Celestial Mage

Chapter 53 The Sublime Mage

Fifty years ago, Deuta VIII, the God Emperor of the Golden Empire, signed and issued the "Mage Decree".

The purpose of the decree is that mages are the inheritors of knowledge, the spokespersons of wisdom, and the most elite existence of the human race, so they enjoy a lofty status in the empire.

With the support of this decree, the status of mages has been improved unprecedentedly.

Among them, the official mages who have been recognized by the mage guilds, temples, and lords have become particularly noble.

No one, including the lord, should restrict the freedom of life of an official mage without reason, must not easily damage the official mage's body, let alone insult the personal dignity of an official mage, and must treat the official mage favorably and provide him with decent living conditions.

The residence of the Silvermoon Castle Mage Guild fully demonstrated the lord's kindness to official mages.

In Rosen's eyes, this is a gorgeous palace.

The spotless granite floor, the thick and exquisite marble pillars, the exquisite reliefs on the walls, and the magnificent main hall all show a kind of luxury far beyond the ordinary.

Not to mention the people walking in the palace.

The seemingly simple but luxurious robes, the best moonstone as big as a cat's eye, or the sapphire like a pigeon egg.Or the slightly raised chin, the reserved manner of looking down at people, seems to be saying the same sentence.

Pay attention, mortals, in this magnificent hall, the most beautiful and noble existence in the world is hidden!
Arriving here, Xia Bolai, a high-ranking warrior, shrank his head like a quail, not daring to show any arrogance.

As a member of the official mage, Serendis took out his mage emblem from his pocket.

The mage emblem, made of pure secret gold, presents a luxurious and mysterious lavender throughout, which means that the caster is a mid-level official mage.

There are also 12 flawless sapphires the size of sesame seeds inlaid on the periphery of the emblem, which means that the official mage has a 12-star spellcasting ability.

She pinned the emblem on her chest, and the tattered beggar woman's dress on her body immediately transformed into a unique and fashionable dress.

As a result, all the gazes cast on her immediately turned from disdain to admiration.

As for Rosen, he was also a little shocked by the wealth of the mage guild, but he was a low-key person, so no matter where he was, his external performance did not change much.

The lobby on the first floor is very busy, with people coming and going, not much inferior to the Chengnan Market.

Rosen found that most of them were actually unofficial mages. They had manuscripts in hand and listened to them. Most of them came for the exam.

It can be seen from this that the formal mage qualification is noble, and the competition must be very fierce.

Luo Sen thought to himself: "This is really the other world's version of Kao Gong."

After the three of them entered the hall, a young man in a navy blue silk mage robe greeted them.

"The place where magic is important, idlers are not allowed to enter. Can the three of you make an appointment in advance?"

Xia Bolai shrunk his neck, and silently took half a step back, showing Serendis in front of him.

Naturally, Serendis would not be stage-frightened, and said softly, "Master Philama, I have something important to see the president."

She is a mid-level mage, and her spellcasting ability is ridiculously high, while the young man in front of her is a low-level formal mage who has just been promoted, with only a four-star mithril emblem pinned to her chest.

Although there is a huge gap in the quality of clothing between the two, the huge gap in the achievement of skills makes the latter have to bow his head.

"It turned out to be Madam Serrandis."

Ferama first respectfully bowed to the next mage, and then showed doubts.

"If I remember correctly, you have recently been involved in a brutal serial murder case, and you are the biggest suspect?"

Serrandis shook his head: "There have been new developments in the case. I have been revoked as the number one suspect by the Public Security Department, and the wanted list has been cancelled."

"I can testify." Xia Bolai said weakly.

"Oh~ that's how it is."

Ferama moved sideways to get out of the way: "Then, please sit here, please. Mr. Phelan is very busy, so let me notify you first and ask for his opinion."

"Well, please excuse me."

Serendis, who was enthusiastic and lively like a little girl in front of Rosen, also appeared very restrained at the moment.

The three were taken to a small resting room, and Ferama quickly turned and left.

About a quarter of an hour later, he hurried back again: "Ms. Serrandis, Mr. Chapolet, and this one"

"This is Rosen, my most capable apprentice. I was able to get rid of the suspicion of the murderer so quickly. He contributed a lot, and he also knows the case best, so I hope he can listen together."

"Oh, let's come together, Mr. Phelan is willing to spend a quarter of an hour listening to your statement."

The three of them followed Master Philama, along an inconspicuous corridor against the wall, all the way through the gorgeous hall, walked up the white and flawless marble spiral staircase, all the way up to the top floor of the hall, and then walked through the spacious and bright corridor, finally came to a A spacious room with a very heavy decoration style.

After entering the room, Rosen secretly looked at the layout.

Soft carpets, a warm fireplace, huge windows, a huge black jade incense wood carved desk, and a gray-haired old man sitting behind the desk.

Seeing this person, Serrandis bowed his knees and bowed to the next mage, saying: "Mr. Fei Lun."

Xia Bolai also performed the warrior salute at the same time, and Luo Sen also followed his mentor and performed the lower-level mage salute.

When saluting, he quietly glanced at the emblem on the chest of the other party.

Shining with emerald green broken stars, it seems to be extremely precious star meteorite, with 15 sapphires inlaid on the outer ring, which means 15-star spellcasting ability.

