Jenny Perrault, a fourth-level rune master from the royal capital, was staying in her room, sorting out her few belongings.

Most of them were tools used to draw runes or draw circles, such as corrosion-resistant smearing sticks, carving knives mixed with pure gold powder, wedge-shaped scrapers, and pens of various types, in addition to the books and notes carefully collected over the years.

When she left the Mentor's Tower, she was only allowed to take that with her, and even two changes of clothes.

But Jenny Perrault still carefully arranged them, and then put these few personal belongings on the desk, cupboards, and bedside shelves, and when she was done, she sat in a chair in the center of the room, and quietly looked around the wood-paneled cottage, which could be described as rudimentary.

As the highest-ranking professional in the hundred-man team, she was given special attention: a solitary house. Even though it was a simple wooden hut that couldn't compare to the Mentor's Tower, Jenny knew that it was one of the few good houses in the camp, and that only the official craftsmen and another Mr. Mage were eligible to live in a separate house this time, and that hers was the largest of all the houses, which made her extremely satisfied.

After all, even if she lived in the Master's Tower, she only slept on the floor of the utility room, except that the walls around her were made of stone, and that abode was really not much better than here.

No, it was better here, at least the cabin was her own, and she didn't have to worry about being called in by her mentor to test potions and magic circles.

Jenny looked at everything in front of her silently, then looked down at her hands, thinking about the days ahead.

She is very aware of her awkward position, she is the highest professional in the middle of the team, but in fact, her real transcendent level is only a mage apprentice, rune master is a kind of craft work, except for the ability to cast spells and sense magic power, there is no essential difference from those carpenters and stonemasons, in fact, according to the habits of mages, the second-level Arcanist in the team should be the person with the highest status, so it is obvious - she, a mid-level professional, is the number.

At the same time, she knew very well that the legendary duke from seven hundred years ago could see this at a glance.

So how long can such an embarrassing person be treated seriously according to the rules and provided with an independent residence?

Probably until the Duke thinks he's given enough face to the king, or until anyone in the realm disputes the matter.

And at that time, the only thing that can guarantee her the qualifications to have a foothold in this land is this bit of craftsmanship in her hands.

After all, this is a camp under construction, and it has a lot of things to build, whether it is to make magic tools or process runes, it takes hands, and the lady of Hetty can't do everything, and she has a place for the rune master herself, and if she does it well enough, maybe she can get the approval of the lady - Jenny doesn't dare to expect too much, and it will make her satisfied to have a foothold in this place.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door, interrupting Jenny's thoughts.

She looked in the direction of the door with some surprise and nervousness, guessing who would come looking for her, but she did not stop because of this, but immediately got up and went to open the door: whoever was outside the door, it was best not to offend.

The door opened, and the person standing in the doorway made her breathe half a beat slower.

A tall figure, with short brown hair and deep eyes, was the owner of the land, the Duke of Gawain Cecil, who had been resurrected from seven hundred years ago, and next to this tall figure was the elegant and beautiful Lady Hetty, dressed in a long red dress.

The lord and the steward came in person, which made Jenny at a loss for a while, she couldn't help but think of her cranky thoughts just now, and became very worried: Could it be that this lord already thinks that this treatment for herself is too good?

When Jenny was slightly stunned, Gawain was looking at the girl in front of her, and couldn't help but look twice: this rune master from the royal capital should not have looked more than twenty years old, tall but thin, with a sickly feeling, she had long silver-white hair, but the long hair looked a little dry and messy due to neglect, the hair hung down on her cheeks from both sides, on the left side of her cheek, where the hair did not cover, but there was a large ugly scar- That scar was what made Gawain can't help but look twice.

They had completely affected the girl's otherwise delicate appearance, covering not only the left third of her face, but also down her neck, and Gawain didn't know the exact extent of the burn-like scar due to the obscuration of his clothes, but he guessed that it must have been caused by some rather terrible accident.

