Chapter 109: Great Magician Mebucha Huntington
Andre, who was being thought of by Jiang You at this time, finally managed to seize the opportunity to chat with the great magician Mebucha Huntington and brought him to the small garden behind the palace auditorium.
Mebcha Huntington was not only the king's younger brother, but also a foremost among the nation's great magicians. He might not be the most gifted in every area, but in terms of overall strength, he was number one. Those with greater magical powers were younger than him, those with greater knowledge were not as high-ranking as him, and those with higher status were not as skilled in magic...
People say that if he were a little older, he would have a chance to compete for the next Supreme Sorcerer.
In this magical world, magicians are divided into different levels: Apprentice Magician - Magician - Grand Magician - Supreme Magician, with Apprentice Magician and Magician being the most numerous.
As the name suggests, magic apprentices are people who have just started learning magic. They can use some daily magic, but have not undergone systematic learning, let alone obtained a diploma. People like Mi You, Naxia, and Takumi You, who has an affinity for magic but only has a superficial understanding of it, can only be considered magic apprentices.
A magician, on the other hand, has already studied magic and earned a diploma. They have a deep understanding of magic and are proficient in most low-level spells, more than half of intermediate spells, and at least five types of advanced spells. According to Takumi, any university student who has earned a basic diploma at the Royal Magic Academy can be called a magician. These students can then choose to join a high-level magic instructor and continue their studies under his guidance, becoming graduate students and doctoral students in the magic world.
The Great Magician is already at the level of a master, a realm that is extremely rare. There are only seven of them in the entire country. They each have achievements in a certain field and have gained widespread recognition from the people.
As for the Grand Mage, this is the highest realm that all Grand Mages strive for. There are only three Grand Mages in the world, and they are only added every few hundred years for various reasons. Simply becoming a candidate requires meeting a variety of stringent requirements, and breaking through the ranks is even more difficult.
Mebucha Huntington, who is in his forties, is just a young man among a group of old men with an average age of 300 years old. He does not meet the rigid requirements of competing candidates for the time being, but many people believe that he already has the strength comparable to the Supreme Sorcerer.
Andre did have some prejudice against the great magician, because the relationship between King Mebri and the great magician Mebucha was so good that they were inseparable. The great magician also made an indelible contribution to His Majesty the King's ascension to the throne.
Andrei didn't quite believe that the Great Magician Mebucha was colluding with Evil Eye Moon to overthrow his brother's regime. After all, if he wanted to take action, Mebucha would have had plenty of opportunities to attack the King directly, without having to go through such a long and arduous route.
However, the investigation must be carried out, and as long as there is a hint of suspicion, it must be pursued to the end. This is the rule of the Kingdom Knights in handling cases.
"Tell me, Andre, what's the matter that you're looking for me today?" Mebucha held a plate of small cakes, gracefully cut off a small piece with the side of a fork, put it into his mouth, and immediately revealed an expression of enjoyment and satisfaction.
This great magician originally resembled His Majesty the King in his youth, but after His Majesty the King worked hard to build up his muscles, the similarity between the two was reduced to only three points.
Mebucha, who also has black hair and blue eyes, is much slimmer than the sturdy King. He wears a pair of silver-rimmed glasses with a chain, and his whole body exudes the temperament of a gentle scholar.
"I heard that you once had a disciple named Mi You. I'd like to inquire about her."
"Ah, yes, Mi You, the daughter of my dear friend Mi Funa. I accepted her as my apprentice simply because I owed Mi Funa a huge favor." Mebucha was concentrating on digging into the cake. "But although Mi Funa had high hopes for her daughter, Mi You didn't inherit her mother's talent in magic and potions at all.
"That child is a natural artist. She loves painting and can draw lifelike portraits and landscapes, but she has no interest in magic and can't even draw a complete magic circle. In fact, she only became my apprentice to please her mother.
"After her mother passed away, the child almost couldn't wait to say goodbye to me. I didn't want her to lose all her studies, so I tried to keep her company and even sent her to the magic academy... However, she only perfunctorily attended the academy for a year before being expelled for failing the exams."
"So, Mi You left the magic academy on purpose?" Andre's eyes flashed.
"Yes," Mebucha nodded. "She said she finally had the chance to pursue her hobby, and I couldn't stop her. After all, Mi You often talked about wanting to be a traveling painter. On this point, mother and daughter had a huge disagreement. Mi Funa hoped that her daughter would succeed in magic, but Mi You didn't like magic, but she loved her mother deeply. Everyone could see the pain she suffered when learning magic; it wasn't a subject she loved. She would rather skip classes and paint quietly by the lake than learn which shape would best summon the fire element..."
"Do you know what happened after Mi You returned to Eston West City?" Andre asked again.
Mebucha shook her head. "We haven't had much contact. I only heard that she had some kind of time magic accident while cleaning her mother's cauldron. After all, we were master and apprentice. I wrote to her asking if she needed any help, but she only asked for a [Dark Magic License], saying that due to the effects of the accident, transforming herself into a lich was her only hope of survival."
"Did you get her that certificate?"
"Yes," Mebucha said. "I asked my brother to sign a certificate. I know Miu's personality. She's not completely ignorant of magic, but she simply has no interest in it. She even developed a rebellious mentality under her mother's pressure. She wouldn't take the initiative to practice the Dark Arts unless it was a matter of life and death... and naturally, she wouldn't do anything rebellious that would violate the [Dark Arts License]. On this point, I'm relatively relieved.
"Of course, I was more skeptical about whether she could complete the lich transformation independently, but she swore that it was no problem and that an 'old friend of her mother' was helping her, so I didn't ask any further questions. However, I left a harmless little spell on that [Dark Arts License] so that if someone binds it, I'll know.
"About a month ago, this spell was triggered, and I knew that Mi You had successfully become a lich."
He put down his fork and asked seriously, "Why did you ask me all the way here? What did this kid Mi You do wrong?"
