In the bedroom that belonged to Victor, the black-robed mage stood alone in front of the window, looking at the bright stars in the sky and secretly lost consciousness.
Just now, everyone in Akihabara sent away the Flamingo Archduke envoy who had arrived early, temporarily putting an end to this chaos.
It is difficult for Master Zhai to understand that the reason why the Grand Duke gave up using force to solve everything turned out to be the mysterious mage he made up, so he does not believe it at all. However, he did not stop the peace talks, but instead tried his best to promote it, because no matter what the Grand Duke who had never met was planning, Akihabara needed a stable period of time to develop.
No matter what, in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and conspiracy are just ridiculous tricks.
This time, in order to win the trust of the people of Akihabara, Archduke Flamingo brought them many unexpected and tangible benefits.
The first is the title. Baron Parker was made a hereditary viscount, and Christine and Victor were made hereditary barons. Even Christine, who had never appeared on the battlefield, was mixed with the title of a hereditary knight. It can be called a hereditary knight. To get the name of aristocrat and sell at a loss. The second is the fiefdom. Now, the territories of several members of the Swift family together account for about one-fifth of the entire Luandong Territory. They officially have the capital to influence the situation in the Luandong Territory.
In addition to these, the Flamingo Archduke also sent a large number of orders, all of which were magic equipment that seemed very simple to the otaku mage and were no different from sending money.
The Grand Duke seems to be a rare good man. Not only did he send the title and territory, he also sent funds for future development.
Faced with this tempting offer, Victor and the Baron agreed, and they excitedly agreed without hesitation. No matter what, Akihabara needs a sum of funds and a period of peaceful development to be able to deal with various situations that may occur in the future.
"Why¡¡"
Thinking of the elusive Duke Flamingo, the black-robed mage frowned and sighed.
This kind of completely clueless trouble is what he hates the most.
"Pity¡¡"
After a moment of pause, Master Zhai muttered something complicated. Afterwards, he put away these thoughts and turned his thoughts to another place.
No matter what happens in the future, everyone in Akihabara has a way out through the portal, and it is useless no matter how much he thinks about it. Compared to this, he was more concerned about that order and how to enhance Akihabara's strength. Those orders were very simple for him, but he didn't have that much time to complete them. After all, he preferred to travel and explore different worlds instead of making things in an underground factory. The most important thing is that this industry does not make much money compared to traveling around the world.
After thinking for a long time, he finally turned his attention to Emma and the others.
If there is a mage who can replace him, this easy problem can be easily solved.
At the same time, another problem seems to be solved. After all, Akihabara only lacks upper-level combat power. As long as some high-level mages are produced in a short time, coupled with the mass production of mechanical legions, it is enough to deal with most enemies. The only thing that troubled him was how to make those mage apprentices grow up in a short period of time. They are just ordinary people and cannot have a system like him. The time required for growth will naturally take a long, long time.
"damn it¡¡"
Countless thoughts ran through his mind, but none of them were suitable. Victor could only scratch his head helplessly.
"Forget it, let's go to bed first"
Afterwards, he turned and walked towards his bed.
"Even if we can't solve the second problem, there should be no problem with the order As long as you have a lot of knowledge, it's easy to master certain alchemy skills in a short time"
¡¡
A night of silence.
¡¡
The next day, in the empty hall on the third floor of the underground chamber of Swift Castle, Victor looked at the seventy young magic apprentices standing neatly in front of him with a serious face.
"Ahem"
It wasn¡¯t until these lively little guys were completely quiet that Master Zhai coughed and spoke in a deep voice.
"Now, I want to select a leader from among you to be responsible for the magic affairs of Akihabara in the futurethose new little guys, don't worry, the criteria for my selection this time are fair to everyone, and are consistent with contact with magic. The length doesn¡¯t matter much¡¡±
While speaking, he stretched out a hand and shook his index finger casually.
Following his movements, countless pieces of white paper filled with topics flew out from in front of him and landed in front of many little guys with faces full of curiosity and excitement.
The silent version of the mage's hand.
?"After answering this answer sheet, I will judge whether you are qualified to be a leader based on this Don't worry, these questions are not beyond your cognitive scope Of course, I don't mind if you plagiarize and discuss with each other, provided that you It can ensure that I can spot your test paper at a glance from many answer sheets with the same answer"
After saying that, Master Zhai turned around and walked out of the hall.
"I will come back to collect the papers in about an hour, and you can do whatever you want from now on."
Leaving these words lightly, the figure of the black-robed mage disappeared completely, leaving only many magic apprentices looking at each other.
The exam officially begins.
¡¡
Victor just walked out of the hall and walked towards a small room next to the hall.
