The cement trial production was successful, and there was no need to worry about the gap in the northern city wall, and the safety of the border town was greatly guaranteed.However, there is another problem, at present, the only mage who can take on the task of burning cement is Owen, and Frontier Town can't even find a second fire mage.As a rare talent, magicians are a treasure trove of money wherever they are.A prosperous metropolis is clearly more attractive than a backcountry like Frontiertown, where magicians mostly choose to work and live.Although Owen alone can take on the heavy responsibility of burning enough cement to repair the city walls, he is a marquis, the lord of the frontier town, and he has to deal with all kinds of affairs in the town, so he can't stay in the cement workshop every day to burn cement.Moreover, the work of burning cement should not have been done by Owen himself, which is not in line with his identity.Although Owen doesn't care about his reputation, he can be treated as a joke by other nobles, and it is not only himself who is dark, but also the family behind it.Therefore, there is only one way, and that is to issue a commission to the Adventurer's Guild to recruit fire magicians.The adventurer's guild is mainly operated by a mission commission intermediary.In order to facilitate the connection with the people, adventurers and the country, it is usually set up in a large metropolis with a large population and relatively developed transportation.There are many freelance mages who choose to gather in the Adventurer's Guild and rely on quests to earn rewards.It's just that there is no adventurer's guild in a remote place like Frontier Town, so it is necessary to send people to the nearest metropolis, Dongsheng Fortress.Without further ado, Owen summoned Clive early the next morning, told him about recruiting magicians, and asked him to send someone to the Adventurers' Guild in the Eastrise Fortress to issue a commission.…… Dongsheng Fortress, in the downtown area with a lot of people, there is a conspicuous high-rise building, that is the Adventurer's Guild.Its iconic guild emblem hangs just above the gate, with a pair of wings surrounding a sword and shield.In the hall on the first floor of the guild, a large number of adventurers can be seen.Some of them were chanting for teammates to form a team; Some gather in front of the bulletin board to check if there is a suitable commission; Some consult the reception lady in front of the reception desk; Others have just completed the commission and come to receive the payment, etc.The more lively the adventurer's guild is, the more it shows the prosperity of the city, otherwise it would not have been possible to have so many commissions to support adventurers.“…… So, we don't need you as a team. ”In a corner of the hall, the captain of a team is kicking a team member out of the line.This kind of thing is very common, and if a member of the team is not suitable to stay in the team, they will naturally be kicked out by the captain.Normally, no one cares about it.However, the person who was kicked out of the team this time was somewhat special and attracted the attention of many passers-by.The man was a young girl named Fanny, estimated to be fifteen or sixteen years of age by appearance, with fluffy flaxen-colored curls and a few pale freckles on her cheeks.Incredibly, she was wearing a patched mage's robe.It seems that not all magicians are fragrant, and some people are not very good."
Captain, please give me another chance, I will work harder!
In addition to magical support, I can also help you carry your belongings. ”Fanny begged the captain that she didn't want to be kicked out of the team."
Just your little body, forget it."
The rest of the team shuffled dismissively.Shaking his head mercilessly in refusal, the captain took a small bag of copper coins from his waist and handed it to Fanny."
Take it, it's your reward.You go find other teams, we don't need you here. ”Knowing that there was no hope, Fanny had no choice but to reach out and take the bag of coins.From the moment she received the money, she officially left the team.Finally getting rid of this dragging guy, the captain put on a relieved look and took the rest of the team to the tavern for a drink."
Hey, look, she's been kicked out of the team again.""
Oh, that half-magician, normal.""
Look at her pretty pitiful, do you want to try to recruit her into the team?""
I'll go, don't tease me, who dares to recruit her, no team will want a magician who can't release magic at a critical moment."
There was a lot of talk among the adventurers around, most of them watching the excitement, and no one planned to send an invitation to Fanny.Putting away her purse, Fanny walked out with her head down, she didn't want to stay here and continue to be laughed at.Passing by the bulletin board, Fanny overhears an adventurer talking about a commission."
Hey, look at this commission from Frontier Town, you don't need to crusade against dangerous monsters, but you have a high reward, enough two gold coins!""
But they only need fire magicians, do you know fire magic?""
Uh, no, that's a pity."
Don't have to crusade against monsters?
Two gold coins!
Pausing to stop, Fanny turned her head to look at the bulletin board that was full of people.She happens to be a fire mage, and she is eligible for recruitment.The quest is not dangerous, and there is a high pay.Without much thought, she squeezed into the crowd and went to the bulletin board to look for the commission that the adventurer had spoken of.After finding and reading the content of the commission, Fanny roughly understood.The town of Frontier is in dire need of a fire mage to burn something called "cement" for two months.If you are willing to stay after two months, Frontier Town is very happy to hire you for a long time, and your monthly salary will be negotiable.For Fanny, who struggles with food and clothing every day, this commission is very tempting.She wanted to take the commission now and set off for Frontier Town.But when she thinks about it, she is just a half-magician, and it will be bad if she doesn't meet the other party's requirements after she passes.Not only did he not have any remuneration, but he also had to pay the tolls, after all, the border town was quite far away.This is already a big loss for Fanny."
Well, forget it."
With a light sigh, she turned and squeezed her way out of the crowd and left the Adventurer's Guild.After leaving the guild, Fanny did not return directly to her quarters, but walked in the direction of the cathedral.She's going to pick up a loved one.At this moment, the doors of the church are open, and many believers go in to pray to the gods with a sincere heart.Entering the spacious hall of the church, one can see a large yellow four-pointed star on the wall facing the main door, which is the symbol of the church.Underneath the four-pointed star is a statue of the god – a kind and kind young female figure.After standing near the gate and looking around for a while, Fanny noticed the familiar back, so she quickly trotted over."
Ann Li, Priest!"
Hearing Fanny's call, the young goddess named Ann Li turned around with a happy smile on her face."
AhhFanny, you're finally back. ”"Sorry, this mission is taking a long time."
Fanny explained."
It's okay, it's good to come back safely, your sister has been clamoring to see you these days!
I'll take you there. ”"I'm sorry for you."
Led by Ann Li, Fanny went to the orphanage at the back of the church, where many children who had lost their parents were housed.Right now, there is a group of children playing in the courtyard, with church people watching over them.As soon as Fanny appeared, one of the children in the group ran over in a hurry."
Sister!"
Fanny's sister ran with her arms outstretched, asking for a hug.I haven't seen her for a long time, Fanny naturally picked up her sister warmly, and turned around twice in the same place.After putting down her sister, Fanny touched her hair dotingly and asked, "Lilika, are you obedient here?"
”"Of course, I'm Lilika, the sister of the great magician Fanny!"
With her hands on her waist, Lilica said with great vigour.Fanny was slightly embarrassed that she had just been kicked out of the team by the captain.In order not to shatter her tall image in her sister's heart, she reluctantly squeezed out a polite smile.There is no way, who made Fanny often boast in front of her sister that she is a great magician, and her strength is very strong.
