I will announce when there is a contract. Now you don't have to break the bank, thank you very much. 】

A lot happened after that, but Rick doesn't remember very well. He knew he had done a lot. He told the fire investigators who came with the fire truck how this could have happened. Tell them what is in it that might get in the way of disaster relief, and tell them that there is nothing in it that cannot be touched by water (it will explode when it touches water, and it cannot be rescued with water). And tell them that there are no more lives in there that need to be saved, and that firefighters don't need to risk their lives to enter the search and rescue (which is important). When the fire was extinguished, the scene was fenced off. Tomorrow there will be a fire site assessment. He went to the magic word booth on the street to tell the insurance company these things and confirm the documents needed to file a claim. He told the manufacturer one by one that he didn't need to deliver the goods, and informed him of the plan to pay off the goods in the future...... After all the things that should be dealt with were dealt with, he hung up the magic words and stood in the magic word pavilion, not moving for a while.

Because of the popularity of household magic words, there are now fewer people using the magic word booth, and no one comes to interfere with Xi Ke. He just stood stunned, his head blank. Because he wants to talk about the goods, Valu has already beaten, who are he going to call next? Seren is on a mission; Nemo said before that he wants to lead a team to negotiate, and he should have no time to take care of it with a group of "children"; Xiao Ballast and Gahena went to a lawyers' group meeting today, which is related to the possibility of being accused in the future, which is very important; Ampat is a dragon gathering today...... Shuilonu was facing a very important exam, and he didn't want to distract her.

As a result, Xi Ke didn't fight anyone's magic words.

Dinner time is almost over. With a little money in his pocket, he bought a rib bento and sat on the side of the road to eat, but he didn't quite know what he was eating. Anyway, the owner of the bento shop shouldn't have lied to him.

Light snow fell from the sky.

Tomorrow, when the bank opens, Nick will go to get a new passbook. There are also a bunch of burned documents that have to be reissued, and even the mage's license has been burned. Rick held the empty lunch box, and after thinking about what he was going to do next, his mind went blank again.

It was time to go to bed, and Rick walked down the street, got into a cardboard box under a bridge, and curled up in a ball with a simple warmth.

Suddenly, he realized that the Ink Bear Potion Shop was over. The mage has always been unpopular in the insurance industry, his insurance can't cover all the losses, and he doesn't have enough money to open the shop again.

His right hand hurt all the way from the inside to the outside because of the direct enchantment. But there was one place where it hurt more than the hand.

His heart hurts.

He used to be so happy that he thought it would be a new beginning. He put all his effort into it, and every corner of the store was slowly built by him. He hurt like someone was digging out his heart. If someone really gouges out his heart and eats it now, he will definitely not be able to swallow it because the taste is too bitter. The pain in his heart was like a flood rushing through his body, slowly drowning his consciousness, and finally his body could not hold it, and turned into tears.

He heard his own whimper, and he held his head and hid his face, glad there was no one else around.

It's all over. He wiped his face with his sleeve indiscriminately. There is no more ink bear potion shop. He is a very serious person in everything, but even like this, he has never been so serious about wanting to succeed in one thing. He really looked forward to it, and that anticipation was burned to ashes.

He's had enough. Why is it always him? Why is it that others always come across all the necessary good fortune easily, and as long as they encounter some small setbacks that can be talked about after success, they can go on a good path. And even if he tried his best, what he got was doomsday-level destruction again and again. Why did he never have a chance to turn the tide? Why did he have to tell himself again and again: Be brave, you don't know what will happen to you. And what can others expect from the future that will surely come true?

Why is it that someone else is in control of his own life, and his life is always ruined where he should not be responsible? If he messes up himself, he will accept his fate, but how should he accept this kind of thing?

Why? Of course he imagined an idiot, believing that it was all arranged by the great will of some great god so that he could immediately set out to hunt down that heavenly bastard, but he knew very well that there was no such thing.

He's had enough, he doesn't want to be a good guy anymore. He wants to learn badly, and he wants to use the means of walking between law and morality. He's going to earn fame and money, and he doesn't care what happens to others.

But he knew he wouldn't do it. He knew he couldn't do it.

What should he do in the future? Will he help Varu with his farming? Varu's career seems to be very good, but he is a mage. He knew he was a mage. He didn't want to go into any other industry. He wanted to be a mage.

Rick fell asleep in tears.

