Chapter 388: Common Things
"Take an apprentice, give it to me, a wild mage whose spell list is not filled, why don't you teach it yourself, or does the other party dislike you for being old and wasteful?"
"....... he wants to learn from me......, I'm still looking for you?!
The white-bearded old man detonated in an instant, he knew that the person in front of him couldn't chat, and he could be angry with a word.
But seeing the situation on the other side, Rorschach hesitated a little.
It's not that he suspects that the other party has any conspiracy........ he regarded all those who took the initiative to come to the door as a conspiracy from the beginning, this kind of similar victim paranoia may be a bit overreacting, but now the situation is special, safety first.
What he hesitated was that the performance of the other side was somewhat real, and it seemed to be a real commission.
"What's going on? ”
Sitting on the edge of the bed with a big grin, Rorschach decided to listen to the other side again.
The old mage could only restrain his spirit and explain it to this guy well.
It turned out that the old mage had a nephew who was studying here, and he was already a qualified second-order spell caster at a young age, so if he wanted to further his education, he naturally needed a mentor.
Originally, he could have found a suitable alchemist as a mentor under the introduction of the old mage, well, he is an alchemist.
But alchemist, a branch of mages, although it is relatively easy to make money, is also suitable for the needs of employment and the development of the times, that is, the combat power is probably the weakest of all mages, and many modern alchemists do not even study attack magic.
And for some reason, the young man embarked on the road of war in pursuit of power, and he himself was very confused, but talent and character determined the most suitable development path, and it was neither cost-effective nor realistic to take another path.
Now that he heard that there was an alchemist who had won against his uncle head-on, he was naturally overjoyed, so he forced his uncle to show his old face and come here to seek a teacher.
"I haven't planned to take an apprentice yet, my own studies haven't finished yet, and you don't know that my own spell slots are not filled, so what can I teach people. ”
What Rorschach said was also the truth, and he was a little inexplicable from the fifth order, what to teach people.
If you throw it to Anthoreen, the growth rate must be fast, but there is also a high chance that you will hang up directly, that is, you will learn to become a battle mage who is probably not very popular with the mainstream society of the Mage Country.
"I understand, but my child doesn't understand......"
Thinking of his children, the old man can only show his old face now.
Originally, there were still grievances between the two, but it turned out that the young man Rorschach stepped on the old man's position, as long as the old man himself could see it, it was nothing.
Accepting apprentices or something is very common in Ash.
It is very common for swordsmen and warriors to teach combat skills, after all, anyone can learn basic combat skills, and there is no need to go to apprenticeship if they learn well.
But the apprenticeship of the mage profession is very cautious, and there are basically no accidents, which can be regarded as a road bound.
Both of them knew that such an important matter could not be decided in a short period of time, especially since Rorschach was still a wild mage without a magic community.
And even if it is a successful apprenticeship, you must start with an apprentice.
And what the old mage asked was probably to meet first and see how the situation was....... he probably hoped that after the child understood the situation, he would not apprentice.
Of course, as a person who came to ask for help, Anthony also expressed his sincerity.
"As long as you are willing to meet him, I am willing to pay all the compensation for the losses after the last battle, aren't you looking for a magic club now, how can the old man live here for more than forty years, and the old face is still a little useful. ”
In the end, Rorschach agreed to meet him...... You can have a lot less debt when you meet, and there's no reason not to say yes.
But as soon as Anthony left, Rorschach went to buy information.
"You know it's a stingy guy who is willing to pay for me so easily, there must be something wrong with it. ”
It's still the same society that "there are no secrets in this world", and they obviously also work part-time as a trader of intelligence, and Rorschach only spent 100 gold coins to buy the information of that nephew...... This price shows that it is not a secret at all, but Rorschach does not have a free channel to inquire.
By the way, he also asked about the price of his information.
Don't say it, the other party really made an offer.
"Your Highness Rorschach, your true identity and intelligence are worth 120,000 gold coins. The information of the fifth-order mage 'Hemmit', 15 gold coins, if you ask us not to sell your information, you can buy it out at three times the price, this is the rule of the industry, there is integrity to have a stable customer base. ”
Well, it's really all about money, but what the hell are these 15 gold coins, am I so cheap.
As for his true identity being known....Rorschach wished that everyone knew that Rorschach was in the land of mages, and that King Baier was a fake.
"How do you know? My true identity has seen through my sub-artifact amulet?"
"Twenty-five thousand gold coins. ”
Well, Rorschach doesn't ask, it's better than any strict defense.
