Mage Legend-Chapter 12: Episode 4 Wandering

The arrival of Mage Kuziman finally allowed the City Lord's long-suspended heart to settle comfortably back in place. A mage renowned across the entire continent had come to Moon Harbor City to participate in the preparations against the giants' defense—an occurrence rare in history. Indeed, the number of Great Mages is now extremely scarce, with the entire Mage Association having no more than a thousand members. Yet, they hold a crucial position across the continent. No organization or individual would dare to challenge the Mage Association's authority. Fortunately, the mages do not care for worldly power and struggles; they devote their minds to researching the revival of the former glory of mages.

They constructed massive floating cities, patrolling the boundless sky; they erected towering magic towers, ruling over every blade of grass and tree on the ground; even in the deep dark sea, there were enormous ships built by mages, wandering through the deep trenches.

The floating cities turned into meteorites, crashing among the mountains; the magic towers crumbled into rubble, buried deeply beneath the ruins; and the large ships in the sea had long sunk into the unfathomable ocean depths.

He did not attempt to prevent it but instead quietly left a gift for everyone: the Magic Network. Thus, even if he disappeared completely, the survivors would have the opportunity to begin using magic once again—in a whole new way.

www.cmfu.com发布 That's how the mages on the Anriel Continent came to be.

www.cmfu.com发布 As a regular member of the Mage Association, Lynch was walking down the streets of Moon Harbor City. Since parting ways with his friends seven years ago and returning to his mentor at the Mage Association, Lynch had not left there one step. This time, receiving the Mage Association's assignment to travel to this northern fortress city was a very good holiday for him.

www.cmfu.com发布 According to his own words: "Although magic possesses endless and ruthless charm, I am still who I am; magic is not my everything."

www.cmfu.com发布 Watching the bustling crowd before him, the mage's steps slowed even more. Under his black hood, a pair of sharp eyes observed the surrounding residents. Mages themselves are not the aloof sort who always wear a stern expression, detached from the mortal world. They are humans too; they also need to walk among the crowd and occasionally experience the mundane.

www.cmfu.com发布 However, there's a firm rule among the mages: "Do not disrupt the long-standing sense of mystery and deterrence that mages have among the public." Unlike warriors—who can at least throw a punch in the worst-case scenario—mages have a limited number of spells they can use each day, and once they are expended, simply relying on their frail bodies would never suffice to protect themselves. Therefore, forming a strong and intimidating impression of mages in the populace's minds can deter most people with ideas about confronting mages.

www.cmfu.com发布 Lynch walked through the busiest marketplace but never felt crowded, as the flow of people automatically parted before him, passing around him. No one would attempt to block the mage's path. Lynch left the City Lord Mansion this time to dissipate the loneliness in his heart. Anna had left Moon Harbor City to protect her hometown—even with the impregnable defenses of the Elf Forest, the giants were not easy to resist. Originally, after this gathering, a few people were to set off once more, embarking on a new round of adventures. However, the damned war ruined everything.

www.cmfu.com发布 Lynch saw a small tavern by the roadside, unusually silent compared to his surroundings. He pushed open the door and walked in, finding a table in the corner to sit at.

www.cmfu.com发布 Ordering a glass of fruit wine, Lynch began to recall his past adventures. Seven years ago, he was merely an apprentice who had just mastered the simplest spells, only able to hypnotize others or shoot a purple magic light ball from his fingers. But his mentor, the Great Prophet Caso, insisted he go out and join various adventure parties to practice his magic abilities. Thus, he joined Wislin's team as the weakest mage.
