Autumn is windy and cold, and early winter is in sight.
As soon as Dongfang pulled out a piece of fish belly, Pus opened his eyes habitually. His eyes were blank for a second, and then he sat up like a carp.
He opened the door of the dilapidated room and found steamed sweet potatoes already on the dining table.
Mother was sitting at the table, mending old clothes.
"Are you awake? Go and wash your hair quickly. Your hair is as messy as a chicken coop. If Master Mage sees it, he will definitely not be happy."
"Huh? Messy again? I just washed it last night."
Pus complained and rushed into the yard to fetch water and wash up.
The cold water in Jiuqiu hit his face and head, making him tremble with ice, but Pus felt warm in his heart.
Because today will be the day when he interviews the [Magic Forest]. If he can enter the [Magic Forest], in his mother's words, he will be prosperous in his life.
From now on, he is "Master".
There’s no reason why Puss doesn’t pay attention to this!
After eating steamed sweet potatoes, Puss put on the new clothes that his mother had bought by selling her silver bracelets. He was so excited that he didn't know where to put his hands.
To be honest, he originally disagreed with his mother selling silver bracelets.
He clearly remembered that when he was a child, his father wanted to sell the silver bracelet to buy wine. In order to keep the silver bracelet, his mother bit his father's hand. For this reason, his father knocked out a molar.
From that time on, he knew that this silver bracelet was his mother's lifeblood.
But this time, the mother still stubbornly sold the silver bracelet just to change him into beautiful clothes.
In the words of his mother: "Push, you have to remember that there are not many opportunities for a person to change his destiny in this life. A woman can only get married once. You are a man and you have no chance. If you don't fight this time, you will never be able to change your destiny." I may rot here for the rest of my life."
It was these words that made Puss no longer object.
"Don't put pressure on yourself. Whatever the noble master asks, you just say it honestly? If the master throws a sword to you and asks you to stab your heart, remember, don't hesitate, stab it in the middle of the chest. Remember, it's the middle, Don’t go sideways.”
Before departure, my mother whispered the most valuable experience in this life.
"I see."
"Go!"
Puss nodded, took a deep breath, and stepped out of the house with his head held high.
Wearing new clothes, he seemed so out of place in this slum. Along the way, he received surprised looks from the neighbors.
Puss enjoyed these looks, but also felt tremendous pressure.
When he was about to walk out of the alley, he subconsciously looked back and was shocked to find that his mother was still standing in front of the door, looking straight at him.
Seeing him turn around, he raised the back of his hand and signaled him to "go quickly!"
Pus gritted his teeth and left the slum resolutely.
Willis in the early morning is as lively as ever.
The young apprentices chased and fought through the streets, drawing scoldings from time to time.
There are various breakfast stalls on both sides of the long street, with tempting aromas that make your mouth water.
From time to time, mercenaries came with missions, wearing armor and armed with weapons, escorting carriages and horses covered with thick oilcloth, and walked out of the city.
Of course, there are also a large number of outsiders with unfamiliar accents pouring into the streets looking for jobs.
Puss had never observed Long Street so carefully.
In the past, he was always busy and in a hurry. He was afraid that his employer would deduct his wages as an excuse for being late.
It wasn't until today that he suddenly realized that Willis City had changed.
It seems to be getting more lively.
That's right. It was said on the forum that many country people now dare to call themselves magicians after learning Burning Hands and come to the city to make a living.
As everyone knows, the recruitment standards for mercenary groups have been raised several levels now.
"When envoys are traveling, pedestrians should give way!"
At the end of the long street, an aristocratic shout suddenly came.
Puss heard the sound and quickly walked to the side of the road to avoid it.
Not only him, but everyone on the street was avoiding him.
Even the mercenaries, who were struggling to move, restrained the carriages and horses, moved closer to the roadside, and made way for them.
Not long after, a group of unicorn cavalry wearing silver armor walked in order, and the sound of horse hooves fell on the long street like a drum beat.
Among the cavalry, several sealed carriages were protected, which were obviously the vehicles of important people.
"Who are these people?"
The foreigners on the street looked at the cavalry passing slowly with envy and fear.
"You don't know this, right? Did you see the harp sign on the carriage? That's the mission of Viais!"
The citizens of Willis responded to the surprise of the strangers with arrogance, showing off their extraordinary knowledge as citizens of the imperial capital.
"Vais? Where is that?"
"You don't even know this? The divine kingdom on earth of the music goddess Avnora! I heard that they are all a group of lunatics who would rather not eat than sing."
"Ah, is there really a Kingdom of God in this world?"
"Are you envious? Do you want to go? Let me tell you, only foreigners with exceptionally beautiful singing voices are accepted there, and others will be turned away."
"ah?"
"Look at your future. Stop thinking nonsense. It's just a city-state. It's not as big as Willis!"
While looking at the convoy driving slowly by and listening to the discussions nearby, Pulis thought to himself that the empire has become more and more lively recently.
A while ago, the empire just announced that the cold-resistant and high-yielding black grain had been successfully cultivated and would be fully promoted this winter, causing an uproar in the empire.
Before everyone could digest this shocking news, magisters arrived one after another in Willis City, leading a group of thousands of people to set off, saying they were going to build a city and a magic tower.
Now it's better, foreign missions are coming again, the empire has really changed, and it's becoming more and more lively.
If you think about it carefully, it seems that all of this started after the emergence of the Internet.
Or is it because of the Internet that he knows so many things
Puss didn't think about it deeply, because this avoidance of delay gave him the illusion of being late.
He hurriedly rushed to his destination - Felix Academy of Magic.
When he arrived here, a magic apprentice had already formed a landmark stone pillar and sat on it, waiting.
A large group of people gathered at the scene, and upon closer inspection, they were all boys and girls.
Among them were many aristocratic children in bright clothes and angry horses. Looking at them, they were dressed in exquisite silk and satin, and their necks, wrists, and knuckles were covered with magic props.
Pus, who had gained some self-confidence because of his new clothes, suddenly felt inferior and anxious, and even wanted to run away.
But when he looked down at the brand-new linen that still had creases on it, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to stay.
For the sake of his mother, he can't leave!
It turned out that a few days ago, Felix's [Magic Forest] suddenly announced that it was recruiting research assistants.
Recruitment conditions are very simple: literacy and under 16 years old.
This news, announced by Felix and Empire’s official website, caused a sensation in Willis City almost overnight.
I don't know how many people were so excited that they ran around all night.
You know, this is the [Magic Forest] hosted by Master Ajeev, who is known as the "God of Agriculture"
Who wouldn’t want to go in and behold His glory
The cold-resistant and high-yield black grain he developed has already caused a sensation in the empire and become famous all over the world!
His assistant Irene has become the dream lover of countless boys across the country because of her research on non-toxic mallow, although she is said to be a bit dark.
Puss paid attention to the magic forum and learned from it that in addition to crops, Master Ajeev also pioneered the research of a method of converting thunder magic into light magic.
Recently, magic forums have been discussing this matter almost all the time, and there are endless comments advocating thunder magic.
Pus, who has yet to figure out his horoscope, is thinking about whether to specialize in the thunder system in the future.
All in all, Master Ajaf has become a being comparable to the Dharma God of the Empire.
It is naturally a great honor to be able to join his sect.
Puss tried to register by mistake at that time and took the exam. Who would have thought that he passed the written exam.
So, this is what happened today.
"God bless the Internet, I hope I can succeed in my interview today!"
Puth secretly prayed to the God of the Internet, his palms so nervous that they were sweating.
