When the three mages heard Donald mention this topic, Dinah, who was more anxious, was about to leave with his sleeves up, and Donald hurriedly said, "It's not too late for the three of you to leave after listening to me!"

Mage Murray, who was more stable among the three and had always played the leading role, heard the words and grabbed Dina and another mage, Russell. In any case, with Donald's identity and strength, several of them should also be given a certain amount of respect.

Donald smiled gratefully at Murray, and then said, "I was able to provide the three of them with the potions and materials they needed for cultivation every month, as well as two pieces of spell equipment that each person has, an alchemy item, and a number of one-time items. As for the books needed for cultivation, my private library is more abundant than the books in the clubhouse, and there are dozens of advanced texts copied by the Kingdom Mage Guild. ”

Donald promised these generous treatments, which Murray and the others could not get under the mage's guild and other nobles. But although these three are tempted, they are still not ashamed of this betrayal of themselves.

Seeing that the empty words were difficult to convince the three mages, Donald took them to the library of the manor villa and let them see his collection with their own eyes.

After coming to the field, the three mages were shocked that Donald, who had only been a mage for half a year, could collect so many spell books. And looking at the names of the catalogs above, in addition to most of them being owned in the mage club, there are dozens of ancient spell books that are very advanced to them.

Seeing that the three mages were all stunned by their library, Donald motioned for them to take a look at it as they pleased. The contents of those precious books were relatively difficult, and even a silver mage like his teacher needed to read them carefully to grasp them, and the three of them did not get any practical gains in a short period of time. What's more, Donald has applied protective spells one by one on these books, and the materials used are also of the best quality, which are not easy to damage, and there will be no loss after a few glances.

After a while, Donald continued:

"Don't think that this is selling the dignity of the mage, those mages who are forced to live and devote themselves to the nobility are just trying to live a better life, this is a personal choice, and outsiders cannot interfere. But in addition to being a nobleman, I am also a mage, and if there is a mage who is stronger than you now wants to recruit you to become a mage's assistant, will you agree?"

Murray, led by the trio, was opening a precious book called "The Evolution of Ancient Arcane to Spells", and when he heard Donald say this, he couldn't help but answer:

"What Master Donald said makes a lot of sense, but our own choice, outsiders shouldn't be able to interfere!"

Donald saw that they were already a little loose, so he struck while the iron was hot and said:

"Of course I won't force the three, so if this last condition can't make the three of them tempted, then this matter is over today, and I won't use this question to harass the three again!"

The three mages all put down their books and stood up, waiting to see what Donald would say.

"I've asked other mages, including my teacher, about the situation of the three of them, so I know better, I think you took the wrong path at the early stage, which is why you stayed at the peak of Black Iron for so long and couldn't advance. My condition is that you become a bronze mage. ”

Speaking of this, Murray and the other three mages couldn't help but get excited.

"Is what Master Donald said true?"

"In the name of the mage, what I said is naturally true. ”

...... A few minutes later, the three mages decided to accept Donald's offer to become the personal mages of the Merlinna family, teaching apprentices. The reason why he was able to successfully accept it also has a lot to do with Donald's breakthrough to bronze. The three mages who have stayed in the Black Iron Rank for many years are not young, and the eldest Russell is forty-five years old, but he has never given up, which shows that he is determined on the path of mage.

The three of them had nothing to ask for but spells, so under the condition that Donald could lead them to the path to advancement and help them in the future, in addition to the basic treatment, the three mages decided to stay with hope and fighting spirit.

Then Donald said to the trio:

"To be honest, I have at least three ways for you to rely on external forces to directly promote to bronze, the first two are relying on props and medicines, and there is also a way to correct your path, fill in the previous shortcomings, and have a chance to let you advance on your own. The first two methods are easy to implement and are guaranteed to be successful, but I don't recommend you to choose these two methods. After all, relying on external forces is not as good as the benefits of allowing you to advance on your own, so it is possible to go further in the future. The last method, though difficult and requiring your own efforts, will be hugely beneficial if it succeeds!"

At this moment, the three mages felt even more fortunate for this decision, and having such a master who thought about them dispelled the depression that they had to devote themselves to in their hearts.

With the three Black Iron Mages taking turns lecturing, and Donald himself would take the time to teach the apprentices, the four mage apprentices quickly got into the role. Especially the eighteen-year-old adult apprentice, he also knew that he was short on time, so compared to the other three children who were not very sensible, the harder he studied, the faster he naturally improved.

