Rising from the embarrassment and embarrassment, the task must continue. Neither Jin Shaolan nor Finley thought that Pilgin was relying on his identity as Lavion's real apprentice to make things difficult for them, although the other party scolded them like an apprentice of personal dependence in the Middle Ages, but the two of them were no longer fledgling stunned, and their hearts were very clear. It is true that someone humiliated them and made them almost lose face.

But this man is not the harsh Pilkin, and the humiliating thing is that they are too relaxed in their relative safety environment.

"Well, we're like ignorant full-time boarding school boys," Finley sighed and shook his head, smiling a little at himself, "—there's still a lot to learn." ”

"Especially in this deadly space." Jin Shaolan nodded sincerely. He brought another stack of white paper and spread it on a wooden table in the hall, "Captain Pirkin is willing to wake us up, which makes me uncomfortable and grateful. ”

As fellow contractors, Pirkin didn't have to point out their faults at all. He could pretend to be happy to approve and let the two of them ask for their own hardships, and it was also Jin Shaolan and Finley, two fools who thought they had a plan, who broke through the sky with low ratings at that time. Not to mention that what he gained after he bluntly said it may not be an acknowledgement, but most of the time he was angered by the other party. Not only that, but Pilguin had previously shared with them the experience he had explored in the space for free, which also made them even more ashamed. On the white paper spread on the table, Jin Shaolan and Finley wrote and drew against the map and began to discuss the next plan of action.

Just as they were seriously exchanging information about the situation in the village that they had learned not long ago, Finley suddenly let out a "huh". His pupils dilated slightly, giving him a "fugue"-like feeling. But the object of his communication is still himself, Jin Shaolan can be sure, even if what he said sounds a little inexplicable:

“…… Yes, yes, Elsie, you're right, as far as the newcomers are concerned, the reports of these two children are quite thorough. It's my bias to think it's too superficial.

"As you can see, teacher. And the two of them weren't formal mage apprentices, let alone one of them who was new to the system's magical studies. You see here, and here...... All the places worth paying attention to, the two of them have all marked them out in detail......

"What, not a formal apprenticeship......? Oh yes, I read the book myself and read it confused. For a week, the apprentices wouldn't come and do the basics, tsk! ……

"That's not all, teacher. How long have the two of them been here? Not even settled yet. Formal apprentices are probably ...... in this diligence

“……”

After the "retelling", Finley's gaze returned to focus, "I...... My summon is following the squad leader...... I can borrow its auditory and ......," subconsciously, Finley muttered as he explained. His eyes widened in surprise, and he didn't know if the gold-rimmed glasses had slipped off. Jin Shaolan also looked at Finley in surprise, and the quill between her fingers fell to the ground silently. At the same time, both received a hint from the Nightmare Mark:

"With your assistance, the Eye of Violet's investigation of the flow of Karazan's magic has been further fleshed out."

"Side Quest: Arcane Perturbation completed (this quest can be submitted repeated)."

"Thanks to the approval of the apprentice leader, Pilkin, Master Lavion is very satisfied with your work, and you receive an additional 10% of the money."

"Thanks to the approval of the apprentice class leader, Pilkin, Master Lavion is very satisfied with your work, and you gain an additional 5% of your reputation."

……

The two looked at each other for a long time in surprise. There was a silence, a slight touch of warmth and warmth, which flowed through their hearts at the same time.

After ...... door squeak, Jin Shaolan and Finley, who were busy studying the route, raised their heads from the table at the same time. It was none other than Pilkin, and before the two men who stood up could speak, he strode forward.

"Rejoice yourselves!"

He said, slamming the two reports on the table with a straight face:

"I'm sure you've been notified of the space, and my teacher, Mr. Lavion, has approved both of these reports. The so-called 'investigative report', which is as dry as a winter fig, will be lucky, and I hope you don't expect that good luck next time. I'll ask you two, 'Teacher' and 'Juniper Nuts', you're contractors, not dudes flying in from Hawaii for a vacation! In the next survey, I hope you will come up with results that are more in line with your identity! ”

Pilgin certainly couldn't have known that Finley could eavesdrop on the summons, but he didn't say a word about the conversation between himself and Lavion. Not only that, but this serious and old-fashioned middle-aged man still didn't mince words about them, and after putting down this ridicule, he left without looking back.

There's no need to say anything more. Even for the sake of Pilkin's squad leader's cold face, they have to be worthy of themselves and act as a person, don't they?

In the following investigation, the two no longer investigate separately, but act together. The crystals that record data can be measured together at a distance, and asking for clues from the ghosts of the villagers allows the two to ask different villagers at the same time, and they can also check each other's missing notes, which not only expands the search range, but also strengthens the cooperation between each other and improves efficiency. For example, the measured data can be compared and analyzed by Finley, and when looking for clues, Jin Shaolan, an excellent young director, is good at guiding and observing subtle expressions and body language changes, and the advantages did make them ask some situations that they had ignored before. But when they came back at noon to deliver the report that the two had worked together, what awaited them was a reprimand from Pilkin. However, Jin Shaolan and Finley were no longer full of sorrow, and the good intentions under the surface of Pilkin's strict attitude won them touching and gratitude.

At lunchtime, Pilgin was not present at the apprentices' dining room. Although they had understood his hidden kindness under the old-fashioned surface, Jin Shaolan and Finley were relieved.

"—Fragrant Subo soup! Two young gentlemen, try Aunt Cook's handiwork! ”

A kind middle-aged woman with a smile on her face "bang" put the wooden tray in her hand on the table, and said happily. "Taste it, it's best when it's still hot!"

The two of them thanked each other happily and began to enjoy the delicious freshly baked lunch. Subo soup is a kind of soup similar to borscht in the real world, Karazan is located in a place surrounded by mountains, and there are a large number of ghosts, ghosts, mana creatures and void creatures, so compared to Chenguang Town, it is also early autumn, and it is already a little chilly to be outdoors here for a long time.

The always kind and cheerful Aunt Cook was Archmage Medivan's cook, and after the Archmage left, she remained in his mage tower to do her best. Every time a new apprentice arrives, she is enthusiastic and uses her best cooking skills to prepare three meals for them. Although the apprentices were mostly confined to the kitchen with the servants of the Mage's Tower, Aunt Cook always prepared the sumniest meal possible for the servants as far as they could. Although the apprentices who eat at the dinner always leave in a hurry, the next time they have the opportunity to entertain a new apprentice, Aunt Cook is as warm as ever. This made Finley and Jin Shaolan sigh for a while, but they didn't know what to say, and finally could only praise her wonderful cooking skills, and use their most impatient attitude to taste Aunt Cook's carefully prepared lunch.

For, like the other servants of the Tower of Medivan, the kind-hearted Aunt Cook had unwittingly become a ghost and an apparition, unaware of it, and was still bustling with great flamboyance for the guests who had come to Karazhin—yes, these gentlemen and ladies were also ghosts lost in Karazhin's troubled time.
