Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Group of Apprentices
"Logically speaking, I don't have such rules here······"
The elf proprietress said with a look of embarrassment, it seems that she is not optimistic about Latis's proposal.
"There is a first time for everything, please rest assured, the value of my magic prop will definitely not be less than two thousand gold coins, which is more than enough as collateral, if it is not urgently needed, I will not take it out as collateral······"
Radix was full of confidence, and the elf lady suddenly became a little curious, picked up the "alchemy prop" in Radis's mouth, and prepared to take a closer look.
Ratis was about to open his mouth to introduce, when a slightly noisy voice came from the door, and several young men dressed as magic apprentices in mage robes walked in with a handsome face and an indifferent temperament.
············
"I feel that the learning efficiency has been so low recently, I don't know when I will be able to break through the middle apprentice if I continue like this, and I will soon reach the age of being repatriated, if I don't break through, I'm afraid that a guy like me can't be seen by that noble lord at all, Kailar, you have become a senior apprentice at such a young age, do you have any tricks, guide me?"
"Come on, magic depends on talent. By the way, speaking of the nobility······ Kelar, I heard that you had been invited by Viscount Hammer to a noble dinner earlier last month?
"What?!Kailar, such an important thing is still hidden from us, and it is hidden too deeply, right?"
"That's great news! I envy you, Kairal, with the Viscount's financial support, you won't have to worry about your future after graduation, if only I could become a nobleman's staff." ”
"With Kailar's talent, we can't envy him, you must know that he is the best student under Mentor Venmors, he has become a higher apprentice at the age of eighteen, and he is only one step away from becoming a full-fledged mage, and he has long been in the sight of the noble lords, which is also a matter of course. ”
"That's right, it's useless to be envious, we still have to learn from Senior Kailar and work hard to improve our knowledge and strength, so that we can come out one day······"
···········
This group of apprentices continued to praise the young man with an indifferent temperament, like the stars holding the moon, and the young man just responded with a gentle smile, giving encouragement from time to time, and behaving gently, only the curvature of the eyebrows at the corners of his eyes vaguely indicated that the young man's heart was probably not as humble as he showed, and he was still a little proud in his heart.
The confusion and vigor of young people, to be honest, Laces is not disgusted, youth, everyone has such a time, but what they said made Laces frown.
You don't have to think about it to know that these young people are apprentices in the nearby mage tower, and they can have today, without the strong support of this country, they can be said to be the seedlings of newcomers who carry the hope of the future development of the country's magical power, but in Lades's opinion, these people's concepts are already problematic.
It is true that in the history of this country and even most human countries, the concept of the supremacy of royal power has made the profession of mage exist for a long time as the role of the staff of nobles and knights, but now it is different from the past, the times have changed, under the influence of the holy mountain, the magic civilization has long risen, the mage, as the promoter of the magic civilization, has become the core of the development of civilization, and the powerful mage is the hottest figure of the current era!
Albert had told him that he had to be proud to be a mage, because the privilege of a mage overrides all professions, whether it is in the Holy Mountain or in the plane that has developed under his jurisdiction, it is always the mage who recruits other professions as his subordinates and followers, and the powerful mage is either the core of power, or the administrator, monitor, and guardian of transcendent things!
Throwing yourself under the banner of others and becoming a staff member of the so-called nobles is tantamount to surrendering one's identity to a truly powerful mage.
Even though they are far from growing up, as mages, they should have their own pride and reserve in their hearts, and these young apprentices, carrying the hopes of the country, are bent on following the backward traditions, and their biggest goal is only to work under the banner of a certain noble?
Now Radis understands a little bit why the magic power of this country is so backward, the lack of knowledge can be slowly made up with the accumulation of time, but the backwardness of concepts is the biggest obstacle to development.
However, each has his own position, and although Radice is not used to it, he will not correct the ideas of others, but they are indeed too noisy for his business to continue.
The elf lady had just picked up the magic props in the shape of a revolver, and before she could look closely, these guys came in noisily, causing the proprietress to frown, squinting her eyes and smiling lightly and warning: "Keep quiet, you little ones, didn't the old man Venmos tell you that I don't want to make noise here?"
As soon as everyone saw her, they immediately became honest, and the expression on their faces was panicked and blushing, and the panic was probably because of the identity and origin of this glamorous boss······ From the indulgence that flashed in their eyes, it can be seen that for these energetic young people, the bewitching temperament of the proprietress is still quite lethal.
Among the crowd, only the young man who was sought after by others maintained a calm posture, stepped forward with a smile, and greeted politely: "I'm sorry, Lady Recia, we didn't mean to disturb you, I apologize to you on behalf of my friend." I didn't think you were back, and the teacher would be happy if he knew. ”
Lysia waved her hand helplessly: "The moon god is above, I really can't imagine the picture of a wrinkled, sloppy old man happy for me, so please don't tell him the news." ”
The young man named Kailar did not feel angry at all because his mentor was disliked, he still smiled, and even made a joke: "Since you explained it like this, I naturally won't talk much, anyway, the mage tower is not far from here, maybe a casual chance encounter can improve your impression of the teacher a little." ”
"It's the worst joke I've ever heard, tell me just why you're here or I'm going to kick people out - maybe I should teach you a little lesson before that. ”
"I'm sorry, I came here this time to help the teacher purchase some materials and alchemy props, and by the way, I and a few friends also want to buy a few scrolls for self-defense, after all, everyone knows that the quality of your things here is the best in the entire Sixth District. ”
Lady Rezia waved her hand and casually dismissed him: "If you have such a sweet mouth at the beginning, I won't dislike you······ , Find what props you want, it's not the first time you've come, come and pay the bill by yourself after picking it out. ”
"I'm not in a hurry, or first to do the teacher's instructions, you should have an inscription pen here, right? The teacher asked me to help him buy a suitable one, just right, in the recent scroll production has made some small progress, and is ready to change to a better engraving pen, this time I bought it together, I think only you can find a high-quality engraving pen here, I don't know if there is a suitable one, I want you to recommend it to me?"
This kid said his intentions neither humbly nor arrogantly, but Latis couldn't help but be stunned: It's such a coincidence? I also came to buy pens, and I bought two at a time? I hope this kid's tricks are highlighted, don't spoil the good things of the master, otherwise······ I don't know if I'm going to have a little horizontal today.
