Chapter 278: Loss of apprenticeship

　　When I arrived outside the town, the market like last year existed, but compared to the lively scene on the square, it was much deserted here.
　　 Of course, no matter how deserted it is, it is a once-a-year market, and there are still a lot of people.
　　 But the problem is—the Lion and Fire Circus is nowhere to be seen. Xia Duo walked around here and asked a possible result from the vendor.
　　 "Stay in the city of Conifer?" Xia Duo murmured.
　　 In fact, he also knew that even if the Lion and Fire Circus came this year, Mu Yan might not be there, and it might not even be possible to even contact Mu Yan through the Lion and Fire Circus.
　　 After all, Mu Yan mentioned that, he was only temporarily living in the circus, and then he would travel around, the schedule was uncertain.
　　 Didn't see Mu Yan, Xia Duo felt a little lost in her heart, but life would never go well, so she picked up her mood and returned to the Master Tower.
　　 It's really lively outside, but it's not his lively. One day, he will hold Mid-Autumn Festival, New Year, Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival and other celebrations from his hometown in Daxialing. That is his lively.

　　 The top of the Tower of Time, the Lord’s Study Room.
　　 Niya stood by the projection window, looking at the crowded crowded scene in the square outside. From time to time, magical fireworks rose in the air, level with her sight.
　　 "Heir Niya, the time agreed with Bishop Ambriel is still half an hour."
　　 "I see." Niya retracted her gaze from the window and sighed slightly, "Oh~ Father still couldn't make it back after all!"
　　 After returning to the desk and sitting down, Niya didn't want to read any more documents or information. At this moment, the worry about her father occupied most of her mind.
　　 She pushed away the paperwork on the desk with a little annoyance, and asked casually, "Taling, how many new apprentices did she accept this year?"
　　 "Ten."
　　 "What?!" Niya could hardly believe her ears, but Taring couldn't fake her words, so she asked, "How many people come to the Mage Tower to participate in the assessment?"
　　 She has some doubts whether the content of this year's assessment is too difficult, so that the pass rate is too low, only ten people are accepted, but there are more than ten people when it is the least in previous years!
　　 "Ten."
　　 The passing rate is 100%, which is in line with the passing rate of previous years. After all, those who can participate in the assessment must be smarter than the average person. Otherwise, there is no need to waste this time, energy, and most important money.
　　 The Tower of Time does not set too high a threshold for recruiting apprentices. Basically, you can come as long as you are an adult, but it's hard to say whether you can successfully become a mage apprentice or even a formal mage.
　　 The threshold is so low, it stands to reason that there can be as few as ten people!
　　 Niya couldn't figure this out, and continued to order Taring, "Bring the archived information of those ten people!"
　　 "In addition, how many apprenticeship contracts expired this year and chose to leave?"
　　The apprenticeship contract lasts for three years. As long as the contract expires, you must leave unconditionally if you fail to become a mage apprentice. Once you become a mage apprentice, you can stay in the mage tower.
　　 In previous years, people who had not been able to become apprentices to become masters usually left. After all, the salary of apprentices was too low, and they had to pay back for learning.
　　 People who have become apprentices of wizards generally want to become official wizards. They know that once they leave, they are almost insulated from the magic road. These people are unwilling to leave whenever possible.
　　 Niya instinctively felt as if something bad had happened, but she couldn't tell what it was, she just subconsciously asked about the other apprentices.
　　 But Taring told her that the result was not so ideal, "Heir Niya, 72 apprentices chose to leave this year."
　　 "Impossible!" Niya retorted subconsciously. She knew that in the past three years, there had been no new apprentices with more than 50 people. This was definitely not the batch three years ago!
　　 She immediately realized that not many apprentices who originally wanted to stay in the wizard tower had given up the magic path.
　　 In Niya's eyes, leaving the Mage Tower is tantamount to giving up the magic path. There is no such good condition as the Mage Tower outside!
　　 At this time, Taring had already sent the information of ten new apprentices this year, right on the desk in front of Niya, and he could get it with his hand.
　　 Niya checked one by one, "Billing, from Savile."
　　 "Stark, from Savile."
　　……
　　 With a "pop", Niya took all the information to the table. She had realized what was wrong, and she took care of the others. Niya began to search on the bookshelf behind her.
　　 The position of the document is very conspicuous, it is not difficult to find, as if someone can put it here, Niya opened the document, and it was a decree she had signed earlier.
　　 "Specific Implementation Steps for Savile Collar Officially Leading People to Open and Grant Land"
　　 Niya still remembers how proud she was when she signed the decree. At that time, her father didn't say anything, but took the archive separately and put it on the bookshelf behind her.
　　 Now it seems that the land may be more attractive to civilians than illusory magic.
　　 None of the ten new apprentices this time are ordinary civilians. Those who can have a household registration in Savile are at least small wealthy craftsmen, merchants, and relatives of military officers.
　　 "Stupid!" Niya couldn't help but cursed, what else in this world can change fate more than learning magic!
　　 Without even going to check, she could roughly guess that most of the apprentices who left the Mage Tower should be from ordinary people.
　　 But why can't they clenched their teeth and stick to it!
Niya rubbed her eyebrows. They were relieved once they left, but she got a headache, and the consequences of losing apprentices were not visible in a short time~EbookFREE.me~ But in the long run, the foundation of a formal mage was shaken. Up.
　　 That's it this year, maybe next year it will look like it!
　　 But the decree cannot be changed arbitrarily. That will not only lose authority to the outside world, but will also make her lose face in front of her father!
　　 and personally abandon the decree he signed, my father would be disappointed too! Since taking over the territory, Niya has been working hard to do her best and wanted her father to be proud of her.
　　 "Heir Niya, the time agreed with Bishop Ambriel is still-10 minutes!"
　　 "……"
Today, her father is not here. She must participate in the daytime celebrations on behalf of her father. In the evening, there is an activity to distribute holy water to the leaders. Niya can only temporarily put down the apprenticeship, put on a set of ceremonial robes, and left the mage. tower.

　　 On the other side, the big summer collar from the south.
　　 Lord Epps was looking madly at the magic net that suddenly rioted in the Misuo. He knew that the Misao was about to collapse and the plane crystal was about to appear!
　　 He has been waiting for this moment for too long!
　　 "After all, I still haven't been able to find the plane crystal before the mysterious lock collapses!" Epps sighed with emotion.
　　Even, in the mystery that was about to collapse, he took out a bottle of elf fruit wine with great interest. Without a cup, he just carried the bottle directly into his mouth.
　　, while watching the scene of the collapse of Misuo, while chanting like an aria in almost blurred elf language:
　　 "How exquisite, what a brilliant skill!"
"Pity!"
