Bert and Bonnie looked at Oliver gratefully, and one of them said:

"Thank you Mr. Hill for your care and attention to the three of us, Chris has a teacher like you, I am very happy for him. Bonnie and I will also keep in mind Mr. Smith's teachings, and we will do the three things you asked of Chris, and we will definitely live up to your expectations and care. ”

As he spoke, Petra, who was clearly looking like a parent, stood in a row and bowed three times to Oliver Hill.

As Chris tries to help Buck clean up the table, Oliver laughs and blasts Chris away, and after saying goodbye to each other, the three of them return to the residence at 2 p.m.

The three of them lazily spread out on the sofa, chatting about today's exciting experience and harvest. After all, for the brother and sister who have just become extraordinary, they have not yet passed the excitement period.

"Bonnie, how are you feeling right now?" asked Bert, turning his head.

"I just feel like my head is empty, and I don't feel much, Bert, what about you?"

"Oh, I can hear some faint sounds now and then. ”

Looking at the two who immediately looked nervously at them, Bert immediately explained:

"It's much quieter than in the morning, and most of the time you can't hear what they're saying, so don't worry. ”

"It's still Chris's extraordinary ability. Bonnie shook her head and sighed, "Not only has my brain become smarter, but there is no bad influence, and my extraordinary abilities are better than me and Bert." ”

Chris smiled wryly:

"I almost choked to death, and you didn't perceive your extraordinary abilities, did you forget the contents of the note?"

Immediately after, Chris sat up straight and looked at the two people beside him:

"Bonnie, you have a great talent for medicine now, and you will definitely become a great doctor in time. Bert was also able to learn some ritual knowledge and ritual magic by listening to the complicated whispering. ”

Then he looked at Bert with some concern:

"Although the main extraordinary ability of the 'listener' comes from listening, do not listen to the evil whispers, do not understand the meaning, and do not be deceived by the promises of the devil. ”

Bert looked at Chris and turned to look at Bonnie, his eyes warm and firm:

"Don't worry, I'm measured. ”

Although Chris occasionally saw some strange creatures and heard some unusual sounds when he was a child, he didn't understand it at all. When Chris was older, he rarely heard and saw unusual things, which also made Chris breathe a sigh of relief.

But now they are all Constantine, which has studied the occult, which is almost a lingua franca.

Chris stretched out his right hand, palm up, looked at Bert and Bonnie beside him, cheered up:

"We are already extraordinary now, we have to believe in ourselves, and we will be able to go on this extraordinary road smoothly in the future!"

Bonnie immediately got up and grabbed Chris's palm, and there was a little baby fat little blush, and her big blue eyes flashed and said:

"I'm sure I'll be a good doctor!"

Bert then got up, palmed his right hand down, held the palms of the two, and said in a firm tone:

"We will also become great and extraordinary people in the middle sequence, or even in the high sequence! Although this road is dangerous, we will definitely go further and further! Come on!"

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

......

After the three of them cheered each other on, they had a fairly hearty dinner, and the three of them began to frown again, just because Chris mentioned the current financial situation of the three of them at dinner.

"In order to make you feel more relaxed, I was able to drink the potion smoothly today, so I didn't explain many things to you clearly. ”

Chris looked at Bert and Bonnie and said with a sad face:

"The main materials of 'Listener' and 'Doctor' alone cost 500 gold pounds, and both supporting materials were provided by the teacher, I secretly asked Buck, although he did not speak, but quietly stretched out a finger to me, which should be 100 gold pounds. ”

"Ahh

Bonnie looked at the two boys who were looking at her, and immediately whispered:

"It's so expensive. So how much money do we have now?"

Although their aristocratic father is usually lazy and unreliable, he is very strict in family upbringing and aristocratic etiquette.

Chris replied: "Now we only have 15 gold pounds and 9 halsuo in cash, and if there are no other expenses, we will be able to live for a long time." ”

Bert looked at the two of them, thought for a moment, and replied:

"The few antiques stored in the bank, if all of them are sold, should be about 600 gold pounds, and if we are usually frugal, we can support our work after we finish our studies. ”

The three of them looked at each other, and they all fell silent.

The biggest problem now is that they will not only live in the future, but also buy expensive potion recipes and extraordinary materials in the future. Where does this money come from?

"Because the potion recipes on the three sticky notes asked the teacher to verify the authenticity, the teacher said that he had three formulas for sequence 9, and at the price of 200 gold pounds each, a total of 600 gold pounds, he helped me pay for all the materials this time. ”

"Professor Oliver is clearly here to help us, and Mr. Hill is such a kind and generous gentleman. Bonnie said.

"Then next time we'll have to pay for our potion recipes and materials ourselves. Bert said with a frown.

"Hey. Chris sighed and said in a harsh tone:

"The potion recipe for Sequence 8 is between 400 and 500 gold pounds, and according to the ratio of the formula and material price of Sequence 9, it is estimated that the price of the main materials of Sequence 8 is also around 500 gold pounds, and the auxiliary materials should not be less than 100 gold pounds. ”

Looking at the two of them with the same sad faces, Chris continued:

"In other words, the three of us need a total of 3,000 to 3,300 gold pounds, and maybe even more......"

That's a lot of money!

Even ordinary rich people can't take out so many gold pounds for a while!

Bonnie cried and mourned, as if frightened by this astronomical figure, and stammered a little:

"We ...... Are we going to be paupers or beggars?"

Looking at Bonnie, who was about to cry, Chris hurriedly comforted:

"The teacher told me that he would lend us money, so we still have time. When we all graduate from college, we will find high-paying jobs! By then, the three of us will be slowly paying off our teachers. ”

Bert thought for a few seconds and said:

"According to the high salary of 3 to 5 gold pounds per week for a senior doctor, lawyer, designer, banker in Fedrenburg, if we want to buy the potion recipe and extraordinary materials of Sequence 7 again. I don't think we're going to be done in this life. ”

The average skilled worker in Federenburg earns only about 1 gold pound per week, and the average civilian worker also earns about 1-2 gold pounds.

Most of the low-income workers earn between 10 and 16 halsos a week, with young and middle-aged men preferred, but they often work more than 12 hours a day.

For women who have difficulty finding work, the maid who eats and lives can get 3 to 6 halsos a week, and the tired lead and glaze women will not be paid more than 8 halsos a week, which is less than half a pound. Not only do they have to pay for their youth and health, but they also receive a weekly wage that is much lower than that of male workers.

The high salaries of high-ranking doctors, lawyers, designers, and bankers of 3 to 5 gold pounds a week have allowed them to maintain a decent life, which can be regarded as the first step into the middle class.

Bonnie looked at the green lotus dress on her body, and said reluctantly:

"Big deal, big deal I won't buy new dresses and pastries in the future, and I won't eat chocolate candy anymore. Well...... I don't think chocolate tastes good at all. ”

Chris rubbed Bonnie's soft blonde hair and chuckled softly:

"No one can be short of the only lady in our family, the lovely and beautiful Bonnie. You and Bert don't worry, I'll figure out the money. ”

The next day, Monday morning.

After sending the siblings to public school, Chris drove to the university on the South Side.
