Sid Lester is 56 years old. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 In all fairness, at his age, he is still working in several remote villages outside of Gars City, a suburban city not far from the border, to screen and select new mages, which not only shows that he is down-to-earth and trusted, but also shows that he lacks ability and has no ambition to climb up.

That's not to say that the profession doesn't have mages his age or even older than him, but his colleagues basically have a glorious past, and it took a few ups and downs before they fell to this point in a failed political investment. He didn't know of a mage like him who had been doing this for thirty-five years.

He is not ashamed of it. Maybe in the past, he fantasized that he had a huge potential waiting to be discovered, and by chance, he might have somehow become the much-anticipated Third Turn, or even a legendary mage, or a respected badge maker, but that's all in the past. As I said before, Sid Lester is 56 years old.

There are differences between people. That's why his profession exists, and as someone who's been doing it for thirty or forty years, he's all too well aware of it. He knew that his ability was more than enough to do this, but if he wanted to go further, he would inevitably be insufficient. So, he was content to be a good, trusted selector, and he took pride in it.

Because of this, he is writing this letter now, absolutely not, and those who know him will never believe that it is for the purpose of striving for merit as a capital to climb up, he is simply out of a strong sense of responsibility and professional honor.

Despite this, there was a hint of guilt in his heart, and he hesitated for a long time before putting the letter in the messenger.

"He seems to be a good boy, and his loyalty to the Empire is unquestionable. Sid's hands began to tremble again, but this time not from shock and fear, but from hesitation and hesitation, "Just because I feel that strange aura on his magic emblem, he will become an enemy of the Empire - is that really possible?"

West German retracted his hand a little: "No, it was thirty or forty years ago that I received my training. The teacher also specifically explained that since the establishment of the empire five hundred years ago, I had never found anyone with this kind of aura, and I was not a very serious good student at that time, so I didn't pay much attention to that aura. That's right, I got it wrong......"

Sid thought so, and almost laughed: "yes, that's an old fool." I-"

"Hey, Master Sid, are you back? You've worked hard this year, we're going to have a banquet in the evening, do you want to come?" Mark Garth, the new lord of Garth City, was a good old man who knew him well, and this was only the third time he had seen Sid in the four years since he took office, but he acted like an old friend, sneaked up behind Sid, and slapped him on the shoulder.

Sid didn't hear what Mark was saying, all he knew was that after being frightened by Mark's joke that was not suitable for old age, he let go of his hand and didn't grasp the letter with the scarlet cover, and dropped it in the messenger.

The envelope with the flaming red cover and the letter representing the triple seal of the Imperial Ministry of Magical Administration, the Imperial Ministry of Education, and His Majesty the Emperor, respectively, had the highest priority in the messenger. It will touch the circle at the mouth of the letter as soon as it is put in, and it will be destroyed immediately, and the information in it will crowd out all other information in the transmission place and send it directly to the mage responsible for sending the message. Even if it wasn't normal business hours, the mage had to immediately use the items they were going to carry with them to send the letter's message to the relay station. Even if it was sent all the way to the imperial capital with such a priority, if His Majesty the Emperor did not see the letter until more than a day after the letter was sent due to various delays, everyone who handled it would be guilty of a serious crime.

To put it simply, even if West Germany had now obtained permission from the Lord of Mark to find the mage in charge of sending the letter as quickly as possible, the message of the letter would have passed through two transit stations and reached the city of Kevran, which is also three days away on horseback. Even if he had enough face to immediately use the portal to rush to the imperial capital through the approval of the three lords, the lord of the Garth City Lord, the president of the Garth Mage Association, and the head of the Gars branch of the Imperial Security Administration, I am afraid that this letter would have already been read in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor.

As for not intercepting the letter, but sending another letter to correct the content of that letter...... Even if he didn't think about how the top brass of the empire would feel about him arbitrarily occupying the communication channels and sending two letters that were meaningless in combination, he still clearly remembered that the regulations on this breath were all issued by His Majesty the Emperor himself, and he attached great importance to them, and His Majesty would rather take measures to kill the wrong person than let it go.

So, as soon as he threw the letter into the messenger, it was over, and the kid was finished. At least, from West Germany's point of view, there was nothing he could do.

Unaware of all this, Mark walked around to Sid and laughed excitedly, "Hey! I'm really scared of you, isn't I? I'm sorry, but you said it last time, you still think you're young, don't you? Why are you still so stupid? Speaking of which, the letter you just threw away seems to be a red envelope?

Sid glanced at Mark and felt a pang of exasperation, but his intellect told him that it was not Mark's fault, that it was a mistake in itself to write a special urgent letter without consideration—and that he did not actually write it without consideration. Still, he felt very uncomfortable, so he frowned: "No, no need. I thought -- I had to get out of Garth City as soon as possible. ”

Mark was stunned for a moment before he realized that Sid was answering his invitation to the banquet, scratched his head and laughed: "Okay, Master Sid, you are really busy with business and have worked hard. When are you free, can you come to Gars City to play with me?"

