"Thank you very much!

You may not understand why a businessman like me would go to great lengths to make his children become mages.

But I can tell you that this is a shortcut to change the fate of the family.

As a merchant, I was rich, but I was forever looked down upon by the nobles who stood tall.

Even a poor nobleman who could not even afford to eat could justifiably ask me to pay homage to him, simply because of his noble blood.

To tell you the truth, I aspire to change my status and that of my family, and to gain the respect of others, especially those of the nobility.

However, it is difficult to do this, and there are usually only two ways, one is to become a member of the nobility through military merit, and the other is to become a noble mage.

Unfortunately, none of my children have the qualifications to become warriors, priests, or paladins, so there is no way to go.

Even if they had the talent for it, I wasn't going to risk their lives at any time to fight the damned orcs, gnolls, kobolds, trolls, and undead.

Only the youngest daughter, Jenny, showed extraordinary intelligence at a very young age, and it took other children years to learn to read and write, and she did it in just four months.

I have always believed that she will be the one who will change the fate of my family, and I am willing to give everything I have for this. ”

With that, old George put down his glass, stood up, bowed respectfully, and asked Jenny to stand up and salute as well.

Although the girl didn't understand her father's good intentions at all, she was well-behaved, so she put down the soup bowl and whispered thank you.

"Change your fate......

Zhang Cheng looked at the businessman with a strong unwillingness in his eyes with some distraction, and suddenly understood something.

As mentioned earlier, the human society of Azeroth is a typical feudal society, and the nobles are the ones who stand at the top of the pyramid.

Although the merchants were wealthy, their social status was far inferior to that of the nobles, and they even had to accept all kinds of disguised exploitation and exploitation at any time.

The most typical example of this is the failure of Stormwind officials to pay the Masons Guild, which eventually became unbearable and chose to launch an armed uprising to protect their interests.

This is true for one's own people, and even more so for those merchants who walk between towns and countries.

Perhaps only by building up armed plutocracy, like the goblins, can those who spy on the wealth of merchants be restrained.

What if you have money but no sense of security?

The answer is simple, use money to change the class and make yourself one of the rulers.

After thinking about this clearly, Zhang Cheng involuntarily smiled and shook his head, and sighed softly: "You made a decision, a dangerous decision.

You must know that going from apprentice to mage requires countless trials and temptations, which are not much safer than being an Alliance soldier, and even more dangerous than being a soldier of the Alliance, not that being smart is enough.

Due to the frequent use of magic, the area around Dalaran is far more fragile than the rest of the world.

This means that the demons of the Burning Legion, the life of the Void, and some evil forces that cannot be described in words, may reach in at any time and affect a mage or apprentice.

Are you sure you want to leave your daughter in such a place just for the possibility of becoming a mage?"

In fact, if it weren't for the parchment scroll that gave him a simple career template and a lot of magical knowledge, he wasn't sure if he would have been able to start from scratch and survive the treacherous apprenticeship.

"That's right! It is precisely because of humility that we pursue greatness, because we are short, we pursue eternity, and because we are weak like ants, we pursue power like gods. Didn't the human mages at the beginning continue to study and learn in such an atmosphere, and finally surpassed the upper elves and forged the status of the Dalaran Magic Kingdom? Now, I am also willing to use Little Jenny to gamble on the future and fate of the family. Old George replied categorically.

"Well, hopefully you won't regret the decision you made. Now moving on, what else do you want to work with me? Seeing that the other party had made up his mind, Zhang Cheng decisively chose to change the topic.

Never having a pointless argument with others is one of his few strengths.

Because at a very young age, he learned a truth, that is, never try to convince others with words, especially a person with a complete outlook on life and values.

Only harsh reality and failure can make a person change himself.

Old George hesitated slightly, and quickly spoke: "I want your help to see if I can get more alchemy potions, especially healing potions." You must know that whether it is Stormwind City in the south, the Valley of Refuge in the Arathi Heights, or the town of South Seas, they all face various threats. In order to save the lives of those experienced veterans as much as possible, many commanders were outgoing on dangerous missions, and when they were out on dangerous missions, they were dispensed with two bottles, which were consumed so quickly that there was a serious shortage. ”

"So you're going to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune?"

"No, it's not my purpose to make money, my purpose is to see if I can recruit a few reliable warriors to escort my caravan. ”

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope.

George Sr. probably had been infiltrated by syndicate spies once, and he no longer wanted to trust the temporarily hired guards, so he actually got the idea to the army.

"Hehe, this time you are the right person, I myself just happen to know a little alchemy, as long as you can get the Tranquility Flower and Silver Leaf Grass, I will be able to prepare a batch of primary healing potions within a few days. How is it, are you interested?" asked Zhang Cheng with a smile.

"What? You still know how to make gold?! That's great! No problem, I'll borrow one from an acquaintance right now. Also, if you need any herbs, be sure to make a list and I'll do my best to raise them. As for the price, I guarantee that it is three times the purchase price of the Kenrito Council. Old George excitedly offered the conditions.

Zhang Cheng didn't even think about it, and nodded directly in agreement: "Yes, I accept your offer." In addition to the calming flower and silver-leaved grass, you also need a little root grass and swift grass. Also, if it's convenient, get me some herb seeds. ”

Obviously, the reason why he agreed so happily was not for money at all, but to prepare for leaving.

After all, all the raw materials for the alchemy recipe are produced in Azeroth, and once he returns to Earth and loses the raw materials, the alchemy profession will be useless, unless he can bring the seeds back to be cultivated artificially.

"Seeds, are you going to breed them artificially?"

"Yes, what's the problem?"

Old Joe hurriedly waved his hand: "No, there's no problem." As far as I know, it seems that only the druids know how to cultivate herbs, and I need to take some time to inquire. ”

"Then go quickly, I'll wait for your good news. Zhang Cheng took the last bit of wine from his glass, got up and walked towards Garrick's location......
