On the adventurers' carriage, Mage Helen was enthusiastically conversing with Locke and the others.
Alicia used the magic artifact Charm Bracelet worn on her right hand. This was one of the magic artifacts she purchased for self-defense after the wizard airship encountered danger.
It had the Enchantnt School's First Circle powerful human charm spell on it.
The effect of this spell was that during combat, one could use this spell to forcibly control the mind of an intelligent humanoid creature for one hour.
Or it could have a ntal confusion effect on humanoid creatures within range, interfering with their thinking and making them unable to doubt the truthfulness of what one said.
This way, no matter what questions Locke and Alicia asked them, these people wouldn't feel strange. Instead, they would tell these lifesavers all this information in detail.
Locke asked about the identities of these five adventurers and this world's power system. All five were adventurers, a relatively mature adventure team from the Adventurers' Association.
This world had professions like thieves, mages, assassins, hunters, warriors, and knights. But actually, those adventurer professions all relied on magic items or bloodline modification to beco professionals.
So the true core of power in this world had only one source—mages.
Mage Helen didn't realize that what she considered two high-level mages were asking her so very basic questions. Instead, she enthusiastically introduced to her two lifesavers, "We mages are divided into ten levels: Apprentice Mage, Lower Mage, Mid Mage, Upper Mage, Grand Mage, Mage King, Mage Emperor, Mage Sovereign, Mage Venerable, Mage Saint, and finally Mage God!"
Locke was already speechless. He didn't know why this world's magic level nas were so chuunibyou.
Even Alicia frowned, feeling these power level classifications were really sowhat...
Alicia muttered softly, "Who ca up with these nas? So direct, without any subtlety."
Locke reminded, "Miss Helen, didn't you say mages only have ten levels? But you just ntioned eleven levels."
Mage Helen nodded. "Right, but the problem is this world only has Mage Saints, not Mage Gods."
"In this world, no Mage Saint has yet beco a Mage God. But they say as long as one crosses that threshold and becos a Mage God, they can beco a god ruling this world and completely eliminate the demon race."
Locke asked, "So Helen, what level mage are you?"
Helen didn't find this question strange at all. Instead, she took it for granted, puffing out her chest. "I'm a Mid Mage level mage."
"Because of , this squad can be a relatively professional adventurer squad."
"The guardian lord of our city, Anrela, is a Mage Emperor. You two should also be Mage Emperors, right?"
Helen looked at Locke and Alicia with admiring eyes. Locke appeared steady and reliable, while Alicia looked dignified and magnanimous. Both gave her the feeling of being important figures.
Helen said, "Two lords, could I... could I stay by your side and learn magic from you? I will definitely study hard. I want to take you two lords as my ntors."
Locke and Alicia exchanged glances. They didn't expect soone had introduced the wizard world's ntor system here too.
Locke asked, "ntors?"
Helen didn't notice anything wrong. Instead, under the effect of the powerful human charm spell, she imdiately explained, "Yes, ever since humanity's first Mage Saint, the great Grand Mage Sulla, brought magic to us humans and allowed us to beco mages, we ford the ntor system."
"Grand Mage Sulla abolished families and promoted schools, advocating that wizards abandon blood relations and teach the magical techniques in their hands to excellent students unrelated by blood. It's been three hundred years now."
"Since then, the number of our human mages has grown more and more. From originally having only one Mage Saint, now we even have thirty-one Mage Saints."
"This is all thanks to the wisdom passed down by Grand Mage Sulla, and Grand Mage Sulla being the first to break convention without being stingy, selflessly passing this knowledge to strangers with no blood relation."
"So this is the ntor system."
Mage Helen's words made the expressions on Locke and Alicia's faces in the carriage beco very strange.
Locke glanced at Alicia, who had been maintaining silence, then thought to himself that in the wizard world, Grand Wizard Sulla was the number one family wizard leader of the Land of Six Towers. Yet in this Mage Plane, Grand Wizard Sulla wasn't doing families anymore but started indulging in abolishing families and promoting schools.
If the two were really the sa person, that would be too interesting.
It was just unknown what exactly Grand Wizard Sulla wanted to do.
The situation now seed to be getting more and more confusing.
From the looks of it now, Grand Wizard Sulla's illness did indeed seem to hide secrets.
