The Mage Association sounds like it has nothing to do with the church, but it is an organization under the religious order. Its purpose of existence is to give the apprentices who graduated from the Mage Academy a place to go. Impossible, the mage who completed the trial is usually an old man in his 60s or [-]s. After spending most of his life in the tower, he finally got freedom, and most of them would feel at a loss for the outside world.

The Mage Association, like the Academy, is heavily guarded by the Templars, has special personnel to take care of their daily life, someone to give them work and goals, and many familiar mage colleagues in it. It is indeed a good place to retire, so thousands of For them, the freedom they have fought so hard for is that they can receive a salary that is not too much compared to their ability, and it is as simple as going to the streets from time to time. -- "Feno Continental Encyclopedia·History"

"That is to say, they took my blood for research when my blood was about to flow out and I was seriously injured and dying?" Evandel held the bottle, with a chilling smile on his face .

"You understand that the effect of blood changes after you die." The pope said, "But anyway, this was already 200 years ago, and all the parties involved have passed away, so don't get too angry people."

"I know." Evandel dropped the words, put away the bottle and left. Palos said goodbye to the Pope for him, and hurriedly chased after him.

Avondel was full of anger, but he was not so impulsive that he went to the Mage Association to question them immediately. He went back to the hotel first, only to find that Ferdinand, the president of the Mage Association, had come to the door by himself.

Ferdinand is a half-elf, and he is almost 60 years old this year. Thanks to the longevity brought to him by that half-elf blood, his appearance is only about [-] or [-] years old, and he looks like he can still be strong for many years.His story is familiar to most people in the mage world. When he was young, he grew up under the care of the elves. When he was rebellious, he thought life was too ordinary and escaped from the forest. The academy has been closed for hundreds of years.

This is not such a likable guy. He was able to become the president of the Mage Association largely because of his long lifespan. After all, he has learned more magic than those old men in the association for hundreds of years, and he is also the oldest. , even when he was captured to the Mage Academy, Avondel hadn't left that place yet.

"Evandel..." The half-elf stood in the lobby of the hotel and spoke politely, "I haven't seen you for many years, and you have become more and more beautiful."

"Yet you still look so hopeless." Evandel didn't have a good look at him, but the other party just smiled as usual: "Can we talk inside?"

Evandel opened the door and entered the room without saying a word. The half-elf looked at Palos hesitantly. The young man in a formal dress followed him, took Avandel's cloak, folded it for him and put it away. , and went to tidy up a table of scattered manuscripts, with no intention of leaving at all.

He was silent for too long, and Evandel became impatient: "What are you looking for me for? If you have nothing to say, don't stand here as a roadblock, okay?"

"Cough...that's how it is. We heard that you came to the holy city of Mikalan and went to meet the Pope. The mages in the association are very concerned about this matter..."

"So I sent you here to find out what's going on?"

"...to express the concern of the Association." Ferdinand said with a smile, "After all, you are also a member of the Association of Mages."

"You added my name to the roster of the association without authorization, and I'm considered one of you. Can you stop being so funny?"

"Every sorcerer apprentice who has passed the trial is a member of the sorcerer's association. That's the rule, so you can't blame me." Seeing Evandel's disapproving expression, Ferdinand said flatteringly, "Although you have been wandering away all these years , but we have always kept your salary for you, and you can come and receive it at any time."

"I don't like that little money, you can save it to buy candy for yourself."

"Don't be so mean, okay?" Ferdinand couldn't help pulling his face down, but he didn't dare to really get angry, "In this world, mages are inherently vulnerable groups, and we should unite and help each other instead of being hostile to each other. Isn't it?"

"Vulnerable groups?" Evandel seemed to have heard some big joke, "Every mage has spent almost as long as others' lifetime to learn magic, even if the current mages no longer have the terrible lethality of the past, Our power is still enough to change the world, you are originally the best group of mages, but you are willing to hide here as lackeys of the church, and consider yourself a vulnerable group, it is really ridiculous!"

"The world is like this, what can we do? Should we rise up against the church? How many people will die and how much blood will be shed..." Ferdinand said helplessly, "Evandel, I know you are a very ambitious mage, but others People are not like you. They are all old. Maybe many people had the idea of ​​rebellion when they were young, but now they just want to maintain the status quo and spend their old age peacefully. Everyone has their own pursuits. Can we be considerate of each other? ?”

