Vol 4 Chapter 36: Screening
Just over half a month after the fiery fire (July), the scorching air swept Rantart and Allinge, leaving many people tossing and turning to sleep, only to get tranquility in the cool morning.
But in this refreshing morning breeze, more than thirty people strangely gave up sleep, waiting early outside the Aringe magic tower.
They are men and women, old and young, some wear black double-breasted long dresses, some are the most common magic robes with hoods, some are well-dressed long skirts, and some are simply white shirts with an ordinary The only thing the vests have in common is the tension and anticipation on their faces.
Luo Luowei did not have an apprentice robe that can cool off the heat within a certain range. These days have been a very painful time. In addition to staying up late to study, his face is pale and uncomfortable.
He looked at the "competitors" around him. He was under a lot of pressure. The apprenticeship level of these nearly forty people is estimated to be more than ten. Others are not formal magicians, or the arcane level has reached the first level, and even the intermediate level. The magician is involved.
"Being able to pass the previous written test and interview shows that I also have a bright spot and I can't lose my confidence." Lowy kept encouraging himself, and then wanted to relieve his nervousness with the magicians and magic apprentices next to him. "You say, what topics will Mr. Evans interview and will it involve new alchemy?"
A male magical apprentice with a nervous face, constantly thinking about what he was listening to, turned a deaf ear, and continued his final preparations. The two magicians glanced at Lowe and saw that he had an apprentice badge on his chest, not even a robe. He turned his head away and talked on his own.
A female magician with a round face like an apple stunned and smiled, "I don't know, neither Mr. Evans participated in the written test or the interview, and the topics given were exactly within my research scope, so I I am a little nervous now, I am not sure. I do n’t understand many of the new alchemy. What are the questions you asked during the interview? ”
She doesn't look pretty, but her smile is kind and easy-going, making people feel strange at first sight.
Luo Luowei thought for a while, and reiterated several elements of Jerome at the time and the topic of electromagnetic field, and finally said: "What about you?"
"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Elika." Ms. Roundface also explained her interview questions one by one, exchanging experiences with each other, and guessing what part of Mr. Evans might focus on today. .
Other mages and apprentices joined the exchange when they saw this.
Nearby Black laughed at Ophelia with typical Holm characteristics: "Would you like to listen to it? Knowing that their experience might be useful later."
Ophelia chuckled: "Okay, but I'm very surprised why the total interview time hosted by Mr. Evans will be nine in the morning. At this time, the Arlinge Magic Tower has just opened and it must be outside for the interviewer in advance. Wait before you can catch up. "
"Perhaps we are testing our punctuality and obedience with this strange request. After all, we are apprentice-level assistants, not arcanists with independent research projects." Black thought about it, and analyzed it carefully.
Ophelia looked up at the towering magic tower and nodded gently: "I think so too, Mr. Evans is definitely not the kind of person who tortures interviewers. His requirements must be deeper. Meaning of levels. "
On the eighteenth floor of the Arlinge Magic Tower, Lucien stood next to the window with Rock, Jerome, and his students, watching the interviewers below.
When he heard Prospell's recounted words and described the scene, Rock smiled and looked at Lucien: "How do I think you are happy to torture the interviewer?"
He said that he turned his eyes to poor students such as Annick. They were tortured by Lucien's "Arcane Tuition Course". Although arcane and magic levels advanced rapidly, his face often had a gritted expression.
Heidi chick nodded like a rice pecker. The teacher is a "devil" who likes to torture himself and others with a lot of practice and deep knowledge.
Baluchien coughed: "This is to observe their true character and daily communication skills. They come as apprentice-level assistants. Only if both of them are good, can they integrate into the institute faster and share chores for you."
"It makes sense that those who are arrogant and unwilling to communicate with people who are below their standards are not suitable for entering the institute." Jerome quite agreed with Lucian's idea, and then asked curiously, "the assistant who recruited, Will you become your student in the future? "
Sprint and others focused their eyes on Lucian, and were also curious about the teacher's answer.
Balusian shook his head: "There are already a lot of six students. I have my own magic study, arcane research, and daily life. It is difficult to teach more students. If you see who has potential, you can guide yourself."
This attitude generally exists in higher-level arcane masters, and they prefer to concentrate on teaching a few students unless a student falls, dies, or encounters a rare genius, and this level of arcanist Their students themselves enjoy the benefits of his halo, and their actions also represent teachers. With more people, there are more trivial matters.
Katrina and other students quietly breathed a sigh of relief, even if they were of good character, but when they think of more classmates, the time for the teacher to guide themselves will be reduced accordingly, and they will not look forward to new companions.
Twenty-nine o'clock was approaching soon, Lovi and others entered the magic tower uneasily, and took the elevator to the Atomic Institute.
"Let ’s go in together. There will be a magic contract signed before the final general interview." Rock was standing outside the Atomic Institute and waiting for them, his smile was very sincere, because after this time, this troublesome thing was finally over. I will never take on such a task again in the future!
