When the job was robbed...

As an elf, the passage of time is barely noticeable.

50 years, which is quite a long time for human beings, really comes in the blink of an eye in Qiao Ting's eyes.

It took him 50 years to learn many spells of the spiritual system, master the contract magic circle, and study herbs and swordsmanship. As for the bow and arrow skills that every elf must know... Qiaoting spent half a year developing it decisively. After crossbows, bows and arrows are passers-by from now on...

With the big gray-haired squirrel, Qiao Ting walked briskly among the grass in early spring, occasionally picked a herb, and walked towards the tree house of the third elder without slowing down.

"Tomorrow is your coming-of-age ceremony." The third elder looked at the young man in front of him with satisfaction. Although he hadn't fully grown, he could still see the handsomeness of the future. "This time there are 8 adult elves. Some may be one year younger, some may be a few years older, anyway, they are all around 50 years old, you have to get along well with them."

Qiao Ting agreed with a smile.

The third elder sighed, Qiao Ting was good everywhere, and this made him a little worried. Ever since he was a child, Qiao Ting didn't like to play with elves of the same age. When Qiao Ting became his apprentice, Qiao Ting even He was completely immersed in contract research, and had no time to talk to those elves, which led to the fact that the elves of Qiao Ting's generation...don't like Qiao Ting very much.

"Maybe we will all leave one day in the future. At that time, the children of your generation will be the ones who will accompany you the longest, not to mention that there may be your partner among them." The third elder saw Qiao Ting's attitude Disapprovingly, he urged again, "Get along well, do you hear me?"

Qiao Ting blinked, still smiling brightly, "I see, teacher."

Yes know, not I will.

The third elder was really helpless, he waved his hand, "Get ready."

Qiao Ting bowed deeply, "Thank you for your care over the years, I will remember it in my heart."

Then, he pushed the door open and left, looking at the sunshine outside, in a good mood.

"Squeak!" Qiao Mao swept Qiao Ting's face with his big tail, Shi Huhu angry?

Qiao Ting chuckled, he stroked Qiao Mao's head, and said softly, "It's okay, the teacher wants me to take over as his elder, but I don't want to do that."

"Qiao Mao, do you want to see the outside world?"

Qiao Mao tilted his head, curiosity flashed in his dark eyes, the outside world?

"Well, there are people of different races, different appearances, and different things. There will also be interesting, happy, unforgettable, and painful things happening...the place is unparalleled."

Qiao Mao's eyes were full of brilliance, and it screamed in a hurry, hurry up, hurry up!

"Haha~ Don't worry~" Qiao Ting had a kind of high-spirited and carefree, "After the coming-of-age ceremony is over tomorrow, we... can find a chance to slip away!"

The coming-of-age ceremony was held in the courtyard of the Great Elder. Qiao Ting stood among the elves, looking at the fence of the courtyard in a daze.

Since Jolay's death, he hasn't sneaked into the mother tree again.Jolai's death seemed to be a blow to the head, waking him up from the beautiful elf world and telling him that the world was not peaceful.If he doesn't become stronger, and if he doesn't go out, what awaits him is a wasted life, and his years will be lost.

Listening to the vicissitudes of the words of the great elder, the branches and leaves of the mother tree above his head swayed, and Qiao Ting smiled. He spent 50 years looking through all the books related to continental geography, and made a simple continental map by himself. , with a map, take the space earrings that Manya used to store herbs, and bring food and water... That is, the sky is high and the birds are leaping, and the sea is wide and the fish are leaping!

The Great Elder didn't speak for a long time. After briefly explaining what the so-called career choice was, he signaled the elves to enter the mother tree and decide on their real names and careers.

The first elf walked in, and ran out happily after a while, puffing out his chest and proudly saying, "My name is Lamb, and I'm an archer by profession!"

The Great Elder said with a smile, "Good boy Lamb~ then go to our head of guard Rika!"

The elf named Lamb responded excitedly, and ran to Rika happily.

The elder waved his hand, "Next."

Another elf went in.

Qiao Ting stood at the back and watched quietly, because his occupation was basically determined, so he simply walked to the end of the line, and he did not go in until all the eight elves in front came out.

The elf mother tree was still the same, with green spots shining everywhere. He habitually searched for the gray-green spot with double shadows, but unfortunately he still found nothing.

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded, "Your name?"

"Jortin!" Qiao Ting shouted, "My name is Qiao Ting!"

"Jordin, confirm your real name! Start job loading!"

"When the gifted occupation template is detected, the occupation will automatically merge!"

"Professional confirmation!"

"Acquire a hidden occupation—a mask!"

"Load the masked job template!"

"Successful loading!"

