In fact, the back-to-back version of the code still didn't work out in the end. The name of Yuanye Tavern and Xu Zheng has already spread far and wide in Xiacheng District, and with the fame of new wine sales, it has gradually spread to Zhongcheng District, so after the news of the snack bar recruiting people spread, applicants flocked to the city, and the momentum of stepping through the threshold was large.
Of course, the job of selecting people is left to Xiao Bangjia to do, otherwise he will be too idle as the store manager. Xu Zheng calmed down and devoted himself to studying magic and magic arrays.
Xu Zheng has a faint feeling in his heart that it seems that truly mastering these two things is the key to a happy life in the future.
This life is not as good as the previous life, the time and space in the previous life are prosperous in science and technology, and people can use technology and culture to change the natural world and improve their lives. And in this life, even if you are in the imperial capital of Zion, you can feel the backwardness of science and technology, it seems that this time and space and the time and space of the previous life are taking a completely different evolutionary path, so the first thing that Xu Zheng thinks of is magic as a weapon to transform the natural world and improve life.
This thing that did not exist in the previous life is so widespread and popular here, it would be a pity not to make good use of it.
In fact, the utilization rate of magic in this plane is indeed extremely low, which can be seen from the pitiful number of mages. It seems that this powerful skill is inherently marked as a dislike for the poor and loves the rich, completely insulated from the poor. This status quo is completely unacceptable to Xu Zheng, who is deeply rooted in his brain with the idea of equality of all beings.
If it is a universal thing, why can it only be used by the aristocracy or the rich and rich? Although the nature of magic dictates that this expensive skill cannot be supported by ordinary people, there is certainly a way to improve the situation and make it a skill that everyone can learn. Xu Zheng thought so.
So, is there a better way to mobilize magic so that everyone can enjoy its benefits?
With this thought in mind, Xu Zheng threw the recruitment to Xiao Bangjia, and plunged into the Ogma Library and began to research.
Xu Zheng, a layman of Magic Gate, made unilateral wishful thinking efforts without success, and studied it single-handedly for several days without success. However, this aroused Xu Zheng's stubborn temper, and the more tricky the matter, the more he had to stiffen his neck. It's a pity that there are some things in the world that don't necessarily have results if you make efforts. For several days in a row, he buried himself in the Ogma library and studied hard, but Xu Zheng's idea of universalizing the use of magic still made no progress.
On this day, Xu Zheng was meditating on the breakthrough of magic research in the firefly shop that had not yet opened, when he suddenly heard someone outside the door: "Is Xu Zheng here?"
Listening to the voice, it seems to be a little girl, the voice is crisp and beautiful, like a clear groan when the wind blows the silver bells. After a pause, he didn't remember any little girl he knew in the imperial capital, Xu Zheng was a little surprised, got up and responded, "I am." ”
Outside the door came a little girl in a strange robe, about eleven or twelve years old, with a lovely apple face, looking him up and down with round eyes.
"Are you Xu Zheng?" the little girl said, "I'm Hamier." ”
Looking at the round apple face, Xu Zheng was once again sure that he didn't have this person in his memory. "Something?" Xu Zheng said tentatively.
"I'm fine, I'm just curious about what you look like. They're looking for you. The little girl smiled and said, "I thought it was some kind of amazing character, but it turned out that he was only two or three years older than me." But—-" The little girl lengthened her voice: "What a strange black hair and black eyes and black eyebrows. Hmm, it's weird, it's not pretty good. ”
"Hamil, don't be naughty. As he spoke, two old men came in from outside the door, and Xu Zheng recognized them as the two old men he saw when he first went to the Ogma Library and realized the existence of the Heart of the Magic Element, García Marcos and Forrest Gan.
Hamier smiled sweetly at Xu Zheng and stood beside Garcia obediently.
Xu Zheng looked at the two old men, scratched his scalp, and said, "How did you find me?"
Garcia was amused in his heart, a little skin monkey, is it difficult for you to find it? The limelight was so strong, and he left his name, and sent someone to Xiacheng District to inquire, and as soon as the name Xu Zheng was reported, countless long-tongued characters such as seven aunts and eight aunts and three uncles and four uncles were immediately drilled out to report the news of Xu Zheng. Dare to love this kid has long been a popular figure in Xiacheng District, almost everyone knows it, and no one knows it. So although it took so long to come to the door, what Xu Zheng did since the separation, Garcia's desk was piled up with a large number of reports handed in by the students' eyeliner, which was so detailed that Xu Zheng went on the trumpet several times a day and how long he squatted in the thatched pit, all of which were recorded like running water accounts.
In order not to let the two-person student be scared to death, Garcia smiled kindly: "Yes, it's really hard to find." We searched for days. ”
Forrester nodded, and began to slander his old friend's falsehood. What do you mean by looking for so many days? Look at the hypocrisy of this smile...... Obviously, he found it on the same day, but he didn't dare to come for fear of scaring him away, and then it appeared that Prince Bruce and Baron Leo were always wandering around Xu Zheng with unknown intentions before they didn't come to the door......
