Nicholas William, being a minor lord, revealed his idtity and gave a few gold coins to the staff, allowing him to move to the front of the line immediately.

In this situation, those who were cut in line were not surprised at all; their expressions showed little fluctuation.

However, while Dean Bruce was queuing, a wizard suddly approached him, respectfully saying, "Are you Dean Bruce, sir?"

Hearing this, Dean Bruce raised an eyebrow in surprise. Could it be that the Magic Guild recognized his aura?

No, that didn\'t seem right!

If that were the case, why would their attitude be so polite?

Could this be a trap?

With his thoughts racing, Dean Bruce tighted his grip on his staff, ready for a fight.

But the wizard continued, "Lord Claire instructed me to invite you. She hopes you will honor us with your presce!"

After a brief pause, the wizard added, "Lord Claire mtioned that wh you go, the teleportation magic array will not be activated temporarily, until your return, and you won\'t need to spd a single coin to use it!"

Upon hearing this, Dean Bruce was ev more astonished. The person looking for him was Claire Raymond?

The others were equally shocked, their faces reflecting utter disbelief.

Claire Raymond was one of the most powerful figures in the tire Mors Province, and her reputation was well-known.

In that instant, the way they looked at Dean Bruce changed to one of surprise and a hint of respect.

To have someone like Claire Raymond sd an invitation meant Dean Bruce\'s strgth must also be considerable!

Dean Bruce was filled with confusion. Hadn\'t they just fought? Why was her attitude toward him so differt now?

Was she frighted by the counter?

As his mind turned, he recalled the pottial befits. Unable to resist any longer, Dean Bruce said, "Lead the way!"

Aside from the befits, he was also curious about why Claire Raymond sought him out. Had she noticed something from that woman during their last counter?

"Please, my lord, follow me."

The wizard said, bowing respectfully before leading the way. Dean Bruce immediately followed.

Through several corridors, Dean Bruce quickly arrived at an elevator. Unlike the elevators in the junior magic academy, this one appeared more exquisite, made from a special crystalline material that shimmered with light, keeping the darkness at bay.

Using the elevator, Dean Bruce followed the wizard into a spacious area on the g floor.

There were no rooms—only a cresct moon hanging in the air.

The wizard whispered, "Lord Claire is within the moon. I cannot approach; please proceed, Lord Dean!"

With that, the wizard bowed respectfully and turned to leave the elevator.

Narrowing his eyes, Dean Bruce did not hesitate and walked straight toward the cresct moon.

Having come this far, changing his mind now would be a waste of time.

As he got closer, Claire Raymond\'s figure became visible. She appeared pale, lacking any color in her face, and ev her aura seemed weak and diminished.

Seeing this, Dean Bruce\'s tse heart relaxed, and he was ev more surprised. He hadn\'t expected that such a powerful woman could be rdered helpless by just one spell, leaving Claire Raymond unable to recover for two days.

However, the fact that someone so formidable could arrive at his side at any momt also st a chill down Dean Bruce\'s spine.

At that momt, the woman was indeed protecting him, but without knowing why, Dean Bruce couldn\'t be certain whether she would turn against him in the future!

"You\'ve come," Claire Raymond said, her voice sounding weak as she managed a bitter smile. "I didn\'t expect you to have such a spectral guardian. It seems my guess was correct; you truly have great fortune!"

Dean Bruce raised an eyebrow and chuckled lightly, "What\'s this? Do you still want to deal with me?"

"No," Claire Raymond shook her head and replied softly. "Though I don\'t know the reason, since you have the means to summon someone across time and space for your protection, you are not someone I can handle."

"I\'ve come to discuss a partnership."

Claire Raymond fixed her gaze on Dean Bruce and said quietly, "I know you must have something special about you, but your currt strgth is indeed a bit lacking. We could collaborate; I can act as your forcer, and any befits gained, just share some with me!"

It must be said that the terrifying power of that spectral woman had indeed frighted Claire Raymond.

It led her to make a misjudgmt.

In her mind, Dean Bruce was an ancit creature who had tak over a body and was knowledgeable about many treasures and relics.

As long as she could establish a good relationship with Dean Bruce, wouldn\'t she be able to reap some rewards as well?

