Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 773
Chapter 763 Substitute Teacher Thor
After leaving the servant’s house, it was already late.
Thor maintained his magic fluctuations at the scale of a first-level formal wizard, and then found a random hotel that provided services to wizards to stay.
He originally wanted to disguise himself as a wizard apprentice so that he could get close to the apprentice boy who appeared in the servant’s dream.
But he found that the status of wizard apprentices in Sky City seemed a little too low.
Unlike the State Continent where ordinary people are everywhere, Sky City itself is a giant witchcraft creation. Ordinary people really can’t live here.
There are only two remote alleys for ordinary people to live.
Most of the people living there are ordinary people who work in the airport like servants.
And wizard apprentices here can’t live in hotels.
There are special apprentice dormitories for apprentices to live in.
Whether you are a local apprentice or not, you can only live in designated places when you come here.
It doesn’t matter if you have money.
The level restrictions are very strict.
It’s better only when you become a formal wizard.
At least you don’t have to be assigned a place to live, but you can’t enter the areas near the White Glazed Castle.
The inn where Thor stayed was ordinary, and there was no sign of any preferential treatment for wizards.
Fortunately, Thor was not a person who pursued enjoyment.
He randomly booked a single room and meditated until dawn.
The next morning, Thor went out and successfully found the broken tower that appeared in the servant’s dream after asking a few passers-by.
Although the wizard apprentice in the dream might not live near the broken tower, since the servant came here to look for someone, the other party at least appeared in this place more often.
Thor’s first day here, he did not gain anything.
He did not use any witchcraft, and continued to wait near the broken tower and observe everyone who passed by on the second day.
The boy did not let Thor wait too long. On the second morning, Thor saw him jogging all the way and passing the broken tower.
“Found it.”
Thor followed leisurely with his hands behind his back. Even though the other party’s figure was getting farther and farther away, Thor did not speed up. When
he was about to lose the other party’s trace, Thor saw the boy walk into a place like a large auditorium.
This auditorium covers a large area, surrounded by a square full of white and pink whispering flowers.
There are also many wizard apprentices in the square, with fewer first-level ones and more second- and third-level ones.
This place is also close to the apprentices’ dormitory area.
Compared with the densely packed apprentice dormitories like a beehive, this place is much more spacious, like a student playground.
When Thor walked through the square, every apprentice who noticed him would bow his head and salute.
Even those who were sitting on the benches before would immediately stand up.
“The hierarchy is quite strict.”
Thor walked to the door of the auditorium, and before he went in, someone came out first.
The person was a woman who looked to be in her forties. Although her skin was still smooth and fair, the vicissitudes and fatigue in her eyes could not be concealed.
She was stunned when she saw Thor, and then immediately smiled with relief.
“You’re finally here. I thought you were dissatisfied with the poor treatment and had given up.”
Thor stopped and asked, “Do you know who I am?”
The woman nodded. “Although I have never seen you, I am a young first-level wizard with a strange face. The only person appearing outside the lecture hall at this time is the substitute lecturer we hired from outside the island.”
Thor shrugged and asked, “In fact, I’m still considering it…”
The woman raised her hands and asked, “I know our salary is a little low, but before you are able to enter the Academy of Knowledge or the Academy of Practice, the lecturer in the Apprentice School is the most suitable transitional job.”
Seeing that Thor had not left, the woman thought he was tempted, so she simply pulled Thor’s sleeve and led him in.
“I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name is Laura, and I’ve been a lecturer here for 27 years.”
“Thor.”
“Hello, Thor. I know you’re still hesitant, but you can really give it a try. Even if it’s just for one class?”
Laura muttered, “The third-level apprentice class is actually very easy to take. They will ask some stupid questions that are a headache. If you really don’t know, just tell them directly that this is not something you should know now.”
Apprentices passed by the two of them from time to time, but Laura also talked about how to deal with apprentices unscrupulously.
“If you really have something to do, you can also notify us to turn the course into a self-study class. Of course, we won’t pay for this situation.”
Laura covered her lips with the back of her hand, seemingly secretive, but her voice was still loud and clear, saying, “Of course, my suggestion is that you can come here to do your own thing, and then those apprentices can actually study on their own.”
Thor raised his eyebrows and nodded as if he suddenly realized something.
These Laura wizards in front of him were obviously just workers, not the owners of this school, let alone the ones who were responsible for paying wages.
“You young people, who have just become first-level wizards, are full of ambition and don’t know the benefits of this place. In fact, the formal instructors here have been working here for decades like me.”
“Although there is no way for you to get promoted or obtain many rare resources here. But it can keep you alive, live like a king.”
Laura said this, and suddenly waved to an apprentice who was closer to her.
The apprentice was immediately lifted up as if he had encountered a hurricane, and then slammed hard on the wall of the corridor, and immediately vomited a large mouthful of blood.
The apprentices nearby were so scared that they dared not make a sound, and all consciously stood against the wall.
Laura said to the apprentice who had not yet climbed up in a completely different tone: “Scott, if you don’t know how to respect formal wizards, next time I will smash your head like a berry!”
The apprentice lying on the ground didn’t dare to climb up at all, and even didn’t dare to look at Laura. He could only spit blood and nod desperately.
But obviously… he just stood a little closer to Laura.
Thor opened his mouth, and then quickly closed it, his face stunned, like a new teacher who had just started out.
Laura was very satisfied with Saul’s reaction. She knew that a normal person would have changed his mind about this low-paying job by now.
So she began to give Saul a sense of crisis again.
“Of course, it doesn’t matter if you still have other plans. Just take over the courses for the next few days. The lecturer who was originally responsible for the third-level apprentices has gone to participate in the assessment of the Institute of Knowledge. If he fails the assessment, he will come back to continue teaching.”
At this time, the two came to the classroom at the end of the corridor.
This is a tiered classroom.
It looks like it can seat more than 200 people.
But at this time, there were less than 50 people sitting in the classroom, and they were sitting very scattered. Seven of them sat in the last row, and when Saul and Laura walked in, they did not sit up straight like the others.
Laura, who had been talking loudly, also used secret language for the first time to talk to Thor: “By the way, unless the apprentices in the last row ask you questions, you don’t have to care about them. These people either have close relatives of formal wizards, or have good talents and have the opportunity to become formal wizards. We usually don’t care about apprentices at this stage, so as to avoid embarrassment when they are promoted.”
Thor nodded casually. In fact, he didn’t listen to Laura carefully.
Because he was in the last row and saw the wizard apprentice boy who appeared in the servant’s dream!
