Chapter 20 Trading Area

Although Sean's face is extremely thick-skinned, under such a gaze, he can't help but have a feeling of shame that he wants to dig three feet into the ground and hide in.

Fortunately, after looking at it for a while, Helmo finally withdrew his gaze, as if talking to himself: "I understand, why you can reach the level of a full-fledged magician when you are less than twenty." ”

Sean felt a pang in his heart, what did he understand? Could it be that he actually knew about the existence of Number One?

Suddenly, Sean's vest was soaked with cold sweat.

However, after a long sigh, Helmo said, "Your teacher didn't even teach you this in order not to distract you, and his expectations for you are really too high. ”

Sean was stunned, and the heart that had already jumped to his throat fell back to the same place again.

He looked at Helmo a little sadly and inexplicably, are you trying to scare me to death?

The reason why Magician Moren didn't tell him these things is probably because he couldn't have imagined that Sean would be able to complete his transformation and be promoted to a full-fledged magician within ten years.

Helmo nodded to Sean and said, "Since your teacher didn't say it, then let me tell him that in our magic union, the people who are responsible for the specific affairs of each place are all great magicians and official magicians, and the presidents of the local branch unions and the members of the committee that determines the development of the magic union are all magicians." As for the elders of the union...... he dragged out his voice and said secretly, "They are all legendary mages. ”

Sean suddenly made a loud voice in his head, Legendary Mage, this is a real, only legendary figure. Not to mention the Morun Magician, even the Grand Tiffany Wizard has never seen it.

If he could get the guidance of this kind of level magician, then it would undoubtedly play an incomparably huge role in his cultivation. And if you can get their gifts......

As long as you think about their identity, you know that in their eyes, the garbage-like thing is also the treasure of their dreams.

Taking a deep breath, Sean asked aloud, "Your Excellency Grand Magician Haiermo, how many formal magicians do you need to teach before you can gain the favor of these elders and see them?"

Helmo shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know." ”

"What?" Sean blurted out.

"The Magic Guild can record all the merits of all magicians truthfully, but those elders are freewheeling people, although they can inquire about these achievements, but whether they are willing to meet or not, it is not something that anyone can predict. Helmo made a helpless expression and said, "But it's also a hope, isn't it?"

A wry smile appeared on Sean's face, this was indeed a hope, but it was just a little too slim.

However, in the subsequent conversation, Sean also understood one thing, that is, the Magic Guild did find this issue very difficult, and made many relevant regulations, one of which is that if a magician brings out five official magicians, then when he is promoted to the Grand Magician, the Magic Guild can tailor a magic wand for him.

From this point alone, you can see how rich the Magic Guild is.

And when Sean heard this condition, a pair of eyes suddenly lit up. The Great Magician's magic wand only needs to train five full-fledged magicians, so wouldn't it be great news for him.

So after leaving Helmer's room, Sean was full of calculations about where to trick a few introductory apprentices.

However, if he were to start teaching from a first-level apprentice, or even an ordinary person who had never been exposed to magic, then he would definitely not have that surname.

No matter how talented this kind of person is, if he wants to become an official magician, it will take more than ten or twenty years of hard training, after all, not everyone has the number one space to help him cheat.

But if it is those level 8 freelance apprentices who have acceptable qualifications and hope to become official magicians, then Sean is really sure that they can break through the limits and become official magicians.

Because Sean's biggest reliance is on broadcasting.

After passing the test on Kim and Ryan, Sean already knew that only a few movements in the first three bars of the first major set of the elementary level were enough to improve the qualifications of these free mages who had reached the eighth level of apprenticeship by relying on diligent cultivation.

Although this kind of improvement will not make them extremely geniuses, with their original above-average qualifications, not only can they easily become full-fledged magicians in a few years, but even if they practice hard in logistics and go one step further, it may not be impossible to become a great magician.

Of course, if it is those who know how to exercise basic mental strength, but cannot be promoted to the eighth level apprentice, then Sean will not accept it anyway, because such people are either too poor in qualifications or unwilling to work hard. Even if they get the broadcast body, it will be difficult to change their predestined fate, so Sean will definitely not waste time on them.

