Chapter 27: Trading Again

Yesterday he didn't know the price of a question opportunity in the mage tower, but today, after some unspoken rules of the Arcane Garden, he understood the preciousness of the opportunity to ask questions.

You don't need to work a month, you only need to help ask a question once, and if you calculate Xia Duo's salary, one question is worth 3 gold coins.

But the time gained by not working can be used to do your own thing, and it is obvious that if you count these, the value of asking a question is far more than 3 gold coins, and it is impossible for Xia Duo to ask questions for Dean every day, and the service provided by Dean is not worth it.

Therefore, it is necessary to re-agree on the transaction content or change the transaction partner.

But since he missed it, Xia Duo is not ready to chase to the library to say, after all, the seller's market, you can mention it at any time.

It is still necessary to hurry up and sort out the dictionary, so that you can also use the question qualification to make more preparations in your initial stage, at least basic consumables such as pen, ink and paper cannot be missing.

Now that there is a whole book of Proverbs, Chateau first sorted out the words that began with the first two letters in the first half, and then sorted out the words starting with the third letter.

The time passed quite quickly, and when Xia Duo sorted out the 6th letter, the lights went out, and the dormitory was plunged into darkness.

9 o'clock came, and Xia Duo still had more than half of the letters unfinished, but Xia Duo believed that as he became more familiar with the "Proverbs", the progress would be faster and faster.

……

The next day, Xia Duo woke up before the "wake-up lamp" like yesterday, and remembered for a while the words that had been phonetic and paraphrased by the faint light.

As soon as 5 o'clock arrives, I will immediately go out and go to the restaurant on the first floor to get breakfast, and then I don't have to wait for the steward to arrange the work like yesterday, just go straight to the Arcane Garden.

However, because of the existence of unspoken rules, Xia Duo just showed his face in front of the Arcane Garden steward and moved on his own.

Because Dean had given him the notes for transcribing the Proverbs last night, Chardo chose to memorize the words, but instead planned to sort out all the simple dictionaries first, and then memorize them directly by reading.

It's not efficient to memorize words alone, Xia Duo has already noticed it in the past two days, but he doesn't want to waste time when the conditions are insufficient.

All morning, Xia Duo was sorting out his small dictionary of literacy tools, but unfortunately the six pieces of parchment were not used at all, except for the blanks left for phonetic transcription and paraphrasing, the rest of the place was almost full.

Of course, Xia Duo, who only had 5 silver coins on his body, couldn't afford a blank notebook, so he could only think of a way to ask questions. So, he found Sammy, who was reading a book by the river.

Xia Duo did not hide the fact that he was learning words, but went straight to the point, "Sammy, I'm sorry to disturb you, but I have something to ask you for." ”

"What's the matter?" Sammy, though a little unhappy that Xia Duo interrupted his train of thought, did not refuse.

"I wonder how much the average apprentice will pay in exchange for a question, if in gold."

Sammy suddenly laughed, "The same thing has different values in different people, if you want, I am willing to pay 15 gold coins each time in exchange for your questioning opportunity, those ordinary apprentices are usually difficult to give 15 gold coins directly." ”

15 gold coins can buy a 100-page blank notebook, Xia Duo only needs to pay a chance to ask questions, according to this calculation, Xia Duo can earn 450 gold coins a month!

However, this is at the expense of Xia Duo's own learning progress, which may be feasible at the beginning, and may need to trade with others to ask questions later!

Xia Duo thought about it for a while, and felt that it would be okay to trade with Sammy, so he directly agreed.

However, Sammy added, "I want to ask about the specific courses of a few specific masters, and you have to go to the laboratories of those teachers before you can ask questions at the end of the course. ”

As soon as he heard this, Xia Duo frowned, according to what Sami said, he would not be able to go to the initiation class, and he could not understand the class of the official mage, which was a bit of a big price.

Shado told Sammy about his magical initiation, and Sammy smiled knowingly, "We can do this, I can give you an initiation class in the morning, and you can ask me questions in the afternoon, and I will pay you another 5 gold coins for each question." ”

It is equivalent to 10 gold coins for a lesson in the enlightenment class, and it is still a separate tutoring, but Xia Duo thought about it carefully and gave up.

Compared to Sammy, Xia Duo still prefers to believe in the enlightenment class provided by the Mage Tower, and if the transaction is interrupted after a few times, it will not be the enlightenment class interrupted, and it is uncertain whether the Ganar side will repeat the class.

It seems to take advantage, but in fact, it is very likely to suffer a big loss and complicate things.

"Sammy, I think this is too troublesome, I don't think it's as good as this, I take classes at my own pace, but at the same time I can sell my own questioning opportunities, the object of the last week's question is the apprentice Garner, you help me contact the people you know who needs to ask Garner, I don't care how much you charge, I only charge you 5 gold coins each time."

The biggest problem in front of Xia Duo at the moment - in fact, it comes down to no money!

If he had a lot of gold, he could even hire a full-fledged mage to tutor him, literacy was not a problem, and some magical magic allowed him to learn the lingua franca of color in an instant.

There are ways to play with money, and there are ways to play without money. But Xia Duo didn't want to spend too much time thinking about whether he would suffer a loss, he wanted to get some basic learning resources as quickly as possible.

As was the case this morning, there was not enough parchment, there was no way to organize the dictionary, and this waste of time was the most shameful.

Time is the greatest asset, he is now 24 years old, and Sammy in front of him is only 18 years old, he is already lagging behind, how can he not catch up.

At the moment, the only thing he can use is to ask questions, and he may have a lot of questions to ask when he is receiving enlightenment, but in fact, it does not involve learning progress at all, and it is more about satisfying his curiosity.

Exchanging the qualification of asking questions for resources and time is the best solution for Xia Duo.

Sammy listened to Xia Duo's words, was silent for a while, and seemed to hear Xia Duo's subtext, so he agreed, "Yes, I will contact an apprentice for you, or you can also call a businessman, he has given up the path of magic, but concentrates on the integration of resources between apprentices, I think you may have no less opportunities to contact him in the future." ”

"Thank you."

"Don't thank me, if I introduce you to him, I will also get a lot of honorarium." Sammy's tone was flat.

Obviously, if Xia Duo couldn't ask questions for himself, Sami didn't want to waste time being a middleman, but directly introduced Xia Duo to a middleman.

……

For the rest of the morning, Xia Duo could not continue to organize the dictionary, and could only memorize some of the pronunciations and interpretations that had been sorted out before, and this continued until noon.

The mage is very efficient, and the apprentice is no exception, and Shado and Sammy hurriedly settle their lunch and then go to the library floor together.

The "Merchant's Apprentice" they were going to meet had rented a transcription room on the library floor for a long time to run his intermediary business, and it had only been two days since Xia Duo entered the Mage Tower, otherwise he would have known the name of this "Merchant's Apprentice" sooner or later.
