Section 140: Unfair Dealing

This small building of the Skull and Bones Society has a quirky name called "The Tomb".

The south side of the tomb is very large, but there are very few things inside, the most conspicuous are the several notices in the center of the room, on which are sporadically pasted a lot of papers, all with words, some in common language, some in ancient language.

According to Colwin, this is the trading floor of the Skull and Bones Club, and the members of the Skull and Bones Club will write their needs on a piece of paper and paste a notice board if they have a trading need, and if they can provide relevant needs, they will remove the note, and then contact the contact information left by the owner of the note. In order to attract everyone to actively help, some people will deliberately write down the remuneration they can provide, if the reward is attractive, it will not take long to be accepted, those notes that are not taken away for a few days or ten days are often either too difficult, the demand is vague, or the reward is not attractive enough.

For example, this one.

"After consulting the learning skills of the ancient language ability, and confirming that it is effective, you can provide three first-level spells of the Winter God's trance, magic missile, and oil on the soles of the feet. ”

This is a typical example of a disproportionate relationship between what you give and what you want.

Admittedly, magic missiles and oil on the soles of the feet are both very useful level 1 spells, and they are also not taught by Mannheim, but it is embarrassing to limit the god of winter.

Unlike popular gods such as the god of light and the goddess of the sea, the god of winter is relatively out of the way and has few followers, so the restriction of this reward directly rejects more than half of the people, let alone what the owner of the transaction information wants.

Learning skills for ancient language skills.

The ancient language involves all aspects of spells, spells, magic arrays, etc., which can be said to be the foundation of a mage, and the learning skills to improve the ability of the ancient language are naturally very precious, how can it be exchanged for 3 first-level spells like this?

Not to mention that it is still a side god, this transaction can be said to be wishful thinking, so it is no wonder that no one has moved it after being posted on the notice list for more than ten days.

Even some of the old men in the Skull Club could guess who the initiator of the deal was - Danielle Warren, the famous miser and nouveau riche in the Skull.

Only that guy would have the cheekiness to ask for such a deal.

But today there is interest in the deal.

Norman stopped in front of the note, looked at it for a while, and then reached out and removed it.

He had just become a one-star black-robed mage, and he didn't know very well about the value system of the entire mage world, let alone that this transaction was unfair to many people, he only knew that after wandering around the trading hall for a long time, only this note was to provide a reward for spell spells. The other slips of paper offered either other rewards, or only the requirements were written, but not the remuneration.

And the needs on this note he thinks he can do it.

The Skull and Bones Society has no staff, and only the members of the Skull and Bones Club can enter this small building, so some of the work that should be done by subordinates can only be completed by the members of the Skull and Bones Society, and they have adopted a duty system for this purpose.

When Norman took the note and went to the duty room on the west side, a low-key and luxurious study, to find today's duty officer, he found that today's duty officer was his guide, Colwin.

"You're you again?"

Colwin was sitting on the couch with a glass of red wine in his hand and savoring it, but when he saw Norman come in, he stood up and the corners of his mouth curled, "It's me." It's good to be on duty here, I have points to get, and I have good wine to drink, and I like to come and sit when I'm fine. But you, Alan, I didn't expect you to trade the day after you joined, it seems that we have recruited a positive and enthusiastic member this time, which is very good......"

Colwin put down the glass in his hand, took another one, bent down, and poured Norman a glass of red wine.

"Taste, this is Manton Winery's wine, transported from faraway Barnes, and it tastes very mellow. ”

The name Barnes made Norman's heart pause, but his face did not change at all, and he walked towards Colwin.

He had wanted to just put down the note and ask Colwin to give the contact information of the owner of the note, but Lancelot proposed, "Taste this bar and take your time." You have been in too much of a hurry to improve your own strength recently, but the improvement should be all-round, including personal taste, which is not only good for yourself, but also enriches your live broadcast content and attracts more people to watch the ......"

It was also at Lancelot's suggestion that Norman finally did not immediately ask who the owner of the note was, but took a sip of his wine glass according to his words.

Colwin poured him a slightly thick bottom, but he drank it all in one gulp, which made Colwin slightly startled, and then his face was as usual, and he did not show disdain.

"How's this wine?"

"Delicious. ”

That's what Norman really felt, but he didn't feel anything else.

In his opinion, this red wine was the same as all the red wines he had drunk, and there was no difference.

"Your palate is still at a rudimentary level, and you can't tell the subtle differences, which takes a long time of exercise. This kind of exercise is not meaningless, as I just said, this is very beneficial to yourself, because you are now a mage, and you will definitely become a nobleman in the future, and in the communication of nobles, in addition to strength, they also pay great attention to taste, etiquette and other things, if you just have enough strength but do not have the corresponding noble knowledge reserves, then it will only make others look down on you, which is not conducive to your development......"

Lancelot explained again, and Norman realized that there were so many ways for the nobles to do so.

Needless to say, you can win the respect of others by discerning where a glass of wine comes from just by one of your mouths?

Walking with a staggered pace and saluting at the right time can make others appreciate you?

Or even if you have a good dancing skill that Norman doesn't think can make someone fall in love with you?

......

Norman felt that there was something wrong with these nobles, and he couldn't figure out what was worth their obsession with these things that they could not eat or drink, and that were useless in battle.

"The quality of the wines at Château Manton has always been very good, especially last year, with plenty of sunshine and a suitable climate, which made the wines produced at Château Manton last year the best in decades......

Colwin wanted to continue talking, but after seeing Norman's bored look of "what are you talking about", he immediately lost his character, so he had to sigh in his heart, put down his glass, and cut to the chase.

"Are you going to take this deal?"

Norman came to his senses and nodded quickly, "Yes." ”
