Chapter 30 Miscalculated Investments

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The Scroll of the Source Sea contains the General History of the Netherel Empire, with lessons in the Nether language. Kaye tried to translate it alphabetically, but the translation was not readable smoothly. He hadn't had time to study the grammatical structure of Nether from scratch, and the dragon language hadn't spoken Lisso yet. So he went to a professional.

“...... It's amazing, it's different from the known languages. Aston managed to climb out of the drawing board, and he tried to depict the multiverse in the book with flat graphics.

"It's not the language of the Salaphim. Kaye said angrily.

"Oh, some special spellings, overlapping meanings......"

"How long?"

"It takes at least eight months to be fully mastered. ”

"It doesn't have to be complete, it's enough to translate the parts of the newspaper. ”

"That's going to take two days. ”

Receiving a definite answer, Kaye greeted Mina, who was running around the kitchen, and said, "I'll go out for a walk and see if there's anything I can buy." ”

"Go ahead, remember to come back for dinner. The girl didn't lift her head, she stood on the raised box in her apron and cooked, dipping her index finger in the soup to taste it, and then showing a satisfied expression. Kaye sighed helplessly and pityingly, Mina had gradually lost interest in learning about mages since she had settled down. The boy felt that she was more suitable to be a housewife, so why force her.

Essien is an upside-down boot-shaped country, with the capital Plzeň about ankle high, and the tributaries of the Jinxue River forming a moat, making it one of the most prosperous cities in Sarafur. As Kaye walks down the street, he can clearly feel the difference between Razor City and Pilson. Pilsen's Clarion Boulevard in the middle line and the horizontal Jinbei Boulevard cross the city, dividing the city into four districts, each subdivided into five to eight subdistricts. The planning is rigorous, the streets are basically clean, and the city patrol is vigilant, at least the boy will not see the corpse on the street corner and in the garbage heap.

Plzeň is most famous for the Golden Palace of the royal family and the White Tower for scholars. The former is a masterpiece of dwarven design, using more than 3,000 pounds of gold pouring. And the White Tower. It is one of the pillars of Essien's prosperity. The nobles sent their second son, illegitimate son, or recommended outstanding commoner to the White Tower to receive various knowledge and learning. When they complete their studies, they will be given the title of "Bachelor", and Bachelors will not be allowed to own fiefs. They traveled to the various principalities or knightly realms of Esin to serve as advisors and staff, and the White Tower was a revered path of light for the noble children and commoners who had no right of inheritance.

Bachelors need to get at least three badges, and usually they will choose the mainstream of government management, financial accounting, military operations, medical knowledge, and heraldic history, and they can get one badge after completing a course. And there are more than seven badges to qualify as a "naturalist". Kaye was surprised to hear Aston introduce the White Tower. More amazed by talent like Aston. The nobles should compete for hires, how can they not even afford to hire servants. When I asked, I found out that Aston got unpopular badges for language, biology, religion, geology, philosophy, humanities, cartography, and so on. The aristocracy did not feel that it was worth hiring someone who was not normally needed in the specifications of a naturalist.

The White Tower is actually the center of a neighborhood, surrounded by the Bachelor's Tower. The Mystic Bazaar is a commercial street not far from the White Tower, and the name is because for a while, alchemy, occult or religious badges were prevalent in the White Tower, and many people brought unintelligible texts, strange corpses or all kinds of things related to mystery to sell here. While those badges are no longer in demand, the Mystic Bazaar remains. Kaye occasionally buys something useful, and he's teaching himself alchemy.

This time, he plans to buy some catalysts. Although he had not yet come into contact with the magic web written in the book, he intuitively felt that day was not far off. And the mage. In particular, new mages need some materials as catalysts in order to enhance spell shaping and molding, such as the feathers of special birds. Rare ore powder and so on. There are common and uncommon.

The boy bought some sulphur and a curved-neck flask, and then browsed through the goods of the street vendors, and he came across a wooden product that resembled a doll. His brow furrowed. He'd seen something similar in Razor City, where two guys were hiding on the corner trading this thing, and he saw it. One of them paid 3oo razor coins for the doll, which is equivalent to 25o Essien gold coins.

"How much does this cost?" Kaye grabbed at the doll, but was pinched by the stall owner's wrist.

"Little kids, don't waste money, go away, go away. The stall owner in the turban reprimanded.

"My money is none of your business. ”

"Look at the other stalls. The stall owner said impatiently.

Boss Kaye wasn't happy, if it weren't for Grandpa Mina's teachings, he would have let this despised guy see the thief's craft at the exit of Razor City. At this time, a young lady in civilian clothes came up and asked, "This doll is so beautiful, how much does it cost?" ”

"Not for sale. The stall owner said in a vicious voice. Let the boy be happy, it turns out that he doesn't buy it from the beautiful lady, this business is really weird.