※※※※

Walking down the stairs, when Sean reached the hall of the Magic Guild, the slight whispers outside suddenly disappeared in an instant.

None of the apprentices in the hall left, and they all waited here for news from Sean.

Although the apprentice behind the counter had already returned, he didn't ask for any information at all.

However, when everyone's eyes fell on the magic badge engraved with a small star on Sean's left chest, their eyes suddenly showed envy and respect.

As apprentices of magic, they certainly know what this badge represents.

And they understand even more that after having this badge, Sean has a world of difference from their status, and it is no longer within their reach.

Sean walked slowly, glancing over the faces of the men.

After seeing Sean's gaze, these apprentice mages all bowed their heads respectfully and took a few steps back.

Sean's eyes suddenly saw the Druf brothers and sisters again, and his heart suddenly moved, the level of these two brothers and sisters is also around level seven, but looking at their age, they are much younger than Kim and Ryan. If these two people are accepted, it is very likely that they will be able to become official magicians in the future, no, they will be able to become 100% full-fledged magicians.

But the only thing that made Sean hesitate was that God knew if these two people were someone else's introductory apprentices, so he didn't want to rush forward to ask, if he touched his nose, it would be a little ugly.

After thinking about it for a while, Sean came to the counter and said to the apprentice inside, "Have a drink of Enchanted Forest." ”

The apprentice inside didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly prepared a cup and sent it over.

Sean then threw out an energy crystal, and the apprentice's face turned red, and he hurriedly said, "Your Excellency Sean, the official magician's consumption in the Magic Guild is free. ”

Sean was slightly stunned and smiled: "It's okay, your craftsmanship is very good, it's worth it." With that, he turned to leave, and the apprentice behind him gratefully accepted the energy crystal.

For Sean, of course, he didn't care about an energy crystal, but for these apprentice-level mages who had no backing behind them, this thing was precious.

With his glass in hand, Sean sat down at Druff's table.

The three Druf immediately stood up respectfully, their eyes full of surprise, while the apprentices in the other seats showed obvious jealousy.

Putting down the glass, Sean asked, "What's your name?"

"Druf, Mary, Katjefu. The three of them all felt a little dry-mouthed, but they all knew that this opportunity was rare, so they didn't dare to hesitate in the slightest and immediately said it.

Sean stretched out his hand and pressed it weakly, and the three of Druf sat down hesitantly, but their attitude was respectful and they did not squint, which was simply the most exemplary sitting posture of elementary school students in the seventies.

Shaking his head slightly, but when he thinks of the identity gap between them, it seems that it is not difficult to understand.

After taking a sip of the forest, Sean casually asked, "Do you come here often?"

"Yes. Facing Sean's kind gaze, Druff finally mustered up the courage to say.

"Why do you want to come often?" Sean asked in surprise, "Don't you need to exercise your mental strength and don't you want to go further?"

"Absolutely. Druf's face flushed slightly, and he said, "The apprentices who often come to the Magic Guild are all apprentices who have reached level eight, or are close to level eight. But because of our poor aptitude, no official magician was willing to admit us to the school. And you also know that once the cultivation reaches the point where we are, it will be extremely difficult to go further, unless we have been systematically trained and obtained a higher level of cultivation methods, then it is possible to advance to a full-fledged magician in our lifetime, otherwise it is useless to work hard. So ......"

When he said this, there was a pause, and he looked up at Sean, but he didn't see the slightest impatience on his face, so he boldly said: "So all of us have come here, hoping that one day we will be favored by a magician, or an introductory apprentice, and then become an apprentice attendant, so that there is a glimmer of possibility, so that we can get the opportunity to advance." ”

Sean put down his glass and looked around in surprise, until this moment he knew that it was no wonder that the apprentices here were all between the seventh and eighth levels, and they also had a lot of free time to squander here, it turned out that they were all sympathetic, and their purpose was just an apprentice servant.

