Sotour's home is in the Commons, the outer ring of the outer city. After all, the boss of a mill is still aimed at civilians.

At home, Sotur hesitated to step forward.

"Sotur, where have you been today, the mill is too busy" came a rough reprimand like thunder from behind him, startling Al.

It was Sotour's father, Mr. John.

"Father. . . I.. "Mr. John, full of dark muscles, walked around Sotour. "It's you, Al. Come in and play. ”

Mr. John, who smelled of sweat, pushed the door in embarrassment. "Come in, Sotur, and beckon your friends in. ”

Sotur hurriedly pulled Al and fled.

Al looked at Sotur sitting on the bed in frustration, and probably understood his troubles. Learning magic is a very time-consuming and money-consuming matter, and with Al's conditions and family support, he can't worship Zefernai Adam. If it weren't for the fact that his mother had a powerful ranger friend who gave him a book, and he went to various houses in a whimsical way to steal books to read, he would have a clear understanding of the various phenomena in the world, so that he could interpret those theories independently. Even so, he still lingers at the door. Not counting the cost of just two months after the separation of the family, even if it used to rely on the family's historical expenses, it is a huge number.

Sotour, the son of a miller, has paid a lot of money to make ends meet, but there is still no return and no hope. Have to face the choice of real life or dreams.

"You are a commoner's son, don't always have those whimsical delusions. I've already backed you for thirty gold coins, isn't my father competent enough?" Mr. John, who had drunk a little wine in the evening, was furious when he saw that Sotur still refused to face the reality and bring a noble friend as a lobbyist.

"Sotur, your dad didn't tell you that he used all the family's savings to support your dreams, and the family doesn't have much money left. A dozen silver coins a day at the mill is not enough for you for half a class. Now you should take up the manly responsibility," Sotour's mother admonished Sotour, kindly and softly.

Sotur couldn't help but cry, "I'm sorry, Dad. I'm not going to learn magic anymore."

Mr. John, who was rough and full of manliness, couldn't help but soften his heart when he saw his son crying bitterly because he had made up his mind to give up his dream. "Sotur, wait a few years later, save some money at home, and then send you there, okay?"

Caught in an inspirational and warm family ethics drama, Al is extremely embarrassed. He comforted his sad friend, thought for a moment, and spoke.

"Sotur, would you like to be an apprentice in the Magic Workshop?" "The Magic Workshop?" the Sotours family looked at Al in amazement.

"Is it the kind of magic workshop that makes magical items?" said Sotour, hoping a little in his heart.

"Well, yes. However, the apprenticeship does not have a salary at the beginning, and if you have the talent, you may be able to take charge of it on your own in the future, and you can earn a lot of money and continue to pursue your dreams. ”

"Really, you can make a lot of money?" Sotur clutched Al's arm excitedly.

"Is it dangerous to sign a contract for a few years?" said Mr. John, who was a miller after all, and was very knowledgeable to ask.

"The contract must be signed. However, I know the owner of the workshop, and I can sign it for ten years, and if Sotur is willing to continue working for the workshop, he can renew it. I can also get Sotur a little less paid every month. Just make something simple, it's not too dangerous"

A ten-year contract sounds long and inhumane. But in Mr. John's opinion, it was all Al's face-saving affection. No matter where the magic workshop is, once you enter it, you will be the private property of the workshop owner for the rest of your life, a slave. But it is the gateway to a mysterious world. And the salary of the workshop is not low, at least there is meat for a meal. So the place where civilians most aspire to work.

At first, Al listened to the governess's statement and couldn't believe it. The prosperity and peace and contentment he saw were limited to the imperial capital of this huge empire, which was industrially underdeveloped and still in a primitive agricultural state. But human society is becoming more and more progressive and powerful. When the idle population increases, most people who do not farm have no jobs, and even if they want to farm, the land is the private property of the lord. The aristocracy would not waste much of their own food. Secretly looking for an ownerless land without the protection of a strong man, it is either a robber disease, or all kinds of vicious beasts and monsters. Therefore, many degenerate nobles treated their people harshly, and no one wanted to run away. On the contrary, the status of the aristocracy is getting higher and higher.

