201 An Unexpected Surprise (1/2)

Tobian was a genius among mages, both in his own eyes and those of the people around him.

When he was a teenager, he grew to a meter and a half at the mere age of fifteen. Because of his strong body, his father considered him to be a good candidate for a warrior and wanted to send him to the Guild of Warriors to be trained strictly.

However, Tobian didn't go, being shrewish and making a scene and saying that he was going to be a Mage.

This was nonsense… What was the image of a Mage?

Not a strong but well-proportioned looking body, a refined manner, and eyes filled with intelligence.

Tobian was herculean, his thighs larger than the head of a child at his age—why be a damn Mage!

However, his father spoiled him, and when he saw how determined Tobian was to become a Mage, his father let him be a magic apprentice for a few years, assuming that he wouldn't make any progress and then come back crying and begging to become a Warrior.

It turned out… Tobian really had the talent for being a Mage.

Where others studied for at least three years to learn a level-zero trick, he could do it in half a year.

And as he grew older, he learned magic faster and faster.

He was the youngest of the six great Archmages in the capital right now.

This was a testament to his abilities and talent.

Because of such solid experience and achievements, Tobian never doubted his talent and gifts, and even if he wasn't the world's most talented Mage, he was at least one of those at the top of the pyramid.

But what was with the young man in front of him…

The young man was obviously only at the Elite level, but that volume of magic power was only one step away from his own.

He himself had two types of magic equipment equipped that boosted his magic capacity, a ring and a necklace.

If he took off these two types of equipment, his own magic power might be a little worse than this young man's.

Thinking of this, Tobian felt a little out of sorts.

He sized up Roland for a moment and asked, ”You're the chairman of Delpon. I remember that it was a coward who served there originally. I think his name was something like Arminto.”

”Aldo.” Roland walked in and said with a smile, ”It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Tobian.”

As he said this, Roland took out a basket of fruit from his Backpack and placed it on the table.

”I couldn't prepare properly for such a rash visit, so I could only bring some fruit up here.”

It was a custom of the Chinese people to bring some fruit with them when they visited someone's home.

The kingdom of Hollevin actually had a similar custom, and of course, friends didn't need to bring anything of value over, so they either brought some flowers or some fruits just to show courtesy.

Tobian looked at the fruits in the basket, then gestured to invite Roland to sit down and asked, ”Sir, what is your reason for coming here?”

His attitude was nonchalant.

Roland didn't find this strange. He placed the spell model he had already prepared in front of Tobian and said, ”Your Excellency, Mr. Tobian, I encountered a few minor problems while learning Teleportation. This point, and this one, why is the magic power not so smooth connecting to these points? I hear you have some knowledge of spatial magic, so I wanted to ask you for advice.”

Tobian glanced briefly at the spell model and said, ”Why should I teach you? I didn't even know you.”

Roland nodded and said with a smile, ”Indeed, my visit was a bit impertinent, so I prepared something as a gift.”

As he spoke, he took a magic staff out of his Backpack and placed it on the table.

Tobian didn't rush to look at the magic staff on the tabletop, but stared at Roland and said, ”It was the same just now, there were no spatial magic fluctuations when you took out something—how did you get the things out of a spatial Backpack?.”