He sighed deeply, although Druff and Benson were very similar in appearance, the fates of the two of them were very different.

When one reached the seventh level of apprenticeship, he tried his best to become someone else's apprentice servant, and the other successfully won the favor of the magician, and there was a good hope that he would become a full-fledged magician in the future.

The fate between people is different, if Benson knew that thousands of miles away, there was a person who was unusually similar to him who was treated like this, he would definitely be full of emotion, and let himself take the initiative to accept this person.

"Druff, so you haven't become an introductory apprentice to any magician yet?" Sean asked softly.

"Yes. Druff said quickly, he seemed to feel Sean's heart, so even his tone trembled a little.

Sean nodded silently, with some thoughts in his heart, I don't know what the surnames of their brothers and sisters are, if they are the same as Kim and Ryan, then naturally they have nothing to say, but if they are similar to people like Solomon, then after teaching them, I am afraid that sooner or later they will regret it.

In fact, Sean doesn't have high requirements for his disciples, and he doesn't want them to become old-fashioned and upright gentlemen, but if the surname of the person under the door is not good, then it will be against himself in the future, and it will be called lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

Seeing Sean sitting quietly and considering, Katjefu desperately glanced at Druve.

Druf hesitated for a moment, and finally realized that this was a life-long event, and if he missed this opportunity, he was afraid that he would never be favored by other official magicians in the future.

He stood up suddenly, bowed deeply to Sean respectfully, and said, "Your Excellency Sean, please accept me." ”

Sean shuddered as he held the glass in his hand, almost spilling the wine inside.

Why does this sentence sound so unpleasant......

If it was a beautiful girl pleading softly in front of Sean, then it would be quite a pleasing sight. But when a beautiful woman becomes a man with three big and five thick, coupled with this tone and demeanor, it is enough to make people feel creepy.

"Druf, you sit down first. Sean said hurriedly.

Druf didn't dare to disobey, and sat down stiffly, but a pair of eyes looked at Sean with a pleading gaze, and he had a posture of not achieving his goal and vowing not to give up.

"Ahem. Sean cleared his throat and said, "Druf, you're a seventh-level apprentice." ”

"Yes. Druff's eyes darkened, and he said, "I know that with my qualifications, I can't become your beginner disciple, but I just want to become an apprentice." ”

Sean's heart moved slightly, and it was also a good idea to let them become apprentice attendants first. He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you can follow me for two months first, and if your performance can satisfy me, I will accept you as a beginner disciple." ”

Druve was overjoyed for a moment, and his eyes flashed with infinite brilliance.

Sean snorted coldly and said, "Don't be too happy, if your performance can't satisfy me, then you don't even have the qualifications to be an apprentice squire." ”

Druff nodded again and again, and said, "Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely perform to your satisfaction." ”

Katjefu and Mary glanced at Druf enviously, and then looked at Shaun with a blank look, but they had already felt that Sean was obviously looking differently at Druf, and as for the two of them, they were at most just Druff's foils.

Druf can take the initiative to ask, but the two of them are self-aware, and they know that it will definitely be useless for them to ask for it.

After Druf was excited, he suddenly hesitated for a moment, and said, "Teacher, this is my sister Mary, this is my best brother Katyefu, they ......"

When Dhruff mentioned his best brother, Sean's eyebrows twitched unnoticedly.

Isn't these two people together a copy of themselves and Benson......

And his goal was to have at least five apprentices, even if he accepted all three of them, it was just right.

But on the surface, Sean still kept his face calm and asked, "What do they want?"

"They ......" Druff has not yet been accepted as an introductory apprentice by Sean, but he has begun to feel the majesty of this teacher, and he stammered, "They also want to worship the teacher's name." ”

Sean looked at him quietly, until the cold sweat was dripping on his head, and then he said, "Okay, this is the first time you have asked me, and I will agree to you." ”

With that, he stood up and said, "But if you want to follow me, you must be prepared to endure hardships, and I will leave here tomorrow, and it is very likely that you will not be able to return within ten years." So whether to follow me or not, you have to think it out for yourselves. ”

The three of Druff hurriedly stood up, and they said without thinking: "Teacher, we are willing." ”

Sean nodded with satisfaction and said, "I'll give you a day to tidy up, and tomorrow at noon, wait for me at the south gate." ”

After watching Sean re-enter the second-floor passage that only official magicians or attendants from the Magic Guild could enter, the three Druve finally came to their senses.

