Little Powell stood in a corner of the garden, feeling anxious and depressed. A spire building dozens of meters high stood in front of him. It was majestic and extremely shocking. He looked up and could not imagine how such a huge fortress was built in his wildest dreams.
A few days ago, the Powell family suffered a sudden and devastating blow. Little Powell escaped from the territory like a bereaved dog and came to Banshee Castle in panic. He hoped that the current controller of the Phils family would listen to his pitiful experience.
It was obviously a tragedy of the destruction of a knighthood, but after hearing this, a certain low-level butler of the Phils family just said "hmm" and asked little Powell to wait - Mr. Phils was very busy and was not sure
When to meet him.
Little Powell fully thought that if he hurriedly came to report, he would be taken seriously by the superiors and receive an immediate interview. But in fact, he was the only one who was worried, and his experience did not cause much trouble at all.
After staying in the hotel for two days, little Powell came to the city lord's palace on time every morning and afternoon to ask humbly... "Is Mr. Phils free to see me?"
After asking again and again, little Powell became disheartened. On the afternoon of the third day, Louis Fiers was finally able to spare a quarter of an hour to discuss the tragedy of a certain knight under his command.
Little Powell stood waiting in the garden of the city lord's mansion before dark, surrounded by flowers and shrubs spawned by arcane magic, and a beautiful magic fountain. It was also his first time here. In addition to lamenting the luxury of the superiors,
envy.
The City Lord's Mansion covers an area of more than ten acres. Little Powell looked up at the spire for a long time and unconsciously compared it with his own wooden fortress. The difference between cloud and mud made him feel humble and depressed.
He has never wanted power and status as much as he does now, but he also knows that power is like the gloomy sky - you can feel the oppression it brings, but you cannot control it.
"Mr. Powell, please come this way." A servant called.
Little Powell hurried forward. The servant of the City Lord's Mansion looked at him deliberately and reminded him again: "Please pay attention to your identity and remain respectful. Lord Phils will ask you a few questions, just answer normally."
Little Powell nodded, feeling even more miserable in his heart. He had not yet inherited the family business, so he could only be regarded as a commoner, and could not even enjoy the honorific titles of 'Your Excellency' and 'You'. The servants of the City Lord's Mansion openly taught him a lesson.
In particular, the sentence "Pay attention to your identity" is even more heartbreaking, as if a big hand is viciously opening the scars of little Powell, reminding him that he is just a son of a pariah.
The servant ignored little Powell's changing expression and just led him through the city lord's palace. After walking through a maze-like journey, the two stopped outside a study, and the personal maid went in to report.
The maid went in for a while and then came out, but she replied coldly: "Mr. Powell, Mr. Phils already knows about your situation and appeal. He said that he will handle it as appropriate. Please go back and wait patiently."
"I..." Anger finally emerged in Little Powell's heart. If he hadn't known where he was, he would have burst into curses and even rushed into the study to find someone to fight. But now...
.,"I see."
Little Powell lowered his head, bowed his head deeply, full of grievances and sadness. He followed the servant back and left in despair. The moment he walked out of the gate of the city lord's palace, he looked back at the tall, magnificent and shocking building.
, my heart is full of hatred.
"Are you Powell?" Outside the city lord's palace, a wizard apprentice wearing a robe shouted, looking at him with disdain.
"It's me." Little Powell answered mechanically, feeling gloomy, and then asked, "Who are you?"
"Lord Bank wants to see you." the wizard apprentice said.
Bank?
Little Powell's hard-headed mind turned around, "Is it Master Bank, the leader of the wizard group in the city, the strongest wizard in the North, and known as the 'Guardian of Banshee Castle'?"
The wizard apprentice nodded proudly, "You missed a title. Mr. Bank specializes in the 'prophecy system', and he is also known as the 'real wise man'. The master is somewhat interested in the experiences of the Powell family and would like to ask you a few questions.
."
Not being able to refuse at all, the wizard apprentice who came to call pointed to the carriage parked nearby and got on first. Little Powell was a little strange, but now he had no choice but to go to see the 'real wise man' uneasily.
.
After getting on the bus, the wizard apprentice asked in a private capacity: "I heard that your family was destroyed and your father died. Who did it?"
Little Powell was stunned and found it difficult to speak. After a while, he hesitated and replied: "Destroyed by evil spirits."
"What evil?" the wizard apprentice continued to ask.
This question was more difficult to answer. Little Powell's brain was in severe pain and his mouth was dry. He thought over and over again. Finally, he gritted his teeth and whispered: "It was destroyed by a demon named Victor Hugo."
Destiny mocks those who are self-righteous at this moment...
Lorraine was also feeling uneasy at this moment. The week of study was over, and Teacher Seth announced that he would take a short test. Although he did not say what would happen after the test, the first batch of twenty-three students were all scared out of their wits.
The reason is very simple. The living treatment provided by Uncle Zhou is so good. Free board and lodging, full meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each person is given three sets of new clothes, including shoes, socks and underwear. Recruiting apprentices also benefits their families and provides extremely high wages.
A high-quality job provides a stable life.
After living like this for a week, all the students gained a few kilograms of weight. Lorraine was originally so skinny and small that she could count every rib after taking off her clothes, but now she has changed a lot.
But every time he went to class, Seth would scare the apprentices from time to time. He either said there were too many people and couldn't support them, or that the master couldn't use so many people and should fire those useless trash. Every time he said this,
It made the students terrified.
No one wants to go back to the original situation of hunger and cold, and everyone treasures their current life. Everyone racks their brains and studies hard. However, the critical impact caused by the final exam has still cast a huge shadow until now. Think about it.
Nightmare.
The learning content arranged by Zhou Qingfeng was actually very simple. After all, Seth didn't study for a long time, so he couldn't teach any advanced knowledge. Lorraine memorized all the teaching materials that she had copied before, but she just didn't know what to do.
"If I fail to pass the exam, I will be finished, and my whole family will be finished." After class, Lorraine secretly ran to the tutor Falstin, "I'm finished, and so are you. You can't learn from it anymore.
I got a copper plate here."
Facing the completely anxious Lorraine, the dark and thin Falstin frowned. He also memorized all Lorraine's textbooks in the past few days. Not only did he teach Lorraine all the content word for word, but he also added a lot of expansions.
.
The conflict between the two came from Falstin's advice to Lorraine to calm down, so as not to affect her performance in the next day's exam. As a result, Lorraine burst into tears and burst into tears on the spot. After crying for a while, Lorraine asked again: "Round
How is the area calculated?”
This question is really difficult!
Falstin said with a grimace: "I majored in history, and I'm really not good at mathematics. I only remembered a formula, but I didn't care at all."
There were four questions in the final exam. Falstin explained the last three questions repeatedly. He used his spare time to instill a lot of knowledge about geography, history and humanities into Lorraine. Only mathematics was a problem, and he didn't know how to calculate the area of a circle.
?
"But Teacher Seth said that the master attaches great importance to mathematics and believes that mathematics is the most important knowledge. People who don't understand mathematics are idiots." Lorraine frowned, "What if I can't solve this question again?"
"
"Normally this question shouldn't be asked again." Falstin frowned. He wanted to comfort Lorraine, but who would comfort him?
Two grasshoppers on a rope were at a loss and had no idea.
