Chapter 107: Jenny Perrault

The fourth-level rune master from the royal capital, Jenny Perro, was staying in her room, tidying up her few luggage items.

Most of them are tools for drawing runes or portraying arrays, such as corrosion-resistant smear rods, engraving knives mixed with fine gold powder, wedge-shaped scrapers and various types of pens. In addition, they are books and notes carefully collected over the years.

When she left the tutor's mage tower, she was allowed to take away only these things, and in addition, there were only two pieces of clothes to change.

But Jenny Perrow still sorted them out carefully, and then placed these pitiless personal belongings on the desk, cabinet and the shelf at the bedside. After all, she sat in a chair in the middle of the room and looked around the wooden hut that could be described as simple.

As the highest middle-level professional in the 100-person team, she received special attention: a separate house. Although it was just a simple wooden house, which was completely incomparable to the tutor's mage tower, Jenny knew that this was already one of the few good houses in this camp. This time, only formal craftsmen and another wizard were qualified to live in a separate house, and her house was the largest of all houses, which made her very satisfied.

After all, even though she lived in the tutor's mage tower, she just slept on the floor of the utility room. Apart from the walls beside her, the residence was not much better than here.

No, it's better here. At least this wooden house belongs to her. 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, then looked down at her hands, thinking about the future.

She knew her embarrassing position very well. She was the highest middle-level professional in the team, but in fact, her real extraordinary level was just a mage apprentice. Rune master was a craftsman. Apart from the ability to cast spells and sense magic, there was no essential difference from those carpenters and stonemasons. In fact, according to the habits of mages, the second-level arcane master in the team should be the highest-level person, so it is obvious that she, the mid-level professional, is just a make-up number.

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

So how long can such an embarrassing person last? But he must receive him seriously in accordance with the rules and provide an independent residence?

It probably lasted until the Duke thought he had given enough face to the king, or to anybody in the territory raises objections to this matter.

And at that time, the only thing that can ensure her to have a foothold in this land is that she has the only skill.

After all, this is a camp in the construction period. It has many things to be built. Whether it is to make magical instruments or process runes, it is necessary to use it. Mrs. Hetty cannot do everything herself. She is a rune master. If she does it well enough, she might be recognized by that lady. Jenny dare not expect too much. She will be satisfied with being able to gain a foothold in this place.

Just then, a knock on the door suddenly came, interrupting Jenny's thoughts.

She looked at the direction of the door in surprise and nervousness, guessing who would come to find 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 not to offend him.

The door opened, and the person standing at the door made her breathing slow for half a beat.

A tall figure with short brown hair and deep eyes was the owner of this land, the Duke of Gowen Cecil who had been resurrected seven hundred years ago, and next to this tall figure was Ms. Hetty, wearing a long red dress.

The lord and the supervisor came in person, which made Jenny at a loss for a moment. She couldn't help but remember her random thoughts and became very worried: Does this lord already think that the treatment he gave her is too good?

When Jenny was a little surprised, Gao Wen looked at the girl in front of her and couldn't help but look at her more: The rune master from the royal capital should look less than 20 years old, tall but thin, and had a sick feeling. She had long silver-white hair, but her long hair looked a little dry and messy because of her neglect. Her hair hangs from both sides on her cheeks. On the left side of her cheek, there was a large area of ​​ugly scar. The scar was the reason why Gao Wen couldn't help but look at her again.

They have completely affected the girl's originally pretty appearance. Not only did it cover one-third of the face on the left, but it also spread down the neck. Due to the cover of her clothes, Gao Wen didn't know how large the area of ​​this scar, which seemed to be burned, was, but he guessed that it must have originated from some rather terrible accident.

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

Jenny seemed to wake up. She let her body go away with her helplessness and whispered in a low voice: "Duke...Duke, do you come in person...what are you asking for?"

"Just come and see," Gao Wen took Hetty into the wooden house and looked at it casually: the house is not big, the bedroom and the living room are completely connected, and you can see what the furnishings are inside at a glance. He saw that this place was basically the simple furniture created by the carpenters of the territory, and there was no trace of personal belongings at all. Then he judged that Jenny Perrow was living in the King Capital as he had guessed. "How is it? I have been accustomed to the camp for two days. Are you still satisfied with the life here?"

