Chapter 638 - 584: A Show of Force (Part 2)

But it was also clear that Li Wei didn’t care about this little bit of money.

Rota nodded and said, "Mm, alright. I’ll record all of this in the Mage Tower’s ledgers. Since the wealth belongs to Mage Li Wei, he can take it with him at any time."

Gu Ze felt a bit helpless at Rota’s rigidness and nodded with a smile.

Rota put away the Spatial Ring and said, "There are a few other things I need to report to Mage Li Wei."

When he went out to procure supplies, many factions tried all sorts of ways to contact him, hoping to get an audience with the Legendary Mage Gu Sewei through him.

Rota found himself facing major figures he would never normally get to see.

The pressure was immense.

He reluctantly agreed, but the final decision would have to be left to Li Wei.

Gu Ze said, "Li Wei has gone to the Sixth Floor of the Mage Tower."

"Alright, thank you," Rota said.

Gu Ze chuckled and said, "Mage Rota, why are you being so polite with me?"

Hearing this, Rota also revealed a slight smile.

He said with emotion, "Twenty-some years ago, I never would have imagined in my wildest dreams that we would achieve what we have today."

Gu Ze sighed emotionally as well. "Yeah, it’s all thanks to Li Wei. If it weren’t for him, I’m afraid neither of us would have even become Official Mages, let alone achieve what we have now."

Speaking of which, Rota grew curious about Li Wei’s current strength.

He asked, "How strong is Mage Li Wei now?"

Gu Ze glanced at him and said, "Him? He has already surpassed the realm of a Mage."

"If I had to put a name to it, I think he could be called a Magic God."

"A Magic God?"

Rota savored the words, a look of shock spreading across his face.

"Does that mean... Mage Li Wei... has become a god?"

Gu Ze chuckled. "Even if he hasn’t, he’s probably very close."

Rota was utterly stunned.

He had already been astonished when he met the Legendary Mage.

But that was nothing compared to the shock he felt now.

He almost forgot to breathe.

After a long moment, he finally recovered, a smile appearing on his face. "This is great. You and I have witnessed the birth of a true Legend."

Gu Ze smiled. "Perhaps hundreds or thousands of years from now, he too will become a story of legend."

Rota smiled as well.

"If it were a matter of faith in Li Wei, I think I could get behind that..."

Rota said jokingly.

Gu Ze laughed too.

Rota didn’t go looking for Li Wei again.

After learning of Li Wei’s power from Gu Ze, he knew that all the scheming and power struggles in the world were insignificant before him.

Li Wei was on a completely different level from them.

It would be rather rude to bother Li Wei with such trivial matters.

It wasn’t just Li Wei.

Even before Gu Sewei, all these things were minor issues.

Before a Legendary Mage, only fellow Legendary Professionals were worthy of attention.

「The next day, early in the morning.」

A large convoy of carriages appeared outside the Mage Tower.

The leaders of various factions had come to the Mage Tower to meet the Legendary Mage.

They all wanted to be the first to pay their respects and make their faces known.

After all, opportunities to meet a Legendary Level Mage were rare.

The Northern Territory was not like the Central State Land.

There weren’t that many Legendary Professionals.

However, even in the Central State Land, the number of Legendary Professionals was still scarce.

Li Wei frequently encountered Legendary Level powerhouses largely because he himself had already reached that level.

Even now, he often ran into Demigod Level Powerhouses.

’Are there really that many Demigod Level Powerhouses in the world?’

No, it was simply because Li Wei was at the Demigod Level.

Therefore, the opponents he encountered at his level were also Demigod Level Powerhouses.

Any weaker enemies were simply ignored.

It was just like that night with the countless Demonized Creatures Li Wei had annihilated.

They had all died without even seeing his face.

They couldn’t be considered opponents at all.

CLANG! CLANG!

Suddenly, the sound of colliding Armor rang out.

A commotion broke out among the convoy of carriages on the street outside the Mage Tower’s main gate.

Several luxurious carriages were seen desperately scrambling to the side of the road, not even caring if they crashed into one another.

Because a VIP of Epic Level importance had arrived.

Fully armed members of the Beixuan Dark Guard cleared the way as King Otz of the Beixuan Kingdom arrived personally by carriage before the Mage Tower’s gate.

