Chapter 875 Third Party

The magic equipment building was bustling with activity, but Fugai and Betse, who were walking beside Ji Xing, were much quieter, completely losing their enthusiasm just now. They only spoke a few words when they encountered something that had to be explained.

What happened just now was really shocking to them. They wanted to ask a few questions, but they didn't know where to start, and they were a little panicked.

What is the actual combat evaluation of the fifth-level mage like?

As an apprentice, Betse was too far away from it and had no idea. Even Fugai, a third-level magic equipment master, only knew the general content of the academy's combat evaluation for fourth-level mages.

After certain preparations and arrangements, and by borrowing spellcasting materials, the maximum destructive power can destroy a street or blow up several buildings at one time, and can defeat an army of a hundred people alone in actual combat, and only then will there be a chance to be promoted to level four.

There should be no mages who were promoted to level five by actual combat evaluation in the academy at present. The only one seemed to be directly awarded by the empire. Even Fugai had never seen the original deity in person. He only knew that some of the precious materials in the academy were obtained by the other party when traveling.

Could it be another person?

Or a Piltover man?

Isn't that a city of technology?

They don't judge people by appearance, because powerful mages often have the secret to keep their youth, and have unique ways to stay young. Ji Xing, who looks about 20 years old, may actually be in his 50s or 60s, but he didn't join the Noxus School of Magic before and was not well-known.

Besides, Ji Xing did show off his skills just now. The action of grabbing Katarina's dagger with his bare hands was very crisp, and Fugai couldn't even see the trajectory clearly.

But he himself is a blacksmith, and his level is derived from his accumulated contributions. He can't judge the level of that move just now.

After walking through several workshops and briefly talking about which equipment in the imperial army was produced here, Betse, who had been struggling for a long time, suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Master Seville, you have just joined the academy, and you must need a few apprentices to help you with chores! What do you think of me?"

No matter whether there is a fifth level, there are three or four levels. Although the current situation of the empire has no place for mages who are good at fighting, the empire will start a war sooner or later!

Besides, he is an apprentice with no background and not very good at learning. Unlike those guys from big families, where do they have so many choices?

Ji Xing glanced at him and nodded: "I won't stay in the academy for a long time. I will go out often. If you don't mind, follow me in the future."

"No...ah, I mean no, why would I care?" Betse suddenly became excited and bowed incoherently.

Fugai next to him was also shocked when he saw this. What am I thinking here? No matter what level he is and whether he greets the commander-in-chief, at least he is better than me! Why am I not as quick as an apprentice!

His expression was filled with enthusiasm again, and at this moment, he met another female mage.

She looked about 30 years old, a little fat or plump, but her beautiful face was not kind, but gloomy.

"Hmm? Fugai, isn't today your day off?" She was a little surprised to see Fugai, and then turned her eyes to Ji Xing.

"Hmm, newcomer?" After confirming that she had never seen him before and that he was not an apprentice, she 'knew' the situation in front of her in an instant, and looked at Ji Xing and said, "Don't listen to Fu Gai's bragging. The status of the magic equipment department in the academy is the lowest.

If you have never been exposed to this aspect, or are not very interested, and have other choices, try not to come here to work as a blacksmith. I see that you are not old, don't choose the wrong path."

Fu Gai: "..."

The woman ignored his unnatural expression and continued to talk to herself: "I was almost tortured crazy by that deputy general of Trifali these two days. It's just a few daggers, but the requirements are more than those life-saving magic equipment. The other party came under the order of the great commander Swain, and I can only cooperate with him with all my strength.

Which mage in the academy can be as frustrated as our equipment department? I regretted not opening my eyes and entering this damn place 10 years ago!"

She He glanced at the elevator and said, "By the way, she went to test the effect of the new dagger an hour ago, and she hasn't come back yet. It should be that she finally met her requirements... Tsk, rude guy, you didn't even say thank you?"

At this time, Fugai, with his mouth twitching and panicking, finally found a chance to interrupt: "Eugeni, don't talk nonsense! Master Seville has his own judgment on the magic equipment department. He is the one who is going to apply for the level 5 mage practical assessment!"

"...Ah?" Eugenie was stunned, and after a few seconds, she said unhappily: "Fugai, this is a bit too much! Do you want the newcomer to become the laughing stock of the academy first, so that he can only join the equipment department?!"

Fugai: "..."

He looked at Ji Xing helplessly, but saw that Ji Xing was just watching the show with a smile. Betsey originally wanted to help explain, but seeing Ji Xing like this, he also bowed his head and kept silent.

