The mage arrives

"I've only touched the third layer of the magic net for a month, so it's nothing."

"This is already remarkable, Mr. Burdisso, you are only 22 years old, and you have already become a three-ring mage, and you must have a bright future." Tracy praised.

"There are many people who are better than me." Burdisso glanced at Gordon.Although he spoke humbly, there was a trace of pride in his expression, as if he meant to bid farewell to Gordon.

Hey, why bother the mage to embarrass the mage.

Gordon felt that there was no need to show off in front of the other party, so he casually echoed "It's really admirable", and then changed the subject: "You two, what are you doing?"

"We tracked down a phantom fox, and Mr. Burdisso wants to help me catch it." Miss Tracy said.

The phantom fox is a small, extremely fast creature with a variety of illusion and spell-like abilities.In "Ancient Era", the Phantom Fox's challenge level is not too high, about the same as a medium-armed orc warrior.

Although the combat power is not strong, due to its unique biological characteristics, it is difficult to capture or kill the phantom fox.Although the phantom fox does not have any precious alchemy materials, the clothes made of its fur will reflect the radiance under the light source, which is as beautiful as the phantom.This is why the Phantom Fox got its name.

It is precisely because of this that under the strong demand of beautiful aristocratic women, the hunting and fur sales of phantom foxes have always been a very profitable business.

"However, I haven't heard that there are phantom foxes in the Cold Mist Mountains." Gordon said.

"The phantom fox is a very intelligent creature, able to adapt to various environments, and has no specific place to live. Mr. Gordon, I recommend you to read the "Encyclopedia of Creatures" written by Master Ossie Triles. In addition, accumulating knowledge is also very important." Burdisso said in the tone of a teacher educating students.

Gordon smiled, but didn't respond.

At this moment.Several soldiers ran over panting, looking at the family emblem on their armor, it should be the person brought by Burdisso.

"Master, the area within a three-kilometer radius has been cleared, and there are no other large animals or people."

Burdisso nodded: "Very good."

Then, he looked at Miss Tracy, showing a confident and calm smile: "Miss Tracy, I am going to start the magic ceremony. Please look forward to it, I will definitely catch that Phantom Fox for you. Because only your beauty , can be worthy of the Chinese clothes made of phantom fox fur."

Tracy showed the reserved smile typical of noble ladies: "I'm looking forward to it. Mr. Burdisso."

Seeing that the other party was going to hunt the Phantom Fox, Gordon was about to leave, but Trish said, "Mr. Gordon, why don't you stay too? I don't have a wise and powerful mage to protect me. I always feel a bit Empty."

"Isn't Mr. Burdisso a mage?"

"Indeed, but he's not wise enough, nor strong enough." Tracy turned sideways.Leaning almost her entire delicate body on Gordon's arm, "I've heard the name Gordon Freeman countless times. I know all about your wonderful performance in the Sun Elf Castle. Not you, I am afraid that one-third of the nobles in Clear Water City will hold funerals in autumn to bury their young children."

Gordon glanced at Tracy, wondering why she knew the news.

"No need to guess, she is a believer of the goddess Lilya. Mrs. Dinah told a lot of heroic deeds about you in the church's exclusive secret salon." Tracy said.Meimou stared straight at Gordon, "I've always been curious about what the young mage who saved the entire Bishui City Diocese of Lierya Church looked like. Today, I finally got my wish."

"That's just a coincidence. I prefer chatting with a beauty like you than fighting to the death with cultists." Gordon said.

"You can really talk... By the way, you haven't promised me yet." Tracy stretched out her slender hand wearing a buckskin glove, and placed it on Gordon's thigh without any trace.

"It's an honor to be with a beautiful girl like you," Gordon said.

After experiencing the intense and exciting adventures of the Danzi Ruins, as well as various fierce battles, it is not bad to relax now.It's still early anyway.

When the two were talking, Burdisso was busy three meters away in an open space that had just been cleared by his guards.

He used grass-green juice to paint and paint on the ground, and then sprinkled a special powder on the ground in a precise position.Then, the pretentious three-ring mage took a small amount of wind elemental essence in his hand, and began to perform magic rituals with specific words and actions.

When the white light flashed and the essence of the wind element in Burdisso's hand disappeared, a beagle with a transparent body made of pure magical energy appeared in the open space.

"Go, find the phantom fox's cave." Burdisso raised his hand and pointed, and the transparent beagle summoned by the magic ceremony rushed out with a "whoosh".When it galloped, it left luminous footprints on the ground, which can be easily followed by people.

After finishing the magic ceremony, Burdisso looked back and found that Tracy was talking to Gordon while covering her mouth with a charming smile, which seemed to be a pleasant conversation.

