Chapter 61 After the choice
The officer who led the way quickly took Shaoke to a smaller stone house with a pointed stone, and then stood outside and said to Shaoke: "Master Snow Night, come forward and leave your mark on the door, so that the mages inside will open the door and let us in."
Shaoke nodded, quickly stepped forward, quickly made his mark on the steps, and printed it on the wooden door that emitted waves of magic waves. Then he took a few steps back, stood behind the officer again, and quietly waited for the response inside.
After a while, Shaoke felt waves of magic swings sweep across him. He knew that this was a conventional detection method conducted by the mages inside, so he was not panicked. The officer was still standing straight there, as if he didn't feel that magic scan at all.
The door opened, and a young mage in a third-level robe came out. The mage raised his head slightly and glanced at the mage waiting under the steps, "Come with me." He turned around and went in, which made Shaoke feel a little unresponsive for a moment. The officer turned to Shaoke and said, "Let's go, take away what you deserve first, and then talk about something else."
Shaoke had to follow the officer in. It was not big inside, only a long table placed horizontally in front of the door facing the opposite door. Behind the table was the mage who had just opened the door for them. "What's the matter?" The mage kept writing on a long piece of paper with a black quill pen.
The officer stopped Shaoke from being about to salute and shouted: "Prepare a second-level mage robe for this mage, and the subsidy for the other three months will be brought together. The chief said that he would give this mage another hundred general gold coins."
After writing some words on the paper, the mage stopped writing and handed it to the officer and said, "Write your name here, and you." He pointed at Shaoke and signaled him to come up and fill in his name too.
Shaoke looked at the officer, and the officer nodded to indicate that he followed the instructions of the mage in front of him. So Shaoke quickly added his name in common magic. The mage behind the table curled his lips, gently rolled up the paper, tied it up with a ribbon, opened a small door behind him and went in.
"Mage Xueye, the mages who work here all have some way. They rely on elders or powerful nobles to find a good job here. Ignore them, because you are now under the jurisdiction of the military headquarters, not the military headquarters' mage group." As he said that, the officer pulled two chairs over, "Sit down, it is impossible for these people to come out without delaying for a while. I believe you have the patience to wait for him."
Shaoke nodded, sat down without hesitation, leaned on the chair and slowly waited for the return of the mage who was doing business.
"Mage Xueye, when you arrive on the battlefield, the mages who fight with you can believe that they are directly affiliated with the military headquarters, not the mages of the military headquarters. I hope you can understand this." The officer waited for a while, turned his head and said this to Shaoko.
Shaoke felt very helpless, "Sir, I only know that I am a wizard from the military headquarters now and only obey the correct orders of my superiors." After saying that, Shaoke felt that he should say something else, but the officer shook his head.
"Master Xueye, we actually don't know the small fortress you are going to, but the mages there are all assigned to them after obeying the orders of the military headquarters. You will never be excluded from where you go, and you will also get their help." After the officer said this, he stared at Shaoko casually, hoping that the other party could understand what he meant.
Shaoke nodded and said he knew. The officer smiled, relaxed his body, which had been tense, and leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Shaoke felt that he had waited for half a magic, and the mage who had gone out opened the door and came in, and two servants followed him with items pointed out by the officers.
After the mage drove away the servants casually, he sat down, frowned and looked at the two people sitting opposite him and said, "Check it out, and then take it out of here."
The officer stood up slowly, went up to check carefully, and handed the robe to Shaoke and said, "Look at whether it fits well? You can change it here, but it won't be possible after you go out." As he said that, he opened the purse on the tray, poured the golden gold coins on the table, counting one by one.
