Chapter 91 039: Recruitment and Testing
After passing through the long owl corridor and turning two moving stairs, Cat Ears finally brought Luo Xi to a mural.
The mural depicts a garden with singing birds, fragrant flowers and lush green lawns. In the center of the garden stands a round stone table. A young woman with an extraordinary appearance is sitting at the table, reading a book. Beside her is a minotaur in a formal dress holding a plate.
Cat Ears led Luo Xi through the mural and came to the garden.
Catwoman stopped in front of the round table. At the same time, the minotaur next to her stepped forward and said to Luo Xi in a powerful tone: "The one in front of you is the Thunder Witch, the Queen of the White Castle, the successor to the Golden Secret Realm, the owner of the Emerald Land, the youngest witch in the South Coast Witch Domain, and the purest successor to Best's bloodline, Iris Best."
Luo Xi twitched his lips: "."
The minotaur seemed quite dissatisfied with his reaction. He blew out two puffs of air from his nostrils and scolded, "Apprentice, watch your words and actions! Show some respect!"
What does it mean to be respectful?
Luo Xi looked puzzled: "Could you please give me an autograph?"
The minotaur's expression froze.
"Okay, Amir." Fortunately, the woman spoke at this time. Her voice was cold and had a majestic temperament.
She put down the book and looked up, and only then was Luo Xi able to see her full appearance.
This was a graceful woman, about 20 years old, with a standard oval face, a high nose bridge, and slender eyebrows adorned with thick eyelashes. She was wearing a black dress and exuded a noble temperament, like a queen.
Ever since he was with a stunning beauty like Nicole, there were very few women who could attract him in terms of appearance, but at this moment, Luo Xi still stared at this woman in a daze for a while.
The woman seemed accustomed to such a reaction. She did not blame Luo Xi for her offense. She looked at Luo Xi generously for a while, and then said, "Iris Best, nice to meet you."
“Ouch!”
Luo Xi then came back to his senses: "Luo Xi Herat, nice to meet you."
Iris immediately got straight to the point and said, "I am from the Best Family. Let's be frank about why we came here today. My Best Family admires your outstanding performance in the Elemental Castle and sincerely invites you to join our family."
After saying that, she snapped her fingers with her right hand. With a bang, a cloud of smoke burst out from her fingertips. When the smoke cleared, there was a sheepskin scroll in her hand.
Iris handed the scroll to Luo Xi: "This is our contract, Your Excellency, please take a look. If there is no problem, we can sign it."
This olive branch from one of the top five families in the South Coast Alliance would have made other apprentices almost faint with excitement by now. They would rush to grab the pen to sign their names, fearing that others would change their minds if they were a little slow.
However, Luo Xi seemed very calm. He took the scroll and read it carefully without any expression.
Since Elzerin, a number of wizard families have extended olive branches to him one after another. Although none of them have reached the level of the Best family, some of them have offered good prices. There is no need for Luo Xi to rush.
Tsk tsk, is this the top wizard force? It is indeed a bit unusual. The conditions on the scroll are generous. The basic magic stones each month are as much as 5,000. In addition, there are also cultivation resource allocations for the corresponding stage. It is definitely the most generous olive branch that Luo Xi has seen so far.
However, Luo Xi's eyes fell on the clause at the bottom, and he asked in confusion: "Accept the marriage? Does that mean that if I join your family, I must marry into your family?"
Iris nodded: "Not bad."
After saying that, she didn't ask for Luo Xi's opinion. She raised her right hand and waved it lightly towards the table in front of her. Dozens of cards immediately appeared on the table, and each card had a moving character image on it.
Iris said: "These are all young girls in my Best family who are currently unengaged. Pick one."
Young girl?
Luo Xi began to wonder if the woman in front of him was blind. Has she really seen it herself? Look at this, at least two or three hundred pounds, at first glance Luo Xi almost thought the meat ball had become a spirit, and it took a lot of effort to find her facial features in the flesh.
And what's going on with this? My hair has turned grey, for God's sake.
Looking all the way, Luo Xi didn't see a normal girl of the right age at all. He even suspected that the other party was deliberately teasing him.
In fact, his suspicion was correct. Iris did have some intentional intention.
The Best family usually recruits talents from wizard-level wizards and above, and rarely recruits at the apprentice stage. The few examples that have been given all have extremely dazzling and eye-catching achievements, and real talent can indeed be seen.
As for the apprentice in front of him, Iris really couldn't see anything special about him. His grades were okay, but just okay. He usually ranked below top five. The only bright spot seemed to be his recent breakthrough and entry into the advanced apprenticeship with the first place in the same period.
Good luck cannot always favor the same person. According to his past performance, if there is no adventure, it will take at least 5 to 8 years for him to be promoted to a wizard.
This level of skill would certainly be enough for an ordinary wizard family, but this is Best, the top wizard family on the South Coast.
If it weren't for a mentor in the family, Witch Catherine, who strongly recommended it to the family, such a level of skill would not even appear on her table.
If one's own conditions are not good enough, then think about making up for it in other ways! Therefore, at this time, she would pull out the witches in these families whose appearance and temperament were not very beautiful, and do a simple obedience test. If he could put aside his self-esteem and accept the marriage, then he would be given a chance to join the family.
It’s a pity that Luo Xi didn’t pass this obedience test.
After he glanced at the cards, he immediately shook his head, handed the scroll back decisively, and said tactfully: "I'm sorry, I have no plans to join a wizard family yet. I want to be free for a while."
Oh.
The result was not surprising. After all, males were visual creatures, and wizards were no exception.
However, there was a hint of contempt in Iris's eyes.
After all, in her opinion, this guy who thinks purely with his lower body and can't even distinguish his own future and desires is simply a complete idiot. He will basically have no value in the future and will be a waste even if he is brought into the family.
She nodded and said, "I respect your decision."
After a pause, she added a few more polite words: "Of course, the prices I'm offering you now only correspond to your current value. If you can demonstrate higher value in the future, we can continue to discuss, such as if you can perform well in the upcoming magic combat training course."
Luo Xi was stunned: "Magic training?"
