Chapter 48
Colin, who was half full, failed to arrive before seven o'clock when the association "closed get off work".

In the hall that was originally as lively as a vegetable market, there were not many people left at this time, and several staff members had even started to clean up.

The magic timer directly above reads seven zero six.

Ke Lin was hesitating whether to ask someone to inform you to see the President, but he heard someone behind him exclaim:

"Mr. Wayne?"

Colin, who thought the voice sounded familiar, turned his head and found that Ms. Eleanor, who had participated in the assessment together last time, was looking at him with surprise on her face.

"Hello, Ms. Eleanor, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

"Yeah, what a surprise, why are you here?"

"I also chose to name myself in the association, of course I can appear here." Colin smiled.

"No, what I mean is, the front hall is here to receive ordinary guests who come to the association to ask for help or issue tasks. As you, you can go directly to the exclusive reception area at the back... But do you also choose to name it? This is out of the question. More than we expected."

"Why?" Colin wondered.

"I thought you wouldn't think highly of the association's resources." Eleanor said with some embarrassment.

"Ma'am, there is no distinction between high and low knowledge."

Colin glanced at the time and felt that there was no need to bother the staff of the association today, so he stopped worrying and said to Eleanor with a smile:
"Why are you still in the association so late?"

"I just came out of the library. To be honest, the association's collection of books is so vast that I completely forgot the time. I didn't come out until the administrator urged me."

"Oh? Do libraries have time limits too?"

"Yes, from 8 am to 7 pm. And there are permissions restrictions. With my current level, there are not many books I can read."

"I see." Colin wrote it down secretly, and then asked curiously: "Ms. Eleanor, I found that you seem to be familiar with the rules of the association?"

Eleanor pursed her lips and smiled, "It's because you don't care about these things."

After she finished speaking, she remembered the request from her companion last night. However, she never thought that she would meet Colin Wayne again so soon. no more.

She summoned up her courage and was about to speak, but she heard Colin Wayne ask first:
"Ms. Eleanor, can I ask a more personal question. Of course, if you find it inconvenient, you can refuse to answer it."

Eleanor was taken aback at first, and then became inexplicably nervous.

private question?

How personal is it?

Eleanor, who thinks she is quite pretty, is the same as all women of this age, always unconsciously thinking about various issues, not to mention asking questions in this way is indeed easy to make people think wildly.

She looked forward to it with three points of guard and seven points: "What's the problem?"

"I want to know, are you self-taught in magic?" Colin asked.

Eleanor breathed a sigh of relief in disappointment, and said with a smile:

"It's self-taught, but not quite."

"Oh?"

"Mr. Wayne probably doesn't know much about people like us. To put it mildly, they are called 'independent magicians', but there is actually a word specifically used to call us awakened people who have no teacher and no background-'wild mages'. "

"It's really not very pleasant." Colin shook his head and laughed.

"No way, not every magician has enough talent to be favored by the seniors."

Eleanor seemed to be used to it long ago, but instead of feeling sorry for herself, she said quite openly:

"But no matter how difficult it is, since we can awaken, we are already luckier than many people, and we will not give up easily."

"Your spirit is admirable, ma'am." Colin said sincerely.

Eleanor smiled slightly: "In fact, although the wild mage is lonely, he is not completely helpless. For example, I joined a small magic learning group. We learn from each other and communicate with each other, and we can make a lot of progress. "

"Small group?" Colin asked with interest.

"Uh-huh."

Eleanor felt that the topic was approaching in a direction favorable to her, and replied more positively:

"We have a total of 9 people, plus me, there are 3 beginner magicians, and the other 6 people are also formal magicians who have awakened but have not yet passed the examination."

According to the magic habits of the mainland, as long as you awaken, you can call yourself a magician and have the qualifications to wear magic robes.

But he failed the assessment and always felt a bit shorter than others.

"I'm curious, where did you all get your magic knowledge?" Colin asked again.

"There are some magic books and materials in the market, but they are very expensive. For example, I sold half of my family's property and bought two magic books, which recorded two general meditation methods and three basic water systems. magic.

"After I've learned proficiently, I'll join various groups composed of wild mages, find people to exchange, and learn from each other. Step by step, I successfully passed the preliminary examination today."

Eleanor sighed as she recalled her difficult journey, and finally said: "Of course, I must thank Mr. Wayne for your help that day."

"That's what you deserve." Colin responded with a smile, thought for a while, and asked again: "Ms. Eleanor, I wonder how many of the nine of you have received formal apprenticeship training in magic?"

Eleanor was slightly taken aback, and said: "Actually, we all graduated from regular magic schools, but we didn't wake up until long after graduation, which is why we are hardly favored by senior magicians, after all, we are too old gone."

Ke Lin said: "That is to say, you all have the theoretical basis of magic lines and elements?"

Eleanor hesitated and said, "It can be counted, but of course it can't be compared with you."

Then she asked again: "Mr. Wayne, I don't know what you are asking..."

"I'm working on a more complicated project and need a few helpers."

Colin had this idea the first time he saw Eleanor, but he didn't know that there was a group behind her at the beginning. After learning that the other party had 9 people and all of them were above the level of magic apprentice This idea is firm.

It is not impossible to ask the president for help, and maybe even get better talents.

But to be honest, he doesn't need many high-end talents, as long as he understands the basic element theory and can help inscribe the magic pattern, after all, he has already taken care of the difficult things by himself.I really let someone who is too good to be my assistant, but waste everything.

Eleanor and her team literally made it for themselves.

Colin continued: "I don't know Ms. Eleanor, are you interested in participating?"

After he finished speaking, he felt that the temptation was not strong enough, and added another sentence: "The treatment is good."

Eleanor could hardly believe what she was hearing.

Colin Wayne asked me to help?
A surge of joy rushed from the soles of the feet to the top of the head.

Isn't this better than directly inviting Mr. Wayne into the team?

After all, even if you join people like yourself, if you find that the gap is too big after a few exchanges, I'm afraid you won't come again.

That kind of invitation that exists in name only, how could the relationship be more practical and close now?
Since it is a helper, it must be where Mr. Wayne needs help, plus the words "favorable treatment", who said yesterday that "you can benefit a lot by throwing away some unnecessary things"?It was simply too prescient.

"Miss?"

Seeing that the other party hadn't spoken, Ke Lin began to gradually wonder if he was too arrogant. After all, he is a junior magician like himself, so why should he be your assistant?
However, in the next moment, Eleanor responded with a very high frequency of nodding.

"I...I would like...that Mr. Wayne, how many people do you need as assistants?"

"If possible, I need all nine of you."

Colin has calculated the workload, and it would be best to have 3 magicians plus 10 magic apprentices, but if there are all magicians, 9 people seem to be about the same.

"In that case, I agree to all of them."

"Uh... can you make up your mind?"

"No problem." Eleanor said unequivocally.

"Okay, then let's agree on a time and place, and then I need to do a simple test for everyone, please rest assured, if it is true as you said, you all graduated from a formal magic academy, then there will be no problem .”

"Okay, thank you for your trust, Mr. Wayne."

……

……

late at night.

The second floor of a dilapidated old house.

"Eleanor! You sold us all together like this?"

Angelo blushed, and excitedly questioned Eleanor, who was surrounded by a group of people and trembling.

"I thought...you didn't let me...that..."

Don't wait for her to finish.

Angelo hugged her: "You are really amazing!"

Everyone gathered around.

A cheer.
