What happened in the Tower of the Great Sage was not widely spread outside the world. Mainly because the three-headed king-level monsters left their own territory, and the impact was too great. Not a single blade of grass was left in the civilized world they passed through. The members of Earl Sita's family did not want to be stigmatized for this. After all, those monsters ran out of the territory all because they stole the cubs.
Therefore, the best way is to remain silent and not let the outside world associate them with the losses caused by Warcraft because of the source of the news.
In this wave of actual combat, Lin also discovered some problems and started correcting them in full swing. In addition, before traveling through time, he was not the one who published his whereabouts in detail on the Internet; in the world of Lost World, he naturally would not publish these things on the forum. Although there are many magicians who like to show off in the public chat area what monsters they killed today and what treasures they found.
So the three king-level monsters that stood at the top of the world and dominated the world just died in a remote corner of the countryside without anyone knowing.
Elsewhere, the chariot and horse team of the Chamber of Commerce Affiliated to the Magicians Association with two young apprentices finally arrived safely at the headquarters of the Xijia District branch, Wulian City.
Generally speaking, there are two reasons for the formation of large cities in the Lost World. One is the royal capital of a certain country, or the location of the castle of a powerful noble. Because it is at the center of power and has developed commerce, the population gathers and a small town is formed. In order to protect the prosperous economy and population, a circle of walls was built, which became a city.
Another reason is that the branch offices and headquarters of each magician association are located. Since there will be facilities such as training institutes and affiliated chambers of commerce, a large number of magicians and apprentices will naturally gather. Then these people will need food, drink, accommodation, entertainment, etc., which will attract people from related industries to move in, thus forming a population gathering place.
When the population and land area are large enough, then a protective wall is built, and it can be called a city. Even if this city wall does not enclose all the land where people live.
The cause of the formation of Wulian City belongs to the latter. The name Wulian comes from the five connected magic towers that serve as the headquarters of the district branch. The main tower has five floors, and the four southeast and northwest towers have four floors. They are connected to each other by empty bridges, making it a rare connected tower building on the mainland.
Halumi and Kaya still miss this place where they have lived for several years. Just a little bit. Because not all are good memories here. To be honest, most of the things are fucked up.
The convoy of carriages and guards carrying the goods went straight back to the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters. The covered carriage carrying the two apprentices followed the team manager to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, which was on the first floor of the East Tower. When they arrived, the steward, who was a former magic apprentice, leaned over and said, "I'm sorry, you two. Let me hand over the receipt to the Chamber of Commerce first, and then I will lead you two to the central tower. The president has given instructions, when you two arrive After that, report to him as soon as possible.”
After saying their pleas, the two girls watched the steward leave. And sitting in a carriage for a long time is difficult even for the muscles of a child. So taking this opportunity, the two of them quickly got out of the car and stood aside to stretch their bodies.
When they entered the city, the girls were all dressed in ordinary clothes, and their weapons had already been stored in their luggage, leaving only a short wand with them. The cotton robe does not have many peculiar patterns, but it is very comfortable to wear. During the next few days of the journey, which had a higher level of security, the two girls wore these relaxed attires.
What is different from usual is that the shawl that identifies him as a magic apprentice has the five-united tower coat of arms of the Xijia District branch on the back, and the symbol of the Tower of the Great Sage on the right shoulder. The red ribbon is tied into a bow and tied in front of the body. This is the formal clothing common to magicians and apprentices.
If it is an apprentice who passes the first ring, the red ribbon will be replaced by a silver thread; one will be added for each ring passed. The official magician has a golden thread, the great magician has two golden threads, and the magician has three golden threads... in theory. In fact, when you reach that status, no one dares to have an objection if you wear whatever you want.
And this city, which has not been seen for half a year, is still the same as in the impression, with no changes. People come and go, everyone is arrogant. After all, this is already considered the core area of the Five-Linked City. Most of the magicians and apprentices walking here are elites who have been continuously cultivated by the branch headquarters. Their attitude of thinking they are superior to others is very obvious. In comparison, people from other places are also very conspicuous in spirit, and Kaya's black hair and brown complexion are even more noticeable.
There is no racial discrimination in the world of Lost World. To be more precise, it is because humans are not of noble blood, so they are not qualified to discriminate. However, in an environment dominated by Caucasians, different skin colors and hair colors are still very noticeable.
This was also the reason why the two girls had only stood for a while when an acquaintance approached them. A very unfriendly acquaintance...
As apprentices who entered the magical world at the same time, the people in front of me were undoubtedly much older, adults in their twenties and thirties. There is one or two silver tassels tied in front of the shawl, and the playful and disgusting expression is obvious.
They are both magic apprentices, but there are differences between apprentices. Some people have profound backgrounds and have a lot of money. Not only are their families responsible for the resources they spend, but they can even support the teachers who instruct them. Some people are extremely talented and can become a magician in a very short time. In addition to adding a record of apprenticeship to the magician, they do not spend too many resources. Such apprentices will be fought for by formal magicians, and they even have a certain right to choose independently.
The other type is those whose talents are only slightly better than ordinary people, and who have no spare money for themselves or their families. After hearing that their children had magical talents, they signed a long-term service contract after receiving a sum of money. There is no such thing as selling yourself into slavery in the Lost World, but what you do is pretty much the same.