"A 15-star sorcerer at the peak of the high level, amazing! But the mentor is obviously more than 20 stars, but only shows 12 stars. It is estimated that this person is also hiding his strength."

On the other side, Fei Lun nodded in response, his deep eyes slowly turned around the three of them, and finally landed on Rosen, more precisely, on the Crescent Staff in Rosen's hand.

A gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Aha~~ Has the proudest and loneliest genius spellcaster of Silvermoon Castle finally found his successor?"

Listening to these words, it was like a joke between the elders and the younger generation.

Serrandis pursed his lips and smiled, showing emotion.

"Yes, the way of magic is vast and endless. After years of searching, I finally found out that I am not the chosen one, but I am just a little brighter among the many stars."

"Hehehe~~"

Fei Lun let out a kind laugh, and after laughing, he looked serious.

"Serandis, I never believed the murder rumors, but I must respect the evidence. Tell me how you got yourself into such a scandal."

Serrandis concentrated his attention, and began to talk about his recent experience.

Rosen on the side also listened intently, not missing any details.

It turned out that shortly after the murder, Serendis noticed that something was wrong, but she spent most of her time in magic research, so she didn't care.

When she found out that someone was trying to pour dirty water on her, she went out many times late at night, trying to find out the murderer behind the scenes.

It is precisely because of this action that Xia Bolai, who has been chasing the murderer, bumps into him, so there is a series of misunderstandings afterwards.

After listening, Fei Lun asked: "I have also done some understanding of the case, I would like to ask, how to explain the evidence found in your residence?"

Serrandis looked at Rosen himself: "I can't explain it, but I believe that my apprentice was present all the time, so he can."

"Oh, interesting."

Phelan looked at Rosen.

Rosen was not stage-frightened either. He took a step forward and said in a very firm tone, "It was framed. I have two pieces of evidence."

"First, I saw the instructor's compartment that day, and there were no messy bottles in it. Second, it was collected from the window. It was fresh footprints that were not wiped clean on the window sill."

He didn't talk about fingerprints, because the world might not recognize them.

"Interesting. The first piece of evidence is too subjective. Considering that you are Serrandis's apprentice, it cannot be accepted. As for the second piece of evidence, how did you prove it?"

Rosen had been prepared for a long time: "When I arrived, the sludge on the window sill was not completely dry, so I did a special comparison experiment. In the cold winter night, it only takes about 20 to 35 minutes for the sludge to appear in a similar dry state. For a while, my mentor wasn't in the cabin."

A fairly good alibi, enough to prove Serandis innocent.

Fei Lun clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I have observed very carefully, and I have complete trust in my mentor. Serrandis, I understand your choice."

Serrandis was also a little joyful, and asked, "Mr. Phelan, can my suspicion be cleared?"

Fei Lun nodded: "The moment the real culprit appeared, your innocence was restored. As for the inquiry from the magistrate, please cooperate as much as possible. After all, official mages also have the obligation to maintain law and order."

Serrandis nodded: "As you wish, President."

"Then, the murder case in the south of the city market has nothing to do with you, and I'm a little tired, so let's quit."

"Yes."

The three saluted respectfully again, and then exited President Faerun's room one by one.

Xia Bolai, who always behaved like a quail outside the mage's guild, let out a long breath.

"Well~ those mages always look at others with unconcealable contempt, which makes people panic."

Serandis glanced at him: "To be precise, I see the contempt in your eyes. It does not include me and my apprentices."

Xia Bolai laughed dryly, although the smile faded: "I'm so sorry last night, I saw you standing next to the corpse with a bloody knife in your hand, I misunderstood."

Serrandis shook his head: "No need to apologize, it's not your fault. Although I was checking the knife at the time, the scene was indeed easy to misunderstand. After thinking about it, it seems more like the murderer deliberately arrange."

Xia Bolai nodded to express his understanding, but he was a little puzzled: "Why do you think Oleke put so much effort into framing you?"

Serrandis shook his head: "Who knows. Well, let's leave this matter for now. I'm tired, Rosen, shall we go back?"

Rosen appeared in time: "Mentor, are you going back to the Hound House or your cabin?"

"Of course it's our wooden house. I believe my dearest apprentice will be able to restore the order of the wooden house immediately, right?"

"Yes, mentor."

Serrandis turned his head and smiled at Xia Bolai, and waved his hand as farewell.

"Thank you again, Xia Bolai, you really brought me a very, very good apprentice."

Xiapolei was immediately dazzled, and was stunned on the spot for a while, unable to speak.

On the other side, the master and apprentice walked in silence for a while.

After getting some distance from Chapolei, Rosen broke the silence.

"Mentor, the real culprit is Veronica, right?"

At that time, he was inside the house of the prey, but Serendis was outside, and there was a high probability that he had seen the real culprit.

Serrandis nodded slightly: "That's right, it's her."

Rosen asked again: "How does the mentor plan to deal with this?"

"Of course it is to make her pay the price. Of course, it is not the style of a mage to act impulsively. You must first understand your opponent deeply before discussing specific methods."

After a pause, she turned to look at Rosen.

"In addition, my dearest apprentice has made rapid progress, far exceeding the instructor's expectations, so I have to understand it well."