After the officer handed over the robe, he looked carefully. The robe was not like the mages who were staying in the manor, but was made of ink black silk. There was no embroidered with too many decorative patterns, but a simple pattern made of silver wire was rusted on the edge of the clothes. A magic circle was inlaid on the chest of the robe. Shaoke carefully felt it with his mental power, and then he realized that it was a first-level "element protection". This magic appeared on the second-level robe, which surprised Shaoke, because the spells embedded in the robe can be released instantly in an emergency, and the length of the duration depends on whether the caster's magic power supply is sufficient. There is no general spell limit. This is very important for the protection of a mage who is about to go to the battlefield.
The third-level mage sitting behind the table looked at Shaoke with an excited expression and said, "What's so good about it? Isn't it just a first-level 'element protection'? Then it won't protect your safety at all on the battlefield. Every mage who goes to the battlefield will have one, well! It feels like the last commemoration."
After ticking off the gold coins in the wallet, the officer said to Shaoke: "Master Xueye, let's go. If there is any problem with the robe, the commander will directly ask him to stand guard on the city wall." He ignored the ugly face of the third-level mage and took Shaoke out.
Shaoke recalled what had just happened and asked, "Sir, that mage won't do anything to us, right?" After saying that, Shaoke felt a little fever on his face, but he quickly found a reason for himself, 'You are just a second-level mage, and it's time to have these worries.'
The leader who led the way put his wallet in Shaoke's arms and said, "Mage Xueye, one thousand universal gold coins. I think you have spent enough money in the imperial capital, but the premise is your savings." The officer tidied up his already smooth military uniform and continued, "Mage Xueye, don't worry, that little mage dares not treat me, let alone treat you. The soldiers in our military headquarters are different from those of the mage group. If you can live ten years later or become a third-level mage, I think you will definitely understand these inside stories. Now what you need to do most is to go to the library to copy spells and get familiar with them as soon as possible in the next three months. I think you know the reason better than me."
After saying goodbye to the officer, Shaoke returned to his room based on his memory. He was excited to put on the black mage robe he had just received, and immediately opened the protective magic circle on the robe. A gray light cover suddenly covered him in the middle. Shaoke carefully felt the strength of the magic circle, and felt that it was stronger than the "elemental protection" he released by himself. It seemed that the mage level inlaid with this magic circle was at least two levels higher than Shaoke.
After carefully putting his wallet in the box where he stored precious items, he left his room with a hundred universal gold coins on his body. He wanted to go to the door of the manor to check if the female mage had been here.
The officer Ulfat, who received Shaoko yesterday, was taken in the hut next to the door. When he saw the mage coming, he ran out excitedly and said politely: "Dear Master, what can I help you?"
"Urfat, have you ever seen a female mage come here today?" Shaoko hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice and asked the officer in front of him about his companion's news.
The officer thought carefully and replied: "Dear Master, I have never seen a female mage come in. I will ask if anyone else has seen it."
Shaoke nodded, handed the officer a gold coin and said, "Thank you for your help, I will not forget you."
The officer did not refuse this time. After taking the gold coins, he went to ask his soldiers. After waiting for a while, the officer turned back again and said with regret: "Dear Master, since the gate opened today, no female mage has been here, and it has been a long time since the female mage has been reported here."
Shaoko frowned and handed the officer a gold coin again, "Thank you, what does it mean to say that there has been no female wizard here for a long time to report?"
The officer took the gold coins with some hesitation, quickly put them in his pocket, looked around carefully and lowered his voice, "Dear Master, I heard, uh! I just heard that when the female masters came back to report, most of them went to other places to report. I heard that this was a mandatory requirement by the mages of the mage group."
Shaoke's face changed slightly, and he frowned and asked, "Most female mages? Why are there female mages who come here to report?" Shaoke nervously closed his cloak and pressed the brim downwards. He didn't want the officer in front of him to see his bad face now.
"Yes, almost all the female mages who came here to report were related to the high-level mages here, or related to some nobles." The officer kept staring at Shaoko. When the other party was holding his cloak, he suddenly saw the ink black robes that were different from other mages, and his face changed slightly.
Shaoke asked worriedly: "What does it have to do with the mage union?"
