Volume 1, The Wizard's World Chapter 64, Support from the Sentinel's Fall
"Raise your hands if you agree that Ian will follow the precedent and serve in the Sentinel's Sorrow."
Those awakened people really wanted to support Ian, but they had raised their hands before, so they could only look at Shirley and other seniors eagerly.
Needless to say, Shirley was the first to raise her hand with a smile. Seen hesitated for a while, but still did not raise his hand.
"One vote!"
Then Philip Croft raised his hand.
"Two votes!"
Sean Gregg and Marcus also took the opportunity to raise their hands when they saw this. At this time, the pressure was much less.
"Four votes!"
Jocelyn Wood and Wadsworth Chebman looked at each other, shrugged with indifferent expressions, and raised their hands without saying anything, which made Abe Fox furious, but he also expected such a result.
Yes, he rolled his eyes and sat firmly.
"Six votes, are there any more?" Capas turned his attention to the other two tutors and the dean, with a playful expression on his face.
Abel snorted coldly and said: "Why are you still dawdling? Let's make the tie clear and hand it over to the dean for a decision." He was sure that as long as Hercules intervened, Ian would definitely end up miserable. Who asked this guy to team up with Consul?
·Hattings not only embarrassed the dean, he also did what he hated the most!
Hastings was forced to imprison himself in the laboratory, and now it's Hyde's turn.
"Wait a minute, Lord Gold~~" Capas seemed a little surprised.
What? Abel also followed Capas' gaze and saw Joe Gold, the deputy leader of the Sentinel's Sorrow, lazily raised his hand and said lazily in a lazy tone: "This is unclear.
Well, on behalf of the Sentinels, I welcome this young man."
"You!" Abel was a little angry. He couldn't believe that Joe Gauld openly supported Ian regardless of his own face. So what's the difference between this and supporting Hattings?
"What are you doing? It's obvious that I have seven votes now. Now Ian is under my control. Is that right, leader?" Joe Gauld didn't want to sell his account. He waved his hand and motioned to the two knights to take Ian away.
Bring Ann here.
"According to the procedure, it is like this." Capas also understood his deputy's thoughts. Although he did not take it to heart about the trick that Abel made back then, the mention of Shirley's old story today must have aroused his anger.
I got angry, so I got this crucial vote.
Capas will also support his deputy due to circumstances and reasons.
"Then, it has been decided that Ian will go to Sentinel's Sorrow and serve for two years. Now, let's discuss the selection of candidates for the apprenticeship task." Abel wanted to say something else, but Capas was not someone else and did not give him a chance at all.
, and continued to advance the meeting without looking at him. For her and Qiao, this was the most important thing.
However, not many people are willing to go for this task that everyone values important. Even after several hints from Capas and the mentors, the awakened people all lowered their heads and pretended to be quail, thinking in their hearts, anyway, it was Sheen and Marcus who took the initiative.
If you jump into a pit, there is no need to join in. As for the four talented people, they are even less willing to go.
Therefore, after a long silence, Capas had to declare the end of the meeting with a cold face. As soon as she finished speaking, everyone fled in all directions, for fear of being caught, they ran away faster than anything else.
Before leaving, Shirley smiled at Ian, full of kindness, which made Ian both grateful and puzzled. He didn't understand why the other party helped him. Was it just to cause trouble for Christie?
"These bastards!" Seeing everyone leaving in a hurry, Capas couldn't help but curse out. Such swear words came out of her mouth, but it also made people feel comfortable.
"Well, they all have their own difficulties. Everyone has been through that stage, so be more considerate." Hercules patted her shoulder from behind and told her, "I will leave the affairs of the monastery to you in the next ten years.
.Miss Berkeley, thank you for your hard work!"
Hydrian's daily affairs include mentor-level wizards who stick to the Norton Mountain headquarters and are replaced every ten years. If something unexpected happens, the next mentor will take over. The last mentor in charge was Consul Hettings.
, but he imprisoned himself in the mountains because of Elfo's affairs, so there was a scene where Capas Berkeley presided over the meeting, otherwise Ian would have ended up in this situation.
"It's your duty, sir!" Capas bowed and replied.
Hercules nodded and left with the three mentors without saying anything else. Everyone else was smiling, but Abel had a sullen face, as if someone owed him 1.8 million and hadn't paid back.
"Xian, what else can you do?" Capas couldn't help being surprised when he saw that Xian hadn't left yet.
Sheen chuckled, looked at Ian and said, "Sir, I have an idea about selecting apprentices. Please take some time to listen to it."
