Chapter 23: Years of Streamers
Leaving the banquet, Valen said that Yukina's bad things were all the way, and that the people on the side had no intention of saving him at all, full of dissatisfaction.
"Valen, people have only known you for a day, if I had known you for a day, I would not have paid attention to you, your quality has nothing to do with me. Charles looked at Valen and said angrily like a child, and persuaded him with a funny smile.
"Charles, why did you apologize as soon as you came up, do you think I did something wrong?" Valen asked Charles suspiciously, and Charles told Valen what he thought, "Speaking of which, Valen, don't you even know that it's rude to point fingers at a girl?"
Valen suddenly realized and nodded: "Well, it's really true, the eyes of the people around you look at that girl are really different." Valen wondered if he would have to find a way to fix the snow in the future, a typical child's idea.
Charles looked at Valen's rolling eyes as if he was thinking of something strange, and reminded: "Look at that girl, she should be from a family that practices martial arts, it's better not to provoke a magician like you, no matter how noble you are, it is impossible for a magician to beat a person who practices martial arts." β
"I see. Valen replied dejectedly after listening to Charles's words.
For Charles, the banquet was a small episode, and there was no change in his life in the future, learning formations and magic from Teacher Misha, and quietly studying formations at Teacher Giles's house, thinking about how to draw more quickly and effortlessly.
Valen has undergone a drastic change, as a genius, he has already made a name for himself, and he is more popular because of his cheerful personality, although the course of the magic formation is taught by Principal Clive alone, and the physical exercise course is trained with other students.
As a magician, although it is impossible to have a strong physique like a soldier, after all, there is not so much time for the magician to exercise, the basic physical training can never be stopped, on the battlefield, in addition to the magician has the ability to survive the danger, but also has more than the physical strength of ordinary people, the rapid changes of the battlefield are beyond anyone's control, it is possible that this enemy third-level tornado has opened a gap, our magician has not had time to be protected, then the magician can only die on the spot if he does not have enough physical strength to escape.
So for physical strength, especially long-distance running, it is a compulsory course for magicians.
This half a year is not a long time, but it is not a short time, Charles has been promoted to a third-level magician, and Valen is already a fourth-level magician, and the two of them have finally learned the depiction of the first-level formation. In the attack formation, the attack power of the fireball and water ball has been significantly more than doubled, and the defensive formation is even more magical, and an invisible but touchable transparent protective cover has been formed around it, and the meditation formation can make the mental power recover faster, and the formation that is obviously driven by mental power can restore the mental power, which makes the two of them even more fascinated by the magic of the formation, and the matter of Yukina has gradually been forgotten in the depths of memory because of the passage of time.
"Giles, please, can you do me a favor. One day at noon, a wealthy merchant named Mingda looked at Giles with a pleading face.
Giles smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Boss Mingda, do you still use the word begging between you and me, isn't your business my business?" It's just that this time is γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Giles showed a distressed expression, "Boss Mingda, I heard that you have already placed a task at the guild, why do you still come to beg me?"
Mingda sat next to Giles with a wry smile and poured bitter water on Giles: "It's a task, but this road is too dangerous, bandits are frequent, a team of up to ten people, I have lost my money this time, I can't lose it! β
Of course, Giles knew the capital of Mingda, a wealthy businessman, and his family fortune described him as modest and not bad, and he made a lot of money from him.
"But you also know that I am going to attend a banquet at Rachel's house the day after tomorrow, and I am good friends with him, so how can I refuse an invitation from a good friend?" said Giles, with a very distressed look on his face, as if he was really vacillating between these two things.
"Giles, I know you're good friends with Rachel-sama, but I've been with you for a long time, don't you say? β
Giles looked at Mingda and nodded vigorously in affirmation: "Of course, Mingda, you are also my friend, I can't help you." Saying that, there was obvious loss on his face, "It seems that the Qiu Xuan lantern in the next auction can't be bought, how can I afford it myself without Rachel's funding." β
Since Mingda has done business to such a point, it would be a fool to not understand such an obvious hint, although he hated itchy, but once this batch of goods is sold, it is not a problem to make several times the money earned, how can it go wrong!
There are no one else who can be willing to take on the task, except for Giles, an outlier among magicians.
"Giles, you say, how much does it cost, say the number. Mingda said ruthlessly.
"Oh?" Giles' eyes lit up, he was able to make Mingda speak so cheerfully, he used to talk to me about the price, but I was curious about what the goods were this timeγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Giles just thought about it in his heart, what kind of goods does he care, this price... It seems that he can take a good bite of this piece of fat.
"Alas, if you say anything outside, you and I are friends and will be divided when you mention money. Giles looked at Mingda with a reproachful face, and Mingda muttered in his heart, your face has become many times faster than our businessman, and he can only smile awkwardly.
"Money, let me think about it, Qiu Xuanming's lantern is worth a lot of money, so let's do it, 150,000 yuan. It's also for the sake of you and my friend's face. Giles opened his mouth and said, casually like fifteen Imperial Coins.
"150,000! Giles, you-" Ming Dateng stood up and looked at Giles dumbfounded, this 80,000 is the price of the release task, which is already high, it's good here, a mouth is doubled, this is still a friend price!
Mingda really wanted to brush his sleeves away, but thinking about the preciousness of this batch of goods, he couldn't lift his feet at all.
"Okay! 150,000! I promise you!" Mingda used all his strength to squeeze these words out of between his teeth, comforting himself in his heart that he could earn it back in the future, and make a lot of money, otherwise Mingda might really not be able to help but punch Giles in the face.
Giles's smiling eyes narrowed into a slit, and he hugged Mingda's shoulders warmly and intimately.
