Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 478 - 380: The Kleptomaniac Mage God

To Zhao Yi’s surprise, the location of the Pegasus Grassland was actually in the same direction as the familiar divine sense that Xu Yue’Er had pointed out before.

Hertz asked Zhao Yi, "Teacher, should we go to the Pegasus Grassland first, or go see your friend?"

Zhao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Since they’re all along the same line, there’s no need to make a special trip. Let’s just move forward and see where we end up first."

Hertz agreed, and with a gentle wave of his magic staff, a green barrier enveloped Zhao Yi and Xu Yue’Er.

Seeing Zhao Yi’s curiosity, Hertz quickly explained, "Teacher, this is a wood shielding spell. As long as you and your battle pet are within the shielding spell, the Eye of Boundary will perceive you as a tree, and won’t attract the attention of the Archmage."

Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow and said in surprise, "You’ve even specifically researched shielding spells, are you deliberately targeting the Archmage?"

Hertz did not hide it and nodded, "Because with the Eye of Boundary’s presence, everything in the Magic World is almost transparent to the Archmage; no mage has any privacy to speak of!"

"If those Archmages were just peeping into mages’ daily lives, it’d be one thing, but they’re actually stealing the treasures of mages!"

"Some mages, well-versed in alchemy, have painstakingly created magic items, and before they can even announce them, they’ve been stolen by the Archmages!"

"So, we developed this shielding magic! Nowadays, almost all mage households in the Magic World have a shielding array."

"When going out, if there’s something important to discuss, a shielding spell will be set up around to prevent the Archmages from eavesdropping!"

Zhao Yi and Xu Yue’Er listened in shock.

Xu Yue’Er said incredulously, "Aren’t the Archmages the most supreme beings in your Magic World? How could they steal things?"

Xu Yue’Er tried to equate the Emperor of Great Xia with the Archmages in the Magic World.

She couldn’t imagine the Emperor of Great Xia eavesdropping on ministers or stealing their treasures.

If this got out, the entire royal family would lose face.

The emperor’s throne might not even be secure!

But in the Magic World, Archmages peeping on mages and stealing their things seems to have become common knowledge.

Xu Yue’Er was completely bewildered.

A dignified Archmage, have they no shame?

Hertz, hearing Xu Yue’Er’s words and seeing Zhao Yi’s disbelief, shook his head helplessly, "You could consider these things as a racial trait!"

"From birth, these beings live by stealing, not only not ashamed of it but proud of it."

"In fact, the Archmages’ authority itself was stolen from the Creator!"

"They’ve become addicted to stealing; even as high and mighty Archmages, they can’t change the wicked traits ingrained in their nature and bloodline!"

For some reason, hearing Hertz’s evaluation, Zhao Yi suddenly thought of certain people in his memories.

The most coincidental part was that the Western fantasy Magic World was written with those people as background.

It seems that those despicable races, wherever they go, cannot shake off their habits of eavesdropping, robbing, and stealing.

Perhaps, as Hertz said,

It is a racial trait, impossible to change!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi nodded seriously, "I agree with you; some people are indeed inherently despicable and must be guarded against."

Hertz, seeing Zhao Yi endorsing his views, was overjoyed, "Teacher, you’re the wisest person I’ve ever met. Since you said so, our views and opinions over these years must be correct!"

After speaking, Hertz didn’t forget to flatter Zhao Yi.

He complimented, "Teacher, you are so knowledgeable and kind. I believe your race must be the finest in all worlds! I hope to have a chance to visit the Cultivation World in the future. I’m so curious about a world that could produce a sage like you!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Zhao Yi burst into laughter, "What you said is true; we people of Great Xia are indeed the smartest in all the Plane Worlds! After the Nether Tree crisis is resolved, you can visit the Cultivation World; even settling there isn’t an issue! The Cultivation World is an inclusive world, welcoming guests from the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds!"

Hertz was overjoyed and earnestly said, "It’s a deal! If I have the opportunity in the future, I’ll definitely visit the Cultivation World!"

At this moment, Xu Yue’Er felt just as bewildered as Zhao Yi was before, unable to understand the thought process of these foreign races.

Among the things Zhao Yi said earlier, wasn’t the most crucial piece of information the Nether Tree crisis?

Yet this elder mage didn’t hear a word about matters concerning life and death, only about visiting the Cultivation World.

The Cultivation World is currently empty, with not a soul in sight. What can he do there as a guest, help absorb the pervasive stench enveloping the Cultivation World?

Hmm?

Xu Yue’Er had a sudden thought and felt as if she’d grasped Zhao Yi’s scheme.

If not for external influence, the permeating stench in the Cultivation World could take ten years or more to purify.

But if beings from the Spirit Realm and Three Thousand Small Worlds visit the Cultivation World, it’d be different.

If each of these beings breathes it in, all the stench could quickly be absorbed clean.

Xu Yue’Er was astounded and admired Zhao Yi’s strategy immensely.

"Is he truly a genius?"

Zhao Yi was unaware of Xu Yue’Er’s inner thoughts.

Taking advantage of the journey to the Pegasus Grassland, Zhao Yi began asking Hertz for advice on magic cultivation experience.

This was Zhao Yi’s preparation for becoming a formal mage after a successful surgery.

Though Hertz was dull in other aspects, when it came to magic, he transformed, speaking ceaselessly.

Most importantly, not only was his theoretical knowledge ample, but he could also easily perform all sorts of small magic.

Along the way, Hertz explained over a hundred different wood magic functions to Zhao Yi, and when particularly excited, he’d have Xu Yue’Er temporarily stop and find a forest by the roadside to experiment.

Zhao Yi watched the performances all the way, gaining new insights into magic and growing more eager to become a formal mage.

One day, after his usual magic explanation, Hertz suddenly thought of something and mentioned, "Teacher, if the unicorn horn doesn’t help you sense magic elements, the Dragon Race’s horn can actually be used."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yue’Er shuddered involuntarily.

She was about to explain, but then Hertz continued, "I’m not talking about the lizard at your feet, but the winged, naturally max-level magic-sensitive Magic Dragon Race! The Dragon Race comes with Dragon Language Magic, their talent far surpasses that of unicorns, let alone these lizards!"

Xu Yue’Er immediately became even angrier!

Being called a lizard was one thing, but to say she wasn’t even as good as those lizards!

How intolerable!
