Chapter 10: Let Go of That Girl
After separating from the girl Ahri, Andy regretted a little, feeling that he shouldn't have said so deadly, at least he should have left some room for maneuver. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It turns out that Ahri is a member of the Darkmoon Circus, and he doesn't seem to have a low status. Just now she saw Andy's process of manipulating the fire technique, and thought that he was a talent, so she sent an invitation to Andy.
The newcomer treatment of the Darkmoon Circus looks very attractive, with a low-level wizard apprentice getting 2 modals plus 100 gold per year, and a mid-level wizard apprentice getting 5 magic stones plus 300 gold per year. If you are promoted, the salary will also be adjusted upwards as the individual's strength increases. They also have the ability to attend a free one-day training for formal wizards every year.
And the circus also has corresponding promotion channels. If you become an artist, you will be a trainee in the first year, and after one year, you will be divided into general artists, third-tier artists, second-tier artists, first-line artists, and superstars according to their popularity. Third-tier artists and above can enjoy performance revenue sharing.
If you don't want to show up and perform, you can also choose to work behind the scenes, which is also a one-year probationary period, and there are also team members, team leaders, foremen, stewards, managers, deputy captains, captains, and deputy head of the group.
The Magic Stone is the currency that circulates among wizards. Generally, apprentice-level existence is still one gold coin as the main trading currency, because magic stones are too rare. The Darkmoon Circus actually paid its salary with magic stones, which shows that it is rich and wealthy, and it deserves to be one of the three major wizarding organizations.
It's a pity that Andy already has a place to go, and he wants to go to Grim Academy, which is also one of the three major wizarding organizations. After all, the Darkmoon Circus is a commercial organization, and most of the people it houses here are witchcraft practitioners with poor talent and no hope of promotion. Of course, the circus itself also has talents to focus on cultivating, but this treatment obviously does not fall on Andy's head.
Unlike the Darkmoon Circus, Grim Academy is an open educational organization that focuses on imparting knowledge of witchcraft, which is obviously more suitable for Andy, a newcomer from another world who wants to continue his education and does not want to join the work so early.
What's more, going to Graeme Academy was recommended by Mentor Stein, and the one who invited him to join the circus was a mysterious and secretive guy. Of course, the former is more trustworthy, and Andy didn't even tell his real name to the latter.
Andy was still full of curiosity when the girl patiently told him about the work and various treatments of the Darkmoon Circus. As soon as the girl was introduced, he rejected the girl very decisively, and then turned around and left in a dashing manner. Leaving the girl Ahri behind him, she stomped her feet in anger.
Andy didn't want to go so fast, but he turned on his listening skills and noticed that Bill and Jayla seemed to be walking this way. Whether or not they find out that Andy is the culprit in playing tricks on Bill for a while, even if it's just by calling Andy's name, our Mr. Trist will probably be quite embarrassed.
Andy left the central plaza and was about to go home, when suddenly he heard a familiar voice again.
"It's ...... Compson"
Compson's voice came from a two-towered building not far from the central plaza, the Lord's Mansion of Fort Collins, Dallas.
"Young master, don't worry, I promise to arrange it this time!"
"Hmph, that's what you said last time. "The voice is...... Edward Colin
"Didn't there be a mentor last time, of course I didn't dare to go too far, but I just added fuel to the fire. This time the mentor is out of town, and when he returns, he may have time to lay a flower at the grave of my lovely junior brother. Hehehe......"
Hearing this, Andy's heart tightened.
"Hmph, this time it's going to fail, don't even think about your father's knighthood"
Edward seemed impatient to say anything to Compson and hurriedly sent him away. Compson nodded and bowed his head before leaving Fort Corinthian through the side door of the City Lord's Mansion and disappearing into the night
Andy kept his stealth and hearing in a state of obscurity, following unhurriedly from behind Compson.
