Banshee Fort, aristocratic district.
Little Powell stood in a corner of the garden, nervous and frustrated. A spire building tens of meters high stood in front of him, magnificent and extremely shocking. He looked up and couldn't even dream of how such a huge fortress was built.
A few days ago, the Powell family suffered a sudden devastating blow. Little Powell escaped from the territory like a bereaved dog, and came to the Banshee fort in panic. He hoped that the current masters of the Phils family could listen to his pitiful experience.
Obviously it was a tragedy of the destruction of a knight leader, but after a certain low-level housekeeper of the Phils family heard it, he only made a slight "um" sound, and asked little Powell to wait-your Excellency little Phils was very busy, not sure what Time to see him.
Young Powell thought he rushed to report in a hurry, and he would get the attention of the superior and receive him immediately. But in fact, he was the only one who was distraught, and his experience didn't cause many waves at all.
After staying in the hotel for two days, young Powell had to come to the city lord’s mansion on time every morning and afternoon to ask humbly..., "Your Excellency Phils, are you free to see me?"
Asking and asking, the little Powell was very frustrated. By the afternoon of the third day, Louis Fils was finally able to spare a quarter of an hour to ask about the tragedy of one of his knights.
Little Powell was standing in the garden of the City Lord’s Mansion before dark and waiting, surrounded by a series of arcane-induced flowers and shrubs, and a beautiful magic fountain. It was the first time he came, besides lamenting the extravagance of the superior, it was jealousy.
The City Lord’s Mansion occupies more than ten acres. Young Powell looked up at the spire for a long time and unconsciously compared it with his own wooden fortress. The difference between clouds and mud made him feel humble and depressed.
He has never wanted power and status as he does now, but he also knows that power is like a gloomy sky-he can feel the depression it brings, but he can't control it.
"Mr. Powell, please come here." a servant called.
Little Powell hurried forward. The servants of the City Lord’s Mansion deliberately looked at him and reminded again: "Please pay attention to your identity and be respectful. Your Excellency Phils will ask you a few words, just answer normally."
Little Powell nodded, feeling even more miserable in his heart. He has not inherited the family business, and can only be regarded as a commoner, and he cannot even enjoy the honorific titles of "Your Excellency" and "You". The servants of the City Lord's Mansion openly taught him.
Especially the phrase'pay attention to your identity' is even more heartbreaking, as if a big hand viciously uncovered Powell's scars, reminding him that he is just a son of a pariah.
The servant ignored Powell's changing expressions, and only led the way through the city lord's mansion. After walking through a maze-like journey, the two stopped outside a study, and then a personal maid went in to report.
The maid came out after entering for a while, but indifferently replied: "Mr. Powell, your condition and demands, Your Excellency Phils already knows. He said that he will deal with it as appropriate. Go back and wait patiently."
"I..." Little Powell finally burst into anger. If he didn't know where he was, he would definitely explode and even rush into the study to find someone to fight with him. But now..., "I understand."
Little Powell lowered his head, bowed his head deeply, full of grievances and sadness. He followed the servant and walked back again, leaving desperately. The moment he walked out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, he glanced back at the tall, magnificent and shocking building, and his heart was full of hatred.
"You're Powell?" Outside the city lord's mansion, an apprentice wizard in a robe called out, and also looked at him with contempt.
"It's me." Little Powell replied mechanically, gloomy, and asked again, "Who are you?"
"Your Excellency Bank wants to see you." said the wizard apprentice.
Bank
Little Powell's hard-headed mind turned forcibly, "Is it the leader of the wizarding regiment in the city, the strongest wizard in the North, and Master Banker who is known as the'Guardian of Banshee Fort'?"
The wizard apprentice nodded proudly, "You missed a title. Your Excellency Bank specializes in the'Prophecy Department', and he is also known as the'True Wise Man.' The master is interested in what happened to the Powell family. I want to ask you a few words. ."
Not allowing the slightest rejection, the apprentice wizard who came to call pointed to the carriage parked nearby and got on the carriage first. Little Powell is a little strange, but now he has no choice but to meet the'true wise man' uneasy.
After getting in the car, the wizard apprentice asked in his personal capacity, "I heard that your family was destroyed and your father died. Who did it?"
Little Powell was startled, unable to speak. It took a while before he replied: "Destroyed by demons."
"What demon?" The wizard apprentice continued to ask.
This question is even more difficult to answer. Young Powell's brain has a sharp pain, and he repeatedly deliberated with a dry mouth. Finally, he gritted his teeth and whispered: "It was destroyed by a demon named Victor Hugo."
Destiny mocks those who are self-righteous at this moment...
Lorraine was also upset at the moment. The week of study was over, and Mr. Seth announced that he would do a quiz. Although he didn't say what would happen after the test, all the first 23 students were frightened out of their bodies.
The reason is simple, the living treatment given by Uncle Zhou is very good. Free board and lodging, full breakfast, lunch and dinner, three new clothes for each person, and all-inclusive shoes, socks and underwear. Recruiting apprentices also benefits the family, provides highly paid jobs and provides a stable life.
After a week like this, all the students have lost a few catties of meat. Lorraine was originally thin and small, and could count every single rib after taking off his clothes, but now it has changed a lot.
But every time in class, Seth frightened the apprentice from time to time. He didn't mean that there were too many people to support, or that the owner couldn't use so many people at all, and that those useless wastes should be expelled. Every time he said this, the students were frightened.
No one wants to go back to the original hungry and cold state, all rare and precious current life. Everyone racked their brains and studied hard. However, the crit caused by the test is a huge shadow until now, and it is a nightmare to think about it.
The learning content arranged by Zhou Qingfeng is actually very simple. After all, Seth didn't study for a long time and couldn't teach any advanced knowledge. Lorraine memorized all the textbooks copied before, but she didn't know what to do.
"If I fail the exam, I'll be over. My whole family is over." After class, Lorraine secretly ran to find the'tutor' Farstin, "I'm over, you're over. You can't do it anymore. I got a copper plate here."
Facing Lorraine who was completely anxious, the black and thin Falstin also frowned. He has also memorized all Lorraine's textbooks in the past few days, not only has taught Lorraine all the content verbatim, but also added a lot of expansion.
The contradiction between the two came from Falstin persuading Lorraine to calm down so as not to affect the performance of the exam the next day. As a result, Lorraine exploded and cried on the spot. After crying for a while, Lorraine asked again: "How do you calculate the area of a circle?"
This question is really difficult!
Falstin said with a bitter face: "I am studying history, and mathematics is really not good at me. I only remember a formula, but I didn't care about it at all."
Falstin explained the last three questions repeatedly in the four questions of the bottom-level examination. In his spare time, he instilled a lot of knowledge about geography, history and humanities in Lorraine. Only mathematics is a trouble, he doesn't know how to calculate the area of a circle
"Teacher Ke Saisi said that the master values mathematics very much and thinks that mathematics is the most important knowledge. People who don't understand mathematics are stupid." Lorraine frowned. "If I can't solve this problem again, what should I do? "
"Ordinarily, this question shouldn't be asked again." Falstin had a sad face. He wanted to comfort Lorraine, but who would comfort him
The two grasshoppers on a rope were so sleepy that they had no idea.
