The Genius Mage Chapter 112 - Recruitment

Chapter 112: Recruitment

Audrey did not take Alice’s provocation to heart. Her calm demeanor made Alice feel a little frustrated, as though she had punched cotton.

“Just wait and see!” Alice said before turning around and leaving.

Audrey looked down at the jade pendant and chose to keep it in her pocket. Perhaps it would come in handy in the future.

“Audrey, aren’t you angry with her att.i.tude towards you? If it were me, I would have scolded her back!” Hera looked at her.

Kate smiled and tried to persuade her, “You know Audrey’s character. She won’t easily get into a direct conflict with others.”

Hera sighed, “That’s true. After all, Audrey is so gentle. She won’t be as rude as me.”

Audrey listened to their conversation and smiled. “I just feel that it would be a waste of time to argue with her.”

Compared to Alice, she needed to be more concerned about another matter.

Previously, Shadowless Ghost Hand had said that the partic.i.p.ants of the trial needed five people to form a small team. However, there were only four of them here. Therefore, they needed to find another member within three days.

It was not difficult to just find someone. They could just randomly pick someone along the way. The problem was that they did not know the other party’s background.

After all, it was such an important selection for the Templar Knights. Naturally, everyone in the small team had to know their background. If one person had a problem, the entire team would be wiped out.

“Hera, I remember that you told me about a place that had something similar to recruitment. Is it in our city?” Audrey looked up at Hera.

Hera frowned. After thinking for a while, she quickly understood what she meant.

“You want to go to the trading firm to find our teammate this time, right? It’s here. I’ll take you there!” Hera suggested excitedly.

Audrey shook her head gently. “No, let me go alone. It’s too eye-catching for the four of us to appear there together.”

After all, they were all members of the five great families. In addition to the commotion that had just been caused, they would naturally appear very special in the eyes of some people.

Hera and Kate looked at each other. They felt that what she said made sense, so they decided to let Audrey go first to check on the situation while they went to arrange the rooms that they had allocated.

There were not many shops near the city lord’s mansion, and even fewer had military tokens on them. Basically, with a glance, they could see the recruitment hall that Hera had mentioned.

As it turned out, Audrey had a reason for her worry.

The moment she appeared on the street, many people looked in her direction, sizing up the luxuriously dressed girl.

One had to know that the selection for the Templar Knights was very strict. Even if it was a male, very few people could pa.s.s, not to mention a n.o.ble lady who had suddenly appeared.

Audrey stopped in front of the recruitment hall and looked at the words on it. She did not understand.

Nineteen, three stars, fourteen heads.

What exactly did these words mean? Why were there bits and pieces of them?

Her gaze fell on a youth beside her and asked politely, “Sorry to disturb you. Can I trouble you to ask what the words on it mean?”

The youth sized Audrey up, “What a strange question. If you don’t even know about this, why are you here to recruit? Miss, a person like you should pack up and leave the trial as soon as possible. Needless to say, you definitely won’t be able to pa.s.s.”

He was not stupid. Of course, he could tell that Audrey had partic.i.p.ated in the trial of the Templar Knights, which was why she had chosen to recruit her teammates.

However, the problem was that a young lady from a wealthy family like her looked extremely weak. Who would dare to form a team with her?

They were afraid that they would not be able to make it in time.

The young man did not hide his words at all. Many people heard him and looked at Audrey with judgemental eyes.

Audrey frowned. She did not understand why the young man was so hostile toward her.

She clearly did not know him at all, so where did this baffling hostility come from?

Fortunately, an elderly-looking person beside her smiled and tried to smooth things over. “Hey, don’t say too much. She’s already here, so it’s better to introduce her properly.”

The youth was pushed two steps away by the man. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to continue speaking, but in the end, he stopped.

The man came up to Audrey and greeted her. “h.e.l.lo, beautiful lady. My name is Simon Green. I’m the person on duty here. Nice to meet you.”

Seeing Simon Green extend his hand, Audrey politely shook her hand. “h.e.l.lo, I’d like to know about the recruitment.”

Simon pulled a stool for her and let her sit down.

The bright and beautiful Audrey did not seem to be compatible with such an environment. Simon had originally wanted to find a leather stool for this lady, but he did not expect her to raise her skirt without any hesitation, she sat on the slightly dirty wooden stool.

Simon’s gaze carried a hint of appreciation as he realized that the person in front of him was different from an ordinary n.o.ble.

“If I’m not wrong, you’re here to look for a teammate, right?” Simon smiled and asked straightforwardly.

Audrey nodded. “Just as you said, the trial starts in three days. What I need is to find a suitable teammate within three days, so I chose to come here.”

Simon nodded in understanding.

“I know what you mean, but unfortunately, I can’t provide you with recruitment. Oh, I’m sorry, I’m not referring specifically to you, but… people like you.”

A hint of doubt flashed through Audrey’s beautiful blue eyes.

“Can’t provide recruitment? Isn’t this a recruitment center?”