What an unexpected discovery today. When Catherine said that Compson and Lisa were in a relationship that day, Compson's name had been marked with a key suspicion mark in Andy's notebook. Now it seems that he actually helped Edward, and they planned the last Soul Eater incident. Although he is now ready to leave here and go to the royal capital, he is not ready to pay attention to the previous grievances, but what kind of conspiracy will he do if he listens to their intentions. It's really harmless to people, and tigers hurt people's hearts. Since Andy has encountered it, he must find out.
Compson, the oldest of all Stein's apprentices, is said to be the son of a knight. This guy looks like a gentleman every day and has a good reputation in the wizarding tower. In the memory of the original Andy Charles, this guy is still an amiable senior brother.
The guy was stumbling around the city and soon left the inner city and came to the slums.
This was the first time Andy had left the aristocratic district since he crossed over, and as soon as he entered the slums, he was greeted by a strange stench, like the smell of rotten apples stirred with stinky tofu and fermented in a container with sweaty feet and sneakers. Andy couldn't help but retract his previous idea that the Colin family's city governance was good.
In fact, most of the cities in the Duolun Continent, except for the aristocratic areas that are cleaned by special personnel, have relatively poor sanitary conditions. Andy has been in modern civilization for a long time, and after crossing over, he lives in the inner city where there is a special person to clean every day, and his mental strength has reached the level of a medium wizard apprentice, so he feels that the smell is unbearable.
Andy, who has experience living in college dormitories, knows that there is such a thing as a smell, in fact, after a long time, you can't smell anything.
Compson's face did not change and he continued to move forward. Andy pinched his nose and followed far behind.
Finally, Compson entered a dilapidated mansion. Cobwebs on the lintel indicate that it has been uninhabited for a long time. After Andy enters the mansion at Compson, he sees a deep cross-star sword mark carved on the gate of the courtyard, which seems to be used as a mark.
In addition to the sword marks, there was also dull scribbled handwriting on it, like ink that had faded after being exposed to wind and rain. The writing is very straightforward, and the writing is crooked like a child's prank.
Andy took a closer look at it through the moonlight, and most of them were children's graffiti such as "XX King Eight" or "XX Good Man". And what kind of cathartic text like "Victoria's mongrel blood debt blood repayment".
A special one is a couplet that Andy recognizes on the left reading: "All wizards are dogs", and on the right is the lower couplet: "The nobles are all dead". The horizontal batch is crookedly written with the four big words "wipe off the dead mother".
Andy couldn't help but be speechless. He knew that the words must have been written by the Gillians. In fact, most of the people who live in the slums are gillians. Compared to the Victorians, the Gilians were simply second-class citizens in the Elamite Kingdom. If it weren't for the war with the Duchy of Sain that eased the internal tensions, perhaps the Jillian would still be fighting to get rid of their slave status.
It is said that a hundred years ago, the Grand Duke of Seon was the first to announce the abolition of slavery, so that he won the support of a large number of Jilian people, and thus successfully separated from the Elamite Kingdom and became independent. On the contrary, in the past hundred years, the Elamite Kingdom has faced a war with the Duchy of Thane, and on the other hand, it has to suppress waves of gillian uprisings, and its national strength has been continuously depleted. Although later under pressure the legal citizenship of the Jillian people was declared. But in the Elamite kingdom, the Victorians and the Gilians were distinct in terms of thought, culture, and way of life.
Compson didn't move for a long time after entering, Andy quietly went to the roof with his quasi-knight-level skills, and perfectly blended with the shadow of the roof under the expert-level concealment technique.
Compson was pacing through the weedy yard, looking a little anxious, as if he was waiting for something. The wait was almost an hour.
Finally, the door that said that all wizards were dogs creaked open, and a dark figure entered, carrying a cloth bag that seemed to contain some living creature that whined and struggled incessantly.
In the moonlight, the dark shadow revealed a stiff face, which was John Knight, a follower of Stein.
"Do you see the words on the door?" said John in a sonorous tone, "The words are not rough, are they?" said John, throwing the cloth bag on the ground. was dropped, and the whining in the cloth bag was a little louder.
"You're finally here, are things done?. Compson hurried to catch up.
"See for yourself," John spouted at Budai Nunu, and then asked insistently, "All wizards are dogs, I wonder how the Compson Wizard Apprentice feels?"
