"Now that you've made up your mind, leave this dragon egg here. There was a subtle fluctuation hidden in Gerald's tone, "Without a suitable environment, it will take a long time for dragon eggs to hatch, and my magic tower can shorten this time." ”

"Mentor, students have one more thing to report. "Because of the dragon eggs, Griffith almost forgot the most important thing. "My father is injured and wants my brother to inherit the title early, and I need to go home to manage the domain assigned to me. Although I am very eager to continue to learn from you, I am ...... disobey my father."

"Well—" Gerald was silent for a few seconds, "since it is the will of Baron Carolingian, then I have no position to oppose it." If you need anything in the future, the doors of my magic tower will always be open to you. ”

Gerald's words solved Griffith's biggest annoyance in the day.

In this world, the relationship between master and apprentice is not too close, and there is no Chinese saying of "a teacher for one day, a father for life", and many times it is more like a transaction.

In the case of Griffith, one of Gerald's conditions for taking him as an apprentice was Baron Caroling's help in hunting a bipedal wyvern, in addition to the agreement to sell magical materials produced in the territory.

It is precisely because the color of the transaction is too heavy that in many cases, the relationship between the apprentice and the mentor will gradually fade after leaving the apprenticeship, and eventually most of them will turn into an exchange of interests between collaborators. It is not uncommon for students to overtake their mentors in their achievements and reverse their relationships.

Usually apprentices start after level 4, but Griffith's situation is a bit peculiar, and his magical foundation is not yet solid. Once you are far away and your relationship with Gerard becomes estranged, it will be difficult to continue in the field of magic in the future. Now with Gerald's promise, although he can't stay in Thousand Sails City, Griffith can still keep most of the convenience that apprentices can get.

This is really exciting news.

"When are you going to leave?"

"No later than early March. Andrew's succession ceremony was held on the first day of April, and from Thousand Sails City to Carolingburg, it would take about ten days at the earliest, and there may be various accidents on the way, so it is necessary to reserve 20 days for your trip.

"Today is February 14th, so there's not much time left. Gerald's fingers tapped lightly on the table, "Try to figure out a way to see if you can get the symbiosis contract before you leave Thousand Sails City." If you don't get it for most of the month, it proves that fate is not favored by you, and I will help you sell the dragon egg. ”

Griffith was stunned again, as if he had reacquainted himself with the slender mentor in front of him.

"Hehe, let's take it as a test for you. If you can't, you're going to have nothing to do with this dragon egg. ”

It was supposed to be a good thing, but how did it turn into a test again, and Griffith's heart seemed to have thousands of alpacas running by.

Gerald, you're a mage, you're born to rebel against the sky! Fate is such a thing, since the fall of the ancient goddess of fate, no one will talk about it except for madmen and liars.

"Griffith, do you know which god I believe in?"

"God of knowledge?" Griffith blurted out.

There is a saying circulating in Titania: "Not all mages are unbelievers, but 99% of unbelievers are mages." "The more powerful the mage, the less reverence there is for the gods, and in the eyes of legendary mages, the gods are nothing more than powerful creatures.

Of course, because after the death of the unbeliever, the soul will be discriminated against and abused, and most mages still have faith on the surface - although there is no benefit to the pan-believers, at least they don't have to be used to paste the wall.

There are no magic gods in this world, and there are many mages who believe in the god of knowledge, and Griffith's guess is quite correct.

"I believe in the omniscient eye. ”

Griffith had never heard of the name, so could it be some devilish archduke in disguise?

Demons and demons will also develop believers in the material realm. Among them, the demons are easy to recognize because of their chaotic nature and their enthusiasm for letting believers launch terrorist attacks. On the contrary, the wicked devils are much more cunning, and they like to disguise gods in their vests.

Every year, some new churches emerge in Titania, and less than one-third of them are real gods, and the rest are cults made up by the devil to sell dog meat.

However, this kind of thing is not Griffith's turn, and the most famous legendary mages in Titania can almost be called blasphemers, and there are those who openly collude with the devil. As long as your fist is big enough, the rules are no longer a bondage.

"I can't explain it to you for a while, anyway, you just need to find a symbiosis contract. Gerald waved his hand and motioned for Griffith to step down.

Because the dragon egg accidentally evoked the memories of his youth, Gerald talked a little too much today, and some things that should not be revealed also leaked, which made him have a rare sense of regret.

