Chapter one hundred and eighty seventh right-hand man
Lucia did not break the contract.
The next morning, she came to the Dark Tower. After seeing Jomila, Luxiya explained her purpose uneasy. She seemed to be nothing particularly surprised at the exclusive maid of the Dark Tower. Instead, she nodded and then welcomed her into the reception room of the Dark Tower. This ghost place is still gloomy and without any popularity. Of course, perhaps because of the existence of Lita, Yiming and others, at least it feels much better than the lifeless grave before, just like the tomb guards holding a handicap to guide you - perhaps worse.
"Please wait here."
After Yomira said that, she bowed and left, leaving only the restless Lucia. It is no wonder, after all, no matter what it is, when she comes to this magical tower full of dark atmosphere and even the candles are burning with green light, she will involuntarily feel like she walks into the haunted house. This place seems not to belong to human temples, but to the place of the soul. The tremor is not because of fear, but because of the awe from the heart.
Yi, who walked in while yawning, obviously destroyed the sacred atmosphere. After seeing Lu Xiya, Yi Ming shook his hand to her casually to say hello, and then sat down on the sofa casually. After seeing Yi Ming, Lu Xiya quickly stood up and bowed to him respectfully. Until now, she didn't know Yi Ming's true identity, but since he could act so casually in the Dark Tower, was this gentleman a follower next to Lord Yi Ming?
"Hello."
"You're here? It's really early...has you eaten breakfast?"
“……………………………………………”
"Um?"
"Sir Yiming...when will he appear? I'm ordered to wait for him here."
"I am Yiming."
Yi Ming pointed at herself. After hearing this, Lu Xiya widened her eyes in surprise. After a while, she stammered and said in a trembling voice.
"You. Are you Lord Yiming?"
"That's right."
"So. The lady next to you yesterday was Lord Mayalie?"
"yes."
Yi Ming looked at her with some confusion.
"Is there anything wrong with this?"
"No. I...I just......"
Faced with Yi Ming's inquiry, Lu Xiya suddenly became nervous. She sat upright with her whole body stiff. As a poor magician, she had a past like that. Lu Xiya never thought about what kind of job she could get. Because of a certain goal that must be achieved, she had to need a lot of money. So after seeing the employment notice in the Academy Council, although she knew it was unlikely, Lu Xiya still submitted an application. However, she did not have too much expectations for it. As a magician, Lu Xiya knew very well that this employment notice was extraordinary. Even around her, there were many powerful magicians who hoped to be hired by Yi Ming. A magician who could not enhance her strength and had poor grades always thought that it would be impossible to be selected. But for Lu Xiya, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, she was unwilling to give up.
But even so, this magician never thought that as a member of the Academy Council, Yi Ming and Mayali, would come and invite him in person?!
"Then, then...my job is..."
"It's just right, it can also be regarded as a test for you."
"test?"
That's right, Yi Ming stood up and waved to Rei Xiya, so the young magician tried hard to suppress his inner uneasiness and expectations. He followed Yi Ming.
What kind of job will I get? Do you mean, want to see my strength as a magician? But that for me...
Yiming pushed open the door, and then Lu Xiya was stunned by the mountain of information in front of her.
"Where are you going to where I want to move this?"
"No, right."
Yi waved his hand obviously.
“You are responsible for handling these applications.”
"Hey? I'll be responsible for handling it?"
Hearing this, Lu Xiya couldn't believe her ears.
"Why is it me? Lord Yiming, I am just a little magician who has just been hired and I am not qualified to do these things at all. There should be a special responsibility within the academy..."
Of course Yi Ming knew that since there was an employment mechanism, as long as the employer explained his situation, there were naturally special selection agencies in the college. However, Yi Ming did not intend to let them deal with this matter. Although Yi Ming knew nothing about political management, he was very accurate in terms of people's perspectives. Is the other party hiding, hiding, having a purpose, or simply looking at him just for a longing and admiring to get close to him? As long as you say a few words, Yi Ming can determine whether the other party can be trustworthy.
As for her ability to handle, she can use this to observe.
"This is what you work."
Yiming blocked Lu Xiya's rebuttal.
"Do your best to do it. Let me see how far you can do it."
“…………Okay. I understand.”
Lu Xiya was silent for a moment, then raised her head as if she had made up her mind and stared at Yi Ming.
"So, Lord Yiming, what kind of people do you need to hire?"
Yiming did not hesitate about this. After returning yesterday, he went to find Bellroga and contacted Marien, who was far away in Asus. It was obvious that in the city when the city was about to transform, the shortage of manpower was a very important issue. So when he heard about Yiming's problem, Marien hurriedly began to tell him about the difficulties and problems he encountered, and kept arresting Yiming for half a night before letting him go back to bed. Of course, Yiming was not qualified to complain about anything. Marien would still be responsible for handling the city's management affairs after that. Compared to her, Yiming and Meallie were too leisurely. So, at least they had to organize such things.
Simply put, Azus basically lacks manpower in any aspect. With the increase of immigration, the crime rate has also begun to rise, but there is not enough manpower to form a garrison force. Although the tax rate review committee allows Yiming to customize it, the tax rate is relatively low because the city has just developed, but even so, there is a lack of tax collectors. As for other aspects, there are loopholes. To be honest, if Marian and Alinoa had not opened fire every day, the entire management operation of Azus might have been paralyzed long ago.
It was clearly his territory and Meallie, but he wanted Marian and Elinoa to work hard like this. Imingdi was also a little sad. So what he could do now was to choose the followers in the shortest time and go back early to relieve their pressure and burden.
"I see."
After listening to Yi Ming's words motionlessly, Lu Xiya nodded.
"So, can I start working now?"
"Of course, I hope you can finish it as soon as possible."
As he said that, Yi Ming turned around and walked towards the door, and patted Lu Xiya on the shoulder. But Lu Xiya suddenly moved slightly and groaned. This made Yi Ming stop in confusion. He looked at Lu Xiya in front of him carefully, then reached out and pulled open the black mage robe that wrapped the girl's body before Lu Xiya was surprised to stop him. After seeing clearly the secret of the girl in front of him, Yi Ming's face turned cold.
On the girl's snow-white shoulders, there were blue scars everywhere, which was not a damage caused by magic. Yi Ming could see at a glance that this was a scar caused by being beaten, and it seemed to be something like a wooden stick. A magician would actually be injured by everyone with a wooden stick?
It’s easier to use a knife to kill the dragon!
Moreover, from the extension of the scar, there were far more than this. With Yiming's surprise, he was almost certain that there were more scars under this wide magician robe. No wonder when he photographed her, Lu Xiya's body stiffened for a moment, which was simply because of the instinctive reaction of being unable to withstand external forces. And judging from the color of the scar, it was probably not too long, and it was probably what happened last night.
“…………What’s going on?”
Yi Ming let go of his hand, while Lu Xiya hurriedly pulled his mage robe and lowered his head without saying a word.
"Have your money been robbed?"
This is the only answer that Yi Ming can guess, although it is impossible for the gangster to rob the magician with a wooden stick.
"No!!" Sure enough, his guess was denied by Lu Xiya's head.
"So what's going on?"
"I'm sorry...I can't say it."
Lucia lowered her head, held the mage's robe tightly, and stared at her toes.
"This is…my sin."
Then, she spoke in a tone of helplessness and grief.