This kind of apprentice not only easily becomes a burden to formal magicians, but also consumes a lot of resources to become successful, so naturally they are not popular. You must know that inheritance is the destiny of the magicians in the Lost World, but if there are no apprentices willing to be guided by any teacher, they will be forced by the association to work under some relatively wealthy magicians to do various miscellaneous servant jobs. You have to be very lucky to learn some magic knowledge. What's even more tragic is that they will become materials for magic experiments and eventually die.
Halumi and Kaya fall into the latter category of apprentices that no one wants. What's even worse is that at that time they were even more unpopular because they were too young and incompetent for many jobs. Of course, there are also some perverts with special preferences. They wait for the two girls to be ignored and finally keep them in the room at a low price.
But before that happened, Lin chose these two unpopular apprentices to take on the responsibility of mentoring. Although for a long time, he was regarded as that kind of pervert with special preferences...
The group of people approaching in front of them, led by the guy with a lewd smile, was a person who never concealed his intentions in the past. Although they are both apprentices, his family background can easily build up a small force. "Hey, two lovely people. I heard that your teacher went to a remote place to serve as the master of the tower. He couldn't support you anymore, so he was thrown back to the association? Maybe you beg me and I will give you a generous salary. conditions to accept you who are helpless."
Halumi stood in front of Kaya with her hands on her hips and said angrily: "No, thank you for your kindness. We are just here to help the teacher with errands, and we will go back after we are done."
It's just that the little girl's attitude like this only stimulates other people's perverted desires. The man smiled contemptuously and said, "You have been apprentices for almost three years.──" He pointed at the silver thread in front of his neck, indicating to the two girls that it was still just an ordinary ribbon. "─You haven't passed the first round of the assessment yet. I think your teacher is about to turn from disappointment to despair. It will be a matter of time before you get rid of you. It's better to take the initiative to ask to leave and retain a little dignity. Come to me, whatever your needs are, I can satisfy them."
"They are returning to the headquarters to participate in the first round of assessment." The voice came from behind everyone, and the two girls who saw the person restrained their arrogance and stood respectfully. The man who spoke continued: "And it can be seen that they are disgusted by your harassment. So please stop doing that and save some dignity for your status as a quasi-magician."
"What..." Before the word "human" could be spoken, the group of people who turned around fell silent for an instant. A bright yellow shawl with two golden tassels. Only one kind of person dares to dress like this in the core area where magicians gather, and that is the great magician with the status of inspector. The familiar faces of the two girls came, the Great Magician Grenwen who had led the team to visit the Tower of the Great Sage before.
"Your Excellency." The girls greeted respectfully. The great magician Greenwen nodded and came to them. Said: "The president has been waiting for you for a long time. I hope you can go and meet him as soon as possible. Do you have the things your teacher ordered with you?"
"Yes, Your Excellency." Halumi quickly held the bundle hidden under Kaya's shawl, waiting for the brown-skinned girl to untie the knot on her chest. The two men quickly took out the sealed wooden box from the bag, which contained the mall system that was to be handed over to the association.
Greenwin looked at the intact seal. He did not intend to unseal it and confirm the contents of the wooden box. He just turned back to the group of people who made the rude remarks and said: "I hope that the two of them will not be disturbed by anyone while they are in the headquarters. If If any accident occurs, I will visit you as soon as possible. Well,──" Looking at the unified coat of arms on the right side of everyone's shawls. Greenwin quickly recognized the group’s mentor. "──He must be a student of the great magician Hydra Kunich. I remember it. Also, go back and inform your teacher that someone from the Tower of the Great Sage is here, and ask him to come to the middle tower."
At this time, the steward of the chamber of commerce saw the inspector standing aside and trotted over in a hurry. While the person was still panting, he was punished first. Greenwin said angrily: "The president should have made it clear that he hopes they can see people as soon as possible after arriving. Why are you still doing your own thing?"
The person who was scolded had cold sweat all over his forehead. In Wulian City, inspectors cannot kill people at will, but they often use methods to make life worse than death and the end even worse. Not to mention that the person in front of him is also one of the backers of the Chamber of Commerce. Although he is from a different faction, he is not so important that his backers are willing to support him. His future and life are in the opponent's hands, so he can't help but not be afraid.
Seeing the slightly blessed steward at a loss, Greenwin also knew that the heat was almost over, and it would be bad if it passed. He asked in a slightly slower tone: "Does the chamber of commerce help them book a hotel?"
"Yes, Your Excellency. We have already booked the Blue Pigeon Hotel, and there is no stay period. We were originally supposed to send them there after meeting the president."
"It's too far." Greenwin frowned and said, "Let's move to the guest hotel. In my name, prepare a room for the two of them. You will send their luggage there first, and then go to the center after handling it. Wait at the entrance of the tower. After they meet the president, you will lead them to the guest house."
The Guest House is the first high-end hotel outside the South Tower. The Xijia District Branch is specially used to arrange accommodation for VIPs. Without the introduction of a specific person, no matter how rich you are, you will not be able to stay in this official hotel. Allowing two girls to stay here undoubtedly represents a high level of attention. Whether it's for some people who don't have eyes, or for some hosts who have eyes on top of their heads.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Great Magician, I will handle it for you immediately."
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Greenwin looked at the two girls kindly and said, "Then you two just bring your things and come with me. I will take you directly to see the president."