Eugenie took two steps closer and said, "Master Seville, is that so? I don't know what Master Fugai said to you before, please forget it all now. If you have any questions, you can ask... Oh, my Noxus!"

She suddenly changed her tone halfway through her words, and her gloomy face seemed to be wearing a mask of pain, because she saw a figure walking out of the elevator.

"Lieutenant General Katarina, are you dissatisfied with the new magic dagger?" She said excitedly, a little defensively.

Katarina also looked cold, looking at her and said, "The lethality is enough, but the weight is a little heavy, which will affect the agility."

Eugenie gritted her teeth and said: "Vice Admiral Catalina, I hope you can make it clear that although magic is magical, it is not a gift from the gods! It's just a few daggers. You need to be light, destructive, and piercing. I suggest you not to waste time here in the magic equipment department, and go to the ice field to find the legendary Flame of the Mountain Hidden!"

Catalina frowned: "Is that so? That should be the beginning. But Master Eugenie, I must remind you that we are all working for the empire. My high demands are not just for myself, but also for the empire. Those of you who are equipped with magic equipment should also hold yourself to higher standards!”

Eugenie: “…”

Ji Xing could clearly see that if she hadn't been defeated, Eugenie would have wanted to tear Katarina apart, and she couldn't help but smile.

Catalina had already walked to Ji Xing and said: "Mage Sewell, Commander Swain has specially awarded you the title of 'Fifth Level Mage'. You can send an apprentice at will to receive your robe and Magic nameplate.”

"..."

Silence.

Eugenie, who was gritting her teeth, was a little confused, and Fugai, who was somewhat mentally prepared, also swallowed hard. Only Bates showed a look of ecstasy after a brief daze.

Special Grant, what does it mean?

Not only does the mage I follow have level five power, but he is also famous. Even Commander Swain has to respect him!

When Ji Xing raised his head, he immediately bowed in response and went to get Ji Xing's things.

"Can it really be level five?!"

Eugenie muttered something in a low voice, looked at Fugai, and then looked at Ji Xing in astonishment. After organizing her words for a long time, she spoke respectfully:

"Congratulations on your fifth-level title. Dear Master Sewell, I apologize for my previous rudeness. Well... the magic equipment system is indeed not a good choice for newcomers, but for a fifth-level mage like you, it can be used as a Let’s find out about your interests and hobbies, and I don’t think anyone would dare to make unreasonable demands on you.”

Obviously, her mood of wanting to tear Catalina apart has not changed, and her words are still full of hidden meanings. Most of her suggestions to Ji Xing are sincere, and she also wants to find a backer for the equipment department.

Ji Xing nodded towards her: "I am indeed somewhat interested in the art of making magic equipment. Master Eugenie, why don't you leave the job of making the magic dagger for Deputy Katarina to me? Well, I'll learn while I'm making it. If you can It would be better to be there to take care of you.”

Catalina suddenly looked at Ji Xing.

What does it mean?

Eugenie doesn’t understand either. Is this to help? Or are you punishing this damn Catalina?

Ji Xing smiled and said: "Vice Admiral Catalina, I am Sewell from Piltover."

Of course I know... Catalina's mind suddenly turned and she suddenly understood. Yes, I was so shocked by the fact that this guy turned out to be an extremely powerful mage that I almost forgot about his famous abilities and his more widely known identity.

He is the chief craftsman of the Philos family and the top scientist in Piltover, a place where science and technology converge. His scientific research technology can almost compete with the best in Rune Land. Apart from enchanting technology, he is an expert in making magic equipment and so on!

No, it's still not right.

Her voice was condensed: "My dagger may be used to assassinate Lady Camille."

"No, you will not receive another mission to Pi City." Ji Xing said.

...Yes, compared to Sewell, Camille is no longer an insignificant role.

"But I assassinated Camille."

"It's not against you." Ji Xing turned around: "It's against Master Eugenie. People treat me with sincerity, and I'll reciprocate with sincerity. Although her previous persuasion didn't help me, I still have to keep it in mind. Since she It’s a headache to make a dagger for you, so I’ll take over this job. For me, it’s just a matter of practicing my skills.”

Eugenie was startled.

Fugai felt that he understood. This seemed to be 'pointing' at me? He didn't dare to show anything on his face, and was even a little panicked, but he couldn't help but start to curse in his heart: To put it simply, do you think it will be easy to create magic equipment? ! It sounded like it was helping Eugenie and not causing any trouble, which would be great!

