Master Tongtian

50 years ago, King Deuta VIII of the Golden Empire signed and issued the "Mage Order".

The purpose of the law is that mages are the inheritors of knowledge, the spokesperson of wisdom, and the most elite existence of the human race, so they enjoy a high status in the empire.

With the support of this decree, the status of mages has been unprecedentedly improved.

Among them, the status of formal mages recognized by mages guilds, temples, and lords has become particularly high.

No one, including the lord, may restrict the freedom of life of an official mage without reason, may not damage the body of an official mage easily, and must not insult the personal dignity of an official mage. Furthermore, he must treat the official mage favorably and provide him with decent living conditions.

The location of the Silver Moon Castle Mage Guild fully illustrates the lord's favor to official mages.

In Rosen's eyes, this is a gorgeous palace.

The spotless granite floors, thick and exquisite marble columns, the exquisite reliefs on the walls, and the magnificent main hall all show a kind of luxury that is far beyond the ordinary.

Not to mention the people walking in the palace.

A robe that looks simple but hides luxury, a top-quality moonstone as big as a cat's eye, or a sapphire as big as a pigeon's egg. Or the reserved manner in which he raised his chin slightly and looked down at others, all seemed to be saying the same thing.

Attention, mortals, in this gorgeous palace, the most beautiful and noble existence in the world is hidden!

When they arrived here, the high-ranking warrior Xia Bolai shrank his head like a quail, not daring to show any arrogance.

As an official member of the mages, Thrandis took out his mage emblem from his pocket.

The mage's emblem is made of pure secret gold and appears in a luxurious and mysterious lavender color, which means that the caster is an intermediate-level official mage.

There are 12 sesame-sized flawless sapphires inlaid around the emblem, which means that the official mage has a 12-star spellcasting ability.

She pinned the emblem on her chest, and the tattered beggar woman's clothes immediately transformed into unique fashionable clothes.

As a result, all the eyes directed at her immediately changed from disdain to admiration.

As for Rosen, he was also a little shocked by the wealth of the Mage Guild, but he was a low-key man, so no matter where he was, his external performance did not change much.

The lobby on the first floor was very busy, with people coming and going, not much inferior to the Chengnan Market.

Rosen discovered that most of them were actually informal mages. They had manuscripts in hand and listened to their conversations. Most of them were here for the exam.

This shows that the formal mage qualification is very noble, and the competition must be very fierce.

Rosen thought to himself: "This is really an alien version of Kao Gong."

After the three of them entered the hall, a young man wearing a navy blue silk mage robe came up to them.

"This is an important place for magic. No one is allowed to enter. Can you three make a reservation in advance?"

Chabolai shrank his neck and silently took a half step back, showing Thrandis in front of him.

Thrandis naturally did not have stage fright and said softly: "Mage Philama, I have something important to see the president."

She is a mid-level mage, and her spell-casting ability is extremely high, while the young man in front of her is a newly promoted low-level official mage, with only a Mithril four-star emblem on his chest.

Although there is a huge gap in the quality of clothing between the two, the huge gap in magical achievements makes the latter have to bow his head.

"It's Ms. Thrandis."

Philama first bowed respectfully to the lower mage, and then looked confused.

"If I remember correctly, you were recently involved in a brutal serial murder case, and you are the biggest suspect, right?"

Thrandis shook his head: "There have been new developments in the case. I have been revoked as the first suspect by the Sheriff's Department and the wanted order has been cancelled."

"I can testify." Chabolai said weakly.

"Oh~ I see."

Philama stepped aside to get out of the way: "Then, the three of you, please sit here. Mr. Phelan is very busy. I will notify you in advance and ask for his opinion."

"Well, please."

Thrandis, who was as enthusiastic and lively as a little girl in front of Rosen, also seemed very reserved at the moment.

The three of them were taken to a small rest hall, and Philama quickly turned around and left.

About a quarter of an hour later, he hurriedly returned: "Ms. Thrandis, Mr. Chaballet, and this..."

"This is Rosen, my most effective apprentice. I was able to get rid of the suspicion of the murderer so quickly because of his great contribution, and he also knows the case best, so I hope he can sit in together."

"Oh, then come together. Mr. Phelan is willing to spend a quarter of an hour listening to your statement."

The three of them followed Master Philama, along an inconspicuous corridor against the wall, through the gorgeous hall, up the flawless white marble spiral staircase, all the way up to the top floor of the hall, then passed through the spacious and bright corridor, and finally came to a A spacious room decorated in a very heavy style.

After entering the room, Rosen secretly looked at the layout.

Soft carpets, warm fireplaces, huge windows, a huge desk with carved black jade wood, and an old man with gray hair sitting behind the desk.

As soon as he saw this man, Thrandis knelt down and bowed to the lower mage, saying, "Mr. Phelan."

Xia Bolay also performed the warrior salute at the same time, and Rosen followed his mentor and performed the lower mage salute.

While saluting, he quietly glanced at the emblem on the other person's chest.

Shining with the light of emerald green broken stars, it seems to be extremely precious meteorite gold. The outer ring is set with 15 sapphires, which means 15 stars of spellcasting ability.

