Listening to Master Ron read out most of the top of the thousand-year-old empire, Charlie basically knew it by heart.

He said in a deep voice: "Teacher, it shouldn't be too difficult for me to be a pioneer knight. ”

Seeing that Charlie was full of confidence, Master Ron couldn't help but pour a scoop of cold water, "That's just the first step, after this step, there are more difficulties you need to face."

In the past thirty years, the Millennium Empire has been canonized no less than 100 pioneer knights, and there are only one or two knights who have really formed the climate, the largest of which is called the pioneer knight of Troy, who used thirty years of hard work to open up a territory equivalent to an earldom in the barren land, and was given the corresponding title by the empire, his success is not only because he discovered an iron mine overseas, but also because he is the son-in-law of a powerful marquis.

For a pioneer knight, the biggest limiting factor in your strength is resources, all kinds of resources, including money, talent, and connections, if you are still the same Hennes Daxiao, there may be no shortage of resources, now! ”

Charlie shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be a question mark now, I'm just an ordinary person, and I never thought about what wealth I could inherit from my father's family, everything depends on myself." After studying in the Arcane Ring for a year, I feel that the biggest gain is not that I stepped into the threshold of a high-level magician, nor that I invented something that shocked the world with my teacher, but that I have broadened my horizons.

The Arcane Ring is the most efficient and profitable place in the world to make money, why? Because its knowledge system and talent reserve are decades or even hundreds of years ahead of this world, they have a lot of talents that the secular forces do not have, this is a monopoly, a technological monopoly.

I've seen a lot of ways to make money, all kinds of industries derived from magic can make money, it's not too difficult to pick a few of them that suit us, and with the Arcane Ring on the back, there is no problem with talent and connections, the key is to ask people to do it.

It's a pity that I only have one person, I need someone outside to help me, but there are not many people who can make me trust, Brian is one, it's a pity that he is old, and his strength is very limited, think about it, only the teacher is the most suitable, is the teacher willing to help me?"

"What's your plan?" Ron didn't say anything first, Charlie's tirade must have something to think about.

"If the newspaper report is detailed enough, the teacher should know that I have another identity now, 'Devil Seal Carver'. ”

"Yes. Ron nodded, "The more people who know you, the more shocked they become, you have never had any foundation before, and it is a miracle that you can become a Demon Seal Carver in one year!"

"I want to make some money on this......"

"You mean, you want me to help you connect with some business in this area?" Ron frowned slightly, interrupting him, "Charlie, I know that the profit of Demon Seal Carving is very high, and it is indeed a scarce and very threshold business, but I want to remind you: don't ignore your own cultivation in order to make money, strength is far more important than money."

And, if your thinking has only gone so far, I am a little disappointed that one person cannot feed an army, and your idea is a little too narrow. ”

"No, teacher, I don't want to sell my craft, it's too inefficient to make money that way, and I don't have that time, for me, cultivation always comes first. I want to train a group of first-level Devil Seal Carvers, the teacher will help me find a group of young people with clean backgrounds, reliable and good talents, I will teach them how to become a Devil Seal Carver, I need them to sign a master-servant magic contract, work for me for ten years, and at the end of the ten years, I will let them go. ”

Ron was taken aback and asked, "Have you investigated the market here, and can you guarantee that each of them can become a Demon Seal Carver?"

Charlie bowed his head and said, "Yes, I learned a set of methods from the Arcane Ring, I will set up a course, as long as they are willing to learn, there is an eighty or ninety percent chance of becoming the most basic Demon Seal Carver." ”

In fact, the threshold of the magic seal carver is far from as high as imagined, its requirements for talent are secondary, the biggest factor limiting its development is the cost of learning, an ordinary family can not bear the consumption of the magic seal carving apprentice: dip the magic pen, enchantment paper, magic ink, are expensive consumables, the apprentice needs to learn the course is extremely complicated, from herbs, materials, mineral identification, to magic mapping, magic array and magic language, there are too many things to know, just the tuition of the course is very expensive.

The most critical problem is that after investing a lot of money, there may not be 100% output, and if the apprentice cannot be a teacher, it means that the investment in the premise is all in vain, which virtually expands the investment risk. According to the current data on the market, the apprenticeship rate of a magic seal carving apprentice is about 31%, and the average cultivation period is at least five years, and the average personal input cost is about 800,000 gold coins.

These factors are the main reasons for restricting the number of demonic seal carvers.

Ron hesitated, "What kind of gifted apprentice do you need?"

Based on his own experience, Ron quickly walked into a narrow alley.

"It's basically up to the standard of the Haynes Junior Academy of Magic. ”

"Is there an age requirement?"

"Under 35 years old. ”

This is a very broad requirement.

Ron frowned and said he couldn't understand, "If the threshold for Demon Seal Carvers can be lowered to such a low level, why hasn't the Arcane Ring produced a large number of Demon Pattern Seal Carvers?"

