Chapter 206: Work

How old is Artimus?

For this question, to be honest, Yadimu himself is not clear.

Time in Dawn is easy to calculate, but not so much in other worlds.

Some of those worlds are projected in, while others are directly ontological.

It stands to reason that Artimus should be much older than sixteen today.

But in fact, Artimus can feel that his current physical age should still be stuck at the number sixteen.

This is somewhat unexplainable.

After all, if the projection can be explained by a body other than one's own body, then everything in Noah's world cannot be explained by this reason.

In Noah's world, Yadimu has really spent a long time.

But after returning to Dawn, these seem to have been reset.

But there's not much to say.

With the sheer power of an hourglass, it doesn't seem strange to do this.

"Specialty words. The mage's meditation basics, and archery."

Artimus pondered for a moment, and finally said these two answers.

If you want to be the best at something, it is naturally the method of tempering the body and the swordsmanship of the body.

But these things are limited by his current situation, and they are somewhat not very good to perform.

Knights are not popular on the continent of Herris, and their number is quite scarce, and there are not many people who will be interested in it.

However, the aspect related to mages is quite popular on this continent.

As for archery, it's because of the elves.

In addition to spells, the elves are most outstanding in their superb archery.

In this Kaiyue City, which is close to the Silver Moon Forest, excellent archery skills are also good skills.

"You're a mage apprentice?"

Listening to Yadimu's words, the person in charge in front of him suddenly stood up, and looked at Yadimu with a much more cautious gaze.

Looking at it like this, it seems that more attention has been paid to it.

And no wonder.

Although there are many mages in Kaiyue City, and even many mage apprentices can be seen on the streets, this does not mean that these mages are not valuable.

On the contrary, even in this city, a mage is quite a noble figure, considered an aristocratic class.

And a mage apprentice can basically be regarded as a reserve of nobles, which is naturally worth paying attention to.

"Sort of."

Artimu hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I've been studying outside before"

This sentence obscures his own origins.

The person in charge nodded thoughtfully, and had a rough idea in his heart.

This is not uncommon.

Silvermoon Forest is one of the famous mage gathering places in the vicinity, so a large number of foreign mages often enter this place to seek the progress and growth of the mage path.

In this case, it is not uncommon for things like those like Artimus to have.

Next, he took Adimu aside and began testing it in a specialized place.

Soon, the results of the test came in.

Artimus stepped out with the subject.

"Your Excellency's academic experience is quite strong, even those students taught by the official mage himself, in my opinion, are not as good as you, Mr. Yadimu."

The subject was an old man named Riya, a veteran mage's apprentice.

After the test, he admired Yadimu's mage skills, and praised them along the way.

"It's a pity that in the casting of spells, Mr. Yadimu, you are a little weak, and if you use it in actual combat, I am afraid that there will be some problems."

He had some regret about Artimu's performance in spell casting.

In his opinion, with the mage skills shown by Yadimu, if the actual combat of spells can be equally fine, then he can almost be called the top mage apprentice.

However, in the test just now, although there was no problem with Yadimu's spell, the speed seemed too slow, and he looked quite jerky.

This kind of performance is naturally no problem in normal times, but if it is in actual combat, it will be a big problem.

If you have seven or eight seconds of actual combat with a spell, the magic ball on the opposite side will smash into your face.

This has to be said to be a fatal flaw.

For this flaw, Yadimu could only smile bitterly and did not defend himself.

His mage homework was basically learned from Aesius, so naturally it was more about the mastery and understanding of knowledge, and less about practical practice.

In the past, this was not really necessary.

After all, he usually slashes people with a sword, and it is not useful to smash people with fireballs or anything.

Naturally, there is no problem with slower spell combat.

But now it shows itself naturally and more or less a flaw.

I don't know if it will affect his employment.

"With the situation you have shown, Mr. Artimu, I am afraid that the work of mercenaries and the like is not up to the task, but it has a good advantage in other aspects."

Ria pondered for a moment, then said with a smile, "I wonder if you have any information about the door-to-door teaching, Mr. Yadimu?" ”

"We happen to have several commissions here, and there are several noble gentlemen who are looking for a good mage teacher for their children."

Mage Teacher?

Isn't this the job of a tutor?

Yadimu was stunned, but quickly reacted and nodded: "I have no problem." ”

For Artimu, this kind of work is actually more in line with his heart.

He appeared to be okay at the moment, but in reality he was still in a weak state.

It's really not a good idea to cut people in this state.

Even if it's good to teach honestly, at least you can cultivate quietly.

After confirming Yadimu's intentions, the old man in front of him quickly recorded it.

Then another half a month passed.

As the days passed, just when Artimu wondered if his job was about to fail, there was finally definite news.

On a fairly spacious mansion.

"You're Mr. Artimu?"

In the spacious living room, a middle-aged man with thick blond hair with a serious face was looking Yadimu up and down: "I heard Mr. Ria say that you have enough mage cultivation. ”

"But in my opinion, your aristocratic cultivation seems to be just as good."

A dignified middle-aged man with blonde hair looks like an aristocrat and has a keen eye.

From some of the details of Yadimu's performance, he keenly saw that Yadimu seemed to be a mage from a noble background.

This reassured him a lot.

In my thoughts, the number of mages is not small, and the sources are also diverse.

But relatively speaking, a mage from an aristocratic background can still give people more confidence in the end.

There is nothing wrong with that.