Not long ago, on a corner of the same city, two small things were walking down the street together. One of them looked like a long-necked bottle, with a sheep's head and dove's wings, and stood on two feet. The other, which is close to the diamond type, has a bull's head and bat wings, and also stands on two feet. They are all demons, the one with the sheep's head is Samihot, and the one with the cow head is Mormingt.

The two of them were holding a magazine with an interview with Nick and were looking for a location.

"Xike's shop must be nearby, right?" said Samihot.

"The name of the city is right, let's go to the name of the district. "I hope he will like the gift we brought." Evan Sal's descendants will be tricky if they are determined to oppose us. 」

"Have a lot of contact with them and find out their bottom line. Sa Mihot said seriously.

While they were discussing, they saw what Hana had done.

Hana's mind was full of what to say when she went to court. Although the heaviest penalty for arson was under national law, she was 100 percent sure that she would not be sentenced to death. The judge will say that if she let Rick know when she set the fire, it is enough to prove that she did not want to kill Nick, and that she should be given a light sentence.

Potions masters eat by word of mouth. As long as Syk still wants to be a potions master, he can only be exposed to the public, and Hana will always find him. After being released from prison again and again, she will burn the things that are dear to Rick again and again until she burns Tick herself to death, and then she will be content to accept the sentence of life imprisonment (25 years with parole).

The two demons stared at her from two streets, and Sa Mihot's eyes lit up, "This is the ultimate powerhouse among humans. Kill others, but you will never be killed, is there a more powerful power in the world?"

Mormingt raised an eyebrow and said, "I agree with you. He is stronger than us. Do you want to challenge him?"

"Of course!" said Samichot immediately.

After that, no one ever looked at Hana again.

Towards midnight, three figures wearing heavy snow cloaks appeared near the bridge where Syk was hiding. The group slowly approached Syke, first performing soundproofing, and then one of them, a crumpled old man, said, "Be careful. He may have set up a lot of trap spells. He used to be a wanted criminal, and he was very wary. 」

Another handsome young man with black hair stretched out his staff and waved it next to the sleeping Syk, "There are no traps, and there is no defensive magic. There is only one basic warmth. 」

The old man said, "Oh. He gave up on himself. 」

Another short, childlike man said, "We've been looking for a long time. I thought he would stay in a hotel, but he actually hid under this kind of bridge, because he was too frightened, and the instinct of the fleeing period came back?

"I don't know how worried his friends are about him. Mr. Valu couldn't convince him to come to his house in the magic words, and he was super nervous. 」

"It's so loud that I hear it next door. The young man said.

The child said, "Yes. Then his friends saw the news and called one by one. Why wouldn't this guy have thought to contact relatives and friends? Who's going to find that dragon? He should still be flying around looking for someone. 」

The old man said, "You must also go to the Knights, and in thirty minutes you will be out to find someone." 」

The child said, "I'll carry him back." I'll be careful not to wake him up. 」

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Rick felt warm. He moved his stiff body slightly, and then it suddenly occurred to him that the basic warmth technique he had performed could not be so warm in this season. This should be in a house with heating on. When he opened his eyes, he found a pile of blankets piled up on his body.

He found himself in a modern office with a cardboard box, against the wall. He crawled forward a little further and got out of the cardboard box.

Rick turned his head to see the morning sun shining through the window. He looked back indoors. In addition to many of the staff, he saw a skinny little boy standing in front of a huge map of the country. The map is made of the material of the dart target, and the needle can be pinned to it repeatedly without damage.

At this time, a staff member took a slip to the boy and said, "This is a list of unemployed people who cannot be contacted, please confirm the location." 」

After taking the list, the boy condensed his magic in his hand and shot the dart at the large map, and the dart was nailed to a city sign in a very unnatural path, as if it had been sucked through. The boy told the staff that the person he was looking for was in that city.

The staff pulled out a map of the city, also made of target material, and hung it on the wall. The boy prepares to shoot another dart.

The person closest to the seat saw that Wick was awake and shouted to the boy, "Director, Mr. Rick is awake!"

The boy turned to Rick and smiled. That smile is like an adult smile, socially groomed, but still retains a lot of sincerity. He has short hair that is close to goose yellow, big blond eyes, and is skinny. Wears a fluorescent green coat. Canvas sneakers, thick black cotton trousers and beige sweater. He walked over with a crepe in his hand, and talked as he ate, "I've told you so many magic stories, and today is the first time we've met. He uttered the voice of a grown man.

