Chapter 50: First Encounter with Calvin
The interior of the Wind Flame Blue Knife Guild was as magnificent as a palace, and at the end of the dark corridor, a faint white light flashed, just like the wires of the fluorescent lamps were not in good contact, causing the light to flicker and flicker.
Filled with curiosity, Motian quickly followed Amos's footsteps, and at this time Ellie was no longer visible, and Motian guessed that she was likely to deliver today's mission.
At the end of the corridor is the hall of the Wind Flame Green Knife Guild, the hall is very large, probably able to accommodate a few hundred people, and the rows of seats are placed in an orderly manner, but there is no one on it, it can only be decorations.
There is a huge crystal chandelier on the ceiling, but it is dim, like a sleeping princess.
On the wall facing the hallway hangs a large square glass display, and the flashes of light emitted by it.
When Mo Tian saw such a large glass display, he didn't show a very surprised expression, but only slightly flustered.
He was now 100% sure that there must be a lot of time-travelers like himself in the wizarding world, and there must be a lot of them, and some people must have some knowledge in certain fields.
However, these modern things seem to be only popular among the magicians, because Motian didn't find anything like a glass display when he saw the surrounding street scene in the carriage, so he guessed in his heart that the people who might have crossed over were dedicated to serving the magicians.
"Amos, what's this thing called?" Motian asked, pointing to the glass display.
"You say this! It seems to be called an LCD monitor, and it can play pictures, which is quite magical. Amos replied simply.
Hearing this familiar term, Mo Tian was not very surprised.
Liquid crystal is a very complex thing, involving a lot of chemical knowledge and physical knowledge, anyway, Motian feels that he will definitely not be able to do it.
Being able to make it in the magical world, and also being able to present a picture on a liquid crystal, Motian is very curious about this person who has traveled over, even if he is not a scientist, he is a genius.
"Why haven't I seen or heard of this before, when did this kind of thing appear?" Motian asked again.
"When did it appear?" Amos scratched his head as he recalled, "It seems like six years ago! At that time, the Empire sent out a lot of magicians, and any guild above four stars had to install this thing.
It became like this without replenishing its magic power for three days, and I really couldn't afford to raise it, if it weren't for the rules of the empire, I would have wanted to dismantle it a long time ago. ”
Mo Tian smiled lightly, it is true that this thing consumes a lot of magic power, and the light it emits alone is dozens of times brighter than the street lamps on the street, no wonder the crystal chandelier in the hall has been dim.
Since it was ordered to be installed by the Empire, the person who provided this technology would definitely be treated as a guest by the Empire.
It is estimated that good wine and meat are served every day, accompanied by beautiful women, and when he thinks of this possibility, Mo Tian is deeply jealous.
is also from the earth, why is the gap so big, thinking about my life for more than ten years, it's really a tear.
While Motian sighed, Ellie hurried down the spiral staircase next to the hall: "Amos, I'll go out and deliver the mission."
During the time I'm out, keep an eye on the old man, and don't let him do anything out of the ordinary. ”
Amos nodded in response, "I see, you go and come back quickly." ”
With that, Ellie opened the floor-to-ceiling window on the side of the hall and whistled at the sky.
Melodious and high-pitched sounds echoed in the air, followed by a loud thud in the sky.
Mo Tian was shocked, he saw that outside the floor-to-ceiling window, a huge demonic beast was flapping its wings in the air.
"Good guy, level 0 eight-toed winged beast, able to raise such magical beasts in captivity, it is worthy of the mage guild in the capital. ”
The beast had a swan-like neck and huge wings that were fully extended for at least ten meters.
In appearance, it looks a bit like an extinct pterosaur on Earth, but it is more ferocious than a pterosaur.
The eight-toed winged beast has two horns like an ox on the top of its head, and when angry, it can produce lightning between the two horns, which is very destructive.
Among the flying beasts, the speed of the eight-toed winged beast is considered to be at the mid-toper-upper level, and many large guilds will keep one in captivity.
Mo Tian watched Ellie ride on the back of the eight-toed beast and fly in the air, and felt a little envious in his heart.
"Son, don't be envious, when you join our guild, there is a chance. ”
Amos patted Motian on the shoulder and said.
Mo Tian pursed his lips and said, "No envy, no envy." Isn't it just a strange beast, I'll catch a dragon to ride in the future. ”
"Cut! Less bragging, and catch the dragon. A dragon's sneeze can blow you out of nowhere. Amos disagreed, and thought Motian was joking.
Dragons are the top existence in the wizarding world, and even if they are not adults, they have the power to destroy the country, and even the magic gods dare not use it as a tool to ride.
It can be seen how ignorant and ridiculous what Mo Tian just said.
Walking up the spiral staircase, then turning through several long corridors, and opening a black stone door, an old man with gray hair appeared in sight.
He hooked his back, and his long white hair fluttered in the wind, like an old willow tree in the twilight.
It's hard to believe that this is the former leader of the five-star guild, Calvin.
Calvin's eyes were empty and dead, and Motian observed for a long time, and found that he didn't blink once, it was really the same as Ellie said, no different from the walking dead.
"This is your guild leader, Calvin?" Mo Tian said in surprise.
Amos let out a light breath and nodded helplessly against the wall.
What the hell was written in that letter, it could actually make a top-level magician what it is now.
Mo Tian was now more and more interested in the contents of the letter, and thought to himself: Ellie was thoughtful, and she spoke without words, and she kept silent about the contents of the letter.
Then this stubborn thinking Amos can't hide his words.
Mo Tian rolled his eyes, walked to Amos, and said, "I heard Ellie, aren't there still two magicians?"
I heard that President Calvin was born and died brothers, why didn't I see them?"
Amos didn't think about it, and said directly: "You're talking about Uncle Ludet and Uncle Ludden! The two of them happened to be away from home today to deal with some things, and it is estimated that it will take several days." ”
Motian nodded, and then asked, "Then after they leave, if you and Ellie go out on a mission, won't there be no one to take care of you?"
"Hey!" Amos clasped his hands to his chest and tilted his head to one side, "What can I do, if I don't do the task, where will I get the money to keep the guild running?"
Just that eight-toed winged beast, it costs nearly five gold coins to turn off the amount of food every day, and it's all money in one bite!
Then, a guild as big as ours has to pay the Imperial rent and taxes every month, which is all money!
The snake gall cordata task I received today is only ten gold coins, although it is less, but it is also money.
So, don't think that living in the capital city makes you feel superior, but the hardships are several times higher than those of people from border towns like you. ”
After speaking, Amos patted Motian on the shoulder: "Young man, don't fantasize about catching a dragon to ride this kind of thing, if others hear your thoughts, they will think you are a fool."
Hard work is king.
”
Mo Tian was stunned by what Amos said, but he didn't expect that he seemed to be careless and buoyant, but he would have so many feelings.
It seems that my opinion of him will change slightly.
