Bai Yi put his hand on the crystal, but the crystal showed no response.
"Um?"
The imperial master was puzzled and asked Bai Yi to try a few more times. Bai Yi did so, but there was still no response.
"It's strange. It must be broken..."
The Imperial Master muttered and put his hand up as he spoke.
With a bang, his attribute panel appeared normally, and he frowned slightly.
Then, there was something wrong with the way he looked at Bai Yi.
"National Master, what's going on?"
The king spoke and asked the questions of everyone in the hall.
The Imperial Preceptor looked around, then looked at the king, and smiled bitterly:
"Your Majesty, if I guess correctly, this little friend is probably just an ordinary person."
"Intestine man? What do you mean?"
"The meaning is very simple, that is, this little friend is just an ordinary person. He does not have outstanding magic power like other brave men. He... is a person without magic power."
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly went into an uproar.
"Ordinary people without magic power? That's right."
"Yes, this is the first time I've seen this happen."
"Could there be a mistake?"
"Probably not. The crystal was made by the Imperial Master himself. If the crystal is broken, there's no way he wouldn't know about it."
"This is really a wonder in the world."
"But fortunately, everyone else is very strong, so that's not bad."
Although they don't understand it, people naturally accept this situation.
At this time, their eyes on Bai Yi were obviously different. From the expectation and respect at the beginning, they gradually turned to contempt.
Especially other time-travelers, they have a disdain for refugees from slums.
Now seeing that Bai Yi is a worthless waste, he applauds in his heart and is very happy.
"Deserved it."
"As a pariah, you should accept your fate."
Although their voices were very low, Bai Yi still heard them, but he would not be angry because of them, and he had long been accustomed to such words.
——
The arrangements after that are also very simple.
Under the king's arrangement, the national advisor led the brave men away.
As for Bai Yi, an ordinary person, he stayed alone in the main hall, looking extremely embarrassed.
"You...what's your name?" the king said, his tone slightly contemptuous.
"Return to Your Majesty, Bai Yi."
But people had to bow their heads under the eaves, but Bai Yi still put on a smile.
"If you have no other ideas, how about taking an official position in the palace?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Ali, find something for him to do. That's it, retire from the court."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hall dispersed.
A middle-aged white-robed man named Ali came to Bai Yi and said with a smile:
"Come on, boy, you will like it there."
——
Director.
This is the job assigned to Bai Yi by Al, the manager.
He is not the director of a kindergarten, but the director of the back garden of the palace.
His job is also very simple, which is to patrol the garden every day and check whether the gardeners are working well.
It's a very idle job with no room for advancement, but Bai Yi likes it very much.
After all, this can be regarded as an iron rice bowl, and compared to the life in my original world, this job with no worries about food and drink is not bad.
Of course, Bai Yi didn't relax too much. He still found something for himself to do.
For example, drinking tea and going to the library to study the words of this world.
Another example is making tea and playing chess with the gardener.
As well as making fried tea and drinking tea.
——
Before I knew it, a month had passed.
During this period, I heard that other students had made rapid progress and activated a large number of skills.
But Bai Yi didn't care about their stories. After all, those people never regarded him as one of their own.
——
The contented white one was lying in the grass in the back garden, happily blowing the comfortable autumn wind and taking a nap.
When he woke up, the sky had darkened, the sun was setting, and it was already dusk.
Strange, where are the people?
Just as he stood up, Bai Yi noticed something was wrong.
Because there should usually be many gardeners in the garden at this time, but now there is no one.
Just when he was confused, a burst of movement attracted him.
"There's only one month left, is there still enough time?"
It was the king's voice. Looking over, he saw the king's imperial advisor walking towards this direction, followed by several guards.
Seeing this scene, Bai Yi understood immediately.
Most probably the king wanted to take a walk in the garden and had the gardeners sent out.
And because he slept in a hidden bush without being discovered, this scene happened.
——
Bai Yizheng was hesitating whether he should go out, but he heard the national master say:
"That's it, Your Majesty. Although those brats are arrogant and rude, their magic power is much stronger than the last batch of brave men. The more we let them fight against the demon army, the more we can preserve our strength and maximize the results."
"Where's the self-destruction magic? Have you taught them?"
"Back to Your Majesty, five seedlings that can be used have been selected."
"It won't be exposed, right?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, they don't know that there is no resurrection magic in this world.
Moreover, just in case, I also blocked their memory of self-destruction magic.
The lockdown will not be lifted until the day of the big battle.
And with the magic power reserves of those five people, once they self-destruct, the Demon King's army will definitely suffer heavy losses, and then it will be the best time for us to counterattack."
"Hehehe... That's good. After all, they are a bunch of brainless brats who fly into the sky with just a few words of praise.
Resurrection magic? I can go to the battlefield with that thing, hahaha..."
The two of them smiled proudly, and Bai Yi in the grass heard it clearly.
At this moment, he felt extremely uneasy, not because he was worried about the other brave men after knowing the truth.
Instead, he was afraid that he would be discovered and killed by the king.
However, what exactly are you afraid of?
"Meow!!!"
A cat meow suddenly sounded from behind, Bai Yi's body trembled, and when he looked back, he saw only a black cat.
Before he could make his next reaction.
"who?!!!!"
The Imperial Master waved his hand, and a sudden gust of wind blew away the branches covering Bai Yi.
At that moment, the two sides looked at each other, and the king's master was obviously stunned.
Bai Yi turned around and ran away before the other party recovered, heading straight for the garden exit.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you chase after me!!!"
——
"Haah, haah..."
Bai Yi ran as fast as he could. He had no other advantages except his speed.
Because the back garden is his job, he is familiar with the surrounding environment.
He deliberately chose a route that was usually less crowded, just to avoid being discovered when escaping.
However, contrary to expectations, because all the gardeners in the garden were called out by the Imperial Master, there were many more people on this road.
No, Bai Yi was running too fast. In addition, a man carrying water suddenly appeared in the middle of the road and he couldn't avoid it.
"boom!!!!"
The two sides collided directly with each other and fell completely.
When he came back to his senses, the guards had arrived, and one of them punched Bai Yi hard on the head, knocking him out.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already tied up with a towel in his mouth.
Look at the environment? It’s none other than the deepest part of the garden.
Several old gardeners were digging a hole, obviously intending to bury themselves.
