Throne of Magical Arcana

Just over halfway through the fiery month (July), the scorching waves swept through Luntat and Allinge, making it difficult for many people to toss and turn to sleep. Only in the early morning can they get tranquility.

But in the refreshing morning when the breeze was blowing, more than thirty people strangely gave up sleep, waiting early outside the Allinge Magic Tower.

They have men and women, old and young, some wear long black double-breasted gowns, some are the most common hooded magic robes, some have a well-tailored dress, and some are just white shirts with an ordinary The only thing that is the same in the vest is the tension and expectation on the face that coincides with the ocean.

Lowe did not have an apprentice's robe that could cool down and keep warm within a certain range. These days have been quite painful. Coupled with staying up late to study, his face was pale and haggard.

He looked at the "competitors" around him, and he was under a lot of pressure. The estimated apprenticeship of these nearly forty people is only more than ten. Others are not formal magicians, or the arcane level has reached the first level, and even the intermediate level. The magician participates.

"Being able to pass the previous written test and interview shows that I also have a place to shine, and I can't lose my confidence." Lowe kept inspiring himself, and then wanted to relieve tension to the magicians and magic apprentices next to him. Road, "You said, what question will Mr. Evans interview, will it involve the content of the new alchemy?"

A male magic apprentice with a nervous expression on his face kept ignorant, and continued his final preparations. The two magicians glanced at Lowe and saw that he had an apprentice badge on his chest, not even a robe. He turned his head away and communicated with himself.

A female magician with a round face like an apple was stunned and smiled, "I don't know, neither the previous written test nor the interview was attended by Mr. Evans, and the questions I gave were just within the scope of my research, so I I ’m a little nervous now, I ’m not sure. I still do n’t understand many things in the new alchemy. What questions did you ask during the interview? "

She didn't look pretty, but her smile was kind and easy-going, making people feel unfamiliar at first sight.

Lowe thought about it, retelling several elements of Jerome and the problems in the electromagnetic field, and finally said: "What about you?"

"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Erica." Ms. Round Face also narrated the interview questions one by one, exchanged experiences with each other, and guessed which part of knowledge Mr. Evans might focus on today. .

Several other mages and apprentices also joined in this exchange.

Nearby Black smiled at Ophelia with typical Holm characteristics: "Will you listen in the past? Knowing their experience may come in handy after a while."

Ophelia smiled lightly: "Okay, but I'm wondering why the total interview time chaired by Mr. Evans will be nine o'clock in the morning. At this time, the Allinge Magic Tower has just opened. For interviewers, they must be outside in advance. Waiting, it is possible to catch up. "

"Perhaps we are using such strange requirements to test our punctuality and obedience. After all, we are as apprentice assistants, not as arcanists with independent research projects." Black thought about it and analyzed it seriously.

Ophelia looked up at the towering magic tower and nodded gently: "I also think that Mr. Evans is definitely not the kind of person who enjoys torturing interviewers. His requirements must be deeper. The meaning of layers. "

On the eighteenth floor of the Allinge Magic Tower, Lucien stood beside the window with Rock, Jerome, and his own students, looking at the interviewers below.

Hearing Prosper's words and scenes, Roque smiled and looked at Lucien: "How do I think you are just torturing interviewers?"

As he said, he turned his eyes to poor students such as Annick. They were tortured by Lucien's "Arcane Cram School". Although the level of arcane and magic progressed by leaps and bounds, they often had teeth on their faces.

Heidi's chicks nodded like rice, and the teacher was a "devil" who liked to torture himself and others with a lot of practice and advanced knowledge.

Lucien coughed: "This is to observe their true personality and daily communication skills. They are here to serve as apprentice-level assistants. Only if these two aspects are good, can they quickly integrate into the institute and share chores for you."

"It makes sense that those who are arrogant and unwilling to communicate with those who are below their own standards are not suitable for entering the institute." Jerome quite agreed with Lucien's idea, and then asked curiously, "Recruit the incoming assistant, Will you also become your student in the future? "

Sprint and others focused their attention on Lucien, and were also curious about the teacher's answer.

Lucien shook his head: "There are already a lot of six students. I have my own magic study, arcane research, and daily life. It is difficult to teach more students. If you want to see who has the potential, guide yourself."

Such attitudes are common among high-level arcanists. They prefer to concentrate on teaching a few students unless a student falls, dies, or encounters a rare genius, and this level of arcanist The students themselves enjoy the benefits of his halo, and their actions also represent the teacher. The larger the number, the more trivial things.

Katrina and other students quietly breathed a sigh of relief, even if their personality was considered good, but when they thought of more classmates, the teacher ’s time to guide himself would be reduced accordingly, and he would not look forward to the new companion.

Nine o'clock was approaching soon, Lowe and others entered the Magic Tower with anxiety, and took the elevator to the Atomic Research Institute.

"Go in together, there will be a magic contract signed before the final general interview." Rock stood outside the Atomic Research Institute and waited for them with a sincere smile, because after this time, this troublesome thing was finally over, I will never take on this task again in the future!