…

"When people treat me with sincerity, I return the favor with sincerity?" In the Immortal Fortress, Swain softly repeated Katarina's narration.

This sentence is also said to me.

He realized this clearly, his eyes were deep, and the hidden meaning in his words was that the pale lady had given him some kind of help?

It couldn't be about enrolling in the Noxus Academy of Magic, because with his ability, he could easily get the admission letter.

Swain was filled with fear for the pale lady LeBlanc, who established the Black Rose organization and secretly controlled Noxus for thousands of years. Even though he is possessed by the devil, he is currently only forcing Black Rose to gradually move from behind the scenes to the front. He has no idea how many members of Black Rose there are in the empire, and he does not dare to eliminate them.

And now...this Sevier...

"What happened after that?" he asked Catalina: "Did he say anything else?"

Catalina lowered her head and said: "Then he asked me to cooperate and used a ruler to measure the length of my two arms, the length of my palms, the length of each finger, the length of the tiger's mouth... He said based on what theorem, he could calculate it through these data The exact length for my dagger."

After hesitating for a moment, she apologized: "Sorry, Commander Swain, many of the contents are a bit convoluted, I didn't remember them all!"

"It's okay." Swain comforted.

I can’t understand the scientific content anyway.

He continued to ask: "So...how do you feel about him after two contacts?"

Katerina was silent.

"Just answer truthfully."

"I think he's... kind of scary."

It was not seen from words, but the instinctive judgment of a top killer. Her premonition of crisis told her that no matter what opportunity she took, her success rate in assassinating Ji Xing would be close to zero, or even zero!

"Is it scary?" Swain nodded: "He asked you to pick up the dagger in half a month?"

"yes."

"Okay, come back to me when you get the dagger and do your job."

"yes!"

After Katerina left, Swain was the only one left in the palace. He lowered his head and asked in a voice that only he could hear: "What do you think?"

"He smells like a secret."

A dark voice echoed in Swain's ears. It was the demon that possessed him, the 'secret' among the ten demons, Ram!

"He comes from Bilgewater? That's the territory of the fat catfish. He passed there without losing anything." Ram continued: "Maybe there is something in him that even the fat catfish is afraid of, or maybe there is something in him that even the fat catfish is afraid of. He's just an old friend. I can't figure out his secret until I meet him."

"Don't look into it yet," Swain said.

For some reason, similar comments to Catalina's were flashing in his heart, which was terrifying.

This 18-year-old genius scientist and great magician is a bit too unusual. The pale lady invited him to Noxus, which really made her an uneasy leader.

…

Swain wouldn't do anything to himself.

He can be LeBlanc's opponent, and even let LeBlanc not hesitate to introduce himself as a variable, which means that he even has the upper hand in the current confrontation with LeBlanc, so there will be no shortage of strength and wisdom, and it is impossible to rashly action.

When LeBlanc invited her here, she couldn't really expect him to help her deal with Swain. She just said, "There is a cave of the Spider God on the Shadow Island." It was not worth the efforts of Ji Xing and the Noxus Empire. Leader of hostility.

She was just introducing variables. With more layouts and back-ups in Noxus, what she feared most was chronic death. As long as she changed, she would be able to find an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Swain.

Being on the outside, these twists and turns around Ji Xing can be understood without thinking deeply.

So what am I?

It's a variable, a third party.

He's LeBlanc and Swain's 'father'!

In the magic library, Ji Xing flipped through a "Encyclopedia of Mysterious Magic".

The so-called mysterious magic refers to the magic originating from the gods or mysterious creatures in Runeland. That is, people who originally had no magical abilities gained magical magical abilities through adventure.

For example, Tam in Bilgewater uses the most common method to induce people's greed by granting power and abilities.

Hundreds of pages of content were quickly burned into Ji Xing's brain. He instantly understood most of the gods and mysterious creatures on Rune Continent, and what powers they gave them.

Putting the book back in its place, he turned his head towards the place where the whispers were coming from not far away, and saw two mages who were whispering about him.

They met Ji Xing's eyes and quickly showed respectful greetings.

Ji Xing nodded to them and continued to walk towards the depths of the library. This 'treasure house', the accumulation of thousands of years of Noxus, even if it does not involve core secrets, there are too many useful things, and it will become his brain within a week. in storage!

At the same time, news that a fifth-level mage had been added to the Noxus Academy of Magic quickly spread within the academy and among the top families in Noxus.
