Looking at so many high-level mages, the first thing Nian Bing did was to carefully conceal his Origin of Fire and Ice magic power, especially the aura of his Fire magic power. With so many high-level mages around, it wasn't just about escaping - he feared that the slightest disturbance might lead to a relentless attack. Hearing the Fire mage speaking, he stepped forward and respectfully said, "Nian Bing pays his respects to the elders."
The previously speaking Fire mage seemed very candid, laughed, and said, "Don't call us elders. In learning, there is no command of seniority, the one who attains is worshiped. When I was about your age, it seemed that I had just entered the realm of Intermediate Mage not long ago and even that was considered very quick. Welcome to join our Bing Yue Empire Mage's Guild."
At this point, the three Great Archmages, being of inferior rank, had already stepped aside. In front of the Magic Instructors, the Great Archmages could only submit.
Another Magic Instructor had a golden snowflake emblem on his chest, making it very clear that he was an Ice Mage. He was not as easy-going as the Fire Mage. He snorted coldly, his body exuding a cold aura.
Li Duo walked to the two Magic Instructors and turning to Nian Bing said, "Guild rules stipulate that for new members joining the guild, at least one elder with a Magus Realm must conduct the ceremony. If the joiner only has strength below Intermediate Mage, a Great Archmage can also conduct the ceremony. Your strength has already reached the Great Archmage Realm, so, today I have invited two other guild elders to conduct the ceremony for you. It is a pity that the Guild leader is out on business, otherwise it would be more appropriate for him to conduct the ceremony for you. Please come forward and stand in the center of the hexagram." Li De pointed to the ground.
Nian Bing agreed and walked to the center of the three Magic Instructors, standing in the center of the golden hexagram. A faint smile appeared on Li De's face as he said, " I, Water Mage Li De. On behalf of the Bing Yue Empire Mage's Guild, I formally conduct this ceremony. Under the witness of the great elemental gods, Nian Bing will become a Great Archmage of the guild, proud of the honor and glory of the guild and will dedicate his life's power to the guild. Nian Bing, I ask you, are you willing to give everything to the guild?"
"I am willing." Nian Bing answered without any hesitation, this 'everything' was too vague, but the binding force was extremely strong. Wasn't joining this Mage Guild equivalent to entering a huge cage? Although Nian Bing verbally agreed, he added two words in his heart, which together meant, "I'm willing - my ass."
Li De gave a slight smile and nodded to a Great Archmage on the side. The Archmage's robe was quite strange, being silver in color. He stepped forward, recited a few words under his breath, and with a flash of silver light, a pale blue mage robe materialized in his hands, a symbol of an Ice Mage. Although Ice magic and Water magic originated from the same source, the color of the Ice mage robe was lighter than that of Water mage robe. Seeing the appearance of the mage robe, Nian Bing thought to himself, Is this the so-called space magic? In the world of magic, based on the four elements of Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind, specialized magic like Ice and Thunder further developed, while spatial magic, light magic, and dark magic are extremely rare. On the continent, the most common is spatial magic, while in the legends, light and dark magic seem to have been lost. However, Rong Tian once told Nian Bing that these two types of magic had not been lost, but only those with special bodies could master them. Looking at the energy, although light and darkness are not stronger than other magic, they are more difficult to deal with because of their uniqueness. A spatial-based mage will be a great asset in the future, and it will be nice if he can learn spatial magic himself. It's said that spatial mages can use a unique spatial magic to store their own things, which is very convenient for retrieval. If he can master this kind of magic, he no longer needs to carry so many things, he can even buy more spices to carry with him for later use.
Li De, of course, couldn't possibly know that Nian Bing was thinking of using space magic to carry seasonings. Taking the mage robe from the hands of the space-based mage, he moved to Nian Bing, saying, "The Elemental Gods will bless you, child. By wearing this mage robe, you will become a part of our guild. We are all your family and friends."
Looking at Li De's sincere gaze, Nian Bing was a bit puzzled, but he didn't stay puzzled for long. He took the mage robe from Li De and put it on. It fit perfectly, clearly custom-made for his body shape. The faint blue mage robe felt very good, obviously made of special material. The entire robe exuded a faint magical aura. Although it wasn't powerful, it was beneficial for him to absorb the ice element. Inside the collar of the robe was a moon symbol embroidered with silver thread. The base of the moon symbol was a white ice flower, the symbol of Bing Yue Empire.
Looking at the three circles of silver thread around the ice flower on his chest, Nian Bing thought silently, 'Dad, Mom, can you see? Your son is now an Archmage, a Dual Attribute Archmage! Wait for me, I will visit the Ice God Tower again before long.
Li De watched as Nian Bing put on the Archmage robe, praises hidden in his heart. The already handsome Nian Bing looked even more charming in the luxurious robe. His bright and starry eyes were indeed appealing. Li De smiled slightly and said, "As the saying goes, clothes make the man. Now that you have put on the mage robe, you truly have become a mage of Bing Yue Empire."
Nian Bing respectfully saluted the three mages, "Thank you all for your help."
Li De again nodded to the space-based mage. A flash of silver light appeared, revealing a carefully crafted magic wand and a silver badge. The badge had the symbol of Bing Yue Empire, and in the center of the silver ice flower was a transparent gemstone, exuding faint magical fluctuations. The magic wand was only a foot long, with a blue handle and a milky white gemstone at the top, emanating a faint frosty aura. Though it didn't rival the Ice-Snow Goddess Stone, it was nonetheless a rare top-quality gemstone.
Li De first handed the hexagonal badge to Nian Bing, "This is the symbol of our mages in Bing Yue Empire. With your status as an Archmage, you are equivalent to a commander in the army. With this badge, you can command any soldiers less than a thousand in number to fight for you in any of the nine major cities of Bing Yue Empire. Also, with this badge, you can receive your salary from any branch of our guild. Salary varies according to rank. With your current level, you can receive twenty purple gold coins per month. This badge carries a special mark left by the guild and is impossible to counterfeit. Hence, you must keep it safe. If lost, report it to the main guild immediately, and we will cancel the efficacy of the lost badge based on the mark."
Twenty purple gold coins, equivalent to two hundred gold coins! Along with the power bestowed by the badge, it was truly a treasure! Beneath the lifelong obligation laid equivalently lifelong power. No wonder his father had once said that joining the Mage's Guild was the dream of every ordinary mage. With this, his future travels on the continent would be much easier. After thanking Li De, Nian Bing carefully put the badge in his pocket.
At this point, Li De picked up the magic wand and smiled, "This magic wand is named Frost. Normally, the guild wouldn't give such a precious wand to someone at your level. However, after discussing with the Guild Master, seeing that you are the youngest Archmage with infinite potential, he decided to give you this wand, which should have been awarded to an Ice Mage at Magus level. With it, you can chant spells one third faster. Also, when condensing magic power, the Ice Element will be more obedient to you. Take care of it, as it is a gold-level magical instrument."
"Gold-level? Mage Li De, what does gold-level mean?" Nian Bing asked, puzzled. He wasn't sure how the levels of magical items were distinguished.
