There are a lot of contents on the bulletin board, but not all of them are new. Some old papers are covered with new things, and some old papers have faded because of the wind and the sun. The contents are blurred. Clear, it seems quite strenuous.

The civilian literacy education and the urban notice system promoted by Rosetta the Great is indeed a good thing, but the problem is also quite a lot, because there is only one channel for releasing news, so whether it is the top new deal or the chores in the town will be posted Here, and no one has considered the issue of timeliness. It is often seen that the emperor’s decree is followed by a notice to clear the mud. The news of the acquisition of new grain is put together with the content of the distribution of grain a few months ago. It is not easy to distinguish it clearly.

In fact, it is indeed a skill to find useful content from these messy messages. According to Mary, the promotion effect of literacy education is actually not so good. Most civilians do not have enough spare capacity to read and read. Even if they go to school to read the words, they can't learn much in the careless teachers who come to class for a few copper plates every day, so there are not many people who can read the notices in the whole town.

The content of the bulletin board is confusing, and the literacy rate of the civilians is still not high enough. These two factors have even spawned a profession, that is, “readers”.

If someone wants to find useful things from the messy notice, such as a farmer who wants to know the latest purchase price of a certain crop and the acquisition time, then give the soldier a copper plate. The soldier will find out the useful things for you to listen to. .

Of course, some information is not worthwhile after it is distributed, and farmers with more literacy are likely to find useful information and tell others, so on the one hand, the soldiers only regard this “reading income” as extravagant, another On the one hand, they will deliberately wet and stain the contents that may cause the most people to ask when posting notices, so that civilians who want to know the price of goods or hire information have to ask for a copper plate to ask...

But these have no effect on Mary. As a mage, she has the ability to easily read and distinguish all the things on the bulletin board, and she doesn't care too much about the timeliness of this information. It is very interesting.

There is no such thing as a bulletin board in the village at the foot of the mountain.

“Recruiting the Master...” The young female apprentice looked at the announcements posted with great interest, and the final sight fell on the notice of the recruiting mages. She could see that this seems to be A research project recruits people, but the information itself is unusual.

The announcement of the recruiting mages is posted in the town... Rosetta the Great seems to be picking up a group of talents from the mages of the whole empire, and his recruitment range is really big. In this country town, you can see The mage who goes to the notice is at most a wild master of the third or second level?

But then Mary thought of her own mentor... The terrible old magician was probably an exception, retired in such a backcountry, but the strength is unfathomable... It is said that the mentor lived in the king’s life that year, I don’t know. He will be interested in the recruitment of His Majesty the Emperor.

The young female apprentice turned her mind like this, then left the bulletin board and continued to wander around the lively town square.

The poet's poems sound tiring.

The performance of the circus clown is impressive.

Even a few crappy craftsmen, they made a few straw and woodcut ornaments on the square to make Mary look fascinated.

So when she finally woke up from these things, the golden red sunset glow had been sprinkled on the roof of the square at the edge of the square.

Looking at the golden sunset, watching the townspeople and performers who were leaving the square, the poor young girl finally got scared: she completely forgot what the mentor commanded!

Mary ran away and rushed to the shop next to the square. Now she is only fortunate that she has been holding the package in her arms. If she was too addicted to the entertainment in the square, she would specifically purchase the potions from the mentor. Also lost words... The instructor will definitely take out some of her tendons and feed them to the bloodthirsty Warcraft of the Master Tari!

Finally, fortunately, this girl was rarely visited. She bought the last casting material before the store closed, and when she came out of the store, the sky was almost completely dark.

Looking at the skylight that only left the last line, Mary couldn't help but tighten the old black robe. It was not a wise choice to hurry after the night, especially between the town and the mentor's tower. Walking for two hours on the mountain road, although she is a mage with a formal cast level, the mountain road in the dark is also dangerous.

But the anger of the old wizard is more terrible than the slippery mountain road and the monsters crouching in the darkness.

Mary secretly repented of today's lax, while checking the package in her arms and finally stepping outside the town.

In her mind, she also turned to the news she saw on the bulletin board, but after embarking on the mountain road, she threw all the cranky thoughts aside.

Summon the flash ball for lighting, prepare the protective spell for the body protection, and use the short sword with the right hand to hold the body. The female apprentice walks barefoot on the darkened mountain road, after the night. There are cold winds on the mountain roads constantly blowing from the mountains, but Mary does not dare to distract to maintain a layer of breeze barrier: in the wild, saving mana as much as possible is the common sense of the Master, as long as the external environment is not bad enough to affect the judgment of thinking. To the extent, you should not be overly comfortable.