So at this moment, the middle-aged man immediately had a slight affection for Yadimu.

Of course, in this process, Yadimu's own cultivation and excellent appearance are also one of the important reasons.

Most people say that you can't judge people by their appearance, but it has to be said that most of the time, a good first impression can indeed occupy a considerable weight in people's hearts.

That's what Artimus is like at the moment.

Of course, out of caution, the middle-aged man still asked Yadimu some questions and examined them roughly.

After Yadimu answered one by one, his face showed satisfaction.

"If there are no problems, please sign this agreement."

The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and put a contract that had already been drafted in front of Yadimu: "In the name of the Farley family, I will give you enough treatment and respect, and I also hope that Mr. Yadimu can do your best to complete this job and don't let me down." ”

Yadimu took a general look at the contract.

The contract is standard, and most of them have no problems with it, except that they stipulate the monthly treatment of Yadimu and the duration of the contract.

And, of course, the most important responsibilities and requirements.

According to this contract, Artimus worked in the Hailei family and was paid ten gold coins a month.

The duration is three months.

Ten gold coins, this amount surprised Yadimu.

Sure enough, it is a place where prices are high, and even the price of hiring a tutor is so high.

And that's just the basics, there are a lot of bits and pieces.

After looking around casually and making sure that there were no major problems, Yadimu signed his name.

"Well, then, I hope Mr. Artimu enjoys his stay here."

Seeing that Artimu had signed his name, Simon smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Artimu's hand.

"It's a pleasure to work with."

In the following time, Artimu lived in the Haylei family as a tutor.

The size of the Hailei family is not very large, but it is also a famous and fortunate nobleman, so it also has a lot of property in Kaiyue City.

The extent of their manor was large enough to vacate a room for Artimus to live in.

This is also to make it easier for Yadimu to guide nearby.

There are three students in total.

Two boys, one girl.

The three children are not too old, and the eldest boy is the eldest son of Baron Simon, who is only twelve years old this year.

As for the youngest one, he is only about eight years old this year.

At this age, the initiation of a mage is a bit early, to be honest.

"My father asked us to do mage training, and it seems that he wanted us to take this year's mage test."

At the end of the lesson, the only girl among the three stayed by Yadimu's side, muttering alone, "He said it was a rare opportunity. ”

"It's a great opportunity."

Yadimu nodded in agreement.

Kaiyue City is located on the border of the Silvermoon Forest, and the mage culture in the vicinity is very popular.

As a result, there are many large and small schools of mage that have taken root in the vicinity, and students are regularly selected.

Every five years, they conduct mage tests in their neighborhood, free for young people under the age of twenty.

Generally speaking, this kind of test can test a person's mage qualifications to the greatest extent.

For many, this is an opportunity.

Don't underestimate the test of the teacher's qualifications.

Anything associated with mages is expensive.

If you want to test the qualifications of a mage, you need a lot of money.

Of course, with Baron Simon's status and strength, he wants to test his children privately, which is naturally no problem.

But this is not very accurate.

The mage qualification test is held every five years, which is the most authoritative and accurate test in the neighborhood.

The results of this test are not only quite accurate, but also the Mage Alliance will issue a public mage qualification test certificate, which is equivalent to having an official endorsement and certification, and the gold content is completely different from the results of the test by external private institutions.

As long as you have the qualification endorsement and certification developed by the Mage Alliance, then with this certification, you can join other schools and pave the way for your future.

The result of this kind of gold content and authoritative certification must be paid attention to even by a nobleman like Baron Simon.

That's why this temporary training came about.

Although the mage qualification test is only a qualification test, there will also be some certification and evaluation of mage quality later.

If the results are good, there are also many benefits.

That's why Baron Simon is so positive.

Yatemu was well aware of this.

Isn't this quite gold-plated and brushing up on qualifications, he's quite familiar.

After knowing the purpose of Baron Simon, he also had a detailed understanding of the past exam questions of the Mage Alliance, and gave full play to his supervisor initiative to train the three children in front of him.

It's a pity that although he is still concerned about this job, the three children may not work hard.

For Baron Simon's painstaking efforts, it seems that not all of them can move.

The two boys are obsessed with playing, and are usually in a state of fishing, as long as they complete the task assigned by Yadimu, it will be fine.

The only girl in front of her was quite serious, and she came to Yadimu every day after the class to ask all kinds of questions.

Although, the girl's purpose doesn't seem to be so simple.

In front of Artimu, Lesa held a clean white paper in her hand, asking questions, but her eyes kept looking at Artimu's face, and the line of sight was as direct as it was.

I don't know if I thought of something special, but her face turned red from time to time, and she looked shy.

This means that a person can understand it.

"Anything else?"

After answering the question at hand, Yadimu looked at the girl in front of him and asked casually, "If it's okay, then go back and rest early." ”

"Mr. Artimu"

The girl's slight voice rang in her ears.

Unconsciously, the girl's body was already very close to Yadimu, and she almost leaned on Yadimu: "Tomorrow is resting, can you go out with me?" ”

"I heard that there is a newly opened garden outside, and the scenery inside seems to be very nice."

Artimus looked at the girl a little speechlessly.

To be honest, the girl in front of me actually looks pretty good, her appearance is exquisite, and the clothes on her body are quite decent, and she looks like a little princess overall.

But the problem is that the girl is only eleven years old now.

You're so old, why do you know so much?
