"etc."

When Ferdinand was about to leave the dock, the staff suddenly stopped him.

Do you need to charge tips? At a dock like this with a good flow of people, corrupt elements usually take the opportunity to ask outsiders for tips such as customs fees or tea fees. If they don't give them, they won't let them go. They are very overbearing.

Thinking of this, Ferdinand turned around uneasily and asked, "What's wrong?"

The staff member looked at Ferdinand up and down, and finally laid his eyes on the staff in his hand.

"Are you a magician?"

"Well, yes."

Ferdinand admitted frankly that there was nothing to hide. A staff or a magician's robe were both good identification.

"Are you coming to Bianzhu Town to find a job?" the staff member asked again.

"Yes, I heard from Dongsheng Fortress that Border Guard Town is recruiting magicians with high salaries, so I wanted to come here and apply."

"oh--"

The staff nodded in understanding, and then said: "Then you have to go to the city hall to apply for the job. Is this your first time in Bianzhu Town? I'll tell you how to get to the city hall. After leaving the pier, you have to go to the left..."

The enthusiastic staff informed Ferdinand in detail how to walk from the pier to the city hall.

"Oh, I understand, thank you." Ferdinand thanked him.

He was a little surprised that tips were not forced.

As a new arrival and unfamiliar with the place, Ferdinand originally planned to ask passers-by how to get to the city hall after leaving the pier. It would save a lot of trouble if the staff at the pier could inform him in advance.

"Hey, it's a piece of cake."

The staff member stretched out his hand to straighten the hat on his head, with a smile on his face, as if he was happy to have helped someone in need.

"If you still can't find the location of the city hall or encounter any difficulties, you can always ask the police for help."

"police?"

Ferdinand looked confused when he heard this unfamiliar term.

"Oops! I forgot to explain."

The staff member patted his forehead and explained: "The police are those of us who wear black uniforms and black hats. Our duties are to maintain public order, fight crime, help people solve their difficulties, etc. In short, if you encounter any difficulties, you can find us."

We the police are right."

"Oh...ok, I will."

After bidding farewell to the policeman, Ferdinand walked outside the pier.

Police? They are very different from the patrol guards in other places. Border Guard Town is really a magical place.

When we arrived at the exit of the pier, there was a preacher shouting loudly: "For those who are coming to Bianzhu Town for the first time, please stop. I have several important things to tell you."

Ferdinand was a first-time visitor. Curious, he followed the others and wanted to hear what the preacher had to say.

"The first thing is that Border Guard Town is a very tolerant town. Even the demi-human race is willing to swear allegiance to the great lord and become its subjects. Therefore, don't be alarmed when you see the demi-human race on the street.

, they will never hurt you."

There really is a demi-human race here. Ferdinand had heard rumors about it before he came here.

The lord of Border Guard Town is really powerful. He actually has the means to make the demihuman race and humans live in harmony.

"The second thing is that people who want to find a job can go to the square and check the recruitment order on the bulletin board. There are also readers like me there, so those who are illiterate can rest assured..."

After listening to everything, Ferdinand had a general understanding of Bianzhu Town, and then he turned around and followed the road the policeman told him before to the city hall.

On the way, he found that the road under his feet was very clean. The lord of Bianzhu Town was actually willing to spend money to hire handymen to sweep away the snow and clear the road.

Well, apparently a good lord.

There are many three, four, and five-story buildings on both sides of the street. They all look very new on the outside, as if they were built not long ago, and almost everyone lives inside.

There were two naughty children playing on the street, and adults were coming and going, making it a peaceful scene.

This made Ferdinand feel a little incredible.

Hey, it's winter now, and Border Guard Town is the frontline for dealing with undead monsters. The people here are not worried about the threat from the north at all.

Continuing walking, Ferdinand suddenly saw a lizard man, talking to a local resident.

As a magician, he has experience fighting demihuman races in the past.

Recalling that he had encountered a race of demi-humans that killed people without batting an eye and with ferocious faces, Ferdinand subconsciously became vigilant and grabbed the staff in his hand.

However, he knew that the lizard people here were harmless, so he did not use magic. Instead, he quickened his pace and walked past.

"call--"

After walking over, Ferdinand let out a breath. It seemed that it would take a lot of time to fully accept the demihuman race here.

Finally arriving at the city hall, Ferdinand saw a lot of people in the hall as soon as he entered, some came to handle business, and some came to inquire about work like him.

There was a long queue in front of the consultation service desk. It looked like the queue would take a long time.

"well--"

With a helpless sigh, Ferdinand took steps toward the end of the line, preparing to line up honestly.

At this moment, a female staff member in formal attire suddenly came over and raised her hand to stop Ferdinand.

"Excuse me, are you a magician?"

"Well, yes." Ferdinand nodded, "What's wrong?"

After receiving a positive reply, the female staff member's eyes lit up and she continued: "That's right, we have a service channel specially opened for magicians. Please follow me."

After saying that, she turned sideways, with a standard smile on her face, and raised her hand to make a gesture of invitation.

Oh? There is also a special service channel. The identity of a magician is really useful.

Well, no matter where they are, magicians with decent abilities are in high demand, and Border Guard Town seems to be no exception.

"Then it's up to you."

Just like that, Ferdinand followed the female staff member and walked upstairs.

Arriving at the door of a room, the female staff member turned around and said, "Please wait outside the door for a moment. I will go in and inform you."

"Well, okay."

After the announcement, Ferdinand successfully entered the room and saw a middle-aged man and a girl inside.

The middle-aged man is sitting at the desk in the middle of the room. He is obviously a senior official here, and the girl should be an assistant or other clerical staff. She is sitting at the small desk on the side organizing documents.

When we met, the middle-aged man did not show a condescending attitude. Instead, he introduced himself: "Hello, I am the director of the magic department of the city hall, Garcia."

"Hello, Minister Garcia."

The attitude of the officials here must be too good. Ferdinand quickly touched his chest and saluted, and then reported his name.

Then, Garcia asked Ferdinand about his age, where he came from, what his previous occupation was, etc., and the latter answered them all one by one.

"Ferdinand, I need to test your magic power, is that okay?" Garcia finally said.

"Of course no problem."

Garcia turned to look at the assistant who was taking notes next to him, and whispered: "Fanny."

"OK."

After finishing writing quickly, Fanny stood up and went to the cabinet not far away, carefully took out the magic induction bead inside and put it on the desk.