Jenny had no idea what the lord and the general manager were going to do in their simple hut, and she couldn't ask for it on her own initiative, so she could only answer Gao Wen's question with a gritty bullet and answer: "I'm very... very satisfied. To be honest, it's better than I thought."

While talking, she brought two chairs to let the lord and the general manager have a place to sit down, but she could only stand beside her: there were only two chairs here in total.

"Imagine?" Gao Wen glanced at Jenny curiously, "What are you imagining?"

Jenny felt a sudden distortion when she heard this, but had to answer: "At first... I thought it would be more difficult here. I heard that the camp was only more than a month since it was started, and there was not enough manpower. I didn't expect that so many houses had been built here, and there was a pier to receive supplies transported from Tanzan Town..."

"This is because everyone works hard," Gao Wen laughed. "And to be honest, this is not fast. I have seen the speed of building a town in a month."

That was quietly adding in the heart of the cement Earth Gao Wen.

Jenny was startled by Gao Wen's casual words, but then she understood it in her own way: "Ah, you are talking about the Gondor Empire seven hundred years ago, right?"

"It's almost the same," Gao Wen said casually, and looked at the simple hut. "Well, the camp can only provide such living conditions now, but don't worry, the brick kiln factory has started to be built. When there are enough bricks and tiles, I will allow people in the territory to live in the brick house as soon as possible."

Jenny: “…ha?”

From the beginning, she was waiting for Gao Wen to mention the problem of "over-high treatment", but after waiting for a long time, the topic was becoming more and more biased. Now it is even completely opposite. She couldn't help but wonder if the ancient man in front of her was planning this camp according to the standards of the Gondor Empire back then, but then she thought that Gao Wen Cecil had also pioneered from scratch and built the Ansu Kingdom with his ancestors. He had experience in this area and should not have random analysis...

The confused rune teacher began to analyze it randomly.

Gao Wen didn't know what this rune master named Jenny was thinking about. He just said a few words to open up the atmosphere. Seeing that the atmosphere could not be opened, he simply changed the topic: "We are here today, mainly to understand your placement situation, to understand what you guests from afar still have, and to know yourself."

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

Hedy pulled out a piece of paper and pushed it to the other party: "I'll tell you clearly. We have read your information. You are a level 4 rune master, but your mage level... is an apprentice?"

Jenny's heart suddenly thrust.

As expected, what should be come is still here.

The level 4 rune master level does not bring glory to you, but the apprentice mage level is the truth. This huge difference does not mean talent, but will only make people associate her with the "freak".

Even worse: A mage apprentice who was put into the team as a mid-level profession, what did the founding guild from seven hundred years ago think? According to the general aristocrats' thinking, he would inevitably regard this as a deception and insult, and it is possible to be angry about it, but he would not lose his temper at the king, so the only target he vented was his own "lie itself".

The rune master from the royal capital lowered his head deeply and apologized in the humble and terrifying tone: "I'm sorry, Lord Duke, and Ms. Heti, I have no intention of cheating on you, I am willing to accept punishment for this..."

But Gao Wen suddenly interrupted her: "What did you do?"

Jenny was working hard to organize language to extinguish the "noble anger" she imagined, but she didn't expect that Gao Wen not only did not get angry, but instead asked such a stupid question, but was stunned.

Gao Wen thought the other party hadn't heard it clearly, so he had to repeat his question: "How did you complete the basic exercises of runes masters as an apprentice? Can you sense the magic of plural runes at the same time? Can you 'magic tune' the runes?"

Rune masters are indeed "craftsmen". Their labor is no different from that of bricklayers in the eyes of professional mages, but Gao Wen is very clear that there are still differences, and there are very big differences:

Rune masters not only draw magic circles according to the drawings, they must also be able to actively modify and adjust the position of runes, and also be able to tune and test those uncertain runes. To do this, they must master the skills of sensing plural runes and "magic tune" the adjusted runes.
