Section 5: The Name of Quelsa (I

What kind of existence is the Wizard Guild? It may be too long to start from the beginning, but if it is briefly summarized, then whether it is the scale, the number of people, or the meaning of existence, it is completely different from the ordinary industry guild, except for the old Radiant Church, other organizations - whether it is an association or a regime - do not dare to spit on the back of the Wizard Guild.

So even in the barren West Coast, even in the chapters of the Anomalous Guild, this headquarters is still staggeringly large.

Of the seven most symbolic flat-topped pyramids in Yintao City, the Psychic Master Guild occupies three of them, and they are the largest. The pyramid where Townsend is currently located is the smallest of them, and is mainly used by the local guild to identify and train apprentices. Of course, as the top exam, the promotion of junior ability masters is also held here.

Those who waited outside the gate respectfully were all prospective apprentices who had been confirmed to be skilled, gifted, and waiting for the budding exams. In this neatly arranged procession, everyone was neatly dressed and had serious expressions on their faces. There are men and women, and their age span is incredible, from children as young as seven or eight years old to birthdays in their seventies and eighties.

"Hundreds. Townsend was full of emotion: "The elderly also come to take the test? Can they still walk? It's an exaggeration, right?"

"They're all locals, and becoming junior apprentices is a lifelong dream for many. In this matter, the tour guide Saila obviously has more say: "His Royal Highness the Prince has agreed with the Association of Strangers that the residents of Yintao City only need to pay one-third of the fee for the exam, and there is a relaxed rule that the exam will be taken once every two months...... As long as you can pass the primary exam, your life will be completely different in the future. ”

"So what are the chances of passing the exam?" Townsend asked curiously, "How much does the exam cost?"

"If there is no referral from the guild members, the exam will be divided into three parts. Those who can come up to the tower have actually passed the first two parts. The last exam costs half a gold coin, and most of them are stuck here, and they have lost their money over the years. "In the whole of last year, there were only 67 lucky people on the Silver Coast who managed to advance to junior apprenticeship. ”

"What step are you stuck?" asked Townsend casually.

"Background. Sera is no longer called Chief Townsend: "I am an orphan, and no one can prove my origins." ”

"It's a pity. Townsend shook his head, took out a gold coin and handed it to her: "Take it, this is the cost of hiring you for three days." ”

"Thank you for the salary advance, I will provide you with the best guide service. Sera took the coin and thanked her, "Masters, because of my status, I can't follow you deep into other buildings. ”

"Well," Marcia agreed, "I'll wait here for a while, and if anyone asks, I'll say I brought you in." ”

"I see, thank you, Master. Seira gave a deep salute, then took two steps back and sent the three of them away.

"It's strange that I didn't get a thank you for the money. Townsend asked, "Why do you make her so grateful with a word?"

"Quite simply, I brought her in to vouch for her. The exam location for the junior apprentice is here, and she can go directly to the exam without even queuing. Marcia glanced at Townsend, who remembered the man's coldness toward Vahu, "You probably need her to do something, or why don't you just give her a gold coin?" ”

"I'm not a bulli, but I'm not a philanthropist. Townsend said: "I would rather earn hard-earned money, which means that this little guide is not willing to be a vase, and if she is asked to do something, I will clearly mark the price." ”

Approaching the main building, he was greeted by a well-dressed and kind-looking senior apprentice, who first gave Marcia a simple daily courtesy before asking, "Good afternoon, have you come to report?"

"Two reports, two skipping promotions. There is also a special promotion among them. Marcia said lightly, but the eyes of the senior apprentice in charge of the reception widened, and it took a long time to connect these names with the number of people in front of him.

"Please...... Please wait for a moment and I will inform the tutor on duty immediately"

"As for it?" said Townsend as he saw the apprentice running wildly into the main building, "and we're not here to play. ”

"Actually, the level of sensation is about the same, and among the three of us, at least one local junior anomalist will be born. Marcia said: "There are few skipping promotions, and special promotions are not trivial, and you will soon understand the meaning of this." If this apprentice had been nimble, he would have been able to earn a house based on this news alone. ”

"Aren't we at a loss?" said Vahu, "we are still staying in a hotel, why should he earn the house?"

"Squat. Marcia turned to Vahu and said. The latter immediately did the same + passion, and then received a slap on the forehead.

"Don't think about these trivial things, remember that you are now an apprentice of the ability, not a tribal chief" Marcia had already taken out the majesty of the mentor: "When you become a senior apprentice, can the guild still lose you?"