Soon, he realized that it was inappropriate to stare at a young girl like this, so he withdrew his gaze: "What, don't invite us in?" ”

Jenny seemed to wake up at this time, she let go of her body a little helplessly, and whispered nervously and reservedly: "Duke...... Lord Duke, you are here in person...... Is there any order to come in person? ”

"Just to see," Gawain took Hetty into the wooden house, and took a casual look: the room was not big, the bedroom and living room were completely connected, and he could see at a glance what furnishings were in it, and he saw that this was basically the simple furniture made by the carpenters of the territory, and there was no trace of personal belongings at all, so he judged that this Jenny Perrault was also quite depressed in the royal capital, as he had guessed, "How is it?" It's been two days since you got used to the camp, are you happy with your life here? ”

Jenny didn't know what the lord and the steward were going to do when they came to her humble hut in person, and she couldn't take the initiative to ask, so she could only answer Gawain's question: "Very ...... Very satisfied, honestly it has been better than I thought. ”

As she spoke, she brought two chairs to give the lord and the steward a place to sit, while she herself could only stand beside them: there were only two chairs in total.

"Imaginary?" Gawain glanced at Jenny curiously, "What do you imagine?" ”

Jenny was speechless when she heard this, but she had to answer, "At first...... I thought it would be a little tougher here. I heard that the camp has only been under construction for a little over a month, and that there are not enough people or anything, but I didn't expect that so many houses have been built here, and there is a dock to receive supplies from Tanzanian Town......"

"It's because everybody works so hard," Gawain laughed, "and to be honest, it's not that fast, I've seen how quickly a town can be built in a month." ”

That's on the earth with cement—Gawain added quietly in his mind.

Jenny was taken aback by Gawain's casual words, but then she understood in her own way: "Ah, you're talking about the Gondor Empire seven hundred years ago, right?" ”

"Pretty much the same thing," Gawain said casually, looking at the humble hut, "Well, the camp can only provide such living conditions now, but don't worry, the brick kiln factory has already begun to be built, and when there are enough bricks and tiles, I will let the people in the territory live in the brick houses as soon as possible." ”

Jenny: "...... Ha? ”

She had been waiting for Gawain to mention the issue of "too high salary" from the beginning, but after waiting for a long time, the topic was going in more and more directions, and now it was even diametrically opposed, she couldn't help but wonder if the ancient man in front of her was planning this camp according to the standards of the Gondor Empire back then, but then she thought - Gawain Cecil also pioneered from scratch and built the Ansu Kingdom with the ancestors, and his old man has experience in this regard, so he shouldn't analyze it randomly......

The bewildered Miss Rune Master began to analyze it indiscriminately.

Gawain didn't know what this rune master named Jenny was making up in his head, he just casually said a few words to open the atmosphere, and seeing that the atmosphere couldn't be opened, he simply changed the topic: "We came here today mainly to learn about your placement, to find out what needs you guests from afar have, and by the way, to understand yourself." ”

"Understand...... I? Jenny pointed to herself in surprise, "What do you mean?" ”

Hetty took out a piece of paper and pushed it in front of the other party: "Let me make it clear, we have read your information, you are a fourth-level rune master, but your mage level is ...... An apprentice? ”

Jenny's heart twitched.

Sure enough, the time to come is still coming.

The fourth-level runemaster level will not bring glory to herself, but the apprentice-level mage level is the truth, and this disparity does not mean talent, it will only make people associate her with "freaks".

Or even worse: a mage apprentice who was stuffed into the ranks as a mid-level professional, what did the Founding Guild from seven hundred years ago think? According to the ordinary aristocracy, he will inevitably regard this as a deception and insult, and it is possible to be angry about it, but he will not lose his temper with the king, so he can only vent his "lie itself".

The rune master from the royal capital bowed his head deeply, and pleaded guilty in the most humble and frightened tone: "I'm sorry, Lord Duke, and Lady Hetty, I have no intention of deceiving you, and I am willing to accept punishment for this......"

But Gawain suddenly interrupted her: "How did you do it? ”

Jenny was trying to organize the language in order to extinguish the "aristocratic anger" she imagined, but she didn't expect Gawain to not only be angry, but instead ask such a clueless question, and she was stunned.

Gao Wen thought that the other party didn't hear clearly, so he had to repeat his question again: "How did you complete those basic exercises of the rune master as an apprentice?" Can you sense the magic of multiple runes at the same time? Can you 'mana tune' runes? ”

Runemasters are indeed "craftsmen", and their labor is no different from that of masons in the eyes of professional mages, but Gawain is well aware that there are still differences, and they are very different:

Runemasters must not only draw circles according to the blueprints, they must also be able to actively modify and adjust the position of the runes, and they must also be able to tune and test the runes that are not so sure, and in order to do this, they must master the skills of sensing multiple runes and "mana tuning" the adjusted runes.

This is something that only a first-level mage can master!
