed them into."

"The earth element elves are worse than demons." The old man said with emotion.

"That's right."

Although demons are synonymous with chaos, humans are still useful to demons.

Humanity's faith can achieve the status of the Evil God of the Abyss. Human flesh and blood is the best food and sacrifice for demons. The greedy human soul is the best medium of exchange in the abyss.

It can be said that people, whether alive or dead, are useful resources to the devil. Therefore, when it comes to dealing with humans, the devil will not take advantage of it.

But elemental elves don't need this at all. Humans are useless to elemental spirits.

And this so-called "useless" is a terrible thing, which means that no matter what the elemental elves do to humans, they will not take it to heart. Even if everyone dies, it will not be a pity.

It's just that in the past, when elemental elves came to the Lost Land, they had to make corresponding sacrifices to replace their bodies and wills. And these things are consumed. When exhausted, the elemental spirits will be forcibly sent back.

But...the transmission method of the robot fleet combined with the Vap engine seems to have broken the inherent limitations of the elemental elves. No wonder it attracted the attention of the Guardian Lord.
