The fourth-level rune master Jenny Pero from the capital was staying in her room, sorting out her few luggage items.

Most of them are tools used to draw runes or describe magic circles, such as corrosion-resistant smear sticks, fine gold powdered carving knives, wedge-shaped scrapers and various types of pens. In addition, they have been carefully collected over the years. books and notes.

That's all she was allowed to take with her when she left her mentor's mage tower, and she even only had two changes of clothes.

But Jenny Perrault was still tidying them up carefully, and then put these meager personal items on the desk, cupboard, and bedside shelf, and when she was done she sat down in the chair in the center of the room, Quietly looked around at this wooden hut that could be described as shabby.

As the highest-ranking professional in the 100-person team, she received extra attention: a separate house. Although this is just a simple wooden house, which is completely incomparable with the master's mage tower, Jenny knows that this is one of the few good houses in this camp. This time there are only formal craftsmen and another mage in the team. Only the husband is qualified to live in an independent house, and her house is the largest of all houses, which has made her extremely satisfied.

After all, even if she lived in her mentor's mage tower, she just slept on the floor in the utility room. Except that the walls around her were made of stone, that place was really no better than this place.

No, it's better here, at least this wooden house is her own, and she doesn't have to worry about being called by her mentor to test potions and magic circles.

Jenny looked at everything in front of her quietly, then looked down at her hands, thinking about the days to come.

She is very aware of her awkward position. She is the highest-ranking professional in the team, but in fact her real extraordinary level is only a mage apprentice. The rune master is a kind of handicraft, except for the ability to cast spells and sense magic power. , there is no essential difference from those carpenters and masons. In fact, according to the habits of mages, the second-level arcanist in the team should be the person with the highest status, so it is obvious that she, a middle-level professional, is just making up the number. of.

At the same time, she also knew very well that the legendary duke seven hundred years ago could see this at a glance.

How long can this situation last for such an embarrassed person, who has to be received seriously according to the rules and provided with an independent residence?

Probably until the duke thinks that he has given enough face to the king, or until any person in the domain disputes the matter.

And by that time,

The only thing that can make her guarantee a foothold on this land is the craftsmanship she has.

After all, this is a camp that is under construction. It has a lot of things to build. Whether it is to make magic tools or process runes, it requires manpower, and Mrs. Hetty can't do everything herself. Earth, if you do it well enough, maybe you can get the lady's approval - Jenny doesn't dare to expect too much, and she is satisfied to have a foothold in this place.

At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly came, interrupting Jenny's thinking.

She looked at the direction of the door with some surprise and nervousness, guessing who would come looking for her at this time, but she did not stop because of this, but immediately got up and opened the door: no matter who is outside the door, it is best to Don't be offended.

The door opened, and the person standing at the door made her breathe half a beat.

A tall figure with short brown hair and deep eyes is the owner of this land, the Duke Gawain Cecil who was resurrected from seven hundred years ago. Beside this tall figure, It was an elegant and beautiful lady Heidi in a long red dress.

The lord and the general manager came in person, which made Jenny at a loss for a while. She couldn't help but think of her crazy thoughts just now, and was greatly worried: Does this lord feel that this treatment is too good for him now? ?

While Jenny was slightly stunned, Gawain was looking at the girl in front of him, and couldn't help but take a second glance: This rune master from the capital looked to be under twenty years old, tall but thin. There is a feeling of sickness. She has long silver-white hair, but the long hair is dry and messy due to neglect. The hair hangs down on her cheek from both sides, on the left side of her cheek, Where the hair couldn't cover it, there were huge ugly scars—the scars were the reason Gawain couldn't help but take a second look.

They have completely affected the girl's originally pretty appearance. Not only did they cover the left third of her face, but they also spread all the way down her neck. Due to the cover of her clothes, Gawain didn't know that this piece seemed to be burned. Exactly how big the same scar was, but he guessed it must have come from some pretty horrific accident.

Soon, he realized that it was inappropriate to stare at a young girl like this, so he withdrew his gaze: "Why, don't you invite us in?"

Jenny seemed to wake up with a start. She stepped aside a little at a loss, and whispered nervously and cautiously: "Duke... Your Excellency, come in person... Do you have any orders to come in person?"