Rick was still sitting on the floor and didn't get up, and he paused in surprise before saying, "Are you?"

"Ah, my name is Wichkey, the director of the Mage Practice Administration. The boy changed his voice back to a childish voice, and then to an adult voice: "It is more advantageous to speak in an adult voice, so I change my voice when I speak magic words." 」

"This is?" Rick didn't come back to his senses yet.

The Director stuffed a cup of hot milk tea into Xi Ke, "Office of the Mage Practice Board. 」

While Xi Ke was drinking milk tea, the director walked away, and when he came back, he took a notebook and a magic cage and stuffed them into Xi Ke's arms: "Take it, give me one by one." 」

Xike opened the book and found that it was Varu, Seren, Xiao Ballast, and Ampat...... It's all the magic numbers of people he knows.

The bureau chief pointed to the notebook twice and said seriously, "It is common sense to be the first to notify relatives and friends if something happens! Yesterday I helped you inform them that you are safe, and today you will fight again!"

"Uh- I'm sorry. Rick whispered.

"Hmph!" The director glanced at the clock, took another step forward, and flipped the book that Xi Ke had opened to one of the pages, "This is now!"

That's Shuilonu's contact number.

Rick began to dial, and the chief walked away very familiarly, and before leaving, he gave a soundproof barrier to Nick.

"Hey?"

"It's me Nick. 」

"Are you alright? Are you hurt? The chief said you're okay, are you really okay? I saw that fire on the TV was so big!" Shuilonu's voice was nervous.

"I'm sorry, I'm really fine, but the store is gone. 」

"That's gone, and if you open it again, you'll have it. It's important that you're okay!"

"It won't be opened again. Tears welled up in his eyes again.

"Why? Don't you want to sell potions?"

"There's no money. Rick's tears were about to fall.

There was silence for a while on the other side of the magic words, and when Shuilonu spoke again, his tone was firm, as unwavering as the mountains: "Listen up, Xike, I still have two subjects to test. After the exam, I will rush to your side as fast as I can, and as soon as I get to you, I will immediately hug you hard. You wait for me!"

"Okay. Rick choked. He found that Schuilonu's words had caused the flood in his heart to begin to recede. Although Schuilonu had not yet arrived, he felt that Schuilonu was beside him.

He began to feel that there was more money to be made.

When Rick and Shuilonu finished talking, he continued to beat the others.

The first one to connect was Naimo. Naimo said, "Clams, it's just burning down a shop, and I don't know how many cities I've lost in this business. By the way, I'm using a bigger unit than you. You use copper coins, I use gold coins. Compared to this, do you want to never suffer in the future? This kind of case is very willing to be accepted. I can help you with the pads. 」

Then he connected to Seren. Seren, "Is it really alright? You shouldn't worry about whether we're busy or not! If we don't report something, then what's the use of us? Even if you can handle it yourself! You're not alone!"

Then the ballast was connected. Xiao Zhu said, "What are you thinking if the insurance company doesn't ask me to negotiate? I don't have time myself, so I can introduce others to help you! Rely more on your network, otherwise it will be difficult for others to ask you for help in the future." 」

was scolded by two relatives and friends in a row. Next was Ampat. Ampat said, "I know you're independent, but I'm worried. 」

"I'm sorry. Nick apologized honestly. It's his fault.

When he had dialed all the numbers and lifted the soundproofing barrier, the Chief came over and asked, "What are you going to do in the future?"

"I hope to continue my work as a mage. Rick stood up, straightened his clothes, and said.

"Mage work, there happens to be one here, come. The Chief stuffed a book into the book.

At first glance, the title of the book was a complete set of archaeological questions for the examination of the Civil Service of Light.

The bureau chief pulled Xi Ke's sleeve and led him to the table where the magic cage was placed, "We'll hire you with a contract first, and if you pass the exam, you can become a regular employee." Go to work today. The fire identification is about in the afternoon, so you can familiarize yourself with the work in the morning, and then you can actually do it. 」

"Wait a minute, what kind of work is it?" asked Rick with a frown.

"Mr. Switchboard. The director laughed.

"Where's your original switchboard lady?" said Rick. There should be someone who screams just by hearing Xike's voice, and the reaction will be even greater when he sees me appearing, why didn't he hear her voice?

"Oh, she. The Chief's expression was indiscernible to what was happening: "She's married. 」