Of course, she understood that someone like Dean Bruce would be incredibly stingy and reluctant to share spoils, which was why she proposed to serve as his forcer!

Otherwise, giv her strgth and status, there was no way she would demean herself like this.

Dean Bruce narrowed his eyes, lost in thought. He wasn\'t contemplating whether to cooperate; instead, he was reflecting on the phrase about crossing time and space to protect you!

In this magical world, time and space were tirely distinct tities, and people wouldn\'t confuse the two.

To cross time and space meant that the spectral woman not only existed in a differt time period than Dean Bruce but also in a differt realm!

In other words, that woman wasn\'t from this contint!

[The first time I countered her was in the Lulu Ruins. Could she be from the era wh the black dragon was sealed? As for not being from the same realm—could she be a deity? Or one of those special races like the elves?]

[Could she possibly be the moon goddess? Or the one who sealed the black dragon?]

The more he thought about it, the more rapid his breathing became. There was no dying that the woman\'s idtity was somewhat terrifying, making it hard for Dean Bruce to believe.

He couldn\'t fathom that a mere traveler from a new age could somehow connect with deities or those who stood shoulder to shoulder with them!

Glancing back at Claire Raymond, Dean Bruce said softly, "You have some discernmt, but unfortunately, you hav\'t se ough."

At his words, Claire Raymond shivered slightly and th forced a smile, saying, "I was reckless earlier. If you\'re still dissatisfied, you may dispose of me as you wish!"

Dean Bruce didn\'t want to hear that, but seeing the fearful expression on Claire Raymond\'s face made him realize she wouldn\'t continue that line of conversation. He replied, "Letting you off is one thing, but if you want to collaborate, don\'t you think that the condition of being your forcer is... too low?"

"If I wanted an forcer, I could find anyone," Dean Bruce retorted. "Why should I choose you?"

"Because I hold the position of branch presidt at the Magic Guild and am the honorary vice presidt at headquarters!" Claire Raymond said earnestly. "If you agree to work with me, I can arrange a position for you that allows you to freely access the Magic Guild\'s resources and mobilize manpower and supplies. Ev the matter of you dealing with the Magic Guild\'s people before can be wiped clean."

"Otherwise, no matter how powerful you are, there will always be Magic Guild members looking to trouble you. Ev if they can\'t harm you, they will waste your time and ruin your mood, right?"

Claire Raymond spoke sincerely: "I may not be the only forcer available, but my position can bring you many advantages!"

Hearing this, Dean Bruce felt a stir of interest.

The Magic Guild was a colossal tity in the Meze Star; ev the Nine Provinces Alliance dared not confront it directly!

Ev just using the resources of the Magic Guild without being able to make decisions that would set the Magic Guild against the Nine Provinces Alliance would still provide significant befits.

Most importantly, Dean Bruce\'s understanding of magic was still relatively shallow. Ev though he was studying diligtly, the time was too short, and there were still many things he didn\'t grasp.

If he could hold a certain position within the Magic Guild, wouldn\'t that allow him to freely learn and access magical s?

"What kind of position?" Dean Bruce asked directly.

Claire Raymond smiled, a flush of excitemt rising to her cheeks.

If Dean Bruce intded to refuse, he definitely wouldn\'t have asked that question!

This inquiry indicated that as long as the position she offered wasn\'t too lowly, collaboration would be a go!

Taking a deep breath, Claire Raymond replied earnestly, "At the Magic Guild headquarters, there are a total of thirte honorary elder positions. Holding one allows you to access all books within any Magic Guild and utilize resources!"

"As for resources, as long as you don\'t empty out the guild\'s warehouse, there shouldn\'t be any problems! Regarding manpower, aside from the formal elders, presidt, and vice presidt, everyone else would have to follow your orders."

"If there are legitimate matters, you can also negotiate with them, and they will cooperate with you!"

"Additionally, you would be able to receive 0,000 gold coins from the Magic Guild headquarters each month!"

"!!!"

Hearing this, Dean Bruce was completely intrigued. This position at the Magic Guild\'s branch would equate to being a supreme authority!

In an instant, Dean Bruce\'s gaze toward Claire Raymond became rather strange. Could it be that this woman had Stockholm syndrome?