Ron quickly found inconsistencies.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from the teacher. Charlie smiled and said, "Actually, it was I who found a shortcut to become a demon seal carver in the arcane ring system, and the teacher should pay attention to some of my modifications: the most basic magic seal carver, let me explain the difference."

The traditional cultivation method is to really cultivate masters, which is why so many basic courses are set up, teaching them to understand the properties and qualities of various materials, teaching them recipes, and teaching basic magic knowledge, so as to ensure that after they accumulate enough experience, they will integrate and combine these things to form a complete system, and eventually become masters in the industry.

The name I mentioned as 'the most basic Demon Seal Carver' is not exact, in fact, it should be called 'Demon Seal Carver'.

They don't need to understand those low-level things, nor do they need a solid foundation of magic, they just need to be familiar with all kinds of magic patterns and master the skills of drawing, and they can produce something.

I made a rough estimate, according to this line of thought, the training cost of a magic seal carving worker is about 100,000 gold coins, and the training cycle is about less than half a year. ”

Charlie uncovered his hole cards and waited quietly for Ron's reaction.

Ron didn't show any excitement or jubilation, which made Charlie feel a little apprehensive and disappointed.

There was silence for a long time, knowing that the atmosphere in the room had become a little awkward.

Ron looked at Charlie with complicated eyes, "Charlie, do you know what the impact this will have?"

Charlie said without thinking: "It will pull the demon seal carver off the altar, it will impact the magic equipment market, and then drive a series of changes, it will eliminate some things, give birth to some things, and its impact is incalculable." ”

"Your eyes are very sharp, but your tone makes me feel very ......" Ron sighed and said, "This is indeed a new way of thinking and perspective, I don't deny its value, and I don't doubt that it will fail." Charlie, do you know why I didn't act really happy?"

Charlie shook his head.

Ron said: "In the mind of a traditional magician, magic is a very mysterious thing, it carries a spirit, it is difficult to describe it in one word, perhaps, well...... Well, I still can't think of a vivid adjective.

It makes people awe-inspiring and fascinating, so magicians are always lonely and proud, and if you want to find a profession that matches magicians from the secular world, the soul fits, I think there is probably only a lone poet.

Never before has a mage thought about the magic industry in such a vulgar, commercial way, and we follow an ancient tradition of passing on magic and magic-related industries from generation to generation as masters and apprentices.

Of course, there may be similar thoughts and desires from businessmen who run the magic industry, but they are not magicians, they do not understand magic, and they especially represent the highest field of magic application.

You're the first magician to be so vulgar, maybe it has something to do with your upbringing! You don't follow the same learning path as traditional mages, and your success is almost impossible to replicate. ”

Speaking of which, Charlie's heart was almost half cold, Ron's attitude was beyond his expectations, he had never touched the heart of a magician, it turned out that this was the state of mind and culture of traditional mages, Charlie was judging whether the promotion of such a set of commercial operations would trigger a violent counterattack by traditional forces.

If Ron is not willing to help him, then who can help him, who can gain his unreserved trust? Is the master-servant contract really omnipotent?

Charlie asked tentatively, "What about ...... What the teacher means is, are you not optimistic about this plan?"

"There's no doubt that it's commercially promising!"

"That'...... Would the teacher be willing to help me implement it?"

"Why not?!" Ron said without hesitation.

Charlie covered his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief, there were countless X eggs in his heart that wanted to gush out, but he couldn't help it, he suddenly thought of an adjective for a traditional mage, which would be very appropriate.

Hypocrisy!

It's just that Charlie didn't dare to say it.

Ron smiled: "Charlie, in fact, I am not very successful in the wizarding world, otherwise I would not have built a botanical garden here." Before that, my teacher didn't treat me very well, and it wasn't until you showed up that I made some noises that I gradually entered his old man's field of vision, slowly approaching his inner circle.

I know my talent and potential, the proximity in front of me is temporary, if I can't continue to make some noise, I will be slowly marginalized, and the reality is so cruel.

I said so much earlier to tell you that you are challenging tradition, you need to be vigilant, and you better not stand in the foreground.

Moreover, after this set of ideas comes out, there will definitely be people who imitate it, those people's industries are bigger, the foundation is better, and it is easy to surpass us, have you ever thought about this problem?"

Charlie nodded: "This is an unavoidable situation, as long as someone suspects, there is no secret in the world that can be completely covered, and we can't eat all the cakes."

Therefore, my suggestion is to delay the leakage of ideas as much as possible through some management methods, and at the same time, during this time, more and more people, institutions and forces will be tied to our warship, and everyone will make the cake bigger together.

When it is really impossible to hide the secret, I believe that we have come a long way, and it will take a lot of effort for others to catch up, and we are the frontrunners, and we don't need to care about the people behind us, it is enough to do our own thing. ”

"Okay! It seems that you have indeed thought it through, and I am waiting for you to come up with a detailed implementation plan, and I support you. ”