"Magic contract? What is that?" A middle-aged magician asked doubtfully, showing signs of blessing.

Lowe recognized this as Mr. Isaac who had just communicated.

Rock said with a smile that he thought was handsome: "We at the Atomic Research Institute are exploring the forefront of the element field, which has many secrets, so everyone needs to sign a confidentiality agreement, and Evans is a quasi-arcist, a church and other forces The objects desperate to be removed, even other Arcanists at the Atomic Research Institute have become incidental targets, so in order to prevent assassins, newcomers must have a relatively harsh magic contract. "

"Harsh ..." Ophelia and other people's faces became solemn. Although they could understand the behavior of the Atomic Research Institute, harshness always made them worry.

Isaac frowned: "I hope the magic contract will not be too harsh."

Rock said with a smile: "Relax, you will not be treated as a slave, but those who are mischievous will be uncomfortable."

Lowe didn't care about the contract. He just wanted to enter the Atomic Research Institute and learn from Mr. Evans. For him, as long as he didn't betray the soul and flesh.

Under the guidance of Rock, the interviewers entered the conference room of the Atomic Research Institute.

Apprentices such as Lowe, Black, Ophelia and other field magicians can not control the curiosity in their hearts, and they look at the two magicians sitting on the top end with respect and excitement.

That was Mr. Jerome I met, this, this one should be Mr. Lucien Evans?

In Lowe's eyes, this is a young man with thick black hair, clear outline, deep facial features, handsome and excessive, but that pair of black eyes seems to contain countless mysteries and calm confidence, calm and gentle smile, However, people completely ignored his appearance, thinking that he was so in line with the heavy "halo" shrouded in him. There was no doubt that he was a powerful and terrifying magician and a profound and intelligent arcanist.

"Good morning, Mr. Evans." Under the leadership of several magicians who had seen Lucien, Lowe and others saluted with the mysterious etiquette.

Lucian nodded to each of them to find a place to sit down, and then his eyes grew deeper, pointing to a stack of parchment on the table: "This is a magic contract that you need to sign, and will be supervised by the Duke of the first floor of hell The person will bear the punishment from him. You look first, and start without problems. "

Listening to Lucien's words, somehow, all the magicians and apprentices who came to the interview were tense, and then took the contract that flew to himself in front of himself driven by spiritual force, and quietly began to read.

Suddenly, Isaac stood up flushed: "What contract is this, this is a unilateral slave contract at all!"

"Whether intentionally or unintentionally, no matter what form is used, anything that leaks the Atomic Research Institute and Lucien Evans will be taken away by the soul of Duke Agostino, the first tier of hell!"

"... The mind will be completely freed, and any thoughts that hurt Lucian Evans and other Arcanists of the Atomic Research Institute will be immediately sensed by Agostino!"

...

"This contract is more than harsh, it doesn't treat us as human beings, I won't sign it, and I won't attend the interview again!"

In his angry shouting, three magicians and apprentices also stood up, equally excited and inexplicable, and spurned such a contract.

Isaac was about to leave, but saw Lowe, Black, and others looking at himself and others strangely, and immediately said in disappointment: "Do you still have bones? Are they all like soft mud monsters? Dare to sign? "

Lowe scratched his head and wondered: "Mr. Isaac, the contract we have seen is not like this."

"What?" Isaac froze abruptly.

Lucien said in a low voice: "Magic contracts are all treated with eight-ring illusion magic" hint words ". Those who see it will magnify the fear in their hearts ten times, so the content of the contract will change according to his fear. What are you afraid of? "

"No, no!" Isaac and others shook their heads pale.

Lucien looked out of the meeting room: "No need to answer me, let's report to the Panel, Tang Pu, please."

Tang Pu, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, came in and took all Isaac and others away.

Roque asked suspiciously in the connection of the mind: "How can they be afraid, this totally unequal contract will not be binding at first glance."

"From the time you talked about this matter outside, you were hinting at them, and my previous words only emphasized the supervision by Agostino, deliberately not mentioning the specific effectiveness, and also deliberately hinting to start signing the contract without problems, Instead of interviewing and signing up first, through the layers of hints of illusion magic and my 'image shaping', they already believe in the truth of this contract in their hearts. "Lucien explained roughly," I truly believe in the truth The magician of the God of God is easy to identify, and it is the most difficult to prevent spies who sell secrets and companions for money and materials. "

In the shocked and thankful eyes of Lowe and others, Lucien smiled: "Now you look at the real contract first, it is not too harsh. If you are willing to accept it, then we will start the interview."

After looking at the new contract, Lowe and others agreed to sign through the interview, and then looked at Lucian nervously, not knowing what would happen to him.

Mr. Evans must not interview with "new alchemy", I am completely vague, Lowe and other apprentices beg in their hearts, they only understand the general model and concept of new alchemy.

Lucien smiled mischievously: "Everyone first talk about why you should enter the Atomic Research Institute?"

"Then introduce yourself to the advantages and disadvantages and talk about your own life plan."

what?What inexplicable interview question is this?

Interviewers such as Ophelia and Black are at a loss.