But even if the other party doesn't say it, Rorschach actually has a vague guess.
After all, I have firmly established this key here, and the property corresponding to this key is not ........ vacant property on Third Street, and it is only a matter of time before I find Amira's flower shop.
And from the situation on the side of the wood spirit, corresponding to the ability he has shown, his own identity is deduced, and those messy divination spells, just like the name of the society says, there are really no secrets in this world...... As long as you come up with the price and the price.
In a sense, that nephew's low intelligence is a good thing, if it is really a few thousand gold coins, Rorschach will consider whether it is worth spending this money, and simply push it off for the sake of safety.
But now that the information is in hand, Rorschach is also a little hesitant.
That nephew's name was Moulton, 24 years old (older than Rorschach), a standard 2nd order alchemist for ordinary humans.
He is nothing special, and the pursuit of power is nothing more than the most common reason in this world - hatred.
He was raised alone by his mother, and like most single-parent families, he valued his loved ones, who had died in a mage duel three years earlier.
Mages do not live in a vacuum, there are frictions and contentions, naturally there are disputes, and sometimes the way they resolve disputes is quite straightforward.
The other party is very strong, and the community background behind it is also very strong, and the uncle is already old, and it is impossible to avenge himself.
He is young and has potential to tap, but the combat power of a real low-level alchemist ....... life profession, don't think about shouting and killing all day long.
"So, did he like the way I fought? What a funny kid. ”
Adapted into a TV series, it can probably deceive the plot of some tears, but Rorschach is in a calm mood and even wants to laugh a little....... it's not that he has no sympathy at all, it's just that he has seen too many things like this, Ansolene also often sees the slaughter of villages and the destruction of cities, and the death of one or two relatives will make him empathize, which is really a bit embarrassing for him.
"This is really a pitfall, didn't I have an enemy right away, how stupid would I have to be to agree to such a thing for a little money........ hum! ”
instantly became a fool in his own mouth, and "True Fragrance" was only because the information turned to the next page, which only marked the opponent's race and identity.
"Silver Elf Mage?!Sure enough, they are all a bunch of bastards, and I took this apprentice. ”

In a sense, impulsiveness is a sin.
But from another point of view, if you lose your choice, you will naturally gain something.
At least, after vaguely revealing his thoughts, Rorschach also had a slightly more reliable ally.
The old mage may be old, and maybe this sixth-order combat power is a little watery, but after staying here for so long, many connections and social connections can be used........ most importantly, he has some savings.
More than half of a spellcaster's combat power depends on equipment, and the combat power that a poor and white mage can exert is really limited, and a special mage like Rorschach, who is excessively limited by spell slots, needs enough equipment to exert his combat power.
The most obvious is the Summoning Tree Wall Charged Wand worth 1,000 gold coins in front of me.
The Charged Wand is a new equipment system developed after the formation of magic channeling technology, it is like a spell casting scroll in the old era, and you can use spells as long as you tear it open.
Unlike the Spell Scroll, it can be reused over and over again, with a small magic core acting as an energy engine, directing it to release spells as long as the right amount of mana is inputted.
This charged wand can be used 3 times a day 3 times a day to summon a tree wall, summoning a row of three-meter-high trees as a protective wall, the total number of uses is about a hundred, the better the maintenance, the longer it can be used, but basically no one can use it to the theoretical limit.
A charged wand that can cast a three-ring spell is already considered a high-end product, and it may not be possible to buy it if you have money, and this thousand and a half is far lower than the average market price of five thousand gold coins.
The reason is that the actual combat value of this three-ring magic is too low, and the summoned tree wall is real wood, and the protection against all kinds of attack magic is low, and the cost of the charged wand also limits the effect of his spells, like the great druid waved his hand, a wall more than ten meters high is impossible, and a tree wall more than three meters high is also a bit subtle when used as a fence.
But for Rorschach, the situation is completely different.
"....... with these logs, I have the materials to build and I will never be limited by the materials anymore. ”
The most essential difference between humans and animals is probably that they will use tools and use equipment to enhance their advantages to make up for their shortcomings.
It's just that the situation was special before, and Rorschach didn't have much opportunity to choose equipment.
Now that his abilities have been finalized, and his strengths and weaknesses are obvious, it is natural that it is time to make a big purchase to strengthen his strength.
And when the debt increased to the point that Anthony couldn't afford it, Rorschach also felt that it was almost over, and at this time, his combat power was very different from that of the new mage country.
"Almost, let that kid talk to me. ”