"From now on, you will be the masked man, please follow this thorny road and continue the ancient glory!"

"..." Qiao Ting left the mother tree in a daze, and saw Manya standing in front of him looking at him earnestly, "How is it? Is it the contractor?"

Qiao Ting nodded numbly. Facing the joyful Manya and Rika, he set his eyes on the third elder standing aside, and said dryly, "I have some professional questions that I want to ask the teacher."

The third elder frowned slightly, his eyes flashed, and then he smiled again, "Alright, I'll go back and prepare some things first."

After speaking, he left quickly.

Neither Manya nor Rika noticed the abnormality of the third elder. Rika patted Qiao Ting's shoulder with a relieved smile, "Go, child, but before you leave, tell us your name."

"Joe Ting." Qiao Ting said seriously, "My name is Qiao Ting."

"Ah, I see!" Rika touched Qiao Ting's head and said solemnly, "This is the last time I touch your head. From now on, you will be an adult!"

"You have no right to be mischievous."

"I understand, Rika." Qiaoting paused, and finally called out the word he had never said before, "Thank you, father."

Rika laughed loudly, he hugged Qiao Ting heavily, and then gently pushed him away, "Go, we'll wait for you at home."

"Eat the last meal, and from now on, you will start the fire alone."

"Ok!"

The third elder rummaged through the study for a long time with a stern expression, before he found a thin ancient book from the thick literature.

Just as Qiao Ting opened the door and came in, he handed over the ancient book, "Which one of them is it?"

Qiao Ting sighed, "How does the teacher know that I am not a contractor?"

"If it is, I'll know."

Qiao Ting curled his lips. He took the book, and it felt a little difficult to start. He carefully opened the first page, and the target was the Curse Master. After glancing at the written description, he felt his eyes being attracted, he swallowed and quickly scrolled down.

After turning a few more pages, he saw his occupation.

"This is it, Mask."

The third elder frowned after hearing this, "Masquerade... this profession is really..."

Qiao Ting looked at the third elder suspiciously, "Teacher, what's wrong?"

"In the history of our elves, there have been many bad or taboo occupations. Once they appear, they will be reported to the Elf King. Of course, the names of such taboo occupations can generally reflect this. For example, the soul sucker you see, get The elves of this profession can absorb the soul memory and energy of all creatures in the world, and they are very evil existences." The third elder looked at Qiao Ting with complicated eyes, "Of course, as far as I am concerned, although I know it is evil to do so, but ..."

He sighed, "The situation of the elves in that era was not good, and they especially hated humans, so that senior ran to the human world."

Qiao Ting blinked, and forced to hide the joy in his heart. Could it be that he can leave openly and aboveboard after he got a cheating job?Before he could ask in detail, the third elder decisively changed the subject and began to explain the profession of masks.

"Speaking of masks, this profession is neither good nor bad, but if the intention is not right, the consequences will be very serious." The third elder said helplessly, "A mask, as the name suggests, can change your appearance and voice at will. It’s nothing to some ancient races that use their souls to distinguish themselves, but to other races, such as humans, it’s a very deadly ability.”

Qiao Ting's breath became short of breath for a moment after hearing this, the mask... is it a disguiser? !If that's the case, he won't have to worry about his identity when he goes to the human world! !

but……

Qiao Ting opened his mouth and interrupted the words of the third elder, "What is the template for gifting careers?"

The third elder was taken aback, "Gift job template?" He stood up abruptly, "You accepted the gift job?"

"Well, that's what the mother tree said at the time."

"I see, no wonder you turned into a mask..." The worry in the eyes of the third elder was much less, "It's okay if receiving gifts becomes a taboo profession, after all, you don't know what will happen after the gifts you accept are integrated with your own profession. become what."

He touched Qiao Ting's head, and said with a slight smile, "Since it's already like this, you can move to my place tomorrow and think about it carefully, and tell the outside world that you are a contractor, and then...then you can leave."

Qiao Ting suddenly looked up, "Teacher?"

"You want to leave a long time ago?" The third elder said with a half-smile, "As long as there are books related to travel notes in my library, haven't you looked through them all?"

Qiao Ting lowered his head in embarrassment, then he looked up again, his eyes sparkling, "But Manya and Rika will definitely not agree!"

"I do allow you to travel, but I don't know how to get there and what accidents will happen!" The third elder gave Qiao Ting a hard look, and then said helplessly, "Go back and talk to Manya well. Getting along with Rika, the matter of traveling... wait until your strength is almost ready!"

"Okay!" Qiao Ting nodded happily. Since his teacher agreed, why would he sneak away?If you leave without taking some benefits, you will be at a disadvantage!
