Chapter 16 Your Choice(1/2)
The stern face always seems to make people feel a little uncomfortable
It was already late autumn, but the current climate was extremely stuffy and humid, which made the residents living in Colt even more upset. Not only because of this annoying climate, but also because the tall mage standing in the center of the city is the center of the mage association. Even in this city, few people dare to mention its existence.
Colt City is just a small city. The residents living here are like people in other places, with great fear of mages. If they can, they will never want to live in the same city as mages. But it is a pity that political issues have never been required to vote for civilians. If the Five Nations Alliance wants to control mages, they will naturally not let them live in the wilderness, otherwise God will know what these guys will do in private. For such dangerous existence, they naturally only need to keep it under their noses to watch.
The orders above were not the turn of the people below to question, so the residents of Colt City had to admit it. The only thing that made them feel at ease was that the paladins of the temple were monitoring these evil mages, which was also the reason why these residents dared to continue here. After all, the temple has always had a good reputation, and their paladins have indeed executed several mages in public, which has calmed the hearts of the people.
Although this is the base of the Mage Association, there are few mages in the entire city, because in the entire Colt City, no merchant would receive a mage, and no hotel would let a mage enter. Everything a mage needs is transported through the temple. They are even allowed to leave the door unless necessary. Even if they have to go out, they will never let others see that they are mages.
In the Five Kingdoms Alliance, the treatment of mages can be said to be different, but only Colt City is the most severe for mages. After all, this is the base camp of mages. Standing on the standpoint of the Five Kingdoms Alliance and the Temple, as long as they tie the collars, no matter how they struggle, they will be meaningless. Therefore, the mages here are not as good as those mages who can serve as court mages or even occupy a place in the city.
The residents of Colt City no longer remember that they had not seen a mage for hundreds of years. Only the tall and fearful mage tower would remind them that there is an evil that cannot be ignored inhabiting the city. However, on this day, the residents were surprised to find a man in a mage robe walking swaggeringly on the streets of Colt City.
“The environment is good.”
Looking at the tree-lined Colt City, Li Lin leisurely strolled on the gravel path, and said to Nia beside him. Nia was also wearing a white robe, holding her never-bearing staff in her hand and following Li Lin. Although her beauty still made everyone admire her, the two people appeared here now, and they were simply naked, saying "We are mages"
In Colt City, which is very sensitive to the mage, this is undoubtedly the same as the appearance of two tigers.
"I didn't expect these guys to find such a good place. It seems that they understand how to enjoy it."
Li Lin seemed to completely ignore the disgust, angry and terrified eyes around him, and sighed leisurely as if he was taking a walk after breakfast.
“It’s really beautiful here, and in fact, I like it very much.”
Shaking the staff in his hand, Nia responded with a gentle smile.
"So, why don't we go have a drink? Look at it so early, I'm afraid they haven't gotten up yet."
Li Lin said, stopped in front of a tavern, and then pushed open the door.
The originally bustling and noisy tavern immediately became quiet when Li Lin pushed open the door. Everyone looked at the two people walking into the tavern, almost unable to believe their eyes.
This, isn't this a mage? How dare they appear here?! What about the Paladin?
Although everyone clearly showed an unfriendly expression, Li Lin still seemed to have not paid any attention at all. He slowly walked to the bar and tapped the table gently.
"Two glasses of good wine."
"Get out!!"
And at this moment, the bar owner slapped the table hard.
"Get out! Evil mage!! I won't sell wine for the mage here, and I won't sell it any money! Did you hear this?! I won't sell wine for you, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, evil, what, king, eight, egg!"
"That's right, get out, mage, this is not a place you can come!!"
"Get out, get out! Get out of here!"
"If we don't leave, we will call the Paladin. Have you heard it? Alien?!"
Faced with the sudden anger in the bar, Li Lin just shrugged and asked again as if he had heard nothing.
"How much does it really cost, it won't sell it?"
"No! I said, do you little bastard get out? The evil mage should be locked in a cage. Where are you from?
The bar owner stopped before he could finish his words. His big face turned red, his mouth was wide open but he couldn't say a word. At this Hai, his throat had been pinched tightly by a palm radiant with magic, slowly lifting the huge body.
"I'll sell it if I'm going to sell it?"
Li Lin was still sitting leisurely on the chair, looking at the tavern owner floating higher and higher in front of him, and continued to ask.
