If there is any kind of person in this world who is more powerful than aristocrats, then it must be clergy who serves the gods and magicians with mysterious powers.

Although in a sense, magicians are just some extremely special scholars, they have a special status because the special knowledge they have called "magic" that ordinary people cannot learn and use at all.

The number of magicians is so rare that it is difficult to choose one of ten thousand people with magical talents. However, these magicians with special powers are so important to a country.

If there are few superb magicians in an army, thousands of troops will be just the targets of ravage and massacre by the enemy.

Therefore, no matter which king you are with, there is always a powerful magician who is most trustworthy and able to rely on. They are not only the strongest guards around the king, but also use their superb wisdom to guide their monarch in the right direction.

In addition to the kings' desperate attempt to find a loyal and reliable magician who was also powerful, the ministers who were calling for the wind and rain in the court and were in great power also tried their best to search for magicians who could serve them. In these aspects, anyone would spare no expense, because there was a powerful magician around him, which almost represented that person's unshakable status.

Although the demand for magicians is so urgent, the number of magicians has never increased.

This is a deep regret for every king. No matter how prosperous, rich and powerful your country is, however, a strong national strength does not help increase the number of magicians at all.

What's more, there are still a large number of those magicians who are unwilling to serve anyone at all. These magicians regard exploring magic knowledge as more important than anything else. Status, power, and reputation are simply something they don't consider in their eyes.

This makes the originally extremely rare magician even more accessible.

Francs is a world-famous magical French, with extremely superb magical civilization, but this does not mean that Francs has a large number of magicians.

In fact, Francis has fewer magicians than the neighboring countries, Ereth, and Delizhi.

Yilei has a prosperous economy and a developed culture. The coalition government formed by the united city-states has relatively stable political situation. In the nine hundred years since its founding, civil wars have rarely occurred. In addition to the rise of the powerful Eastern nation Thor in recent centuries, the originally most prosperous country has lost a large area of ​​land in the north, Yilei's long history is more of a prosperous record.

Therefore, the number of Yilei magicians is the largest, which is one of the reasons why this country, which has not fought several wars since its founding, can resist the invasion of the powerful Thor nation.

Xibai, the last descendant of this ancient empire, was once prominent for thousands of years. It not only possesses ancient traditions and long history, but also inherits the superb magical civilization that was possessed in the era of the ancient basil tower. If it weren't for this country, like most elderly people, Xibai would have been likely to have achieved magical civilization beyond other countries.

However, due to immersed in a long history and inexplicable satisfaction with everything he once had, Xibai inevitably weakened. Although there were many magicians, the magic civilization of Xibai had fallen far behind other neighboring countries centuries ago.

As for Delizhi, with a large population and vast land, this youngest country has shown an aggressive momentum. In just a few hundred years of history, this emerging country has more magicians than Francis.

These magicians were originally from other countries that were annexed by this emerging country.

Otire in the southeast of Deli, was originally a country famous for its power. This country with deep blood ties with Yile and Francis was completely annexed by Deli, and then included in the rule of Deli.

Franx became the next target of this huge country.

Although Francis does not have an advantage in terms of quantity, Francis has a leading number of advanced magicians, which is incomparable to other countries.

In Francis, the great magician named Kaimiltidi, who had long become a legend and a myth.

Although there was no other great magician of the same strength in the following centuries, as the highest level of magicians that ordinary magicians can reach, Francis has never had less than five, and even once had twelve magicians, which was almost a miracle.

Even now, Francis still has six magicians, far exceeding Yilei and Delizhi, and there is not even a single one as for Xibai.

Yi Lei had three magicians. Originally, they had four magicians, but in the last battle between them, not only did the country lose the three most prosperous counties in the north and nearly 200,000 troops, but also one magician.

Of course, their achievements were also rich. Thor left more than 500,000 corpses on Yile's land, most of which were fighting soldiers, and many were immigrants moved by King Thor. Thor's navy was wiped out and several coastal ports were burned into rubble.

In fact, if Yi Lei takes the opportunity to counterattack, he will be able to recover the lost land.

However, the Yilei Kingdom was formed by a dozen independent city-states, and most city-states were not willing to continue this war that seemed meaningless to them.

Thor asked for peace and the war was over. This was enough for most city-states. It was not worth spending huge military spending and tens of thousands of lives to regain a few counties that were insignificant to them.

