"In that case, before I truly become an Archmage, I don't want anyone to know that I can silently cast magic.”
" After all, the title 'Archmage' is too sensitive." Tangning paused for a moment. Its existence might even affect the balance of power between regions and countries.
It's not a good thing to bear the glory and responsibility of a Archmage before becoming one. If we don't handle it properly, our lives may be over. Do you understand?”
"Understood, understood."
Sai Wen agreed and nodded." That's right. A country will not allow hostile forces to have a Mage God. They will do everything to nip this possibility in the bud. So, in my opinion, you don't have to take this risk at all."”
Hearing this, Tangning thought for a moment and replied," I know what you mean.
However, I still want to enter the city. You saw it for yourself just now. This bandit gang only has about 10,000 people, and there are also many injured soldiers. Attacking a well-equipped city with such strength is simply courting death.
As long as the city is not occupied, what danger will I, the city lord, face? Sai Wen, don't try to persuade me anymore. I've made up my mind. Let's go together.”
The total area of the city was about two to three square kilometers. Looking down from the sky, one would find that the city was hexagonal in shape. The city walls were ten meters thick and fifteen meters high. As it was in a time of war, the city walls were filled with soldiers holding bows and arrows. The city gate facing the direction of the bandits was also closed.
Auragon controlled the Skywing Bird to land at the city gate. The soldiers on the city wall hurriedly aimed their bows at the three people and the bird.
"Don't shoot!"
Seeing the soldiers aiming their arrows at him, Sai Wen took out the magic card that Tangning had given him and injected a bit of mana into it. The magic card began to glow under the support of the mana.
"We are from the York Family. This is Donald. Young Master York is the future lord of this city. Open the city gates and let us in.”
The magic card was the one from Orlando. The token York gave Tangning represented Orlando himself. There was a special magic imprint on the token. As long as a small amount of mana was injected into it, the magic imprint would appear.
The magic imprint was embedded in the magic card by the family elders. Under normal circumstances, without the magic power of a Archmage, it was impossible to change the magic imprint in the card, so the magic card was the best keepsake.
"It's Lord Orlando's magic card!”
Someone on the city wall recognized the magic card in Sai Wen's hand and said," Quickly open the city gate. Archers, prepare to cover the incoming people. Karim, let's go down and welcome them."”
"No need." Tangning waved her hand and said loudly," We'll just fly in ourselves. We're currently at war. Unless it's absolutely necessary, don't open the city gates."”
As soon as they flew into the city, two people in intermediate mage robes came up to welcome them." Welcome to the City of Gambia, Your Excellency. I am Neon. Lord York, an intermediate mage. This is Parton. Lord Modrian was also an intermediate mage.”
Tangning returned the noble salute and said," Greetings, Lords. I am Donald. Viscount York, this is my butler Savon. Baron Lancaster.
I saw the flames of war from afar and discovered that bandits were attacking the city. Is the City Lord alright now?”
"It has been confirmed that ten minutes ago!”
"Senior Magician, City Lord Hamid," Neon said sadly. Baron York had died in this war.
Along with the Castellan, there were three high-level Spellcasters, a Great Spellcaster, a Great Warrior, and 5,000 elite City Defense Army soldiers.”
"How did this happen?"
" There are a total of four Advanced Magicians, one Grand Magician and one Grand Warrior. To destroy such a force, only the Archmage himself can do it." Tangning replied in disbelief.”
"According to the soldiers who escaped, these noble warriors all died in the hands of Grand Mage Naga," Parton said sadly. Apis 'magic backlash.
The enemy had a despicable assassin. Just as Naga was about to complete the grade-8 spell, Burning Fire City, the assassin suddenly attacked and killed Apis on the spot. The Burning Fire City that he had prepared exploded at the same time.”
"I see!"
Tangning said with a heavy expression," They have returned to the embrace of the God of Light. Pray. They sacrificed themselves for the sake of the City of the Comoros. We must remember them forever."
"After the war ends, I will erect a monument for them in the city. I will carve their deeds on the monument. I will carve the names of all the soldiers who sacrificed in this war on the monument so that future generations can admire their glorious deeds and know about them.
There was once a group of people like this in the City of the Comoros. In order to protect the city from being robbed by thieves, they did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives.”
After speaking, Tangning forced out a few tears.
A few soldiers behind Neon and Parton were filled with tears when they heard this. They seemed to be in high spirits as they walked, but Neon was a little hesitant.
"Is this okay? I didn't object to setting up a monument for the noble mages and warriors, but it didn't seem necessary to set up a monument for the soldiers who came from the commoners.”
"Is that so?"
On this matter, Tangning did not insist. Although it was a small matter, it involved both nobles and commoners. So, before he had enough power, he felt that he had to proceed with caution.
" Yes," Neon replied with certainty.
"Well then!"
Tangning stopped in her tracks and said," We can put aside the matter of the soldiers for now. It's still too early to talk about this. However, the matter of the Magicians and Warriors is something that cannot be questioned. We must do it as soon as the war ends. All the nobles in the city must participate."”
"Of course, that's what I should do." Neon and Parton quickly replied.”
"Very good!"
" Thank you for your support," Tangning said with relief." I will never forget you. Please take me to the City Lord's Mansion."
Those damned bandits haven't left yet, and we still have to form a new City Defense Army. There are still many things waiting for me to deal with. Without the City Lord's Talisman, we can't do anything.”
" Of course." Parton respectfully made a " please " gesture and said," I'm happy to serve my lord. Please come this way."”
"Parton. Modrian?" " Are you from the Modilian Family?" Tangning asked as she walked.”
"Yes, my lord." Parton smiled flatteringly.”
Along the way, many people in noble costumes joined them. When they arrived at the door of a white building, there were dozens of them.
The City Lord's Mansion was built in the middle of the city. There were two thick white stone pillars on both sides of the mansion's door. The beam was made of a whole piece of stone, and the words "City Lord's Mansion" were written on it.
In front of the City Lord's Mansion, Tangning pointed at the three large golden words," Sai Wen, remember this. After the war ends, find someone to change these three words to 'Lord's Mansion,' understand?"”
" Yes, Young Master!" Sai Wen quickly replied loudly.
Tangning wasn't speaking without reason. On the one hand, she was telling everyone that from now on, the owner of this building and this city would be him, Donald. York's status was different from that of Hamid. He was the " Lord " of this city.
On the other hand, he was trying to highlight Sai Wen's special identity and position. At the same time, he was trying to establish Sai Wen's authority, which meant that he was establishing his status and authority as Young Master Donald.
As they entered the City Lord's Mansion, Tangning asked," Have you informed the family about what happened in the City?"”
Neon. "Yes, I have, but I haven't had the time to inform them about the battle outside the city today." York replied.”
"Alright, we'll go inform them now!”
Tangning looked around at the nobles and said," Lord Neon, Lord Parton, please follow me to the Magic Tower. The rest of you, please wait here for a moment."”