"Just come and have a look," Gawain took Hetty into the wooden house, and took a casual look: the house is not big, the bedroom and living room are completely connected, and you can see what furnishings are in it at a glance, he Seeing that this place is basically the simple furniture made by the carpenters in the territory, and there are not many traces of personal belongings at all, I can judge that this Jenny Perrault is living a good life in the capital as she guessed. Depressed, "How is it? I've been in the camp for two days. Are you still satisfied with the life here?"

Jenny didn't know what the lord and the general manager were going to do when they came to her humble hut in person, so she couldn't take the initiative to ask, so she could only bite the bullet and answer Gawain's question: "Very...very satisfied, to be honest It's better than I imagined."

As she spoke, she brought in two chairs so that the lord and the steward had a place to sit, and she could only stand by herself: there were only two chairs in total.

"Imagine?" Gawain glanced at Jenny curiously, "What do you imagine?"

When Jenny heard this, she suddenly lost her words, but she had to answer: "At first... I thought it would be more difficult here. I heard that this camp has only been built for more than a month, and there are no staff or anything. Insufficient, I didn't expect so many houses have been built here, and there is a wharf that can receive supplies from Tanzania..."

"This is because everyone works hard," Gao Wen laughed, "and to be honest, it's not that fast. I've seen the speed of building a town in a month."

That was on the earth with cement—Gao Wen quietly added in his heart.

Jenny was taken aback by Gawain's casual remark, but followed her and understood it in her own way: "Ah, you are talking about the Gondor Empire seven hundred years ago?"

"Almost the same thing," Gawain said casually, and looked at the humble hut, "Well, now the camp can only provide such living conditions, but don't worry, the brick kiln has already started to be built, and there are enough Bricks and tiles, I will let people on the territory live in brick houses as soon as possible."

Jenny: "...Huh?"

She had been waiting for Gawain to mention the issue of "excessive treatment" from the beginning, but after waiting for a long time, the topic became more and more deviated, and now it was even the opposite, she couldn't help but doubt the Was this ancient man planning this camp according to the standards of the Gondor Empire back then, but then he thought - Gawain Cecil back then also pioneered the land from scratch and built the Kingdom of Ansu together with his predecessor. Yes, the old man has experience in this area, so he shouldn't make random analysis...

Miss Rune Master, who was confused, began to analyze it randomly.

However, Gawain didn't know what the rune master named Jenny was thinking about. He just said a few words to open up the atmosphere. Seeing that the atmosphere couldn't be opened, he simply changed the subject: "We're here today, the main thing is I just want to know about your placement, what other needs of your guests who have come from afar, and by the way, to know about yourself."

"Understand... me?" Jenny pointed to herself in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Heidi took out a piece of paper and pushed it in front of the other party: "I'll say it clearly, we read your information, you are a fourth-level rune master, but your mage level... is an apprentice?"

Jenny's heart suddenly twitched.

Sure enough, it's time to come.

The fourth-level rune master level will not bring you glory, on the contrary, the apprentice-level mage level is the truth, and this disparity in level does not mean talent, it will only make people associate her with the "freak". Together.

Even worse: a mage apprentice was stuffed into the team as a mid-level professional, what would the founding great guild from 700 years ago think? According to the thinking of ordinary nobles, he will definitely regard this as a kind of deception and insult, and it is possible to get angry about this, but he will not lose his temper with the king, so the object of his venting can only be his own "lie" itself".

The rune master from the capital lowered his head deeply and pleaded guilty in the most humble and frightened tone: "I'm sorry, Lord Duke, and Madam Hetty, I have no intention of deceiving you, I am willing to accept punishment for this..."

But Gawain interrupted her suddenly: "How did you do it?"

Jenny was trying to organize the language so as to put out the "aristocratic anger" she imagined, but she didn't expect that Gawain not only didn't get angry, but asked such a mindless question, and was stunned.

Gawain thought that the other party didn't hear clearly, so he repeated his own question: "How did you complete the basic exercises of the rune master as an apprentice? Can you sense the magic power of multiple runes at the same time? Do 'Magic Tuning'?"

Runemasters are indeed "craftsmen", and their labor is no different from that of masons in the eyes of professional mages, but Gawain is very clear that there are still differences, and the differences are very big:

Rune masters not only draw the magic circle according to the blueprint, they must also be able to actively modify and adjust the position of the runes, and also be able to conduct tuning tests on those runes that are not quite certain. They must master the skills of sensing multiple runes and "magic tuning" the adjusted runes.

This is something that only a first-level mage can master!