He was a little unhappy, but he still kept a charming smile and walked to the two people.

"Mr. Burdisso, you don't mind if I invite Mr. Gordon to participate in the hunt." Miss Tracy said in a sweet but not offensive voice.It seems that she is very skilled in how to act like a baby to men.

"Of course. If possible, I would also like to discuss arcane knowledge with Mr. Gordon." Burdisso said.

Although he didn't seem to care, the young man from the Baratheon family was still a little tender. After he finished speaking, he pulled the rein and rode to the front, as if he didn't want to say a word to Gao Den more talk.

"It seems that Mr. Burdisso is a little dissatisfied with my joining. Is this appropriate?" Gordon whispered.But he looked relaxed, and he didn't seem to worry about offending the other party at all.

Tracy curled her lips: "Don't worry, Mr. Gordon. Although Burdisso's jeweled crest on his chest is dazzling, he himself is nothing special. His father is just the cousin of Grand Duke Bowen Baratheon. ——not born to his main wife, but just a lover's son. In the Baratheon family, there are at least thirty or forty young people like him."

The coquettish red-haired beauty covered her mouth with a light smile and said, "There is a saying in the noble circles that 'Ed's hammer and Rob's scepter are not as good as Baratheon's gun..."

Gordon couldn't help smiling.

This jingle was indeed widely circulated among the aristocratic circles of the Freyton Empire, and it spoke of the characteristics of the three Grand Dukes of the Empire in a very interesting way.

Guarding the eastern border of the empire against the Black Dragon Empire Northrend is Warhammer Lord Ed Stryker.With the lava hammer "Longonada" in his hand, this legendary warrior has killed countless Northrends and guarded the peace of the empire.

Rob Antello, the lord of the scepter who ruled the Northland, has fallen into the realm of legend for many years, but he has a profound background. His reputation of defeating orcs and resisting demons back then has been mentioned so far, and he can't help but give a thumbs up and praise.

Of these two grand dukes, one is extremely powerful and the other has superb spells. They are both strong men admired by everyone.

And when the Diamond Lord was mentioned, the first impression he gave was: rich.The second impression is: able to give birth.

Bowen Baratheon has twelve sons and eighteen daughters, and this autumn, the No.14 wife he just married, a 15-year-old forest elf girl, gave birth to No.13 sons.

Not only Bowen Baratheon himself, but also those brothers of the Silmaril Lord, all of them are capable of giving birth.

Compared to working hard on a woman's belly all day long, the men of the Baratheon family who only have one daughter so far can be called prolific.

That's why there was that jingle in Tracy's mouth.

The Baratheon family was thriving and prosperous, wielding great influence in the Empire.But the disadvantages are not without.There are only so many family resources, but the descendants are constantly increasing, which leads to extremely fierce internal competition.

It's no wonder that Triximing knew that Burdisso wanted to take this opportunity to hunt the Phantom Fox to pursue him, so he dared to invite Gordon to go with him.It turned out that she didn't care about the other party's identity at all.If Burdisso was the son of Grand Duke Bowen Baratheon, maybe Miss Tracy would have a different attitude.

A collateral descendant of the Baratheon family like Burdisso, apart from bearing the name of a diamond, would not really benefit much from the family.

What's more, although the aptitude to be promoted to the third-ring mage at the age of 22 is not bad, it is definitely not top-notch.Even without Gao Deng, the 20-year-old master Don Lannister, who has been in contact with the fourth layer of the magic net for a long time, can already completely crush Burdisso in terms of arcane talent.

After riding alone for a while, it seemed that he couldn't stand the laughter from the man and woman behind him. Finally, Mr. Burdisso decided to abandon his arrogance and join the conversation between Gordon and Miss Trish.

In the animal kingdom, in order to defeat rivals and compete for females during estrus, males will always try their best to express themselves, such as showing off their beautiful feathers, singing with a high voice, or simply having a duel to show their strong physique.

This principle can also be applied to humans or other intelligent creatures.

Mr. Burdisso fully demonstrated his eloquence and self-proclaimed profound arcane knowledge in front of Tracy, and kept running against Gordon with words both openly and secretly.

He almost hugged Tracy's shoulder and shouted: "Look, this guy is completely inferior to me, Tracy, you still follow me."

For Burdisso's hostility due to jealousy, Gordon just responded silently and smiled, and then turned to continue chatting with the charming Miss Tracy.

Such an attitude made Burdisso itch with hatred, but he couldn't attack.Otherwise, it would appear that he is too aristocratic.

Finally, following the footprints left by the hounds, the three of them and a group of guards came to a stone cave. (To be continued..)
