In a blink of an eye, it was noon the next day.
The seat of the Pangbo family.
This is a courtyard located in the center of St. Louis. It covers a large area and is extremely elegantly decorated. From an ordinary person's perspective, it is not much inferior to the royal palaces of some small countries.
At this time, Richard was in a huge living room in the courtyard. In addition to him, there were more than thirty other people here, all wizard apprentices who came to be tested by the Pangbo family. In this regard, We can indeed see the capabilities of the Pangbo family. In just half a day, as many as thirty wizard apprentices came after hearing the news.
At this time, a group of wizard apprentices were gathering in twos and threes, talking constantly, sometimes shouting, and sometimes bursting into a series of laughter. The entire living room was as noisy as a vegetable market.
Richard sat in an inconspicuous corner, sitting quietly and remaining silent. Hearing another burst of laughter not far away, he couldn't help but shake his head.
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly appeared from the side and asked: "You feel annoyed too, right?"
After hearing this, Richard turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a young man wearing blue clothes sitting on a high-backed wooden chair one meter away to the left.
The other person was about twenty years old, with blond hair. His face was full of displeasure at this time, and he complained in a low voice: "I really can't stand it. I don't know where such a group of unseen and rude country bumpkins come from.
They just quack like a duck and it's really noisy. It's really embarrassing for me to come with them to participate in this test of the Pangbo family. But fortunately, I have a lot of adults and I don’t bother to argue with them. After all, these incompetent guys will definitely be kicked out after a while of testing. As for me, hum, I will definitely be selected. "
Richard glanced at the other party, opened his mouth after listening to the other party's words, and didn't know how to answer.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
Someone shouted: "The wizard of the Pangbo family is here."
With a "crash", all the wizard apprentices stopped talking, returned to their seats, and sat upright. Occasionally, subtle whispers could be heard. Listening carefully, Richard discovered that the voice came from the left—it was the young man wearing cyan clothes who said it.
The other party first mocked the other wizard apprentices for being "prude", then looked at the three Pangbo family wizards walking outside the door, stared at them for a moment and whispered: "There are only three people, two men and one woman. It looks like there are two The male should be a first-level wizard, and the other female is a second-level wizard.
Tsk, it’s boring. I thought there would be a third-level wizard appearing. Now it seems that the Pangbo family must not pay much attention to this recruitment. Now I kind of regret coming. After all, if it's just a Level 2 wizard test, it may not be able to tell how good I am. If it were misjudged, I would be buried. Hey, I don’t know how strong this female second-level wizard is..."
The man in blue clothes spoke loudly. He kept talking non-stop as soon as he opened his mouth, and suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
Richard thought that the other party noticed something was wrong, but later he realized that the other party was being stared at by the second-level wizard who walked through the door.
The female second-level wizard is about forty years old, with fair skin and black hair. Except for the obvious crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, the rest of her body is in excellent shape. She wore a black classical-style robe with complicated lines and patterns, which gave it a sense of mystery. There is also a silver bracelet wrapped around the wrist, inlaid with more than ten fine rubies, which is quite noble.
After the witch walked in the door, she obviously heard what the young man said. Her eyes fell on the young man, and her eyes swept around the man's face very unkindly, as if she wanted to carve out a piece of flesh.
The young man didn't expect this to happen at all. He swallowed with a "gudong" sound, slowly closed his mouth, and sat on his seat honestly, trying to keep his mouth shut to keep himself safe.
The second-level wizard did not let him go so easily. He had no intention of looking away and continued to stare at him who shut up.
The young man began to feel a little restless. After a while, he slowly turned his head to look at the high-backed wooden chair he was sitting on, and concentrated on studying the wood grain of the armrest, hoping to disguise it as a mass of neglected air.
But his plan did not succeed. The second-level wizard still did not look away and continued to look at him.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
The young man couldn't hold himself any longer. He looked at the female second-level wizard and said with a smile: "Master Wizard, um... I believe you must be very strong."
"Hmph." The female second-level wizard made a nasal sound.
"It's really strong!" the young man said seriously.
"Then am I qualified to test you?" The female second-level wizard raised her chin lightly and asked.
"Yes, absolutely." The young man said with a smile on his face.
"I hope so." The female second-level wizard responded angrily, then she retracted her gaze from the young man and looked at the other wizard apprentices in the room.
After scanning everyone including Richard, the female second-level wizard said: "Let me introduce myself, I am the hired wizard of the Pangbo family, Peggy, and I am the host of this selection test.
I think everyone who is here now should be very aware of the recruitment matters of the Pangbo family, so I won’t say more. Please follow me, we will start testing immediately to avoid wasting time. "
After speaking, the witch named Peggy turned around neatly and walked out with two male first-level wizards.
The wizard apprentices in the room were stunned for a moment and scrambled to keep up, fearing that they would not be able to get a good position for the test because they were behind.
Richard was not in a hurry. He waited until almost everyone in the room had left before getting up. Looking to the side, I saw that the young man in cyan clothes was deliberately delaying until the end.
As if aware of Richard's gaze, the young man looked over and spread his hands to explain: "I can't help it. The witch must have taken revenge on me just now. I have to be careful and wait until the end to let her calm down.
I hope she won’t deliberately make things difficult for me during the test later. But even if she makes things difficult for me, given my ability, I will easily pass the test and be hired by the Pangbo family. The only worry is after getting hired. The other party will continue to cause trouble for me. After all, women hold grudges the most, alas. "
At the end of the sentence, the other party sighed worriedly.
Then I thought of something, looked over and said, "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is... um, forget it."
The other party waved his hand and said: "If you fail this test, there is a high chance that we will never meet again. So, if we really want to get to know each other, let's wait until you pass the test."
After speaking, the other party walked out.
Richard was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but smile, shook his head slightly, and walked out together.
