Chapter 509: Entering the City Lord's Mansion Again
At the gate of the towering city lord's mansion, compared with other bustling streets in the Holy City of Heka, this place seems much quieter and more spacious.
Many passers-by who passed by here moved far away to the other end, and their steps became hurried, for fear that their lives would be in danger if they stayed for a moment longer.
At this time, Gervis came to the City Lord's Mansion wearing a brown linen gown, which was particularly eye-catching.
The underwear he had just put on belonged to a servant in the City Lord's Mansion, so he naturally didn't dare to wear it in the City Lord's Mansion.
So Gerves picked up a linen gown on the road. Although it was a little worn out, the owner had washed it and hung it outside to dry. Gerves didn't mind it. Before he took it away, he left the owner his only five copper coins.
As soon as Gervis approached the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, several guards on duty looked at him with unfriendly eyes.
"What are you doing? This is the City Lord's Mansion, outsiders please leave quickly!"
One of the guards shouted at Gervis when he saw him approaching in his ragged linen gown.
"I'm a magician!"
clang!
As soon as Gervis finished speaking, several guards were startled and immediately drew the long swords at their waists, because no matter how they looked at it, Gervis did not look like a licensed magician, but more likely a wild magician.
"Butler Bag posted a recruitment notice for magicians in the Mercenary Union, so I came here!"
Gervis didn't know that unlicensed magicians on this continent were collectively called wild magicians, and that they would be sent to jail. Seeing that the guards were nervous, he quickly told them his purpose.
"Put away your sword!"
At this moment, a guard who looked like a captain walked out of the city gate and asked the guards to put away their swords.
The ordinary guards didn't know that Butler Bag was recruiting magicians, but he, the captain, had received instructions, so when he heard that Gervis was a magician, he immediately came out.
"Sir, you really are a magician!"
The captain came up to Gervis and looked at him for a long time. Seeing the tattered linen robe on Gervis, he felt a little skeptical.
Even a wild mage wouldn't live so poorly.
In fact, most wild mages are quite rich, because without money how can one learn to read, and without money how can one have time to study and research magic.
Just buying magic books on the black market costs a lot of money, which ordinary people simply cannot afford.
"Yes!"
Gervis looked at the captain fearlessly and nodded.
"Okay, then please come in and sit down. I'll go and inform Butler Bag right now!"
The captain of the guard knew that Master Laci was anxious to recruit magicians these days, so after confirming that Gervis was not here to cause trouble, he quickly invited Gervis in and then went to report to Butler Bagg.
…
Bang!
"That bastard Deweir thinks he's so great with three apprentice magicians? If he wasn't such a mean guy and used his father's connections, I could have recruited even junior magicians! Bastard, scumbag!"
At this time, Lach was furious again in his own manor. Early this morning, he ran to the reception area to show his courtesy to Adela.
Everything was normal at first, but when Deweir and the other two arrived, they shifted the topic to the Sunset Forest. Deweir and the others vowed that the subordinates they brought with them could definitely guarantee the success of this treasure hunt.
After making the promise, a few people began to bully Laci again.
As the second young master of the Holy City of Heka, Laci has no shortage of titled knights, but he lacks magicians. Because when he shamelessly requested to join, he patted his chest and said that he would definitely recruit a few more magicians to escort him.
But now there are less than two days left until the departure date, and he has not even recruited an apprentice magician, let alone a junior magician.
Deweir and his companions began to instigate Adela, saying that they should not let Lachi go. After all, there might be danger there, and without the protection of a magician, Lachi might be a burden.
Although it was rejected by Adela in the end, although Adela did not listen to the instigation of Deville and others, Lucky was still very angry.
"Bag, I asked you to change the recruitment reward last night. Did you do it?"
It was almost noon, but there was still no sign of the magician. Lachi was very anxious.
"Master, I have already sent people to change positions this morning. I have also sent people to post recruitment information for the Mercenary Guild and the Knight Guild!"
