Chapter 114 External Employment Institute
In the capital of King Yu, when King Ren received Zou Heng's letter, a month had passed since Zou Heng left Yu and came to Baigong.
During this month, Zou Heng carefully visited the three cities of Baigong Kingdom, got to know the country in more detail, and also had a rough experience of some of Baigong Kingdom's magic techniques, which broadened his horizons a lot.
Although his horizons have broadened a lot and he has gained a lot of knowledge, in this month, Zou Heng's real gains were not as great as he imagined. At least the skills he wanted to obtain that ordinary people can practice were not available.
How much to get.
These techniques, which can be called techniques, are indeed not as tightly guarded as ordinary techniques, but they cannot be obtained casually.
These techniques can only be mastered by some of the people who are engaged in all walks of life in the Baigong Kingdom. For them, this is their ability to eat better than others. How can they teach it to others so easily.
Generally speaking, when folk artists teach their apprentices a certain craft, they have to test it for a period of time and let the apprentice work hard for several years before they can teach them something. In this way, they may still retain their skills, let alone these skills.
.
Zou Heng spent some money as a price and collected several skills. The cultivation methods and functions are the same as those he got from Jia Guang before. They are very troublesome and useless. For Zou Heng, they only have some reference significance.
There was no need to practice, because for Zou Heng, these techniques not only took a long time to practice, but were also too weak, making it uneconomical to learn them.
With that time, Zou Heng can upgrade the techniques he has mastered to a higher level, which will undoubtedly be more cost-effective.
The value of these spells that ordinary people can practice is indeed average. However, through this month, Zou Heng also learned that there are actually many profound and powerful spells in various industries in Baigong Kingdom.
Warlocks from all walks of life mastered these techniques, which were very unique. These techniques were what Zou Heng really coveted.
Unfortunately, the conditions for learning these techniques are too harsh. According to the normal channels, you need to enter the corresponding industry as an apprentice. After a few years, you will be proficient in the skills, and you will be able to learn even half of them.
Where does Zou Heng have the time, and he has not entered any industry. He spends his time slowly just to have the patience to learn one or two techniques. Fortunately, there is not only one way. In addition to this conventional channel, you must
In fact, there are other ways to learn martial arts at Baigong Guo.
This approach can be said to be specially prepared for foreign warlocks as a means for a small country of warlocks to attract and retain foreign talents.
The country of Baigong has no king and no court. The country's managers are a group of magicians engaged in various industries. Those who can make decisions are a few selected masters from various industries.
There are a total of five master craftsmen in Baigong Kingdom, each of them is a magician in the realm of Tongxuan. As leaders in different industries, they each also master this very powerful skill. They are very popular in Baigong Kingdom and even in the surrounding countries.
It's a small country, and everyone is respected.
However, as a country, no matter how it is managed, it needs its own strength to protect the country externally and maintain stability internally.
Baigong Kingdom's defense force mainly consists of two parts, one is Baigong Kingdom's own magicians, and the other is magicians from outside.
In order to continuously absorb fresh blood from outside and win over these foreign warlocks as much as possible, Baigong Kingdom established an organization called the Foreign Warlocks Academy to hire foreign warlocks to help them do things, and they paid corresponding rewards. Zou Heng
If you want to learn magic in Baigong Kingdom, this is another way.
However, the external recruitment academy of Baigong Country is not an easy place to get into, and they are not looking for just any warlock. The warlocks who can be hired by them must have real materials, and preferably those with superior combat power.
That's because recruiting external warlocks is mainly for the external warlocks' combat power.
Zou Heng felt that his combat ability was not bad. After getting to know him in this month, he also roughly knew how to join the external recruitment academy, and he already had a path.
The streets of Baigong Country in the evening were still very lively, with an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going, and the various stalls showed no intention of closing their stalls, as if they still wanted to seize the last moment of sunset.
Zou Heng carried his luggage and a knife on his back and walked into a restaurant with a five-story attic. This was the most impressive-looking restaurant on the entire street.
After walking inside, Zou Heng discovered that this restaurant was not only grand on the outside, but also very gorgeously decorated inside. It was very special and the atmosphere was equally lively.
The five-story restaurant has a two-story stage on one side. There are no stairs inside. The way to go up and down the stairs is through some cylindrical platforms that can be raised and lowered at specific positions.
