The grand class cabin of the Grecia is very luxurious, and the huge space is only for Lena to enjoy. It is also a kind of enjoyment to be able to overlook the earth through the observation deck.
Different from the expected bumps, the whole course of the floating ship was very smooth, like walking on the ground. I don't know whether it was the design of the first class cabin or just like this.
It took about half a day from tolendo to Wagner lake, where Leonardo enjoyed a top-level lunch. The fried beef ribs were tender and juicy, the cream mushroom soup was rich, the bread was soft, and the vegetables were fresh, which was as good as the food level of this noble boy in his memory.
After lunch, Lena took a rest and read the latest news. With the sound of the whistle, the Gracia arrived at the port of Wagner lake.
As soon as he got off the boat, Lena could feel the magic smell in the air. He saw that many of the people coming and going from the port were mages wearing mage robes. The gold edge of their cuffs represented their rank, which was different from the one ring mages most seen near the crescent college. Most of the mages here had the level of three rings. Obviously, the mercury balance was very attractive The threshold is still very high.
"Are you here to try your luck?"
As soon as Lena had gone through the formalities to get off the ship, a man in a double breasted dress came to Lena.
"Take a chance?"
I don't know what the other person said. Lena is a little confused.
"Well, I thought you came here to seek opportunities just like me."
The man laughed and didn't care. Then he stretched out his hand. The golden edge of the cuff was very conspicuous.
"My name is Peter. I've just been promoted to a ring mage."
"Hello, I'm Lena."
Lena naturally responded politely to other people's politeness. After thinking about it, he asked immediately.
"What did you say about luck?"
"Hey, let me tell you... Er, we'd better find a bar to sit in first, and later, when the regular ship of rainbow tower arrives, it's hard to find a seat there."
Peter said brightly, taking Lena into a busy bar and ordering two buttery beers.
"Are you the apprentice of the mage?"
"Yes."
Lena has not passed the examination, nor has he engraved any magic model in the lake of heart, so he is indeed a mage apprentice.
"There are only two kinds of mages who come to Wagner lake at this time point. One is invited to attend the annual academic conference of mercury balance, and the other is a low-level mage like me who hopes to be appreciated by an adult and become his student."
Peter explained patiently, and Lena listened attentively.
At the time of graduation from the school of witchcraft and Wizardry, the apprentices generally have two choices: one is to take part in the examination and strive to become a ring mage; the other is to go home and inherit the family business. The apprentices who become a ring mage need to find a teacher after they get the certificate of passing the examination.
They will go to various famous or ordinary middle level mages with their own achievements, hoping to become their students. Due to the regulations of the high level Council, middle level mages must undertake the obligation of training new people. In addition, there are abundant resources for training a mage, so most people are willing to recruit students.
Among them, some of their students come from their own magic school graduates, and some come from other magic schools.
Peter graduated from Wellington School of witchcraft and Wizardry. This is a seventh level school of witchcraft and Wizardry, which is slightly better than crescent college. But there is no middle level mage in his school, so in order to study, he must find a middle level mage to get guidance. Usually this process will last for months to years, but there is another shortcut, which is this annual meeting.
In this three-day annual conference, most of the elite mages of mercury balance will visit Lake Wagner, which also gives low-level mages the opportunity to contact these adults.
Of course, for mediocre people, no matter how many opportunities there are, it is futile. No more than five students become middle-level mages through this way every year, but people still enjoy it.
Similarly, for other organizations, there are similar activities. According to Peter's introduction, he is good at alchemy and deathly in school, so in addition to the annual meeting of mercury balance, he will also attend the annual meeting of deathly in October.
It sounds a bit like running a job fair in those years. While listening to it, Lena thinks that even if he becomes a mage, he needs to consider a lot of problems. In this world, the vast majority of mages are still inherited by blood or apprentices. The magic school is just a basic education, replacing the aristocratic school and church school in the past.
"So I thought you came to try your luck just like me. After all, the annual meeting will start tomorrow, and all of you should be staying in one after another tonight."
Peter shrugged and said that he also had some so-called treasures summed up by predecessors. For example, which hotel does an adult like to stay in and which bar does an adult go to in the evening sound a little similar to the metaphysics strategy on earth to Lena."Get out of the way, I want to drink more!"
While they were communicating, on one side of the wine table, an uncle with a moustache broke his glass. He seemed to be confused. He stood up and walked for two steps. Then he fell in front of Lena and Peter and began to vomit.
"It stinks..."
Peter covers his nose and runs away.
Lena stood up, stepped back a little, and didn't let vomit stain her clothes.
The uncle was lying on the ground, looking powerless, and attracted the bar owner to pick up the broom.
"If you want to vomit, go out and vomit, this damned guy, and pay for it."
He tried to beat the man, but Lena reached out to block the boss's broom and threw out a silver coin.
"I helped pay for his drinks."
Lena didn't want to do charity all of a sudden, but didn't want to fall into the boring violence.
The uncle struggled to stand up, looked at Lena with muddy eyes, threw him a strange shaped coin, and said in a vague tone.
"Thank you."
Then he squeezed out the crowd and left the bar.
"There are a lot of such people. Wagner is also a city after all. Some people don't pursue it. After earning a little money, they begin to indulge in drunkenness. Especially in these days, there will be more beggars. You will meet them in the future."
Peter seems to be used to it. He sniffs his clothes to make sure there is no peculiar smell. At the same time, he says to Lena,
"I live in room 36 of the black crow hotel next door. Tomorrow, except waiting outside the meeting hall, I should prepare in my room. If you have nothing to do, you can come to me and let's discuss magic and so on "Yes."
