Chapter 127: The Apprentice of the White Stone Tower
In the living room of Richard's courtyard, a conversation is taking place between Richard and Gro. Pandora, on the other hand, sat in a chair in the living room, boredoming her legs, swaying, shaking, shaking......
"So, it's not a real wizard, it's a wizard apprentice. Richard looked at Gro and spoke.
"Well, it's true that it's a wizard apprentice, but I heard that it's a third-level apprentice, and it's extremely close to the existence of a formal wizard. Groh emphasized.
"No, even so, it's too much to send an apprentice to recruit students, right?" Richard frowned slightly.
"Actually, I have some explanations for what I heard. ”
"Well, what's the explanation?"
"Generally speaking, if a wizarding organization comes to select students, they will park the big boat at sea, take a medium-sized boat to the end of the Emerald River, and then turn around and go down the river to go ashore in some of the larger cities along the coast. But this time, because of some special circumstances in Emerald Gold City, it attracted the attention of the other party, so in the process of going against the current, a wizard apprentice was sent in advance to investigate some things.
In other words, the wizard apprentices who come are not picking students, but have other tasks. When he completes his task, the real wizard will arrive, and the students will be officially selected. ”
"What is the situation in Emerald Gold City that can allow the other party to send a wizard apprentice to investigate first?" Richard asked with some confusion, "As far as I know, Emerald Gold City has been very peaceful on the surface recently, right?"
Gro pouted: "On the surface, it is indeed peaceful, but it is all because it was suppressed by the official, and some things can't be hidden from me, so I still know very well." In the past few months, Emerald City has actually been very chaotic, people are panicking, several families have been inexplicably attacked, and some shops have been mysteriously stolen and suffered heavy losses. By the way, a few months ago, you took me to the jewelry store where you bought rubies, do you remember?"
"Of course I do. Richard nodded, and the appearance of the jewelry store owner, nearly sixty years old, with full white hair, quickly appeared in front of him.
"His shop had also been burglarized, and when he heard about the heavy losses, he was so angry that his hair turned red. Gro spoke.
I'm so angry that my hair is red? I think I'm so angry that I'm white, right? What kind of principle is this?
Richard thought in his heart and didn't say it, his eyes flashed, he looked at Gro and said: "But even so, it's just a matter that belongs to Emerald City, you, a member of the royal family and the officials of the Emerald Kingdom, are not in a hurry, why should the wizarding organization be in a hurry? Why investigate?"
"Because of these things, it's kind of weird. "I heard that whether it is murder or theft, it is not the means of ordinary people, but ...... Spell. It looks like it's just a wizard's apprentice, or a wizard's doing. Moreover, most of them seem to be aimed at this wizarding organization that has come. Originally, many forces in Emerald Gold City were connected to the wizarding organizations that came, but now they are basically attacked, and even those who are not attacked are extremely afraid. ”
"Well...... Richard's eyes flashed, "it sounds like it's revenge against the wizarding organization that came here." ”
"But......" Richard's tone changed again, "but even so, it is only related to the wizarding organization that came here, and it should have nothing to do with me." After all, the wizard apprentice who came here had a mission to carry out, not to pick a student, so it was useless to go to him. ”
"How useless. Gro said loudly, "Although the other party is here to carry out a mission, after all, he is also a member of the wizarding organization. Maybe for some ordinary people, you need to wait until the real wizard arrives, but I'm using some connections now, well, some other people will do the same, and I can also let the other person help test their talent first. ”
"Test your talents?"
"Yes, test the talent. Gro nodded, "Some wizarding organizations attach great importance to talent, and those with relatively high talents and younger ages will be selected and taken to the mainland, and those who are not qualified can only stay." ”
"I see. Richard squinted, but he already had a prediction in his heart. His talent was tested at the beginning, but he didn't have it at all, so he used scientific methods to crack the three life reshapes.
In this case, if you go to the test, I am afraid that you will be judged to be unqualified after taking a photo. But...... It's okay to see it. After all, there was no one else he really had contact with the current wizarding world except the mysterious wizard with the Iron Ring who had been killed. It never hurts to learn more about other wizarding apprentices, wizards, and wizarding organizations, and it will help you figure out the entire wizarding world faster.
"So, Your Excellency Richard, do you want to test it in advance?" asked Gro at this time, "If you want, I can arrange it for you, well, it's actually the time arranged by the other party, so it's best not to miss it." Otherwise, there is no other opportunity. ”
"Is that so......" asked Richard, "when?"
"Tomorrow afternoon. Gro spoke dryly.
"Then you can go check it out. Richard nodded, "I can't help but wonder a little more." ”
"What?"
"What's the name of the other party's wizarding organization?"
"It seems to be called ......" Gro frowned and thought for a moment, then said with a slight uncertainty, "White Stone Tower." ”
"White Stone Tower?" Richard said softly.
White Stone Tower!
......
The next day, in the afternoon.
In front of an inn in Emerald City, a horse-drawn carriage drove up, then stopped, and Richard and Gro stepped out of the carriage.
Richard glanced at the name of the inn - the Gin Glass Hotel - a very famous inn in Emerald City, which should be unusually lively on weekdays, but today it is unusually cold.
That's not normal.
Richard's eyebrows furrowed, and Gro explained beside him: "This is where the third-level apprentice in the White Stone Tower lived, and he took down an entire inn and drove away all the people who lived there. ”
Richard raised his eyebrows: "No one is dissatisfied?"
"What can you do if you are dissatisfied, and dare to argue with a third-level wizard apprentice?, not afraid of being frozen into ice cubes and burned to charcoal?" Gro said loudly, his voice not showing much sympathy for the victim, but a little yearning for this kind of wanton power.
After all, as a prince, he usually doesn't drive away all the people in an inn, so he doesn't dare to be so willful, but a third-level wizard apprentice does. Doesn't this mean that a third-level wizard apprentice has already outperformed him, His Royal Highness the Prince? What about the real wizards? What about the more advanced wizards?
As soon as he thought about this, Gro's heart was so excited that he immediately sat down on the ground and meditated, and then he was promoted to the most powerful wizard. As for what he was going to do after becoming a wizard, to be honest, he hadn't really thought about it yet. But that doesn't matter, after all, there's nothing wrong with being a wizard. It's like, a person may not know how to spend money when he has it, but having money is not a bad thing, right?
Richard on the side didn't know what Gro was thinking, but shook his head slightly beside him, and then walked towards the hotel.
As a result, as soon as he stepped into the door, he was stopped, and a beautiful girl with blonde hair of seventeen or eighteen years old stood inside the door, and said with a wary gaze: "You ...... What do you do, if...... I want to see ...... this afternoon Honorable Wall, you must have an invitation. ”
