Grey rain country - it is named because there is bound to be a grey rain in the tender season of each year.
This is a country of professional people, in which the power is not held by the traditional king or Pope, but by a "High Council" composed of master ministers of six legendary organizations.
In name, the parliament needs to "consult" the nobles before making a decision. But in fact, everyone knows that in this country, the nobles are a complete decoration. The six masters are in full control of all rights, and the legendary organization behind them makes the gods dare not interfere in this country. Therefore, the name "democracy" is really a symbol The autocratic "High Council" is also called "six member house of Representatives"!
There are six legendary organizations that control the country and design key branches here. They are: mage union everywhere in the mainland of Phelan, "Council of sages" who have an affair with the gods, "santalin society" which is notorious, "decapitation alliance" which is rich in crazy soldiers, "thinking of truth" which is a neutral organization of casters, and the most unpopular organization The popular "thieves' union".
These six organizations have established branches in the not so vast gray rain country. On the one hand, they are in charge of the military and political power of the country, and on the other hand, they control the collection and trade of the precious magic plant, Eupatorium griseum.
A key branch of "thoughts of truth" is located in the southern swamp of the country. As a more important branch, the "thoughts of truth" branch of Huiyu country is far from the "dispensable" small branches set up in the marginal areas in all aspects.
In this key branch, there are five master casters, and the head of the branch is a well-known level 19 prophet.
There are more than 30 official strong men and hundreds of apprentices under the division.
"Thinking of truth" pursues mage education very much. Almost all its key branches recruit apprentices and train mages regularly. Every member above the official level is obliged to take some time to teach and guide apprentices unless he is on a mission or has applied for "continuous research", and this branch is no exception.
It's the middle of the autumn harvest season. Among the numerous poor people, aristocrats and even professional families in grey rain country, the first day of the next month is a big day that can't be ignored - because the three caster organizations will start recruiting new apprentices on that day.
The three caster organizations recruit apprentices once every 15 years. Each time, they only recruit young people over the age of 10 and under the age of 20 as apprentices. Therefore, for ordinary people, the chance to join legend organization and become a caster is only once in a lifetime.
Therefore, even if there is a month to go before the apprenticeship date, countless poor families and noble families in Huiyu country have begun to prepare with great enthusiasm. In this extremely solidified and cruel class world, the son of the poor is almost certainly a poor, but the son of the noble may not continue to be a noble, so it is almost the poor who can worship to become a professional The only chance to support the poor was also the inevitable choice for the nobles to ensure their family status.
In order to seize this only opportunity, how can everyone not be prepared?
Recruiting apprentices is also a very important or troublesome thing for the three caster organizations with a complete education system (the mage Union does not recruit apprentices). After all, this matter is quite complicated and highly valued.
For "truth thinking", this time period is even busier. As a semi academic mage organization, "truth thinking" always chooses apprentices based on talent rather than origin, so its apprenticeship recruitment method is to send formal mages to lead a group of apprentice mages to cities and towns to test the school-age young girls with mage talent and bring them back to the college.
It takes time on one hand, and the most important thing is that the process of recruiting apprentices is not so peaceful.
You know, although ordinary people with the ability to become casters are one in a thousand, there are still enough, but those with better talent are really rare. In this case, the three caster organizations will compete for those apprentices with superior talent.
Don't think that this kind of competition is a good thing for the apprentices to choose for themselves. All neutral caster organizations generally follow the principle of "first come, first served". The party who finds the apprentices first will take away the qualified apprentices directly. However, evil camp organizations like the "santalin society" will generally rob the apprentices on the way, and destroy them if they can't get them. Anyway, they won't let you Happy to add new blood. (don't ask the apprentices if they want to, what do they think of the caster organization? Can I eat it.
It is precisely because of the competition of "peers" and unreasonable robbers blocking the way that the action of recruiting apprentices is vividly called the "new blood war". For the official mage who has received the task of "recruiting apprentices", this job is not a comfortable job like tourism, but a job that is always on the way at full speed, or even a fight if he doesn't agree Work, the most important thing is - bring back the number of apprentices is not enough to be fined!
On this day, seeing the once-in-15-year "recruit apprentices" task hanging on the task panel, several official casters hesitated in the hall of "thinking of truth".It's also because these formal strong people who usually live in seclusion stop here, and the bustling task hall is scattered and quiet. All the apprentices of the mage have been quietly from the edge of the hall, and they dare not send out any atmosphere, for fear that they will disturb the thinking of the "formal mage adults".
"The reward this time is more generous than last time. At 30 o'clock, you can buy a" misty fog "potion"!
A short official mage stood in the hall, pointed to the top "recruit apprentices" task icon and whispered to his companions.
Next to him stood an ugly sorceress with half of her face burned and no skin, who was also a formal sorceress. She responded to the short Sorcerer's words impolitely:
"don't just think about the task reward. Recently, the group of red robes were restless again. In the last" recruit apprentices "task, Maddy even lost her life. She was a formal sorcerer of level 12 Where are you!
"That's because she is so stubborn that she doesn't know how to run when she meets two red robed lunatics..."
"If you run away, you'll lose your life. If an apprentice doesn't bring it back, do you know how much you have to pay for it? You don't know the face of" thinking of truth "asking for money I Wu Wu... "
Just as the second half of the female mage's words came out, the short mage jumped up and covered her mouth.
Of course, she was very unhappy when she was suddenly covered with her mouth, but when she just threw away the dirty hands on her mouth and looked at the short mage fiercely, she saw that the short mage who was not afraid of everything was looking behind her.
The sorceress turned her head mechanically, and then She saw a grey robed old man with gray hair and an old cloth over his eyes standing behind him in silence.
