Chapter 2: The Encyclopedia

The welcome dinner was held at the Lord's Palace, and in addition to the Duke of TagΓ², the lord of Dehrim, the lord of the city, the Greycloak wizard and a town watcher said to be Chrissy, the long tables were flanked by young men selected by the Grey Cloak with the potential to become wizards' apprentices.

The ladies of the Lord's Mansion brought the delicately prepared food to the long table, such as tender roast veal, yellowish charred octopus rings, roasted cinnamon fish with full soup, and fresh fruit with dewdrops...... The richness and delicacy of the food was enough to surprise several commoner wizard apprentices, even from a petty aristocratic background like Kennan, who had only seen such a lavish dinner at a marquis's wedding banquet.

The lord of Tagio clapped his hands, and another group of maids served each of them a black drink in a crystal wine glass.

The gray cloak picked up the black drink and looked at it for a while, turned to Wizard Chrissy and said, "You can actually drink hot cocoa in the wild western islands, Wizard Chrissy is really enjoying it." If it weren't for the fact that my family didn't allow me, I would have thought of being a sorcerer in the Western Islands, I really envy you for this kind of life. ”

Hearing the gray-cloaked wizard say this, the purple-robed wizard Chrissy sitting on the left side smiled bitterly and shook the cup in his hand, "You also know my situation, if it weren't for the impossible, I wouldn't have come to this wild region to be a town guard wizard, these hot cocoa have also been accumulated in the past few years, if it weren't for your hospitality, I wouldn't be willing to take it out." You're different from me, and you still have hope of promotion. It's better on the mainland than here in the archipelago. ”

"The world is like a dark vortex in the starry sky, no matter what, life must go on, although it is a little wild here, but it is better than peace. Saying this, the gray cloak didn't seem to continue the conversation, and turned to the apprentices underground, "This drink is called hot and spicy cocoa, if you drink it for a long time, it has the effect of enhancing mental power, and if you have the ability to go to the academy, you still have to drink it often, which is of great benefit to you." ”

"Thank you for your advice. The apprentices sitting on both sides said in unison, and they all picked up their cups and drank them all, not wanting to waste any of them, and eager to convert them all into their own spiritual power.

The next morning, the apprentices will follow the mentor to other cities to recruit apprentices, according to Kennan's original owner's understanding of the way to travel is nothing more than to take a carriage, ride a horse or walk, if you take the waterway, you will take a boat, I did not expect to come to the outside of the city and see a huge airship moored outside the city gate, the airship is all made of wooden structures, at least three hundred yards long, about four stories high, it looks a bit like an ancient building ship, but there are no sails, and there is no huge airbag above the airship in memory," Maybe it's the power of magic. Kennan thought to himself.

The airship's hatch opened, and several servants stepped out of it to lead the many apprentices in search of their cabins. Following the guidance of the servant, Kennan came to his own cabin, pushed open the wooden door and saw a room about ten square meters in size, a bed, a table, a chair, and a partitioned bathroom, a small window, you can see the outside scenery, this arrangement reminded Kenan of the standard room of the chain hotel, touched the bedding, it was all half-new, it seemed to have just been cleaned, and it exuded a smell similar to grass.

This is the sound of the radio inside the ship, "Apprentices are not allowed to go on the deck without permission, if there is a need for food, you can go to the rear hall, the airship provides free food, if you are not interested in free food, you can spend money to customize food, of course we only accept payment for magic stones." ”

"Magic stone? Maybe it's the name of a currency used by wizards, and there is no information for the time being, so I can't analyze anything useful. Just as Kenan was thinking in secret, a voice sounded in Kenan's head, "I'm Wizard Grimm, come to me at the front of the airship, and the servants on the airship will show you the way." ”

For the voice that suddenly appeared in his head, Kenan didn't panic and scream except for being surprised at first, probably because Kenan was born with thick nerves, at least he could even accept such a bizarre thing as crossing over, and someone talking in his head This kind of thing is simply pediatric, so he quickly accepted it.

And through the analysis of the content of the speech, the speaker should be the gray cloak wizard who does the test for himself, as for the voice transmission in the mind, it should be the means of the wizard, similar to the transmission of thousands of miles of sound, the transmission of the sound into the secret or something, as for what he wants to do, it can't be analyzed, but it shouldn't be a bad thing, after all, he has no stake in the wizard, and it's not too easy for a wizard to clean himself up as an ordinary person, it's not much different from pressing an ant to death, and it doesn't need to be so troublesome, and then think of his better apprenticeship qualifications, I think there should be some good things to happen。

Under the guidance of the airship's servants, Kenan came to a room in the first half of the airship, which was obviously much more luxurious than the apprentice's room, and entered the room through the door, which was a reception room-like place, with an unknown soft wool carpet on the floor, some landscape paintings on the wall, a desk and two high-backed chairs near the window, and a door on each side of the wall. A wizard in a gray cloak, who identified himself as Grimm, was sitting behind his desk, looking at a document carefully.

Kenan didn't say anything, just stood quietly in front of his desk, years of experience telling him that maintaining the respect and reverence he deserved for the mysterious superior was the only criterion for survival.

It was about a quarter of an hour before Wizard Grimm raised his head from the data, "Good performance, at least enough patience, know that sometimes enough patience can make you go further on the wizarding path." ”

"Thank you for your teachings. Kennan bowed.

"It's just a little admonition from the seniors, let's get down to business," Wizard Grimm reached out and took a book out of his pocket, "A friend of mine asked me to find a disciple for him, and I saw that you had good qualifications, so I decided to recommend you to him, this is a gift from him, you can accept it." ”

"Thank you, mentor. Kennan stooped down and took the book.

"Well, I still have something to do, you can go back first. With that, Wizard Grimm buried his head back in the data.

Kennan saluted again before slowly exiting the door.

Returning to his cabin, Green looked at the books in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face, "Interesting, is this the first test, whether I have enough curiosity and learning ability, it just so happens that I also need to understand what the real wizarding world is like through books." ”

With curiosity, Kenan opened the book, but fortunately it was a universal text, and the memory in his body could still be understood.

After a general look at Kenan, he found that the book given by Wizard Grimm was an encyclopedia of the wizarding continent, which roughly introduced the origin, history, and development of wizards, as well as some general terrain, introduction to common races, and introductions to some creatures and plants, with a desire to explore, Kenan was immersed in a new world.
