Chapter 22 The Necessity of Having Specialties
Thor successfully got the job of being in charge of the third process in the morgue, but the price was that the maid lost her throat.
Thor also received a leather robe from Kaz.
It is a bit stuffy to wear, but you don't have to be careful about splattered blood and flesh all the time, and it is very easy to clean.
Kaz asked Saul to work in the morgue between three and seven every day, but nothing here could be taken out, including the bodies.
Thor no longer had to go to the laboratory, where he could do nothing and learn nothing.
If he submitted more materials, he would get extra rewards - Katz believed that Saul's ability exceeded the 3-credit compensation, so he added dividends to the fixed salary to encourage Saul to work hard.
This is already a very high salary for a first-level apprentice.
Normally, a new apprentice is considered a formal first-level apprentice only after he has mastered all the basic knowledge.
In addition to getting a few credits by passing monthly tests, apprentices need to earn more credits by doing the work assigned by their mentors.
Although the Gorza Wizard Tower is tall, the work suitable for apprentices inside is limited.
For safer jobs, the credits per month are usually 1-3, while for more dangerous jobs, the credits may be 4-7.
Especially for 7-credit jobs, it means that even a senior first-level apprentice may die.
Without some means to save their lives, ordinary people would not dare to accept it.
Thor's job is not without danger.
According to Mr. Kaz, a corpse was sent to Thor and had gone through two rounds of screening.
In charge of the most dangerous first round is a second-level apprentice who will do his best to eliminate the danger on the corpse.
The person in charge of the second round was a senior first-level apprentice who had mastered the basic knowledge of wizards and knew several 0-level wizardry. He was able to protect himself and filter most of the useful materials on the corpse.
And Thor got the third round of work thanks to his unexpected ability to pick up corpses and good luck.
Although the third round is less dangerous, the profit is also less. However, if you can be as efficient as today every time, it is not impossible to get 6 credits in a month.
This is the importance of specialties.
Mentor Kaz also didn't understand. Thor's perception of dark elements was obviously not strong, not even up to standard, so why was he so sensitive to abnormalities on dead people?
He could only attribute it to the fact that Thor was naturally more sensitive to spirits.
They have low perception of dark elements but are sensitive to spirits. In other words, they are prone to seeing ghosts.
Thor didn't understand why he could see all kinds of visions through meditation, but it didn't matter, it didn't prevent him from using it.
If you have time, you can discuss with Keli. Do different meditation pictures bring different effects? Are there also different meditation speeds?
As a newcomer, I still have to explore everything, and the mentors and seniors leading the way are obviously unwilling to provide free knowledge.
With the guidance of Mentor Kaz, Thor completed the first day's work smoothly and became familiar with the general layout of the morgue on the third floor.
Kaz, who successfully found the third worker, was in high spirits and gave Thor some guidance.
He found that Thor's spiritual talent was indeed excellent. He was fast and accurate in learning runes and could easily immerse himself in meditation.
Even Thor showed a good talent for language learning when he learned Noah's language.
With this ability, you can excel in any ordinary profession.
But as a wizard, without magical talent, he is like a weapon that cannot kill people. He can only become a plaything, driven and used by others.
Unless he has some fortuitous encounter or waits for an opportunity to transform his witch body.
However, even the mortality rate of the wizard body transformation is very high for second-level apprentices. What are the chances for a first-level apprentice to succeed?
There is little hope, almost no hope at all.
Katz's interest in teaching came and went quickly.
Soon, he left Thor alone in the morgue and warned him to leave the second floor of the East Tower before eight o'clock in the evening, and it was best not to stay in the East Tower at all.
Thor respectfully saw his mentor off, closed the door, and turned around to the conveyor belt.
He had a mental struggle for a while.
Now he was the only one here, and it took a lot of courage to pull down the wrench and greet the corpse.
Thor kept his hand on the wrench for about a minute before he suddenly pulled it off.
The conveyor belt rumbled, but after a long time no new bodies appeared.
Thor felt strange and pulled it again.
Still nothing.
Just when Thor was feeling anxious and wanted to pull the trigger for the third time.
A man's voice came from the black tasseled exit.
"Don't pull it, there's no more today."
"knew."
"Watch the light in the window. If it turns white, it means we have stock."
"Uh, thank you, Senior."
There was indeed a small candle lamp on the black tasseled exit, and its appearance was no different from the others around the wall.
But while all the candlesticks were now emitting bright white light, this candle lamp was dim and weak, and was almost about to go out.
Mentor Kaz did not tell Thor this, probably because he was not responsible for the specific work here, so there were some omissions in the procedures.
Without a job, Thor didn't want to stay here any longer and left in a hurry.
When he left, the big man at the end of the corridor was still sitting there like a dead man.
But Thor noticed that his nostrils twitched.
It's alive.
The second day of being an apprentice went by smoothly. It was much more comfortable than the first day.
The next day in class, Saul found Keli.
"Now I have ten magic crystals."
“Pay back the money.”
Keli extended her left hand.
"Do you want one credit or ten magic crystals?"
Keli immediately looked over with wide eyes, "You got the job?"
Thor nodded.
"I also heard from my mentor yesterday that in addition to passing the test and getting credits, apprentices can also take up certain positions in the wizard tower and get credits." She held her chin, "But my mentor didn't let me look for a job, he only let me study. I don't even have a single credit now."
You are not allowed to work because you can pass the test smoothly without working.
Thor felt a little bitter, but he quickly suppressed the slight discomfort.
"So do you want credits or magic crystals?"
"Of course it's credits." Keli wanted to pounce on him, "Damn it, I've never seen what credits look like."
Credits are not money that you can hold in your hand, so they cannot be traded face to face in class.
They need to go to the registration office next to the library on the ninth floor of the East Tower to transfer the credits to Keli.
They quickly turned their attention back to their studies.
In the second meditation class, Monica did not show up, but was replaced by a female second-level apprentice. She taught a little new knowledge and then began to meditate on her own at the podium.
All the apprentices who came forward with magic crystals to ask questions were glared back by her with cold eyes.
So the rest of the class time turned into self-study class.
With no one to teach them, some apprentices began to huddle together and discuss with each other, and the classroom gradually became noisy.
Kelly still sat next to Thor.
Thor looked at the picture of the walking monster in his book, and his heart moved, remembering the question from yesterday.
"Keli, which picture do you use for meditation?"
"The secret flower on the third page."
"Are you able to meditate independently without the crystal ball now?"
"Of course not. The instructor said that if you can meditate independently, your mental strength will basically reach the level of a second-level apprentice." Keli was a little surprised. "You can already meditate independently?"
Thor shook his head. "I can only enter a confused state similar to half asleep and half awake. I can't absorb elemental particles, but I can stabilize my mental state."
"Amazing." Keli gave a thumbs up without hesitation. "If I meditate without the crystal ball, I can only see a mess of lines."
She leaned over and asked, "Which meditation picture are you using? Does the progress of meditation have anything to do with the meditation picture?"
"The picture of the strange man walking on page 17."
"..." Keli looked over in confusion, turned back to flip through her own book, and then turned back, "Are our books different? Why don't I have this page?"