A few days ago, the recruitment information was only posted on the Magicians' Guild, but now they have decided that even wild mages are welcome, so they are naturally casting a wide net.
"Tell the guards at the city gate to keep an eye on it. If anyone comes to answer the call, notify me immediately!"
When he heard that the recruitment notice had been posted to the Mercenary Union, Laci's expression eased a little.
"Yes, Master!"
Bagg quickly responded.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Master, Butler Bagg!"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the hall. Bag frowned. If someone knocked on the door at this time, it would be bad if it angered Lachi.
As a butler, he knew best that his young master was a typical wealthy young master with a strange temper and was difficult to approach.
"What's up?"
Bag quickly walked to the door and whispered to the servant who knocked on the door.
"Master Steward, a captain of the guards came to report that there is a young man who claims to be a magician at the city gate to answer the call!"
"Oh! Then ask him to bring the person over here!"
Butler Bagg's eyes lit up. If no more magicians came, Master Lachi would probably tear down the entire manor.
"Butler Bagg, the captain said that the magician is very likely a wild magician!"
The servant added.
"It's okay, let him bring the person over immediately!"
Bag didn't care whether this man was wild or not. He just hoped that this man was really a magician who could cast magic.
If you just come here to fish in troubled waters, then the end will probably be miserable.
After the servant went out to inform the captain, Bag quickly returned to Lach's side and told Lach with a smile that the magician had come to respond to the call.
…
"Mr. Magician, please follow me now. Butler Bag asked me to take you there!"
The captain of the guards came back from Laci's manor. Knowing that this young man might be valued by Master Laci, his tone became much more polite than before.
"Okay! Thank you!"
Gervis nodded and followed the captain of the guards into the city lord's mansion.
Although I passed by here last night, the City Lord's Mansion seemed even more magnificent during the day. Every building and every garden reflected the ingenuity of the craftsmanship.
"When I return to Eurasia, I will build a palace like this!"
Gervis couldn't help but feel envious. This environment was much more comfortable to live in than a castle.
Soon, the captain of the guard brought Gervis to the manor belonging to Lach.
The manor covers a very large area. Gervis estimates that it is no less than the size of ten football fields.
However, Gervis's focus at this time was not on the magnificent manor, but on a big tree in the distance. At this time, Gervis saw the glowing tree last night again.
According to Gervis's estimation, the tree was at least a hundred meters high, and its branches were dense. Under the sunlight, it still emitted a faint green light, and it was more conspicuous than at night.
“That’s awesome!”
Gervis murmured in his heart.
Gervis found plants that glow at night acceptable. After all, not to mention that this was a different world, there were also such plants on Earth in his previous life.
For example, China's "lantern trees" and firefly mushrooms can glow at night.
But the big tree in the distance can glow even during the day, and it is even more obvious than at night, which is a bit shocking.
In addition, Gervis could see dots of green light rising among the branches and leaves of the big tree.
"Spiritual fluid?"
The more Gervis looked at the green light, the more familiar it seemed to him. Suddenly, he remembered the bottle of spiritual essence he owned that could help the Silver Knight break through and become the Gold Knight.
“Haha! Your Excellency, isn’t it magnificent? Although the sacred tree of our Holy City of Heka cannot be compared with those of the big cities in the Sky City, it can still be ranked in the middle of the Holy Alliance!”
The captain of the guard saw Gervis looking at the sacred tree in the distance with astonishment, and said to him with pride.
After saying that, the captain of the guards saw Butler Bag waiting in front, so he urged Gervis in a low voice.
"Mr. Magician, don't look at it yet. Butler Bagg is waiting for us! Let's go over there quickly!"
Gervis was still pondering his words. According to the captain of the guard's words, every holy city in the Holy Alliance had such a strange tree.
After hearing his reminder, Gervis put his thoughts aside and followed him, walking quickly forward.