They glanced at each other, and they both saw the look of surprise in each other's eyes. They could never have imagined that this time they would be so easily agreed by Sean.

As a magic apprentice, and a free apprentice, being able to become an apprentice acolyte is already something they dream of. But Sean said that they could become real introductory apprentices, which of course made them overjoyed.

Some of the apprentice mages who were familiar with them next to them congratulated them one after another, but in the eyes of these people, there was a little envy. As for those apprentices who had nothing to do with them, they did not hide the naked jealousy in their eyes, and they had the idea of replacing them.

And the three of them immediately left after a moment of socializing.

Although they have decided that they must follow Sean out of here, they are also very nervous to break off all the relationships here in one day, and then go on the road without worry, so they also dare not have the slightest slack and hesitation.

※※※※

Before Sean went downstairs, he had a preliminary understanding of the structure of the Magic Union, and knew that the second to fifth floors were mostly magic item trading areas.

However, in addition to the official magician, the only ones who are qualified to reach here are the tenth-level apprentices under the leadership of the official magician.

Grand Magician Helmo is the mage who is in charge this month, so he will receive Sean on the third floor and conduct an assessment. Because according to the regulations of the union, as a great magician, he can already be Sean's chief examiner. Coupled with the video in the memory stone, Sean's qualifications as a one-star magician will definitely not be questioned anymore.

After walking around the second floor, Sean didn't find anything he particularly wanted.

Although the things here are not of low grade, and some of them are also suitable for one-star magicians, Sean is a little unsightly.

After all, there are too many good things in his necklace, so he can't look down on these ordinary items anymore.

Walking up the stairs, I came to the third floor, and the things here were really much better, and even the materials on the fifth-level demonic beast appeared.

However, it was only some ordinary materials on the Demon Beast, and none of those fifth-level Demon Cores and special materials were seen.

Sean muttered a few words, and when he tried to go up again, he suddenly stopped, because he saw that the two magicians had just come down from the staircase.

With a satisfied smile on the faces of these two people, it can be seen that they have made great achievements and achieved something satisfying on it just now, which is why they are so happy.

However, to Sean's surprise, the magic badges worn by these two people were actually embedded with four and five stars respectively.

This shows that one of these two people is a four-star great magician and the other is a five-star great magician.

Sean took a slight step back, dispelling the idea of continuing up.

He was almost certain that the upper second floor must be for high-level magicians, and with him, a little person who had just entered the ranks of one-star magicians, it was better not to go up and sell his belief.

Although Sean is sure that the treasures in his necklace are even the best magicians, hiding them and showing them off are completely different things.

Putting his curiosity away, Sean turned away from the staircase and continued to wander around the second floor.

Slowly, Sean finally focused his attention entirely on the cargo.

Here, there are the most third- and fourth-level demonic beast materials, and there are also some low-level special materials, and there are quite a few third- and fourth-level demonic cores for sale. Of course, there are also a lot of items such as magic scrolls, but the level is not high, and the fourth-level magic has been capped.

After a round and turn, Sean finally got a little understood. In fact, the items here are not high-quality, but they are full of variety and quantity. No matter what kind of mage you are, whether you want to make scrolls, refine magic items, or study various herbs, you can find the right materials here.

It can be said that this is the great warehouse of magicians.

He thought about it for a while, and came to the third floor, near the center, less than three meters away from the room he had just assessed.

There's a huge acquisition card here, and if a mage lacks a Power Crystal, he can exchange his goods for Energy Crystals here.

