After Nick finished walking around the first floor, he returned to his room in the attic. He stared at the little speaker that took up a large part of the floor, and thought to himself, "Weishenme, no one is going to deal with you?" He must never talk to a corpse again.

Nick stepped over the corpse and walked over to the bed to check the anti-theft magic, and no one had touched his things. The silver box around his neck swayed slightly, and the contents wanted to help Rick dispose of the corpse. Xi Ke touched the silver box to soothe him. No, mutilating a corpse in a civilized society is punishable.

At the end of this day, Xike has experienced countless disappointments. No professional ability.,A top boss with a poor personality.,Miserable treatment (and dragged down by the boss),And even more annoyed the boss's boss's daughter in Zuihou.。 He began to think about whether it was time to change jobs.

But his education is too low. A mage who comes from a make-up school and does not have an apprentice is the lowest level in the entire society of licensed mages. Coupled with the lack of money, he had no choice at all. Not to mention his Sooni background, everyone avoids it, and it is extremely rare for anyone who is willing to hire him after hearing about it, and even if there is, it is a situation like Hana's assistant - very poor food and lodging, heavy and boring and dangerous work, and no labor and health insurance.

Rick sat down on the bed and wrapped himself in a stiff quilt. Although he closed the window and filled in the gaps with a rag from the spot, the room was as cold as an ice vault. The heating in this house does not take care of this corner, and there is no heating in the house.

Xi Ke saw the stacks of books on the bedside and the ground, Xiao Horn was obviously a hard-working mage, but he was reduced to living in such a place like Xi Ke. Xi Ke thought sadly, should he kill himself by drinking sweet grass like Xiao Horn, right?

He shook his head. Because it is not a medicine that a decent mage would use, it is difficult to buy it in general material stores, and merchants will not buy it in large quantities, so the price is naturally much higher. He can't afford it!

Rick was shocked, this is not right. Sweet stamen is expensive. Those who can drink this thing and commit suicide must also have capital in exchange for better living conditions. If you can afford to buy sweet grass, then there is no reason for Xiao Horn to kill himself.

Xi Ke actually didn't think very seriously that Xiao Horn Weishenme would die. He had no interest in the causes of the dead. But if Xiao Horn is "sure that it is not a suicide", then it becomes "he kills", he kills, there are prisoners, and Xi Ke may suffer as much as Xiao Horn.

He jumped to his feet, opened the herb packet, pulled out the sacrificial knife, took out the brush and ink, and began to draw a circle along the corner of the room. That doesn't work, he smells danger! He has to intensify the protective magic in the room even more.

He carefully wrapped the room in a mantra, then raised his sacrificial sword and recited the incantation in Soni: "The king of the night is here, and the king of the day is there." The place where the ten thousand laws are disturbed is prompted by the light of the ice spirit. 」

A flowing white light appeared on his blade, like glowing water breaking away from gravity and swirling around his blade. Thin threads of spider silk were drawn from the light, falling to the floor and disappearing into the ground.

He whirled and pulled out the filaments of light, and he didn't stop until all the light on the blade was evenly buried in the floor of the room. This spell can detect magic. If there was an abnormal flow of spell energy, he would know.

Xi Ke put his knife into the sheath, and felt fatigue rush up. He put the sacrificial knife in his bosom and crawled into the bed.

Shortly after he lay down, he saw little by little flickering light appear all over the floor. It was like a centimeter or two of lightning bolting up from the floor. There is a spell energy flowing, but this flow is not like someone is casting a spell, but the original energy flow in this place is not normal.

Xi Ke decided that he must go to the Mage Practice Bureau tomorrow and ask if there was any other job to change.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The place where he works now is in the so-called "bustling area" of the country. The public buildings are quite complete. Therefore, a public utility that is not common and expensive to build can be found here.

This new magical invention is very convenient in that it allows two people who are far away to talk through an enchanted bell. Originally, this was an expensive time-based service paid by the user, but because it was covered by a staff of light, they gave a discount to their units. Playing the Mage's Demon Fight is free to go to the Wad of Light unit. Otherwise, Rick doesn't have that money at all.

Xi Ke came out to find the Magic Word Pavilion before he went to work. He was dressed in tattered gray mage robes, and he didn't fit in with the clean, brightly colored streets of the neighborhood, but he didn't care, he was used to it.

The appearance of the Magic Word Pavilion is cylindrical, with a red background and various paintings. Outside the Magic Word Pavilion, which Rick found, a large flock of purple cranes was depicted standing in a pond foraging for food or sorting their feathers.

There was a golden bell hanging from the Magic Whisper Pavilion with a small protruding number on it. Nick clicked the bell and pulled the rope, revealing a blue disc with a circle of number grooves around the height of Nick's waist. Rick poked his finger around the groove and dialed the magic number.

