Curt has always believed that there are two essentially different people in this world. One is a genius, such as Liqi; the other is not, such as himself.

As the name suggests, geniuses are people with innate extraordinary talents. The talents they have in some aspects have reached an incredible level. In some fields, ordinary people need ten or even a hundred times hard work to achieve, and these people can complete them without any effort.

I remember that Alva Andis, a pioneer of mechanics in the new era who was praised by everyone as "the last genius of the old era and the first genius of the new era", once said, "Genius is just guiding the efforts of ordinary people with a little intelligence."

Working hard is important, but without that little intelligence, it is meaningless.

He is not a genius, but a mortal who is too ordinary to be more ordinary - so he thinks. Therefore, he never expects to achieve unrealistic results in certain fields, but instead makes efforts to the extent that he thinks that even "mortals can do it."

And now, Cruce François, who stood in front of him, has also achieved unimaginable results. And according to his experience, he is undoubtedly a genius.

When the Dominion was just included in the empire and Catris was just an ordinary pioneer village, it was a land opened by several families with backgrounds and some scattered pioneer farmers. The surname François was among the "families with backgrounds" at that time.

Time flies, and some of the descendants of those pioneering farmers have now become proprietors who hold a large number of farms, while some of the originally prominent families have disappeared in history. But no matter what other families are like, the François family still retains a considerable influence in Catris.

Such a background is enviable enough, and he was found to have a spell casting level that was much higher than ordinary people in his youth. Especially his ability to master the "air" in elemental magic was called "a rare sight in a century" by the teachers taught at that time.

Genius is a genius. On the surface, the information about Cruise François, which is well known to everyone, basically only registers his glorious deeds. From the above, he seems to have never experienced any headaches that ordinary people will feel.

As for the others, they should not be known to the public.

Before this meeting, Curt had seen many photos of this man who was about to enter the old age in the newspaper. But indeed, it was difficult to feel the presence of this magician who was awarded the title of "Twelve Directions" by the Central Institute of Magical Studies of the Empire.

Seeing the moment Curt approaching, accompanied by an expression that had almost no change, he spoke.

A smooth and powerful voice flowed out of the dry lips: "You are Curt Ryanster? I have heard of your deeds from many people, but I didn't expect it to be younger than I thought. Very good, I have a great reputation at a young age, and I look forward to your future performance."

Under the slightly dim street lights, the black coat on his body almost made him merge into the darkness. The wide-brimmed gentleman's hat that was originally worn on his head had been taken off at this time, revealing his luxurious silver hair. Black and silver, the tall and thin magician exuded a pressure of being in a high position all year round.

The air around him belongs to him, and the enlarged air flows freely under his drive, circulating regularly into a completely different field from the outside world. Air. This beast that has always yearned for "freedom" now seems to be kneeling in front of the old man and bowing to him.

"Wind of the Twelve Directions" is a vocabulary derived from the three ancient words used to describe "wind" that are used to describe "wind" and "flow". This noun itself represents the meaning of "wind blowing from the end of the world".

Although Liqi was quite dissatisfied with his ability to obtain this title - she believed that the achievements of Cruise François were not enough to achieve such a title. But when Curt was in the realm of the wind under his control, it was not difficult to imagine the power he had.

"The problem is not here. I just think it's too exaggerated to let a human possess the name of a god." Curt's insult was heard by Liqi, who maintained the soul connection. She shouted in Curt's mind with dissatisfaction, "In the religion of the mythical age, the 'Twelve Directions Wind' is used to describe the god who controls the atmosphere, "Invisible and always there". People in that era may find it difficult to describe something like "air", so they will choose a more intuitive 'wind' to describe the magician who controls the air, and this is why..."

It may be too exaggerated to let a human possess the title of King of Wind.

If this was an old era when religious rights had a huge impact on the secular world, it was indeed an unforgivable act of banishment. But now this era is an era where gods, ghosts and demons can be used to construct stories. It stayed thousands of years ago, and the names of pagan gods were used for random use. I am afraid no one would care about this kind of thing long ago.

