Volume 1, The Wizard's World Chapter 65, Encountering Roger
"Stay in Avon Town for a few days before going to Appleton!" Ian and Warren walked side by side on the muddy main road, followed by four young cavalrymen.
"You mean, your wizarding group wants to recruit apprentices?" Warren's face was full of curiosity. After knowing Ian's purpose, he suddenly became a little excited. His eyes flickered and he asked hesitantly, "You...
...Can you tell me what are the requirements to become a wizard?"
Although they are soldiers of the Hyde family, unless Count Arlin or Ian decides to give them away, they will never be able to leave the Hyde family in their lives. However, Warren and Ian have a close relationship, and when faced with the opportunity, they can become
He couldn't help but not ask about the wizard's temptation.
Ian only felt funny when he looked at his expression. He knew what Warren meant, and he hoped that Warren and the others would reach the standard, but it was a pity... He shook his head and said with a regretful tone: "Don't think about it, Xiao Wa.
Wizard apprentices are all little brats under the age of fifteen. You and I are the same age, so there’s no chance!”
"Oh... damn, why can't I become a high-ranking wizard?" Valen shouted sadly to the sky, as if he had lost some precious opportunity.
Ian looked at his disappointed expression from the side, but what appeared in his eyes was the chaotic killing caused by Alfo during the apocalypse. He thought that the road of wizards was bumpy and dangerous, and there was no place as beautiful as Valen thought. He couldn't help but feel sorry for them.
Feeling lucky.
"Don't be sad, hurry up and do things when you get to town, and try to get a good result today." After a while, the main street of Avon Town came into view, and Ian reminded him.
After hearing the young master's instructions, Valen immediately calmed down and said seriously: "I know, go buy a generous gift for Mr. Locke and ask him to do things for us. It won't delay your business."
Mr. Locke, whom Warren mentioned, is a large farmer in this town. The farm where Warren and the others are currently stationed is one of Locke's properties. When Ian went to visit him this time, in addition to thanking him for taking Warren in, he also wanted to
Tell him about the situation in Avon Town and see how many school-age children there are in and around the town.
As long as he is dealt with, the trip to Avon will basically be half done, and the rest will depend on God's will - I hope Avon town can have a few more talented children because it is at the foot of Norton Mountain.
After buying gifts, a group of six people went straight to the Locke family's manor. When passing a shabby residential area with a slum-style appearance, Ian noticed a familiar figure, so he immediately reined in his horse and walked towards the man.
"Wizard Roger, long time no see!"
At the door of the decaying house, a woman in gray and shabby clothes was talking to a priest. The thin woman was holding a baby in her arms, and her tone and demeanor seemed to be saying goodbye. And the tall priest was none other than Ian and
Roger Isaiah, whom Jasmine met a few months ago.
Pastor Roger turned around and was a little surprised when he saw Ian, but he quickly reacted and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, Ian!"
Ian jumped off the horse and motioned to Warren and others to wait aside. He walked over and asked, "Roger, what are you doing here? Are you preaching?"
Roger shook his head after hearing this and said to Ian: "Most of the people in Evan Town are believers in God. I no longer need me to spread Lord Hydrian's faith. I'm just here to help people in need."
"Oh..." Ian didn't understand the intention of this magician, but he didn't care about it, so he said perfunctorily, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him, saying, "This is Mr. Becky.
I gave you the letter you asked me to bring you!"
"Thank you!" Roger's brows flashed with surprise when he heard Shirley Becky's name. He carefully collected the envelope and then solemnly thanked Ian, which made Ian guess the relationship between the two.
"It's March again. It seems that you came here because of the apprenticeship, right?" Maybe it was because Ian brought him the envelope. Roger, who was originally a little cold towards Ian, suddenly became more "enthusiastic" towards him.
, instead of turning around and leaving, she chatted with him.
Ian saw that it was getting dark very early, so he patiently chatted with him. After all, Roger was someone who had been there, so it would be great if he could get some inspiration.
"By the way, how many people do you want to recruit this time, eight or ten?" Roger asked curiously. He raised his head and showed a recalling look, and pointed something with his hand as if he was calling names, "I have been in Egypt in the past few years.
Wen Zhen walked around a few times and found several children who may have wizard talents. I will give you their addresses and names later. If you are lucky enough, I may be able to complete half of your tasks."
"Really? That's great." Ian couldn't help but look surprised when he heard this. Isn't that why he went to Congressman Locke for this matter? He didn't expect to get this good news from Roger, which can be regarded as a good start.
Okay. It seems like it’s not a bad idea to bring this letter!
He replied with joy on his face: "If we can find five in Avon Town, maybe we can find the remaining thirty in Appleton." If he really couldn't find an apprentice with wizard talent, then he would have to find one.
Some stronger children can make up for it, but this is the last resort!
"What? Thirty-five?" Roger was shocked and shocked by this number. After all, the total number of people in previous years was only twenty or thirty. He thought about it and immediately asked, "You are
How many people came out, how many apprentices were awakened last year?"
Faced with Roger's questioning, the joy on Ian's face faded. He raised his right hand, spread out the five fingers, and then retracted his thumb and little finger: "In 1588, Jasmine and I, a total of five people awakened, but now only one is left.
The next three Awakened ones. This time it’s me, Marcus Wood and Sheen who came out, and we have to bring back 80 apprentices." He did not tell the deal between Capas and Sheen, after all, it was related to the mentor.
Privacy.
"Two people died?" Roger's face was full of disbelief. Although it was not uncommon for new wizards/awakeners to die, it was a bit strange for two people to die in a row in just a few months after awakening.
When he heard that Sean Gregg, who had been in charge of the regular affairs of the monastery for more than ten years, actually accepted the task of being an apprentice, he realized that something was wrong. So Roger immediately took out the letter Shirley gave him, but after reading
But he didn't find the answer after that, so he had to turn his attention to Ian again.
"Tell me what's going on."
Ian looked surprised after hearing Roger's question. Elf Apocalypse caused such a big disturbance more than a month ago, so the outside world couldn't hear it at all. In addition, the Sentinel's Sorrow was chasing him and Jasmine.
He didn't believe that the inquisition and wizards along the way couldn't notice the big movement.
But since Roger asked, he answered in detail. From the incident of Apocalypse, to Consul's request, to the pursuit by the monastery, and his trial, he talked about it for more than half an hour from beginning to end.
, of course, he did not mention the matter of killing Gervas, saying only that the murderer had not been found yet.
After saying that, he carefully observed Roger's expression. In fact, he was also curious as to why Roger, a wizard who had been exiled in disguise, was so concerned about the monastery. There must be something hidden in it. Unfortunately, he only saw Roger frowning.
Nothing was observed outside the lock.
"No wonder!" Roger said with a frown. He saw Ian staring at him, so he said, "During this period, I have been helping to treat diseases and rescue people in nearby villages, and spread agricultural knowledge. I just returned to the town the day before yesterday."
That's it, but Ian's attention was attracted by his answer.
"Agricultural knowledge? Are you studying this?" Ian asked curiously. He was not surprised that Roger knew agricultural knowledge. After all, as long as a wizard is willing to work hard, there is nothing that a wizard cannot study. But, "Why are you studying this?"
, want to benefit the people?"
"Ah... no!" Roger shook his head, "I don't have the time to study these."
(Let me tell you, since when have there been wizards with such noble sentiments!)
"These things were brought from the Royal City by Appleton's agricultural officer. I just learned them and helped everyone update more efficient production methods after preaching, so that everyone can have better food!"
"At least you have to be not hungry before you can have the heart to believe in gods, right?"
