At night, in the Principality of Luoying, in Pace City, the territory of the Pace family, a hundred miles away from Hill City, in the living room of a small private manor in the city, three figures were sitting together quietly, as if waiting for something.
The appearance and aura of the three of them are very eye-catching. One of them is wearing a gray robe, with a thin face and gray beard. He looks to be in his sixties, but he is holding an ice blue staff and is dressed like a mage, giving him an extremely mysterious and cold look.
The other two were two middle-aged men, both tall and burly, wearing soft leather wallets that looked like armor, with long swords hanging on their waists, and their aura was fierce and impressive.
Just from their appearance and aura, it can be seen that the three of them are not ordinary people. The three of them are sitting quietly in the living room without anyone speaking. The atmosphere is subtle. The old man dressed as a mage has his eyes half-closed.
, as if closing their eyes to rest, the two middle-aged men also remained silent. After a while, the three quiet people all looked at each other again, and raised their eyes to look at the door.
"Ta! Ta! Ta!..."
Clear footsteps came from outside the door, and then an old man wearing a white mage robe, holding a white staff, and with white beard and hair appeared from the door and walked in.
Behind the old man was a little boy who looked to be seven or eight years old.
"The Archmage."
Seeing the old man coming in from the door, the three people in the living room immediately stood up and spoke to the old man Bai Ran, appearing very respectful.
"Don't be so polite. We are all our own people. Let's sit down and talk."
The old man in white robes, known as the Archmage, seemed very friendly. Hearing this, he smiled at the three of them, and at the same time led the little boy to the center of the living room and sat down.
"The prophet has sent news that the return of the gods is getting closer and closer. Our pace must also speed up."
After sitting down, the old man Baipaan spoke again, his face suddenly becoming serious.
The gray-robed mage and two middle-aged knights with breathtaking auras who were sitting next to him also immediately looked serious when they heard this.
"What do we need to do?"
The gray-robed mage asked immediately.
"Search, absorb." Master Baipao stretched out two fingers, said four words, and then said in detail: "Search, do our best to search for all traces of the possible return of the gods; in addition, we need more outstanding and powerful
companions, so we must try our best to recruit outstanding and powerful companions or people with sufficient potential to join the organization, so that our chances of winning will be greater."
"As for the traces of the return of the gods, we need to investigate slowly. There is no rush for this matter, but as for absorbing excellent and powerful companions, we can proceed now."
"Does the Archmage have a suitable target?"
One of the two middle-aged knights said.
"This is a list I compiled during this period. You can take a look first."
The old man Bai Ran said, as he spoke, a list of names appeared in his hand and he handed it to the three of them.
After hearing this, the three people also took it and looked at the names on the booklet——
Alan Depp;
Christina Depp;
Douglas Bloom;
Carl Baruch;
............
"These people are the initial targets I have selected during this period."
The white-robed mage continued to speak.
"Among these people, the two people I value most are the first one, Arlan Depp, and the other one, the last name, Carl Baruch."
"Arlan Depp is the son of Archmage Celine of the Depp family of the Principality of Luoying. He is a rare mage genius. He is only thirteen years old now, but his cultivation is already a high-level mage apprentice. His talent is so high that the entire Luoyang
Among the British principalities, there are few people like him."
"A thirteen-year-old senior mage apprentice."
When the three people present heard this, their faces instantly revealed expressions of surprise. The thirteen-year-old senior mage apprentice was definitely considered a genius even in the entire continent, and the strength of the senior mage apprentice was also very powerful.
In comparison, knights, although not as good as titled knights, are still stronger than great knights.
"As expected, he is a descendant of the Archmage."
Then the three people sighed again.
"Then who is this Karl Baruch?"
Then the gray-robed mage spoke again, thinking of another name that the white-robed mage had said.
"Karl Baruch is the son of Count Ackerman, the knight of the Baruch family. It is said that this son has been smart since he was a child. He can speak in April and walk in June. He is studious and early-witted. He is a genius and has become a sensation in Hill City.
, after he was one year old, he started to practice knighthood, but then the entire Baruch family began to block all news about this Carl Baruch..."
The gray-robed mage and the two middle-aged knights couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, vaguely guessing what Bai Ran old man meant.
"What the Archmage means is that this Karl Baruch is also incredibly talented, so the entire Baruch family has blocked all news about him."
"good."
The old man Bai Pao nodded when he heard this, and then said again after he finished speaking.
"However, this is just a guess for the time being, and it will ultimately need to be tested to confirm."
Having said this, the little boy who had been silent behind the old man Bai Ran suddenly changed his expression and spoke.
"Teacher, why not leave this matter to your disciples."
The little boy suddenly spoke, his expression calm, showing a maturity and calmness that is rare for children of his age, and he spoke unhurriedly.
"Next month will be the enrollment period for the Kingdom's quadrennial Knight Academy and Mage Academy. At that time, all Knight Academy and Mage Academy students will be enrolled in Greenland City. However, Greenland City is far away.
All the families should go together, and have made an appointment to meet together in three days, at the Baruch family in Hill City."
"Father will take me there, and then I can take the opportunity to compete with him and test him out."
The little boy opened his mouth and said, in fact, there was one thing he didn't say, that is, in the surrounding area, the Baruch family is the most powerful, and other families, including his own Pace family, have always been hostile to the Baruch family.
In a state of dependence.
This time, the kingdom’s quadrennial knight academy and mage academy are enrolling students. They, the nobles who need to send their children for examinations, are going to go together. The Baruch family is also going back this time. Naturally, these small families will take the name of Baruch.
Headed by the Gram family.
"Oh, is that so? That's a good idea. Then I'll leave this matter to you. Try to confirm the situation of Carl Baruch and tell me when you come back."
The white-robed mage nodded immediately after hearing this, and then warned him after speaking.
"But remember to exercise caution. You should know your current strength."
"Teacher, don't worry, I will be careful and I won't hurt anyone."
The little boy immediately responded after hearing this, feeling confident in his own strength.
"Um."
The old man in white robe also nodded slightly when he heard this. He was also confident in the strength of his disciple among his peers. What's more, in terms of age, his disciple was older than Lin Tianqi, already seven years old, while Lin Tianqi was only three years old.
Therefore, when the white-robed old man thought about it, no matter how talented Lin Tianqi was, his strength would definitely not be comparable to that of his current disciple.
Even the old man felt that it was a bit bullying to let his disciple test him like this.
After all, he, as a disciple, only had a knight's training, and had already become a trainee knight a year ago. What's more, as a mage, he has also reached the level of a junior magician and has mastered two spells proficiently.
"In addition, since the enrollment of Luoying Principality Knight Academy and Mage Academy will be next month, let's go and have a look. We should be able to find many good prospects by then."
Finally, the white-robed mage said again.
The gray-robed mage and two middle-aged knights next to him also nodded immediately.
Since the development of their organization, they have always focused on absorbing talents, especially young talents, because these people have great potential and are easier to absorb.
............
Time flies, three days pass, Hill City, Earl's Mansion.
"Master, Master, the count and his wife would like you to go to the front hall."
Outside the courtyard wing where Lin Tianqi lived, a young and beautiful maid called softly at the door.
"Okay, I know. You go back and tell your father and mother that I will be there after I change my clothes."
Immediately afterwards, Lin Tianqi's voice sounded.
