Night Raven Master

Chapter 12 Hiring and Doubt

At the dining table, the three continued to eat.

During the delicious and extravagant dinner, the three continued to chat.

This Earl of Fast, as rumored, is relatively friendly. Although as a researcher, the wizard gives the impression of being silent and rigorous, but the talkativeness and elegance of the nobleman are still lingering.

"Art, have you decided where to travel?" Earl Fast moved his fingers lightly, often modulating the palm of the experimental vessel, and precisely cutting the steak on the plate, each cut was the same size.

"It hasn't been decided." Art shook his head, "Perhaps random travel is a better choice."

"Random travel?" Alti chuckled next to him, "No purpose, it's not what a wizard should do, even if it's a wizard apprentice."

"However, even an official wizard will encounter difficult situations, right? Earl?" Art looked at Earl Faster.

Fast nodded, and the beard on his lips curled up: "In fact, there are quite a few situations where it is difficult to make a decision, and random trials are also common."

As he spoke, he suddenly asked, "Yate, would you like to be my assistant?"

Yate was taken aback, but secretly said in his heart: "It's finally here."

Seeing Yate's stupefied look, Fast showed a smile: "Actually, I lack assistants. You also know that the number of nobles in our Kingdom of Allen is much smaller than that of the mainland. The number of wizards is not as good as a duchy on the mainland."

"Under such circumstances, it is also difficult for me to recruit wizard apprentices as assistants." Fast sighed, "In fact, if it is only to deal with medicinal herbs and animal materials, my experimental blender and mercury servants can both mission accomplished."

The experimental modulator, as the name suggests, is a man-made human, and the mercury servant.
Yate recalled the strange maid just now, and didn't know if the maid was a concocter or a human-shaped mercury puppet.

Yate answered rightly: "Because of psionic power?"

"Yes." Fast nodded, "Psychic power can only be possessed by wizards. Some experiments require psionic manipulation. No matter how precise the mechanical operation is, there is no way to achieve the effect."

"Or" Yate thought of a possibility, "Psychic energy itself is also a kind of material?"

Fast looked at him with some surprise: "Have you been exposed to modulation experiments?"

"Not at all." Art shook his head. He had never been exposed to any experiments, and Viscount Claude's laboratory never allowed him to get close, and it was even more impossible for him to get in touch with the notes that recorded the experiments.

"Then, you are really smart." Fast smiled, "As a nobleman, as a wizard, being smart is the most basic requirement."

"Thank you for the compliment." Arthur smiled.

"As an official wizard, I have a lot of psychic powers." Fast sighed, "However, no matter how strong I am, I can't use my psychic powers to conduct multiple experiments at the same time, and Elti is usually traveling, Calling her back this time is another assistant of mine who has also temporarily left the castle due to other matters.”

Hearing Faster's words, Yate also understood the reason. After all, there was a shortage of manpower: "My lord, but I just became a wizard apprentice, and I haven't done any experiments, and I don't have any foundation. Are you sure you want to Hire me?"

Fast smiled: "Of course, as a reward, I will temporarily serve as your mentor and guide you on the path of wizards. After completing my experimental requirements, you can learn from me, including some low-level Spell."

"Knowledge is a precious commodity, more expensive than any luxury you have seen." Fast said with a smile, "So, are you willing to be my assistant?"

"Of course!" Art stood up and saluted, "This is my honor, thank you for your generosity."

Although he valued his [Crow Mage] profession the most, it didn't mean that he didn't value the profession of wizard.

In fact, it can be seen from the fact that the ruling structure of the kingdom of this world and wizards are firmly bound together, the strength of the profession and group of wizards can be seen.

Moreover, along the way, according to his understanding, the wizard's spell power is also the most powerful in the world.

The weak attack ability of the crow mage just needs a profession with strong attack skills as a supplement.

More importantly, this profession, this group, allows him to integrate into this world.

Fast is willing to teach him knowledge, even spells. Although it is only a low-level spell, it is also a good thing for him.

[Night Wizard] Under the occupational column, there are densely packed dark spells for him to choose from. However, these spells require skill points to learn.

Although he knows a way to obtain a lot of skill points, it doesn't mean that he can squander skill points at will.

He needs to try, in this world, whether he can acquire skills through self-learning.