"Look, I have a similar doll, newer than yours, how about the exchange. ”

The stall owner nodded reluctantly, and his doll was replaced by Miss's doll. Kaye stopped smiling, and the observation from the ghetto told him that there was something wrong with him. The girl walked up to the stall, looked directly at the doll almost without searching, and then asked for the old to be replaced with the new, and it was successful. He looked closely at the aristocratic lady, dressed in the usual embroidered garment, except that she wore silk trousers for mobility instead of a skirt. I didn't wear the family coat of arms, and the jewelry was ordinary and a little shabby.

As the boy looked at her with scrutinizing eyes, the young lady turned her head as well, and Kaye was taken aback, and that look was also scrutinizing and wary. He immediately relaxed his face, revealing a look of embarrassment at the staring of a pretty woman—this was also from Razor City. The young lady did not suspect a moderately dressed child, looked around at the people, and hurried away.

Kaymo rubbed his chin, he was not in the mood to meddle in things, but he was in the mood to make inferences, and some superficial light yì saw through Kaye's schemes in Razor City, which left a deep impression on him, and the students always subconsciously imitated the teacher.

Judging from her clothes, she is a middle-class or lower-class nobleman, and her vigilant eyes and glance habits indicate that she has been in a tense or dangerous state for a long time, or at least in the near future. Obviously, she knew that there were dolls in this stall, perhaps because she knew the temperament or habits of the stall owner, and obtained the doll in exchange, and the doll might be very valuable......

He couldn't deduce anymore, there were all kinds of possibilities. How did the teacher confidently come to his conclusions? Many clues may not be the only ones. Forget it, let's do our own thing, maybe you can meet a stall owner who doesn't know the goods to send money.

As a result, a handful of silver coins were actually handed in front of him, and Kaye was stunned for a moment, and two men with sharp eyes stood in front of him.

"What did that woman buy? Sue me, the money is yours. ”

Anyone else stalking?

The guy who was following him looked at the boy stunned, not only did he not add money, but grabbed a handful of silver coins back: "If you delay me for one more minute, the reward will be less, don't waste your money, don't be small." ”

She bought a doll from this thrift stall. As soon as Kaye turned his head, the stall owner with the turban had left.

The two men frowned: "What did you say? What else did you sell besides dolls?"

"No, I just asked for the price, and then I left in a hurry. ”

They gave it to Kaye and told him not to tell anyone about it, and the boy said yes. Then they talked in a whisper, as if discussing whether they were chasing a noble woman or a stall owner. After a brief exchange, they followed the young woman's path.

Isn't this interesting, loan sharks? No, the loan business is a door-picker, and they don't buy news with so many silver coins in a hurry. Bullies who want to steal their family property or beauty? is the most likely, and something like this happens in Razor City every month.

Kaye decided to follow. He has been thinking about the two tasks assigned by his teacher, becoming a full-fledged mage in two years, and he is confident. How to do this well in ten years to gain a certain amount of power. Even if you become a mage and take the initiative to post the past to the great nobles, you will face all kinds of tests, conspiracies, and suspicions. And taking the lower route, the teacher's speculation has already given him a conclusion.

Looking at the backs of the two stalkers, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, what if he invested in the nobles who had lost power? He would look down on them with a mysterious and powerful high profile, instead of becoming the thugs and tools of the nobles.

There was an opportunity in front of him, and he didn't know what the young woman's family background was, but he could try. Even if it's not appropriate, it's publicity. The boy had already begun to think about the mysterious and noble legend of the mage circulating in the streets and alleys, and his heart suddenly became hot, and he carefully followed it while thinking about what form to use to appear.

He has experience in tracking this kind of thing, and he uses the black mud from the street to paste on the side of the curved neck bottle he just bought, which can be used as a mirror, so as not to be seen by the other party around the corner. What made him strange was that the aristocratic woman in front of him also seemed to have her tail behind her, and her steps quickened, but she actually walked towards the remote ramp. There were only four people left in front and behind on the empty path, and the two men were not afraid of being exposed, but followed more closely, and Kaye knew that this was about to be done.

The boy had the slime wrap around his body, but instead of deforming, it changed color, a usage he had newly dug up not long ago. His body changes color with his back, and as long as he doesn't move too fast, it's hard to be seen. He is light and walks quietly, and even if he steps on something, he will be muffled by the glue on the soles of his feet.

The two men finally blocked the woman. Kaye genuinely thought the woman was stupid and ran to a remote place where no one heard her cries for help, but it was just right for the boy to do it.

"Something, hand it over!" A man grabbed the wrist of the noble lady, who was frightened and helpless.

When it was the turn of the hero to save the mysterious man of beauty, Kaye proudly stepped out of his left foot, but his right foot froze in the air in embarrassment.

He saw the weak woman pound the man's head with an elbow. (To be continued!)
