Zhou Tian began to classify and forcefully push, and next week I would like to ask you to help cast more votes or something. Well, it just so happens that next week is the ** plot of the wizarding exam.

Seeing that Alika Vera was leaving, the merchant stood up and raised his hand to stop the two. But he rolled his eyes, sat down, and thought to himself: You want to cheat me? No way! I managed to get this bean, and even though I found some wizard apprentices, I couldn't get any good food. But that's because they're not skilled enough, and this is a formal wizard. It seems that this ingredient is still valuable. Even if you don't buy it, I don't believe anyone will buy it during the whole game. The competition will become more and more intense, and these wizard apprentices will definitely do whatever it takes to win. I don't need to sell these precious goods so early.
Vera took a few steps and was overjoyed when she saw the merchant standing up. But unexpectedly, the merchant sat back down. She was annoyed, took Erica's hand and whispered: "This profiteer, even pretending, must want to sell it at a high price during the wizarding exam." We can't go back, and if we go, he'll definitely have to pay more. β
Erica shook Vera's hand and comforted, "It's okay, I'm just curious about the ingredients." Even if I bought it, it would be troublesome to use it. You also need to try the characteristics of this ingredient first, and if it doesn't match with other ingredients, the competition is already in a hurry. It's also troublesome. β
"Yes, then let's look at the other ingredients. It's best to remember which store has the freshest ingredients. β
"Won't the Wizarding Guild unify the ingredients?" asked Erica curiously, wondering if it would lead to injustice, and the Wizarding Guild didn't care.
Vera explained: "There are many reasons why ingredients are not uniformed: first, unifying ingredients will limit the strength of wizards, second, there is too much money to unify ingredients, and third, the guild believes that the ability to obtain ingredients is also a reflection of the strength of wizards. It's okay to rely on the strength of yourself and your partners to get the ingredients, or rely on the strength of the gourmet mercenaries to get the ingredients. β
Under Erica's questioning, Erica learned that the food mercenary, similar to the food hunter seen in Erica's previous life comics, is an adventurer who is specially hired to find ingredients. Some wizards are themselves food mercenaries, after all, they have to find the ingredients they want more by themselves. After all, the wizards of this world realm have their own extraordinary powers. Of course, Erica has never realized this, although she knows that the wizard is the chef of the wizarding world, but her brain still takes the wizard for granted. I didn't expect that wizards can actually be used as combat power, and wizards are also an extremely popular one among adventurers, as long as they have good cooking skills, it doesn't matter if their combat effectiveness is much worse.
It's not just that adventuring in the wild doesn't have anything delicious. What's more, how to use the ingredients obtained in the wild, except for wizards, most people don't know how to deal with it. It often happens that you eat yourself to death. And the wizard understands the ingredients, which is equivalent to understanding the knowledge of Warcraft, plant knowledge, medicine knowledge, and can also make food potions that restore strengthening, etc., although the direct combat effectiveness is not high, but it is the best auxiliary personnel. Even if there is a magician who is good at healing magic, it cannot replace the position of a wizard.
From Erica's point of view of playing the game, having a wizard in the team is equivalent to having a monster encyclopedia, a healer, a plus status support, and a chef. This is still an ordinary adventurer, if it is a gourmet mercenary, there is no wizard in the team, even if there are the best ingredients, you may miss it in front of you.
Therefore, even the worst adventurer team must find a slightly more reliable wizard apprentice to rush down the faΓ§ade. Otherwise, you may have to wait to eat raw meat in the wild. Because the meat of some Warcraft can't even be grilled.
Because it is not as easy to obtain ingredients as in Erica's world, it is natural that the ingredients cannot be unified, but there are still some exams that will unify the ingredients, in order to select wizards who can make more delicious dishes with the same ingredients.
In fact, the Wizarding Guild does not unify the ingredients, and also has the purpose of wanting to get more recipes, and once a wizard uses certain ingredients to make a certain dish, the Wizarding Guild will record it. It is also an affirmation of the wizard's abilities. Of course, the Wizards Association will include the recipe, and it will also give the wizard a certain return. It's a win-win partnership.
After a while, Erica and Vera returned to the hotel.
After walking for so long, Erica was already tired, and she just fell asleep soon after a little bathing. One of the reasons why Vera took her around was to familiarize Erica with the place, and the other reason was to let Erica's body be tired and rest early, so that Erica would not be able to sleep because she was worried about the wizarding exam, which would affect the level of the exam.
Early the next morning, Erica woke up to a cacophony of noises.
Soon Vera arrived, and Vera followed the crowd with the washed Erica to the Wizarding Guild's exam site. It was the central square of Boom Boom.
In the square, hundreds of people gathered, and in addition to the participating wizard apprentices and those who came with the participating wizard apprentices, there were only the examiners of the wizarding association. And on the periphery, there were even more onlookers.
"Hundreds of them, it seems!" Vera said.
Seeing hundreds of people huddled together, noisy, and so many spectators outside, Erica couldn't help but get nervous. It was different from the competition with Vera and the fish soup making on the boat, and at that time, there was no one around.
Erica was an otaku in her previous life, and she was just a little girl in this life, and for such an environment, she couldn't help but have a terrifying psychology.
Vera noticed the slight change in Erica, squeezed her hand slightly, leaned closer and said, "Don't be afraid. β
The empty goblin who originally drilled out the rabbit puppet costume during the break got into the rabbit puppet costume early in the morning, and at this time, he also said to Erika's chest: "Erica-sama, come on, knock them all away!"
Erica took a deep breath and calmed down. She knew that she had to adapt to this environment as soon as possible, otherwise she would not want to win the game.
At this time, a familiar voice suddenly came: "Miss Erica is really here to participate in the wizarding competition, I wonder if it will be some other reason yesterday! I didn't expect Miss Erica to join such a cruel competition at such a young age, but it is also a fate to be able to meet Miss Erica in such a competition!"
"Ark?" Erica looked up, and it was the blonde young man from yesterday who spoke.
"I was lucky to meet the lovely Miss Erica in my first contest, but why should I meet the lovely Miss Erica at the same time as this abominable redneck!" said Yak and shook his head, saying it in a way that sounded like he was singing a hymn.
"Countryman?" Erica looked around, and sure enough, she found traces of yesterday's pair of Ice and Fire Brothers around, and the blindfolded man did not respond, the bald man called Fire Fist looked at Erica but grinned innocently.
Erica was about to say hello to him, when someone suddenly shouted, "Quiet!
In an instant, the noisy crowd became quiet.
