Internship

Once outside the town, Leonard's ordeal began.

He started running at a speed as fast as the wind, and the members of the Gale Mercenaries gritted their teeth and tried to keep up.

In order to take care of the members of the Gale Mercenary Group, Leonard intentionally controlled his speed except for the initial burst of force. However, a test was a test after all, and he did not stop along the way. He ran for two hours straight until he reached Kunqi City.

There is a teleportation array in Kunqi City, and there is a teleportation array leading to the Royal Magic Academy.

Leonard paid for a number and lined up.

The five members of the Gale Mercenary Group arrived at Kunqi City panting and struggling.

"Where is my lord? Where did he go?" The burly man carrying a huge axe looked around nervously, searching.

The boy, about seventeen or eighteen years old, tried to calm his breathing, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"The adults walked past here." The young man raised his hand and pointed in a direction.

"Where?" Captain John thought for a moment, "Did the lord go to the teleportation array?"

"Hurry up and follow me." The short-haired woman tightened the package again and urged urgently.

Five people hurriedly ran towards the teleportation array.

As soon as they arrived at the teleportation array, the five people saw Lord Shiye Liuxing standing at the end of the team.

The five people breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, I caught up.

John paid for 5 numbers and queued up obediently.

The teleportation array in Kunqi City was a small one, just like the one used in Fessen Town. It could only transport one person at a time. After waiting for a long time, it was finally Leonard's turn. Leonard looked back at the Gale Mercenaries, smiled slightly, and stepped into the teleportation array.

A white light flashed, and Leonard's figure disappeared.

John and the others became anxious and kept urging the three people in front of them to hurry up.

Finally it was their turn and they jumped in one after another.

After the dazzling white light, they arrived at a large square.

This is the teleportation square of the Royal Magic Academy.

The venue is spacious, the voices are noisy, and white lights are lit from time to time, creating a lively scene.

John was the first to come over, and as soon as he came out he looked around for the adults.

Lord Siye Liuxing stood with his arms folded across his chest, his expression calm, waiting beside the teleportation array.

John breathed a sigh of relief.

John stood obediently beside the adult.

After all five members of the Gale Mercenary Group had arrived, Leonard walked towards the teleportation array in Phison Town.

John and the others followed quietly.

Leonard walked to the teleportation array in Fessen Town and turned to them, saying, "This array also transmits one person at a time. You guys line up and follow."

After saying that, Leonard walked into the teleportation array, and the five members of the Gale Mercenary Group followed suit.

After leaving the teleportation array, John subconsciously looked around, looking for someone to collect the money.

Although the Fierce Wind Mercenary Group is a second-rate mercenary group, they are not country bumpkins who have never used the teleportation array and know the payment process of the teleportation array.

When using the teleportation array in other cities, you have to pay first and then teleport, but it is different in the teleportation array square of the Royal Magic Academy. You have to teleport first and then pay.

Because most of the empire's teleportation arrays lead to the Royal Magic Academy's teleportation array square, it can be said that this is the entire empire's teleportation array transportation transit station. But precisely because it is the entire empire's transportation transit station, the transmission frequency is high and many people are transmitted, so the Royal Magic Academy has very strict management of the teleportation array square.

No outsiders are allowed to stay here for a long time. They must leave as soon as they arrive and are not allowed to stay.

Outsiders are absolutely not allowed to set up checkpoints and collect fees here, and must accept the management of the Royal Magic Academy.

Therefore, each teleportation array charges money at the city end.

Of course, in order to reduce unnecessary transaction disputes, each teleportation array will have a price tag erected at the Royal Magic Academy end. The amount of money to be paid after passing will be clearly written on it, and everyone who uses the teleportation array will accept this price by default.

The Gale Mercenary Group did not see the price tag next to the teleportation array just now, and they felt strange in their hearts, but when they saw that Lord Siye Liuxing had gone there, they had no time to think about it and hurriedly followed him.

Money or not is secondary. The most important thing is to catch up with adults.

Now that you're here, just pay.

As the leader of the group, John's first reaction when he arrived was to find the person who collected the money and pay the money for the group members who came later.

However, there was no one around.

???

Looking more closely, something seems wrong here. It doesn't look like a town. Looking at the towering walls and tall arrow towers outside, it looks more like a castle. A castle?

John looked at Leonard with shock and confusion.

Leonard smiled.

