The magic equipment building was in full swing, but Fugai and Bates, who were walking next to Ji Xing, were silent for a long time. They were no longer as enthusiastic as before. They only spoke a few words when they encountered something that needed to be explained.
What just happened really shocked them. They wanted to ask a few questions, but they didn't know where to start. They were also a little scared.
What is the actual combat evaluation of the fifth-level mage?
As an apprentice, Bates was too far away from that and had no idea at all. Even Fuguet, a third-level magic equipment master, only knew the general content of the academy's combat evaluation of fourth-level mages.
After certain preparations and arrangements, you can also borrow casting materials. The maximum destructive power can destroy a street or explode several buildings at once. In actual combat, you can defeat an army of hundreds of people alone. Only then will you have the opportunity to rise to the fourth level.
class.
There should be no mage promoted to level five through actual combat evaluation in the academy at present. The only one seems to be directly awarded by the empire. Even Fugai has never seen him in person. He only knows that some of the treasured materials in the academy are from the other side.
I picked it up easily while traveling.
Will the person in front of me be another one?
Or Mrs. Piltover?
Isn’t it a city of science and technology?
They don't 'judge people by their appearance', because powerful mages often have good looks and unique ways to stay young. Ji Xing, who looks about 20 years old, may actually be in his 50s or 60s, but he just hasn't joined before.
The Noxian School of Magic also has a low reputation.
What's more, Ji Xing did show his hand just now. The action of grabbing Catalina's dagger with his bare hands was so simple that Fugai didn't even see the trajectory clearly.
But he himself is a blacksmith, and his level is based on accumulated contributions over time. He can't judge the level of the hand he just made at all.
After walking through several workshops in this way, he briefly talked about which equipment in the imperial army was born here. After struggling for a long time, Betus suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Master Sewell, you have just joined the academy, how many days must it take?"
I have an apprentice to help you with your chores! What do you think of me?"
Regardless of whether it can have level 5, level 3 or 4 is there. Although with the current situation in the empire, mages who are good at fighting are temporarily useless, the empire will still launch a war sooner or later!
What's more, he is an apprentice with no background, and his academic skills are not very good. Unlike those guys from big families, how can he have so many choices?
Ji Xing glanced at him and nodded: "I won't stay in the academy for a long time. I will go out often. If you don't care, just follow me from now on."
"No...ah, I mean no, why would I care?" Bate suddenly became excited and bowed somewhat incoherently.
Fugai, who was next to him, was also shocked when he saw this. What am I thinking here? No matter what level he is and whether he wants to say hello to the commander or not, at least he is better than me! Why can't I react faster than an apprentice?
His expression was filled with enthusiasm again, and just at this moment, he met another female mage.
She looks about 30 years old, a little chubby or plump, but her pretty face is hardly friendly, and instead looks gloomy.
"Hmm? Fugai, isn't today your day off?" She was a little surprised when she looked up and saw Fugai, and then her eyes turned to Ji Xing.
"Hmm, newbie?" After confirming that she had never seen him before and that he was not an apprentice, she 'knew' the situation in front of her in an instant, looked at Ji Xing and said: "Don't listen to Fugai's boast, the status of the magic equipment department in the academy is at the bottom.
If you have never been exposed to this area, or are not very interested, and have other options, try not to come here to work as a blacksmith. I think you are not very old, so don’t choose the wrong path."
Fugai: "..."
The woman ignored his unnatural expression and continued to talk to herself: "I have been tortured crazy by that Cui Fali lieutenant in the past two days. It's just a few daggers, and the demand is more than those life-saving magic equipment. The other party is so powerful to Swain."
When the commander's orders come, I can only cooperate fully.
Which mage in the academy can be as frustrated as our equipment department? I regretted entering this hellish place without opening my eyes 10 years ago!"
She glanced at the elevator and said: "Speaking of which, she went to test the effect of the new dagger an hour ago, and she hasn't come back yet. She must have finally met her requirements... Oh, rude guy, he didn't even say thank you.
?”
At this time, Fugai, whose mouth was twitching and panicked, finally found an opportunity to interject: "Eugenie, don't talk nonsense! Master Sewell has his own judgment on how the magic equipment department is. He is the one who wants to apply for the fifth-level mage practical examination!
"
"...Huh?" Eugenie was stunned, and after a few seconds she said unhappily: "Fugai, this is a bit too much! Do you want the newcomers to become the laughing stock of the academy first and only join the equipment department?!"
Fugai: "..."
