[ update resumed. Support, everyone. ]
On the mainland, the strength of mages was usually proportional to their age. The training of mages was much harder than that of Warriors. On the mainland, Warriors did not need to be too old at the beginning of their training. When they were young, they could be trained and strengthened. When they were older, they could undergo the beginner training of fighting energy under the guidance of adults.
It was not easy to practice warrior power. Only when your body met the requirements could you practice warrior power. The more powerful the warrior power, the more demanding it was on your body, because warrior power was really overbearing.
The training of a mage was much more difficult than that of battle energy. All the children born on the continent would be sent to a designated place to be examined to see if they had the talent to practice magic. If they did, they would be focused on training. If not, they would go home and prepare to become a warrior.
The age requirement for a mage’s cultivation was very strict. No one was allowed to practice magic before the age of twelve. After so many years of exploration, people on the continent had discovered that a person’s mental strength could only be considered stable at the age of twelve. If one practiced too early and hesitated to stabilize his mental strength, it was very likely to cause a backlash of mental strength and go crazy. In that case, one would become an idiot at the least, and in the worst case, one would be brain dead.
It was for this reason that powerful mages were generally not too young. Someone like meg, who could become a 6th-tier mage at such a young age, could definitely be regarded as an anomaly on the mainland. She was a genius among geniuses.
Not many people on the continent knew about Merlin’s strength. Merlin and the rest had always kept this matter strictly confidential. Even in the past, only a few people in the Buda family knew about it. They were very clear that if others found out that meg had such a strong cultivation at such a young age, there were only two ways. One was to control her and cultivate her into a great killing weapon, and the other was to kill her. Neither of these two outcomes were what they wanted to see.
Although mages started training later than Warriors, mages usually lived longer than Warriors. A warrior, even a grade 8 warrior, could at most live to two hundred years old. A grade 8 mage could live to at least two hundred and fifty years old.
It was precisely because of this that high-level mages were very important to a country. A high-level mage could protect the country for at least a hundred years.
It was also because the people on the ark continent lived longer than the people on the earth team that they were still living in a slave society after nearly 10000 years of development. The use of magic machinery was also very low.
On earth, it would be considered good if a King of a feudal country could rule a country for a few decades. Only an Emperor with a very long life could do that. However, ordinary empires would not rule a country for more than 20 years.
However, it was different on the ark continent. A King could rule over a King for about a hundred years. If he had only ruled for a few decades, he would be considered a short-lived King. That was why the development of the continent had not been very fast after so many years.
It was precisely because of this that Gelin did not allow Zhao Hai to speak. The owners of such shops were usually very smart. Even if their cultivation levels were not high, they had seen countless people. As long as you opened your mouth, they would be able to tell your age and even what kind of person you were. To these shop owners, observing people was their way of survival.
The shop assistant led Zhao Hai and the others into the shop. The interior of the shop was really well decorated. As soon as they entered, they saw a large hall that was more than 40 square meters. On the roof of the hall, there was a magic light. Although it was daytime, the magic light was still on.
There was a large bar counter directly opposite the door. Two beautiful waitresses were standing behind the bar counter. Outside the bar counter, a fat man was standing there respectfully. He was dressed in nice silk clothes, and on the chest of his clothes was a red spider lily badge. He seemed to be the owner of this store.
The moment he saw Zhao Hai and the rest enter, the shop owner immediately went up to them. He stopped three steps in front of Zhao Hai and bowed to him.”Welcome, esteemed mage. It is our honor to have you here. Please rest here for a while, and we will immediately send you the strongest cocoa. You will be ready to check in.”
Zhao Hai didn’t say anything. He turned around and walked to a resting place at the side. He sat down. There were only a few couches and a coffee table in the resting place. It was specially for people to rest temporarily.
As soon as Zhao Hai sat down, a waitress came over and placed a pot of Keya and a cup on the coffee table in front of him. When meg was about to help Zhao Hai pour the Keya, Zhao Hai waved her hand gently and she stood beside him again.
At this moment, Zhao Hai was really imposing. He was wearing a black magic robe, and his aura was out of place, yet it was plain and ordinary. In addition, he didn’t say a word, and his movements were not big. He just sat there, as if he had disappeared from the spot. If it weren’t for green and meg standing beside him, many people would have ignored his existence.