In the carriage, Female Mage Helen suddenly said, "Unfortunately, just when our human civilization was developing to its peak in this world, those demons ca. The demon race brought massive amounts of magic beasts. They also pollute the land. In the areas where they live, trees wither and animals die."
"The demons' bodies are each as hard as stone and steel."
"Under the demon race's assault, our human territory has decreased by at least one-third. However, I heard that recently Grand Wizard Sulla is about to attempt becoming a Mage God. If he becos a Mage God, he'll definitely be able to eliminate those demons, right?"
"As long as Grand Wizard Sulla can beco a Mage God one step ahead of the demon king, this world will welco eternal peace, right?"
Female Mage Helen fell into beautiful fantasies.
Locke glanced at her. Attempting to beco a Mage God?
He didn't know how this world's power system corresponded to the wizard world's power system. But this woman before him who called herself a Mid Mage was actually just a third-rate wizard apprentice in the wizard world.
The assassin driving the carriage said, "Two Mage Emperor lords, we've arrived at the city. Haha, later we can treat you to drinks at the tavern, and chat and drink with the tavern's most flirtatious dancing girls to repay your life-saving grace. Hahaha..."
The warrior sitting on the carriage said, "How can you say such things in front of two Mage Emperors! These are Mage Emperors. Wait... it seems an important person ca to our city today."
"A Mage Venerable ca! It must be that a noble Mage Venerable level mage ca to our city for inspection. Now the whole city is under martial law. We few need to be careful what we say."
Locke and Alicia exchanged glances. Both were very interested in the so-called Mage Venerable level mage in that city. After all, the level after Mage Venerable was Mage Saint.
And in this world, the so-called Grand Mage Sulla was a Mage Saint level mage.
So as long as they could confirm this Mage Venerable level mage's magical pressure level, they could roughly confirm the correspondence between this world's power system and the wizard world's power system.
In the carriage, Locke sensed the magical pressure reactions in the city outside. "That so-called Mage Emperor level mage has magical pressure just over 200, roughly corresponding to a first-rate wizard apprentice. That Mage Venerable level mage has magical pressure of 600."
"That ans this world's Mage Emperor level mages are wizards who just beca first-rate wizard apprentices, while Mage Sovereign level mages, I guess, are first-rate wizard apprentices with magical pressure around 400. Mage Venerable level mages equal first-rate wizard apprentices with magical pressure around 600."
Locke said, "The only question is whether this world's Mage Saint level mages are First Circle wizard level or first-rate wizard apprentices with magical pressure around 800."
In other words, the nine levels from mage apprentice onward in this world corresponded to the three apprentice levels in the wizard world.
It was just unknown whether Mage Saints could correspond to First Circle wizards, and whether the so-called Mage Gods corresponded to Second Circle wizards.
Locke said in the carriage, "Actually, as long as we gather this information, we can directly go find this world's Grand Mage Sulla and see if this person is your grandfather."
"However, what's the situation with that so-called demon race? It looks like so kind of black magic modified life forms, and apparently ca later."
As soon as the carriage entered the town, Locke heard the shouts of the town guards. "Mage Venerable lord has co down for inspection. All those with a cross-shaped blue birthmark on the back of their left hand within the town, step forward voluntarily. Any intelligence, please report to the Mage Saint Hall."
"Recently, rumors have been flying that Grand Mage Sulla will die this year. A demon has infiltrated human cities. He has a cross-shaped blue birthmark on the back of his hand. He will pierce Grand Mage Sulla's heart with a blade this year, seize everything from him, and replace Grand Mage Sulla."
"Giving Grand Mage Sulla his destined death!"
In the carriage, Alicia's eyes widened as she looked at Locke's left hand. "Locke, look at your left hand."
Locke looked down and saw that at so unknown ti, a cross-shaped blue birthmark had appeared on the back of his left hand.
Locke frowned. "Divination School? Alicia, I can sense Divination School magic surging around us. We may have already entered so invisible contest."
"This matter is getting more and more complicated. But it shouldn't be like this. Today, my helping you and discovering the direction of Grand Wizard Sulla's soul, thereby discovering this plane's entrance, were all completely chance events. I'm already a liquefaction wizard. If there really were a problem, it would be impossible for not to sense it at all."
Alicia said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Locke. You're only getting dragged into this because you wanted to help ."
"Now, what should we do?"
The carriage was stopped by guards. Outside, a guard shouted, "People in this carriage, co down for a mont. We need to inspect you. It's just a quick inspection."