When Griffith came out of the magic tower, the night was already dark.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. After Griffith finished speaking, he deliberately said to Hansen: "Anyway, we are leaving next month, you can stay in the guest room for the time being, and Anna will arrange it for you." It's not the right time, and I'm sorry I can't take you around Thousand Sails City. ”

Although he felt a little regretful in his heart, Hansen certainly did not show it, and immediately said to the new employer that it was okay.

Griffith's rented yard was not far from the Magic Tower, and as soon as he got home, Bailey whispered to Griffith: "On the way back, there are at least three spies, and it seems that they are not in a group. ”

"It's okay, I'll stay in the Magic Tower. Griffith sat down in the living room, and after two days of running, he was also a little tired. "I didn't think the city guards would help me keep it a secret, but tomorrow the word from the mentor will stop the flies. On the contrary, it is a matter of family, maybe someone will take the opportunity to tempt, you should pay attention to safety these days. ”

The so-called wood shows in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

Baron Carolingian has been quite powerful in the past ten years, gaining a lot of benefits for the family, but also offending many people, and the enemy is not just the Osborne family. Now that Stone is seriously injured, there must be people who want to fall into the well, and all kinds of temptations are also expected, and Griffith is far away in Thousand Sails City, which is the best target.

For the next few days, Griffith lived in seclusion, but Bailey and the others were a little busy.

"Bailey, what's the matter with the injury on your face? Could it be that there's something wrong with the Raven Guild?" Griffith had just finished copying the scroll today, when he saw a few more scars on Bailey's face when he pushed the door in, and he suddenly became worried when he thought of the reason why Bailey went out today.

The day after Griffith returned to Thousand Sails, he asked Bailey to negotiate with the Raven Guild to buy a symbiosis contract. However, the black lotus of the joint said that the matter was very important and that he wanted to ask the president of the union. And today, it is the day to meet as promised.

"There is no problem with the Raven Guild for the time being. Bailey's tone was calm, and Griffith breathed a sigh of relief. The worst feared situation did not happen, at least the crow union did not plan to turn around for the time being.

"These injuries were accidentally left by a few drunk mercenaries on the way. But I don't know if there was someone behind it - the city guards came quickly, and there was no time to pull useful information out of their mouths. But those people were all abolished by me, and I didn't disgrace you. ”

Bailey's heart was actually a little annoyed. For a thief, the fact that he can be scarred on his face proves that he is not careful enough. And prudence, caution, and constant vigilance are the basic qualities of a thief. Angry with a shot, Bailey's counterattack was merciless, and if it weren't for Griffith's face, maybe he would have been invited into the cell of the city hall by the city guards.

"Let's talk about the situation on the Crow Guild first, have you seen the president?" The president of the Raven Guild is very mysterious, and he can be called a dragon. Rumor has it that he is a member of the Council of Thousand Sails, but Griffith knows all the councillors, and none of them seem to be suspicious of this. And the existence of the Crow Guild, although it has the tacit approval of the officials of Thousand Sails City, is not like a glove of the city hall when it looks at its actions.

"I saw it, but the other party hid his body with magic items all over his body, and he couldn't even see whether he was a man or a woman, a man or a child, tall or short, fat or thin. As for the symbiosis contract, the president said he could get it, but he wouldn't sell it, and he wanted you to agree to one condition. ”

"Join the Raven Guild?" Griffith sneered. The other party's attitude of wanting LaGriffith to go into the water has always been clear, and it is not surprising to make such a request.

"Yes. Bailey secretly observed Griffith's face, "The president said that he could give you the status of vice president. ”

"That's generous. ”

It's just a trap though. If Griffith takes the bait and becomes a veritable vice president, then he will naturally get on this thief ship, and he will not be able to get out in the future. If you don't get involved in those criminal activities, and only be a guest secretary who is outside the organization, then this "vice president" is just a false title.

"Don't turn them down yet, let's see what happens on Vicente's side. "Griffith, naturally, doesn't pin all his hopes on the Ravens.

Vicente is a trainee pastor at the Goddess of Commerce Church, and it's time for Griffiths to collect some returns on his investment.

In terms of ecclesiastical power, Lady Fortune can only be ranked in the middle of the Titanian gods. But there is a specialization in the art industry, and every church of the goddess of commerce is a trading station, and every priest of the goddess of commerce is a qualified merchant. If you need to buy and sell, Lady Fortune's church isn't necessarily the best to deal with, but it is certainly the least bad.

"Lord Griffith, Ms. Charlotte wants to meet with you. In the evening, Vicente, who had returned from the Church of the Goddess of Commerce, brought such a message.
