Chapter 24 Food Planning
Two hours later, when Weina led Laurent back to the Mage's Tower, Lide stopped the lecture.
The apprentice's notebook was already full of thick half of it, and these rookies were eager to record every word of Li De's words.
"Okay, that's all for today, I'll try to spend half a day every week to teach you, remember, more practice, especially meditation, is the foundation of a mage.
Hard work will pay off, don't think about becoming a great magician in one step, record the questions you don't understand, and ask me questions next time"
This group of mage apprentices was almost carried away by the sudden surprise, and they were able to teach for half a day a week?
Lord Li De is so merciful.
We know that Lord Li De has tested us in the past three years, long live Lord Li De.
Li De looked at this group of apprentices who were only seventeen or eighteen years old, and shook his head slightly.
Since the establishment of the Scarlet Mage Tower, a total of 25 mage apprentices have been recruited, and 3 of them have died due to magic backlash in the middle, and now there are 22 mage apprentices left in the Scarlet Mage Tower.
Among them, there are three of the most qualified, his maid Weina, who has always dressed him, Karui from a small aristocratic family, and Cohen, who was born into a commoner family.
But according to his estimates, it will take at least a year for these three to become full-fledged mages.
I have to say that the official website of "Glory" positions the difficulty of mages as ten stars for a reason, and it is extremely difficult for these natives to learn magic.
If you want to gain something from the mage apprentice in a short period of time, you still need to continue to invest.
"It looks like it's time to take on another batch of mage apprentices"
In the Mage Tower, the mage apprentice is the private property of the owner of the mage tower, and some ruthless mages will even use the mage apprentice for magic experiments.
Therefore, after this group of mage apprentices entered the Scarlet Mage Tower, it was Li De's property.
Later on his plans will require a large number of talents, and these mage apprentices are undoubtedly a very good investment.
Recruiting mage apprentices in Grimm City is very simple, just let the news out, and the next day someone who arrives will be able to break through the door of the magic tower.
The knowledge of this world is monopolized by the aristocracy, while magic is monopolized by the mages, and ordinary civilians have no access to these two things.
Once there is an opportunity to recruit mage apprentices, it means that they may step into the class of noble lords and mage masters.
No civilian can resist this temptation.
As for selling oneself to the Mage Tower, this is nothing, knowledge and magic are worth more than life.
"Master Li De, the contract has been bought, according to your meaning, I have filled in the contents of the contract, and now you only need to input a trace of mental power to complete the contract."
Wei Na was wearing a long blue mage robe and stood quietly in front of Li De.
The waist-length blonde hair curled slightly, and the delicate face and watery blue eyes made a group of mage apprentices swallow subconsciously.
The goddess of magic is above, and Miss Vina is beautiful again.
Li De nodded and reached out to take the contract.
An ancient parchment scroll with dense universal characters written on it, Li De used his mental power to understand the meaning of the contents of the parchment scroll, and there was no problem.
After leaving behind a wisp of spiritual power, the parchment scroll shimmered with a milky white light.
Then the light disappeared, and when I looked at the parchment scroll again, those generic words had already merged with the contract, and even if I scraped it with a washing knife, I couldn't remove it.
If someone betrays the contract, the priest who has contracted to the god of justice after obtaining the temple of the contract will use divine magic to determine the authenticity.
Once one party really violates the contract, then it will be punished by the god of the contract, as for what the punishment is, Li De doesn't know, anyway, it's very powerful.
Reach out and hand the parchment roll to Weina.
"Help me put it in the study, Laurent, and now you're a member of the Crimson Mage's Tower.
I officially appoint you as the president of the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce and continue to help me manage the Chamber of Commerce. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Laurent to salute, Li Dexue snapped his fingers very handsomely.
The Mage's Hand appears out of thin air.
After a few days of familiarity, the magic of the first and second rings has been thoroughly understood by him, and the simple magic of the mage's hand can be instantaneous.
This greatly satisfied Li De's curiosity about magic, and at the same time raised more interest, and this time he came back for another purpose to seriously study magic.
After entering the hall, the oak box that Li De was casually still on the side was opened by the mage's hand.
"Wow~"
"A lot of Kimpuk"
"This ......."
When the crate full of kimpuk shone with a sparkling golden light, everyone exclaimed.
Kimpuk's charm is unstoppable.
Even Laurent, who was accustomed to seeing money, held his breath, he had used this kind of oak box, and there were at least 2,000 gold Puck in it.
2000 kimpuk, his life savings are only 1000, and he was robbed by the damn orcs.
This wealth is enough for ordinary people to live a luxurious aristocratic life, and they can squander their lives unscrupulously.
"Lord Li De, this?"
Li De looked at Laurent's shocked expression and was very satisfied.
Is this shocking? Li De thought with some wickedness, he still had 9 boxes of such oak boxes, and there were also a batch of gemstone antiques that were more expensive than Kimpuk.
If this guy knew about this, I don't know what his expression would be?
"Well, this is start-up capital for the Chamber of Commerce.
Now, I'll give you the first thing."
Laurent's heart has become hot at this time, and with this fund, he can completely develop the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce into a bigger one.
Maybe in the distant future, I can compete with the castle lord's chamber of commerce, goddess, please forgive me for my arrogance.
Thinking of this, his blood immediately surged.
"Lord Leed, please command, Laurent will work for you with her life"
"No, you should keep your life for yourself, I'm not one of those stingy nobles.
I need you to exchange all these 2,000 kimpuks for food in a month, no, half a month."
Swap for grain?
Laurent looked at the entire box of Kimpuk in front of her, and she didn't understand Li De's thoughts.
Although the Orc Empire invaded the borders, the southern region was the region that produced the most grain after all.
Even if the price of food will rise, the nobles have already received the news that the price of food has risen, and it is a little late to enter at this time.
"Master Li De, if you want to buy grain and wait until winter before selling it for a profit, I have to warn you.
Those nobles have already controlled the price of grain in Green City, and we will probably not be able to make money this time."
Although he didn't want to do what he directly refuted Li De, as a senior businessman, Laurent still didn't want his backer to do such unprofitable things.
And there is no small risk here, food is too important for Greentown, which is in the midst of war and is about to enter the winter moon.
Li De nodded slightly, he could still have his own opinion under the orders of this senior mage, and this businessman's mind was quite clear.
It is not a joke that the mage standing at the top of the pyramid has been killed casually for angering the mage, and few people dare not be in awe of the bloody lesson.
This world is not modern, the superior controls the absolute power, and it is not a matter of killing individuals.
"It's good that a businessman should stick to his point of view in what he is good at.
But this time I don't plan to make money from food, I have other arrangements for this batch of food, you just need to buy this batch of food in half a month at the most suitable price in the fastest time, and you don't need to worry about other things. ”
Hearing Li De explain the reason, Laurent's heart was slightly relieved, and he was already mentally prepared to be reprimanded, but he didn't expect that his backer was far more tolerant than he imagined.
"Obey Lord Li De, 2,000 gold parkk, no, after deducting the 200 gold park owed to the Green City Chamber of Commerce, I will exchange the remaining 1,800 gold park for you in the shortest possible time"
