Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 2063 Interesting Things

Knowing the nature of the elves, Zhou Xu naturally didn't immediately propose that they join their Great Zhou Wind Mage Corps.

Instead, they started by talking about wind magic.

Although Zhou Xu did not specialize in any one system, his cultivation level of the fifth-star Gold Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm was undeniable. From his perspective, his understanding of mantras was a game-changer for Harlan.

Even a few casual words of advice can greatly inspire and benefit the other person.

As expected, after a brief exchange, Elder Harlan's words were filled with obvious reverence.

Seeing this, Zhou Xu took the opportunity to extend an invitation to Elder Harlan, offering the same conditions and treatment as Elder Roth.

"My main job is to guide the mages in the group on their cultivation; there's basically nothing else to do."

Zhou Xu wasn't lying. The Wood Elf Mage Corps occasionally had to support the Greenery and Environmental Protection Bureau's work, but the Wind Mage Corps really didn't have much to do on weekdays except for cultivation.

Under this premise, the Elven race already had a wind mage corps led by Elder Harlan, and Zhou Xu took the opportunity to merge the two wind mage corps.

As an elder of the high elves, Elder Harlan has often guided the wind mages of her tribe in their cultivation. At most, she is just adding another batch of wind mages from other races.

From Elder Harlan's perspective, there is actually no difference.

At this point, some people might wonder, these two wind-element mages train in different ways, so how will they coordinate when they need to carry out a mission together?

But in reality, this problem is practically non-existent.

Take the current wind mage group as an example. The core is undoubtedly Elder Harlan.

Once on the battlefield, all the other wind mages were Elder Harlan's "power banks"—it's that simple.

Of course, Elder Harlan will retire sooner or later, and she is already in a semi-retired state.

Although Elder Harlan is younger than Elder Roth, she is still over 1,200 years old. Her current strength is only at the Silver Level 2 of the Saint Realm. It is unrealistic to expect her to make a breakthrough in the remaining time and reach the Nascent Soul Realm to extend her lifespan.

She is still the leader of the Wind Mage Guild, which means that apart from her, there are indeed no other Wind Mages at the Saint Realm level within their Great Zhou.

Given Elder Harlan's current condition, he can only remain the leader for another one or two hundred years at most.

In the next one or two hundred years, it will be a matter of who can take the lead.

Zhou Xu didn't worry about that for the time being.

After all, a hundred or two hundred years is a very long time in human perception.

The conversation with Elder Harlan was pleasant, and everything went very smoothly.

After bidding farewell to Elder Harlan, his next meeting was with Bogner, the genius mage of the Grey Elf race.

Zhou Xu wasn't quite sure what the genius mage's current situation was, but Wright was quite nervous, like a worried patriarch.

“Your Majesty, Bogner may have a bit of a temper, but he is actually a good boy.”

He had already started to prepare Zhou Xu for the worst, fearing that the kid might do something offensive.

Zhou Xu couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, Wright, I won't hold a grudge against a child."

Ultimately, how arrogant must that kid be to dare offend him?

To put it bluntly, given his strength, he could wipe that kid out in the blink of an eye.

If the other party isn't a fool, they should know to adjust their attitude.

Conversely, if someone is truly a fool, then there's no need to invest resources and energy in them.

Bogna arrived quickly. When it comes to handsomeness, even among the elves, who are known for their good looks, Bogna, with his silver hair and purple eyes, was exceptionally handsome.

Upon seeing Zhou Xu, he bowed respectfully. "Borgner greets Your Majesty."

He doesn't seem to be a fool after all.

To say the other party was exceptionally respectful wouldn't be an exaggeration, but at least they observed the basic courtesies.

Wright, who was standing nearby, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Xu, on the other hand, had a smile on his face.

"I've heard that you are proficient in fire magic and have an affinity for fire elements? That's just like one of the mages in my fire mage corps."

"He also has an affinity for fire?"

Upon hearing this, Bogner immediately became curious, and at the same time, a sense of comparison arose within him.

"What is his cultivation level?"

"His name is Gilter, and he is currently at the peak of the Transcendent Realm."

Upon hearing this, Bogner felt a surge of disdain.

Peak of the Extraordinary Realm?
To put it nicely, it's just a hair's breadth away from entering the Saintly Realm, but in reality, the difference between the two realms is worlds apart.

In Bogner's view, this level of ability was not worthy of being compared to his own.

However, before he could think further, Zhou Xu's voice rang out again.

"Speaking of Geerte, I'm reminded of something interesting."

As Zhou Xu spoke, he looked at Wright as if he were talking to Wright.

“That kid Gilter had no idea he had a talent for magic in his early years. He just practiced martial arts. When I found him, he was already a martial artist at the Hundred Refinements Realm.”

Upon hearing this, Wright couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

"This shows that he also has considerable talent in martial arts training."

Zhou Xu waved his hand.

"His magical talent is even better. Compared to his magical talent, his martial arts talent is negligible. He is not even a hundred years old yet, but he has already reached the peak of the Transcendent Realm. He is now the leader of my fire mage group. I predict that he will reach the Saint Realm before he is one hundred and fifty years old."

He switched to magic halfway through his life and reached the peak of the extraordinary realm before he was even a hundred years old.
In just a few words, Bogner was rendered speechless.

The slight contempt in my heart had long since vanished, replaced by a constant surge of turbulent waves.

Bogner's arrogance stemmed from the fact that he had reached a level that his peers in the clan could not match at such a young age. In terms of magical cultivation, he was even comparable to the elders of the clan.

As a member of the younger generation, who wouldn't feel smug about this?
But ever since he came into contact with Da Zhou, from Hilke to John and Said, Bogner has suffered quite a few setbacks.

At the beginning, as the genius of the clan, he was incredulous when his halo suddenly shattered, and he even found it hard to accept, which made him hostile towards Hilke and the others.

But his talent was undeniable; he couldn't possibly be a fool. This allowed him to quickly accept the reality and even led to his personal growth. He is now far more mature than before.

Later, facing Hilke and his group who shattered his genius aura, Bogner found it difficult to become friends with them. He had matured, but not to that extent, and he still felt a bit awkward.

They are even thinking of taking a shortcut to overtake them and surpass them in strength.

However, Wright was right about one thing.

In essence, he is not a bad kid.

Even in Zhou Xu's opinion, this kid was a little too easy to understand.
