Chapter 26: The Nut Mercenary Group (Part II)
[Do you all read books during the Spring Festival? If you do, I'll keep the update speed and post a post]
The kung fu of a meal, everyone is also familiar with it, the configuration of the nut mercenary group is a little strange, there are no assassins, not even special swordsmen who use Qin Yin's thin sword, except for magicians, everyone is wearing metal armor.
Of the eight men, two wielded a heavy sword, four wielded an eight-sided sword, one wielded an iron spear, and one was a magician. Such a configuration is very bad for a low-level mercenary group. Even for a team as strong as the Nut Mercenary Group, there is something lacking, because there is no one suitable to be a scout.
Everyone's armor isn't lightweight, so you can't let a magician find a way in front of you, right?
Saleen wasn't much of a talker, at least not as good as Aini. Ani chatted with Flamenco and the others, and he could only talk to Walnut, a magician, with some professional questions to pass the time. Sika didn't know Qin Yin, and Nellis didn't even know the lingua franca, so the mercenaries found out about this problem after a few conversations with the two of her, and they reluctantly gave up.
"Master Salin, I take the liberty of asking, who is your teacher?"
"Just call me Saleen. Salin paused and sighed, "The teacher won't let me say his name unless I become a great magician." ”
"Oh. Walnut didn't feel strange, it was very strange that magicians had such rules when they accepted the inheritance, and if they couldn't reach a certain level, the teacher would not admit that there was such a formal student. This is a common way to motivate students to improve, and Walnut said disapprovingly, "Salin, why haven't I seen you use a magic wand?"
Salin was a little embarrassed, he originally had a magic wand, but he threw it away. After leaving the Swamp of Chaos, he wasted one of his hands, and he didn't need a magic wand.
The purpose of the magic wand is to amplify mana, and it can also save a little mental power. There are not many magic in the Saleen Society, each of which can be used to the extreme, and the requirements for magic wands are not high, and his mental power is too much higher than that of mages of the same level, so he doesn't want to buy a new one from Aini.
"I haven't found my wand yet, by the way, Walnut, who is your teacher?"
Salin is not familiar with the genealogy of magicians, and Jason has a lot of books, but he doesn't introduce it to this content.
"I don't have a teacher. Walnut was a little gloomy.
"You're amazing, if I didn't have a teacher, I'd still be nothing. Salin comforted Walnut. For a magician, it is almost impossible to become a great magician without guidance. This walnut talent is very good, and if there is a teacher, he may be able to become a great magician before the age of thirty, like Jason.
"I'm too poor to afford a teacher. Walnut glanced at the white crystal ring on Saleen's hand, feeling complicated. He mistakenly thought that Salin was a child of a rich family, so he could afford to hire a magic teacher, and look at his ring, which is estimated to be worth tens of thousands of gold coins.
"How much does it cost to hire a teacher?" Saleen wondered, Jason had never talked to him about collecting money, and he had to spend money to subsidize him.
"Just a named student will need 100,000 gold coins a year. ”
"So many!" Saleen was startled, he was very sensitive to gold coins. 100,000 gold coins, I'm afraid even the Viscount of Ceylon City Guge can't take it out, right? This is only the cost of a year! And this is still a registered student, Salin doesn't know the price of hiring a teacher, but he understands what a named student means.
Before Jason officially recognized him, he was treated like a registered student, Jason didn't give any guidance, just let him study on his own. It wasn't until Jason approved him that he had the opportunity to participate in a magic trial once a week, and he usually taught some unique tips, and he could ask questions if he couldn't read a book.
The difference is too great.
Seeing that Salin was surprised, Walnut was also a little puzzled, could it be that his teacher taught him magic knowledge for free? Thinking of this, Walnut showed a jealous expression.
This expression is not obvious, if it weren't for Saleen's sensitive heart since he was a child, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
Ani would never have such an expression, and Salin suddenly felt a little alienated from the walnut. Jealousy is poison for magicians, and although this walnut has talent, her heart is not firm enough. I guess it's because of this that I haven't been favored by the great magician. For many magicians, money is still a small thing.
My success has nothing to do with you.
This is a maxim left by a very powerful magician. This magician was born as a commoner, and without the guidance of a teacher, he advanced to the ninth level before the age of 40.
Saleen had the privilege of reading the magician's magical notes from his youth, and admired the magician's personality. Born in poverty, perseverance, never blind, and moving towards the path of magic, one step at a time. This is the trajectory of the life of that Dharma God.
Salin didn't see anything to show off in his notes, and he didn't complain.
Although Salin was disgusted with walnuts and could get along with each other for the next three months, Salin didn't show anything at all, but said enthusiastically: "If you have the opportunity in the future, I will introduce the teacher to you." ”
"Really?" Walnut was overjoyed, he was close to Salintau, not for this.