Of course, you can also exchange it directly with the owner of the store. However, in public areas such as the second and third floors, there is basically no one who does this. Only in the boutique area above the fourth floor will the trade of energy crystals be sharply reduced, and most of them will be bartered.

It was not the official magicians who were in charge of the acquisition here, but several apprentices.

After seeing Sean, these people immediately saluted respectfully, but when evaluating the magic materials that Sean took out, they were businesslike and gave extremely pertinent evaluations.

Most of the things Sean took out were some magical metals found in Lake Estonco.

Some of these metals are quite valuable, and most of them are found in the oases far from the shores of the lake.

In fact, the fact that I was able to find so many things was all due to No. 1. If it weren't for its super detection ability and the help of more than a dozen tireless mosquitoes and flies, he might not have been able to find so many treasures even if he gave Sean ten years.

Of course, some of the best materials Sean is treasured for himself. However, for the second-level, and too many raw materials, he still took out some of them.

When the apprentices had tested the value of the metal, their faces were amazed.

As a full-fledged magician, it's not surprising to be able to get access to these rare magical materials. But looking at Sean's age and that unfamiliar face, he doesn't look like a magician who can take out so many precious metal materials at once.

However, they didn't ask much in the end, and just gave an evaluation of three hundred intermediate energy crystals.

In fact, Sean didn't know whether this evaluation was high or low, anyway, for him, as long as there were three hundred intermediate energy crystals in the account, then everything would be enough.

Although there were thousands of low-level energy crystals in his necklace, it was only after arriving at the magic tower that he realized that this wealth was actually nothing. A mere third-level support scroll is priced at a hundred energy crystals, not to mention special scrolls like Attack Scroll and Wind Soaring.

It can be said that a thousand low-level energy crystals is already a lot of wealth for apprentice mages, but for formal magicians, the ones they use to trade are basically medium-level energy crystals, and it is better not to take out low-level things like this and be embarrassed.

After Sean accepted three hundred intermediate energy crystals, he went directly to a shop on the third floor.

In this shop, there is also an apprentice-level mage, and looking at his appearance, he is only level seven.

As soon as he saw the badge on Sean's chest, the apprentice immediately stood up respectfully, waiting for Sean's inquiry.

"How do you sell these soft mines?" Sean asked, pointing to a lump of metal in the corner of the counter.

This thing is also a relatively rare item, and its function is the same as that of Burmese mines, which is a treasure that can increase flexibility when refining.

However, the effect of the soft Burmese mine is much greater than that of the Burmese mine, and the vision and judgment of the craftsman are extremely high when it is built, so there are not many people who really dare to put the soft Burmese mine in the process of building the equipment.

"These soft Burmese mines are worth 200 intermediate energy crystals. The apprentice whispered.

Sean's brow furrowed slightly, he already knew that in addition to some of these shops belonging to the Magic Guild, some of them were set up by some free mages. Once they have set up their shop, they often hire apprentices to take care of it and sell it. As for the price, of course, it must be agreed in advance, and if the buyer is satisfied, the two parties can conclude the deal at any time.

As for security......

If there are still robberies in the Magic Guild and they succeed, then it is guaranteed that the next day the only remaining legendary mages in the Guild will come together to meet this daring fellow and discuss compensation.

After a moment's hesitation, Sean asked, "How much room for price reduction?"

Although the price has been set for a long time, basically everything will have a certain amount of room for counteroffer, as long as it is in this space, the apprentice can make his own decisions.

Sure enough, the apprentice hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Excellency, my power can only allow me to have room for the price reduction of ten mid-grade energy crystals. ”

Sean was stunned and said with a smile: "You are very honest, even said this." ”

The apprentice smiled bitterly and said, "You have already become an official magician at such a young age, and your future is limitless, so naturally I don't dare to deceive you." ”

"Oh, you know me?"

"Of course, Lord Sean, your story has spread to the ears of each and every one of our apprentices. The man said with envy on his face, "We really envy the Druf and them." ”

Sean smiled bitterly in his heart, what he did just now was indeed a little reckless, but he just thought of accepting five disciples, and thought of Benson, so he accepted Druff here openly. However, he didn't expect that for the apprentice, this matter was basically equivalent to being hit by a pie falling from the sky, and naturally it was spread throughout the apprentice in the magic tower in a very short period of time.

