"I have to say, this decision of yours is really bold, to give forty percent of the store's revenue to a low-level mage like me at once?" Gordon was surprised by Douro's decision. He couldn't see where the courage and determination of this honest little boss came from.

"I believe in my own vision, and if I look away, I can only count myself unlucky." Douro spread his hands and smiled easily, "You know, although I am blessed, I am still an adventurer in my bones. For the former Fire Hammer warrior Douro, life is an adventure. In order to be able to live a comfortable old age, I don't mind giving it a go. ”

"In that case, it's a pleasure to work with, Mr. Douro."

The young mage was in dire need of money to improve his life and repay his loans. The middle-aged shopkeeper wants to become a monopoly and doesn't mind taking risks, and the two can be said to hit it off.

However, the specific matters of the partnership still need to be discussed slowly.

The two spent an afternoon in their small study, drew up the terms of their cooperation, and then went to the temple of Eracis, the god of law.

In this all-marble, majestic and majestic building, like Gordon's world's highest court, Gordon and Douro signed a contract in the presence of the pastor.

From then on, Gordon was not only able to sit on 40% of the income from the "Douro's Treasure Chest", but also had Durro provide him with various alchemy and enchantment materials for free. Of course, the finished product made from the materials supplied by Douro must be sold in the "Douro Treasure Chest".

After walking out of the Temple of Eracis, Gordon, who had just been promoted from a broken aristocrat to a bourgeoisie, was in a good mood, and Duro was even more excited, pulling Gordon into a high-end restaurant called "We Only Make Seafood", saying that he wanted to celebrate.

Lemon cod, rosemary lobster, garlic-grilled oysters, special seafood risotto, and a large bottle of cherry brandy add to the joyful color.

As a mage, in order to stay sober at all times, Gordon barely drank alcohol. After he took a sip, the remaining large bottle of brandy was almost all killed by Douro alone.

I drank too much, and Douro talked more. From constantly showing off his glorious achievements in wielding a flame war hammer and knocking out the heads of four ogres, to saving enough money to retire on Mingtan Island in the Falling Star Sea, and hiring dozens of golden maids to serve his future prospects, the fat boss chattered a lot, and finally turned the topic to Gordon.

"Gordon, my brother......" Douro said. Since the two established a partnership relationship, Douro's address to Gordon has evolved from "sir" to "brother".

"Your Majestic Wind Ring is truly the work of genius, how many do you think we can sell in Clear Water City? A thousand, or ten thousand? If it's 10,000, that's at least 300,000 gold coins! Ah, 300,000 gold coins, that's enough to buy a barony's land, or bury me alive a thousand times......"

Gordon didn't know why Douro measured the amount of gold coins with the strange calculation of "buried alive a thousand times", but he decided to pour cold water on Douro: "You're too optimistic, my friend. I don't think there will be more than 500 people in Bishui City who can afford and are willing to buy Xiongfeng rings. ”

"Five hundred, so few?" Douro's wine woke up at once.

"The wealthy class with a population of 100,000 and an annual income of more than 500 gold coins is 5,000 people in five percent. Among the 5,000 people, there are almost one-tenth of adult males who have a demand for a male wind ring and are willing to spend money to buy it. "As a veteran gamer, Gordon is quite sensitive to numbers.

He counted on his fingers, and Douro listened intently.

"I'm just counting the permanent population of Clearwater City. If you add the floating population, of course, adventurers and mercenaries are not considered, I mean those merchants who come to Blue Water City to buy ores, furs, timber and other specialties of the Northland, and the potential customers of the Majestic Wind Ring can rise by about three hundred. This is the group of customers that we are able to earn money from in the short term. With the reputation of the ring out, the nobles in the manors and castles around Blue Water City are our next potential targets. ”

Gordon continued to paint a bright future for Douro: "However, as the largest and most barren place in the northern part of the empire, and constantly facing the threat of orcs and barbarians, commerce is not enough, and the place where we can show our strength is in the south. There are more stupid and rich nobles there than the goblins of the barren tundra. On the other side of the sea, a rich desert oasis, a treasure land flowing with milk and honey, the two desert empires, Benlatu and Mulland, fought all year round, and adult men were killed and wounded, and the ratio of men and women was out of balance. It is said that even ordinary commoners can marry four wives, not to mention those nobles with wives and concubines. I'm sure the desert men who are about to be squeezed dry by the women will be very interested in the Heroic Wind Ring. ”

Douro wiped a handful of wine on his beard: "After listening to your analysis, I have a specific idea of the exhibition route of the store. In the past, I was too naïve and too eager for quick success. If possible, I really want to hand over the management rights to you, and I will be a leisurely rich man who collects money every month. ”

"It's just a bad joke, though." Douro laughed. He knew that as a mage, Gordon couldn't devote most of his energy to running the shop.

