Chapter 65: The Three Elber Brothers (2)
"Oh, doesn't anyone know?" asked Faraz curiously.
Harry nodded and said in a very affirmative tone, "Yes, no one. For all who had seen his power were dead. β
"Huh?" everyone was taken aback when they heard Harry's explanation, and Faras asked, "How so?"
This Mayne is usually very low-key, and he is rarely heard of him showing up outside, but once he makes up his mind to challenge someone, he will inevitably have a life-and-death battle. I don't know if his luck is good or his strength is really strong, over the years, this Mayne magician has experienced dozens of life-and-death battles, large and small, but it is his opponent who has died. β
"What's that, we have a lot of opponents in Lane, and now he is not good. Faraz said unconvinced: "Maybe he deliberately found someone who is not as strong as himself to challenge, then it will be very difficult to lose."
"Maybe. Harry said with a wry smile: "A few years ago, there were good people in Mochizuki City who made a gimmick of the top ten magic rookies, and sorted the magicians in Mochizuki City who were under the age of 30, whose strength had improved rapidly in recent years, and who still had great potential in the future, and finally got a list that most people recognized. β
"Ryan, the Herman you defeated today is ninth, and the tenth is Klaus. Harry said, "Mayne is in first place, and the person who wrote the list also added a few words, which probably means that his potential is limitless, and maybe he will be the next person in Mochizuki City to be promoted to a magister." β
"As soon as this top ten rookie came out, it naturally caused a lot of dissatisfaction, and some people wanted to use this thing to become famous, and their 10 people encountered challenges from others, and some people lost their seats because they lost to the challengers, but this No. 1 Mayne has always occupied the front position. β
"So he's strong?" Flanner interjected, "Can't the challengers beat him?"
"That's one reason, but it's not the most important one. Harry said, "There is another reason, and the most important one, is that Mayne is a personal pupil of Master Blair. This Mayne is a descendant of a hereditary nobleman in Mochizuki City, and I don't know if it was because of his family or his own luck, he was actually accepted by Master Blair to study. Master Blair taught many students in his life, but he said three times in public that only Mayne could reach his level in the future, and that perhaps Mayne would surpass him at the age of 40. β
Faraz's expression froze, of course she knew how strong Master Blair was in Mochizuki City, not to mention anything else, it was enough to be able to become Victor's opponent. And the archmagister openly praised one of his students, and also gave him a very high evaluation, it seems that this Mayne-Elber really has a little strength.
Harry said with a solemn face, "I guess the reason why Mayne challenged you today is probably because his third brother was severely taught by you." Harry said, "When Thor's Fortress was in the beginning, our Imperial Capital Academy of Magic didn't make a big deal of it, after all, the other party came to study with us, and it was not good for both parties if they got into trouble. β
"That Klaus has always relied on his big brother as a backing to cause trouble everywhere, in fact, if he didn't have such a powerful big brother, he wouldn't have become the tenth place. Harry said, "This Mayne is a total of three brothers, Mayne is the eldest, and now he has become the youngest high-level magician in the Mochizuki City Magic Guild, and this may not be the upper limit of his strength, because he has challenged a high-level magician of the same level, and defeated the opponent relatively easily." If Blair hadn't come forward for him that time, the Magic Guild would probably have punished him, after all, he directly killed a high-level magician. β
"The second of the three brothers was named Maher, Maher-Elber. This person is a rare high-level warrior in the capital of magic, he has not studied magic, but he is very interested in martial arts, once killed a level 7 demonic beast poisonous scorpion lion beast alone, I heard that the inconspicuous gray-brown armor he is wearing now is made of the skin of that poisonous scorpion lion beast. β
"As for the third Klaus, he's just a gentleman, you don't need to pay too much attention to him, and besides, Ryan, didn't you teach him a lesson in Thor's Fortress, the five of them singled out one of you, haha. Harry smiled at this, then changed the subject, and said to Ryan earnestly, "But you beat Klaus, with Mayne's short-looking character, he will definitely retaliate against you, I didn't expect it to come so quickly." Ryan, you shouldn't have come here so early, it's not that I underestimate you, you're not even 20 years old, are you? You're a full 10 years younger than Mayne, so you don't have a full 10 years of hard work. I've seen your fights at AtlΓ©tico Royale, and I think that with time, no, maybe 3 years at most, you'll be able to catch up with this so-called magic rookie, but right now, you're not his opponent. β
"Not necessarily. Faras was very unconvinced, she wanted to tell all the deeds of Lane, but after seeing Lane's eyes, Faras obediently closed her mouth and sat aside.