If so, that's definitely good news.

Seeing that Yate agreed to his father's employment, Alti couldn't help showing a smile: "Then, rest early today, get up early tomorrow, your first study is about to begin~"

Looking at the excited Alti, Fast shook his head with a smile, and then said to Art: "Just as Alti said, you need to rest early today, and tomorrow you will enter the real world of wizards."

After a brief chat, Yate came to a guest room under the leadership of the maid—the Mercury servant:
"Master Yate, according to the master's instructions, your room is here." The mercury servant came to the door, his silvery white fingers turned into keys, and opened the door, "Then, I wish you a good rest."

After finishing speaking, Maid Mercury took a step back, and ripples appeared on the wall—her whole body melted into it.

"...It's amazing." Art couldn't help sighing, and then he walked into the room.

In the spacious room, there is a large cabinet, a bed, and a desk. The bed has already been made.

"Wow-wow-"

When Art closed the door, Glora the Crow, who had been silent since entering the castle, finally made a sound.

After a brief communication, although I still couldn't understand what it was saying, I probably understood that the reason for its silence was precisely the psychic energy emanating from that seemingly inactive Earl, which made this only The noisy black crow didn't dare to move at all, and didn't even dare to open its mouth.

The breath of the strong can frighten weak creatures.

The scenes that are often seen in many virtual games also happened in this real world.

"Official wizard, really powerful." Yate lay on the bed and sighed.

"Wow - wow -" Crow flew up and stood on the back of the chair.

"Shut up, Gloria, your voice is too loud, be careful that the Earl will turn you into a barbecue."

"Wow-wow-"

Art closed his eyes, as if preparing to go to sleep, but he became vigilant in his heart.

The power of an official wizard is not only described in the memory of the dead Yate, but he also heard it along the way. Living in an official wizard's castle, he might be monitored at any time.

He didn't dare to show his feet, especially the inventory.

Closing his eyes, he opened the property bar:

[Character name: Black Crow (Art Angus Clauredo)
Occupation: Crow Mage (lv1)

Attributes: Strength 0.6, Constitution: 0.6, Dexterity: 0.7, Spirit: 0.5 (1.0)

Status: under suppression]

"Suppression?" Yate was a little puzzled, and then he was relieved. Being under the psychic radiation of an official wizard, it should be regarded as a state of suppression.

And the number in the attribute column.
"After obtaining the night wizard profession, my spirit has reached 1.0. Now because I am in the psionic energy field of an official wizard, has my mental strength been suppressed to only half?"

With a wry smile in his heart, the passive ability of this official wizard gave him such a great suppression.

However, fortunately, he is not an enemy but he has to be on guard and be more cautious.

On the long table in the restaurant, Earl Fast and Alti were still sitting there.

He glanced at Alti: "Is your identity confirmed?"

Alti looked at the butler beside him, and the butler nodded: "My lord, I have already confirmed that the eldest son of Viscount Claude, Art, escaped with the help of his guards, and then carefully shook off the betrayal. He fled to Glora Town, stole a wallet, hired two hunters to capture a crow in a village near Glora, and then appeared in Ferro Town."

"A crow?" Count Fast touched his chin, "I just don't know how to tame it."

"That's just an ordinary Glora Crow." Alti chuckled, "It's probably because he forcibly used his mental power to suppress the contract."

"Did you contract an ordinary creature?" Fast shook his head, "Is there any doubt?"

"Well." Alti thought for a while, "He asked me about the level of shady art and hand of darkness."

"It seems that there is nothing suspicious." Earl Fast touched the beard on his lips, then turned his head, "Aisha, monitor his actions, and report immediately if there is anything suspicious."

"Yes."

A female face appeared on the wall, and after answering, it disappeared again.

Alti looked at his father: "Is it necessary to be so cautious? He doesn't have that kind of breath."

"Although it is troublesome, it is necessary." Earl Fast shook his head, "Several incidents have occurred in the Kingdom of Allen, and everything must be cautious."

"Okay." Alti shrugged, "Listen to you."

Earl Fast nodded, then said:

"Okay, next, let's show you the growth you have traveled during this time."

Alti was silent for a moment, then smiled: "Father, I think we can continue talking about the things just now."
