Chapter 140: The Families with Their Own Thoughts (Fourth Update)
"Josephine."
Daria froze in place.
She wondered if she had misheard something.
Josephine on the side raised her head in surprise, she never thought that the person selected was actually herself as a foil.
She never had the luxury of expecting herself to become a wizard.
At this time, Daria on the side moved, and quickly pulled Josephine's hand.
"Josephine, go. The wizard called you. With a stiff smile on her face, Daria, whose eyes were deformed, grinned exaggerated at the corners of her mouth, and stammered, "You're a wizard, go, go......"
It was the first time Josephine had seen such a Daria.
In the past, Dariya had always had a cold face, raised her proud forehead, and even not so long ago, asked her dirty hands not to touch her.
But now the situation is reversed, and it is she who takes the initiative to grab her hand.
Daria looked at Josephine, she didn't expect that her friend's talent was still above her, although the roll call may not be divided according to talent, but she didn't dare to be careless.
Either way, Josephine was already a wizard's apprentice.
And it is also a β student with a significantly higher status, which can be seen from the proportion of the number of bracelets. Maybe after he enters the student, he will have to rely on her to say a few kind words for himself in front of the wizard, at least before he can achieve the status of β student, he must restrain the arrogance in his heart......
Daria weighed the pros and cons in her mind for a moment.
With Josephine coming to power, the roll call of the wizard's apprentice came to an end.
Taking out α bracelet, Jiang Feng began to name the people needed by the Materialist Academy.
When Jiang Feng saw the first person, he was somewhat prepared in his heart, because this person had already left a good impression on him.
In fact, whether in the Federation or here, not all gold will shine, and there will always be more buried in the earth than in the ground, but gold is gold, and it always shines when it appears.
"Serem." Looking at the rest of the people, Jiang Feng's gaze fell on a boy, and then called out the name.
Serem was stunned for a moment, just like Dris, but he reacted quickly, and walked up with a look of excitement in his eyes.
After a standard aristocratic etiquette, he said, "Serem has seen the great chief wizard, may your staff shine like the midday sun." ”
Jiang Feng nodded with a smile and said, "Stretch out your hand." ”
Serem didn't dare to hesitate when she heard this, and quickly stretched out her left hand.
Jiang Feng took the α bracelet and brought it to Serem with his own hands, for the most talented person in this materialist academy, Jiang Feng decided to pay enough attention, because the problems in the Thorn Wasteland are very much in need of such people to work.
For example, the management of nuclear power plants in the future......
Seeing this scene, everyone cast envious eyes.
That's the bracelet that the wizard wore himself!
What an honor.
Serem hurriedly knelt on the ground and said excitedly, "Serem wishes to serve the wizard forever and forever." ”
Jiang Feng was very satisfied with Serem's reaction, nodded and said, "Well, let's go down." ”
"Yes, Wizard."
Serem got up and stepped aside, and where he stood, the others naturally gave up some gaps, and only Driss dared to come and stand side by side with Serem.
Looking at these apprentices who were selected in turn, Rembert's eyes rolled, and then he hurriedly took out a transaction voucher of 10,000 UBS, handed it to the servant, and said: "Go, try to purchase magic crystals, not too much, but there must be one." ”
Magic stones cannot be bought, and the families who own them generally do not sell them. However, it is not too difficult to buy magic crystals, there are many vicious demonic beasts in the Thorn Wasteland, and occasionally mercenaries come back from hunting, and they will stop by to shoot the crystals behind the heads of demonic beasts hunted on the way.
For alchemists, this is a must-have alchemical material. For wizard apprentices, although it is not as good as magic stones, it is still a good substitute, which can be used to assist in meditation, or to arrange magic circles and assist in spell casting, etc.
These magic crystals were a personal gift from Rembert to curry favor with these apprentices, and naturally they could not go to the account of the town hall. The Karel family had no one of the right age to take the exam, so they had to recruit these apprentices to secure their family's position.
"My subordinates understand." The servant hurriedly got up and left.
As time passed, all eighty α bracelets were sent out, and a full hundred people stood behind Jiang Feng.
"The selection is over, Rembert, send those people back." Jiang Feng turned to Rembert and said.
Hearing this, Rembert hurriedly walked in front of the rest of the people, waved his hand with a cold face and said, "Okay, you noisy stupid pigs, go back to me, the selection is over." ”
"What's the end?"
"How is this possible, no, I don't believe it."
"Haven't you even read the test papers?"
Some people questioned it, but there were not many voices, because they knew that the person who made the decision was a wizard.
"Why, do you want me to send you? A bunch of guys who don't know how to count. Lembert stared at his fat eyes, and he still looked a little majestic.