He looked at Ji Xing at a loss, but saw that Ji Xing was just smiling and watching the show. Bates originally wanted to help explain, but seeing Ji Xing like this, he also lowered his head in silence knowingly.
Eugenie took two steps closer and said: "Master Sewell, is that right? I don't know what Master Fugai said to you before. Please forget it all now. If you have any questions, you can ask... Oh, I
Noxus!"
Her tone suddenly changed mid-sentence, and her gloomy face seemed to be wearing a mask of pain, because she saw a figure walking out of the elevator.
"Vice General Catalina, are you dissatisfied with the new magic dagger?" She said in an excited tone, somewhat off guard.
Catalina also had a cold look on her face and looked at her and said: "The lethality is enough, but the weight is a little too heavy, which will affect agility."
Eugenie gritted her teeth and said: "Admiral Catalina, I hope you can make it clear that although magic is magical, it is not a gift from the gods! It's just a few daggers. You need to be light, destructive, and piercing.
I suggest you not to waste time here in the magic equipment department, and go to the ice field to find the legendary Flame of the Mountain Hidden!"
Catalina frowned: "Is that so? It has to be the beginning. But Master Eugenie, I must remind you that we are all working for the empire. My high demands are not just for myself, but also for the empire.
You who are equipped with magic equipment should also hold yourself to higher standards!"
Eugenie: “…”
Ji Xing could clearly see that if she hadn't been defeated, Eugenie would have wanted to tear Katarina apart, and she couldn't help but smile.
Catalina had already walked to Ji Xing's side and said: "Mage Sewell, Commander Swain has specially awarded you the title of 'Fifth Level Mage'. You can send an apprentice at will to receive your robe and
A magic nameplate."
"..."
Silence.
Eugenie, who was gritting her teeth, was a little confused. Fouquet, who was somewhat mentally prepared, also swallowed hard. Only Bates showed a look of ecstasy after a brief daze.
Special Grant, what does it mean?
Not only does the mage I follow possess level five power, but he is also famous, and even Commander Swain respects him!
When Ji Xing raised his head, he immediately bowed in response and went to get Ji Xing's things.
"Really, can it really be level five?!"
Eugenie muttered something in a low voice, looked at Fugai, and then looked at Ji Xing in astonishment. After organizing her words for a long time, she spoke respectfully:
"Congratulations on obtaining the fifth-level title. Dear Master Sewell, I apologize for the rudeness before. Well... the magic equipment system is indeed not a good choice for newcomers, but for a fifth-level mage like you, it can be used as a
Let’s find out about your interests and hobbies, and I don’t think anyone would dare to make unreasonable demands on you.”
Obviously, her mood of wanting to tear Catalina apart has not changed, and her words are still full of hidden meanings. Most of her suggestions to Ji Xing are sincere, and she also wants to find a backer for the equipment department.
Ji Xing nodded towards her: "I am indeed somewhat interested in the art of making magic equipment. Master Eugenie, why don't you leave the job of making the magic dagger for Deputy Katarina to me? Well, I'll learn while I'm making it. If you can
It would be better if you can take care of her by your side."
Catalina suddenly looked at Ji Xing.
What does this mean?
Eugenie didn’t understand either. Is this helping? Or is she punishing this damn Catalina?
Ji Xing smiled and said: "Admiral Catalina, I am Sewell from Piltover."
Of course I know... Catalina's mind turned around and she suddenly realized. Yes, I was so shocked that this guy turned out to be an extremely powerful mage that I almost lost my bearings. I almost forgot about the ability that he is famous for, and he is more widely known.
identity.
He is the chief craftsman of the Philos family, a place where technology gathers, and the top scientist in Piltover. His scientific research technology can almost compete with the best in Rune Land. Apart from enchanting technology, he is an expert in creating magic equipment and so on!
No, it's still not right.
Her voice was condensed: "My dagger may be used to assassinate Madame Camille."
"No, you will not receive another mission to Pi City." Ji Xing said.
...Yes, compared to Sewell, Camille is no longer an insignificant role.
"But I assassinated Camille."
"It's not for you." Ji Xing turned around: "It's for Master Eugenie. People treat me with sincerity, and I'll reciprocate with sincerity. Although her previous persuasion didn't help me, I still have to keep it in mind. Since she
It's a headache to make a dagger for you, so I'll take over this job. For me, it's just a matter of practicing my skills."
Eugenie was startled.
Fugai felt that he understood. This seemed to be 'pointing' at me? He didn't dare to show anything on his face, and was even a little panicked, but in his heart he couldn't help but started to curse: To put it simply, do you think it will be easy to create magic equipment?
