Seeing the beautiful girl blocking the road, Richard was slightly startled and quickly thought of some related things.
First, if a pretty girl is very nervous, it means that she may have just started the job and has little previous experience.
Secondly, the beautiful girl saw Grotto behind her, but still stopped him, which meant that the other person did not know Grotto and was not sent by the royal family of the Emerald Kingdom. It was possible that the so-called Mr. Warner found him himself.
Third, logically speaking, if the so-called Mr. Wall wants to find someone to take care of his life, it is understandable to have a few beautiful maids, but if the doorkeepers are replaced by girls, this is a bit much - it seems that this Hual You are not an ordinary person.
Tsk tsk.
Richard was thinking, and Gro, who was behind him, walked up quickly, glanced at the beautiful girl, and confidently took out a gold-plated invitation letter from his arms and handed it over, saying: "I am Prince Gro. For those who are allowed to take part in the test by Lord Wall, you can check the invitation letter.”
After hearing what Gro said, the beautiful girl suddenly became very nervous. She obviously did not expect that His Highness the Prince was coming. To be honest, she was a little confused. Was it the Lord Wall inside who had a higher status, or the prince in front of him who had a higher status, or the one next to him who didn't talk much
The beautiful girl hurriedly took the invitation and said in a panic: "Well, it's... His Highness the Prince, then... you... please... please..." She couldn't speak clearly, and looked like she was about to cry.
Richard looked at the other person's expression and shook his head slightly, confirming some of his guesses.
Gro didn't pay too much attention to this. He nodded and walked inside with Richard. Finally, under the guidance of another beautiful girl inside, he walked into a huge box in the hotel.
The private room covers an area of nearly 100 square meters. It was originally used as a gathering place for some guests of the hotel, but at this time it was arranged into a small auditorium.
When Richard and Glo walked in, they saw more than ten rows of seats neatly arranged inside. Some of the seats were scattered with many young people already sitting there. Most of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked like they were sitting there. They are all nobles.
Richard and Grotto chose a relatively back corner and sat down. Richard asked Grotto slowly: "There are so many noble young people in Emerald City who want to become wizards?"
"Oh, how is that possible?" Gro said with some scorn, "Although the people sitting here all look like real nobles, most of them don't even have the lowest title. They are not the first heirs, and more They are all heirs or illegitimate children of unknown rank.
Therefore, no matter how big their family is, it will not be their turn to inherit the family business. While their father, the head of the family, is alive, they are like slaves, who can only obey orders and receive a meager allowance to survive. Without their father's consent, they cannot even pursue a career. When their father died, they were even more miserable. They even lost their allowance. Unless they could shamelessly compete with a group of poor people for job opportunities, they would have to consider a way out that would not starve to death. "
"Is that so?" Richard nodded, understanding. In a world similar to the Middle Ages, patriarchy was indeed supreme. Without the permission of the father of the family, the sons of the family had almost no autonomy, even if they were nobles.
If he is the eldest son, or the first heir who has been determined, there may be some hope that he can inherit most of the family property and gain a foothold in politics with the support of family strength. The remaining sons in the family are much more miserable, and sometimes they are almost like slaves in another form. This is also one of the reasons why patricide incidents occurred one after another in the Middle Ages.
"In their view, becoming a wizard may be a way out, so they will find a way to try their luck here." Grodao, "Although they don't know what they will encounter when becoming a wizard, it will definitely not be worse than what they are experiencing. It's even worse. As far as I know, several of them have been blocked at the door of their homes many times because of borrowing money from lenders. They are really embarrassed. Maybe they are looking forward to becoming wizards once they become wizards. , those debt collectors just let them go.
In fact, their family members support them coming here. What if they are lucky enough to become a wizard? After all, no matter how powerful a family is, there is no guarantee that one day it will suddenly weaken and perish. When the time comes, leaving a bloodline outside will leave a glimmer of hope. But...according to my experience, most of the people here are not talented. "
After hearing what Gro said, Richard nodded again, knowing that this was very normal. According to the description in "The Chapter of Monroe", there are really not many people with qualified wizard talents. It can even be said that they are very few, less than one in ten thousand. Generally speaking, people with wizard talents should appear more among civilians rather than nobles. After all, the base of civilians is larger.
Richard and Grotto continued to talk softly. The person sitting in front heard it, looked over subconsciously, and immediately recognized Grotto. With a shout, a large group of people in the room immediately buzzed around like flies smelling the smell of blood, greeting Gro with enthusiasm.
"You...are you Prince Gro? I am Dox Mompa of the Mompa family. Hello, prince!"
"Prince Gro, I'm so excited. Do you remember me? I met him once at the previous auction. Well, I am Rank Tuhart from the Tuhart family!"
"Prince Gro..."
"prince… "
After a long time of effort, Gro sent the group of people away, turned to Richard and said, "See, Sir Richard, they are actually a group of speculators, and they will not let go of any opportunity for speculation. In their eyes, there is no difference between fawning over me, the prince, and trying to become a wizard. But they and I are completely different. It's just a pity that I don't have the talent to become a wizard, damn it! But I will still work hard! "
"Ha." Richard smiled, looked at Gro, and asked: "Then what makes you different from them? Why do you want to become a wizard? To ensure your own safety? You are already safe. .For the so-called meaning of life? Didn’t your teacher teach you that life has no meaning in the first place?"
"I..." Gro hesitated, and after a while he said, "Actually, I don't know why I want to become a wizard, but... becoming a wizard should be right, and I am absolutely different from this group of people. , even though I can’t tell the difference for now.”
"Uh, okay."
At this moment, someone shouted, "Here comes Mr. Wall," and the entire box, or rather the small auditorium, quickly fell silent.
"Da da da", the clear footsteps came from the outer corridor from far to near, and arrived in front of the door.