"Of course. Saleen replied sincerely. But in my heart, I am afraid that there will be no chance in the future. When I went to Kushui County, I practiced there with peace of mind, and after I became a great magician, it is estimated that the teacher had broken through to the sixth level and returned to the Qinyin Empire to build a magic tower.
For magicians, being promoted from level 6 to level 7 mage is the most important level in life, and if it passes, it is a magician, and if you can't get by, there will be nothing to pursue in this life.
Because the lifespan of a mage will be greatly extended, and even a sixth-level mage will only live a few decades longer than ordinary people. Decades is too short for the vastness of the wizarding world.
The teacher will definitely not see anyone at that time, including himself. Just wait.
"Salin, do you have any extra gems, sell them to me. ”
Salin despised in his heart, this is the type of insatiable greed, Walnut does not look like a magician at all, but like a merchant in Scochenia. If Salin says yes, walnuts will inevitably bargain with a dead face, and even pay on credit, this kind of face Salin has seen too much, and there are half of such people in Ceylon City.
"I also have some biotite, which is hard to price. Salin deliberately made an embarrassed expression, and Walnut really didn't continue to dwell on the matter of the gem.
Biotite can have a very poor surname, but this gem has a strange caste, and after being refined by a powerful alchemist, it can create a gem with a caste similar to chlorite. If you spend money to ask an alchemist to refine, the biggest possibility is that biotite will completely turn to ashes, and you won't get anything.
If it is not refined, the surname of biotite is relatively ordinary and has little value.
Many magicians went bankrupt for biotite, and in the end, not a single piece of chlorite was refined. This kind of mage is also ridiculed as a wealth mage.
Although walnuts are greedy, they dare not gamble. His father was a gambler and was hacked to death at a very young age.
"Your ring is white crystal. Walnut shifted his target, his eyes were quite vicious, and he didn't see anything wrong.
"Well, it was sent by the teacher. ”
Walnut felt that there was a fire burning in his heart, and Salin's teacher actually gave the student a magic ring worth tens of thousands of gold coins, why couldn't he meet such a teacher?
Life is so unfair, rich people, what do they want, and they can only suffer from a civilian background like themselves. Thinking of this, Walnut clenched his fists and was speechless for a while. Because his teeth were clenched together, he endured extremely hard.
Salin picked up his glass of water, blocking his vision, and drank a glass of repair water. He couldn't stand it anymore, and Saleen even wondered if it was a mistake for Aini to hire the Nut Mercenaries.
"The hosts. There was still a gap between Neris and Sarin, and her voice was not so loud or small that everyone could hear it, but they didn't know what she was talking about.
"What's the matter?" said Salin, putting down his glass.
"That magician has bad intentions towards you. Nellis smiled softly, from her expression, no one could tell what she was saying, only that her voice was so good, directly into the human psyche, soft.
"Don't talk nonsense, shut up. Salin was worried that Walnut could understand Gumels, after all, Walnut was also a magician.
"I'm worried about my master's safety. Nellis covered her mouth and smiled, as if she was whispering to Lichu.
Walnut felt his heart shake at this time, it was not that he didn't see Nellis's beauty, but his desire for magic made him focus all his spirit on Sarin.
"Salin, who is this young lady?" Walnut could not benefit Salin for the time being, so he shifted his target.
Flamenco coughed dissatisfied, if it weren't for the fact that the magician was really hard to find, he would have kicked the walnut out long ago. This man is too greedy. However, although the number of magicians in the Qin Yin Empire was huge, there were not many who were willing to participate in a small mercenary group. Walnut's ability is not bad, because the level is low, and it doesn't have to pay too much to keep it, so Flamengo has been patient.
Now Walnut suddenly lost the calm of a magician, and the look in her eyes was wrong, and Flamengo was naturally angry. A mercenary group, the most important thing is credibility. Even if you're a magician, you shouldn't be eye-to-eye with your employer.
Walnut suddenly had an evil fire in her heart, and she didn't even hear Flamengo's anger, and her eyes couldn't stop looking at Nellis.
Salin thought to himself, if you had seen her body, I wonder if it would be like this?, but Salin said, "This is Neris, a slave who has followed my family for generations. ”
Ani looked over in surprise, he had always thought that Neris was Sarin's protector, but he didn't expect it to be a maid. He knew that Saleen couldn't be joking, because Neris was a powerhouse who could use space equipment!
It turns out that Salin is also from a big family, and there must be a lot of power behind him. Fortunately, I didn't have evil thoughts, otherwise I would have been in big trouble. Sometimes, you offend a family more seriously than the Holy See.
At least the Holy See's hand cannot reach into the Qin Yin Empire, and a family is likely to befriend the royal family and obtain the power of revenge in order to take revenge.
