After the officer leading the way left, Shaoke tidied up his clothes, took off the hat on his cloak, walked to the door of the stone house and gently knocked on the heavy door, and waited quietly outside.

After a while, a sound of footsteps came from the room, and the back door was slowly opened. A soldier walked out of the room and looked at the mage in front of him and said, "You are Master Xueye!" Shaoke nodded, "Yes, I am Master Xueye." The soldier performed a polite manner, "Please come with me, the sir are waiting inside!" After that, he turned sideways and signaled Shaoke to go in, and then the door was closed again.

The room was very large, with a long white cloth table placed in the center, and dozens of men in military uniforms sat straight on both sides. On the main seat was an old soldier with gray hair, holding a piece of information in his hand and watching in detail. The rest of the place was empty, and there was no servant around.

As soon as Shaoke came in, everyone in the room suddenly turned their attention to him. The old soldier in the main position also put down the information in his hand and looked at the mage who came in.

Shaoke was watched by these soldiers, and the feeling of discomfort was stronger than the fifth-level soldiers who were taking the female mage. He clenched his nails hard on his palms, raised his head and moved to the front of the table, and performed the regular mage etiquette: "Master Shaoke. Xueye has met all the officials."

The officer who opened the door sat in his position, and the old officer with gray hair nodded and said, "Welcome to you, Master Xueye, please sit down."

Shaoko sat straight down on the only high-back chair, putting his staff beside him, quietly waiting for the officers' questions.

"Mage Xueye, I think you already know the reason for coming here, so we won't say more. You still have three months to rest. During this period, you can go to the special library of the military department to copy some spells. After three months, you must report on the position assigned to you. Do you have any opinions?" After the old officer carefully looked at Shaoke, he briefly explained to him what he was going to face.

Shaoko replied: "Sir, when will my position be settled? Can I refuse?" After that, he stared at the officer who was facing the table nervously, waiting for the other party's answer.

"Haha!" The loud laughter was particularly loud in the empty room. "Young mage, do you know that there are many mages here waiting for the military headquarters to change their positions, so you have this idea!" The old officer picked up the documents that had just been placed on the table, searched for a few times and then said: "Your information is here. In fact, for some reasons, after asking the two companions who came first before you, we sent you a summoning letter in advance. Unexpectedly, your companions had no errors in their estimates, and they were promoted not long after, haha!"

Shaoke blushed and didn't know what to say. The officers sitting by the side twitched slightly on the serious faces. Fortunately, the old officer's conversation relieved him of the siege. "Snow Night Mage, according to regulations, you have the right to choose one of the positions we gave. If this happens, you will receive only one hundred general gold coins every month, and there are no other benefits. The other is to obey the order of the military headquarters, so that you will get three hundred general gold coins every month, and you will also get some free auxiliary drugs, of course, they are all low-level." After flipping through a few pieces of information, the old officer checked the expression of the mage in front of him and then said: "When copying spells, you can copy two for free at the same level, and the rest only needs to be paid half of the money, and the transcription room is free to use."

Shaoke was stunned and said, "No... Isn't it... that all the mages belonging to the military headquarters will copy spells for free? And those auxiliary medicinal materials are also provided for free."

As soon as he finished speaking, the officers and old officers laughed out loud. "Haha! That's the past. This regulation has actually been changed for hundreds of years. It's just that those mages who care about these matters don't modify the agreements at all, so that's why."

Shaoke was blushed by everyone's laughter. Fortunately, he probably asked this question every mage, so he was not angry. Besides, all the officers in front of him were officers. As long as he stayed in the army for a day, these officers could care about him for a day. Of course, too much demand would definitely not work.

"Can I know what positions I choose first?" Shaoke and others stopped laughing and asked in a calm mood. He planned to see if there were any suitable positions among these positions, and then make a choice.

