What happened in the Tower of the Great Sage was not widely spread. The main reason was that the three king-level magical beasts left their territory, and the impact was too great. The civilized world that they passed through was completely destroyed. Earl Sita's family didn't want to bear the blame for this. After all, those magical beasts ran out of their territory because they stole the cubs.
So the best way was to keep quiet and not let the outside world associate them with the losses caused by the magical beasts because of the source of the news.
In this wave of combat, Lin had also discovered some problems, and he was in full swing to fix them. Plus, before the time travel, he was not a person who announced his whereabouts on the Internet. In the maze world, he naturally would not announce these things on the forum. Although many mages liked to show off in the public chat area what magical beasts they killed today and what treasures they found today.
So the three king-level magical beasts that stood at the top of the world died in a remote corner of the countryside, and no one knew.
And in another place, the carriage team of the Society of Sorcerers' affiliated chamber of commerce with two little apprentices finally arrived safely at the headquarters of the Sijia branch – Wulian City.
Generally speaking, there were two reasons for the formation of a large city in the maze world. One was the capital of a certain country, or the castle of a powerful aristocrat. Because it was in the center of power and developed commerce, it gathered the population and then formed a small town. And in order to protect the prosperous economy and population, a circle of walls was built, so it became a city.
The other reason was the location of the headquarters of the Society of Sorcerers. Because there would be teaching institutes, affiliated chambers of commerce, and other facilities, a large number of mages and apprentices would naturally gather. Then these people would need food, drink, accommodation, entertainment, and so on, which would attract people from related industries to move in, so it formed a population gathering place.
When the number of people and the area covered was enough, and then a protective wall was built, it could be called a city. Even if the wall did not enclose all the land where people lived.
The reason for Wulian City was the latter. The name of Wulian City came from the five connected magic towers as the headquarters of the branch. The main tower had five floors, and the four towers in the east, south, west, and north had four floors. They were connected by air bridges, making it a rare joint tower building on the continent.
Hallumi and Kaya still missed this place where they had lived for so many years. Just a little bit. This was because not all good memories were here. To be honest, there were more f * cked up things.
The carts and guards carrying the goods went straight back to the Chamber of Commerce's station. The carriage carrying the two apprentices followed the steward to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, which was the first floor of the east tower. When they arrived, the steward, who was a former magic apprentice, bowed and said, "I'm sorry. Allow me to return the receipt to the Chamber of Commerce first, then I will lead the two of you to the Central Tower. The president has instructed us to report to him as soon as the two of you arrive. "
After saying 'please', the two girls watched the manager leave. After sitting in a carriage for a long time, even a child's muscles and bones would find it hard to endure. So, taking advantage of this opportunity, the two of them quickly got out of the car and stood by the side to stretch their bodies.
When they entered the city, the girls were all dressed in ordinary clothes. Their weapons had already been stored in their luggage, leaving only their short wands behind. The cotton robe didn't have many strange patterns, but it was very comfortable to wear. In the next few days of the safer journey, the two girls were all dressed in this relaxed attire.
The only difference was the shawl that identified them as magic apprentices. On the back was the coat of arms of the Five United Towers of the Sika District, and on the right shoulder was the symbol of the Tower of the Great Sage. A red ribbon was tied into a bow and tied in front of the body. This was the common formal attire of mages and apprentices.
If it was an apprentice who passed the first circle, the red ribbon would be replaced with a silver thread. For every circle passed, one more thread would be added. The official mage had a golden thread, the great mage had two golden threads, and the Grand Mage … Theoretically, three golden threads. In fact, when one reached that position, no one dared to object to it.
And this city, which they had not seen for half a year, was still the same as in their impression. There was not much change. People were coming and going, and all of them were holding their heads high. After all, this was already the core area of the Five United Cities. Most of the mages and apprentices who walked here were elites who continued to be trained by the headquarters of the branch. Their attitude of superiority was very obvious. In contrast, people from other places were also very conspicuous in spirit, and Kaya's black hair and brown skin were even more eye-catching.
There was no racial discrimination in the magic world. To be more precise, it was because human beings were not considered to have a noble bloodline, so they were not qualified to discriminate. However, in an environment dominated by white people, different skin colors and hair colors were still very eye-catching.
This was also the reason why the two girls had only stood for a while when acquaintances approached them. Very unfriendly acquaintances …
As apprentices who entered the magic world at the same time, the people in front of them were undoubtedly much older. They were all adults in their twenties or thirties. There was one or two silver threads tied in front of the shawl, and their playful and disgusting expressions were obvious.
They were all magic apprentices, but in fact, there were still differences between the apprentices. Some people had deep backgrounds and were very wealthy. Not only were the resources consumed borne by their own families, but they could even sponsor the teachers who guided them. Some people were very talented and could finish their apprenticeship in a very short time. In addition to adding a record of apprenticeship for the mages, they did not spend too many resources. Such apprentices would be fought for by the official mages and even had a certain degree of autonomy.
The other type was only a little better than ordinary people, and they did not have extra money themselves or their families. When they heard that their children had magic talent, after receiving a sum of money, they signed a contract for a long period of service. There was no such thing as selling one's body as a slave in the magic world, but what they did was almost the same.
