The Gray Truth Journal was a B-rank academic journal published in the Mage Country's capital.
Mages were probably the combat job class with the highest average educational level. Many mages had the habit of reading newspapers and magazines every day. Plus, mages needed a platform to publicize their achievements, so it was only natural that they would want such a journal.
That was why the Mage Country's media outlets were doing much better than Saul's media outlets. Even if they weren't able to obtain any decent news reports, they were doing quite well just by receiving advertising fees from the mages who paid to publish their research.
That was precisely because this was the Mage Country that all media outlets, journals, and newspapers loved to use words like "truth," "truth," "truth," and so on.
The Grey Truth Tabloid was also a member of the Grey Truth Tabloid. It was still ranked B in the most recent annual rankings. Its weekly sales barely exceeded ten thousand, but never reached a hundred thousand. No matter if it was in terms of influence, readership, or financial income, the Grey Truth Tabloid was basically below average … It was basically the type of tabloid that wouldn't starve to death or become rich. The employees would just go about their business day by day, and perhaps the boss would change every year.
As the ace reporter of the Gray Truth Journal, Trav was ambitious as well.
He had just turned thirty-five years old and was in the prime of his life. The crazily increasing prices and increasingly heavy mortgage made him feel quite uncomfortable as he was raising two children. Not only that, his salary at the newspaper hadn't changed for the past three years … Actually, his salary wasn't much to begin with. All he wanted was to do something.
However, with the newspaper's meager connections and information network, even if he obtained any news, it would become old news.
But this time, his luck had changed.
He was currently at the top floor of a certain tall building on the First Street. He had been crouching here for the entire night. Not far from him was the Mage Guild's headquarters, which was equivalent to the Mage Country's government headquarters.
"Mage Quill from the Star Exploration Team was also kicked out. He lasted for more than half an hour, which is the longest. Tsk, even such a big shot was kicked out. They really are vicious … Quick, quick, look at his back, look at that footprint! "
His assistant and photographer, Little Dier, looked at him in astonishment. What kind of joke was this? Quill was a super mage who was at least level 9. Were you trying to kill yourself by publishing a photo of him making a fool of himself?
"Idiot, give it to me."
Trav didn't bother explaining. He snatched the camera and furiously snapped some photos. The main point was the footprint on Quill's butt … This top-level mage was really kicked out by someone.
Quill had an expression of displeasure. He looked left and right, but didn't notice the paparazzi upstairs. He then waved his hand and disappeared.
However, Trav, who was in hiding, was already quite satisfied. This Quill mage was one of the leading figures in the Dimensional Conquest Project. Recently, Trav had appeared several times as the person in charge of the Dimensional Conquest Project. If Trav made a fool of himself, it would be like a celebrity appearing in the news, which would greatly increase sales.
"Why don't we talk to him and ask him to buy the photos back?"
After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head.
The reason? The camera was already filled with a mess of things. This time, it wasn't just the cameraman who had lost face. It was only early in the morning, and more than ten cameramen had already come. Not a single one of them had a good result.
Since he was already destined to offend a dozen people, it wouldn't make a difference even if he had one less person. He might as well reveal some big news.
"Are these magicians crazy? They're taking turns to embarrass themselves here. Who's so vicious to kick everyone who comes? Quill is already considered lucky. Just now, he was sent head-first into the trash can. "
Trav hesitated for a moment upon hearing his assistant's question. In the end, he felt that it would be better to say something to strengthen the confidence of this unlucky fellow who accompanied him.
"Recently, wasn't there news about large-scale illegal immigration to Ansorenne? Yesterday, the quota was distributed. The Quill making trouble here must be because they weren't satisfied with their quota. "
"But why were they all kicked out? Is the Mage Guild so vicious? "
"Heh, didn't you see that a few veteran members of the Truth Parliament went in this morning? They don't need to report to work every day. Nobody here is an idiot. They're waiting for complaints to come to them."
"He's here, he's here, another one. Eh, it's a child? Is he just passing by? "
"Idiot! Hurry up and take photos! That's Quill Rorschach, a mixed-blood wood spirit! He's a major figure! "
The First District was the core of the Mage Country. If it wasn't safe here, then no place would be safe. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Rorschach even stopped using most of his detection magic … And even if he kept using his detection magic, he probably wouldn't be able to detect that someone was furiously taking photos of him from a nearby building.
He was indeed here to make trouble. He had just received news about the quota distribution. His quota … was zero.
Although he was weak and inexperienced, and didn't expect to receive many benefits, zero was still too much. To think that he had even applied to the Truth Parliament before.
This time, he definitely wouldn't go back if they didn't give him an explanation!
He directly went in, slamming the door behind him. He didn't know that there were two people outside who were betting on how long it would take for him to be kicked out.
"I'll get a cup of hot coffee in 10 minutes. If you lose, you have to buy it for me. Damn it, why is it so cold up here? I'm almost frozen."
"Although that big boss only lasted for half an hour … I think it's possible for him to last for more than 15 minutes. I bet 15 to 25 minutes. After all, he's still a child. Those Tamers aren't that cruel."
"Pfft, child? This year, he was ranked seventh on the Newcomer's Ranking, and twelfth on the Crazy Researcher's Ranking. Take a look at the information. Do you think those magicians will show mercy to him? "
However, the two of them did not expect that after two hours, Rorschach still did not leave. 8)