The weak in this world have no rights in the first place. Human life is also the least valuable thing.

The tragedy is transformed into a celebratory party, and Al feels inexplicably sad about the joy of being free and sold into slavery because he was born in an advanced society.

When he returned to his yard and told Bico, Bico naturally would not refuse Al's trivial request.

Born into a family of adventurers, Bico asks to move in to protect her investment partner out of keen vigilance.

"Don't you think that a child who has just broken up, a valet and an old woman who are equally small, a couple of dogs and a cat are very good to start with?

Before he could finish speaking, a cat, Mr. Boone, taught Miss Adventurer to be a new person. When you enter this door, the minion must look like a minion. Even if it's a dragon crossing the river, you have to give it the Night King to be a man lying on his stomach! No, be a slave!

Al, who has never experienced the sinister nature of this world, has always been as good as a stream, and Jue's words are very reasonable. Although she has the secret care of her mother and brother, this hearty and intelligent girl is not annoying. It's also very exciting to occasionally listen to her tell stories about the world of adventure together.

Early in the morning, Bike stretched out in the room facing the balcony on the second floor, looking out the window, Al was already wearing a white practice uniform in the courtyard for morning exercises. One move and one style are skillful and sophisticated, and her breathing is steady and powerful, all of which show that Al is not a simple child in her mouth. But what Bico admires most is her unwavering curiosity and strong execution of her plans. In the past month when he was rushing to work for a big order, no matter how much Bi Ke lost his temper with Al, Al would go to home private training after morning exercise in the morning, and refuse to work at night when the time came, reading books and researching. Attending the apprentices' meetings every ten days, I was interested in interacting with people, and I didn't come back at all. But the next day, I will still arrive home early, exercise in the morning, go to class, work in the afternoon, and study in the evening.

She has seen countless strong people, all of whom possess this persistent quality.

Although Al made a lot of money, he didn't have a single gold coin, and he also achieved negative economic growth. The reason for this is a box of magic gems and the Book of the Third Creation, which is said to have come from a certain ruin. Priced at two thousand gold coins, this book is the most expensive book Arr has ever collected, because it is really from the ancient relics of the gnomes, and it may be more expensive if no one can read it. This book is a typical sale, it will definitely lower the price, sell it cheaply, and if you are unwilling to keep it, you may encounter the spoils of the goods of the knowledgeable people. It is said that gnomes are born with a strong affinity for magic, are intelligent, and love to create strange things. The book was old, reframed, and he didn't know any of the words on it, but the graphics in it Al could guess were mechanical. It's rare for something related to technology to appear in this civilized and backward world, and Al's interest has temporarily overpowered magic. Although Bico had obtained the book for Arso, there was no way to find someone to translate it, and if it had been so easy, the book would have been sold long ago. Even the name "The Book of the Third Creation" was forcibly chosen by the adventuring group for the book.

Today was the last time Al attended the Magic Society's gathering, and now there were only a few people left who had not visited privately, including the Magic Society's president, Lord Hill. These people have an instinctive feeling not to have anything to do with them as well. Even after getting what he wanted, he decided to stay away from them.

But sometimes, the fear of the unexpected always comes last.

"Your Excellency, I have all the listeners who admire your wealth of knowledge and praise your unique insights, can you have the honor of having you as a guest tonight and discuss the charm of the mystery together?" Hill offered to invite Al at the end of the rally.

As soon as the words fell, another straightforward voice interjected mercilessly

"Al has already made an appointment with me," Thun's tall figure loomed over Al like a shadow.

"That's a pity," Hill gracefully gestured and didn't invite any more.