The two walked out of the restaurant, and Duro untied a money bag from his waist and handed it to Gordon: "This is September's income, you deserve your share." ”

Just after September, Gordon signed an agreement with Douro that will take effect in October. Duro's move is purely to give money to Gordon Bai.

Regardless of whether the other party was trying to further win over or simply show goodwill, Gao Deng, who was short of money at hand, generously accepted the money bag: "Happy cooperation." ”

"Happy cooperation, may the goddess Waujin bless us." Douro waved his hand at Gordon and turned away with a burp.

Douro had a hundred gold coins in his purse, and with the money Gordon had received from Mendoza, he now had a total of three hundred gold coins on hand. Gordon decided to spend all the coins.

To accumulate wealth, open source is much more important than throttling, and he believes that as long as he carefully manages the "Douro's treasure chest", gold coins will soon roll in. It is better to save these gold coins in your hand than to spend them and convert them into personal strength. Gordon needs to learn more spells and read books to gain more experience.

Reaching level 5 and learning the Three Rings spell is a huge hurdle for a mage, and Gordon must cross it as much as he can.

However, after shopping around several famous bookstores in the city with gold coins in hand, Gordon did not find the book he was looking for. He thought about it for a moment and prepared to make a trip to the Mage's Guild.

The Mage's Guild is not a tight-knit organization, and its function is mainly to provide a place for mages to communicate, as well as a trading platform with a guarantee of credibility.

Located in the southeast corner of the city, the Mage's Guild is a half-new, three-story building, which is inconspicuous among the surrounding buildings. This is also in line with the mage's low-key and dislike of noise. There is no text sign at the entrance to the main entrance, only the emblem of Mystra, the goddess of magic. On the emblem, a red mist flowed out of the middle like a river, surrounded by seven blue-white stars.

Gordon stretched out his hand to push open the closed door, and the hanging Mystra emblem immediately opened up a circle of transparent magic fluctuations. Gordon felt like his whole body had been washed by magical aura. There are no strong guards, and there are no bright swords, but Gordon believes that the defensive strength of the Mage Guild will definitely not be worse than the castle lord's mansion of Blue Water City.

Through the long, silent hallway, Gordon made his way to the guild hall. Three or five men in mage robes were gathering in the corner and whispering to each other, small voices echoing through the empty hall.

A young man approached him. Gordon estimated that he should be similar to a role like a receptionist.

"Welcome, master of the Second Ring Arcane, Mr. Third Mage." The young man smiled and said, "You should be coming to the Mage Guild for the first time, do you want to go through the membership procedures, only five gold coins are needed, you can become a full member of the Mage Guild, and you have the right to enjoy the guild's services." ”

When I entered the door just now, I was afraid that the holy emblem had some kind of detection magic attached to it, and with a light photo, the guild staff would be able to know Gordon's level and magical attainments.

Five gold coins was a lot of money for the former Gordon. But this is not what it used to be, and the traveler with money in his pocket readily gives the money to the young man. After receiving the money, the young man handed Gordon a form for him to fill out. Gordon could feel a faint fluctuation of energy coming from the table. I didn't expect such an inconspicuous piece of paper to be a magic item, and it seems that the entrance fee of five gold coins is really not expensive.

The content of the form is very simple, there are only four columns of name, race, rank, and creed. The first three were filled in fluently by Gordon, but in the fourth column, he hesitated. In this world, non-evil spellcasters believe in the goddess of magic Mistra the most, and some other specific groups also have their own unique beliefs. Elven mages generally believe in Corellon, halfling illusionists favor Sahanni, and necromancers who follow the path of order tend to throw themselves into the arms of the Raven Queen.

Faith is a very important thing in this world, because without faith, the soul of a person would be nailed to the wall of the unbeliever after death, and he would be tormented for eternity. The choice of faith is not only related to the code of conduct in life, but also affects whether or not you can enter the kingdom of God after death.

After carefully browsing through the many gods of this crystal wall system in his memory, Gordon wrote "Ion" on the form.

"Oh, so you are a believer in the God of Knowledge and Reason, are you from Candlekeep?"

"No, I'm a native of the Northlands."

The young man nodded and handed the form to the counter. Gordon saw a woman take the form and get it to an obsidian magic workbench. She chanted the incantation, and a crystal ball on the workbench burst into a rainbow of light, and the table vanished without a trace.

"Registration, here's your identity badge." The young man handed a round metal badge to Gordon, "In the future, please come to the Mage Guild in time to update the information after your level is promoted." Need to show you around? ”

"I'm tired." Gordon nodded.
