Arcane Hermit Order (2)

) Bosque Duchy, Strasbourg.

A door suddenly appeared in a corner of the city wall, but it was invisible to the naked eye.

This is the "Trafalano Mansion Spell, an incredibly sophisticated Seventh-Circle Spell. This door leads to a luxurious mansion in Alternate Dimension and will remain there for the duration of the spell.

Organizers of Arcane Hermit Order in different regions, as long as they are authorized by this legendary mage, can obtain the "Sage's Ring" and cast this spell periodically to organize their Arcane Hermit Order.

"Is this the place...?"

Soon, a man wearing a medal on his chest and dressed in a long robe appeared here. As the magical light from the medal flickered slightly, he entered directly through the door that had not existed and disappeared.

Following that, more people entered one after another. They were men and women, mostly dressed in luxurious robes, their bodies shimmering with magical light, revealing their identities as spellcasters.

Inside the door, on a luxurious red carpet, constructs resembling human women but moving with mechanical movements were asking questions and taking notes.

"Please choose a name as your code name within the Arcane Hermit Order."

A tall, noblewoman pondered for a moment before saying, "Hmm... let's call it Tulip."

"Welcome to the Arcane Hermit Order, Tulip."

"Those Seeker of Knowledge."

"Welcome to the Arcane Hermit Order, Seeker of Knowledge."

"Gray Hair".

"Blue eyes."

"Elven Song".

In just a short while, more than thirty people had gathered here. Most of them were Human Noble, but there were also Elf or Half-elf with pointed ears, and some even had elemental bloodlines.

"Anzeta has so many spellcasters?"

"It's unbelievable."

"As expected of a legendary mage, this mansion spell is simply a work of art..."

"Incredible."

"Where are the organizers of this Arcane Hermit Order?"

"I don't know, me too..."

"This should be it."

A Dimensional Door appeared beside the city wall, Keosius and Lang Pu, disguised Iron Golem, entered it one after the other.

As soon as Keosius entered, his handsome face with black hair and golden eyes, as well as the extraordinary charm he exuded, attracted the attention of many people, especially women.

The noblewoman codenamed "Tulip" couldn't help but say to her companion:

"This guy is really charming. Maybe only someone like him is good enough for me, instead of those good-for-nothings."

"Moreover... this is an even nobler bloodline."

"It's a pleasure to meet you."

She took the initiative to strike up a conversation and made a gesture of respect by lifting her skirt, to which Keosius responded with a polite smile.

Good day, beautiful lady.

A monk behind them couldn't help but mutter:

"It's those Sorcerer again, the guys who can charm the Weave with their charisma, the Barbarian among spellcasters."

"Yes, they will never understand magic, and they will never figure out how the Weave works."

"They only know how to misinterpret and manipulate things like children."

Some people also became curious about Lang Pu behind Keosius.

Who were the entourage behind him?

"It should be... the Iron Golem."

"The Iron Golem?"

"I've heard that these things exist in the Imperial Palace of the Southern Fadlan Empire. They are meticulously crafted from heavy metals and fused together with a rare tincture and mixture, making them indestructible."

"A golem of this size must have cost a fortune."

"Tsk tsk, what an enviable guy."

Tulip, feeling rather displeased by the gossip, deliberately said, "I believe that someone of your status wouldn't care about such jealous words."

Keosius simply smiled and said, "Getting used to the envy of others is a required course for every gifted person."

"You're right, Miss Tulip."

He could easily tell that this noblewoman was also Sorcerer, but her strength was low, only level 2 as shown on the panel, and she probably only knew some simple tricks.

"Certainly."

The noblewoman smiled broadly, clearly quite pleased.

However, perhaps because Anzeta is located in a remote and impoverished northern region with a sparse and weak population, Keosius looked around but did not find a single high-level professional; most of the people he found were noble children who knew a little magic.

The strongest among them was a man codenamed "Black Hawk," whose mage Class Level was only 8 on the panel, roughly equivalent to Lang Pu's current level.

"You haven't registered your code yet, have you? I'll take you there."

"Okay, thank you."

The noblewoman led Keosius to the front of the hall.

The construct that resembled a human asked, as usual, "Please choose a name as your code name in the Arcane Hermit Order."

Keosius pondered for a moment.

"Let's call it ' Embers '."

"Embers, welcome to the Arcane Hermit Order." The voice of the transformed creature was icy cold.

It is said to be a small toy made by Trafalano in his youth, named "Steel Beauty" because of its resemblance to a human female and its stiff, mechanical movements.

There was still room for improvement, but the Legendary Archmage had already gotten used to it, so he finalized the blueprints.

Although it was made casually, it still has a device that can release Fourth Circle Spell, making it a rare and precious item.

Inside the spacious and luxuriously decorated hall was a huge round table, around which the attendees sat.

The top features an exquisite dome, on which murals depict many great arcane wonders, leaving everyone in awe.

"Now that everyone is here..."

"Then let the gathering begin."

"I am the organizer of this Arcane Hermit Order, you may call me ' Star.'"

A clear and melodious voice came from behind.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice—it was a young woman who looked to be in her early twenties.

Her fitted long dress accentuated her beautiful figure, and the surface of her robe was embroidered with shimmering scales, as if she were surrounded by stardust.

Her long, silver-white hair cascaded down her shoulders, and beneath her long, slightly curled eyelashes were a pair of clear, bright blue-gray eyes. Her gaze was full of kindness, yet also subtly revealed a hint of arrogance.

While everyone was marveling at his appearance, Keosius fell into deep thought.

"It was her..."

"Olivia, the ' Silver Star,' a Young Silver Dragon mage, I never expected her to be one of the organizers of the Arcane Hermit Order."

This is a very famous figure. Her clan, the Silver Dragon Clan "Mellward," was an important force in the fight against the Demon Calamity in Anzeta in later generations.

It is said that there is a Silver Dragon Elder among them who has reached the Ancient Dragon stage, but he has been in slumber for many years and does not concern himself with worldly affairs.

[Silver Star - Olivia (Human Form)]

Class Level: 11 Mage "An eleventh-level mage, huh...?"

This rank may not seem high, but it's already a kingdom-level master, capable of casting Sixth-Circle Spell. This is the upper limit for most players.

In remote magical deserts like Anzeta, an eleventh-level mage can even be respectfully addressed as an "Archmage".
