Chapter 54: The Guild Masters Offer (1/2)

”Please explain to me first why you want me to be an elite member of the Mage Guild? I'm just a Beginner Mage.”

Lawrend asked the guild master seriously. He didn't think that he would get it for free.

”You are similar to Grand Mage Bask Light. He also had a greater mana purity than he should have. If you didn't know, a Grand Mage is above the Arch Mage. Meaning, he was someone that could hold the roof of a kingdom.”

The guild master explained to Lawrend. He was expecting that Lawrend would also become a Grand Mage just like Bask Light so he was willing to offer him benefits.

”In other words, you want my loyalty?”

Lawrend could guess what his words implied. If he accepted these benefits now, he couldn't ignore the orders of the Mage Guild anymore. For Lawrend, that was something that would go against his plans for the future.

”Yes. This makes things easier now that you said it. Though, you don't have to worry. The Mage Guild will not order you around like a dog. We only want your help if the time comes that the Mage Guild is in trouble.”

The guild master grinned after hearing Lawrend's words. He eased Lawrend's worries by informing him that what he would do once he accepted his offer was really simple.

”That's… a really good offer.”

Lawrend couldn't say no after hearing such a good offer. There was no way that the Mage Guild would ever get in trouble. It was a Guild that covers the whole continent after all. He would basically be getting the benefits for free.

”What do you say?”

The guild master rested his arms on the desk and moved his face closer to Lawrend's.

”I agree.”

Lawrend nodded his head without any suspense. He was sure that he was the one winning here.

”Great! By the way, your response was recorded using this Seeking Crystal Ball.”

The guild master tapped the crystal ball that was sitting on the desk this whole time. It was capable of recording the motions in a 3d space around it.

”I understand.”

Lawrend nodded his head. This was a way for the Guild Master to make sure that Lawrend would follow through with the deal. Otherwise, he would have evidence to use against him in the future.

”Here's your Mage Guild pin. If you want, we have uniforms that you can wear.”

The guild master passed Lawrend a pin. It was similar to the one the receptionist from earlier was wearing, but there were some key differences. First, this pin was blue in color, while the pin the receptionist was wearing was white. Second, there was a star diagram at the center of the magic circle.

”That pin will tell others that you are an Elite Member of the guild. It also includes what mage you are. For example, that magic circle on your pin has 8 sides. One side of it was highlighted. That tells you that you are a Beginner Mage. As for me, look at it.”

The guild master explained to Lawrend in detail. He pulled out the pin on his cloak and showed it to Lawrend with a smug smile on his face.

”4! You're an Arch Mage!”

Lawrend exclaimed in shock. There were 4 sides highlighted on his pin. This man in front of him is a true bigshot. His power could easily destroy this city with a single spell.

”Hehe, cool, right? Aim for at least something like this.”

The guild master smiled at Lawrend. Lawrend was aware that there was a Beginner Mage, Mage/True Mage, High Mage, Arch Mage, and lastly, Grand Mage. Their powers are much greater than the ones before them and they could tyrannize very easily.

For example, just a single Grand Mage could decimate a whole kingdom. They were the true powerhouses that rule the kingdoms.
