Chapter 7 Magic Test

When his sister and the brown-haired man in a tuxedo entered the car, Fei Song was ready to follow them.

His purpose of building a city has been achieved, so there is no need to stay or waste time.

At this moment, the man in black robe who had been silent from beginning to end suddenly reported: "Master Eric, a student of the eldest lady, left just now. Do you need us to clean it up?"

Fei Song glanced at the two of them, then continued to step onto the carriage and said, "No need, we are not here to cause trouble, and we cannot embarrass the city lord and the city's nobles."

The dead soldiers trained by the family are undoubtedly useful sharp swords, but their brains are not very easy to use.

What he did today was to make his sister no longer have a place to stay and to fear himself.

It is crucial to hunt prey, block the prey's exit, and guide her to escape along the route you have given. But burning down a forest for a prey is folly.

...

East District of Thunderstone City, in front of the Adventurer's Guild

Naturally, Ina and Lake had no way of knowing what happened to Makes. After walking for more than ten minutes, they turned into a branching street and stopped at a quaint bar.

With the slight creak of the door, the two of them pushed the door open and walked into the bar. They were greeted by the noise of people, which was even noisier than outside, and the room temperature, which was not like winter.

It is also mixed with the smell of sweat that never goes away, as well as the stronger smell of wheat and alcohol. It is obviously not that this place cannot afford to hire enough cleaning staff or buy odor-repelling herbs, but these seem to have become A natural background color here.

Like now, a customer was bragging with other customers at a long table next to the door, and Ina had seen the empty rum bottle at his elbow.

"This is drinking right in the morning..." Ina thought a little funny, but she was not surprised or surprised. In slums that are even poorer than here, the poor also flock to alcohol. It can be said that alcohol is the common people's choice. The life-saver and best pastime.

On the other hand, Lake came to the front of the counter.

There were a lot of counters open, and it was already the scorching sun. Those who were supposed to receive the enlistments had already gone to complete the enlistments, and those who were supposed to be looking for jobs had already gone to accept the self-recommendations based on the job announcements.

There were not many people consulting at the front desk.

"I want to participate in today's magician magic awakening test and adventurer qualification test. It hasn't started yet, right?" Lake asked a female receptionist behind the counter, who was looking at a paper filled with words in her hand.

"Uh, yes, sir." The female receptionist put down the information in her hand and turned to take out a piece of information and a pale yellow blank from the side. Paper.

"The magician's test is approved and authorized by the Magician Association and personnel are dispatched. The registration price is slightly more expensive, which is four silver coins. The adventurer qualification test requires one silver coin, and the total payment is five silver coins."

Lake took out five coins from his coat pocket, bright silver coins engraved with the image of Tulane's past ruler, Tulane VII, pressed them onto the table, and then pushed them out.

"Please leave the name of the tester and the relevant resident certificate to facilitate subsequent file records. Then we will immediately report to the test side and make arrangements. Ah... By the way... the magic test has started and will end at about one o'clock in the afternoon. It is recommended that you give priority to the magic power test, and then the adventurer qualification test."

Just when the female receptionist got up to report Ina's information, a voice suddenly cut into the three of them.

"I'll take them there."

Ina followed the sound and saw a brown-haired gentleman in a purple and black mage's robe standing quietly on the side of the counter. He wore a wide pointed hat and held a lit cigarette on the fingertips of his right hand. There was a faint spark. He was still devouring the tobacco in his cigarette. The nails on his index and middle fingers were light yellow. He was obviously a tobacco lover who didn't like using pipes.

He definitely didn't come from somewhere to chat, but appeared suddenly without any warning before, as if emerging from space.

"Mr. President SHU Xi!" The female receptionist who got up immediately greeted the visitor respectfully, and at the same time looked at the two people she was receiving from time to time.

SHU Xi nodded, indicating that he knew that the other party was not at work.

Then he turned around and smiled: "Good morning, little Ina, and my old friends."

"Uncle SHU Xi!"

"Good morning, President of the Idle Man." Unlike Ina's enthusiasm, Lake looked at her with a rather strange look.

The magic awakening test is still relatively rare among thunder stones. First, because the population of small cities is small, the number of people who awaken to magic power every year is even rarer, so there is no need to hold it frequently. Second, this requires sending a certain number of magicians to the scene.

As the manager of the guild and the highest-ranking magician in the city, SHU Xi just doesn't want to be the leader of the union, the association, and even the nobles who manage the city, who will strongly demand that he be the organizer and reviewer.

As for the other party appearing here now, there is probably only one possibility.

He missed work again...

It seems that you can't say that. After all, if you are still in the guild, you can only be considered as not being in your own office area and not working.

"I just took time out to drink a cup of coffee and taste a cigarette." SHU Xi put the cigarette to his lips, took a deep breath and exhaled a burst of white smoke from his mouth and nose.

"Besides, receiving test apprentices is also an important job."

"Okay, no more talk. The second batch of test lists will be announced soon. If we go to the site now, we might be able to find a place for Xiao Ina."

...

The testing location is not located in the main guild building.

Although the front hall was full of sour vomit, stinky sweat, and the smell of wheat mixed with alcohol, the words union and grandeur were not even close to each other, but there was no doubt that it occupied a large area.

"At least there are more than 80 acres of land!" Ina thought as she followed SHU Xi and Lake on the corridor and looked at the green lawns outside, like the training grounds of two large ranches.

In a city protected by city walls and with soldiers maintaining order and ensuring the enforcement of laws, it would be difficult for even ordinary knights or knights to buy such land.

This gave Ina some new and specific understanding of the size of the Adventurer's Guild, one of the three major human organizations in the records.

The journey is not far, and even when you come out of the back door of the union hall, you can directly see the building with towering exterior columns, complicated decorations, and a classical Gothic church style.

The three of them stopped in front of his door, which was a tall wooden door with two half-open doors and full of unknown runes and line carvings.

Obviously this is the destination, and after this is the starting point of countless magicians.