Sid looked at Mark with a strange look, swallowed, and nodded.

【God...... I really can't believe it, boy, you're fifteen-sixteen years old! As a sixteen-year-old male, with a person of the opposite sex who is not ugly, you don't have any bad intentions, and you are still playing hide-and-seek with a pure heart?!

"Do dragons really exist?" Brunei tilted his head a little confused.

[Now extinct - hell, I'm not talking to you about this, you retarded!]

"Hey, I heard you! You're around here, aren't you!" Su Yin's bell-like voice suddenly sounded near the bushes where Brunei was hiding, startling Brunei Si tremble, but fortunately, a gust of wind suddenly blew at this time, and he was not immediately discovered.

Brunei calmed down, breathed slowly, and at the same time spoke to the system silently, "Then what are you talking about?"

[Do you remember what I was going to say before!] I spent a whole chapter explaining some very basic settings, and when it came time to get to the most special part, which is also your golden finger part, you didn't listen!]

Brunei pursed his lips, bent down, listened to Su's footsteps with his ears, speculated on Su's location, and replied impatiently in his heart: "I told you, when I was playing with Su, I didn't want you to bother me." ”

[How can you be the protagonist of a scumbag like you! And the two of them play a hairy hide-and-seek! This is so hairy! Hey, it's almost a little good, okay?]

Brunei swallowed carefully, the movement was very slow, in fact, it could not be called swallowing, a more accurate description should be to say that he carefully let the saliva slowly down his throat. Therefore, although the wind had stopped, he did not make a sound that would reveal his location.

[Don't you feel disgusting...... Okay, okay, I'm your golden finger, and it's your freedom to use it however you like. You may not understand it yet, so let's let you experience my use value. I've said before that one of the key settings of this system is the special skill setting, right?

Sue didn't seem to be aware of the traces left by Brunei outside, but perhaps out of some kind of magical telepathy, or as a childhood sweetheart, she persevered in walking around the neighborhood, while shouting over and over again: "Brunei Si, I know you're here! Come out and let me catch it!

Brunei frowned, bit his lower lip, and was very anxious about the current situation, so his response to the system was also rude: "Please shut up, okay? It seems to you that Sue and I may be bored playing hide and seek. But for me, it's important!"

[I know, I know, listen to people, now I'm going to help you play hide and seek, okay?]

"Hah!" Sue suddenly let out a short, crisp laugh, "Footprints! I knew you were here!"

[If you continue like this, you won't be able to hide anymore, will you? Think about it, is there anything else you can do now except go out and admit defeat?]

Brunei frowned: "I don't know...... Say what you want to do. ”

[Hiding deeper in the bushes before she could get in, or slipping under her nose with the edge of her attention, you didn't even think about it, did you?

Brunei felt that he had been tricked and was in a bad mood: "Because what you said is simply impossible." ”

[No, it's you—you can't do it right now.] At the end of the day, it's because your stealth skills aren't high enough. 】

Brunei rolled his eyes: "So you're going to use some kind of 'special skill system', right? Okay, don't sell it." Say whatever you want. Is stealth a form of magic? You're going to teach me magic?"

[It's not magic, it's a skill -- like climbing a tree.] You can't climb trees, do you? But a lot of people don't need any magic to get to the top of a tree. The special skill system can help you enhance a certain skill - of course, the skill you rely on this system to enhance must also be used through this system-]

There was a sound of the trees beside him, and Sue's voice rang out very closely: "Huh, these trees are actually in a circle?

"Less nonsense. If you want to help, give me a boost and use it!"

[Hmm.] Then according to your requirements, increase the non-class-specific skill stealth from 20 to a maximum of 60 and consume 40 points of interest. Then, a sneak check of 1D100 is performed to obtain a random number between 0-100. 】

With the sound of the system's speech, I don't know why, a very clear image of two dice, one red and one black, appeared in Brunei's mind, and he couldn't get rid of it. Then, as the spin of the two dice slowed down, Brunei realized that it was different from the six-sided dice he had ever seen, that there were many more faces, and that the shape of the whole was closer to a sphere than a cube.

The dice stopped, and Brunei confirmed that each dice had ten sides.

The red one with the upper side has the number four, and the black one has seven.

[Test result: 47<60, the judgment is successful.] You have managed to hide yourself in the bushes. 】

At the same time, according to the previous requirements of the system, Brunei reluctantly hid in the bushes, lurking among the shadows of the branches and leaves, in his opinion, the system was completely intent on manipulating him, so obvious, how could it not be exposed?

"You're in this right, aren't you!" Su jumped into a circular clearing surrounded by trees, and then, Tsai carefully looked around, revealing a puzzled look, "Huh?

Sue's eyes rested on the trees around him, and Brunei felt very nervous, his blood flowing rapidly, and the sound of his heart beating like a drum sounded in his ears. Then, Sue's eyes swept over where Brunei was.

"......" Su pouted as if dissatisfied, "Not here?"

[How's this special skill system, it's pretty easy to use, right?]