Compson hurried over, untying the bag and saying, "You said that the words on the door are just the whispers of untouchables."
"Hehe, untouchables? You mean the gillians. Do you know that four hundred years ago, the entire Duolun Continent belonged to the untouchables in your mouth. When our ancestors fled here, they taught us to adapt to the climate, to grow crops, to hunt wild beasts, to guard against monsters, and to thrive here. And how do we repay them? slaughter, enslavement, turning them into savages, robbers, thieves, and skilled women, which are still sung in the songs of Jillian: We give the broth, and we welcome the wolf of fortune ......"
"Enough!" interrupted John, Compson, "what do you mean by these old calendars, and don't forget that you are also a descendant of Victoria." How can those natives who don't even have a wizarding inheritance deserve to occupy the rich and beautiful Duolun continent. If you say something like this again, be careful of being hanged as someone from the Brotherhood of Jillian."
"It's just a feeling," John said nonchalantly, "but speaking of the Brotherhood of Jillian, you have to be careful when you go out lately, I heard that they have been a little active lately." This vengeance organization of the natives, after more than 400 years of blood watering, does not know what kind of bright fruit it can bear."
"Hmph! It's just a local chicken and tile dog that can't get on the table. Let's hurry up and get down to business" Compson couldn't help but be a little anxious after untying his pocket for a long time, and then a fire technique burned the body on the pocket.
As soon as the pocket was opened, a girl took it out in two or three clicks, and then ran to the door without saying a word. Unfortunately, before he could run two steps, he was caught by John as if he had to catch a chicken, and then tied his hands and feet with hemp rope. Then the girl began to speak, and as soon as she spoke, she did not stop, and Victorian, Jillian, and all sorts of strange dialects were constantly used to greet the eighteenth generation of John and Compson's ancestors. It wasn't until John roughly gagged her mouth that she could only let out an unwilling whine.
Andy knew the girl, and had met her not long ago, it was none other than Jera, the daughter of the Phillips. She was with Bill just now, and she didn't know how to get John to get here.
"See," John said, gagging Jayla's mouth, "it's still a hot girl, and it took me a lot of effort to get a silly boy out of the way and get her." This girl isn't as easy to fool around as Lisa last time. And she seems to have other tastes, so she probably doesn't look down on your little white face. ”
"Hee-hee, it doesn't have to be that complicated this time, and it must be foolproof," Compson said, pulling out a dark puppet from his bosom, "Look what this is?"
"Is this ...... Treasure of the Secret Treasure," John's voice couldn't help but rise.
"Yes, but it's just a one-time treasure. A voodoo puppet that only works on mortals. As long as I cast a spell with this treasure, within forty-eight hours, hehe, she will do whatever I tell her to do......" Compson laughed.
"Well, this time it sounds much more reliable than last time, I'm afraid this secret treasure is not your own, otherwise wouldn't it be easier to find a chance to use it for that old man named Brown before. John asked
"Of course, this is the foundation that only nobles have. Anyway, Stein's old fellow doesn't have a few days to live, and we will work for the Viscount together. Lord Viscount is surrounded by a lot of natural talents, and we still have to help each other. "Compson began to plan for the future.
"Hehe, I like to deal with smart people. However, it's not too early, so let's get started. John began to urge Compson.
"Okay, show you the power of the treasure" Compson raised the voodoo golem and was about to cast a spell on Geral, who struggled even harder.
As John and Compson spoke, a dense mass of flame beetles filled almost the entire courtyard. The flame beetles hid dimly in the grass, enveloping the two men who spoke. Andy drew the knight's sword from his waist, tense and waiting for a suitable shot.
A knight plus a mid-level wizard apprentice, Andy may not be an opponent. But the Phillips took good care of him, how could he see their daughter being planted with a vicious spell, not to mention that it was because of Andy's involvement. Now Andy is waiting for a surprise opportunity to maximize the effect of the attack.
Compson starts casting spells, can't wait any longer, it's now!
Andy was about to rush out when suddenly a roar came from the gate
"Let go of that girl!"
