Chapter 65

Half a minute later, Hodgia finally calmed down. Looking at Locke, his eyes lit up as if he was looking at a golden mountain.

Taking a deep breath, Hodgia suppressed his excitement and said to Locke, “Mr. Capet, I sincerely invite you to join Mage Guild.”

Locke hesitated when he heard the invitation from Hodgia. Where had so many magic books on this continent? It must be Mage Guild.

However, to join a force meant to be restricted by it while enjoying the benefits it brought. Locke didn’t want to be bound.

Seeing the hesitation on Locke’s face, Hodgia immediately knew what he was worried about, so he explained with a smile:

“Mr. Capet, don’t worry. Mage Guild won’t restrict you.”

“On the contrary, after you become a member of Mage Guild, you can use the resources of Mage Guild. For example, you can read the magic book in Mage Guild, or you can exchange the practice resources with other mages through the platform of Mage Guild.”

“Of course, Mage Guild will also release some tasks. The members of the guild can receive tasks in exchange for rewards. You can also work in Mage Guild and get paid, just like me.”

The reason why Locke hesitated was that he didn’t want to be restricted. Hearing what Hodgia said, he nodded and smiled. “Okay, I agree to join Mage Guild.”

In terms of Icacia Continent, the Mage Guild was definitely the force with the most mages. The collection of the magic books must be great, and the magic books were exactly what Locke lacked now.

“Welcome, Mr. Capet.”

Hearing Locke’s promise, Hodgia was overjoyed.

While saying that, he felt a little regretful. “It’s a pity that Mr. Chief is not here. I’m only a level-3 mage. I can only issue a magic certificate of level 2 for you. Otherwise, with your value of magic power, you may be able to pass the test of level-3 mages.”

Locke smiled. It was not a pity. Although his magic power was breakthrough to level 4, he couldn’t use the level-3 and level-4 magic. So even if he could really do the test, he couldn’t pass it.

At this time, the maid, Ellie, ran over from the hall in a hurry to check the situation here.

“Don’t panic. The fluctuation was caused by our magic experiment,”

Hodgia said when he saw the panic-stricken Ellie. After saying that, he continued to order, “Besides, bring a magic robe of the level-2 fire mage here.”

Hearing the order of Hodgia, Ellie immediately knew what had happened. Locke really passed the test of level-2 mages!

Soon, Ellie brought the magic robe here.

The overall color of the magic robe was black, with complex array patterns on it. Wearing the magic robe, Locke looked noble and more handsome.

Hodgia wanted Locke to stay a little longer, but Locke refused because Athena was waiting for him outside. But he also said that when he finished his work, he would go back to Dikas City. At that time, the two of them would discuss the problem of magic. Moreover, Locke also wanted to read the magic book of the Mage Guild and learn more magic.

In the hall.

“Oh, he actually passed the test of level-1 mages…”

One of them was surprised to see Locke in a magic robe, but when he saw the two red bars on Locke’s chest, the tea that had reached his throat sprayed out directly. “Creator! Am I blind? This is the symbol of a level-2 mage!”

“It’s really a level-2 mage!”

“This young man actually passed the test of level-2 fire mage!”

Everyone’s eyes widened and said in disbelief.

Athena stood up. She was not surprised that Locke could pass the test of level-2 mages.

“Nice to meet you, Sir. I’m the captain of Brave Mercenary Team, Sam.”

A slightly chubby, bearded middle-aged man stopped Locke, “Mr. Mage, our team is short of a strong mage like you. I sincerely invite you to join my mercenary team.”

It could be seen from the badge on the fat middle-aged magic robe that he was a level-2 earth mage.

“I’m sorry. I have no intention of joining the mercenary regiment.” Shaking his head, Locke refused.

Sam looked pitiful. Seeing that Locke was determined, he didn’t say anything more.

The others who still wanted to win Locke over stopped when they heard Locke’s words. They could tell that Locke really didn’t want to join any teams.

When the two of them came out of Mage Guild, the evening glow had disappeared and the sky was full of stars. The city was ablaze with lights, very lively.

The streets were filled with the sound of hawking. Some were selling medicine, some were selling beast repelling powder, and some were selling weapons. Compared with the day, the street was less bleak and warmer.

Locke and Athena didn’t go back in a hurry and decided to stroll around.

Walking on the street, Athena seemed a little active, like an inexperienced young girl. Whenever she saw anything strange, she would pick it up and have a look.

Athena’s beauty naturally attracted many people’s attention, but when they saw the logo of a level-2 mage on Locke’s chest, many people couldn’t help but shrink their heads.

Of course, in this city full of practitioners, a level-2 mage was not so deterrent, but everyone was not stupid. If one could become a level-2 mage at this age, could he not have the support of big forces behind him?

The street was brightly lit and lively.

Locke didn’t expect that there would be such a place in the dangerous Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts. Sighing, Locke took Athena’s hand directly. He could clearly feel that Athena’s whole body seemed to be stiff. However, to his surprise, Athena didn’t seem to refuse.

The two strolled on the street hand in hand. A Handsome man with a pretty lady envied others.

Just as the two of them were about to go back, they suddenly noticed a special stall with all kinds of exquisite masks on it. The stall owner was actually a little girl about 12 or 13 years old.

The little girl was wearing a little worn girl’s clothes. Although the clothes were old, they had been washed white and not dirty. The girl’s big eyes were also full of spirits.

Athena grabbed a white fox-shaped mask curiously.

Seeing that Athena was going to buy something, the little girl was very happy and said, “Sister, you are so beautiful. Do you want to buy a mask?”

Athena touched the little girl’s head and said with affection, “Of course, we’ll buy two.”

Then she turned to look at Locke. Obviously, she let Locke give money.

Locke nodded helplessly. He also liked this little girl very much. He put his hand in his pocket and took out two silver coins from the system space.

Seeing the two silver coins, the little girl waved her hand and said, “Brother, you gave me too much. 20 copper coins are enough.”

“We like these two masks very much. They are worth the money,” Locke said with a smile and handed the money to the little girl. If it was somewhere else, Locke might give the little girl two gold coins directly. However, a weak girl with two gold coins was bound to be coveted by others.

Hearing Locke’s words, the little girl struggled for a while and finally took the silver coins. She said gratefully, “Brother and sister, you are really good people.”

Locke replied with a smile, “You deserve it.”

“Let me put it on for you.”

Locke took the mask from Athena’s hand and put it on Athena’s face carefully. The mask covered half of her face, which made her look more mysterious and beautiful.

After putting on the mask, Athena waved at the little girl and said with a mysterious smile, “Little girl, see you if we are destined.”

After greeting the little girl, the two of them left.

It was late. After Locke and Athena left, the little girl began to clean up the stall. She didn’t notice that two people were staring at her under the eaves in the distance.