This kind of apprentice not only easily became a burden to the official mages, but also had to spend a lot of resources to be able to become a talent, so naturally, they were not popular. It should be known that inheritance was the destiny of the mages in the magic world, but if there was no teacher willing to guide the apprentices, they would be forced by the association to work under some magicians with more financial resources. They would do all kinds of menial work as servants, and they would only be able to learn a little magic knowledge if they were lucky. Even worse, they would become materials for magic experiments and eventually die an unnatural death.
Halloumi and Kaya belonged to the latter type of apprentice that no one wanted. Even worse, because they were too young at the time, there were many jobs that they could not do, and so they were even more unpopular. Of course, there were also perverts with special preferences who waited for the two girls to end up with no one interested in them, and then took them in at a low price.
However, before that happened, Lin chose these two disliked apprentices to take on the responsibility of guiding them. Although for a long time, he was also regarded as one of those perverts with special preferences …
The man in the lead of the approaching group with a lewd smile was someone who did not hide his intentions in the past. Although he was also an apprentice, his family background could easily pull together a small force. "Why, there are two delightful creatures. I heard that your teacher went to a remote place to take up the post of Tower Master. Was it because he could not afford to raise you, so he was thrown back to the association? Perhaps if you beg me, I will offer you generous terms to take in the two of you who have no one to rely on. "
With her hands on her hips, Halloumi stood in front of Kaya and said aggressively: "No, thank you for your kindness. We're just here to help our teacher. After we're done, we'll go back. "
But the little girl's attitude only stimulated the perverted desires of the other party. The man said with a contemptuous smile: "You've been apprentices for almost three years. … "He pointed to the silver thread on his neck, indicating that the two girls were still wearing ordinary ribbons. "… You still haven't passed the first round of the assessment. Presumably, your teacher's disappointment is about to turn into despair. It's only a matter of time before he sends you away. It's better to take the initiative to ask to leave and preserve some dignity. Come to me. If you have any needs, I can satisfy them. "
"They're going back to the headquarters to take the first round of the assessment." A voice came from behind the group. When the two girls saw the person, they restrained their arrogance and stood respectfully. The man continued: "And it can be seen that they are disgusted by your harassment. So please stop that behavior and leave some dignity for your quasi-Mage status. "
"What …" Before they could say the word 'person', the group of people who turned around were instantly silenced. A bright yellow shawl with two golden threads. Only one kind of person dared to dress up like this in the core area where Wizards gathered, and that was a Great Wizard with the status of a supervisor. The one who came was a familiar face to the two girls. It was the Master Wizard Grimwin who led the team to visit the Tower of the Great Sage.
"Sir." The girls greeted respectfully. The Master Wizard Grimwin nodded and came to them. He said: "The Chairman has been waiting for you for a long time. I hope you can meet him as soon as possible. Do you have the things your teacher instructed you to bring with you? "
"Yes, Sir." Halloumi promptly held the bundle hidden under Kaya's shawl and waited for the brown-skinned girl to untie the knot in front of her chest. The two nimbly took out the sealed wooden box in the bundle, which contained the store system that they were going to hand over to the Association.
Grimwin looked at the intact seal. He didn't intend to unseal the wooden box and confirm its contents. He just turned around and said to the group of people who spoke rudely: "I hope that the two of them won't be disturbed during their stay in the headquarters. If anything happens, I'll pay you a visit at the first opportunity. Um … "He looked at the uniform shield-shaped coat of arms on the right side of everyone's shawl. Grimwin quickly recognized the instructor of this group of people. "… It's a student of the Great Wizard Hydra Quinnipiac. I'll remember it. Also, go back and inform your teacher that someone from the Tower of the Great Sage has arrived. Ask him to come to the middle tower. "
At this time, the Chamber of Commerce's team manager saw the supervisor standing aside and hurriedly trotted over. While still gasping for breath, he received a scolding first. Grimwin said with slight anger: "The Chairman should have given clear instructions to see them as soon as possible after they arrive. Why are you still minding your own business? "
The head of the person who was reprimanded was covered in cold sweat. In Wulian City, the supervisor couldn't casually kill people, but there were many ways to make people wish they were dead. Not to mention that the person in front of him was also one of the backers of the Chamber of Commerce. Although they were from different factions, but his importance wasn't great enough for his backer to be willing to support him. His future and life were in the hands of the other party, so he couldn't help but be afraid.
Seeing the slightly beatific supervisor at a loss, Grimwin knew that it was about time. It wouldn't be good if things went too far. He asked with a slightly slower tone: "Does the Chamber of Commerce book an inn for them?"
"Yes, Your Excellency. The Green Pigeon Inn has been booked, but there is no time limit. Originally, they were to be sent there after meeting the Chairman. "
"It's too far." Grimwin frowned and said: "Change it to the guest house. Use my name to prepare a room for the two of them. You will deliver their luggage first. After that, wait at the entrance of the middle tower. After they meet the Chairman, you will lead them to the guest house. "
The guest house was the first high-class hotel outside the South Tower. The Sijia District Branch was specifically used to arrange VIP accommodation. Without the introduction of a specific person, no matter how rich one was, they couldn't stay in this official hotel. Letting the two girls stay here undoubtedly meant that they were highly valued. It didn't matter if it was directed at someone who didn't have eyes, or at someone who had eyes on the top of their heads.
"Yes, Your Excellency, I will take care of it for you immediately."
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Grimwin looked at the two girls kindly and said: "Then you two can take your things and come with me. I will take you directly to the Chairman. "