"Squeak"
He gently opened the door and saw Uncle Parker, who had been promoted to Viscount, and the expressionless Christine sitting in the cabin, looking at the ever-changing metal screen in front of them.
"how's it going?"
Master Zhai walked over and sat down casually, looking at the screen and asking in a low voice.
At this time, everything in the hall is being displayed on the screen.
This exam actually has nothing to do with the answer sheet he just handed out. This time, he just selected a suitable leader from these little guys to prepare for future orders and even the next things. Therefore, he valued these little guys' handling methods and prestige among many magic apprentices, and then chose Take the exam this way.
As for why the Viscount and Christine appear here? That's because he learned the lesson from last time and didn't want the rigid Knight Ji to misunderstand anything again, so he called him here specifically. After all, after this period of observation, he found that Emma brought by him had a high chance of getting that position. Compared with other relatively simple children who received knight education since childhood, the girl who grew up in the slums is obviously much smoother and has already established her own prestige among many magic apprentices.
"A very interesting selection method"
Hearing what his son-in-law said, Uncle Parker turned back and responded with a smile.
"Treacherous."
Knight Ji also turned back, with a faint smile on her delicate face. She seemed to be teasing a certain black-robed mage who didn't act according to common sense.
"Well¡¡"
Seeing the girl smile for the first time, Victor was stunned for a moment.
Christine rarely smiles on her face, especially when she smiles at him, so he feels that this shallow, ordinary-looking smile is very amazing, and it actually makes him feel a little obsessed.
After a moment of pause, he realized what he was saying. He stood up gracefully, performed a standard aristocratic salute, and then sent back the joke with an aristocratic aria he learned from Malfoy.
"Thank you for your compliment, beautiful lady."
"snort."
The girl snorted coldly, then turned her head back, as if she didn't intend to continue dealing with a treacherous guy.
Seeing Christine acting like a little girl for the first time, Victor and Parker smiled and shook their heads at the same time.
After that, Weng and his son-in-law looked at each other with understanding, and there was no difference in the thoughts in their eyes.
After that, the two men turned their heads to the metal screen in front of them at the same time as the girl snorted even louder, looking at everyone's performance seriously
¡¡
After the initial exchange of looks, Emma, ??the most authoritative among the children, stood up first.
"Everyone, let's start answering the papers. We don't have much time to waste. In addition, I hope everyone can be more conscious. After all, Teacher Victor has just said that it is difficult to get his approval with two identical test papers"
"Why should we listen to you?"
The girl was just mid-sentence when she was interrupted by a red-haired boy standing up.
This boy¡¯s name is Asuo. He is the captain of the team that originally maintained the assembly line. He is the only one who has the capital to compete with Emma.
It's a pity that he didn't perform well at all when Victor took over all the magic apprentices. Instead, he let an outsider, Emma from the original combat team, steal the spotlight, so he was very unconvinced by the black-haired girl, and there was no such thing here. To outsiders, he would naturally jump out and cause a little trouble for the girl he has always disliked.
"Yeah yeah¡¡"
"right."
Sparse echoes followed.
Except for those few companions who were familiar with him, most of the magic apprentices chose to remain silent.
No one is a fool, and they will naturally not forget what the black-robed mage just said. Discussing with others will result in failure?The opportunity to become the leader, if you complete it alone, there is still a slight chance, they all know how to choose. Besides, they were not familiar with Asuo, so why should they speak for him.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Regarding the picky boy, Emma asked in a calm voice.
"Of course we discussed it together. As for what Teacher Victor said, we just need to change the way it is written so that the answer looks a little different."
The red-haired boy is quite clever, otherwise he would not have been chosen as the squad leader by Viscount Parker.
Hearing such words, although many children still said nothing, their hearts moved slightly. This is indeed a good idea, especially for those little ones who are very good at words and don't like to learn much. Because if they do this, their chances of becoming leaders will become even greater.
"In this case, who do you think has a chance to be chosen by Teacher Victor?"
Hearing this, Emma asked in reply without any change in her tone.
"Faced with answers that are nothing new, I think those of us old people who often appear next to Teacher Victor have a greater chance of being chosen."
Without waiting for Asuo to answer anything, he told the conclusion that the red-haired boy had never thought of, but she had thought of it many times.
These words made most of the children's faces change slightly, and their eyes looked at Asuo with a little something strange. Compared with those old people, the fifty newly joined magic apprentices were already at a huge disadvantage. Now that someone wanted to use them as stepping stones, it was strange that they were willing.
"Besides, do you think Teacher Victor can't see these tricks? Don't forget, the teacher is a mysterious and powerful mage"
Seeing that most of the magic apprentices present changed their stance, Emma raised the corners of her mouth slightly and continued to pursue the victory.
These little guys are so tender
