Chapter Twenty-Six: Expensive Skill Scrolls
André Street, is one of the famous streets in the city of Caanster, and it is also one of the most prosperous streets for business. Half of it was a residential area for the royal nobility, half for commercial transactions, and the district of Saint-Phiri for the part of Caanster.
Caanster City is divided into six sub-districts, namely Saint-Phili, Serum, Riesman, Medil, Picard, and Temeisi. Via André is located in the Saint-Feri district, the second busiest district in Caanster, after the Riesman district. The Riesman district is the central part of the city and the most prosperous area in Caanster.
The National Assembly, the Court of Justice, the Chamber of Commerce and other state management organizations are all located in the Riesman district, which is undoubtedly the place with the highest concentration of power and economy.
Each division has its own advantages and functions, and usually except for some competitive activities that need to be specially distinguished, the rest of the time is very frequent, not to say that they are opposed. It's just that each subdivision has a powerful family as the "boss". For example, the "boss" of Santa Feri is the Rozerola family, and the boss of the Risman district is undoubtedly the royal family.
The Orwells' mansion was originally on André Street, and it was not far from the commercial area. Agi and Leah don't need to ride in a carriage, they just need to walk. Edge was also willing to walk to familiarize himself with his surroundings.
Leah followed behind him, walking dignified and generous. If there is anything Aiji doesn't understand, she will patiently answer them one by one. Edge was satisfied with her service, but always felt a little awkward. Leah is so fixed that it feels a bit like an intelligent robot.
Leah is a very popular girl. When she walked all the way to the exchange, most of the people would greet her in a friendly way when they saw her. This beautiful girl with light green hair is very easy to identify, and many people start waving when they see a head of green hair from a distance.
But Edge has attracted a lot of criticism, who is this guy, how did he become the master of Leah's service?
Edge didn't expect Leah to be so popular, and was surprised by her.
Leah saw his surprise and said modestly: "Young Master Aiji, the people on Andrea Street know me, and everyone is very friendly, so say hello a little more, I hope you don't mind." ”
Edge smiled at this and said, "Actually, if you weren't wearing a maid's costume, I think everyone would think that you are the eldest lady and I am your servant. ”
Leah smiled awkwardly and said, "You're joking, Young Master Ageie. ”
Looking at her, Aggie had a lot of questions to ask her, such as why her hair was so unusual and actually green. And why did she want to be a maid, now on her terms, I believe there is a better job than a maid.
Although he was puzzled by her, Aegie didn't ask her. He believed that it was impossible for Leah to talk about personal matters during working hours. And it's not good to ask people about their private affairs.
After walking for about ten minutes, Leah led him to the exchange.
Because Caanster City is divided into six sub-districts, each of which has an exchange, the exchange in one sub-district does not need to be too large, and it basically meets the trading needs of the people in the sub-district. But despite this, Age couldn't help but sigh when he saw the exchange in the Santa Feri district.
If it's not big, it's in terms of the whole city of Caanster. It's really big enough for people. The entrance along the edge of the oval is tens of meters in size, allowing a large number of people to enter and exit at the same time. The marble-clad square building has three floors, each with a wide corridor on display of a variety of trading goods.
Inside, it's not as crowded as you might think. There's plenty of space inside, and there's plenty of room for people to stand on their feet. In order to facilitate the differentiation of products, the inside is built into a vacant room. Then write a banner on the outside of the room, and it becomes a shop.
To Age's admiration, there are some beautifully decorated shops that have billboards such as "flashing lights". He was amazed and didn't know how this flashing text effect was made. Leah told him that it was restriction magic, which was condensed by the magic of powerful mages above the magister level.
Restriction magic is very expensive and cannot be used by ordinary shops. Because the cost of making it is very high, in addition to the strength above the Magister level, it also needs the help of space magic.
If you don't have space magic, you can't control the space transformation of magic. If you can't make the magic alternate between different spaces, you won't be able to achieve the effect of "flashing".
Leah tells Edge that a restricted spell with only two color changes will cost at least a few thousand gold coins, and three color changes will cost tens of thousands of gold coins. If there are more than three color variations, then this restriction magic is very valuable. It may even be chosen by the royal family for use in royal celebrations.
The royal family has money, and if it is chosen by the royal family, it is estimated that there will be no need to worry about it in this life.
Aggie saw this as a huge business opportunity. If he can do restriction magic, wouldn't he be able to get rich in a day?Oh~ Of course, this is just a casual thought, he is not an all-round wizard. He was still struggling with how to get the learning scrolls of magic and martial arts.
