Public courses only teach the knowledge below the second-level apprentice, and after being promoted to the second-level, whether it is the theory of witchcraft or the information of the promotion to the third-level, you need to buy the magic stone.

Therefore, if Roman wants to continue his cultivation, he must first accumulate magic stones before he can obtain resources.

Selling runestones was a shortcut for him, but it wasn't safe to sell them to the academy store, so he had to sell them to the black market, which didn't see the light.

At the dinner table, Emma handed over the address of the black market, and Roman took it and couldn't help frowning.

The Black Market is located in the Mountains of Sorrow, deep in the Mana District, where puppy devourers can be found everywhere, and only a third-level apprentice can compete with them.

Don't think about the airship, there is no route at all.

Therefore, leaving the academy and crossing the Mana District, you must have at least the combat power of a third-level apprentice, but Roman is only a second-level apprentice, and the only few rune stones in his hand cannot make up for the combat power gap.

So he asked in frustration, "Is this the only black market?" I'm a second-level apprentice, so I can't get there at all. ”

Emma saw Roman's predicament, took a sip of a refreshing drink, and said with a faint smile:

"It's really only this place, but there is a way to get there, because around the black market, there is a fortress of the hunting team, and there are direct airships in the fortress, and there are a large number of first- and second-level apprentices."

Roman's eyes lit up, and he immediately remembered what William had said about the task of transporting supplies, and Emma continued:

"They have been stationed outside all year round, collected a lot of resources, and have trading needs, but the academy store does not have a branch there, so in order to sell resources, they can only go to the black market."

Roman was overjoyed when he heard this, which meant that as long as he went to the Hunter stronghold, he could get in touch with the black market.

As a result, a vague idea came to mind, and under the super computing of the chip, it gradually became concrete and clear.

Roman fell into thought, the two were silent for a while, Emma finished the drink in the cup, got up to say goodbye, when Roman took her hand.

"Emma, please wait a minute! I need your help. ”

He held his head high, made a cute and pitiful appearance, and prayed with a hopeful gaze.

Emma's face turned red and trembled, Roman's demeanor electrocuted her, but she immediately stabilized her mind, adjusted her thoughts, withdrew her jade hand, and said in shame:

"What do you want to do? Declare in advance that I will never sacrifice my own interests for your sake! ”

Then she realizes that this is the first time Roman has taken the initiative to touch her.

Hearing this, Roman smiled confidently: "I promise never, and I swear, this matter is only good for you, no harm." ”

Emma was curious, so she asked, "Oh? What is that, let's hear it. ”

Roman smiled mysteriously: "Lend me 300 magic stones, and after two months, I will pay you back with interest." ”

"Huh? You mean let me invest in you! What kind of interest is this? Emma looked dismissive:

"I advise you to stop dreaming! I admit that Roman you have potential, but there are people who are more talented than you? Instead of investing in you, it is better to give it to Canon! ”

"Five-fold return!"

Roman raised one of his index fingers and said categorically:

"In a month, I'll give you five times in return! Another thing you get wrong, it's not an investment, it's a loan! I swear to the Eye of Judgment that if I don't, I'll die!" ”

Roman said it categorically, and his courage shocked Emma at once.

Wizards, whether cultivating or researching, often spend a lot of money, and they are often shy of money, so they will raise money, and then repay the money with interest after the results are produced.

But this kind of investment is limited liability, and there is no life involved, and if the wizard fails, it is like a company on Earth that goes bankrupt, and the investor can only consider himself unlucky.

But Roman swore with his life as soon as he came up, which is extremely rare and crazy, but it also greatly boosted investment confidence.

Emma lowered her head and thought for a moment and asked, "You want this magic stone, is it related to the black market?" ”

Roman nodded: "That's right, if the operation in the black market is successful, it will bring a lot of returns!" ”

Emma shook her head and said disdainfully, "The road to the black market is not easy, what if you die?" Won't I get my money back? ”

Roman smiled and said: "If I die, you are unlucky, a great philosopher said that as long as there is a profit of three hundred percent, a merchant dares to trample on all the laws of the world, and I have five times the return here, the usury of the usury, don't you be moved?" ”

Emma was silent, it was undeniable that she was moved, but three hundred magic stones was not a small amount, and once Roman died, she would be broken.

But the fivefold reward tempted her, and if she succeeded, these magic stones would be enough for her to be promoted to a third-level apprentice, and even have a surplus.

Judging from the past relationship between the two, she knows that Roman is a rational and cautious person, who thinks deeply about everything, and it is impossible to play with his own life.

After several weighings, Emma nodded in agreement, "Okay, you convinced me, but it will take time to take out 300 magic stones." ”

It's done! Roman was excited, and immediately said enthusiastically: "It's okay, just give it to me in the next few days, I just need some time to prepare." ”

At this time, Emma added solemnly: "But the contract needs to be changed, if you don't die, and you don't have the magic stone, I don't want you to die, then I won't get anything." ”

Roman nodded in agreement, "So what do you want?" I agree with both. ”

Emma laughed cruelly and said, "When I am my slave and pit my magic stone, I will definitely make your life worse than death!" ”

Roman raised his forehead and said helplessly: "Okay, your vindictiveness is really strong. ”

The two then swear an oath to the Eye of Judgment and then say goodbye to each other, with Emma going to raise money and Roman going to make runestones.

A few hours later, Roman looked at the two rune stones in his hand, his eyes full of pride.

Other wizards failed many times, wasted many magic stones, and took a week to achieve results, Roman did in just a few hours.

It has to be said that the progress of technology will increase geometrically from the impetus to productivity.

The next day, Emma found Roman and handed him a package: "You take it, there are 300 magic stones in it, and from now on, the contract is officially established!" ”

Then, as if she was not at ease, she advised: "After two months, you will return 1,500 magic stones to me, do you know?" ”

Roman opened the package, inspected it, and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, under the supervision of the Eye of Judgment, no one dares to break the contract, I still have something, let's not talk about it for now." ”

Roman turned around and left, leaving Emma alone and frowning, for some reason, she felt very unwilling.

Although he promised to pay back five times, but apart from her Emma, would anyone else dare to lend you the magic stone to Roman?

In return, shouldn't Roman stay with her and talk a few more words to make her happy? Like now when you get the money, turn around and leave, like what words!

"I wish you a lifetime of loneliness!" Emma scolded viciously.

If Roman hears it, he will definitely scold the woman for being unreasonable.

He really had something, and after getting the magic stone, he immediately went to Zimbardo's mentor's laboratory.