After Zou Heng walked in, a waiter immediately came up to greet him: "This mage, the first floor is full, please come upstairs!"
After saying that, he took Zou Heng to the cylindrical platform upstairs, stood on it with both feet, and then the circular platform slowly rose up. After reaching the second floor, it stopped very gently.
The waiter took Zou Heng to a table near the railing on the second floor, and then asked Zou Heng to sit down. The location here is directly opposite the stage opposite, and it is a very good position to be able to see the performances on the stage.
After taking Zou Heng to sit down, the waiter did not leave, but continued to say to Zou Heng: "Master, I'll make you a pot of wine!"
After saying that, without waiting for Zou Heng to agree, the clerk reached out and grabbed the table, and actually took out a set of wine utensils from the table. Then he walked to the pillar in two steps, reached out and took out a bamboo tube from his arms, and put
The bamboo pipe was inserted towards the pillar.
Zou Heng noticed that there was a large wine jar painted on the pillar. The bamboo tube in the waiter's hand was inserted into the position of the wine jar. Then, wine flowed out of the bamboo tube and was used by the waiter.
The pot caught it.
After the wine jug was filled, the man pulled out the bamboo pipe again. There was not even a hole in the pillar, and there was no difference from before.
After putting the wine on Zou Heng's table, the waiter asked Zou Heng what he wanted to eat. Zou Heng casually ordered a few dishes and then sent the waiter away.
He came to this restaurant today not to eat, but to meet people, so what he ate was not important.
While waiting for the food to be served, Zou Heng poured himself a glass of wine and kept staring at the stage below, waiting for the person he wanted to see to appear.
At this moment, there was actually a performance going on on the stage. It was a few artists performing a local drama from the Baigong Kingdom. Zou Heng couldn't quite appreciate it, but he knew that after these people finished their performance,
It was the turn of the person he wanted to meet today to take the stage.
After a while, after the waiter brought all the dishes Zou Heng ordered, the drama on the stage finally ended, and the person Zou Heng was waiting for today finally came on stage.
I saw the curtain on the stage slowly closing. Zou Heng looked through the curtain and could see a person coming to the center of the stage. Then, the curtain slowly opened again, but there was no one behind him.
It was revealed that a layer of thick smoke was spreading on the stage, and then, a sad and sweet voice, with a very unique singing tune, fell into everyone's ears like a clear spring flowing.
In just a few words, the content sung along with the voice has brought everyone's emotions into a tragic story.
And with the unique and beautiful singing, scenes began to appear in the smoke. As the sound unfolded the story, people could understand it more intuitively and be better emotionally moved.
Zou Heng looked at the changing scene of smoke on the stage, and his eyes couldn't help but show wonder.
It would be fine to say that the scenes in front of him were completely displayed by magic. What surprised him was that most of the scenes displayed in the smoke were actually arranged in advance, through very complicated processes.
The arrangement made this scene appear in the smoke.
This form of drama is called cloud opera. Not many people can perform it, but it is very popular in many places. The cloud opera performed on the stage now tells the story of a protector of a country that has long since disappeared.
A story about a hero who defended the country and drove away evil spirits, but was later framed and killed by a traitor.
If the content of the story is told alone, it would not be very impressive, but with the unique and beautiful singing voice, the combination of the two will completely bring people into the story, and they can experience the tragedy of the characters in the story, and their mood will change accordingly.
There are constant ups and downs as the story develops.
From the beginning to the end of the performance, there was almost no sound in the restaurant. All the guests were watching the performance on the stage intently. After the performance ended, after several breaths, there was a deafening cheer.
Some relatively wealthy people even threw some gold and silver items on the stage as rewards for the performers.
Zou Heng no longer had any mental ups and downs at this time. He looked at the excited guests. He just held the wine glass silently, waiting for the person he wanted to see to come. The other party's performance was over and he should be coming next.
Zou Heng didn't wait long before a graceful figure slowly came to his table.
The visitor was wearing a colorful skirt, with willow-shaped eyebrows, a pair of very smart eyes, and a very beautiful face. When walking, she also moved lightly with lotus steps, and her posture was quite dignified. She looked like a lady, that is.
The satchel she was carrying somewhat ruined the overall beauty.
When Zou Heng saw the person coming, he immediately stood up and spoke first: "Zou Heng, I guess the person I am meeting today is a girl, so you are polite!"