After all five members of the Gale Mercenary Group arrived, Leonard revealed the answer to the mystery after seeing their puzzled expressions.

"Welcome to the town of Fussen. This is Viscount Field's castle."

castle!

It really is a castle!

The people of the Gale Mercenary Group were shocked, and then they couldn't help but complain.

Who would build a teleportation array directly in the castle?

Isn't this opening a backdoor for the enemy?

Without any defense or identity verification, they just teleported people here directly?

Which stupid lord made this decision?

Leonard explained, "I live here, and besides me, there are four other great wizards who come here frequently, three of whom are her senior brothers. Oh, and the lord here is a student of the dean of the Royal Magic Academy, the kind who became her apprentice and inherits the skills. She herself is also a mid-level wizard."

The Gale Mercenaries swallowed the complaints that were stuck in their throats.

Sorry, it turns out they were the idiots.

This is actually a branch of the Royal Academy of Magic. With one demigod and four great wizards, their strength is even inferior to that of the Imperial Palace.

Hey, wait, Master Shino Liuxing was talking about "her"?

This lord and dean-student is a baroness?

Leonard knew what they wanted to ask as soon as he saw their eyes. He smiled and said, "The lord here is Viscountess Field."

Oh, she is indeed a baroness, and an unmarried baroness at that.

"I'll take you to the pharmacy first." Leonard turned and walked out of the castle.

The members of the Gale Mercenary Group hurried to catch up.

Leonard led them to the Bellflower Pharmacy.

"This is the pharmacy that Miss Viscount Field and I opened together. All the medicines for Old Parker are delivered from here," said Leonard.

John and the others nodded obediently, understanding that this was the adults' property and had to be protected.

But, are these wonderful potions made in adult pharmacies? They're of such high quality, yet sold so cheaply. Adults are really getting the short end of the stick.

John and the others felt sorry for their master's money.

However, the master is such a good person. He knows that mercenaries earn their money through hard work, so he sells it so cheaply. Of course, the master is from the same mercenary circle, so he will naturally take care of people in the same circle.

John and the others began to feel proud of their master again.

Leonard didn't expect that the people of the Gale Mercenary Group would think so much about his simple words and extend them. He went on to introduce them to Jerry, the manager of the pharmacy.

"This is Jerry, the manager of the drug store."

Jerry smiled at John and the others: "Hello, I'm Jerry."

Leonard told Jerry, "Jerry, they will be in charge of the delivery of my line from now on. Please arrange for them to pick up the goods."

Jerry immediately bowed and replied, "Yes, sir."

After Jerry introduced John and the others to the pharmacy's pickup process, Leonard took them to the braised food kitchen outside the town.

As soon as I walked out of the gate of Fussen Town, the familiar alluring fragrance hit my nose.

Everyone in the Gale Mercenary Group subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

After running for two hours, I was exhausted and the food I had eaten in the morning was almost digested.

"That's the braised food kitchen. You'll have to come here every day to pick up the goods." Leonard said as he led them to the braised food kitchen.

Following the same process, Leonard introduced John and his team to the kitchen manager, instructing them to temporarily deliver the goods from now on, and instructed the kitchen manager to arrange pickup numbers for them.

Leonard felt he had explained everything, so he said to John, "Alright, from now on, you'll go to the pharmacy and the braised food kitchen every day to pick up the goods and deliver them to the Double Fist Tavern. After delivering them, reconcile the accounts with Old Parker. Keep a clear record of all the accounts, and hand the account books over to..."

Leonard was about to leave it to him, but then he thought that he might not be in the Viscount's Mansion every day, so forget it, it's better to arrange someone else.

"Leave it to the Viscount's housekeeper. I'll take you to meet him."

The old butler is always in the Viscount's Mansion and is loyal to Elena. Leonard feels safe handing the account book to him.

Leonard took his men back to the Viscount's Mansion and found the old butler.

"Butler, these people will be temporarily responsible for the delivery of my line for three months. They will deliver the account books at the end of each month. Please collect them for me." Leonard said to the old butler.

The old butler saluted respectfully: "Yes, my lord."

"By the way, where did Elena go today? Why isn't she in the mansion? Didn't she have classes today?" Leonard asked the old butler. He could sense Elena's location, but he was not a mage after all. His sensing was accurate when the distance was close, but he could only vaguely locate her when the distance was far. Through sensing, he found that Elena was not in the Viscount's Mansion, nor even in the town of Fussen, but was quite far away.