Finally, before midnight, the dark, sinister minaret appeared in her vision.

Mary was cold and hungry, but she finally rushed back to the Master Tower before the collar of the neck became a red iron ring.

The gate of the Mage Tower was automatically opened, and the gatekeeper inside silently put the female apprentice into the tower, accompanied by a muffled sound when the heavy door closed, and the outside mountain wind and starlight were separated.

Mage Tari is still gloomy and dead, like a prisoner, but he is still breathless, but Mary still takes a long breath after entering the door. She crept to the stairs leading to the upper floor, ready to buy before the instructor found it. The things were put into the warehouse and then hid in their own room, but she just took two steps and stopped in a stiff position.

The hazy, lonely old mage stood on the stairs and quietly blended into the dark like a sculpture. The sound of artificial nerves squirming in the cloth and sweeping across the ground came like tens of snakes. The creeping sound is creepy.

Mary seemed to have forgotten what she had to say, she stuttered: "Guide...I..."

A bright lightning flashed on her shoulder before her voice fell. Together with the pain, the old Master’s gloomy words: "Why is it so late?"

Lightning penetrated the rude robes, which had almost no protective effect, and burned a flesh and blood, but Mary, who had long been accustomed to coping with this punishment, was the first to resist the trembling of the body and voice, bowing her head: "I am in the town." Delayed..."

She did not explain the reasons such as “the mountain road is not easy to walk”. At this point, she also has experience: the instructor’s knowledge in the field of neurology and brain wave manipulation is extremely deep, and those nerve circuits that are creepy can be used not only to connect A mysterious network of thoughts can detect lies. The last apprentice lying in front of the instructor almost died on the experimental platform. She didn't want to use her own life to test the mood of the old wizard at the moment.

Old Master Daniel stared at Mary with a sullen look. He waved his hand and Mary's package flew to him. After checking the contents of the package, he raised his eyelids again: "Remember, if it is delayed. The experiment that the owner confessed, I will use you as the experimental material!"

Mary bowed her head and made a compliant look: "Yes...yes!"

The old wizard has a mysterious master, she knows this, and she knows that the mysterious and powerful master has given the old master a series of orders to study the new neural connection technology and brainwave amplification technology is the command Part of it is precisely because of these tasks that the old mages have recently arranged their apprentices to collect materials.

Mary didn't dare to ask the secrets behind the research, and even dared to ask the name of the mysterious "master". She knew very well in this respect: a existence that would make the terrible mentors so awed is not easy for her to contact. It’s not just a matter of inquiring about a star or a half, it’s enough to bring her a murder.

Looking at the timid female apprentice, Daniel frowned and didn't know what he thought. Then he suddenly spoke up: "What do you see in town?"

Mary didn't dare to tell the details of her lounging, but said something that might make the tutor less angry: "...I am watching the bulletin on the town... I want to know if there is any useful news..."

Daniel snorted: "Hey, what useful news did you see?"

"The Emperor's Majesty is expanding the school... recruiting volunteers..." Mary immediately said what she saw, and put the information she thought was the most important at the end. "Yes, Your Majesty is still recruiting Master." It may be that the Royal Masters Society is expanding its staff and guiding you..."

She didn't dare to say anything until she finished, because she saw the expression on the face of the instructor suddenly become more gloomy than at any time. The gloomy expression was almost full of unrecognized resentment, but the tutor was After she stopped, she spoke up: "Continue to say what the Emperor recruited the Master."

"Possibly...may be a research project..." Mary stammered. "The specific content was not written, but asked...requires knowledge of mathematics and magical knowledge, and it is necessary to understand self-charged...self-charged magic array ......"

The gloomy expression on the old Master’s face suddenly changed.

He frowned and seemed to fall into deep thought. In the waiting for Mary's trepidation, he whispered to himself: "...Is the empire studying...the owner may be interested in this news..."

Mary did not dare to pant and listen. She was not interested in the master of the old wizard. She is now hungry and sleepy and nervous, just wanting to go back to her room.

The old Master finally woke up from his own words and thoughts. He glanced at the apprentices who were still waiting under the steps, flashing a glimpse of his eyes, and then restored the Qingming.

He waved his hand: "Go back to your room."

When Mary got a big bang, she quickly squatted, and when she was about to leave, she heard the voice of the mentor coming up from the ladder: "...you have a muffin on your table, it is for you."

Mary looked up in horror and seemed to suspect that she had misunderstood something.

However, the old master just waved his hand. His artificial nerve cable did not know when it was quiet. His tone was full of impatience: "Today is your birthday."