Nodding slightly, Sean took out two hundred mid-grade energy crystals from the space and put away this soft burmese mine, which was only the size of a fist.

Although the apprentice had said that he had room for ten mid-grade energy crystals to drop in price, Sean did not covet this small bargain. Anyway, for him, he really didn't take these intermediate energy crystals in his eyes.

Under the apprentice's gaze of surprise and disappointment, Sean left.

Although Sean did not wear a mage robe, the badge on his left chest already identified him.

Maybe in other cities, people don't understand how powerful this badge is. However, in the city of Holivo, where the Magic Guild is stationed, almost everyone can clearly name the insignia that represents several levels of magic.

Therefore, when Sean found a hotel with extremely high-end decoration, he was immediately greeted with the warmest hospitality.

When the meal was over, Sean closed the door and ordered no one to disturb him.

When the innkeeper heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. How can these magicians never forget to practice magic or do experiments?

He couldn't stop praying in his heart that this magician must do things exceptionally smoothly and that no accidents must happen.

In the middle of the room, Sean pulled out the newly purchased soft Burmese ore and took out the steel king that he had picked up on the beach.

With these two bizarre metals, which have near-perfect representations in their respective castes, Sean is sure to create a complete set of magical instruments.

But not now, this city is full of magicians' eyes, and he doesn't want to make his abilities known.

They spent the night here safely, and came to the south gate at noon the next day, and the three of Druf had been waiting for a long time. And to Sean's surprise, they actually led four horses.

When he saw the four horses, Sean nodded slightly. Although with Sean's current strength, he no longer needs to travel.

But the three of Druf can't do it, as level 7 or 8 magic apprentices, they can't master the art of wind and sail like Sean. And in the long grassland, if there is no suitable livestock to travel, it is not a good thing for people who can't fly.

Sean stepped forward, and Druff respectfully led the best horse over, and said with some embarrassment: "Teacher, this is what we have prepared for you." ”

Sean nodded slightly, turned over his horse, and said, "Let's go." ”

The three of Druf didn't even dare to ask where they were going, so they hurriedly urged their horses to follow.

Moments later, they were far away from Holivo City.

It wasn't until he was ten miles away from the city that Sean stopped, and when he looked back, the city in the distance was still clearly visible, but the magical pressure inherent in the city had disappeared.

That is, they have left the surveillance range of the city. In this place, as long as no magicians suddenly use magic to observe, then no matter what they do, they will no longer alarm the people in the city.

"Druf, who among you is familiar with the environment?" asked Sean.

Druff hurriedly said, "Teacher, we have been living here for more than ten years, and we are all familiar with this place. ”

"Okay, you lead the way, let's go. Sean said with satisfaction.

Druf was stunned and asked, "Teacher, where are we going?"

"The capital of the Werewolf Empire, the city of Christa. ”

"Krisda City?" Druf blinked his eyes twice and said in surprise, "Teacher, if you want to go to Krisda City, then our direction is completely opposite. ”

"Really?"

"yes, Krisda City is in ...... Ahh

Sean was startled, and in the corner of his eye, he could see it clearly.

It turned out that Mary and Katjefu shot at the same time and twisted Druff's waist and eyes, and after inexplicably suffering a sudden attack, even the thick and strong Druf couldn't help but scream.

Mary glared at her brother with a red face and said, "Since the teacher is doing this, he naturally has his intentions, what do you want to talk nonsense?"

Katye nodded again and again, and said, "Teacher, Krisda City is in this direction, please allow me to lead the way for you." ”

Sean couldn't help but show a smile on his face, this Druf, not only looks like Benson, but even the surname seems to be carved out of the same mold, and Mary and Katye Fuke are much more clever.

Faintly, Sean has such a feeling that if he keeps these three people by his side, then he will definitely not be lonely during the journey.

(To be continued)