By the time he reached the entrance of the Mage Tower,

the crowd of carriages that had been jammed at the gate had all vanished.

Only the single carriage carrying Otz remained, waiting at the entrance.

He was waiting for the Mage Tower to open its gates.

The others who witnessed this scene were also shocked.

Along the street, many clueless onlookers were completely bewildered by what was happening outside the Mage Tower.

They had already thought it was amazing to see the heads of the city’s various factions coming to the Mage Tower and figured a major event was about to happen.

Then, they saw that King Otz had arrived as well.

And he was waiting outside without ordering anyone to open the gate.

What kind of treatment was this?

Who on earth was inside the Mage Tower?

To make even King Otz show such deference?

Everyone wore curious expressions, craning their necks to peek at the tightly shut gates of the Mage Tower.

The Mages on duty inside the gate were already stunned by the situation outside.

When they got up and saw the vehicles of a crowd of bigwigs outside, they were bewildered and didn’t know what was going on.

Before they could even report the matter to their superiors,

they saw King Otz’s exclusive carriage appear outside the gate.

For a moment, they didn’t know whether they should open the gate or not.

After coming to his senses, the Mage on duty hurriedly said, "Quick, go inform Mage Rota!"

Soon, Rota had hastily dressed and walked to the courtyard gate. Seeing the scene outside, he couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath of cold air.

’Such a grand display?’

Rota quickly gave an order, "Hurry and get everyone else ready for the reception."

The visitor was the King of the Beixuan Kingdom; the Mage Tower naturally couldn’t just do nothing.

The Legendary Mage was Gu Sewei.

The Magic God was Li Wei.

Although they were associated with the Mage Tower, they did not represent the Mage Tower itself.

Rota still acknowledged Otz’s status as the King of the Beixuan Kingdom. As the current person in charge of the Mage Tower, he naturally had to ensure the Mage Tower showed the proper attitude to welcome the King.

At the very least, the Maple City Mage Tower was still part of the Beixuan Kingdom.

The Professionals from the Ice and Snow City living in the courtyard tents were also awakened by the commotion outside.

Although they were no longer in danger, their vigilance had not relaxed.

This was a habit cultivated over many years, not one that could be changed in a short time.

While the Mages of the Mage Tower were preparing the various welcoming ceremonies,

all the survivors from the Ice and Snow City residing in the Mage Tower also woke up.

They spontaneously gathered in the Mage Tower’s main courtyard.

At this moment, Li Wei and Gu Sewei were still lying in the large bed on the Seventh Floor of the Mage Tower, sound asleep and having sweet dreams.

There was nothing in Maple City that could threaten Li Wei.

Naturally, Li Wei couldn’t maintain constant perception and alertness to the outside world.

He was still unaware of what was happening outside.

The Beixuan Dark Guard Commander waiting outside the gate was growing impatient.

’How bold of this Mage Tower,’ he fumed silently, ’to dare make His Majesty the King wait for so long.’

If the King hadn’t given the order not to act without permission,

he probably would have kicked the gate right open.

Just as his impatience was peaking,

the gate before him finally opened.

A look of relief washed over him. ’The gate is open at last.’

Otherwise, he was afraid Otz would get angry.

When he saw the scene inside, his expression instantly froze.

Before him were nearly a thousand Professionals. The number of those at Tier Four and above alone exceeded a hundred.

Among them were many powerful Professionals of Tier Five and Tier Six.

With the gate open, everyone inside was looking out.

Meeting the gazes of nearly a thousand Professionals, the Beixuan Dark Guard Commander felt an unprecedentedly terrifying, murderous aura.

These people were like Evil Ghosts that had crawled out of Hell.

Every single gaze was bone-chilling.

He felt a chill run down his spine.

It felt as if they might pounce and devour him at any moment.

In an instant, the Beixuan Dark Guard Commander felt that the Mage Tower courtyard before him was like a dragon’s den or a tiger’s lair.

He hesitated, not daring to take a single step forward.

He was afraid that King Otz would be in danger if he went inside.

The men he had with him would be completely unable to stop a siege from nearly a thousand Professionals who were like Evil Ghosts.

No, even if he summoned all the Beixuan Dark Guards, they still couldn’t handle the nearly one thousand Evil Ghosts before them.