"Magic contract? What's that?" A middle-aged magician asked in doubt, showing signs of gain.
Mr Lowe recognized that this was Mr. Isaac who had just communicated.
Rock said with a handsome smile that said: "Our atomic research institute explores the forefront of the field of elements. There are many secrets, so we need to sign a confidentiality agreement. Moreover, Evans is a quasi-arc arcanist, the church and other forces. The objects that are desperately wanted to be removed, along with other Arcanists at the Atomic Institute, have become incidental targets, so to prevent assassins, the newcomers must have a relatively harsh magic contract. "
"Harsh ..." Ophelia and others looked dumbfounded, and although they could understand the behavior of the Atomic Institute, the harshness always made them worry.
Isaac frowned: "I hope the magic contract will not be too harsh."
Rock laughed: "Be assured that you will not be treated as slaves, but those who have misconduct will be uncomfortable."
He loves nothing about contracts. He just wants to enter the Atomic Institute and learn from Mr. Evans. For him, as long as he doesn't sell his soul and body.
罗 Under Rock's guidance, the interviewers entered the conference room of the Atomic Institute.
Apprentices such as Lovi, Blake, Ophelia, or foreign magicians couldn't control the curiosity in their hearts, and they looked at the two magicians sitting on top of each other with excitement and excitement.
That's Mr. Jerome I've met. Should this be Mr. Lucien Evans?
In Lowe's eyes, this is a young man with thick black hair, with a clear outline, profound facial features, and exaggerated but beautiful, but those black eyes that seem to contain countless mysteries, calm and confident temperament, peaceful and gentle smile, but make People completely ignore his appearance and think that he is so contrasted with the heavy "halo" that surrounds him. He has no doubt that he is a powerful and terrifying magician and a profound and intelligent arcanist.
"Good morning, Mr. Evans." Under the guidance of several wizards who had met Lucien, Lovey and others saluted with the mystery above.
Lucien nodded to find a place to sit down, then his eyes grew darker, pointing at a stack of parchment on the table: "This is the magic contract that you need to sign. It will be supervised by the duke on the first floor of hell. Violators Will be punished from him. Look first, and start without problems. "
Listening to Lucian's words, I do not know why all the magicians and apprentices who came to the interview became nervous, and then took the contract that flew in front of themselves under the driving force of spirit and quietly began to read.
Suddenly, Isaac blushed and stood up: "What contract is this? This is simply a unilateral slave contract!"
"Whether intentionally or unintentionally, in whatever form, as long as anything leaked about the Atomic Research Institute and Lucian Evans, the soul will be taken away by Agostinho, the first prince of hell!"
"... The mind will be completely released, and whenever the thought of hurting Lucian Evans and other Arcanists at the Atomic Institute is immediately felt by Agostino!"
Uh ...
"This contract is not only harsh, it doesn't treat us as a person, I will not sign it, and I will not participate in interviews again!"
In his angry sorrow, three magicians and apprentices also stood up, with the same excitement and abandonment of this contract.
Isaac was about to leave, but saw Lovi, Black and others looking at them with strange faces, and suddenly disappointed, "Do you still have bones? Are they all like slime monsters? This kind of contract you Dare to sign? "
Javier scratched his head, wondering, "Mr. Isaac, the contract we see is not like this."
"What?" Isaac snapped.
Lucien said lowly: "The magic contracts are all processed with the eight-ring illusion magic 'suggestive text'. People who see it will magnify the fear in their hearts ten times, so the content of the contract will change according to his fear. What are you afraid of? "
"No, no!" Isaac and others shook their heads pale.
Balussian looked outside the conference room: "You don't need to answer me, just tell the panel, soup, please."
Tang Pu, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, walked in and took all Isaac and others away.
"How can they be scared," Roque asked, puzzled in the psychic connection, at first sight that this totally unequal contract is not binding.
"From the time you told this out there is hinting at them, and my previous words only emphasized that Agostinho would supervise, deliberately without mentioning specific effects, and also deliberately suggesting Start signing without problems, instead of interviewing before signing. Through such layers of hints of illusion magic and my 'image creation', they already believe in the truth of the contract in their hearts. "Lucian explained roughly "The magician who truly believes in the God of Truth is easy to identify, and it is the hardest to guard against selling secrets and companions for money and materials."
震惊 In the shocked and grateful eyes of Love and others, Lucian laughed: "Now you look at the real contract first, it's not too harsh, if we are willing to accept, then we will start the interview."
Looked at the new contract, Lowe and others agreed to sign through the interview, and then looked at Lucian nervously again, not knowing what problems he would have.
Mr. Evans must not take the "new alchemy" for interview. I am completely vague. Apprentices such as Lowe are begging in their hearts. They only understand the approximate model and concept of new alchemy.
Balsian laughed wryly: "Everyone first talk about why they want to enter the Atomic Institute?"
然后 "Then introduce the advantages and disadvantages, and talk about your own life planning."
what? What is this inexplicable interview question?
The interviewers such as Ophelia and Black are at a loss.
