She entered the fence and walked through the garden. She stood in front of the white gate of the mansion and pushed it open.
She had been here for several years, but no one was willing to hire her. Her risk assessment was so low that she had no income for several years. She had to rely on the money she earned from the previous years. She went to the forest and the mountains in Nola to hunt for some mutated materials. She wanted to trade them for magic stones, but the creatures around Nola were not easy to deal with. She tried several times but failed to find anything. Instead, he returned injured and spent a large sum of money to recuperate. Even now, he had yet to recover.
Nancy stepped into the mansion.
"It's you. I'm Angele, Angele Rio. Do you still remember? "The man stood up, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"I'll go first." A man with a mustache wearing a silver chain armor stepped out of the mansion. His hair was covered by a white cloth. His expression was calm, and he carried a brown wooden longbow and a covered black quiver on his back.
"Ask them to come in one by one. I need to test them one by one."
The male and female grey-robed acolytes standing beside her stood slightly further away from her. It seemed like they did not want to talk to her.
"Angele?" Nancy was a bit surprised. She stared at the man who just stood up. Suddenly, a confused expression appeared on her face.
Angele looked at Nancy and tried to recall what had happened in the past.
Beside the blue lake outside the villa, a young man in a gray robe led a group of people along the brown path by the lake towards the white villa. There were men and women in the group. Some of them were wearing leather or metal armor, while others were only wearing gray robes.
The leader of the group, the man in the gray robe, led the group to the fence of the villa garden and turned around to speak to the people behind him.
In particular, her long and slender legs, which were wrapped in white jeans, were still as eye-catching as before. Her long legs outlined the perfect curves of her body. She also had a nice butt and large breasts that were exposed by the leather armor.
Whether it was to heal her wounds, recover her body, or leave by ship, she had to find an official wizard, a wizard who was qualified to pass through the three major organizations. She could either be hired or become a follower.
"Why did Master Grimm call her here?" A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. However, he didn't show it on his face.
"I don't have time to joke with you. Tell me, how is the Andes Alliance doing? Was there a war? How is Marua Harbor? "he asked in a low voice.
Early in the morning, the faint sunlight pierced through the leaves and fell on the lake, the grass, and the villa, forming golden spots.
For some reason, Nancy felt a sense of familiarity from this person's face. Moreover, his accent and tone seemed to be a little Rudin.
Therefore, she needed this job very much.
Angele closed the gate of the garden after the man left and applied some energy particles to it. This was the most basic form of vigilance. It was said that some Magi with higher attainments could design spells that were specially used to maintain vigilance for a long period of time. Using magic crystals as energy, they could achieve a very good defensive effect.
The others frowned. Four people had left one after another, but none of them had been chosen. It was obvious that Grimm's requirements and standards were very high.
Nancy's eyes adapted to the darkness and she could clearly see the face of the man sitting on the sofa.
A dark figure was sitting on the sofa on the right side of the hall, holding a cup of steaming hot drink in his hand, sipping from it.
Ivan nodded quickly and turned around to face the applicants behind him.
"Alright, Ivan, let's go in first. We'll be fine as long as we follow the rules. "
Nancy's eyes flashed with determination.
However, the man in front of her said that he was Angele Rio. His last name was the same, his face was similar, and his accent was a bit Rudin.
The salary was high in Nola, but the expenses were high as well. Also, the wizards from the Labyrinth College had cast a tracking spell on her. If she left Nola, the people from the school would be able to track her down. The only way to leave Nola was to take a boat. However, people who were not from the three major organizations could not enter the three major areas as they needed to check their identities. There were no merchant ships in the public areas.
"Green … Master Wizard … You must be joking … Please don't turn into the person I once knew. It's too much." Nancy's chest heaved violently. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down. She thought of another possibility. She thought that the wizard in front of her was joking.
The female Knight's expression changed. She turned around and looked at the mansion.
* Creak * He opened the door and entered the mansion.
"Are you kidding me?" Angele shook his head and looked at Nancy from head to toe.
"Angele?!" She suddenly recalled the face of the young boy who had treated her with the antidote. His face looked very similar to the Grimm in front of her. It was just that after so much time had passed and his eyes had changed, she didn't dare to think in that direction.