In just half a month, that adult apprentice had already released the first zero-level trick light technique and became an official mage apprentice.

At that time, it was Donald's turn to give a lecture on how to sense magic and arrange it, and the one chosen as an example was the simplest and most commonly used zero-level spell, Luminance.

After half a month of study, these apprentices have basically mastered how to control their emotions and conduct shallow meditation steps, and the next step should be to master the correct steps of casting spells.

Who knew that after the adult apprentice had finished explaining the basic steps of how to cast the light spell and his own feelings, a faint but holy light bloomed in the hands of the adult apprentice at the end of the temporary spell classroom in the Lord's Palace.

Donald, who witnessed this scene, was immediately pleasantly surprised. I didn't expect that there would be a genius mage apprentice in my territory!

"Your name is Stone, isn't it?"

Faced with Donald's questioning, the adult apprentice, who was one year older than Donald, replied in an excited and somewhat uneasy trembling voice:

"Yes, my lord!"

"Congratulations, you've succeeded in becoming a mage apprentice!"

The adult apprentice was stunned for a moment, and then ......, "I'm a mage apprentice?" haha! I'm a mage apprentice......

Watching this excited singing and dancing, Donald couldn't help but think of the day he became a full-fledged apprentice. I was so excited.

"Okay, you're just a mage's apprentice, and you may become an even more powerful mage in the future. ”

Seeing that this emotion calmed down a little, Donald opened his mouth and said:

"The name stone is really not suitable for a mage, who else is in your family?"

"Lord Hui, I am the only one in my family, my father and mother died early, and I was raised by the uncles and aunts in the village. ”

Donald's heart is better for orphans, there is nothing to worry about, it is easy to cultivate, and you can also have a sense of belonging to yourself.

"In that case, I will officially take you as an apprentice today, and take the first two syllables of my family as your name, and from this day onwards you will be called Merlin!

When Merlin's apprentice heard this, he was almost stunned by the happiness that followed.

"Lordship...... People!"

Donald turned his face and said, "What else is your lordship?"

Merlin reacted immediately, and exclaimed respectfully and gratefully:

"Teacher!"

Then there was a not-so-orthodox mage ceremony.

Donald saw that this guy reacted fairly quickly and was not a fool, so he nodded with satisfaction and said:

"That's the end of today's lesson, you go back and study hard and try to succeed like Merlin. Now Merlin, come with me!"

In the envious eyes of the other three children, the new mage apprentice, renamed Merlin by Donald's evil taste, left with the lord, and did not even pay attention to the arrival of the oncoming mage Murray.

Donald was very happy to accept his first apprentice, first taught him a bunch of standard principles for mages, and then gave him a mage robe as a promotion gift.

The next day, he took Merlin to meet his teacher. Messer was very pleased with Merlin, who was simple and flexible. At this point, Merlin is considered to be the heir of their faction, but this guy himself doesn't know. Of course, the formal inheritance will not be taught by Donald as a teacher until Merlin has established a solid foundation and become the peak mage of Black Iron. By that time, Donald himself was probably no less than Silver Strength, and it was naturally very easy to guide a disciple at the peak of Black Iron.

While Donald was concentrating on teaching his disciples, Ferdinand came to Dalaran again to make a deal with Donald.

This time, in addition to those potions, Donald also provided a number of items that had already appeared in the auction. Including the kind of moonshine elf wine that has now caused a sensation throughout the kingdom.

"I really don't know what your head is made of, you can even make this kind of thing! You must know that even when it was the Ancient Magic Empire, such a potion that could improve human talent could only be made by ** master or above, and the materials were also very precious and scarce, at least the materials of the level of dragon blood could exert such an effect!"

Of course, Donald would not tell the other party how he accidentally discovered the configuration of this moonlight elf wine, and even if he was a friend, he would not confide in each other all his secrets.

What's more, this moonlight elf wine is still the most important money-making tool for himself, and the funds needed for the development of the territory after a period of time will all depend on it.

After the deal was completed, he also asked Ferdinand about the identity of the silver-haired old man behind the Kinsol auction house.

Ferdinand heard Donald ask about the identity of the man, and said with some surprise:

"Have you dealt with that old fox?"
