The way the middle-aged man looked at Xu Tianci had also changed.
In his eyes, even though this young man in front of him was a wind and fire dual-element mage, he was still a young man.
However, from his proficiency in using the wind escape technique...
He must have reached a very high level, and was probably not far from the realm of mages.
A dual-element mage around the age of twenty.
What kind of monstrous existence was this?
The middle-aged man was the captain of a city defense team.
When a spatial rift appeared in the city, the city lord's mansion would naturally send out a defense team.
The wandering cultivators among the people were only extras in clearing the spatial cracks.
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and looked at Xu Tianci with burning eyes. "Little brother, can you wait here for a while? The clearing of the spatial rift this time is very smooth. I need to inform the higher-ups."
Xu Tianci's mouth twitched. He wanted to reject the call, but when he saw the city defense team members surrounding him...
In the end, he swallowed his words of rejection and nodded.
The baby's heart was bitter!
The baby's purse was shrinking by the minute.
But with so many strong men staring at me, I can't disobey!
While the middle-aged man was on the phone.
Xu Tianci quickly redeemed two E-rank magic cores.
His water magic was only two magic nuclei away from the level of a mage.
While he still had money, he had to clear his wallet as soon as possible to avoid having all his money quietly taken away by the system.
He spent 30000 magic coins.
When Xu Tianci's level of water magic advanced to that of a magician, the number of magic coins in his wallet dropped to single digits.
"I don't even have money for the bus, so I can only go back on foot!"
Xu Tianci thought to himself as he checked the rewards from the system.
'10 e-grade magic crystals. Not bad, worth ten magic coins.'
'Dark skill, E-Class shadow technique.'
[Magic introduction: The caster can blend into the shadows.]
'Concealment skill, trash. I'm not an assassin. What do I need...'
Xu Tianci was stunned.
A set of combinations quickly emerged in his mind.
Inferno magic sword!
Black demon spike!
Shadow technique!
Wasn't this a standard feature for assassins?
Since he wanted to get rid of Liu Ningfei and Liu Hongyu, why not fake an identity to do it?
Thinking of this, Xu Tianci's eyes flashed with strong murderous intent.
"Little brother, what's wrong?"
At this time, the middle-aged man called back. Seeing Xu Tianci's strange expression, he quickly asked.
On the phone, the leader said he had to personally escort this young man to the city lord's mansion.
The city lord was prepared to personally meet the first dual-element mage of Cloud City.
Xu Tianci was stunned for a moment before he realized what was going on.
He was distracted again.
He quickly replied honestly, "No..." I'm fine. It might be the aftereffects of the space crack. After all, I was too nervous just now. It's... correct?"
The middle-aged man nodded solemnly.
Of course, he could understand.
After all, even a magician of the same grade would be extremely nervous when facing a D-rank skeleton general.
"It's like this!"
The middle-aged man voiced his thoughts, "The city lord wishes to meet our Cloud City's first dual-element mage with his own eyes. Make a trip?"
What else could Xu Tianci say? Of course, he agreed.
After all, he was just a small country bumpkin. If the city lord summoned him, why didn't he obediently wash up and send it up?
As a result, a group of city guards rushed towards the city lord's mansion, leaving behind a group of people who were discussing among themselves.
On the way, the middle-aged man asked about Xu Tianci's well-being.
Indirectly, he also knew part of Xu Tianci's situation.
It included a series of basic information such as name, age, home address, family members, and so on.
He secretly made up his mind.
After this mission was completed, he would definitely pay a visit.
He would give Xu Tianci's family the best conditions within his reach.
After all, building a good relationship with a rising heaven's favorite was the greatest opportunity he had ever had.
Soon, they arrived at the city lord's mansion.
A middle-aged man in a suit who looked like a Butler was waiting in front of the gate.
The middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh as he watched Xu Tianci walk into the city Lord's mansion.
His future was bound to be limitless.
...
In the city lord's mansion.
City Lord Zhou Jianmin put down the documents in his hand and looked at the door.
"My Lord, Xu Tianci has arrived."
At this moment, the butler's voice sounded from the door. "Enter!"
The door opened slowly. Xu Tianci's face was covered in dust, and he looked nervous as he followed them in.
Whether in his previous life or in this one, this was the first time he had met someone like the city lord, who was like a governor of a border.
It was impossible to say that he wasn't nervous.
"Haha, so you're Xu Tianci! As expected of a talented young man!"
As soon as they met, Lord Zhou Jianmin immediately praised him.
He learned from his subordinates.
Xu Tianci was only 19 years old, and he had just gone to the Guild of Magic to be certified as a trainee mage.
The Guild of Magic and the City Lord's mansion were two different systems.
Although the administrative level of the Guild of Magic was under the jurisdiction of the City Lord's office, it was still the most powerful guild in the city.
However, no city lord would be stupid enough to extend their hands into the Guild of Magic.
The status of the Guild of Magic in the great Xia Kingdom was second only to the Royal Court.
Moreover, due to the management system of personal privacy, even if he was the city lord, the information he could get was also countable.
"You are too kind, Milord. This lowly one could only kill the skeleton general by chance."
Xu Tianci quickly responded to the mayor's compliment.
He would not be like the protagonists of brainless novels on earth, who were not afraid of anything and always had a stupid feeling of being the boss of the heavens and the second of the earth.
Seeing Xu Tianci's respectful attitude, Zhou Jianmin nodded to himself.
He was a successful young man, but he was neither arrogant nor impetuous. He was a man of great potential.
At this moment, Zhou Jianmin's impression of Xu Tianci couldn't help but improve.
"I heard that you practice both wind and fire. I wonder if it's true?"
Zhou Jianmin affectionately pulled Xu Tianci to sit down, then asked.
Xu Tianci nodded.
In his opinion, the fact that he was practicing multi-elemental magic could not be kept a secret.
He might as well take this opportunity to reveal his identity as a wind and fire dual-element mage.
This would also increase his weight in the city lord's heart.
Without saying anything, Xu Tianci extended his finger, and an orange flame flickered on it.
At the same time, the two whirlwinds under his feet started to spin.
As expected, it was a dual wind and fire element.
Seeing this, Zhou Jianmin's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"Did you just become a mage apprentice yesterday?" he asked impatiently.
"Yes, I am!"
Xu Tianci smiled and nodded, then shyly added, "But..."
"But what?"
Seeing Xu Tianci's hesitant look, Zhou Jianmin asked again.
"However, I had a fortuitous encounter in the spatial rift. My water magic has already reached the level of a mage. It's just that I haven't been certified by the Guild of magic, so I can't prove it to you."
BOOM!
His words stunned Lord Zhou Jianmin.
What did he just hear?
The young man in front of him had actually reached the realm of a mage?
In less than a day, his strength had jumped by an entire major realm.
This wasn't just a small opportunity; this was a great opportunity!
It must be known that for a magician trainee to advance to the realm of a magician, even if their talent were heaven-defying, it would still take a year and a half.
Advancing in one day.
He had never heard of it in the entire great Xia Empire or even the entire continent.
"Just tell me what you want. I'll agree to any condition!"
The City Lord Zhou Jianmin threw out his first bargaining chip.