"Yes, my name is Nancy Ariel. I'm here to apply for the position of a guard. But as you can see, I really need this job. If you are willing to hire me, I can pay you 20 Magic Stones a year, not 40. "Although she was puzzled, she still bowed respectfully and replied in a low voice. She needed this job so much that she decided to lower the salary.
It took Angele a while to extract the essence of the tree's heart from more than ten boxes of the tree's heart.
"I'll go next."
Angele had a blonde ponytail and a serious face. He was wearing a tight brown leather armor, a pair of white tight pants, and a pair of black leather boots.
The rest of the wizards scrunched their brows. It seemed like Green was a strict wizard. Nancy was eliminated in the first round.
"What do you think? Nicotine? "a female Knight asked in a low voice. It seemed like they knew each other.
The female Knight's face turned pale, but she was still standing straight. She put her hands on the hilt of the crossguard sword and it seemed like she was nervous.
Nancy tidied up her clothes. The leather armor she was wearing was her only high-quality goods. Although it was full of scratches and signs of wear and tear, it just proved that she had rich combat experience and was not a simple rookie. She would be able to earn more if she was hired by other wizards.
"Master Green asked you to enter the room one by one. One by one. Who wants to go first? "He glanced at everyone and spoke in a light tone.
It was Nancy, who was hired by Angele.
However, it was not something Angele could do at his current level.
Suddenly, a voice echoed in Ivan's ears.
Time ticked by, and another apprentice walked out of the villa, shaking his head. She stepped forward.
"I'll go next." She walked out of the room.
He turned around and looked at the window on the second floor. There was a man standing beside the curtain, looking at him.
The man with a mustache pushed the fence open and walked to the door.
Among the people who left, there was a beautiful female Knight and an enchanting female acolyte. It was obvious that this Magus did not place much emphasis on looks.
There were still six people left, and that was including her.
The process was boring and complicated. Angele could not afford to make any mistakes.
Angele could not help but want to rub her long legs and butt.
Previously, he had refined the Black Rose Oil on the ship and stored it in a small bottle, which he carried with him. The Heart of the Tree looked like a lot of oil, but the essence of the oil was not much.
After he returned to the villa, he immediately began to check all the materials that had been delivered. The Giant Tree's Heart and Black Rose Oil were the main materials to make the tree-killing potion, but these two were not enough. He still needed to find other supplementary materials.
She wasn't rich to begin with, and her magic artifact had been destroyed in a battle in the Labyrinth Academy. She could not even repair the advanced leather armor she was wearing.
Minutes later, he walked out of the room with a helpless expression on his face. He returned to the others.
There was a blonde girl wearing a brown leather armor. She had a ponytail and a calm expression on her face, but there was a hint of determination in her eyes. The surface of her leather armor was full of scratches and the edges were blunt. It was a sign that the armor was heavily damaged.
The hall was dark and all the curtains were closed.
The mustache man shook his head helplessly and left along the trail without replying.
Ivan's eyebrows furrowed as he glanced at Nancy.
"Then, I'll take my leave." Ivan bowed with a smile.
At this time, Nancy stood up, and the rest of the hesitant people also sighed with relief.
Among the group, a young male acolyte stepped forward and nodded.
There were not many coincidences in the world.
The others did not speak, but their eyes flickered as they sized up the people around them.
It was a man wearing a dark red leather armor. He had short brown hair and pale skin that was slightly silver. His facial features were not ugly, but not handsome either. His skin was flawless, and his facial features were normal. However, he was unable to give off a handsome and beautiful feeling. Instead, he gave off a faint and cold impression.
Nancy, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but clench her fists. She really needed this job. Although the people from the Labyrinth College did not dare to mess around in Nola, they could use all kinds of connections to suppress her.
* * *
"This is Sorcerer Grimm's villa. The ten of you will be chosen by Sorcerer Grimm himself. I'm not sure how many will stay." He warned the crowd, "However, everyone should be careful with your mouths. Although Sorcerer Grimm is the type who is easy to talk to, in case he is particularly sensitive in certain areas, and if you offend him, you know the consequences."
It was just like the first time.
"Your name is Nancy Ariel?" Nancy Ariel? "The man raised his head and looked at her calmly. His eyes were pale gold, giving people a vague feeling that he was not human.
Ten days later …
