Chapter 987: Chapter 988 Earth Elent Mage_1 Chapter 987: Chapter 988 Earth Elent Mage_1 City Lord Mansion, the guest hall
A gaunt old man with a tuft of goat-tail beard was quietly sitting in a chair, sipping tea. A brown magic staff rested beside his left hand, unsupported, yet it did not fall, standing upright next to the elder.
The brown gem at the top of the staff twinkled, casting light as if it were on alert for sothing.
Upon seeing Song Jian enter from the doorway, surprise flashed in the elder’s eyes; he probably had not expected the master of this castle to be so young.
“Honorable lord, Mage Tuya pays his respects to you,” the elder said respectfully with a bow to Song Jian.
“Hello, Master Tuya,” Song Jian responded politely with a bow and then asked, “May I know why you have co here? Are you seeking any help?”
“Lord, I wish to join your ranks and beco one of your city-affiliated heroes,” Tuya stated directly.
Song Jian scrutinized Tuya. His mage’s robe was neither lavish nor shabby, and he lacked the haggard appearance of a wandering mage. Even the staff, grasped in his left hand, was no common item, especially the fist-sized brown gem at its top, which alone was worth a fortune.
Although his level wasn’t very high—just twenty-six—that level was considered above average in the entire human kingdom. He could have received a handso treatnt had he chosen any human kingdom to join, far better than joining a newly developing lordship that hadn’t even reached level one of castle developnt.
“Tuya, do you have any demands?” Song Jian asked directly.
“Lord, you are indeed straightforward,” Tuya replied with a smile, deepening the wrinkles on his face: “I ca here seeking your help. To the west of your castle is a marshland inhabited by nurous earth elentals. I hope, my lord, that you could defeat them, take over the Earth Elental Temple there, and I would lead the earth elentals that are produced. Also, there is a high-tier magic scroll treasured within the Earth Elental Temple that I hope you would allow to study.”
“Is that the reason you are willing to join under my command?” Song Jian said indifferently. “Then what can you bring to ? Or rather, what skills do you possess that are worth my investnt?”
In the records of the City Lord Mansion, this Assessnt World was also filled with various elental beings—earth elentals, air elentals, fire elentals, water elentals, and so on.
These elental beings were inherently stronger than most races, starting as third-tier soldiers at birth. As adults, they could reach the level of fourth-tier soldiers, and upon advancent, they would beco fifth-tier stone elentals. The stone elentals possessed the strength to confront human sixth-tier knights head-on. In other words, although stone elentals were only fifth-tier, they could compete with sixth-tier soldiers in certain respects.
“My lord, I am an earth elental mage,” Tuya explained with increasing respect. Since the lord hadn’t rejected him, it was evident that the lord had the strength to defeat those earth elental beings.
“Although I am only level twenty-six, I have mastered various earth magic from first to sixth tier, and my innate skill is commanding earth elentals. Under my leadership, the strength of earth elental warriors can increase by 50%, and I’m also versed in air magic, able to smoothly cast any air spell below the third tier…”
Tuya looked up with a smile: “Lord, it seems you have yet to build a Magic Tower. You should know, even constructing a basic level-one Magic Tower requires the aid of an official mage, and I am precisely the mage you need.”
Song Jian nodded. So rules in this Assessnt World were sowhat similar to those in gas, such as the construction of a Magic Tower requiring a mage’s assistance.
In the gaming world, a Magic Tower is an important milestone for upgrading a territory to city level; only with a Magic Tower does a territory qualify to advance to city level.

Song Jian had previously found a Blood Mage to oversee the construction of the Magic Tower, which allowed the territory of the City of Hope Alliance to be upgraded to a first-tier city.
“Certainly, welco to join my castle,” Song Jian said with a smile.
“Thank you, my lord,” Tuya breathed a sigh of relief, giving Song Jian a bow.
System: You have gained the recognition of the second hero; two heroes have now joined under your command. If you gain one more hero’s allegiance, Battle Mode will be unlocked!
“Battle Mode? What’s that?” Song Jian frowned and began to carefully examine the Battle Mode details.
It turned out that “Battle Mode” refers to the unlocking of a special map area, where all resources of the examiness are transferred to this special area. The area is generated on the spot and as ti progresses, the distance between everyone will continuously shrink.
Eventually, the one hundred examinees who entered the Assessnt World will inevitably co into contact with each other in this confined space. To eliminate others and erge victorious, the examinees will inevitably spark a series of great battles.
Song Jian imdiately felt a sense of urgency; once Battle Mode was entered, the current level of the castle, the resource points seized, and the troops acquired might all beco the final straw determining victory or defeat. He now must seize the ti to beco even stronger.
“My lord, about the matter of the Earth Elental Spirit…” Tuya asked cautiously.
“We’ll depart right now,” Song Jian nodded.
Seeing Song Jian’s prompt agreent, a joyous smile appeared on Tuya’s face.
Song Jian had only just returned to the castle when he once again set out on a journey.
Upon leaving the castle, Song Jian mounted a Mutated Unicorn, while Tuya summoned a long-horned deer to ride. The Mutated Unicorn glanced at the long-horned deer and let out a low growl, causing the deer to step back in fear and let out a deep, mournful cry.
“My lord, your mount?” Tuya asked, surprise evident on his face. After all, unicorns were already a very rare species, and within them, the mutated ones were exceedingly rare, perhaps only surpassed by the creatures of legend like the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix.
“It’s just an ordinary Mutated Unicorn,” Song Jian said with a laugh. Having ridden a Giant Dragon before, he didn’t find a Mutated Unicorn to be particularly precious.
Tuya stared at the unicorn’s horn, which flashed continuously with electricity, revealing a hint of envy in his eyes.
“My lord, take good care of this Mutated Unicorn. You can tell it’s still in its juvenile phase, and it has trendous potential. It possesses the qualifications to beco a powerful Storm Lord,” Tuya said softly.