"If you all live in peace and contentment, don't bother me, I don't want to have anything to do with you, but what's going on?" Evandel took out the bottle containing his blood sample from his bag .

"Ah... this is... something left over from a long time ago, and it has nothing to do with me. You know that I hadn't even been to the Master Academy at that time."

"Don't change the subject, did I ask the origin of this thing?" Evandel looked at him sternly and asked, "Who is tracking my location with blood magic and reporting it to the Knights Templar? And extracting it from moon ragweed?" The alchemy process of suffocating poison like 'Kiss of Death' is only available in the Mages Association, who poisoned me? Or provided the poison to the Templars?"

"...I, I don't know."

"I don't know, you, the president of the Mage Association, are you just a mascot?" Evandel said harshly, "Well, please go back and let me know, the mascot, before noon tomorrow, if the Mage Association doesn't Hand over the person who murdered me and the evidence, and I will raze the entire Mage Association to the ground."

Ferdinand was taken aback: "Are you joking? This, this is the holy city of Mikalan, the headquarters of the Knights Templar, the center of the Church of the God of Light, and there are dozens of archmages in the association..."

Before he could finish speaking, the rune in Evandel's hand suddenly started to glow, and the black blade suddenly appeared. Before Ferdinand had time to react, it pierced like a bolt of lightning, and landed on the half-elf precisely. There was less than one centimeter in front of his forehead, and he was so frightened that he swallowed all the words that followed.

Palos was also taken aback, seeing that Evandel was not really going to kill, so he sat back down again.

Ferdinand's forehead soon began to sweat profusely: "This is... the wheel of the secret method? You, you really got it..."

"Do you think I'm joking?" Evandel said in a dark voice, "You all know that I am ruthless, I will retaliate, and I will use unscrupulous means, but I still have the courage to attack me. If this is the case, you must be prepared to be retaliated. "

Ferdinand's momentum has weakened a lot: "...but, but you can't be so unreasonable, most people in the Mage Association are innocent!"

"Oh, the majority?" Evandel squinted at him, "Who is the small part?"

"I, I don't know..." The half-elf's cold sweat was about to soak his collar, Evandel waved his hand, and the black blade disappeared, and he said calmly as if discussing what to have for lunch tomorrow: " That's it. Before noon tomorrow, if the Mage Association still decides to protect the person who murdered me, then you don't need to think about how to provide for the elderly. I don't care if there are a few innocent passers-by in it, anyway, let You so-called mages are no different than salted fish, now, get lost."

Ferdinand ran away almost in a hurry. Palos saw that he didn't even remember to close the door, so he walked over to close the door silently, and then asked puzzledly: "Who is Ferdinand, the president of the Mages Association and the well-known half-elf archmage?" ...is this level?"

"His spells are not bad, but he is really naive in dealing with people. After all these years, he still hasn't improved at all." Evandel put his feet on the table in a daze, and said lazily, "The church learned from so many Among the old mages, he was chosen as the president of the mage association because he is cowardly, stupid but obedient."

"Are other mages like this too?" Palos asked, "Can you really get the answer you want by threatening them like this?"

"Most of them are like this. I know them. These mages have been kept in captivity for too long, and they have already become as docile and timid as guinea pigs." Evandel said with a smile, "Maybe because I have been with me for a long time, you will I think mages are very smart and thoughtful. This is actually a kind of prejudice. The talent of magic will come to anyone without discrimination, no matter whether the person is born stupid or has a superior IQ. When I was studying in the mage academy, the students around me There are quite a few people who are stupid enough to be 30 years old and haven't finished the basic courses, but outsiders can't see them. After all, those stupid mage apprentices may not be able to leave the Magic Academy for the rest of their lives, and many of them died at a young age because of various mistakes. If they are dead, even if they pass the trial, it can only prove that their magic learning is okay, in fact, most of them are nerds."

Speaking these words from others, it may seem arrogant and self-important, but Evandel said it very convincingly, and Palos asked a little bit worriedly: "If they can't hand over the murderer tomorrow, what will you do?" Are you really going to kill them?"

"Not necessarily, we will talk about it when the time comes. What we have to do now is to eat, take a bath, and then sleep, so that we can get enough energy to deal with various emergencies."
