"Alan York? A boy under twenty years old? The new Master of the Mage Tower? Is this a joke on me?"
The speaker's name is Lei Zhe, an eighty-year-old old magician from the Mage Tower.
In recent years, in order to advance to the ninth level, this magician Lei Zhe has locked himself in a laboratory. He does not care about worldly affairs and does not meet people. He concentrates on studying magic and exploring the nature of the world.
He didn't know how many batches of students the Mage Tower had recruited, nor did he know that Merlins had been promoted to legend, nor did he know who Alan York was.
If he hadn't suddenly received a letter from Les Ross, his isolated life would definitely have continued.
However, when Master Lei Zhe saw Merlins handing over the position of Master of the Mage Tower to Allen, he was so angry that he slammed the table and angrily accused Merlins of messing around on big things, being selfish and only caring about his own interests.
Students regard the Master Tower as their own back garden.
"This Alan York must be the illegitimate son of Merlins!" Magician Lei Zhe cursed angrily in his heart, "I thought that Merlins was a person who pursued knowledge wholeheartedly and had no selfish motives. I didn't expect that in this kind of situation,
You are so partial on key matters!"
Thinking of this, Lei Zhe picked up the letter and angrily found Les Ross who wrote the letter.
"Ms. Rose, you must give me an explanation for this matter," Lei Zhe said to Les Rose with a serious expression. "What is this Alan York capable of? Why has he only joined the Mage Tower for less than a year?
, is he qualified to become the tower master of the Mage Tower? Is it possible that he is the illegitimate son of Merlins?"
Regarding the reaction of old man Lei Zhe, Les Ross had already expected it and felt a little helpless.
She knew that although Allen had great strength and unimaginable potential at the moment, his time in joining the Mage Tower was too short and his qualifications were insufficient. He had neither participated in the paper review team nor participated in the daily management of the Mage Tower.
, even many simple magicians like Lei Zhe don't know him at all.
Earlier today, in addition to Lei Zhe, several high-level magicians came to Les Rose and expressed their dissatisfaction to her, firmly believing that Alan York was not qualified to become the new master of the Mage Tower.
Therefore, it is not an easy task for Allen to secure his position as the Master of the Mage Tower.
"Alan is now an eighth-level magician," Les Rose explained in a calm tone, "I think there should be very few people in this magic tower who are stronger than him!"
"To be the master of a mage tower, you need more than just strong strength," the old magician Lei Zhe retorted seriously, "A reckless man with only brute strength cannot be a good leader of magicians - at least, he
You need to have outstanding insights, academic achievements, a calm mind, outstanding leadership, and decision-making abilities far beyond ordinary people..."
"——With so many conditions, Mr. Lei Zhe, I'm afraid you can't even do it yourself!" Les Rose said unceremoniously.
The implication of her words is undoubtedly - "You can do it."
Lais had to admit that a large group of magicians came to her today to question Teacher Merlins's message, which made her feel a little impatient - therefore, even in front of an old-timer like Lei Zhe, she was a little unable to restrain herself.
Stay calm with your irritable emotions.
"It is true that I can't do it," Lei Zhe said lightly, "but I think that boy named Alan York can't do it even more. Merlins is too partial to his students. According to the practice of the Mage Tower, his message
It should be invalid. The new master of the Mage Tower should be chosen by the magicians through joint discussion."
"Mr. Lei Zhe, you may not be aware that you have been living in seclusion for a long time, but now is a time of war," Les Rose then retorted, "Our Mage Tower and Braden Kingdom are fighting against the powerful enemies of the Church of Light, and it is a life-or-death moment for both of us.
It is impossible to spend too much time on a complicated election process. Since Alan York is powerful and possesses rare 'legendary' level magic talent, we might as well place our hopes on him."
After hearing what Les Rose said, the expression of the old magician Lei Zhe changed slightly. Obviously, the current situation exceeded his expectations.
"Our Mage Tower...is fighting against the Church of Light?" He narrowed his eyes and asked seriously.
"That's right, you can find out just by reading the latest Braden Morning News," Les Ross replied, "The Kingdom of Braden is trying to break away from the control of the Church of Light, but the Church of Light is not satisfied with this, and soon
Previously, we united with the Kingdom of Ferrand and declared war on the Kingdom of Braden."
"The Kingdom of Ferrand? This is impossible!" Lei Zhe showed a doubtful expression on his face, "Didn't our Majesty the Queen have an engagement with Prince Edward of the Kingdom of Ferrand? Why did they start fighting? Could it be that the Kingdom of Ferrand
Blatantly tearing up the treaty of peaceful coexistence signed with us back then?"
"Her Majesty the Queen has broken off the engagement long ago." Les Rose sighed helplessly and said.
At this moment, she deeply felt that chatting with the old man in front of her was as strenuous as chatting with an ancient person.
Lei Zhe was finally silent for a moment.
He finally discovered that he really missed too many big things during the period of isolation from the world.
"Lais, tell me," at this moment, Lei Zhe's excited mood finally calmed down, and he asked Lais in a polite tone, "What on earth did that Alan York do?
Lord Merlins trusts him so much?"
"Alan single-handedly repelled the fleet of the Kingdom of Ferrand on the sea and cracked the divine magic circle of the Church of Light." Les Rose introduced in an understatement.
"real?"
"You can read the newspaper."
"Then Alan York is indeed very powerful," Lei Zhe nodded and said, "In times of war like this, people like him are really needed.
"However, just relying on personal combat ability is not enough to become the master of the mage tower."
"Then what other conditions do you think he needs to meet?" Lais asked.
"At least, he should have more than one paper with a four-star academic evaluation," Lei Zhe said lightly.
Magic academic research has always been a field that Lei Zhe is quite proud of.
He has conducted in-depth research in many magic fields and published dozens of papers, all of which received high ratings such as three stars and four stars.
In his view, academic research results are accumulated over time.
Even if Allen has outstanding talent, it is impossible to surpass him in this aspect.
At least not possible now.
However, what Les Rose said next surprised Lei Zhe.
"Alan once wrote a paper that was rated five stars," Les Rose said lightly, "and when he wrote that paper, he was just a magic apprentice."
