Chapter 77
A maid at the door bowed to Locke and Athena two.
“My lord.”
When the two entered the hotel, Locke saw a familiar figure coming over.
Seeing that Locke and Athena had come back safely, Sam seemed to be relieved. “You’re finally back!”
Locke nodded with a smile. Pointing at Sleipnir, Locke asked the maid, “Can you arrange a private room for him at the hotel?”
The maid replied with a smile, “No problem. I’ll arrange it now.”
There were special rooms for the mounts of guests in the best hotels. Some rooms were even as good as the guest’s.
She was going to take Sleipnir’s lead, but found that there was no rein. Just when she didn’t know what to do, she suddenly found Sleipnir with an expression of leading the way.
After a short pause, she turned around and walked towards the exclusive room. As expected, Sleipnir followed her.
Sam was also curious about Sleipnir. However, to his surprise, when he looked at Sleipnir, he saw him raise his head with a trace of humanity disdain in his eyes.
After calming his surprise, Sam asked, “My lord, when are we leaving Dikas City for Lister?”
“Don’t worry.”
Locke shook his head and looked at the door. Just now, he found that the slovenly middle-aged man came with the little girl named “Anne”.
Locke was not surprised that Pierce knew that the two of them had come back. After all, the power of the level-6 practitioner’s perception was enough to cover the whole Dikas City.
“Brother, sister.”
Anne waved at Locke and Athena from a distance.
The slovenly middle-aged man greeted Locke and Athena with a slight nod.
Sam didn’t look down upon his slovenly appearance. He nodded with a smile and greeted him.
Locke asked the hotel maid to prepare two suits of clothes for the man and the little girl respectively.
Only then did Locke find a handsome face behind the man’s beard. Although the extra beard covered part of the man’s face, it made him look more free and easy.
Pierce leaned against the sofa with a bottle of wine in his hand. His unruly face and indifferent and deep eyes seemed to have a natural attraction to women.
But for these women, the man naturally did not look at them.
Locke and Athena arrived at Mage Guild. After they found the original crystal, they didn’t hurry back and planned to read the magic book first.
“Ha-ha, Locke, you’re finally here!”
Hochia trotted over and said excitedly, “Wait a moment. I’ve sent someone to invite the chief.”
While they were talking, Hochia had brought Locke and Athena to the VIP room and asked Ellie to prepare tea for them.
Soon, a short old man with a white beard appeared in front of everyone, holding a magic book in his hand.
“Chief.”
After bowing to the old man, Hochia introduced to Locke, “Locke, this is Rowell Bowen, the chief of Mage Guild in Dikas City.”
“Hello, Mr. Bowen.”
Locke put his right hand on his chest and nodded slightly.
Rowell also returned the etiquette of a mage to Locke. “Oh, Mr. Capet, welcome to Mage Guild again.”
“I heard from Hochia that there is a super-genius who joined Mage Guild. Today I saw you and found that Mr. Capet is really extraordinary.”
“That’s Hochia’s overpraise.”
Locke replied modestly.
After chatting for a while, Locke also expressed his intention to the two of them, indicating that he wanted to read the magic books of Mage Guild.
“According to the rules of Mage Guild, you have to pay the corresponding fees for reading collection of Mage Guild. For different magic books, you have to pay different fees.”
After a pause, Rowell continued, “But if Mr. Capet agrees to do us a favor, I can make the decision and let you read all the magic books in Mage Guild for free.”
Hearing Rowell’s words, Locke fell silent.
Of course, it was the best thing that he didn’t spend money on. But if he needed to do something too troublesome, he was unwilling to agree. So he said, “Let’s talk about something first.”
“We would like to invite you to be on behalf of Mage Guild of Dikas City, attending the competition between guilds of Naton County. Mr. Capet, with your strength, you will get a good ranking.” After saying that, Rowell looked expectant.
“The competition between guilds of Naton County will be held in the county town in two months. Only mages under the age of 25 can participate in it. The ranking of the guild also depends on how much resources each guild will get from the head guild.”
It would be held in the county town two months later. By that time, he must have already been there. Thinking of this, Locke smiled and said, “Okay, I promise.”
“Ha-ha, this time we will definitely be able to hold our heads high and surprise the other guilds!”
Hochia said resentfully. For so many years, the Mage Guild of Dikas City had been suppressed.
After reaching an agreement, Rowell intended to take Locke to the library.
“Who is this lady?”
Seeing that Athena also came, Rowell was a little surprised and then noticed this beautiful girl.
“This is my friend.” Locke explained with a smile.
Rowell nodded and didn’t say anything. Hochia showed an ambiguous look.
The four entered the library together.
The whole library was burlywood. The walls around it were full of bookshelves filled with magic books, and the two shelves in the middle were also filled with books about metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and other systems. At the same time, Locke also noticed a small number of books about thunder, ice, space, and other special magic.
Although the library was not very large, it was definitely the most precious place in the whole Mage Guild.
Beside the bookshelves, there were two rows of tables and chairs made of Nanmu.
Locke picked up a book about the level-2 fire magic and Athena picked up a book about the level-2 water magic casually.
Rowell and Hochia took magic books that they used to read from the bookshelf and began to study them respectively.
Crack~ Crack~
Hearing such a dense sound of turning the pages of books, Rowell and Hochia were stunned. Did the two really come to read books? What could they remember after reading it so fast?
Although they were surprised, the two didn’t say anything. They guessed that Locke and Athena two were just looking for the right magic.
In less than ten minutes, Athena put the magic book back to its original position and picked up another one.
It seemed that this little girl just wanted to see what water magic was like.
Seeing that Athena had finished reading a magic book in such a short time, Rowell and Hochia two thought to themselves. They didn’t believe that Athena could learn the level-2 magic in less than ten minutes.
At the same time, Locke also stood up, put the magic book back to its original position, and took another level-2 magic book.