Ryan smiled at Harry, who didn't seem to be affected by Harry's pessimistic thoughts, and said, "After all, this life-and-death fight will have to wait for 3 days. We're all here for the first time, so why don't you tell me more about this Mayne, I'm curious about him right now, haha. β
"Okay, but after I'm done, you might as well think about how to get out of here. Harry saw that Ryan didn't take his words to heart, so he had to say helplessly: "Ryan, listen to my advice, maybe you are very strong, but Mayne's strength is not weak, your current strength is on the rise, as long as you wait a few more years, you can win steadily, there is no need to fight with him at this critical time." β
Ryan nodded at Harry to thank him for his concern for him, but in Ryan's opinion, he has always wanted to find an evenly matched opponent, because if he wants to greatly increase his strength, in addition to non-stop practice, he also has to fight, and only after experiencing the kind of battle where life and death are tied to the first line, can he gain and grow, and this magician named Mayne is just using him to make a name for himself and shock Mochizuki City.
The only thing that Ryan is a little worried about now is that once he defeats his opponent, then Mayne's teacher Blair will not help him, but if he is defeated, he may not attract the attention of the other party, maybe even the six-person council will despise him, for the sake of the future, only by winning, only victory can really make the entire Mochizuki City understand the power of the imperial capital, and only then can they be restrained, which has countless benefits to the overall situation of the imperial capital.
Of course, Ryan will not be arrogant and think that he will win easily, but this kind of battle is something he dreams of, and Ryan has not really fought with a high-level magician since he left his hometown, and his magic power is also different from other magicians, which also makes Ryan have a question in his heart, does the magic he has worked so hard to practice have any effect in front of high-level magicians?
Seeing Ryan fall into deep thought, Harry consciously closed his mouth, everyone knew that Ryan must be thinking about the battle, and they didn't want to disturb him, so they all quietly got up and left, and soon, he was the only one left in Ryan's room.
"What I can rely on now is nothing more than a super amount of low-level magic, and this method of combat in the AtlΓ©tico Royale tournament also exposes enough weaknesses that as long as the opponent releases a magic similar to Void Protection, I can't do anything about it. Although my strength has grown a lot in the past year, I am not confident enough to guarantee that I will be able to defeat the magician named Mayne, who is indeed very strong. β
"Maybe the opponent is just an arrogant guy, maybe the opponent likes to hide as much as I do, who knows? It is said that this Mayne has also challenged a high-level magician, and he killed the opponent relatively easily, which shows that his strength is also the top existence among high-level magicians, maybe he can already be promoted to a magister, but he has a similar idea to me, and he doesn't want to be too ostentatious to stay at the level of a high-level magician." β
"I'm also very excited to meet such an opponent, who can win between me and him, I'm afraid it will only be clear after the fight, it seems that it will be difficult for me to save my strength in that fight in three days' time, and I must go all out. Hey, do you give it your all in front of such a person? I'm not used to it. β
Thinking of this, Ryan suddenly burst into laughter, and he said self-deprecatingly: "It seems that I am also about to become a proud and arrogant guy, and now that the enemy is present, even if I go all out, I may not be able to win, but it is ridiculous that I am still thinking about how to preserve my strength." I think I'd better use these few days to meditate, adjust my body to the best position possible, and then devote myself to the battle in three days' time. I want everyone to know that commoners can learn magic and defeat these noble magicians with innate advantages. β
For three whole days, Ryan was almost in his room, and it was the first time in his life that he attached so much importance to a fight, even on the eve of the battle against the Royal Knight Squad at the Royal Athletic Tournament, he had only carefully studied the opponent's information, and he was by no means as fully engaged as he was now.
Mental, physical, mental...... Everything was adjusted to the best condition, and now Ryan had only one thought on his mind, and that was to defeat Mayne.
Time passed in a flash, and before I knew it, three days had passed, and after dinner, Ryan casually leaned back on the bed and whispered a small tune from his hometown. There was a "creak" at the door, but it was Faras who walked in.
In order not to affect Ryan's preparations, Faras didn't even dare to leave his room for the past three days, and now on the night of the last day, Faras couldn't bear the thought that Ryan would have to fight with others tomorrow, and slipped into Ryan's room shortly after dinner.