However, this false smile did not last long, and the fire mage's usual urgency was revealed, and the speed was so fast that Forrester couldn't stop it, and Garcia said, "Actually, we came to the door to ask you something." Do you want to be our apprentice?"
Please, are we coming to ask for help? Forrester hurriedly corrected his expression: "We want to take you as an apprentice, is that okay?"
Belch?
What is the situation? Xu Zheng was stunned for a moment.
Said cautiously: "Take me as an apprentice, why?"
Forrester blushed for a while, rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and said, "The extreme magic affinity you showed that day made us very excited, so ......"
Compared with Forrester's subtlety, Garcia's words are very naked, "The best student, everyone wants it." How? Would you like to?"
Yes, of course I do. If you don't want to have a good leader in your studies and research? If you don't soak in the library for a few days, you may not know it, but after a few days of soaking, García Marcos and Forrest Kim, two mentors with outstanding halos, can still not know their deeds, then their eyes and ears will be white. The question is, why does it feel so weird? Is there such a teacher who comes to the door to beg for apprentices?
So Xu Zheng nodded hurriedly, and couldn't help asking, "Why me?"
Seeing Xu Zheng nodding, the two old men felt a burst of ecstasy in their hearts, and they actually gave birth to a sense of exhaustion that had settled. You must know that the minds of the two have been hanging on Xu Zheng's body for a long time, and Bruce and Jimmy have been revolving around Xu Zheng all day long, and they don't know what they are thinking, which adds a lot of psychological pressure to the two for no reason. Of course, it is easy to accept a teenager from the lower city as a student, but once you get involved with the aristocracy, things are no longer simple. Fortunately, Bruce didn't know what the reason was, and there was no sign of involving Xu Zheng in high society at all, which made the two old men breathe a sigh of relief.
Xu Zheng saw that the two old men were all happy, and couldn't help asking, "Why me?" I don't have much money, it seems that it takes a lot of money to learn magic, right?"
"I have!" Garcia patted his chest, and was overjoyed, as long as Xu Zheng could agree to be an apprentice, he would give any benefits.
"I still don't understand why it's me when there are so many teenagers who want to learn magic? I don't believe a pie will fall on my head for no apparent reason. Say, what do you fancy about me?" Xu Zheng said.
Of course, the two can't say anything about the bet. "How to describe it," Forester tried to explain, "It's like a bard who comes across a good story or a good song and wants to learn it and sing it to others." It's like a painter suddenly having a flash of inspiration and thinking of a good work. Or a lapidary who sees a fine unpolished gemstone and thinks about how to make it shine as it should. Both of us are mentors, do you understand? Mentors are the profession of teaching puzzle solving, and it is really exciting to see the ability you showed that day. In our life, being able to teach an outstanding student is the greatest achievement of our life, can you understand?"
Xu Zheng nodded, he could understand completely. As a mentor, the goal of life is to fill the world with peach and plum, and it is very satisfying to see students achieve something. It's just that he is so special and valued in the eyes of the two old men, Xu Zheng is a little uneasy in his heart.
Xu Zheng was very moved and grateful for the love of the two old men, and said: "I'm afraid that I am a rotten wood, and I can't carve it if I want to." ”
Forrester smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, whether you are rotten wood or not, we know better than anyone else." Garcia nodded incessantly.
Xu Zheng said embarrassedly, "What do I need to do to become a student of the two?"
Seeing Xu Zheng's somewhat confused appearance, Forrester and Garcia couldn't help but like it even more. Garcia said: "Lao Wang Ba and I are also from poor people in Xiacheng District, and we don't have those red tapes, just say that you are our students." Look, this is my gift for my apprentices. As he spoke, he handed over a small sheepskin hand-tie.
Xu Zheng stretched out his hand to take it, flipped it over, and saw that it was written: Fire magic experience. couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "This thing is too valuable, it's a lifetime effort, how can you give it to me?"
Garcia smiled and said, "I'll give it to you." But you can't understand it now, so keep it first, and then look at it later. ”
Unwilling to lag behind, Forrester also took out his experience and handed it to Xu Zheng, saying: "I'll give you this first, put it away, and I'll see it later, my alchemy laboratory, you can take whatever you like." With that, he glanced at Garcia smugly.
Garcia glared at Forrester in annoyance. is shameless, and the alchemy master has a lot of weird things, which can't compare to him. I have nothing to do with it except ordinary magic, and when I think of this, I look at Forrester with hatred.
Xu Zheng didn't see the open and secret fight between the two old men, and was holding the two sheepskin rolls in his hand in a daze. He is not a fool, and he will not be unaware of how valuable these two things are. How should the two old men repay him for doing this?
