Chapter Twenty-Three: Two Lessons of Magic (I)
Norma looked at the hall of the tavern in every possible way, the morning was the most leisurely time in the tavern, and the guests who had vented their hormones last night either went back to their rooms to rest, or were thrown out on the street to rest. Clean up the mess you caused last night, open the windows to let in all the strange smells, and the morning's work is over.
"I don't know what happened to that little ghost. I guess I didn't really die in the forest, I guess a magician wouldn't be bitten to death by a rabbit. At this moment, Norma misses that little ghost a little, eccentric, although she is always cheeky to ask her for help, but she is not a bad person.
While he was thinking wildly, a voice came from outside, and a figure pushed the door in.
"Sister Norma, how are you!" Alan spirited open the door to the tavern, and Hylis walked in to say hello to Norma.
"Yo, little ghost, you're still alive. Norma said angrily.
"Yes, all hands and feet. Norma walked over and looked around Ellen. "Scared back by a monster?"
"How can it be, we have killed a lot of demonic beasts this time, Sister Norma, do you have any channels here to help us deal with it?" Alan looked at Norma with a smile, although Norma said it badly, but Alan still heard some care from it, which made Alan feel a little warm.
"Hey, it's just one or two rabbits or something anyway, take it, how many sisters have taken it." Norma seemed to be in a good mood, and said heroically, in fact, this is originally an intermediary agency with comprehensive value, and some small batches of transactions can be purchased by the tavern, leaving the parts used in the tavern such as meat, and then selling the rest, of course, the tavern will charge some intermediary fees, but most adventurers are too lazy to deal with these chores, so they are happy to let the tavern handle it on their behalf.
"It's time to push in!" Alan beckoned outside.
Outside the tavern door, a soldier came in with a cart, saluted Allen, and left. Ever since the soldier who was rude to Allen was kicked out of the guards, the soldiers have a kind of fearful respect for Allen, for ordinary adventurers, as soldiers of the Ryan family, of course, they don't pay attention to ordinary adventurers, but for Young Master Roland's friends is another matter, and it is possible to be transferred to guard the door if they don't do well.
"It's quite a big name, and I asked someone to help you push the cart. Norma sneered and walked over, then froze, her mouth slowly opening.
"Sister Norma, let's go rest first, there is no one in our two rooms. Alan smiled and greeted the sluggish Norma, and when he saw Norma nodding, he walked up with Hylis.
Norma looked at the demon rabbits piled up on the cart and the partially processed demon rabbit skin, demon rabbit meat and demon core, and her brain suddenly couldn't turn around. The Demon Rabbit, a low-level monster, can pose a threat to ordinary first- and second-order warriors, and even a single accidentally attacked by multiple Demon Rabbits may be wiped out, so many first- and second-order warriors would rather go to ordinary beasts, or find warriors of the same level to train, rather than risk their lives to earn that money. However, if a strong person who has risen to the third order or above is disdainful of this kind of low-level monster, most adventurers would rather directly form a group to find the third-order monster, after all, the materials on the third-order monster are scarce everywhere.
Because of this, even in a relatively old-fashioned tavern like the Dusk Tavern, it actually takes a bit of luck to get into the Demon Rabbit Meat, and you can only occasionally see if there are any low-level adventurers who go in for training or third-order adventurers who can fight one or two.
"Now... I probably won't need to use the meat of Warcraft for a few months. I didn't expect that kid to be quite capable, so I didn't collect the money I owed last time from him. Norma quickly entered the tavern master mode and considered, as for the rabbit skin and rabbit core, it will be transferred to other merchants, even if it is a low-level material, there will always be no shortage of apprentices who need to practice.
Norma is thinking about how to take a cut, whether to take a 50% of the points of conscience, or....
"Hello, may I ask Alan what room they are in?" Norma asked the other staff to push the cart into the warehouse first, and while she was busy, a voice pushed the door in.
"Go up the stairs to the second room, you areβ" Norma walked out of the door and said casually, only to be stunned by several people in front of her, one was a heroic young swordsman, the other was a beautiful priest with blue hair and slenderness, a solemn knight with a moving figure, and a red-haired petite mage in a black robe, the point was that if Norma guessed correctly, they should all be nobles. After all, after working in the tavern for many years, there is still a big difference between a country nobleman like Allen and a well-educated family nobleman in front of him, so I saw these people say hello and go upstairs.
"What kind of person... Alan's friend?" Norma was about to peek upstairs when a large hand grabbed Norma and pulled her back.
"Ah, what are you doing, I warn you that our boss is very fierce. Norma subconsciously exclaimed, and when she looked back, she saw that it was the burly Twilight Tavern owner who was pulling her.
"Boss, what are you doing, scared people so much that their livers are fluttering. Norma grumbled, as she straightened her clothes and seemed to want to make her way to the second floor.
"Don't join in the fun, you can't afford to mess with those people. The boss quickly grabbed Norma again to prevent her from running up.
"Does the boss know who those people are?" asked Norma, looking at the boss with an innocent expression.
"Three children of the Ryan family, one should be the head of the Shneke family, and the other is not very clear, but it is very likely that it should be the children of the upper echelons of the Magic Association. The boss grimaced and dragged Noh back to the kitchen to keep her from making a mess.
γ... Allen, what's going on, even if you go out and hit a bunch of rabbits, you can actually pick up a bunch of noble friends and come back. Norma sighed as she was thrown into the kitchen by her boss.
In Alan's room, Alan and Hylis sat at the small table, and Caroline sat expressionlessly on the bed.
A few minutes ago, Alan greeted Rosis and the visiting Roland group, and happened to see Caroline hiding behind. Alan had an idea that since Caroline is the granddaughter of the high-ranking members of the council, it means that the magic that Caroline learned is likely to be at the forefront of this country, and Alan told Cilise that the good thing is self-taught, and the bad thing is that the blind man rides a blind horse and touches blindly. Although Cialis doesn't mind, Alan knows that any knowledge or ability foundation is the most important, don't look at their young age, they all have third-order abilities, but if the foundation is not remedied now, it is not impossible to stop at this level for life. Many mages slack off after crossing the threshold of the third order, and as a result, they can't continue to improve after that.
"Hmm..." Alan and Cialis looked at each other, they said that they wanted to ask Caroline about magic, Roland and they all consciously went out, after all, knowledge is valuable, even if they have a good relationship, they still have to avoid suspicion when it is time to avoid suspicion, otherwise it will not be far from turning against each other. Of course, it is also very likely that he wanted to play tricks on Caroline, who is not good at words, and I heard that it was Lilith who made Caroline memorize the words of thanks at the camp.
Caroline opened her mouth several times to speak, but when she was about to speak, she took it back. Alan and Cialis were worried for a while, and suddenly, Alan felt that Lilith's smile before leaving seemed to represent not only the evil to Caroline, but also to us. It's really good, a big step towards the realm of friends so quickly.
"Hmm... Miss Caroline, if you can't explain it, can you give us a book or something for us to study, and then ask you if you have any questions? I said in as polite terms as I could, this is the best I can think of, or I think Caroline could spend the whole day with us.
Caroline looked abruptly surprised, and then pulled out of the large bag she was carrying, left and right, and took out two books from it and placed them on the table.
These two books are the Basic Examples of Magic (edited by the Wizards' Guild 11th Edition) and the Guide to Mental Power and Magic Practice, with the cycle method as an example.