The old butler replied respectfully: "The water conservancy project is about to be completed. Master Mark asked Miss to go to the site to take a look."

Oh, it turns out he went for acceptance.

Leonard plans to go find Elena.

But when he looked back at John and the others behind him, Leonard couldn't just shirk responsibility.

Leonard turned around and instructed the old butler, "Butler, please arrange for them to live. They don't have to live in the castle, they can live in the town. Also, arrange for their food. It doesn't have to be too good, just enough to fill their stomachs."

The old butler smiled and said, "Please rest assured, sir. I will make all the arrangements."

The people of the Gale Mercenary Group were flattered that Lord Siye Liuxing actually arranged their accommodation and food personally.

The Lord is truly a good man.

Leonard turned around and said to them, "Just listen to the housekeeper's instructions. I have something to go out for."

John and the others immediately performed the chivalric salute: "Yes, sir, we will follow your instructions."

"Okay." Leonard said and left.

The old butler and the members of the Gale Mercenaries watched Leonard fly away.

When they were out of sight, the old butler looked at John, who was leading the group. His smile faded, and his expression remained as serious as ever: "Please follow me."

"Thank you." John and his companions hurried to catch up.

Above the river, Elena and Mage Mark were flying along the river.

Leonard had warned Elena before not to interfere too much with her subordinates' work, so as not to distract them. So Elena had been staying in the Viscount's Mansion and attending classes obediently these past few days. She had neither come to check on the insect infestation nor the progress of the water conservancy project.

Today, Master Mark came to tell her that the water conservancy project was about to be completed, so she came to take a look and, by the way, to check on the situation in the five villages that had been hit by insect infestations.

The great orb finches are indeed good helpers in killing the beetles. According to the five village chiefs, the beetles were almost eaten up on the fourth day after the great orb finches arrived. From the fifth day onwards, the great orb finches were fed a small amount of food and they came to settle down.

Today is the 6th day. The big finches are really smart. They still remember Elena. As soon as she appeared, the big finches came over and chattered to her.

Of course, Elena couldn't understand bird language, but she knew how to cater to the bird's preferences. She took out handfuls of wheat grains from her space ring and fed them to the bird, and the bird's chirping became even more pleasant.

What a clever little ghost.

After inspecting the insect plague in five villages and the water diversion canal project in the territory, Elena was very satisfied with the quality and speed of the earth mage's work.

Now, under the guidance of Master Mark, she went to another area to inspect the project, which was the part where Elena had mentioned the construction of a reservoir.

"The reservoir is right there. It's currently in the water storage stage. Once it's full, we'll observe it for a day. If there's no leakage or seepage, then the project can be completed." Master Mark said, pointing to the reservoir below.

Elena and Master Mark slowly descended and landed on the flat ground next to the reservoir.

The reservoir is now going to be inspected and accepted, but how should the inspection and acceptance of the reservoir be viewed?

Elena didn't know how to look at it. She had never studied civil engineering. When she built roads and canals before, she could judge the quality from the surface. But for a reservoir, half of it was hidden under the water, and the other half was buried underground. Only a small part of the entire project was exposed on the ground, so she really didn't know how to look at it.

However, Elena believed in Master Mark's reputation, not to mention that Leonard was behind her. It was impossible for Master Mark to fool her at the risk of offending Leonard.

Elena took a quick look around and nodded, saying, "Very good, well built."

Master Mark's expression was noticeably more relaxed. He smiled and said, "Your satisfaction, Miss Viscount, is what we strive for."

"Very good, very satisfied." Elena smiled. "By the way, I'd like to ask, besides my territory, have any other territories reported insect infestations?"

Speaking of this, Master Mark's expression turned serious. "Yes, there are news of beetle plagues in three other territories. It seems that many people will have a hard time this year."

Elena raised her eyebrows. In addition to her territory, there were three other territories. The scale of this insect plague was much larger than she had expected.

"I hope we can control the insect plague as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the plague gets serious, the beetles from other territories will also fly towards me." Elena said.

The wizard nodded. "Yes, if the insect plague gets serious, these insects will be overwhelming, and all the territories will suffer."

As he was speaking, a figure suddenly appeared.

"Elena." Leonard stood beside Elena.
