Chapter 639: Chapter 585: Peculiarity

The survivors of Ice and Snow City had unintentionally intimidated the Beixuan Dark Guard.

The standoff wasn’t broken until Rota emerged with a group of people, a smile on his face as he announced, "All the Mages of the Mage Tower welcome His Majesty the King."

That finally broke the tense atmosphere.

The Beixuan Dark Guard Commander heard an order from the carriage behind him and directed his men to remain on guard at the entrance.

He dismounted and walked to the side of the carriage.

Otz also stepped out from within the carriage.

Otz and the Beixuan Dark Guard Commander entered the Mage Tower’s courtyard alone.

Seeing the nearly one thousand Professionals in the courtyard, Otz remained outwardly calm, but he was utterly astonished.

Although he had already learned of the situation last night, he was still shocked when he saw it for himself.

He was especially taken aback by their aura and presence.

’They feel even more ferocious than the military Professionals under my command who survived the war.’

’They’re just like Evil Ghosts that have crawled out of Hell.’

Every inch of them radiated a baleful, murderous intent.

It was no exaggeration to call Ice and Snow City a living Hell after the catastrophe.

These survivors were indeed like Evil Ghosts that had crawled out of Hell.

’Anyone who could survive must have their own special skill, their own unique trump card.’

’There are no weaklings among them.’

’The weak were weeded out long ago.’

Fortunately, the presence of Mages in their robes diluted the grim atmosphere.

Otherwise, Otz might not have dared to walk in.

Even though he was now a Tier Six Great Swordmaster.

He had no confidence he could escape an attack from nearly a thousand Professionals.

Led by Rota, Otz walked into the Mage Tower.

The walls blocked the gazes of the nearly one thousand Evil Ghost-like Professionals outside, and both Otz and the Beixuan Dark Guard Commander felt a sense of relief.

Walking through that crowd had been immensely stressful.

They had been on edge, not daring to relax for even a moment.

The Mages and Mage Apprentices inside the Mage Tower were also under immense pressure.

However, after interacting with the survivors last night, their stress was slightly less than what Otz was feeling upon seeing them for the first time.

They discovered that although these people looked fierce, they weren’t that difficult to talk to.

At the very least, there was someone who could keep them in line.

Gu Sewei could control the situation. Plus, she herself was a Legendary Mage, and she had the status of a Mage.

Although the Mages in the Mage Tower had their complaints, they could still grudgingly accept the situation.

Otz glanced around and got straight to the point. "Where is the Legendary Mage? I would like to meet with her."

Hearing this, Rota said awkwardly, "Well... Your Majesty, the Legendary Mage is not here. I’m not sure if you’ll be able to see her..."

As he said this, Rota was afraid Otz would get angry.

Otz said, "Then I must ask you, Mage Rota, to please try and arrange an opportunity for me."

Rota was in a difficult position and didn’t know what to say.

He had known all along that the purpose of Otz’s visit was surely to meet Gu Sewei or Li Wei.

So, he had gone to look for Li Wei and Gu Sewei first thing in the morning.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t find them.

Not even the Magic Butler knew where the two of them were.

Rota had gone to the Sixth Floor of the Mage Tower, but there was no sign of them.

He couldn’t contact Li Wei or Gu Sewei at all.

Rota didn’t know what to do.

Just as he was feeling completely at a loss, Gu Ze stepped forward.

Gu Ze bowed and said in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing, "Your Majesty, my sister is not here at the moment. If you have a message for her, you can tell me, and I can pass it along."

Hearing this, Otz looked at Gu Ze in surprise.

"Your sister?"

He quickly realized that the "sister" Gu Ze mentioned was the Legendary Mage he wanted to see.

Looking at Gu Ze’s face, he suddenly felt that the man before him looked somewhat familiar.

Otz asked uncertainly, "Have we met somewhere before?"

Gu Ze smiled and said, "Your Majesty, a person of your stature has many things on their mind. Over twenty years ago, I was also a Mage at the Maple City Mage Tower. My name is Gu Ze."

When Otz heard his name, it all clicked.

"Gu Ze, so it’s you. Li Wei’s teacher."

Hearing this, Gu Ze couldn’t help but smile wryly to himself.

’Everyone who mentions me inevitably connects me to Li Wei.’

’It seems people can only remember my name by associating it with Li Wei.’

’But I suppose I’ll have to add another name to that list soon.’

’In the future, I’ll also be Gu Ze, brother of the Legendary Mage Gu Sewei.’

Gu Ze didn’t really mind, but he would occasionally feel a little disheartened.

Otz noticed the change in Gu Ze’s expression and immediately said, "My apologies. So it is Mage Gu Ze. I haven’t seen you in over twenty years, so I didn’t quite recognize you."

In truth, he had only met Gu Ze a few times.

If it weren’t for Li Wei, Otz would never have remembered the name Gu Ze.

Let alone the man himself.

Now, his impression of Gu Ze was being completely refreshed.

In the past, Gu Ze was the so-called teacher of the genius Mage, Li Wei.

Now, Gu Ze also had a Legendary Mage for a sister.

Gu Ze’s status had instantly become much more distinguished.

Otz also broke into a smile. "If it’s you, Mage Gu Ze, then that’s perfectly fine. I came here today mainly because of the sudden appearance of many Professionals of unknown origin within the city..."

Seeing that Otz was ready to discuss the matter,

Gu Ze invited him into the Mage Tower’s Reception Hall to sit and talk.

Otz’s visit was not just to pay respects and meet the Legendary Mage; he was also concerned about the origins and future of the nearly one thousand Professionals.

The sudden appearance of nearly a thousand unfamiliar Professionals in Maple City was a serious threat. If not managed properly, they could cause immense destruction.