What's more, compared with the values ​​of those three counties, it is more important to allow the trade between Thor and Yilei to be smooth. If it continues to fight, it will make the Thor king angry and close all transactions and sea routes from then on. For Yilei who has flourished with this, it will undoubtedly be a disaster.

Because of this, Yilei exchanged three counties and a magician for half a century of peace and prosperity.

Yilei didn't care about those sacrificial legions at all. His weapons workshop could create enough weapons to arm the same legion in just one year. Horses were not a problem. Yilei was good at raising horses, and the horse trade with Thor could quickly supplement the shortcomings of war horses.

As for the soldiers, the refugees who escaped from the three counties were enough to build three or four legions of this size; as for military expenditure, as long as the maritime trade channel remained unobstructed, money was nothing.

The only thing that made Yi Lei feel sorry was the magician and several other high-level magicians lost in this battle. This is not something that can be supplemented by wealth or someone.

What's more, the balance of strength between Yi Lei and Deli Zhi is broken.

Delizhi also has three magicians, and Delizhi has the most powerful knight legion and infantry regiment in the world.

Originally, Yi Lei was able to intimidate this fierce enemy by relying on the number of magicians in his hands exceeding Delizhi.

But now, the balance is broken.

In fact, Yilei was even more afraid of this potential enemy. In their opinion, the Thors were just greedy robbers who wanted to plunder Yilei's amazing wealth.

However, it is completely different to the point where he wants the complete surrender of Yilei.

Francis can only restrain himself from reaching the limit.

What Francis can rely on is nothing more than the magician he has.

It is precisely because of this that the magician has a superb status, not only the high-level magicians are treated with courtesy, but even a magic apprentice is also higher than that of an ordinary noble. Because for a noble, the promotion of a title is extremely difficult. If a lord wants to become a baron, he must make outstanding contributions to it. The promotion of a baron to a viscount proves that the family has a great local power in the local area and is enough to affect the political situation of a region. It is impossible for a viscount to obtain further promotion without military merit. In the past thousand years of founding, there are only five families that have not won the title of earl because of military merit or marriage with the royal family. The titles of Marquis and Duke are only granted to families that have huge power in the kingdom and have blood ties with the royal family. That is a lofty position that ordinary families cannot reach.

However, a magic apprentice is completely different. Who knows whether he will become a high-level magician or even a magician in the future?

In the eyes of the world, magicians are originally synonymous with a promising future.

Because of this, when Baron Brown proved with his extensive knowledge that Rebow was indeed a magic apprentice, everyone on the table stared at Rebow tightly.

To them, Lord Caveelle Egret Hyde no longer mattered. He was a civilian nobleman, or the Robeck family, who was born in the oldest and most famous in Yile, and this was nothing important.

Because the status of a magic apprentice has already surpassed all this.

Although I don't know what level of magician Mr. Mashke was mentioned by Rebow, as long as he was a magician, any door of the kingdom was open to him, and even if he met the king, it would be easy.

At this dining table, Ribo's status is undoubtedly the highest now, which has nothing to do with bloodline or something, just because this teenager is a magic apprentice.

Baron Brown respectfully handed the ring back to Rebe.

"Oh, Ribo, you have brought me so much surprise. I have never encountered so many shocking things in my life. Not only do you have the talent of the best diplomat, but you are also a magic apprentice. How enviable." Baron Lona exclaimed.

"From you see, what's going on here with abnormal rainstorms?" asked the Baron daughter.

"It's hard to say, according to me, that you accidentally encountered something when you rebuild the villa. You should have heard that magical things may not be as precious as my ring. You can see extraordinary affairs at a glance, a stone slab and a stone tablet, just like the four lonely stone pillars on the Engel and Sisphin Prairie. Who could have thought that it was an ancient magic ruin with extraordinary power? The magic world is so strange. The more inconspicuous the thing is, the more likely it is to be a priceless treasure." Ruibo explained.

These words are not nonsense.

Eckert once mentioned the large Sisphin stone pillars. Every noon on the summer solstice, when the sun rises above the head, a raging fire will rise in the central area surrounded by these four huge stone pillars.

The temperature of this fire is incomparable to any known flame. It is dozens of times higher than the magma temperature of a volcanic eruption, and almost any material will be evaporated by this flame.

