I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1536 - 1540: Consider This My Lodging Fee

The young man suddenly realized something.

In general, people with skills like these often have quite a temper.

He put himself in the magician's shoes, thinking if he were in the magician's place and someone in front of him was flaunting their family's power and wealth like a clown showing off, he'd surely be rather displeased.

Yet, contrasting with Zhang Menglong, not only did he display no negative emotions, he even proactively answered his questions. This clearly showed he was a very easy-going person!

He had just declined the invitation from the President of the Magicians' Association, so why not try inviting him to his home?

If he could get acquainted with such a character, regardless of the resources and status his family might gain, at the very least, his own position within the family would skyrocket.

But who knows if Zhang Menglong is genuinely as good-tempered as he seems.

"No matter!" He simply gathered his courage; at worst, he'd just be declined. After all, his reputation was already more tarnished today. What's the harm in getting rejected again? It's not like this minor issue would get him killed, right? The Magicians' Association wouldn't allow anyone to kill in their hall.

"Brother, I was rude earlier. My name is Raditz, and I'm from the Hertz Family in the Capital City of the Mosla Empire." Raditz, lowering his demeanor, showed he was genuinely adaptable.

"No harm done," Zhang Menglong said, truly unfazed, although it made him slightly curious and admiring of the youth for having the courage to approach him, despite him rejecting the President of the Magicians' Association. "I'm Zhang."

"Brother Zhang, you seem unfamiliar, and your accent is quite odd, as if you don't know much about our Mosla Empire. You must be from elsewhere, right?"

"Oh? You figured that out?"

"Hahaha," Raditz laughed, "It's not hard. In a few years, the Land of Inheritance left by Great Magician Ainos will be at its weakest during the thunder's period, and our Mosla Empire is closest to this spot. Before this time, many magicians from around the world come here; I assumed you were one of them."

"You guessed correctly," Zhang Menglong admitted without lying. "You have quite the eye."

"Hahaha, thank you for the compliment. I, Raditz, don't have many skills, but I can judge people. I used to be clumsy, but I certainly won't misjudge now." Raditz was instantly excited, as knowing Zhang Menglong's intentions gave him numerous cards to invite him.

"I wonder where you've been staying lately?"

"Oh, just at a nearby hotel," Zhang Menglong replied.

"How can that be? For a genius like you, staying in such a hotel is truly a disservice; even the finest hotel is merely a place of service," Raditz remarked, "My home is here in the city, and I'd like to sincerely invite you on behalf of the Hertz Family to be our guest. I wonder if Brother Zhang would honor us?"

Zhang Menglong was about to refuse, but Raditz quickly added, "Our family has been in this area for as long as the Empire was established; we understand the legacy left by Great Magician Ainos better than the average person. Even the Royal Family and the Magicians' Association might not know as much as we do."

"Oh?" That was indeed an irresistible bargaining chip for Zhang Menglong.

"You can stay with our family for a while, and I'll arrange the best rooms for you and your attendants, the finest food, and the most dedicated servants, ensuring you can prepare comfortably at our home," Raditz's eyes almost gleamed with enthusiasm.

"This…" Zhang Menglong hesitated, "Sounds quite good, but I hope you're not planning to use me against a mysterious person. I despise being used as a tool."

"Rest assured, if you're unwilling, we won't force you to do anything!" Raditz exclaimed excitedly, seeming hopeful that Zhang Menglong would accept his invitation.

"Lead the way then!"

"Alright!"

Raditz had arrived with several attendants, and their ship was parked at the Magicians' Association's designated docking area.

The Hertz Family was located in the central area of the city, not far from the Magicians' Association. Along the way, Raditz's attendants and the family's servants observed Zhang Menglong with curious eyes.

Not for anything else, but due to the golden star-adorned robe he wore. They even wondered if their master had gone mad, inviting an apparent fool as a guest.

Would any sane person wear such a brash and silly robe?

Hundreds of golden stars? Even if the President of the Magicians' Association, that Great Magician, saw such attire, they'd bow down before walking away.

On the way, Raditz introduced Zhang Menglong to the customs of the Mosla Empire and briefly mentioned the legacy of Ainos.

In the Land of Inheritance, Ainos created an enclosed space using his final strength. In this space, unless one is stronger than Ainos, anyone coming here would be completely stripped of powers except for magic.

In other words, even a level nine perfect organism entering this space would be little more than a useless being apart from their basic physical qualities, ensuring that only a magician can receive the legacy.

Moreover, everyone's magic power would be suppressed to within level three perfect organisms, preventing young magicians with excellent gifts from missing out on their chance due to fate.

Apart from his final legacy, just a bit of luck and opportunity inside can yield some valuable treasures.

For instance, his ancestors once entered that Land of Inheritance. Though they didn't receive the legacy, they returned with some decent magical spells and equipment.

Their family's most powerful advanced magic was brought back by his grandfather, and there's even a very powerful wand. This spell and wand combination makes them almost unbeatable among mages.

Hence, their family rooted itself in this expansive Royal City.

"So, what did you get from the Magicians' Association this time?" Zhang Menglong asked curiously.

"Oh, it's a high-level spell in the series of flames," Raditz openly shared, "This spell is very special, its power related to the strength of the Fire Element. My father once got burnt by a flame-created monster during a battle, but since my father was a fire-type magician, his flames later inherited some of these traits."

"This spell was initially going to be sold at the next auction, but our family learned of it, and we made a move in secret, paying a price to buy it directly from a buyer."

"Oh, that's not bad," Zhang Menglong glanced at the magic, its name being Phantom Flame Explosion Technique, considered somewhat weaker among high-level spells."

"This is for you." Zhang Menglong casually tossed over a Magic Scroll.

"What's this?" Raditz curiously opened the scroll, and as soon as he did, an intense heat like burning flames seemed to pulse forth from it.

"Flames of Extinction? Is this a fire-type spell?" Raditz exclaimed.

"Among advanced magic, it can be considered top-tier," Zhang Menglong said, a skill from the fifth advancement in the profession of Adventure Island's flame warlocks, with incredibly expansive attack range and immense power.

"This…"

"I can't just stay at your home for free, can I?" Zhang Menglong remarked, "Consider this my fee for staying at your place."