You're welcome, they're all unchosen waste.
The Karel family is also a well-known family in Boulder City, and he, the mayor, is the first dog leg of the wizard, and his status in this wizard territory is second only to the apprentice of the wizard.
Everyone left, Jiang Feng turned to the person behind him and said, "Okay, you can also go home now, remember to come to the city hall in a month, and I will take you to the wizard tower then." ”
"Got it, great wizard." Everyone said.
Rembert came over at this moment, and Shi Li said, "Great and wise wizards, let me send these adults away. ”
Rembert's thoughts Jiang Feng knew, and his small actions did not escape Jiang Feng's perception, but he didn't care about these, and Rembert could be regarded as helping him solve the troubles of these apprentices.
With everyone gone, the whole of Boulder City began to change dramatically, first with a down-and-out baron suddenly having a lot of money, and then with a beautiful nobleman having his father's head cut off. As for some merchant families suddenly announcing their future heirs, this is already a trivial matter. But Serem's family, which became one of the largest merchant families in Boulder City in a single day, grew at an unprecedented rate.
With a gentle footstep, Josephine stepped through the door of her house, expecting that she would be greeted by a servant.
But she was wrong, and it was Daria who appeared.
Daria, who was not selected, returned home as quickly as she could, and then told her father about Josephine's selection.
As soon as Brian heard Daria's words, he hurriedly prepared a big gift, which was a ten-year-long business contract, which Kanis had given to Brian before, and Kanis gave up eighty percent of his interests for Brian's thigh, but Brian still didn't agree and kept saying that he wanted to think about it.
Brian hurriedly found someone to draw up a new contract, the most important thing was to switch the two families inside, and now Brian is willing to give up 85% of the profits.
Josephine, who was ushered into the hall by Daria, happened to see Brian with a smile on his face and put a contract in front of Kanis, but Kanis was drinking tea and didn't even look at it.
"Brian, I need to think about this, you know there are a lot of people coming to us right now to talk about cooperation." Kanis said lightly.
Brian hurriedly nodded and said, "I know, but the relationship between our two families is close, for the sake of the children's face." ”
At this time, the footsteps of Josephine and Daria attracted the attention of the two, and Kanis and Brian hurriedly greeted them.
"My dear daughter, you have finally returned." Reaching out to hug Josephine, Kanis said happily.
Carnes led Josephine to the throne and sat down.
"Josephine, no, Master Wizard Apprentice. Father is so happy today, I didn't expect that there would be an apprentice wizard in our family. Kanis excitedly said, "Really, God the Father is above!" I'm so incoherent that I don't know how to thank you for your kindness......"
Brian glanced at Daria.
Such an honor should have belonged to them, but he didn't dare to show a trace of reproach, after all, his daughter was the best friend of a wizard's apprentice, and he was counting on using this status to benefit his family.
Daria's expression stiffened a little, and she forced a smile.
All she wanted now was that what she had done to Josephine before, Josephine would not take to heart.
But......
Is this possible?
The positions of the two sides have been subtly reversed.
"Josephine, no, Master Wizard Apprentice. Greetings Brian. Brian Schleigh said.
Josephine was a little overwhelmed, and confusion crept into her eyes.
"Father, this ......"
"That's right, Brian plans to sign a ten-year contract with our family, but my father is still thinking about it." Kanis said.
Brian looked at Daria and winked.
Daria and Josephine have always had a good relationship, although he was not optimistic about their friendship before, but now the situation is different.
Daria nodded, then walked up with a smile, gently took Josephine's hand, and said softly, "Josephine, my good sister. My father is very sincere in cooperating with your family this time, and he gave up 85% of the profits, and your family is very cheap. ”
Kanis's face changed when he saw this scene, he didn't expect Brian to use such a shameless method.
Josephine looked at Daria, she was not stupid to be chosen to be a wizard, and after a short period of confusion, she quickly figured out what was in front of her.
When she was weak, this woman never cared about her feelings, and when she was in a bad mood, she teased her for fun, and spoke ill of her at will. The groveling self has never been her friend, formerly a foil in the social arena, but now a doll that can be utilized.
That smiling face made her feel a little disgusted inexplicably.
Josephine thought that perhaps their friendship should end there, and as for the contract, even if she made amends to Daria and her father.
With Josephine's nod, Kanis could only compromise and reluctantly signed the contract with Brian.
It's a sure thing to earn.
However, it is certainly not as profitable as working with the mayor's family.
Seeing the scene in front of her, Josephine felt that everything in front of her was so boring.
"I wish I could enter the wizarding world soon," the girl sighed inwardly and prayed with her eyes closed, "Let's make this month go by sooner." ”