"Master Ageie, what do you need to know?" said Lia to Age, who was admiring the dazzling array of goods around her. She was also reminding Age, hoping that Age would pay attention to the schedule. At noon, I still need to go back for lunch.
Edgie didn't want to embarrass her, and cooperated with her work, saying, "Go and see the magic and martial arts learning scroll, I want to know about this." ”
Ria was a little surprised and asked, "Do you want to see both the magic scroll and the martial arts scroll?"
Ai Ji knew why she was surprised, so Suo didn't hide it, and said, "Yes, because I am a person who has studied both magic and martial arts!"
"Ahh......h
"You can call me greedy, but whether I'm a mediocre or not is only up to me, I don't care what you think of me. Without waiting for Leah to marvel, Edge interrupted her and continued, "Let's go, go and go back after reading the magic scrolls and martial arts scrolls." ”
"Oh. Leah didn't know what to say. She really wanted to sigh whether Edge was greedy, looking at Edge's appearance, it couldn't be the kind of wizard who learned both magic and martial arts very well, but he actually learned both magic and martial arts, and he was very self-aware, I really don't know where his confidence comes from.
Leah was really more and more confused about him, and at the same time, interest slowly grew.
After that, Leah showed him several stores specializing in combat skill learning scrolls, and finally after seeing the last one, they walked out of the crowd.
At this time, Edge sighed incomparably, he was really speechless. Those magic and martial arts learning scrolls were so expensive that he almost scolded the merchant for robbing, but fortunately Leah stopped him.
The most basic magic ball learning scrolls cost thousands of gold coins, and the advanced magic ball scrolls, such as the magic ball level 2 learning scrolls, have skyrocketed, requiring up to 3,000 gold coins!
Isn't this a blatant robbery?! The magic ball is the most basic fire magic, but the most basic scroll like this costs thousands of gold coins!
It's good that he doesn't understand, but as soon as he learns about such a market situation, he collapses, why does the Combat Skill Scroll need so many gold coins? In this case, how long does it take to earn enough gold to buy the Combat Skill Scroll? Now there are thousands of basic combat skill scrolls, so what if you want to learn advanced combat skills?
Without millions or tens of millions, it must be impossible to learn advanced magic and martial arts.
Seeing that he showed an extremely annoyed expression, Lea knew that he was from the Kenos Empire and did not know the market in this regard, so she explained it to him.
In fact, the price of combat skill scrolls has always been so high, whether it is a magic scroll or a martial arts scroll. It's easy to see why, the Skill Scroll is a kind of secret book that doesn't need to be taught by a mentor to learn a combat skill, and as long as you buy it, you can easily learn a combat skill.
Of course, there are also limitations to this, for example, the magic scroll is naturally learned by a magician, and if it is learned by a warrior, it will definitely not be successful.
As for the reason for its high price, it is the policy set by the whole country. Think about it, if the scroll of combat skills were cheap, wouldn't it be a bad game? Wouldn't everyone be a magician or a warrior? This would inevitably lead to social chaos! At the same time, another reason for its high price was to maintain the stability of the academy education.
The establishment of the academy is nothing more than to educate students in their thinking and combat skills. Among them, combat technology education is the most direct embodiment and the most important educational activity of the college. Come to think of it, if the combat skill scrolls on the exchange are cheap, then what else do you need the academy for? Presumably, most students will choose to buy the combat skill scrolls directly instead of staying in the controlled academy to study.
Therefore, the combat skill scroll is a commodity that is seriously regulated, and the price is definitely not too low, and it will basically exceed people's consumption level. And some high-level combat skill scrolls cannot enter the market yet, and will be confiscated by the state.
After learning about these circumstances, Aiji's original plan to enhance his magic and martial arts abilities by purchasing learning scrolls to expand the magic dragon's combat skills is estimated to be in vain.
Fortunately, now that his original hope was driven into the abyss, he was extremely disappointed in his heart.
Since it is not feasible to buy a study scroll, should he still go to the tutor and let the tutor teach him by hand? He was helpless, as if there was no better way than this method.
Then if you want to find a tutor, going to the academy is the best choice. Otherwise, if you hire a private tutor, you will need more gold than you would buy a study scroll. The only advantage of a private tutor is that it is not limited by the level of combat skills, as long as the instructor understands, many advanced combat skills can be learned. And this kind of tutor is often more proficient and has real materials.
This is much better than the tutors in the academy. Most of the academy's tutors are very strong, and they just take a scroll textbook and talk about it there. As for whether the students can learn, they will only laugh and say that whether they can succeed or not depends on the hard work and talent of the students. This shows that they are a little irresponsible.
Thinking of this, Edge sighed. Why is it so difficult to learn a combat skill? It seems that the development plan needs to be reformulated.
