In the living room of Richard's courtyard, a conversation was going on between Richard and Gro. Pandora, on the other hand, was sitting in a chair in the living room, swaying her legs in boredom, swaying, swaying, swaying...
"So, the person here is not a real wizard, but a wizard apprentice." Richard looked at Gro and said.
"Well, he is indeed a wizard apprentice, but I heard that he is a third-level apprentice, which is very close to a formal wizard." Gro emphasized.
"No need to do so. Isn't it too dismissive to only send one apprentice to recruit students?" Richard frowned slightly.
"Actually, the information I heard has some explanations."
"Well, what's the explanation?"
"Generally speaking, if a wizard organization comes to select students, they will park the big boat at sea, take a medium-sized boat to the end of the Emerald River, then turn around and go down the river, and land in some of the larger cities along the coast. Choose. But this time, because of some special circumstances in Emerald City, it attracted the other party's attention, so during the process of going upstream, a wizard apprentice was sent in advance to investigate some things.
In other words, the wizard apprentices who came were not there to select students, but had other tasks. When he completes the task, the real wizard will arrive and the students will be officially selected. "
"So what's going on in Emerald City that would make the other party send a wizard apprentice to investigate first?" Richard asked with some confusion, "As far as I know, Emerald City has been very peaceful on the surface recently, right?"
Gro curled his lips: "It is indeed peaceful on the surface, but it is all because it was suppressed by the officials. Some things cannot be hidden from me, so I still know it very well. In the past few months, Cuijin City has actually been in chaos, and people are panicked. , several families were attacked inexplicably, and some shops were mysteriously stolen, causing heavy losses. By the way, a few months ago, do you still remember the jewelry store where you took me to buy rubies? "
"Of course I remember." Richard nodded, and the appearance of a nearly sixty-year-old jewelry store owner with white hair quickly appeared in front of his eyes.
"His shop was also robbed. Hearing that the losses were heavy, he was so angry that his hair turned red." Gro said.
So angry that your hair is red? He must be so angry that he turns white, right? What is the principle of this
Richard was thinking in his heart without saying anything, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Grodao: "But even so, it is only a matter that belongs to Emerald City. You, a member of the royal family, and the official of the Emerald Kingdom are not in a hurry. Why should the wizard organization? Anxious? Why do we need to investigate?"
"Because these things are really weird." Gro said mysteriously, "I heard that whether it is killing or stealing, the methods used are not ordinary people's methods, but...spells. It seems that he is a wizard apprentice, or Wizards did it. Moreover, most of them seemed to be aimed at the wizard organization that came. Originally, many forces in Emerald City were related to the wizard organization that came, but now they are basically attacked, even if they are not attacked I’m also extremely scared.”
"Is that so..." Richard's eyes flashed, "It sounds like it's revenge specifically against the wizard organization that came here."
"But..." Richard's tone changed again, "But even so, it is only related to the wizard organization that came, and it should have nothing to do with me. After all, the wizard apprentices who came have tasks to perform, not to select students. , then there’s no point in looking for him.”
"Why is it useless?" Gro said, "Although the other party is here to perform a task, he is still a member of the wizard organization after all. Maybe for some tests of ordinary people, we need to wait until the real wizard arrives, but I am using some connections now, Well, some other people will do the same, but I can also ask them to help test their talents first."
"Testing talent?"
"Yes, test talents." Gro nodded, "Some wizard organizations attach great importance to talents. Only those with higher talents and younger ages will be selected and taken to the mainland. If they are unqualified, they will only Can stay.”
"Is that so?" Richard narrowed his eyes and said, but he already had a prediction in his heart. His talent was tested and found to be completely lacking, so he used scientific methods to crack the three life reshapings.
If this is the case, if you go for the test, you may be judged to be unqualified in one face-to-face interview. But... it would be okay to go and see it. After all, the only person he had real contact with the current wizarding world was the mysterious wizard who was killed and wore an iron ring. It never hurts to learn more about other wizard apprentices, wizards, and wizard organizations, as it will help you understand the entire wizarding world faster.
"So, Mr. Richard, do you want to test in advance?" Gro said at this time, "If you want, I can arrange it for you. Well, it is actually the time arranged by the other party, so in the end Don’t miss it. Otherwise, there will be no other opportunities.”
"Is that so..." Richard asked, "What time?"
"Tomorrow afternoon." Gro said simply.
"Then you can go and have a look." Richard nodded, "There's one thing I still want to know."
"What?"
"What's the name of the other party's wizard organization?"
"It seems to be called..." Grotto frowned and thought for a while, then said slightly uncertainly, "White Stone Tower."
"White Stone Tower?" Richard asked softly.
White stone tower!
…
The next day, in the afternoon.
In front of a hotel in Emerald City, a carriage drove up, then stopped, and Richard and Gro got out of the carriage.
Richard glanced at the name of the hotel - the Golden Wine Glass Hotel - a very famous hotel in Cuijin City. It should be extremely lively on weekdays, but today it was extremely cold.
This is somewhat abnormal.
Richard frowned, and Gro explained from the side: "This is where the third-level apprentice from White Rock Tower lives. He booked the entire hotel and drove away all the people who originally lived there."
Richard raised his eyebrows: "No one is dissatisfied?"
"So what if you are dissatisfied? How dare you challenge a third-level wizard apprentice? Are you not afraid of being frozen into ice cubes and burned into coke?" Gro said. There was not much sympathy for the victim in his voice, but there was a bit of sympathy for him. A yearning for wanton power.
After all, as a prince, he would not drive away everyone in a hotel under normal circumstances. He would not dare to be so willful, but the third-level wizard apprentice did. Doesn't this mean that a third-level wizard apprentice has surpassed his highness, the prince? What about real wizards? What about more advanced wizards
When he thought about this, Gro felt his heart surge, and he wanted to sit on the ground and meditate immediately, and then be promoted to the most powerful wizard. As for what he would do after becoming a wizard, to be honest, he had not seriously thought about it. But that doesn't matter, there is nothing wrong with becoming a wizard after all. It's like, a person may not know how to spend money once he has it, but having money can't be a bad thing, right
Richard on the side didn't know what Gro was thinking. He just shook his head slightly and then walked towards the hotel.
As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he was stopped. A beautiful girl with blond hair, about seventeen or eighteen years old, stood inside the door and said with vigilant eyes: "You... what do you do? If... I want to see you this afternoon." …Your Excellency, you must have an invitation letter.”