Although Sean Gregg is not very talented, he has been responsible for the specific affairs of the monastery for many years. He is the deputy of Consul Hattings. He handles the entire monastery properly, both inside and outside. Unless there are any accidents,
She will also continue to use Sheen. Even if what he is going to say next is nonsense, she will take a minute to listen, not to mention that what he is going to say now is about apprentices, so she must listen. This is not only a matter of
At stake is the future of the monastery, and also the future of the Sentinels.
Capas put on a listening posture, and Sheen did not hesitate and said immediately: "The monastery requires 70 apprentices to meet the needs of the wizards. According to previous years' experience, Marcus and I can complete around 30 apprentices at most."
The number of tasks, this is obviously not in the interests of the monastery. If Ian can be involved, I think with the energy of his noble status, he can complete at least 20 more tasks. Besides, the newly born awakened ones have no ability to protect themselves. Follow you.
It would be a drag on our team to go out, so why not let him join us."
"This way you can complete the mission and also get the rewards, right?" Capas immediately saw Xian's thoughts clearly and said with a half-smile.
"Absolutely not, I am purely thinking about the monastery!" Sheen quickly explained, joking, this is absolutely unacceptable.
Seeing Sheen's embarrassed look, Capas secretly laughed, but said seriously: "In this way, I can agree to your request, but I also ask you to help Ian find 10 recruits for the Sentinel's Sorrow, how about that!"
10 plus about 20 new recruits among the apprentices are enough to consume them for several years.
Sheen understood that this was a deal. Although he did not suffer a slight loss, the situation was stronger than the others. He glanced at Ian and gritted his teeth and agreed. Otherwise, how many years and months would it take him and Marcus to complete the task?
ah.
…
On the other hand, Ian was extremely nervous when Capas presided over the vote on Christie's proposal, especially when Abel personally came out to vote and forced the awakened people to stand on his side. He knew very well that without
In the case of Consul, once Abel takes action, other mentors will never stand against Abel.
Then, when most of the awakened people sided with Abel, even if Shirley, Sheen and Marcus supported him, his winning rate would not be very high. At that time, he did not expect the other two
Talented people will support themselves.
But the subsequent development was completely beyond his expectation, making his mood fluctuate like a super roller coaster in hell, and his heart almost stopped! No one expected that Joe Gold would actually meet Abel
There was a grievance, but he just escaped from death. He was extremely lucky.
In any case, Ian will remember these kindnesses firmly in his mind.
"Xian, thank you!" Ian stepped forward and thanked him sincerely.
Xian smiled bitterly, shook his head and said nothing.
Then Ian looked at Capas again. Although she did not clearly support him, and even the other party proposed her expulsion at the beginning. But in the subsequent voting, if she had not presided over the meeting fairly and did not actually hold a vote,
If he voted by hand, even with the vote of mentor Joe Gold, it would be difficult for him to get out of trouble. For this, he was also very grateful: "Thank you for being fair!"
Capas didn't say any polite words, just said: "I'm just trying my best to fulfill my duties as the host. It's not me you should thank."
"I will express my gratitude to others in person, but I also thank you for not voting to expel me. Don't worry, I will definitely complete the mission with Sheen and the others," Ian replied.
"This couldn't be better!"
…
The trial is over, and Ian is still guilty. He is about to go out with Sheen and Marcus to find a wizard apprentice at an uncertain time.
Before going out, he and Marcus needed to learn how to identify qualified apprentices and unqualified apprentices. This was taught by Sean Gregg. After all, he also came through this stage back then.
The conditions are actually very simple.
The first thing is to be literate. This is not a hard requirement, but it is best to be literate. After all, the main task of these people during the apprenticeship is to learn history, minerals, medicine and other knowledge. It is not enough without a strong foundation of literacy.
The second requirement is that you should be between 8 and 13 years old and in good health. In fact, the younger the better, because wizards have found that the smaller the affinity of human beings to elements, the stronger they are, especially during the fetal period, and they can even communicate with magical elements like wizards.
However, the fetus does not have a mature enough mind to control these magical elements and store them in the body. It can barely understand these at the age of 8 and above.
In addition, they recruit apprentices to do odd jobs, not to run a nursery. They cannot ask the monastery to take care of them, so there is an age limit. But this time, Sheen said that as long as he is no more than 15 years old, it will be fine.
, after all, the monastery really sends people.
The third and most important condition is to react to the magic stone. The magic stone mentioned here is the only thing in the entire plane that can enhance the wizard's mental power. As long as the abnormality of the magic stone can be sensed, then
The other two conditions will also be selected as long as they are not too different.
In summary, these are the criteria for selecting wizard apprentices.
There are no weird test potions or mysterious magic circles, it's very simple. After all, wizards are just a profession that explores knowledge and gains power, and it follows normal rules.
Although wizards face extraordinary matters and possess extraordinary power, this power is still accumulated through a little bit of practical experience and knowledge, and its origins are still ordinary things.
