Chapter 987: Part 1: Test
From MC's Perspective:
Purple City,
I considered making use of this Zero Puppet. But I quickly disregarded that notion. I still do not know much about the city. It is simply too dangerous. This place is huge, with a lot of people living in it, unlike the strange border town.
These business families may be led by Peak Wizards. I briefly forgot that one of the four major organizations in the lawless country is the Purple Chamber of Commerce.
I went back to bed after calming down.
After two days,
I was awakened by the innkeeper. Before getting ready, I put on the mask. As soon as I opened the door. The owner was standing in front of me.
He said, "There is someone from the administration building here to see you."
I responded as usual, "That is great." I thanked him again and went downstairs. Then I noticed a man in his middle age standing outside.
I knew who he was. That day, he was with the staff.
The middle-aged man said, "Ethan Brown."
"Yes," I answered. When I registered, I used my alias.
He said, "Leave now; the test will begin in an hour."
I looked surprised when I heard that and raised my eyebrows. I hardly ever leave the room these days. To think they would follow me around. A shiver ran down my spine.
I then began to follow a man in his middle age.
We soon arrived at the same location. However, there are not as many people waiting outside this time. The Man entered. Observing that I trailed behind him to go inside.
After that, I noticed the employees who had that day registered my details.
"You have arrived!"
"Come with me, I will add you. Ten individuals have submitted applications for the position of Artifact Identifier. "Everyone else is an elderly man nearing the end of their life, with the exception of you," the Staff stated.
Hearing that I touched my mask. How are they aware that I am not elderly?
"There are plenty of ways to know whether you are an old man or not," the staff member stated with a smile. even if you covered up your strength with something."
I got an understanding look when I heard that. It must be related to my demeanor, voice, and response time.
The fact that I am foreign is the most important. Though I am speculating, I do not think the others are.
I went behind the building with the employees. Nine more people were standing behind the table there, as I saw. Every table has a few items on it.
"Your table is that one. Head over there and bide your time. The Staff said, "Next up, someone will speak."
After hearing that, I gave a head nod and moved toward the table. I then took a position behind it.
The other candidates were staring at me at the same moment.
"Where is this foreigner from?"
"Does he believe the job of an artifact identifier is simple?"
"These days, any cat and mouse are applying for it!"
"It is possible the foreigner will not be around for long."
"Perhaps the magic power of a foreigner is the reason."
These old men began cursing one by one. However, prior to the test, they are powerless.
On the other hand, my eyes became icy. I did not anticipate encountering this level of animosity. I looked in that direction to check if the employee had left.
However, he had vanished.
Meanwhile,
Are you comfortable administering the test on your own, young miss? The butler enquired.
The stunning woman in the blue dress gave a nod of her head and continued, "I took a few items from the old battleground #3. However, I was unable to recognize any of them."
The old man cried out, "#3 Ancient Battle Field."
"Miss, these are significant items. The Butler reasoned, "You should not take these out carelessly.
He is aware of the mystique surrounding historic battlegrounds. There are opportunities for Wizards on every ancient battlefield.
For the Bloodline Wizards, some of the old battlegrounds are useful. So much so that occasionally someone finds a specific inheritance there.
In addition, the things that can be found there are also valued highly. One such location was the Ancient Battlefield #3. The #3 ancient battlefields are only open to large families and organizations.
That woman was Cory Anderson, dressed in blue. She was not surprised because she knew Butler would say this. Rather than keeping it in the family's storage.
She wants to know whether anyone can recognize these items. If they do, the individual will be able to pass the test and find work as well.
She will assign them to more significant tasks.
"Let's go to the test area," She said.
The Butler had no choice other than to follow her.
Testing area:
I have already recognized the items on the table. These items are wrecks of airships. All of them are mechanical parts. Only people familiar with the job can identify this.
Out of curiosity, I started to check items on others' tables. Seeing that they were different . I sighed inwardly.
Tap!
Shortly after, the footsteps sound came. When I raised my head to see.
A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. This was the same woman whom I had met not long ago. I didn't expect to see her here.
At the same time, Cory swept her eyes across everyone. When she saw a person wearing a familiar mask. She was surprised in her heart as well.
"He was the same foreigner. To think he ended up choosing the Purple Chamber of Commerce. Was it a coincidence?" She asked in her heart.
"Miss, this person's identity is suspicious. Why don't we interrogate him?" The Butler asked. He has recognized the person as well. He doesn't believe in coincidence . He thinks that person has ulterior motives.
"No, do you think? All the foreigners are the same. Besides, he is here for a test. We will know whether he is lying or not," Cory said.
Then I walked forward and looked at everyone.
"Hello, everyone. It's nice to meet you. I'm the young miss of the Purple Chamber of Commerce," She said.
Gasp!
The old people exclaimed in shock. They didn't expect to see such an identity revealed. The young miss is related to the Main Branch of the Purple Chamber of Commerce. Not the branch one in the Purple City.
Anyone related to the Main Branch are big people.
