Chapter 74: The Country Bitch of St. Lawrence (Part 2)
Chapter 74: The Country Bitch of St. Lawrence (Part 2) Bruno received the news of the arrival of the wizard apprentices early in the morning.
"How many people are here?" he asked excitedly. He had been looking forward to seeing these mages coming from afar for a long time.
Although the mage apprentice who is willing to travel through mountains and rivers to come to Idar Territory will definitely not be a famous mage with a great reputation, he must be a guy with perseverance and persistence.
These wizard apprentices may not be welcomed or have good talents, but that doesn't matter. Bruenor doesn't need them to chant spells on the battlefield.
What Bruno needed was for them to conduct research with Arnel, to design and develop new enchanted weapons, to try to popularize and standardize the application of magic circles, and to use the power of magic to drive Idar to a new revolution.
This is Bruno's purpose!
"There are nine people in total, including a wizard and eight wizard apprentices." Lister replied.
The camp of the Fourth Production Team is the only way to the city of Idar. Officials from the Idar Immigration Administration have been stationed in the camp these days.
Therefore, when Sibel entered the camp to ask for bread, the news that a group of guys claiming to be from the imperial capital Saint Lawrence had entered Idar Territory had already been spread.
"Where are they now?"
"We are on our way to Idar City. We will probably be able to enter the city at noon today..." Lister replied.
"You go and talk to Anel, and then take these mages directly to him," Bruno instructed.
"Yes, sir."
Such a useful group of tools... er, no, they are mages and mage apprentices. Of course, Arnel should take them away and put them to work directly! As for Idar City, we can let these mages who came from afar visit it later. Anyway, Idar is now under construction everywhere, and there is nothing to see!
Therefore, Bruno felt very comfortable with this arrangement.
In fact, Bruno had already drawn up the salaries for these mage apprentices, and was just waiting to implement them after they arrived!
Working six days a week, from 9am to 9pm, overtime pay is extra! Bruno thinks this kind of salary and work arrangement is quite humane. After all... 996 is a blessing!
After waiting for so long, this group of slow-moving mages finally arrived. It would be impossible for me to say that I wasn't excited.
Because the design of enchanted weapons is definitely not something that Anel can complete alone.
One more wizard means one more help and one more angle to think about the problem. The same goes for the saying that there is strength in numbers.
With the addition of these mages and mage apprentices, the total number of mages and mage apprentices in Idar County will break through double digits for the first time, reaching a scale of ten!
If this had happened in the past, it would have been unthinkable. You know, this is not a simple addition operation!
…
Arnel's current workplace is not in Idarcheng.
Therefore, before Light, Sibel and his party approached the city of Idar, they were politely taken away by Idar's soldiers.
In order to ensure the privacy and security of the enchanted weapon research, Anel moved out of the city of Idar some time ago, and with the help of the guards sent by Bruno, he built a row of temporary residences in the Almis Mountains.
These houses built on the hillside are very similar to the mountain villas in the previous life. Although they do not look as majestic as buildings like castles, they are actually much more comfortable to live in.
Moreover, although these residences look a bit old and inconspicuous on the outside, the interiors are small but fully equipped with all the necessary facilities.
Bruno even transferred the cook with a bucket waist and strong arms in the lord's kitchen to be with Anel, which really made Bruno sad for a long time.
Of course, more importantly, not far from these mountain villas is the magic crystal vein of the Almis Mountains!
Arnel had been coveting these magic crystals for a long time! The importance of magic crystals to mages is self-evident. Not only can it be used as a container to store free magic elements, but it can also provide great convenience for mages to cast spells. Therefore, mages often inlay blocks of magic crystals on their staffs.
As for Arnel, as Bruno's initial ideas and assumptions about magic were gradually verified or adjusted, magic crystals also became an important tool for Arnel to draw magic circles and conduct various enchanted weapon experiments!
"Arnel!"
From a distance, Wright saw Arnel standing on the hillside to greet him and his group.
"Wright! Long time no see!" Arnel also responded.
It has been more than half a year since Arnell and Wright and the others parted in St. Lawrence, so it has been a long time since they last saw each other.
"We rushed here as soon as we received your letter!" Wright said, "Oh! By the way, this is Sibel. We met him on the way to Idar Territory. Sibel is already a real wizard!"
"You can call me Anel!" Anel nodded and said.
"Arnel, is this... the residence of the great wizard?" Watson looked around and asked.
"Yes... but also no... In short, although we are friends, there are still some agreements that need to be signed before I introduce all this to you..." Arnel said with a smile.
With a wave of his hand, Anel's personal soldier brought over rolls of confidentiality agreements and employment agreements with Lord Idar that had been prepared in advance.
Although the agreement itself does not have the ability to supervise the execution of agreements or contracts, it should be understood that in this world, mages exist to serve the nobility.
Therefore, any employment agreement or other contract signed between nobles and mages can be reported to the Mages Guild, and once a mage violates the terms of the contract, he will be sanctioned by the Mages Guild.
It is precisely for this reason that any wizard who wants to continue to survive in the Norman Empire will generally not violate the agreement they signed with the nobles.
"This is……"
"A confidentiality agreement and a letter of appointment hiring you as members of Idar's mage team," Anel replied.
"So serious?" Watson asked.
"Of course. When you know what you will learn in the Idar Commandery, you will understand why I stay here..." Anel said seriously.
Almost all the people present just glanced at it briefly before signing their names on the agreement.
"Don't you want to take a closer look?" Arnel asked.
"No need... I can't wait to see what you will show us..."
