Gu Family City!

Because the Gu family was the founding minister of the Holy Dragon Empire, and the Gu family city was the hometown of the founder of the Gu family, the city was called the Gu family city. If one looked into its history, the Gu family was an ancient family that was established since the Holy Dragon Empire. All the family heads had the title of hereditary count.

Historically, the Gu family had been the number one clan in the Keshi Province for a period of time, but as time passed, the Gu family gradually declined. It was only in the last few decades that the Gu family had shown signs of rising again, but now, although the Gu family's influence had a certain degree of development, they were still stuck in the Dorker County. After all, the strongest people in the Gu family were only level 9 experts.

However, the Ancient Family City was one of the few large and prosperous towns in the Keshi Province. After all, all the generations of the Gu family operated here. The size of the Gu family city was not any less than the provincial capital of Corsica.

At sunset, Zuo Ye drove the carriage outside Gu Family City.

This was the first time Zuo Ye had seen a city since coming to this world: the tall walls and the wide moat, the arrow towers, the oil pots, the colorful magic barriers, the magic detectors.

The Gu family had managed the Gu family's business for generations, and it had caused the Gu family's defense to reach a terrifying level. In terms of the Gu family's defensive capabilities, there was no other city that was considered as number one in the entire Kao Xi province. That was one of the reasons why the Gu family couldn't defend their territory without a Saint level master. After all, it would take a great price to break the defense of the Gu family.

Zuo Ye drove the carriage to the city gate. When he saw a faint black and yellow light flashing on top of the gate, he knew that the city gate was enchanted with a magic barrier.

There were several carriages lined up in front of the city gate, waiting to enter. After a long while, Zuo Ye finally arrived. The soldier first asked where Zuo Ye came from, then carefully checked the identification of his carriage before asking Zuo Ye to pay the city entrance fee. When the soldier guarding the gate saw Sophie, his eyes lit up. He then began to carry out his duties seriously — the soldiers of Gu family city were of high quality.

Just as Zuo Ye was about to complete his procedures for entering the city, a carriage that was much more luxurious than Zuo Ye's arrived at the city gates at a rapid pace. However, it was stopped by the city guards.

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a blue mage robe with a male staff emerged from the luxurious carriage. The man took out a golden badge and said, ”I'm a mage. I'm in a hurry!”

”So, it turns out to be the esteemed mage,” the leader of the soldiers, who was also an Intermediate Warrior, said respectfully, ”In our Gu Family City, magicians don't have to queue up to enter the city. You only need to register your mage emblem for us.”

With that, the soldier leader personally received the mage's badge, interrupting Zuo Ye's registration process. After registering the mage, he immediately returned it to the mage, and the whole process was completed in less than two minutes. He didn't ask where the mage came from, nor did he check whether or not there were any people in the mage's carriage, and immediately let the mage enter the city.

After that, the leader of the soldiers started to register Zuo Ye, allowing him to enter the city.

Through this scene, Zuo Ye was determined to get a mage emblem. In this world where relatively few mages were present, mages were a very noble existence. With a mage emblem, one could enjoy the benefits of not having to line up in the city or the discount of living in the city. It could be said that having a mage emblem was equivalent to having half of the nobility, and one could enjoy the privilege of having over half of the nobility.

After entering the city, Zuo Ye quickly found an inn and rented two rooms.

This Gu Family City was much more luxurious than the small town of Uganda. Any random inn was much better than the best inn in the town of Uganda. Inside the inn, there were all sorts of magic lamps, tables, chains, and bathrooms.

Zuo Ye and Sophie took a nice bath together before going to bed. Meanwhile, the little black dog was already used to being together with Su Ling'er.

The next day, Su Ling'er got up early to cultivate and learn. Sophie didn't sleep, instead, she woke up very early to bring breakfast to Zuo Ye to eat, then gently poured water to wash Zuo Ye's back. This Su Ling'Er had an extremely good talent for wind magic, and at the age of five she began to practice wind magic and learn wind magic. At the age of seven, she entered Cossi Academy in the Cauchy Province to learn wind magic, and she was considered an apprentice; however, the great change in her family had caused Su Ling'Er to be completely reborn.

After becoming a trainee mage, Su Ling'Er needed to learn a lot more: Every day, besides meditating and listening to Sophie's lecture on texts, common sense, and history, she also needed to practice magic with Blacky.

In the end, when Sophie was holding Zuo Ye's arm and walking out of the room upstairs to the courtyard of the inn, she happened to see Su Ling'er practicing with Blacky: Su Ling'er sent out a wind blade to attack Blacky, and the black dog very agilely avoided Su Ling'er's wind blade. Then, it suddenly scuttled to Su Ling'er's feet, gently nibbling on Su Ling'er's foot before running away and circling around Su Ling'er. After Su Ling'Er cast Wind Blade, she took out a bottle of Magic Replenishing Potion and drank it. After recovering her magic power, she once again cast Wind Blade. Su Ling'Er's magic power wasn't much, so Zuo Ye bought her a Magic Potion.

And this kind of practice would have a good effect on Su Ling'er's magic accuracy and speed.

”Yes.” ”Little friend, the speed at which you release your wind blades has already reached the basic standard for a novice mage, but you still need to work hard to increase this distance. The wind blades you release will disappear after reaching five meters, which requires you to gather more spiritual energy in order to increase it.” A voice transmitted to Su Ling'Er's ears while she was training with the little black dog.

Su Ling'er turned her head and saw that it was the blue-clothed mage she met at the city gate yesterday.

Zuo Ye and Sophie slowly walked to Su Ling'er's side.

”Hehe!” ”Thank you very much for your guidance, sir,” Zuo Ye said to the blue-clothed middle-aged mage.

”You're welcome,” the blue-clothed mage said, ”I couldn't help but to say this because I saw that this little child's talent is not bad, and he is also very hardworking. It's a pity that I cultivate water magic. If I had cultivated wind magic, I would definitely have accepted her as my disciple. I think you must be dressed like a warrior! ”