For this mysterious president of the Magic Society, Al really doesn't want to see him at all, and the name of the All Things Are One is too terrifying. Because of Thun's help, Al didn't offend Ciel. After leaving the mansion, he got into Thun's carriage. He has been to Thun's house a few times to talk to him, and Thun's successful experience of standing on high ground has been very helpful to Al, and Thun's novel perspective has inspired Thune. The two became acquainted with each other because of this, and there was the one where Thun relieved Al.

"Watch out for him, he's dangerous. Thun opened his mouth and said to Al, who was looking at the books exchanged. "Yes, I see. Thank you, Thun" seems to be the only one who feels this way.

Today's rally ended early, before it was dark, there were about thirty people in total, and no one was like Al, who was not picky eaters, wanted everything, and did not refuse to come. If you want to exchange, you have already exchanged. Now, in addition to exchanging books, the exchange of various materials has begun.

When he arrived at the Lord's Palace, Thun went to change his clothes first, he was a real nobleman, paid attention to etiquette, and wore different clothes at different times and on different occasions. Al-Al was led by the squire to Thun's study. As I went upstairs, I met Thune's younger brother, Daniel. The cowardly boy stood aside with his head bowed to make way for Al.

In terms of identity, Daniel is the heir of a nobleman and the heir to the throne, much more than the current commoner Allgäu. Al performed a courtesy of a diligent nobleman and made way for Daniel.

"Good evening, Master Daniel, please first. Al really didn't know what to say to this boy who was as tall as him.

"Al. Ben Stoke. Mr.. Hello. "Al came out of his own house, and with Thun's respect for him, he assumed the honorific title of Mr. Daniel.

Daniel stammered past Al, nervously trying to look up, but still didn't, quietly, expectantly.

"Today. . . There are also. There are also. A gift?"

Al remembered what he was asking, and every time he visited Thune and met Daniel, he would bring out small gifts to make the children happy.

"Yes, some" hurriedly turned out the fruit candy that Aunt Miranda wrapped for him from the shoulder bag, which he taught Aunt Miranda to make, and the mold he made in his spare time was also very good in his previous life.

Daniel was very happy to receive the gift, and jumped down the stairs shyly and shyly.

With Thun's help and guidance, Al Shao took many detours, and tonight, under Thun's protection, he successfully built his first spell model with the magic net that was ubiquitous but not easy to open. Unlike the tricks used to play, this is real, magical, first-level spells. This marked his successful inauguration as a mage, a first-class mage.

Thun exited the door, leaving the room to Al, who had just been promoted, to stabilize his connection to the magic net, and use his spiritual power to control and calm the cheering and boiling magic around him.

It was the middle of the night, and Al was sweating and tired from his strong body. The subordinates have long since rested, and Al has no habit of troublesome people. Walk to your room prepared for yourself.

To get to the guest room on the second floor, I had to pass by the bedroom of the master of the lord's mansion, crying, moaning, and unbearable words came from inside. Al pretended not to hear and passed by silently.

"Al, are you awake?" Lord Thun's voice came from behind.

Al was grateful for Thun's loneliness on the magical path, and he turned his head to salute, only to see a naked Thun unconcerned with Daniel, who was seduced by black wire mesh. He hurriedly bowed his head and saluted.

"Yes, Your Excellency Thun. Thank you very much for your help and guidance, and I am willing to be at your disposal at any time" In terms of status, Thun, who helped Al to take up his post at this moment, is equivalent to Al's mentor. If it weren't for the orders of the strongman, Aldu would have to carry them out.

"You're welcome, it's your own talent and hard work, and we're taking what we need. No one knows who will go further down this path. Go and rest at night, for I have commanded that hot water be prepared for you at all times. Thun smiled with satisfaction and turned away, unabashedly swearing in the room again.

"Didn't you scream so loudly just now, why don't you scream now when your mouth is biting and bleeding, is it because you saw Mr. Albenstock?"

Al bent down to see Lord Thun off, took a deep breath, erased the mess from his mind, and forced himself to think about the direction of his advancement.