This bell is hollow and has no beads in it. This one is connected to the other magic bells scattered throughout the country. As long as you dial the correct number to designate another bell, after the two bells are connected, talk to the bell next to you, and the bell on the other end will vibrate, and the sound received by the bell on one side will be completely reproduced on the other side, so that users on both sides can talk in the air. This kind of jishu is not simple, not only to overcome the problem of long-range spell energy transmission, but also to be able to recognize the imprint of other bells in each bell, some people say that magic words are one of the greatest magical inventions of this era.

After Xi Ke poked the number, the bell made a tinkling waiting sound, and after a while, the magic word was connected. After a click, the tinkling stopped, and a woman's sweet and standard voice came, "Hello Mage Practice Administration. How can I help you?"

"I'm Rick Trigg. 」

A terrifying scream erupted from across the bell. It sounded as if the woman had just bitten off half of a cockroach. After a "click", the call ended.

Xi Ke dialed the magic word again, and after dialing, this time a man's faint voice sounded, and it sounded like he was chewing some crunchy snack in his mouth: "Hey, hey, hey?"

Xike heard the woman's voice faintly coming from the bell, "Hasn't he cursed me already? Will I walk out of the house in the middle of the night and be disemboweled? Will I give birth to a demon baby? People can't get married—"

"Yes, it's Rick. Xi Ke said angrily, and then roared at the bell, "What kind of bird are you giving me a job, there are corpses in the dormitory, the grass in the yard grows heads, and the cook gives me less food because my boss hates it too much!"

"Mage assistants, that's it. The Director said in a purely perfunctory tone.

"I've never heard of a mage assistant digging up a surging Diku grass!"

"How was the Wave of Diku grass cultivated, and would you like to publish it in a journal?"

"I don't know or want to know how that thing was born!"

"Calm down, Rick. It's good to wrap the corpse in toilet paper and throw it down the toilet to flush it, otherwise the garbage truck can throw it away. The Chief took the "corpse" that Rick spoke of as the corpse of a cockroach or a mouse. He changed to a serious tone, but he still chewed something in his mouth, which made Xike feel that he was even more improper. The Director said, "This bureau is a body set up by the Demon Court to deal with the employment of mages. All of our services are paid for at public expense, and there is no referral fee for introducing you to a job. You know what price you are in the job market, and we have to give them a subsidy before they are willing to hire you. You can't stop doing it because of a little setback, it's hard for us to do things!"

"If I die, I'm going to run to your house and beat you in your ear every night until you go crazy!"

The Bureau's reaction was daxiao, and the deep laughter almost broke Xi Ke's nerves. Rick cut off the call and crouched on the ground with his head in his hands. He remembered that when he had just come out of the spell school, he couldn't find a job at a reduced price. He really didn't want to live the days when he ate this meal, didn't know where the next meal was, and had to go to the shelter every day to wait in line for a bed. It's winter again, and the situation of sleeping on the streets is so terrible that Xi Ke doesn't dare to think about it.

With his hands on his knees, he used the force to stand up and slowly stand up. He shuffled out of the Magic Word Pavilion and went back to work.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

He returned to the mansion that did not belong to him, and was about to go to get his lunch, but was surrounded by maids. The young girls had been far away before, looking at him with unkind eyes, but now six of them were blocking his way and out. Some girls put their fists against their chins, some put their hands on their waists, and looked at him with sharp eyes.

One of them, who was supposed to be the leader's two-ponytailed maid, said to the others, "What can we do to make this thing a little more visible?"

Another girl took out her powder and hair dryer and said, "Let's start from scratch." There's nothing we can't do. 」

Then he was dragged to what looked like a mage lab, filled with bottles and cans, and the girls smeared everything on their faces and hair, and forced to change their clothes.

The girls treated Rick like he was a stone to be carved, probably the worst kind. Aside from telling him to "turn his head away!" and "close your eyes!", they don't talk to him, treating him like a stone that can't speak, and only caring about talking to his companions.

So Xi Ke easily heard a lot of inside stories.

"I heard that voice again last time. 」

"Again, it seems like it's dusk, isn't it?"

"That voice is really disgusting, is there a pervert buried in the wall?"

"I don't sound like one. 」

"What did Madame Result say?"

"She said I was nervous. 」

A maid raised her voice and said, "She said you were nervous?

"I see that Madame is taking more and more medicine, and it is not unusual for something to happen one day. 」

"Isn't it all from Hana? I definitely don't drink that liar's medicine. 」

"She tried to drag me into the rat club last time. 」

"Huh, what is she doing?"

"Well, I don't think it's unusual for this place to be haunted, and the last time I heard of it being dead. 」

"What's going on? Please, be more detailed?"

"I heard that the lady designated to build a house here, but the landlord didn't sell it, so he played a lot of tricks, and then the family fell ill and died, and I think it was the family who killed it. 」

"Madame has so much power?"

A maid lowered her voice and said, "I heard that she has been sick for several years. The old man had spoiled her because she was 'sick,'" she said, pointing to her head, "and I had probably hoped that she would get better if she did what she wanted. 」
