Chapter 338: Mediocre Ambition
On this morning, in the north of Riley, in the usual sparsely populated street, at this moment, a large and elegant house was full of people. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the middle of the crowd, a mage named Sean turned his head, looked around, and couldn't help but sigh: "There are really enough people here, have all the mages in the city come here?"
His companion, the mage Simon, looked impatient and whispered, "It's miserable, there are a lot of rich people here. Hey, if we didn't get a single robe, wouldn't we have bought these two invitations for nothing?"
As he spoke, he had a pained expression on his face.
If there's one thing that's been the hottest thing in town lately, it's the invitation to this exhibition.
In the past few days, in the black market of Riley City, the price of invitations has been speculated to the price of fifteen gold coins each. Although it is not a sky-high price, you must know that this is something that the organizer gives out for free, and it doesn't cost a penny!
Speaking of the organizers, though. In order to be able to see the whole exhibition, most mages are still willing to spend this money.
This kind of thing has been lost for many years, but it has reappeared in the world today-this kind of rare thing, even if you don't have the desire to buy it, as a mage, you will at least want to take a look at it. What's more, I heard that several big names have already gotten the robes, and all kinds of praises are full of praise, which is even more exciting.
Like the two of them, they are both serious battle mages, with a little savings, hoping to get one or two suitable robes on this trip, so as to improve their combat ability.
It's just that, looking at the scene in front of them, their hearts also began to beat drums.
"No way. If you can't buy it, you should come over and pay for the tickets. Sean reassured.
"You're too unambitious. Simon shook his head and said very resolutely, "With the robes, maybe I can explore the Dark Forest alone." How much money do you have, lend me some. I'm going to get my hands on it today!"
"This ......"
Just as Simon wanted to borrow money, suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd in front of him.
Eh......
Finally opening the door?
The two of them immediately came to the spirits.
With the creak of the door opening, everyone looked up and saw that at the door, the young mage who had recently been in the limelight in Riley City - Benjamin. He was dressed in formal clothes, his demeanor was calm, and he was followed by more than a dozen people, and slowly walked out of the door.
And those behind him are either deep and mysterious mages, or tall and mighty mercenaries. They stood in two teams, neatly following Benjamin, and there was a silent momentum in their movements.
Suddenly, most of the people showed some surprise.
"He looks so young. β
"When will I get to this point?"
"I heard that the mages under him are very powerful, and not long after the formation of the mercenary group, they have already been promoted by two levels in a row......"
All kinds of earnest whispers spread among the crowd. As for the protagonist of the discussion, he also showed a smile at the moment and nodded to the crowd.
"I've kept everyone waiting. Probably because the mages couldn't wait, Benjamin's speech was brief, "We all feel honored to have so many people here. Without further ado, now, everyone can enter. β
With that, he turned back and made way for people to enter. At the same time, two mercenaries who seemed to be doormen also stepped forward, walked to the door, and began to check the identities of the visitors in turnβthe mages in the front row handed them the invitations, they nodded, confirmed that there was no problem, and welcomed the mages into the gate one by one.
And just like that, the exhibition officially began.
The mercenaries are very efficient, it seems that they have rehearsed many times before, and there are several mages behind them to support them. As a result, the mage with the invitation was respectfully invited in, and occasionally a few guys who wanted to fish in troubled waters were politely "invited" to the scene.
Soon, Sean and Simon arrived at the door. Compelled by this momentum, they looked a little reserved, and handed the invitation to the two big men who were a head above them without saying a word. The big man bowed, and they obediently followed the group into the gate.
However, as soon as they walked in, the world before them took on a new look.
Unlike the somewhat crowded queues, the hall was bigger than they expected, with bright windows and aromas of food and wine. Not far ahead, tables and chairs were lined up like obsessive-compulsive disorder, and many mages were already shuttling through them, looking at the robes placed in glass covers.
This meeting really made the two a little unexpected. Suddenly, they even thought they had entered some kind of high-end restaurant.
"Do you want anything to drink?" and as they thought, it didn't take long for a waiter to greet him with a plate of wine glasses and ask respectfully.
Simon was stunned: "I want to ...... Do you want money?"
The waiter shook his head and said, "The food and drinks we have here are all free." If you need it later, you can pick it up yourself. β
Hearing this, the two mages glanced at each other, and the surprise in their eyes was self-evident.
"Thanks, we don't need it yet. β
Finally, Sean said this and sent the waiter away first. Then, they looked at each other again, and they all smiled wryly on their faces.
"I think...... We're definitely not going to be able to shoot anything. β
From the moment they walked through the door, the exhibit was written from head to toe with one word - "expensive". The generosity and generosity of the organizers scared them a bit. And with such a pen, it will definitely not be soft to recycle.
At that moment, they even felt that they had strayed into another world.
They turned their heads to look at Benjamin, who was chatting and laughing with the other mages in the hall, a look of envy in their eyes.
At such a young age, if it were them, they would definitely be messing around behind the teacher at the moment. Look at the others again, but they already have their own mage power, mixed to a height that is difficult for them to reach.
The gap between people is really incomparable.
"They're in this power now...... Are you still hiring?" asked Simon, who was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly spoke.
"I heard...... They added a couple of newcomers some time ago. Sean's expression was hesitant at first, and then became a little embarrassed, "But, like us, would people be interested in recruiting?"
It's not that he doesn't have self-confidence, it's just that they know what kind of person they are.
Even if they become mages by chance, they are not the kind of people who are extremely talented. Mediocre teachers, mediocre talents, mediocre opportunities...... In all fairness, their lives are still passable, and the gangster mercenary group and the gangster mage circle can also save some savings. There are many people who are worse off than them, and they don't seem to have anything to complain about.
However, as they continued to look upward, they could still see those who stood taller. That gesture was the envy of them. Although at the moment, they look no different from every mediocre mage, in their hearts, they still retain a little ambition to climb up.
They don't want to continue this mediocre life until they die. They want to stand taller.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have come here.
As a result, here again, they once again appreciate the cruelty of reality. Dreams are the source of all suffering. Mediocre people should go down to mediocrity, and don't dream of being unique and different. Without the two of them, the sun won't rise a few minutes later tomorrow.
How could that Gen Benjamin ask for them?
There are countless mages like them, and when they are thrown into the crowd, they will not be found when they turn around. With such mediocrity, how can such a menacing new force be interested in them?
Simon shook his head, grabbed Sean's shoulder, and said seriously, "Do you really want to go over like this for the rest of your life?" β
Sean was a little surprised, and hurriedly persuaded, "It's not okay...... When you get out of the mercenary group, it's hard to find another one. β
Simon's expression was unusually determined.
"When you open the door, you can see the people behind Master Benjamin. He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Don't be a mage, even those mercenaries are in a posture of giving up their own lives, as if they are an irreplaceable part of this world, and they are important characters with names and surnames." β
"You mean ......"
Simon nodded and said slowly, "I want to be like that, too." β
