In the reception room, Owen sat in his seat, waiting for the arrival of a second magician.On the other side, Butler Ryan was brewing a pot of fine black tea, ready to be used to entertain the guests.After all, the other party is a rare fire mage in Frontier Town, so he can't be lazy.Make a good impression on the other party first, and after two months, maybe you can keep it and continue to contribute to the border town.After a while, Owen's personal guard walked into the reception room and stroked his chest and saluted."
Lord Marquis."
Owen craned his neck and looked behind him, but he didn't see anyone, and he was surprised."
What about people?""
I was about to say this, Lord Marquis."
The guard replied, "The maiden brought a little girl, and I said that only magicians could go in to meet the lord, but she insisted on bringing the little girl in, so I came back to ask you." ”"One more person won't be in the way, just let her bring it in."
Owen didn't care about that, let alone allowed it to show his magnanimity."
Yes."
The guards were ordered to retire.Hearing that there was one more guest, it was still a child, and Ryan immediately instructed a maid on standby to prepare an extra cup of tea and dessert.In this regard, Owen just wants to give a thumbs up and say, it's really reliable!
After waiting a little longer, the guards reappeared.This time he was followed by two people—a girl who was looking around curiously, and a little girl with two braids.After bringing people in, the guards retreated to the door of the reception room to perform guard duties.The two stood directly in front of Owen, the girl behaved a little reservedly, as if she had entered the nobleman's castle for the first time, and the little girl hid behind the girl, showing only half of her head to observe Owen secretly.The first time he saw this magician from the Eastrising Fortress, Owen was a little surprised.He had never seen such a shabby magician, with a large burden behind him, and patches on the magician's robes that symbolized his status.In any case, the other party is a fire mage needed by Frontier Town, and Owen tries to be polite as much as possible, so as not to upset the other party."
You two, please be seated."
Owen gestured to the empty seat across from him.Looking at the seat, the girl didn't dare to sit up, and asked with some cringe, "Is it okay?"
I'm going to get the seat dirty. ”"It's okay, just let people clean it up when it's dirty."
After confirming that the owner of the castle really didn't care, the girl took the little girl's hand, put the burden on the ground next to the seat, and sat side by side on the spacious chairs.As soon as the two of them took their seats, Ryan brought three cups of black tea and a small cake to the table.The plain cake is for the little girl, and her black tea is also sweetened."
First of all, I would like to introduce myself, I am the publisher of this commission, Marquis Owen Eisen, lord of Frontier Town."
Owen spoke."
Hello, Lord Marquis, I am Fanny, the fire mage who has been commissioned."
After a pause, Fanny added, "This is my sister Lilika. ”"Miss Fanny, thank you very much for coming to Frontier Town, we need your strength on our side.May I ask, what is your adventurer level?
How long has it been an adventurer?
”Owen needs to figure out what the opponent's level of strength is so that he can further design the training schedule.After hesitating for a moment, Fanny replied, "White porcelain level, I have been an adventurer for two years." ”"What?"
Owen thought he had misheard.It wasn't until Fanny repeated it again that he was sure he had heard him correctly.That's right, it's the White Porcelain level, the lowest level of the adventurer level.Why is it that after two years of being an adventurer, it is still white porcelain?
Although there is no level requirement for the commission issued by Owen, and the adventurer's guild will naturally post it on the bulletin board when it sees that the content of the commission is not dangerous, but it does not mean that anyone who meets the requirements can take the commission.It's a commission issued by the lord, don't you have enough knowledge of your own strength?
Two years still staying at the white porcelain level is enough to explain the problem.Xu sensed that Owen was dissatisfied with his rank, and Fanny was anxious to show off her strengths."
I am very hard-working, no matter what kind of work, I will do it.In terms of magic, my magic must be sufficient, but there is a little problem with casting magic......"
Fanny's last sentence was very quiet, and it seemed that she was very unconfident in her magic.It's not a question of whether to endure hardship or not, Owen thought disappointedly.However, she said that she had enough magic powers, so should she test it further?
After thinking for a moment, Owen looked up at Ryan and nodded.Ryan understood and immediately exited the reception room.After a while, he returned, holding a clear crystal ball with a stand in both hands.Placing it on the table, Ryan stepped aside."
It's a magic induction bead."
Owen introduced, "Miss Fanny, I want to test your magical powers, can I?"
”"Yes, yes."
Fanny nodded vigorously, for fear that Owen wouldn't want her."
Then, you can put your hand on the induction bead and inject a little magic into it."
Getting up and leaving her seat, Fanny walked over to the beads and reached out to touch them, feeling a little cold.Next, she drove the magic power in her body to slowly inject the induction beads.With a bang, the induction bead emitted a soft glow of bright white.Starting from the bottom, a blue liquid flowing like water appears inside the bead, and the liquid gradually increases, soon taking up about three-quarters of the volume of the bead, and then no longer increases.Owen's expression on the side gradually became surprised, staring at the final test results of the induction beads.This magic power is more than twice as high as that of the magician who is already working in the cement workshop.With this level of magic, why is he still a white porcelain adventurer?
He couldn't figure it out."
When the test is done, you can put your hands down."
Owen reminded.Fanny took her hand down, and the bead returned to its original state.With a hint of tiredness flashing across her face, she exhaled lightly and returned to her original seat.This detail was keenly captured by Owen, who remembered that she had previously said that she had problems with her magic.I see, Owen nodded secretly, a little understood, but there was still something I couldn't figure out."
Miss Fanny, you seem to have a hard time manipulating magic, why is that?""
Huh?
Do you have to say it?
”Fanny was taken aback, obviously not wanting to reveal her private affairs."
Yes, firing cement requires precise manipulation of magic, and if you don't want to explain why, then I'll have to ......"
I said!
That's because ......
"Fanny was worried that Owen didn't want her, so she completely figured out that she had taken less than half of the magic courses at the Adventurer Academy, and that she had figured out all the magic manipulation by herself, and later revealed that her parents were killed and adopted by relatives, and she didn't mention that she was almost sold."
Now, everyone understands that they haven't taken a magic manipulation class.In this regard, Owen can teach Fanny himself and borrow her relevant books, depending on how well she can learn.However, it may be a loss to do so, and if the other party only stays in the border town for two months and leaves, won't the initial investment be in vain?
Therefore, Owen can't directly hire Fanny as stated in the commission, and needs to be flexible.