The shop owner, who had been watching Zhao Hai, felt the strange aura around him. His eyes narrowed, but the smile on his face didn’t change. He walked up to Zhao Hai and bowed. &Quot; Dear Mr. Mage, your rooms have been arranged. They are on the third floor. Please follow me. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded, stood up, and followed the boss to the third floor. The third floor was different from the first floor. There was no Hall here, and once they walked out of the stairs, they could see the rooms one by one. However, Zhao Hai still noticed that the number of rooms on the third floor was much less than that on the first and second floor.
The fat shopkeeper led them to Room 301 and personally pushed the door open, inviting Zhao Hai and the others in. After Zhao Hai and the others entered, the fat boss stood outside the door and said respectfully to Zhao Hai, ” &Quot; dear mage, if you need anything, just ring the summoning Bell. I will send the food you want to your room as soon as possible. There are five bedrooms in this room, enough for you and your followers. If you need, I can arrange another room for you. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded slightly and walked into the house without saying anything. However, green understood what he meant. He immediately turned to the fat boss and said, &Quot; Sir is very satisfied with your arrangement. You may leave. Remember to bring the food quickly. &Quot;
“It’s my honor to be able to serve a great magician,” the fat boss bowed immediately.”Please allow me to leave.” After he finished speaking, he respectfully closed the door and left.
After the fat boss left, Zhao Hai let out a long sigh of relief. He took off his hat and turned to gerlyn with a bitter smile. &Quot; I didn’t expect this set of clothes to be so useful. Look at how respectful the boss is. It’s really hard to stand. &Quot;
Green also took off his helmet. Hearing Zhao Hai’s words, he snorted coldly,”Him? “Young master, you’re too naïve. That boss only did that out of professional habit. And you might not know that this shop is the property of the magicians. That fatty is not only the owner of this shop, but also an outside intelligence agent of the magicians. I believe that it won’t take long for the magicians to know of our appearance.”
Zhao Hai was stunned,”so this is the property of the magicians. Grandpa Green, why do we have to live here?” Isn’t that too ostentatious?”
Grimm smiled and said, ” that’s right, young master. Sometimes, it’s not a good thing to keep a low profile. They will only think that we are more suspicious and will try their best to investigate us. However, since we are so ostentatious now, they won’t suspect that we have any relationship with the Buda family. They won’t expect us to be so bold. They won’t even think that young master can summon undead creatures to pretend to be a Summoner. &Quot;
&Nbsp; Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; I really didn’t expect that the marchiders would open a shop in a place like this. Oh right, Grandpa Green, how did you know that this shop belongs to the marchiders? ”
Grimm smiled and said, ” &Quot; it’s not a secret. There’s a red spider lily symbol on the outside of this shop, which is the emblem of the marginder family. With the strength of the marginder family on the continent, no one would come to make trouble in a shop like theirs. We don’t have to worry about those problems when we live here. This place is very close to the iron Mountain, and there are many magical beasts on the iron Mountain. If they open their shop here, they can sometimes get a lot of useful things at a very low price, like a big merchant like the marginder family. How could they let go of such a place?”
Zhao Hai nodded. He had also learned from the miscellaneous notes that many things on the continent were made from magical beasts. Because of their strong bodies and magical attributes, they had many things on them that were commonly used by alchemists and alchemists. As for the adventurers and mercenaries, most of them relied on hunting magical beasts for a living.
However, Zhao Hai was still confused about the basic operations of the mercenaries on the continent. When he was reading the miscellaneous notes, he did not see any mercenary guilds that often appeared in novels. Thus, Zhao Hai asked green in confusion,”Grandpa Green, where do those mercenaries get their missions? Do they have to rely on hunting magical beasts for a living?”
Grimm smiled and said, ” &Quot; of course not. Actually, those mercenaries could receive missions in any city. In any equipment store, hotel or Inn, there would be people who would post missions. In order to attract business, these stores would also accept missions for free for those mercenaries. Therefore, those mercenaries could receive missions as long as they were in any pub in the city. Even if they didn’t find a suitable one, they could go to another one. The missions they receive in any shop on the continent can be shared with other branches. In other words, if you distribute the missions here in Montenegro fortress, the mercenaries will be able to see the mission in all the shops of the makiddo firm tomorrow. It’s that simple.”