Of course, things that will not be evaporated are definitely rare in this world, such as the Miyin used in the ring in Ruibo's hand.

Some people once speculated that the mysterious magic array composed of these four stone pillars might be a smelting furnace used to cast special weapons in ancient times.

"Inconspicuous things?" Baron Ronna frowned and thought hard: "It seems that nothing special is found. The renovation work seven years ago did not make it big. It just renovated the villa a little, painted the exterior, put some furniture in it, the low house next to it and the stable behind it were originally available, and the vegetable field was originally a lawn, which was the place with the biggest changes.

"Apart from that, there was no change. Because of the lack of manpower, the cellar had never been renovated, and there was nothing there. The only place with a big change was that the study was originally built on the south side of the second floor. Because considering that the room was the room with the most lighting in the entire villa, I transformed it into my wife's bedroom.

"As for the study, I moved to a corner to the west. There were originally two large bookshelfs and several statues in the study. I moved to a new place. Could it be that those bookshelfs or statues have problems?"

"Does there be any books left on the bookshelf? For the magician, his magic books often display powerful magic to avoid unexpected loss and stealing." Ribo asked.

"No book, not a book," replied the Baron affirmatively.

"There is a statue of a book." The fat man reminded.

"Statue of the book?" Ruibo asked.

"By the way, I remember that among the statues left there is a statue of a book, which I have embedded in the wall above the fireplace in the study. Could it be that this is causing trouble?" asked the Baron thoughtfully.

"It's still difficult to confirm now, you have to see it with your own eyes." Ruibo said.

"Then after dinner, I will accompany you to the study room to take a look, and you may find something." The Baron said with a smile.

"Don't forget me, I definitely want to attend such interesting things." said the Baron Brown beside Ribbon.

"I'm also very interested," Midit announced.

Although the others didn't say anything, they looked at their eyes and were obviously curious about such interesting things.

Baron Lona's dinner was not very luxurious, but it was quite sumptuous.

Because it is close to the seaside, aquatic products are of course rich and cheap foods, delicate and delicious tuna, thick and delicious saucer fish, tender and delicious eels, plus huge lobsters, sea crabs, and a variety of plump shell foods.

Of course, in addition to these, traditional chicken, duck, cattle and sheep are also indispensable.

This dinner really satisfies the guests.

Rebow also ate a lot, but he didn't touch the meat and fish at all. Although he always liked to eat these foods, Eckert prepared a special recipe for himself. The original Rebow Byndith was obviously a very picky guy. He almost didn't eat any other meat dishes except shrimp, crab and shellfish. Rebow had to follow this special recipe.

Ribo's picky eating obviously also attracted the attention of others on the table.

"Children, when they are growing up, they are so picky about food, which is not good for development." said the old man sitting at the other end of the dining table.

"Yes, you are so thin, and obviously your body cannot keep up with the growth of wisdom. You should eat everything so that you can grow into a man." Midit, who was sitting opposite, said.

He was indeed qualified to say such things. In fact, among all the men sitting at the dining table, he was the strongest in shape. Although he couldn't tell in his dress, Ribo was sure that Midit's muscles were even more developed than most Southport sailors.

Rebow is quite doubtful whether Midit is a knight. Many nobles have the title of knight, which has long become a symbol of honor just like their knight, but Midit can definitely be called a real knight.

Although his figure is not tall, he is extremely strong. Although his hands are as delicate and white as most nobles, they look extremely powerful.

And when he eats food, he eats everything just as he said.

"There is no way, this is a habit of many years. I can't swallow some foods no matter what," said Ribo.

"So what do you like to eat? Maybe we can prepare it for you, so we can't just let you eat this little thing." Baroness Ronna said gently. To the eyes of these noble ladies, it is not a big deal to pick food. As for whether Ribo looks like a man, his body will be too thin, he is not so disliked.

"Ah, you have to be welcome. The food here is quite rich for me, including lobsters, sea crabs, my favorite oysters, and these shells. I am already very satisfied. If there is one in my recipe and not one here, there are only octopus and squid, but I think most people don't eat these two things." Ribo said.

"Octopus and squid? Oh my god, someone actually eats that kind of thing. Oh, whenever I think of those octopus and squid's belly, I almost lose my appetite." The fat man shouted.
