"Hmm?"
A middle-aged man who was dozing lazily behind the counter suddenly felt that the light and candlelight in front of him were blocked by a huge monster. He opened his eyes and saw a big guy wearing heavy armor, with gorgeous patterns and various witchcraft runes carved on his body, and a three-headed golden dragon symbol on his chest standing in front of him.
The middle-aged man was subconsciously startled and was about to circulate the magic power in his body to cast witchcraft when he noticed the three-headed evil dragon mark on the chest of this giant monster.
This is, this is the three-headed golden dragon mark of Wizard Taylor.
The left hand that had just been raised was slowly lowered again, and an exaggerated expression of surprise and joy blossomed on the middle-aged man's face.
For low-level personnel like them who have entered the basic system of the White Tower Alliance, they have to be familiar with and memorize the mark of every wizard who joins the internal system of the White Tower Alliance.
They may not recognize some of the nominal white wizards, but for the wizards in the White Tower Alliance's internal system, they can perfectly draw the marks or symbols of these wizards backwards even with their eyes closed.
"May I ask if you are a subordinate of the newly joined Wizard Taylor?"
The middle-aged man had a flattering smile on his face. He basically had no future and would not become a noble wizard, so he sold himself to the White Tower Alliance and became a small cog in the basic operating structure.
He had to show all his courtesy and respect to his subordinate, a talented second-level wizard.
"Um."
Hawks nodded with one hand on his chainsaw sword, looked down at the cautious middle-aged man and asked.
"Are there any special talents among the new generation of wizard apprentices?"
A special talent among wizard apprentices? Could it be that the wizard who had just joined the White Tower Alliance had not yet recruited an apprentice?
The middle-aged man's mind was full of thoughts, but he still had a humble smile on his face. He had no qualifications and no position to say anything more about such an important matter.
He nodded honestly, then took out from the counter below the counter the materials he had made that recorded the various apprentices' situations, qualifications, daily performance, and personalities.
Hawkes reached out and took the material, placing it directly in the palm of his hand, and carefully flipped through the pages. The book was slightly larger than his finger, and he was afraid that if he exerted a little force, the book would break into pieces.
The middle-aged man stood quietly aside, without making a sound or saying a word, trying his best to conceal his presence. For a man like him, as long as he didn't provoke the other party, everything would be fine, let alone thinking about trying to please others.
The value he represents and the value he can create have reached the limit in this position. Even if the wizard intends to promote him, the final results will only be taken away by others in various ways. The best policy is to stay where you are.
Hawkes carefully picked up the materials page by page, looking at the faces of the various children, as well as the recorded information about their personalities, qualifications, meditation methods, speed of entry, and other related information.
While searching, Hawks paid close attention to all kinds of abnormal qualifications that might appear. In Hawks' mind, a young wizard as powerful as his master, with bloodline and a bright future, could only be worthy of inheriting some knowledge and skills if he possessed special alien qualifications.
Time passed slowly, and soon Hawkes had completely read the thin booklet, recording the information of more than 300 new wizard apprentices in his mind.
His aptitude is very good, and he is now close to being a second-level wizard apprentice, but his future path has nothing to do with Taylor's, let alone learning some of Taylor's knowledge.
"Bring all the information about the wizard apprentices in the west and the wizard apprentices in the south and north."
I must find the most suitable apprentice for my master. If I can't find one here, I'll have to pick the tallest one from the short ones.
At Hawks's command, the middle-aged man who was trying hard to conceal his presence nodded repeatedly, continued to put on a flattering smile, and took out another three books from the cabinet below.
What a troublesome and fussy guy. Could he be a puppet servant of the wizards? Only these metal-headed people would be so fussy.
The middle-aged man sighed in his heart, then hid aside obediently.
Hawkes continued to pick up the booklet and flipped through it. After taking into account the 1,100 new wizard apprentices, including those who were sent abroad and other apprentices with special circumstances, he finally decided on three candidates.
The first candidate is a second-level wizard apprentice who has already created three elemental puppets and is feared by many wizard apprentices. He has a calm temperament, a simple mind and is very fond of puppet construction.
The second candidate is a girl with some elven blood. Based on the introductory witchcraft chosen by this girl and the type of witchcraft she chose later, it can be judged that this girl has a very good perception of each element.
The third candidate was a boy with some elven blood. He was a brother of the girl and had similar qualifications to the girl. However, what surprised Hawkes a little was that the boy had a keen sense of space and could even use his mental power to expand a small area of space.
"These three apprentices are very good, each with their own strengths and characteristics. I will report them to my master. You will be responsible for further monitoring their recent movements and not letting other wizards get ahead of them."
Hawkes tore off all the pages related to the three apprentices from the books that recorded the apprentice information, and slapped them in front of the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and nodded repeatedly in agreement, not saying anything else.
Miaozi is a good candidate. Since Lord Taylor is interested in taking him as an apprentice, it might be worth considering it.
Many wizards have to conduct their own studies and research. Basically, according to the regulations of the White Tower Alliance, they can only recruit one apprentice in their lifetime. Every year, the White Tower Alliance recruits 5,000 to 6,000 apprentices from all directions. Just from their island, the number is small, which is considered small for his area.
The top talents have actually been picked up. These three can only be considered as the first tier but not the top. In other words, Wizard Taylor came a little late, otherwise the two dragon vein wizard apprentices and angel bloodline apprentices who were selected last week might have been accepted by Wizard Taylor.
After all, Wizard Taylor is a second-level bloodline wizard.
When many wizards need to select apprentices, they will take away the best apprentices in the new batch in advance. Many apprentices have already moved into the wizard tower before they even move into the dormitory.
The same thing happened to Taylor's batch back then, except that for special reasons the Cretan wizard decided to recruit apprentices in a different way.
If I had arrived a little later and there happened to be a newly promoted first-level wizard who needed to recruit apprentices, I'm afraid even these three might not be available.
Why did Wizard Taylor start looking for apprentices only after he became a Level 2 wizard? (End of this chapter)