And in this hurry, the tavern became quiet again. The angry storm just now seemed to have never happened. Everyone opened their mouths wide and stared at the unimaginable scene in front of them in surprise. Although they lived in the same city with the mage, because of the strict supervision of the temple, these people had almost never seen any magic. For them, magic like this is even more unimaginable. In the entire tavern, only the boss's slight exhalation could be heard.
First... the sail... also "sell? Will it not sell?"
With Li Lin's inquiry, the boss's voice became even weaker. He could only struggle hard, trying to break free from the irresistible force. His struggle also reminded the guests at this moment.
"Hurry! Go and inform the Paladin, there is an evil mage here to be crazy!"
The drinkers hurriedly tried to leave the tavern, but as soon as they took the first step, a dazzling light enveloped the entire tavern. Then, the people felt that their bodies became as stiff and heavy as stones, and they could not even move. At this moment, Nia put down the staff in her hand and sat next to Li Lin again.
Chuanyang refused to sell it. Then I had to use it to grab it
As he said that, Li Lin stretched out a finger and hooked it. Then a bottle of high-quality red wine flew to him. Then Li Lin took out two cups, filled the red wine, and then pushed one of them in front of Nia.
"Come and try it. Although the craftsmanship may not be as good as ours at that time, it looks more natural."
"The blueberry wine in Colt City is a little famous, but unfortunately it is not the season for blueberry."
Taking the wine glass that Li Lin pushed over, Nia shook gently, admiring the not-so-pure reflection inside.
"Drink whatever you want, I'll just walk out and have a walk anyway."
Li Lin didn't care. Apart from magic, he had no special hobbies, and he drank almost everything. So he drank the red wine in a glass in just two or three mouthfuls. The brewing technique was indeed not very exquisite, but adding a lot of fruit juice to make up for this, but it gave people a rough and delicious feeling. It was like a nobleman who ate gorgeous food all day, suddenly encountered a strange enjoyment that was just a roughly roasted pork leg.
"Let's go, those mages should have gotten up now."
He waved his hand casually, and the body of the bar owner who had lost his life fell heavily to the ground, making a loud collision sound. Then Li Lin stood up and walked out of the tavern.
Nia followed him, and only after Li Lin walked out of the tavern, she turned around. Looking at the people in the tavern who were still fixed in place, she smiled and raised her magic skills and gently knocked on the ground.
The cold negative energy swept across the entire tavern in an instant, extinguishing all the fire of life.
Along the way, Li Lin and Nia never encountered any obstacles again, because everyone who looked at them would dodge in horror, and Li Linduo didn't need to swear anything. So soon the two of them walked under the Mage Association Tower and then, they were stopped for the first time.
"Report your name and belongings, wizard!"
Two fully armed paladins intercepted their way, drew their weapons at the same time, staring at Li Lin and Nia coldly.
"roll."
Faced with such obstacles, Li Lin only said one sentence. Then, he did not even wait for the two eyes wide in surprise, as if he didn't believe what he had heard, and waved his hand casually. The huge airflow that appeared instantly immediately rolled up the two unlucky knights and threw them heavily on the gate of the mage tower. With a loud bang, the heavy gate shattered and flew away under the collision of the two knights. Then, Li Lin looked at the mage tower in front of him and sneered. "Nia."
Hearing Li Lin's summoning, Nia immediately raised the staff in her hand. The three crystals at the top immediately burst out with dazzling light. Magic runes flew out from it, rushed into the sky, and then suddenly opened up, covering the entire mage tower.
Li Lin looked at the runes that were constantly spinning in the sky, shrugged his shoulders, and then walked into the mage tower.
And just after the two entered the tower, the storm and flying sand that rose from the ground blocked everything.
At this moment, the mage tower was dark, and the mages were frightened and stared at the two people in front of them in surprise, not knowing what happened. Just now, they felt that the power of the magic that they had always held was suddenly completely cut off. No matter what they tried, they could no longer have any contact with their power. Even the magic array in the mage tower completely lost its effect. At this moment, Li Lin and Nia, who broke into the goal, naturally brought the mages a bad feeling. Especially when the mages found that there was still magic light surrounding them.
"Who are you?"
A mage who seemed to have a high status asked angrily, and his eyes trembled as he looked at the Paladin who had fallen to the ground and had no breath at all.
"You actually dare to kill the Paladins of the Temple. You are so brave!"
"Shut up, trash."
Li Lin was cold and his angry voice immediately interrupted the old mage's words.
"A person who has lost his self-esteem and glory and is only worthy of being a watchdog is not qualified to be called a mage." I don't talk much about the dog, and ask your mage association to come out to see me."
