Chapter 293: The Despised Candidate

Medel's entourage is called potions brokers, and they squat in the halls of the association every day just to wait for a few talented apprentices.

The poorer the apprentices, the happier the agents are, because it means they can sign these potential rookie candidates for a small price.

"Medel, you're also a mid-level potions master, don't you feel ashamed to grab new people with us? ”

Someone ridiculed Medel, which caused more condemnation.

"You have to take care of it!" Medel gestured to his peers with a middle finger, and then spoke to Downton affectionately, "I now have more than twenty apprentices under my command, all studying in my luxurious laboratory, are you interested in entering?"

Medel's talent is average, and he is lazy and can't endure hardship, so he can't make an inch in potions, but he found that he is good at training apprentices, so he embarked on the path of an agent.

"I'm sorry. "Downton refuses, no matter how luxurious your laboratory is, it can compare to the hive? It is the laboratory of Ambreda, a biochemical potions company that is famous in all major planes, and the construction price alone is more than the construction of five royal palaces in Bethford.

"Are you a student or an apprentice? It seems that you are not in a good situation, and if you sign a contract with me, I can give you a grant immediately. ”

Medel's words made the agents around him stunned, generally everyone looks at the level of the candidates first, even if they fail in the exam, as long as they have potential, they will sign, but they are generally not as reckless as Medel, after all, no matter how small the signing fee is, it is also money.

"You know. "Medel despises those agents who have no eyes, no wonder you can't make money, don't you see that this boy is not at all different from other newcomers? This shows that people are in the chest.

Of course, the most important thing was that Downton had a Golden Crown Tree Pen in his pocket, and judging by his shabby clothes, it was clear that he could not afford such a replica worth thousands of gold coins, which meant that the pen was his reward, and the change of direction was a testament to his level of knowledge in Potions.

“xiexie。 I don't need to!" The exam must be filled out, so Downton took out the pen in advance, after all, he didn't want to open up the war space in public, but he didn't expect to be noticed by the careful Medel.

"Please fill out these two forms in detail, do not write false information, if you are caught, you will be disqualified from the exam for life. The hostess handed over the form and the inkwell.

"Xiexie!" After politely thanking him, Downton skimmed through the contents before picking up the quill in the inkwell. Careful writing.

"That's a good word. ”

Medel accosted him, reading Downton's information, and more than a dozen agents also leaned over, talking about it.

"It's really well written. ”

"It's only sixteen years old, and it's very promising. ”

"My Emperor Polo, look, he is actually a paladin in the career column, and he is also a second-order war, this qualification is too good. What kind of potions do you still have to learn, why don't you just become a paladin? Maybe in a few years. We will have another dragon-slaying demon in Frankfurt. ”

One agent screamed, and the others were also amazed, but they no longer had expectations for Downton, after all, a person's energy and time are limited, and it must have taken hard work to reach the second order of war at such an age. So how much time does he have to learn potions?

With the knowledge of the brokers, they naturally didn't know that there was a big library and an independent laboratory on this shijie.

Downton smiled wryly, supervised by Homer, an aesthete, how could his handwriting not be gorgeous.

"Huh, why are these two compartments empty?" an agent pointed to the location of the school, "if you haven't been to school." Fill in the name of the tutor and you're good to go. ”

Downton nodded and continued to fill out the form.

The agents are waiting to see who Downton's mentor is, basically they all know those famous potions masters, and from the name, you can roughly determine Downton's knowledge level and the price he needs to poach, but when Downton handed the form back to the receptionist, both boxes were blank.

"It can't be self-taught, right?" said an agent, but there was no admiration in his tone, but a hint of contempt.

"The form can't be blank. The receptionist checked it and handed the form back, "It doesn't matter if you haven't been to school, just fill in the name of the tutor you follow." ”

"I don't have a mentor. Downton was depressed, and he couldn't write Homer, for he feared that someone would know the whereabouts of the Grimoire by name.

"Self-taught?" the corners of Medel's mouth twitched, and his heart was half cold.

"Hmm!"

Hearing Downton's answer, the agents all scolded and walked away.

"It's a waste of time. ”

"Self-taught? If potions masters were self-taught, it wouldn't be the most lucrative profession with the highest barrier to entry. ”

"It's just whimsical, this is potions, you need to use your brain, it's not a sapper profession that can easily earn copper plates with a few muscle exercises. ”

"Boy, you're in the wrong place, go out and turn left, the Mercenary Guild is on another road. One agent joked, of course, if it weren't for Downton's rank that made them jealous, they would have said something even more ugly.