"That's right," an old voice picked up Marcia's words: "As long as we pass the exam, we will never be disadvantaged"

Everyone turned around and saw a thin old man wearing a second-level ability master badge walking over, so they greeted the junior courtesy. The old man smiled heartily and returned the salute, then turned to the reception apprentice and said, "Several guests have said, you still don't want to earn your house?"

"Yes, thank you," the senior apprentice ran away embarrassed and happy, his steps swishing.

"Very well, this flower-like lady is the leader?" the old man looked at Marcia, and then his face changed: "All the trainees? Madam, are you ...... Miss Reginord?"

"Yes, I'm Marcia Reginord. ”

"That's normal, haha, Miss Reginord, we've been waiting for a long time, because the inspector's trip can't be delayed, so the branch president can only accompany him away. The old man smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the distinguished guests that the branch president would never forget would be received by me." Please come with me, and I will arrange it for you. Miss Reginord, you didn't say anything about leading the others. ”

"I want to surprise everyone. Marcia smiled and coped with it very well.

"Actually, Miss Reginald is willing to come to the West Coast to make the cut, which is already a big surprise. The old man said, "Could it be that God takes care of me so much, the special promotion that Miss just said...... Isn't it all-inclusive?"

"Of course not, I'm not arrogant enough to move up to the second level in one go, and I want to postpone my special promotion for a few days. Marcia replied, "The main reason for my visit to the West Coast this time is because of these two companions who have not yet been reported, one of them has to take the senior apprentice exam and the other has to take the junior anomaly exam...... The key thing about this is that they are all locals. ”

"Really, now I can earn a house" It's just an instant, and the old man's laughter became louder: "Joke, please forgive me for being excited, the West Coast people directly apply for the junior ability master, this kind of thing hasn't happened for many years, it's really young and promising, if the branch president knows, he doesn't know what it will be like to be happy." ”

Entering the gate while talking and laughing, naturally some idlers greeted them to go through the formalities for the three of them. Marcia takes out her badge for verification, and then registers for Townsend and Vahu.

"Actually, Miss Marcia doesn't need to worry too much, wouldn't it be better to take the promotion exam together?" the old man asked, "If what the branch president said is correct, it's time for Miss Marcia to apply for a special promotion, right?"

"My special promotion will be postponed for a few days. Marcia pointed to Townsend and Vahu, "My first priority this time is to oversee the promotion of these two men, they are the jewels of the year in the West Coast chapter." Don't get me wrong, they're just like-minded friends and won't pull them to the Andorra chapter. ”

"Hehe, the flow of talent is normal, and we also need talents like Miss Marcia...... Since you said so, then I will definitely look forward to what will happen next" The old man touched his chin happily: "Hurry up, I'm in a hurry"

"What is Mr. Townsend's last name?" The person who handled the registration hurriedly began to ask for information, because the guild was highly hierarchical, he didn't dare to ask the two people's questions at the same time: "What is Mr. Wahu's surname?"

"Quelsa. Townsend didn't want to explain his name, and casually said, "We both have the last name Quelsa." ”

"Mr. Quelsa, Mr. Townsend, this seems to be a place name?"

"It's a surname from today. Townsend's answer was nonchalant, but it left the room full of people stunned. Because it is against mainland law to use a place name as a surname, it is usually a privilege reserved for high lords. Although it is said that the high-ranking anomalies are not subject to ordinary laws, they must save some face for the local forces - this is actually an unspoken rule.

The old man looked at Marcia and saw that the young lady did not object, so he glanced at the person who asked the question, and the matter was settled. So on the official documents, Townsend had this surname of Quelsa.

Then came the serious exam, because the promotion of a senior apprentice to a junior ability master is a very complicated and grand matter, so waiting is inevitable. On the contrary, the intermediate examination for the promotion of junior apprentices to intermediate apprentices and the promotion of intermediate apprentices to senior apprentices is the most convenient - the apprentices who take this kind of examination are on the list, and they basically come according to the plan, and it is not a problem for one or two unplanned ones to pop up suddenly.

So a tribesman named Vahu Quelsa came into the picture

Vahu's promotion exam caused a small stir and, fairly, was both unexpected and logical. The most striking factor is the Wahu origins, and the other notable synergistic factor is the conflict with the local apprentices when they ascended the tower...... You must know that the bad guys are never alone, they are all in groups.
