I can optimize spell code

Chapter 15 Light-type Beautiful Girl Mage

The optimized Wind Walk spell has amazing effects.

The two seemed to be riding the wind, their toes barely touching the snow before they could glide several meters away.

Jack went from being panicked at first to eventually being unable to help but exclaim in amazement, saying that the spell was like flying.

The two of them kicked up two long waves of snow on the snowfield as they sped eastward.

...

In less than half a day, as dusk approached, several long, drawn-out roars of beasts could be faintly heard from the horizon.

At the end of their line of sight, a large town surrounded by stone walls came into view.

This is Baiyin Town.

It is completely different from the small villages of Blackstone Town, which consist of only wooden fences and a few dozen households.

The walls of Silver Town were very well constructed, and there were armed guards.

Smoke rose from the chimneys of the town, and the faint sounds of bustling activity could be heard from the city, creating an atmosphere of prosperity.

At the city gate, several town guards were working together to push open the heavy iron-clad wooden door.

"Come in quickly, you two young people!"

One of the guards, seeing Rom and Jack rushing towards them, shouted, "The sun is about to set! We need to close the gates!"

Rom took a look at the city wall.

The guards were fully armed, and huge wooden spikes and bonfires had been erected at the foot of the city wall.

Clearly, this is a defensive formation against monsters.

It seems that things aren't going peaceful in Silver Town lately.

The two squeezed inside just before the city gates closed.

As soon as they entered the city, Jack breathed a sigh of relief and led Rom to the busiest street in the town center with practiced ease.

"This place is indeed quite large."

Rom looked around at the two-story building made of hard stone and the street paved with flagstones.

He suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Jack, and asked with a half-smile:

"By the way, weren't you always looking for small towns with no powerful backing to target? Silver Town is such a big piece of meat, why didn't you think of taking it over back then?"

Upon hearing this, Jack blushed and scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

"Lord Romu, please don't make fun of me. How could I possibly have that ability?"

It's clearly written in my handbook that the resident mage of Silver Town, Cassius, is a genuine third-tier light magic archmage! It's said that he'll be taking the archmage exam at the end of this year.

"I'm just a second-tier mage, I can't afford to mess with them. I only dare to scavenge for scraps in small places like Blackrock Town... cough cough."

"At least you have some self-awareness."

After listening, Luo Mu nodded slightly.

A third-tier light magic archmage, about to be promoted to Grand Magister…

It seems that this mage Cassius does indeed possess some skill.

At least he's much better than the old man at home.

...

The two arrived in front of a three-story building with a pointed roof.

A golden sun emblem banner hangs at the entrance of the building; this is the [Mage's Pavilion] in Silver Town.

Jack straightened his robes, which had been wrinkled by the wind, walked to the door, and gave a standard mage's salute to the two apprentices guarding the door, lightly touching his chin with his right hand and bowing slightly.

"We have come to see Master Cassius."

Jack straightened his chest, his tone neither humble nor arrogant, and he certainly had a bit of an aristocratic air about him.

"I am Jack, a second-tier mage from Red Dragon City. This is... mage Rom."

Because Rom didn't have a badge, Jack could only give a vague description.

Upon seeing that the other party was a second-level mage, the two apprentices dared not be negligent and immediately returned the greeting respectfully before turning around and running upstairs to report.

A moment later, a clear voice came from above the stairs: "Please come in."

After the two entered, the apprentice led them up the stairs to the second floor.

The room opened up to a spacious domed hall with thick carpets covering the floor. In the center stood a long mahogany table, behind which, against the wall, were bookshelves filled with all sorts of magical books.

On the wall at the front of the hall hangs a huge portrait of the "Holy Lord of Light," which exudes a sacred and solemn aura.

Sitting in front of the mahogany table was a blonde girl wearing a pure white robe with gold trim.

She looked to be in her early twenties, with a beautiful face, a quiet and serene temperament, and an aura of purity as if she had been baptized by holy light.

As soon as Jack looked up, he froze, staring intently at the girl, momentarily lost in thought.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you, gentlemen?" The girl closed the book in her hands and asked softly.

Jack then seemed to snap out of his daze, stepped forward, and bowed deeply.

"You are... Master Cassius! Forgive my bluntness, but you truly astonish me. To attain the honor of a third-tier archmage at such a young age is truly..."

"Ha! Where did this country bumpkin who's never seen the world come from?"

Before Jack could finish speaking, a piercing, cold laugh came from beside the girl.

A young man dressed in a magnificent bright yellow robe emerged from behind the bookshelf. He glanced at Jack, then turned to the girl and smiled:

"Elena, look at these wild mages. They get dizzy and can't even speak properly when they see you."

"Please be polite to the visitor, Kevin!"

The girl was clearly somewhat dissatisfied with the man in the yellow robe's attitude.

She stood up and explained to Jack somewhat awkwardly, "You've misunderstood. I'm a student of Master Cassius, and my name is Elena."

"Professor Cassius has gone to Red Dragon City for a meeting, and we are temporarily guarding the Mage's Pavilion in Silver Town. Is there anything we can do to help?"

Jack coughed twice to cover his embarrassment. Since the other person was also a student of the same generation, there was no need for such a grand gesture.

He straightened his back and explained his purpose in detail.

"Hamerin?"

Upon hearing the name Kevin, the man in the yellow robe picked his ear and sneered repeatedly.

"Who do we have here? It's that country bumpkin sorcerer hiding in Blackstone Town on the border."

Kevin noticed Rom, who hadn't said a word.

Seeing Rom's tattered coarse linen clothes and the fact that he didn't even have a staff, Kevin's eyes were filled with undisguised mockery:

"I remember you. You're that apprentice named Romú who was with him, right?"

"I heard you're a magic insulator who can't even sense a wisp of magical energy? Why would Elena waste her precious magic to go to that rural place to save someone who has nothing to do with us?"

Rom didn't speak, because he wasn't there to ask this guy for help.

Kevin turned his head and looked Jack up and down again, then sneered, "And you, claiming to be a mage from Red Dragon City, why are you dressed like a beggar fleeing a disaster? Are you some kind of conman who ran away from somewhere?"

"Please watch your words!"

Jack was hit where it hurt and immediately flew into a rage.

He stepped forward to block Rom's path, forcefully patting the silver star badge on his chest, and angrily pointed at Kevin, saying, "I am a second-tier mage officially registered with the Red Dragon City Mage Guild! A mage's dignity cannot be trampled upon like this!"

"A mage's dignity?" Kevin sneered, extending a finger and slowly parting the hem of his robe.

On his chest was a clearly visible silver star badge, and at his waist hung a gleaming black ancient vine wand.

However, Kevin's badge had obvious wear marks and even a ring of tiny magic crystal fragments inlaid around the edge, indicating that he was not only a second-tier mage but had also accumulated extremely high guild merits.

"If you're not satisfied, you can have a duel in the square."

Kevin stared coldly at Jack, his eyes filled with hostility.

Upon seeing the other party's qualifications and equipment, Jack's arrogance was immediately dampened by half.

The man in the yellow robe was clearly stronger than himself.

In the past, he would have definitely changed the subject and talked about a few acquaintances in the city, built relationships, chatted and laughed, and earned the title of friend.

However, he was not intimidated by his opponent this time, after all, he had brought along some experts.