The old officer in the middle shook his head and rejected his proposal, "Snowy Night Mage, you can consider how to choose. This is your freedom. We will not force you. But this year, there are only two lucky people who choose their own positions. Among those positions, the positions of assistant mentor are either patrolling the streets or standing guard on the city walls. There are also many unlucky mages, all the positions for them to choose are on the battlefield, so you have to think about it carefully."

After hearing the old officer's explanation, Shaoke felt even more confused, "Sir, why do you have all the choices on the battlefield? Didn't you say there are several positions for you to choose?"

The old officer smiled, put down the information, touched his gray hair and sighed: "In fact, all the positions offered were written by the high-level mages. They would write whatever they like to write on it. Then whenever a mage arrived, we would randomly select a few of the positions they wrote for you to choose from. We would never check what those mages wrote." Faced with Shaoke's suspicious gaze, the old officer quickly explained.

Shaoke sighed in his heart. He knew that these officers had a trick. It must be that these officers thought there was a shortage of people in that position, so they put these positions in the choices. What is the difference between this and obeying their arrangements? "Sir, I don't think I need to consider it anymore. I chose to obey the arrangements. After all, I am still a military mage now."

The officers who were listening to the side looked at Shaoke with appreciation, and the old officer smiled happily, "Haha, there are fewer and fewer mages who make choices like you. Remember when I was young, most of those mages chose to obey the arrangements. Now, alas!"

The old officer was silent for a while, and after returning to the soldiers' due attitude, he shouted loudly: "I'll appoint you now." He said that, and stood up first, Shaoke and the officers also stood up to listen to his orders.

"I appointed Shaoko. The Snowy Night Mage went to the 330th fortress at the junction of the Desas Empire three months later to report to the enemy's mages." After saying that, he solemnly pulled out an appointment book from the information and placed it on the table. The officers next to him signed it one by one, then sat down. Finally, after he came to Shaoko, Shaoko carefully read the appointment book, and solemnly signed his name and branded his spiritual mark at the bottom.

When he was planning to look at the names of the officers above, the officers in front handed him another appointment letter, the same as the ones before, but he still needed to sign and brand his own spiritual mark.

After doing this, Shaoke left a copy on him. According to the provisions of this appointment letter, if he was promoted to a third-level mage within ten years during his service at the border, he could come back at any time. If he still had not been promoted ten years later, he could also come back to accept the appointment of the military headquarters again. Of course, the premise of all this is to be able to live until that time.

Shaoke looked at the officers who were still sitting by the side, stood up and performed the standard mage etiquette, and planned to say goodbye and leave.

"Mage of Snow Night." The old officer called out Shaoko who was planning to leave.

"I need to do anything." Shaoke turned around and looked at the old officer and said.

"Be careful wherever you go. There was a position in the library, but it was replaced by someone, so now you can only go to the border. I think this may not be a bad thing for you. I hope you can come back early. At that time, I hope you will come to me wearing a third-level mage robe. I will first stand up and point to the officer who opened the door for Shaoke and said, "Go and bring the Snow Ye Mage to replace the new robe, receive a three-month subsidy, tell the servants what to pay attention to. In addition, I will give it to the Snow Ye Mage to give it to the Snow Ye Mage." After saying that, I was afraid that Shaoke would refuse and explained: "You first came to the imperial capital. I think you must spend money to buy some items, bring more! Even if you have gold coins there, you can't buy very good auxiliary materials."

After Shaoke performed the etiquette again, he went out under the leadership of the soldier.

After the old officer closed the door, he sat on the chair and looked carefully at the other documents. There were ten positions for Shaoke to choose. They all went to the battlefield, but the place was different. The old officer looked at the information and tore off all the information. The officers who had not left were staring at the old officer blankly.

"What do you think? Take some appointment letters and send them to the mages who have been more than four months old, so that they can choose them immediately." Faced with the sudden anger of the old officer, an officer opened his mouth to say something, but was pulled out by his companions. Now is not the time to persuade the other party calmly.

After leaving the stone house, Shaoke walked a few steps and looked back at the slightly old house again. He sighed softly. The officer in front turned his head and looked at him and said, "What's wrong, Master Xueye."