”
Li Lin's arrogant words made all the mages speech so surprised that they couldn't speak. Although their mages were indeed suppressed by the Temple and the Five Kingdoms Alliance, such naked contempt was not easy for these mages. They opened their mouths wide, but they found that they could not speak any rebuttals. The anger burning in Li Lin's eyes also forced those mages who were planning to roar and protest to shut their mouths.
Who is this young mage?
And at this moment, a voice in the dark answered the inner questions of all the mages. One, "It's really surprising that Lord Loshia, the dominant Lord, would take the initiative to come to our little mage tower."
With this voice, an old man slowly floated down from the sky and stood in front of Li Lin. Looking at the young man in front of him, he bent down deeply and performed the most solemn mage ceremony.
"Hello, the great Arcane Wizard, the current president of the Mage Society, Shu Latin Schelles said hello to you."
"It seems that there are still some people in the mage association nowadays who are not very useless."
Li Lin didn't care at all about the other party's point of his identity. After all, the Mage Association is probably the one who is most concerned about the Magic Empire. He activated the floating city, destroyed the capital of the Magic Empire, and snatched away the "Ode to Destruction" in front of them. It is not a fool, so it is normal to guess his identity. However, the strength of the president of the Mage Association looks pretty good at the moment. The condition of the "temporary mysterious lock" cast by Nia is "restricting the casting ability of all legendary and below level mages". The ability to cast spells in this mysterious lock means that the president in front of him already has the strength of a legendary mage.
"You're joking."
Although he was very calm on the surface, the president of the mage association of Xuan was also in a cold heart. In fact, since he realized that the energy of the entire mage tower was cut off, he had basically guessed who the person was. In this case, the president of the association was definitely unwilling to confront Li Lin head-on. You must know that the other party was a mage in the period of the Magic Empire, and an arcane mage at the top! Not to mention, as the president of the association, he had more information than others, which also made him very familiar with Li Lin's power.
The powerful skull barrier spell that only he could use, and if Li Linru knocked on him, he could even set the conditions as if no mage except himself was allowed to cast spells. By that time, these mages who had no ability to cast spells, including himself, could only watch others massacre themselves. Although the other party had not yet revealed the iconic magic tattoo and the Seven Rings Spirit Envoy, it was not good to not watch it for the president of the Mage Association. "It is not worthwhile to take a life to see this.
"So, Lord Arcane Sorcerer. What's wrong with you, right?"
"I'm not asking you for something."
Li Lin said, snapping his fingers.
"call."
At this moment, the originally dark mage tower became brighter again, and the magic flames provided light and illuminated the entire space again. Looking at this scene, the smiley face of the association president also became a little stiff.
He actually took over his control over the mage tower in such a short time? Are the arcane mages all monsters?!
"I'm here to find all the mages to have something to do."
Li Lin's voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the entire mage tower. At this moment, the president of the mage association was even heavier. He knew very well that this was not a magical effect. The other party had forced to open a magical communication that only he could use, communicating with all mage towers. This Xuan, his words can be heard not only in this mage association, but also in all mage towers on the continent.
"First, I'll introduce it to me."
Li Lin moved his fingers and looked at the mages who were standing on the stairs, looking at him with surprise, fear, awe, etc.
"My name is Loshia Keser Aerland. They are the thirteen arcane mages of the Magic Empire." These may be meaningless to you, mages. You have forgotten the tradition and the fate that our Magic Empire once suffered. You have learned the civilizations and techniques left over from the Magic Empire, but you have forgotten the sufferings it suffered. You shook your tail and begged for mercy and became lackeys of the Five Kingdoms Alliance and the slaves under the despair. Is it because of fear? Or because of powerlessness? Or are you just a group of cowards? Open your eyes and see, what does your concession bring? No one will give you respect. No one will appreciate everything you have done. You are just chess pieces in the hands of the Five Kingdoms Alliance and the Temple, a guardian dog."
Speaking of this, Li Lin paused for a moment before continuing.
"Are you willing to accept this fate? As mages, as users and successors of the art of mystery, why don't you stand up and resist this kind of treatment? Are you still considered a mage? All the knowledge you learned is from the period of the Magic Empire, but now you are using these spells to serve those who destroyed the Magic Empire!!"
Li Lin's voice grew higher and higher, and he became more and more angry. "This is the mage? You are also worthy of calling him a mage? You are just a bunch of waste! No one will respect the guy who licked the butt for the winner after the defeat. This is what you are now! A dirty and self-esteemless existence!"
To be continued...
