Chapter 40 Differential treatment
Duke subconsciously didn't want others to know that Thor, who had a conflict with him, was reused by Mentor Kaz.
"Then you can rest assured, he will definitely not pass the first test. Didn't you see the lack of magic when he took the rune class? No matter how fast such a person learns, what is the use of not being able to unleash witchcraft? Dozer was pouted by Thor, and his tone was not very good.
He even guessed with bad intentions, "Listen to what Gudo sensei, apprentices who fail the test will definitely be punished, and maybe Thor will be driven back to be a servant in the end!" Rocky, you say yes. ”
"Huh? Be. Rocky replied sullenly.
"Huh?" Jenna sympathized with Thor again, "That's a little pitiful, too. ”
"Yes." Rocky immediately replied.
Seeing that his friend always peeked at Jenna, Doze rolled his eyes in his heart.
Just as a few people were talking, the door of 603 opened again.
The discussion suddenly stopped.
Thor came out of the dormitory, walked to 604 next door, knocked on the door, and called out Klee, who was studying hard inside.
"Is there a newcomer in the tower?"
"Huh? yes, what's wrong? I thought you wouldn't care about these things. Gree was still holding a thick roll of parchment in her hand, and looked at Thor in amazement.
"Is there an apprentice with a strong dark attribute talent among the newcomers?" Thor asked.
Gree spread her hands expressionlessly, and the parchment struck the door frame with a dull sound, "You think I'm going to care about these things?" ”
Thor choked on Klee again, couldn't help but laugh.
"I thought you would be interested in a new genius."
"It's already different, let's wait until someone catches up." Klee raised her eyebrows and looked at Thor, one hand resting on her chin, "You're very interested in him, do you want me to inquire?" ”
"There's no need for it."
Thor walked away with his arms folded in an incomprehensible expression, leaving Kree standing there for no apparent reason.
"What the hell is he doing? Afflicting my curiosity? ”
Klee pursed her mouth and pondered for a moment, and when she saw someone walking towards her, she hurriedly retreated to the room and slammed the door.
Duke ate a closed door, and the enthusiastic smile on his face instantly turned gloomy.
There was an explosive laugh behind him, which made him clench his fists and want to smash open the dormitory door in front of him.
But now everyone knows that Klee is already the treasure in the palm of Gudo's mentor, and she is often taken around to teach.
This is the special treatment that many apprentices cannot ask for.
There are rumors among the new apprentices that she will be the first to become a second-level apprentice, and even move to third-level soon.
Countless people want to get closer to Kleel, even if they can only get a little resources from her, maybe enough for them to survive the apprenticeship test again and again.
But Klee didn't know what water was in her head, and she just wanted to stay with Thor.
All the cheerfulness and enthusiasm was also unleashed on Saul alone.
It invisibly aggravated the newcomer's resentment towards Thor.
However, those who are haunted by resentment do not care at all.
Half past three in the morning.
Thor opened his eyes suddenly, chaos dissipated like a tidal wave, and reason regained its grip on his brain.
The servant George had sent Thor a watch the other day.
Today, it's time for one of West Germany's minions, Brown, to take on a rotating mission to clean the corridors.
Thor quickly put on his clothes, took out his well-preserved Phantom Pupil, and left the dormitory.
……
Brown, who was a head taller than Sol, cowered and walked down the ramp of the West Tower.
From time to time, he raised his hand to tighten his neckline.
The temperature in the Wizard's Tower is not low, but the cold is everywhere.
Ever since that damn Thor had become a goddamn apprentice, Brown had to take back on his job of sweeping the corridors.
It was the deadliest job among servants, ranging from ten days to several months, and there were always people who left in the early hours of the morning and never returned.
"It's cheaper for that George to lick Thor's ass so quickly."
George was assigned other tasks by the housekeeper and did not participate in the early morning shift.
Now all the manservants knew that George had hugged Thor's thigh.
They immediately changed their faces and lifted George, who was originally bullied, to the high platform.
George slept on the right side of the Chase bunk, taking Brown's place.
Brown has since lost power, but no one really dares to bully him.
It's just that he has lost his former transcendent status, and a lot of work that he didn't have to do before must also be undertaken.
The danger is naturally high.
Thankfully, Brown wasn't all without cards, and he was confident he would come back safely in the face of a dangerous early morning clean-up.
Ever since Thor became an apprentice, the second-level apprentice had never looked for Brown, but he had left him a life-saving prop.
Brown tightened his neckline again, and touched the small incense bead under the neckline.
It was a translucent bead strung together with black string, the size of a thumb, and a small black worm sealed inside like amber.
Brown didn't know what it was, but the second-level apprentice had told him that the little bead would protect Brown from the usual weirdness.
This is also the advance that Brown received for persecuting Saul before.
It's a pity that after Thor left, the second-level apprentice was unwilling to take care of Brown publicly, let alone accept Brown as an exclusive servant.
Otherwise who would be afraid of that George?
Even the butler had to smile at him respectfully.
Although there were regrets, Brown still happily pinched the little incense bead, with this witchcraft prop, he was not a loss.
Brown's sense of pleasure and superiority caused by the little incense bead did not last long before he was once again suppressed by the strange atmosphere in the wizard's tower.
"When am I going to get out of this damn place? If I knew that I would always be a servant, I would not ...... It's better to go back to the village and farm. ”
Regret is just a useless emotion that can only depress his will.
Brown let out a long sigh and pushed the cart on.
He remained silent and turned the corner on the sixth floor.
Suddenly, the wheel got stuck in the crack of the stone brick, and I couldn't push it no matter how much I pushed it.
"How?" Brown crouched down irritably, trying to lift the wheels.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a foot on a stone brick in front of the wheel.
A small, white, almost purple, naked, bony foot.
Then another similar-looking foot also landed.
Only the foot was heel toward Brown.
It's the opposite of the first foot.
What the hell!!
Brown couldn't take care of the car, so he pulled out the little incense bead hidden under the collar and held it above his head, closing his eyes tightly, hoping that the horror would be dispelled by the little incense bead.
There was no movement for a long time.
Brown tentatively opened his eyes through a slit.
The hairs of his body stood on end.
Around him and the cart stood bare feet.
The feet are arranged in a positive and negative arrangement, and each one is different. Some belong to adults, some to children, and some to the elderly.
"Ho...... Ho ......"
Brown began to tremble even to breathe.
The scene in front of me is very weird.
But even more permeating than the weird is that Brown has seen this scene.
When he was ten years old.
The barbarians invaded his village and gathered together all the living creatures they could catch.
People and animals were split in half, one positive and one reversed with wooden stakes penetrating and standing in mid-air.
