What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 58

The second floor of the Magic Association library.

When Colin raised his head again, he found that it was already dark outside the window.

Look back at the magic timer high up.

It was already past 8 o'clock in the evening, more than an hour beyond the closing time.

It’s not once or twice that he lost track of time because of being too focused. Colin is also intentionally changing this habit. After all, no one wants to be immersed in books when danger strikes—if this is the case, perhaps the epitaph can be written like this —The man is drowning in the ocean of knowledge.

While diverting his thoughts, he closed the book in his hand that only had a few pages of "Several Experiences in the Application of Water Magic in Dry Environments", got up and walked to the book return place on this floor, and said to a dark-skinned and thin young man :

"Sorry, Larry, I lost track of time again."

"It has been an honor to serve you, Mr. Wayne."

The young man named Larry is a full-time administrator, just an ordinary person. Because of Colin Wayne, he was late for more than an hour to get off work today.

Colin handed the book to Larry, placing a silver shield on the cover.

"Apologize to your wife for your late arrival. Maybe a red rose will cheer her up all evening."

"Thank you, Mr. Wayne."

Larry accepted the tip, bowed deeply, narrowed his eyes with a smile, and joked: "But my wife should prefer pork at the same price, which will make her happy all week."

Although the administrator of the library of the Magic Association was already considered a high salary among commoners, a silver shield was still worth two days' salary.

……

Because the weather was getting colder, Colin put on a black jacket over his magic robe, and walked out of the library quickly.

He stood at the top of the steps at the door, looking at the Magic Association as night fell.

Empty, quiet, deep.

It feels like wanting to be part of it.

Colin suddenly discovered that he had hardly been so relaxed since the crossing.

Although life is getting better and better, and his status is getting higher and higher, he is also getting more and more busy. He is so busy that he has no time to stop and think about it. He hasn't even seen Roy, Annie and others for a long time.

A colorful magpie landed on his shoulder and nuzzled his cheek with the soft feathers on its head.

Colin smiled and took a note from its foot.

This kind of paper note, which is far more advanced than gray bird paper, is ridiculously expensive, but the senior sister seems to like to communicate in this form of letter, sometimes just to say hello, and let the magpie take a trip, wasting an expensive piece of paper. note.

This magpie with colorful colors on its back is a kind of rare monster.

In fact, any flying monster is very rare, even if it is just a small magpie.

The messengers such as owls or crows used by most magicians are actually just ordinary animals, but they have received professional training.

Ke Lin glanced at the note, and sure enough there was only one sentence: "Find me when you get home."

Normally, even if Ke Lin didn't come home at night, the teacher and senior sister wouldn't bother. Since the magpie was specially asked to come here, there must be something to discuss.

He put away the note, then held the magpie in his palm, whistled at it, and then waved his hand to let it go.

That whistle means "I'm happy."

The language of animals is also language.

Therefore, in principle, Colin can communicate with all animals.

However, the reality is not so rosy.

Language is an extremely broad concept. It can be as complex as communicating philosophy and quantum physics, or as simple as expressing emotions.

Obviously, the language of most animals is only the latter.

Take Senior Sister’s magpie as an example. Its IQ is not low. After training, it can even distinguish different smells from different people, and use it to search or lead the way.

However, from the perspective of language, like most ordinary animals, it can only express certain emotions or moods through sounds and shapes.

For example, a slight and long call means "I am very happy"; a short and high-frequency call means "I am very angry".It can't even clearly express whether its anger is from hunger or fatigue.

The IQ of Warcraft is generally higher, but it still does not exceed the category of animals in terms of language.

This also makes Colin can only express "I am very happy" to its letter delivery behavior, because in the language of animals, there is no concept of "thank you" at all.

……

After seeing off the magpie, Colin turned up the collar of his coat and walked down the steps outside the library.

However, after walking a few steps, he saw a petite figure running from the darkness in the distance.

Rebecca stopped in front of him panting, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wayne, you really haven't gone back yet, Your Excellency the President asked me to ask if you have time to see him."

……

A well-decorated reception room.

Colin saw the tall Berkeley Payne again, and the president of the association welcomed him into the room very warmly, and introduced him to three strange faces that he had never seen before.

"The captain of the Fourth Squad of the Public Security Department of the City Hall, the senior security officer of Thunder City—Mr. Hanke, and the other two are his subordinates."

"Mr. Hank, this is Master Roman's disciple, Colin Wayne, and the magic consultant I recommended to you."

Colin immediately remembered that he had tried his best not to treat him preferentially to His Excellency Payne, and it was best to accept the association's regular entrustment like everyone else.

At that time, His Excellency Payne seemed to have mentioned the name "Public Security Agency", and cryptically proposed that the official entrustment remuneration was stable and risk-free.

This may be the commission that Berkeley Payne most hopes that Colin will take over.

Peace of mind, no risk.

After all, if Colin Wayne was in danger in this matter, it would be difficult for him to explain to Roman Sagan.

"City Hall" is a new thing in the Kingdom of Tulum, and it originated from the Western Continent.After the king took back the noble fief, it was used to manage the people who lost their lords on this land.

As a propaganda and an example, Alan IV first established the city hall in Thunder City and gave it great powers. Today, the highest person in charge of the city hall is the former subordinate vassal of the Duke of Violet, the most powerful Subordinate - Great Knight Guderian.

Even Colin Wayne, who is deaf to the outside world, can often hear about the upright deeds of the great knight from various channels, such as the fact that he insisted on arresting his mistress regardless of the face of the great prince Charlie Hawthorne. Brother, for example, ordering his subordinates to seize the illegal property of the second prince Daniel Hawthorne and so on.

In short, in Ke Lin's view, this is probably a character like Bao Zheng Hai Rui.

It has to be said that such a person can hold an important position in the capital of the kingdom, at least it proves that His Majesty the King has the determination to reform.

Duke Violet also said that he wanted to introduce him to Guderian, but because both parties were busy, there was no chance.

From this point of view, it seems that there is no connection between him and Captain Hank in front of him.