When the other candidates who went through the formalities heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief, and it turned out to be a fool.

"I understand that you want a decent career and want a good income, but Potions is really not something that can be achieved by hard work. Medel patted him on the shoulder, "You have to pay two hundred gold coins to take the exam, don't waste that money." ”

"Xiexie your reminder. Downton casually filled in the name of the tutor and handed it to the receptionist.

"Please pay the registration fee of 200 gold coins. The hostess kindly suggested, "Young man, you have a prerequisite for being a paladin than this." ”

"I know what I have to do?" Downton took out a stack of golden tickets from his pocket, and drew a thousand-denomination from it for the receptionist, no way, he only had this big one.

"I'm Deboro, you're a big guy!" Medel almost snapped his eyes out, and the other agents were alarmed by the words.

The people in the hall looked at Downton in disbelief, unable to connect his golden ticket with his shabby clothes.

"Look at this, please keep your normal expression. The hostess pointed a metal box at Downton, which was a photo of the admission ticket in case someone took the exam on her behalf.

Crack, the metal box burst into a cloud of flashes, and then spit out a photograph of Downton, a third-shrunken photograph from the gap below, with Downton's head on it, so lifelike that even the hairs could be seen.

Medel pestered Downton to speak, but received very little information, and most of the time he would not answer at all.

Fifteen minutes later, the hostess handed the admission ticket to Downton and patiently explained, "On the first day of next month, at eight o'clock in the morning, the exam will be taken in Room 303, Block B of St. George's School, and if you are half an hour late, you will be prohibited from entering." ”

The Potions Master qualification examination is very strict, not only the time, but also the content must comply with the regulations, and the first test is held every two months, and the six Potions Masters of the Association are invigilated at the same time.

After inquiring about the information, several candidates left with the admission ticket, and the agent who had been eyeing them for a long time immediately chased them out.

"Where do you live? I'll help you learn some common sense in this industry, in fact, there are some skills in the exam, not to mention making up for the lack of knowledge, at least it won't affect the normal performance. Medel felt that Downton would be a good paladin even if he couldn't become a potions master, and it was right to get along with him in advance, "You won't welcome me as a guest, will you?"

"I live at 63 Oak Street in the East Quarter, if you have time, you can come and be a guest!" Downton said a word, thanked the hostess and Medel, and turned to leave.

"Ah, I heard you right, it's a rich area!" The hostess looked at Downton's back, stunned.

"Not only that, if I'm not mistaken, it's a villa. "As a wealthy potions master, Medel's home is near Oak Street," "I see, this guy may be a rich second generation with quirks." ”

Back at the villa, Abagun was assigning rooms and directing everyone to clean up and settle down, and Downton was supposed to help, but was stopped by Elaine.

"Tomorrow, I have to go to the branch to take the Holy Knight License, so you can go and make up for the basics first. Elaine shoved a stack of theological books to Downton, "This is a first-year course, and the red line on it is the key point, even if you can't memorize it, you have to know a rough idea." ”

"Homer, open the Great Library!" Downton rolled a few times before placing the book aside, "I don't have the time to study any theological issues. ”

Abagun was a competent steward and kept everything in order, and when Downton came out the next morning, he found that the villa already had the look and feel of home.

"I thought you'd be late, quick, wash up and eat, you're leaving. Elaine took a basin of water and pushed Downton's room open.

"Master, we need to buy some food and clothing for the slaves and orcs. Abagun stood beside him, handed over a list and reported on the day's work, "What do you think is appropriate?" ”

"We're civilians, so what's the family crest. Elaine gave Abagun a blank look, "Ordinary clothes are fine." ”

"Haode, I will decide to try to be both beautiful and practical. "I propose to hire at least five servants to do laundry and cooking, and five maids to take care of the food and daily life of the masters." ”

"You can do it, the maid doesn't have to, we have arms and legs, what can't we do?" Downton recruited servants not to enjoy, but to save everyone's time, so that Elaine and the others had more free time to study.

"Haode master, another carriage is ready. Abagon bowed and stepped aside, "Have a great day!"

"This is the key to Mentor Andrea's room, if there is anyone, don't go in, if there is no one, clean up, I will come to you after I take leave. "Elaine is going to the Toffee Opera Company, and although her brother is rich, she will not forget the kindness of Captain Madeleine to help her. (To be continued......)