!It sounded like it was helping Eugenie and not causing any trouble, which would be great!
…
"When people treat me with sincerity, I return the favor with sincerity?" In the Immortal Fortress, Swain softly repeated Katarina's narration.
This sentence is also said to me.
He realized this clearly, his eyes were deep, and the hidden meaning in his words was that the pale lady had given him some kind of help?
It couldn't be about enrolling in the Noxus Academy of Magic, because with his ability, he could easily get the admission letter.
Swain is full of fear for the pale lady LeBlanc who established the Black Rose organization and has secretly controlled Noxus for thousands of years. Even though he is possessed by a demon, he is currently only forcing the Black Rose to gradually emerge from behind the scenes.
When I walked to the front desk, I had no idea how many Black Rose members there were in the empire, and I didn't dare to clear them out.
And now...this Sevier...
"What happened after that?" he asked Catalina: "Did he say anything else?"
Catalina lowered her head and said: "Then he asked me to cooperate and used a ruler to measure the length of my two arms, the length of my palms, the length of each finger, the length of the tiger's mouth... He said based on what theorem, he could calculate it through these data
The exact length for my dagger."
After hesitating for a moment, she apologized: "Sorry, Commander Swain, many of the contents are a bit convoluted, I didn't remember them all!"
"It's okay." Swain comforted.
I can’t understand the scientific content anyway.
He continued to ask: "So...how do you feel about him after two contacts?"
Katerina was silent.
"Just answer truthfully."
"I think he's... a little scary."
It was not seen from words, but the instinctive judgment of a top killer. Her premonition of crisis told her that no matter what opportunity she seized, her success rate in assassinating Ji Xing would be close to zero, or even zero!
"Is it scary?" Swain nodded: "He asked you to pick up the dagger in half a month?"
"yes."
"Okay, come back to me when you get the dagger and do your job."
"yes!"
After Katerina left, Swain was the only one left in the palace. He lowered his head and asked in a voice that only he could hear: "What do you think?"
"He has a secret smell about him."
A dark voice echoed in Swain's ears. It was the demon that possessed him, the 'secret' among the ten demons, Ram!
"He came from Bilgewater? That's the territory of the fat catfish. He passed there without losing anything." Ram continued: "Maybe there is something in him that even the fat catfish is afraid of, or maybe there is something in him that even the fat catfish is afraid of.
He is just an old friend. Only when I meet him can I find out his secret."
"Don't go into it yet," Swain said.
For some reason, similar comments to Catalina's flashed through his heart, which was terrifying.
This 18-year-old genius scientist and great magician is a bit too unusual. The Pale Lady invited him to Noxus, which really made her an uneasy leader.
…
Swain wouldn't do anything to himself.
He can be LeBlanc's opponent, and even let LeBlanc not hesitate to introduce himself as a variable, which means that he even has the upper hand in the current confrontation with LeBlanc, so there will be no shortage of strength and wisdom, and it is impossible to rashly
action.
When LeBlanc invited her here, she couldn't really expect him to help her deal with Swain. She just said, "There is a cave of the Spider God on the Shadow Island." It was not worth the efforts of Ji Xing and the Noxus Empire.
Lead the enemy.
She is just introducing variables. She has more layouts in Noxus and more back-ups. What she is most afraid of is slow death. As long as she changes, she can find an opportunity to give Swain a fatal blow.
Being on the outside, these twists and turns around Ji Xing can be understood without thinking deeply.
So what is oneself?
It is a variable and a third party.
He is the ‘father’ of LeBlanc and Swain!
In the magic library, Ji Xing flipped through a book called "Encyclopedia of Mysterious Magic".
The so-called mysterious magic refers to the magic originating from the gods or mysterious creatures in Runeterra, that is, people who originally had no magical abilities gained magical magical abilities through adventure.
For example, Tam in Bilgewater uses the most common method to induce people's greed by granting power and abilities.
Hundreds of pages of content were quickly burned into Ji Xing's brain, and he instantly understood most of the gods and mysterious creatures on Rune Continent, and what powers they gave them.
Putting the book back in its place, he turned his head towards the place where the whispers were coming from not far away, and saw two mages who were whispering about him.
They met Ji Xing's eyes and quickly showed respectful greetings.
Ji Xing nodded to them and continued to walk deep into the library. This 'treasure house', the accumulation of thousands of years of Noxus, even if it does not involve core secrets, there are too many useful things, and it will become his brain within a week.
in storage!
At the same time, news that a fifth-level mage was added to the Noxus Academy of Magic quickly spread within the academy and among the top families in Noxus.
