Chapter 183: Helpless Reality
The one who received Shaoke was not the old mage at the time, but a young | T master. The second-level mage did not recognize Shaoke's level in time, and asked Shaoke about his purpose in confusion. "Master, what can I do for you?" As he said that, he invited the guest to sit on the chair beside him.
"I want to find two mages who work here. They are Master Fei Yi and Master Loki. I think they should still be here." Looking at the mage in front of him, Shaoke suddenly felt that the other party was very young, and the tenderness on his face could not be concealed by the robe. After saying that, he took out a few general gold coins and handed them to the other party, hoping that the other party could help him find something.
The second-level mage naturally collected gold coins, then took a heavy book and said, "I have just come here to work for a while and I am not familiar with the mages here, but I can check it out for you." As he said that, he quickly flipped through the book and paused for a while and said, "They are still working here, but now they are not in the academy. They still need a month to rest before they can return to the academy."
The news that the two mages were not here made Shaoke a little disappointed, but he still thanked each other. Then he asked the other party about the old mage who was working here.
He once again gave the mage several universal gold coins. The other party also answered Shaoke's questions readily.
"He left here." The second-level mage hesitated for a moment and took Shaoke's gold coins again. "It is said that he was assigned to his hometown by the military, where he will teach some simple magic knowledge for ordinary children." As he said that, he asked Shaoke if there was anything else.
After listening to the other party's answer, Shaoke never asked about anything else. However, he still wrote a letter here and asked the other party to deliver it to Master Fei Yi and Master Loki. The second-level gray-robed mage accepted Shaoke's gold coins and agreed readily. Seeing that all this was completed, Shaoke left here.
There is no bustling center around the Mist Academy, and ordinary pedestrians rarely come here, but there are a large number of low-level mages and some merchants who are active here. Of course, there are also a small number of low-level nobles who continue to recruit mages they think are good here and provide them with them. However, the offerings provided by those nobles are only slightly better than those of the Mage Union.
Seeing the mages coming in and out of the taverns or hotels in groups, Shaoke felt very excited for a moment. He knew that he had missed the time to contact some of the better mages.
After staying alone at the gate of the academy for about a magical time, Shaoke bought food in a tavern next to him, and finally took a carriage to the mage union in the imperial capital. He wanted to meet the female mage Walton, but he hadn't seen the other party for many years, and hadn't received the other party's letter for nearly a year.
After getting off the carriage, Shaoke took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down a little excited. Looking at the large number of mages in front of him, Shaoke just tightened his cloak and tried to lower the brim of his hat and walked inside.
The two fifth-level mages guarded at the door just glanced at Shaoke casually and let him go. After all, there is always one that cannot be completely concealed by the wizards' mental power or magical fluctuations. Of course, even if Shaoke does not belong to the mage union, they allow the mages to enter. This is not like the military library. Only the military mages are allowed to enter and read materials and borrow books.
When a young female mage working behind a long counter heard Shaokodi's request, she shook her head regretfully and told Shaoko: "If you don't have a specific address for the other party, we cannot find a place for you. And we are not called the Francis Walton female mage." After that, she turned around to receive other mages who came to ask.
After hearing the female mage's answer, Shaoke said a little dissatisfied: "Isn't the address I just mentioned yet? I used to be looking for her?" As he said that, he loudly reminded the female mage to answer his question. However, the female mage just glanced at Shaoke and signaled him to wait a moment, and then continued to answer the questions to the other mage.
The mage's patience in dealing with some things has disappeared most of the time on Shaoke. He didn't want to wait here and made his own request loudly again. He stared at the male mage who continued to ask the female mage questions. He hoped that the other party could stop asking boringly.
Facing the mage with a bad temper, the female mage had no choice but to smile apologetically at the other mage. She turned to Shaoke: "The place where she lives is a seventh-level mage. There is no third-level mage Francis Walton, which you mentioned. I don't think I need to repeat the answer again." As she said that, she stared at Shaoke's chapped lips outside. She hoped that the mage with a bad temper in front of her could understand her meaning.
I said when did Master Francis Walton leave here? T must have her record." After saying that, Shaoko waited anxiously for the female master to answer. But he was still disappointed with the other party's answer.
"We are not qualified to check the information of those mages who left here. I think you can search for some other places." The female mage smiled and tried to make herself look gentler. "I'm very busy now." As she said that, she nodded to Shaoke and continued her work.
After hearing the explanation of the female mage in front of him, Shaoke was a little annoyed. Why didn't he ask about the female mage's position after promotion? With this annoyance, Shaoke had to look for the figure of the female mage Walton in the hall alone. Finally, he asked some other female mages who worked here, and found the address she gave him according to the route guided by the other party.
Unfortunately, the mages guarding there did not allow Shaoke to enter at all, because this place is the residence of the seventh-level mages, and more because Shaoke is not a mage belonging to the mage trade union. Therefore, when facing the gold coins handed over by Shaoke, the guards still refused Shaoke's request, even the request to deliver messages was rejected.
Helplessly, Shaoke had to wander aimlessly in some areas of the mage union developed by the mage union, hoping to find the figure of the female mage Walton here. Unfortunately, until the night came, Shaoke still had no gains. After he asked many mages, the mages told Shaoke that there was no female mage called Francis Walton here.
In desperation, Shaoke had to leave the mage union and wandered around the bustling streets. From time to time, a group of cavalry passing by on the wide streets were all black armored and spears. Even when they encountered mages passing by the road dedicated to the army, they would not slow down even a little speed. At this time, the mages quickly walked to the opposite side before the cavalry arrived, or retreated to wait for the black armored cavalry to pass by.
As the night became deeper and deeper, most of the merchants and civilians on the street returned to their residences to avoid the increasingly fierce cold wind. Shaoke seemed to be unable to feel the cold and continued walking aimlessly on the street.
Just as Shaoko was planning to find a hotel to rest, a team of cavalry stayed beside Shaoko and shouted Shaoko. "Snow Night Master?" A crisp female voice spoke Shaoko's name. "Let's go back to the military headquarters together!"
When Shaoko turned his head and saw the woman calling him, he found that the other party was the female mage who accompanied him to meet the commander in the morning. The female mage rode on a tall horse. When she saw Shaoko turning her head, she immediately dispelled the uncertainty in her heart, jumped off the horse, and repeated what she had just said in a positive tone.
Faced with the female mage's proposal, Shaoko immediately refused. "I think a mage is choosing the legion he will serve in the future, which is a right that no one can erase." Speaking of this, Shaoko continued to walk forward. "Even if the agreement was signed, as far as I know, the mages can freely switch between the legion under the legion within a legion." After saying that, he turned the staff in his hand a few times and added: "I just thought of the Blizzard Thirty-Three Legion, and I think this legion is suitable for me."
Shaoke's stubbornness made the female mage following behind a little helpless. She quickly followed Shaoke and stopped him and said, "Although the mage rejected your suggestion, I think he will agree to your request in a few days." After saying that, he explained for the mage: "He is just a bit old-fashioned, well! It's just a little bit."
"I will not accept the appointment of the military headquarters until I agree to my request, otherwise I will not return there." Shaoke gently waved the staff in his hand, signaling the female mage who was blocking him to make way, and he was not afraid of anything because the other party was a fifth-level mage.
"You are not asking for it, you are a threat of noon." The female mage turned sideways slightly, let Shaoke pass by, and raised the volume and said: "The mage who performed the assignment of Blizzard Legion this time will definitely not agree to your request. If you still stick to your ideas, you are breaking the original agreement."