Too lazy to pay attention to Liqi's long speech, Curt looked at Cruise François, who was controlling the surrounding air calmly and said, "Where is, Mr. François has won the award. Compared to me, an unknown mercenary, the name of your high-level magician is truly well-known."

The air around was whistling, and the flow of magic could be vaguely felt. The nearby area should be under the control of Cruz François within dozens of steps. These air was equivalent to an extension of his senses, and would give him all the information they could perceive.

Curt felt fortunately not bringing Liqi over.

Even if she is in a soul state now, she will not be touched by matter, and cannot be seen directly with the naked eye, but the area with obvious temperature difference between the size of the human body and the surrounding environment will definitely be discovered by these air surrounding it once she enters here.

"Are you too much? I don't think you're." Cruise François's smooth expression put a smile on his business, and it was hard for Curt to see what he was thinking. "There are many experts among the mercenary management offices, but at your age, he has completed many quite difficult commissions. Grosted, who has also assisted the guards in handling several difficult events - I don't think there are many people who can do such a thing."

After hearing him say this, Curt's eyebrows couldn't help but raise.

He could not have imagined that this magician, known as the "Twelve Directions Winds", had to praise him. Helping Grosted handle the incident was not a formal commission submitted by Grosted to the Mercenary Management Office. In theory, this information should not be heard in his ears.

So someone told him this information?

He looked at Cruise François silently, waiting for him to continue speaking, and at the same time he was thinking silently about the possible leak of information.

"Curter Ryanster, a 'iron' mercenary from the Mercenary Management Office. He came to Katris from Sani Harbor three years ago and lived at No. 27 Lyme Street, Brooklyn." But the other party did not care about his suspicion, but recited Curt's information without any ups and downs. "There is a relative, Liqi Ryanster, who has been at home for three years, and has improved. He started studying in the first grade of the theory department of this college a few days ago."

Curt calmly watched him slowly recite the tasks and work he had participated in in the past three years one by one, and also spit out all the identities he could find, and couldn't help but laugh. When he didn't notice, so much information about himself had already leaked.

Fortunately, the personal information investigated by Cruise François is all real information that is not a big deal even if it is known.

During the years he came to this new world that lived abroad with Liqi, he was not too slow to do anything that would reveal his true identities and Liqi. The only thing that was quite conspicuous was that he was just quietly acting as an "ordinary mercenary" in a corner of the city.

Listening to Cruise François reading his own information, a hypocritical wry smile appeared on Curt's face: "It seems that I have been investigated very thoroughly. So, Dean Cruise François, what exactly is you doing to investigate me, an ordinary 'iron' mercenary?"

This guy is not easy to deal with...

Curt looked at this magician who was about to grow old but still had rich vitality. He seemed to be omnipotent like his nickname, but he didn't know what the purpose was, which made people feel elusive. At the same time, he was also curious about how much information the other party still had in his hands.

"Don't you feel very unwilling to do it? You have completed so many difficult tasks and have not had enough qualifications, but after so long, you are only in the 'iron' level evaluation and cannot get better work treatment." As if you enjoy the initiative you have, he spoke slowly, "I think this is a pity, so I want to ask you - do you want to come to the college to become a teacher? With your ability, there is no problem to be a teacher in sports classes. If you vote, I think you can start swordsmanship in some departments."

What was he thinking? Curt was a little confused. Although his tone sounded like he was trying to persuade Curt to join their camp, it was not the case from his eyes. The conditions he offered were not worth mentioning, but Curt did not think he was saying this sincerely.

After thinking about it for a while, Curt felt that it would be better to reject his proposal. He scratched his face and said, "I'm sorry, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm still quite satisfied with the status quo. And compared to being a teaching position in the college, I think I'm more suitable to be a mercenary."