"A 15-star high-level mage at the pinnacle is amazing! However, the instructor is clearly above 20 stars, but only shows 12 stars. I guess this person is also hiding his strength.'

On the other side, Feren nodded in response, his deep gaze slowly turned around the three of them, and finally landed on Rosen. To be more precise, it landed on the crescent moon staff in Rosen's hand.

A gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Aha~~ Has Silver Moon Castle's proudest and loneliest genius spellcaster finally found his spell successor?"

Listening to these words, it is like a joke between elders and juniors.

Thrandis pursed her lips and smiled with emotion on her face.

"Yes, the way of magic is vast and endless. After many years of pursuit, I finally discovered that I am not the chosen one, I am just a little brighter among the many stars."

"Hehehehe~~"

Feren laughed kindly, and after he stopped laughing, his expression became solemn.

"Thrandis, I have never believed the rumors about the murder, but I must respect the evidence. Tell me how you got yourself into such a scandal."

Thrandis concentrated his attention and began to talk about his recent experiences.

Rosen on the side also listened attentively, not missing any detail.

It turned out that Thrandis had noticed something was wrong shortly after the murder occurred, but she spent most of her time immersed in spell research, so she didn't pay attention.

When she discovered that someone was trying to pour dirty water on her, she went out late at night many times to try to find out the murderer hidden behind the scenes.

It was precisely because of this move that he was bumped into by Xia Bolai, who had been chasing the murderer, and this led to a series of misunderstandings.

After listening, Fearon asked: "I have also done some understanding of the case. I would like to ask, how can you explain the evidence found from your residence?"

Thrandis looked at Rosen: "I can't explain it, but I believe that since my apprentice was present throughout the whole process, he can."

"Oh, interesting."

Fearon looked at Rosen.

Rosen was not afraid of the stage. He took a step forward and said in a very sure tone: "It's a frame-up. I have two pieces of evidence."

"First, I saw the instructor's cubicle that day, and there were no messy bottles in it. Second, it was collected from the window. They were fresh footprints on the windowsill that had not been wiped clean."

He didn't talk about fingerprints because the world might not recognize them.

"Interesting. The first evidence is too subjective, considering that you are Thrandis' apprentice, so it cannot be accepted. As for the second evidence, how was it proved?"

Rosen was well prepared: "When I arrived at the scene, the sludge on the window sill had not dried completely, so I did a comparative experiment. On a cold winter night, it only takes about 20 to 35 minutes for the sludge to reach a similar drying state. My mentor was not in the cabin for a while.”

A pretty good alibi, enough to prove Thrandis's innocence.

Feren clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Very careful observation, and complete trust in the mentor. Thrandis, I somewhat understand your choice."

Thrandis was also a little happy and asked: "Mr. Phelan, can my suspicion be lifted?"

Fearon nodded: "The moment the real culprit appeared, your innocence was restored. As for the Sheriff's inquiry, please cooperate as much as possible. After all, formal mages also have the obligation to maintain public order."

Thrandis nodded: "As you wish, President."

"Then, the Chengnan Market murder case has nothing to do with you. I'm a little tired, so I'll leave."

"yes."

The three of them bowed respectfully again, and then exited President Fearon's room one by one.

It wasn't until he arrived outside the mage's guild that Xia Bolay, who had always behaved like a quail, let out a long breath.

"Hmm~ Those mages always look at others with unconcealable contempt in their eyes, which makes people feel panicked."

Thrandis glanced at him: "To be precise, there is contempt in your eyes. It does not include me and my apprentice."

Xia Bolai chuckled, although his smile faded: "Um, I'm sorry for last night. I saw you standing next to the corpse with a blood-stained knife in your hand, and I misunderstood you."

Thrandis shook his head: "No need to apologize, this is not your fault. Although I was checking the knife at the time, the scene was indeed misleading, and upon closer consideration, it seemed more like the real murderer had done it deliberately. arrange."

Xia Bolay nodded to express his understanding, but he was also a little confused: "Why do you think Olek put so much effort into framing you?"

Thrandis shook his head: "Who knows. Okay, let's leave this matter as it is for now. I'm tired, Rosen, let's go back?"

Rosen appeared in time: "Mentor, do you want to go back to the hound house or your cabin?"

"Of course it's our cabin. I believe that my dearest apprentice will be able to restore order in the cabin as soon as possible, right?"

"Yes, mentor."

Thrandis turned back to Shabolai and smiled, waving his hand in farewell.

"Thank you again, Chabolais, for giving me a very, very good apprentice."

Xia Bolay was stunned and stunned for a moment, unable to speak.

On the other side, the master and apprentice walked in silence for a while.

After getting some distance from Xia Bolay, Rosen broke the silence.

"Mentor, the real murderer is Veronica, right?"

He was inside the house of prey at the time, but Thrandis was outside, and he had most likely seen the real culprit.

Thrandis nodded slightly: "Yes, it's her."

Rosen asked again: "How does the instructor plan to deal with this matter?"

"Of course, let her pay the price. Of course, acting impulsively is not the mage's style. You must first understand the opponent deeply before discussing specific methods."

After a pause, she turned to look at Rosen.

"In addition, my dearest apprentice has made rapid progress, much beyond the teacher's expectations. I need to get to know him better."
