I Became An Immortal On Mortal Realm

Chapter 705: Who Is Matthew?

"A while ago, after Lord Edmond learned of this matter, he had specially sent someone from the Humility Palace in the northernmost floating city to transfer a powerful hall mage to solve the problem.

"But then again.

"Who could expect a young mage with no practical experience to solve the complicated problem of the Watcher Highland?

"The Silver Council doesn't think highly of that so-called genius. The reason why they agreed to the dispatch of the northernmost floating city is purely because they really don't have any more manpower."

Matthew nodded slightly after listening.

The Hall Mages were also a transcendent existence within the Seven Saint Alliance.

They were the most talented group of mages, the geniuses of mages.

Most of the hall mages were selected from the major magic academies at a young age and sent to the northernmost floating city to receive the best magic education.

The best among them could directly enter the Hall of Humility or the Hall of Wisdom.

Within the Alliance, they didn't do anything, but they enjoyed extremely high benefits.

The Silver Council was a practical mage who had to worry about all kinds of things, so they naturally looked down on the pure academic mages.

This was the first time Matthew had heard the term 'hall mage', and it was from Margaret.

Margaret hated the Hall Mages.

Because she was eliminated in the first round of selection when she was very young.

She had always been dissatisfied with this.

In the future, she would also use her hard work to prove that she was not inferior to those talented hall mages.

In short, in the eyes of registered mages or mages with practical experience.

Hall Mages were either nerds who only knew how to study magic theory or Mages who were extremely talented and arrogant.

Matthew did not have any prejudice against Hall mages.

After all, in the eyes of every mage in the Alliance, he was an unorthodox person.

" What's the name of that Hall Mage?"

he asked.

"Hibbert."

David immediately replied,

" Although the Silver Council is full of doubts about Mr. Hibbert's business ability, they still give him high praise in other aspects.

" He's a very gentle male mage. He doesn't have the haughty attitude of the other hall mages.

" His magic talent is ranked in the top three in the history of the Alliance. He is a true genius."

Matthew was a little surprised.

"Top three in history?

" Then how does Mr. Hibbert compare to Great Mage Ronan?"

David shook his head.

" Even among the Seven Saints, Mr. Ronan isn't the most talented."

"Oh?"

Matthew's interest was piqued.

"Who has the highest talent?"

David said affirmatively,

" Guardian of the West, Lady Yourou. Lady Isabelle personally rated her talent as the first of the Seven Saints.

" The second isn't Ronan, but the Guardian of the North, Roderick. His talent in the field of prophecy is comparable to that of the Sage of the Human race. The latter was a Fate Sorceress blessed by the plane.

" Great Mage Ronan's talent is only third."

Matthew clicked his tongue.

The Alliance of Seven Saints was really full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Ronan was so talented that he was only ranked third among the Seven Saints.

It was a pity that he had no impression of the Western Guardian, Yourou. He only knew that she was a mysterious female mage. She was usually at the old site of the Alliance, Bretonson, the place where natural disasters descended, and was responsible for guarding some of the Alliance's secrets.

" So you're saying that Mage Hibbert is more talented than the current Seven Saints?"

Matthew's curiosity was aroused.

David nodded.

"That should be the case. After all, everyone says so.

" As circumstantial evidence, Mr. Hibbert is the only Mage who has been accepted as a student by Lady Yourou. Lady Yourou has personally admitted that she only has one criterion for choosing students, and that is talent. Only those who are close to her or even higher in talent have the chance to become her student. Currently, only Hibbert has achieved this.

" Although Lady Yourou has been in seclusion ever since Hibbert became her student, and I remember that Hibbert only met Lady Yourou once, this doesn't affect the authority of the former's talent."

Matthew couldn't help but complain after listening,

" If you accept a student but don't meet him, what's the difference between that and not accepting him?"

David chuckled and said,

" There are also many rumours within the Alliance. One of the more widely accepted ones is that Lady Yourou is lazy by nature and is not willing to teach students at all. She chooses the one with the strongest talent. After completing the quota given by the Alliance, she can completely let go and let him become a self-taught person. In any case, she was completely self-taught back then."

Matthew was amazed after hearing it.

Every time he learned about the secrets of these high-level mages, his eyes would light up.

It was no wonder why Edmond was so persistent in gossip.

If he had his ability, he would probably read the gossip!

" Alright, I'll accept this commission for now, but I'll have to make a trip to the Watcher Highlands to know if I'll actually carry it out."

Matthew was very interested in that genius called Hibbert.

Of course.

One million gold coins were the most important reason for his decision.

" I understand. We will inform Mr. Hibbert as soon as possible. He will welcome you at the Horned Horn Guild in the Watcher Highland. I hope the two of you can work together happily."

David said skillfully.

Matthew hurriedly asked,

"How does Hibbert look like?"
