Chapter 959: The Wheel of History
In Richard's opinion, under normal circumstances, according to the character shown by Peggy, a short wizard apprentice would definitely be thrown out if he made such a big mistake. However, Peggy held back.
This is definitely not because the short wizard apprentice is excellent, but because a person who has mastered the skills of the magic pattern may be very important to the Pombo family.
The Pombo family has a large number of knights in magical costumes, and they are a very powerful force, which is why they have been able to rule the city of St. Louis for so many years.
However, the greater the number of Knights, the more Magicians are needed to maintain them.
The Yaheng master in Peggy's mouth should be such a person. However, just one or two such people are far from enough for the Pombo family, and more fresh blood is needed. Even if this fresh blood is bad, as long as it can meet certain basic conditions, it will try to absorb it.
That's why Peggy gave the short wizard apprentice one last chance.
In a sense, for the Pombo family, a future magician is more important than a future wizard. After all, a Wizard can consistently create Knights in Disguise, while a Wizard can only be a person.
Admittedly, if a wizard is strong enough, he can slaughter a knight in large numbers. But...... Where is the powerful wizard so easy to encounter, or the magic pattern master is more realistic, more in line with interests, and better controlled.
In the rest of the main continent, it should be a similar situation.
To put it simply, the Demonic Pattern Master, who didn't have much effect on the East Coast, became extremely important in the Main Continent. With the continuous development of the Knights, the Magicians will become more and more valued, and perhaps in a few decades or hundreds of years, the status of the Magicians will be much higher than that of wizards.
This is a trend, a trend, the wheel of history.
In other words, the main continent is changing insidiously and rapidly.
It may seem like a small change, but it's essential and subversive.
If this situation continues, the world of the future will be very different from the present.
As for what it would be like, he couldn't guess.
Richard raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but think of what the Supreme Order God Society was doing on the East Coast, and some of the actions of the Truth Society on the main continent, as if he had discovered something terrible, and found a clue to a certain truth.
But the clues were too scattered and vague for him to grasp the key.
Little by little, Richard withdrew his thoughts.
At this time, the short wizard apprentice, led by the male wizard, had disappeared outside the door, and Peggy looked over and said, "Okay, you come with me, I'll send you to a few places where you need to be employed." You're going to be working there for the next few months, and hopefully you'll all do well. If you can't do that, then you will be replaced, or even kicked out. Got it?"
The crowd nodded.
"That's good. Peggy said and walked out the door.
Richard and his party followed, following Peggy all the way around and around, and three or four minutes later they came to a garden.
Standing at the gate of the garden, Peggy randomly ordered two people, pointed to the long row of houses hidden in the garden, and said, "You two, go to the last house over there to find an old man with brown hair, he is called Modi." Tell him I let you go, and he'll know what to do next. ”
The two men who were ordered walked out and walked into the distance.
One of them took two steps, stopped, and whispered to Peggy, "Wizard, can I ask what we are going to do next?"
"When you meet Modi, he will tell you. Peggy said.
"Okay. The man who stopped his steps, caught up with the footsteps of another man, and walked to the very last house.
"Alright, let's move on. Peggy said, and set off again with the group.
After a while, he stopped in front of a warehouse, left two of them, and there were only four people left in the group, in addition to Richard, Brando, and Fordin, and there was also a male apprentice dressed in blue.
Continuing on, five minutes later, Peggy and the four of them stopped in a pavilion, looked at the four of them a few times, stretched out their fingers at Brandy and Richard, and said, "You two stay, someone will come over in a while and tell you what to do." ”
He waved his hand to Buddha Ding and the male apprentice in blue: "As for you two, come with me, and I will send you to the final place." ”
With that, Peggy leaves the pavilion with Phodin and the male apprentice, leaving Richard and Brando where they are.
Richard and Brando waited patiently in the pavilion for ten minutes, and with the sound of footsteps, a stout male wizard appeared.
The male wizard glanced at Richard and asked, "Wizard Peggy asked you to wait for me here?"
"Yes. ”
"Alright, come with me. The stout wizard turned and left, and Richard and Brando looked at each other and followed.
This time the walk was a little longer, about ten minutes, and almost crossed the small half of the Pombo family's residence, and finally reached a delicate small courtyard.
The ground in the courtyard is covered with green lawns, surrounded by flowers of various colors, and there is a small fountain in the center.
After the strong wizard walked into the courtyard with Richard and Brando, he lowered his voice and pointed to the house in the courtyard with closed doors and windows: "Miss Anne is sleeping in it, and when you wake up and come out, you will tell her that you are the new apprentice." After that, you can just stay with Miss Anne, and there will usually be nothing difficult for you to do, as long as you don't make Miss Anne angry. ”
Miss Anne?the dark gothic girl I've seen before...... Richard raised his eyebrows, although he thought that this time the Pombo family recruited people, it was the reason why the other party directly dismissed the other party because he was assassinated and dissatisfied with the performance of the original two waiters, but he didn't expect that he would really be assigned to the other party's side.
A 1 in 4 chance.
"Miss Annie!" Brando next to him cried out and said in surprise, "Could it be that the girl of the Pombo family's generation is very talented, the one who is regarded as the future head of the family?"
"Shhhhh ”
"Well, yes, yes, my fault, my fault. Brando reacted, apologized again and again, and explained, "I've only heard the name of this eldest lady before, but I've never seen it, so I'm a little excited." ”
"It's good to know what's wrong. The strong wizard said angrily, and continued to lower his voice, "Anyway, you just wait here, don't make any mess out." ”
