Sitting in a luxurious carriage with a huge sum of forty gold lundes, Xia Lin felt a sense of complacency in his heart.

Not only because of the smooth implementation of his plan, but also because the various knowledge he learned in his previous life was recognized by this world for the first time, of course, he believes that in the future, such recognition will be more and more.

But now he has one more trouble to solve, which is to go to the garrison of the army in the north to cancel his sergeant contract.

"Coachman, please take me to the Northern Frontier Army Garrison in the Central District!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

The coachman replied respectfully from outside the carriage that Xia Lin was a friend of the Greg family, which meant that these servants should treat Xia Lin like a respected guest, and a temporary diversion was naturally not a trouble.

Xia Lin took out a gold lunt from the linen bag in the carriage and admired the casting pattern on it for a while, then took out another fourteen and carefully placed them in the pocket of the mage's robe, and the rest of the gold lunt was received in the safest armpocket of his body.

When he stepped on the potholed stone road in the city again, Xia Lin's heart was full of emotion.

At that time, he didn't expect that the plan would go so smoothly when he drew up Plan A, and now in front of him was the northern military garrison that had plagued him for several days, an ordinary two-story building that looked like a hotel.

Xia Lin stood outside the residence for a moment, and then without hesitation, he walked through the door and walked into the residence, the first floor of the residence was shaped like a tavern, filled with tables and chairs.

In the innermost part is a counter, behind which sits a man with a gloomy face, with a pair of deep bags on his face on his narrow shoehorn face, and the hooked nose under the eyes makes his temperament deeper.

"Who?"

When Xia Lin entered, the man seemed to be looking at the account books or files, and when he heard Xia Lin's footsteps, he immediately raised his head vigilantly, and his eyes shot sharply at Xia Lin.

"I'm Charin Carr, a sergeant student of the Royal Academy of Magic in the Imperial Capital, and I'm here to break my contract with the Northern Military."

Ren is tempered by society, Xia Lin's heart felt a little heavy in the face of this man's gaze, he faintly felt that this man should have killed many people, but all this had nothing to do with him, so he calmed down and spoke.

“……”

"Break the contract? It's really rare. ”

After staring at Xia Lin for a moment of silence, the man muttered, his gaze returned to the parchment book on the counter, hesitated for a moment before closing the booklet, took a cane from the counter with his right hand, and struggled to get up and face the wooden frame behind him.

After rummaging through the wooden shelf, the man took out a wooden box, he limped back to his place again, opened the wooden box and rummaged through it, and finally took out a piece of parchment and pushed it down the countertop to Xia Lin:

"This is your sergeant contract, just take it and tear it up or burn it, no one will trouble you for it."

Holding his sergeant contract out of the northern military garrison and stepping into the sunshine again, Xia Lin only felt as if he had loosened a shackle, and even the sunset in the sky was full of hope.

Without hesitation, he tore up the parchment worth fifteen gold lunts, burned the pile to ashes with a flaming arrow, and headed for the academy.

Although he didn't shout, the smile on his lips and his increasingly brisk steps showed that he was clearly in a good mood right now.

"From now on, I will be the First Ring Mage and Honorary Sir Charlem Carr!"

Xia Lin said to himself silently.

……

After buying a few cheap black bread rights for dinner, returning to the dormitory building, and climbing up the crunching wooden stairs in the dark, Xia Lin suddenly remembered the key that his friend had given him.

He opened the door of his room, found the candle and flint in the dark, knocked it for a long time and finally lit the candle, and then went to Harper's dormitory to see what useful things his friend had left.

After some searching, Xia Lin found that Harper had thrown away a lot of things.

Three or four sheets of clean parchment, half a bottle of ink, and two dipping pens with dull tips, I think Harper thinks he can still use these things, so he will give the key to himself.

Although these things have lost most of their role for the current Xia Lin, the sincere affection of the young man contained in them makes an old fritter like Xia Lin inevitably a little moved.

Xia Lin decided to simply make the plan to "redeem" Harper now.

After handing over the fifteen gold lunds that had terminated the contract, Xia Lin still had twenty-five gold lunds on hand.

Considering that the various studies of magic that he would carry out in the future might not be able to be completed by one person, he decided to lend Harper fifteen gold lundes, and then hire him as his assistant at the salary of five silver mar a day.

A one-ring mage who had mastered the writing scroll could earn about three to four silver coins a day, and Xia Lin felt that Harper's daily salary of five silver coins should be a reasonable payment.

As for the remaining ten gold lundes, Xia Lin plans to buy a house in the North District for his family to move over, and then leave some money for them as living expenses.

It will cost about four to five golden, and the money left over from buying the house is the start-up capital for his next project.

Thinking of his parents who worked hard to raise his three siblings in his life, as well as the eldest brother who always took care of himself and his sister, and the distressing sister who was as thin as a monkey, Xia Lin showed a smile.

He no longer has the opportunity to repay his family and friends in his previous life, but can only cherish his current family and friends even more.

The next day, after eating the brown bread left over from the previous night, Charlin went to the Central District to look for Harper's house.

Although he had never been to Harper's house, he knew that the name of the tailor shop owned by Harper's family was "Cole's Tailor's Shop", and it seemed to be located near the market in the Central District.

However, Harper's tailor shop was obviously not as well-known as the Greg Chamber of Commerce, and he asked passers-by around, but no one knew where the tailor's shop was.

Just when he was standing outside the market and regretted why he didn't ask the location of Harper's house in the first place, an aunt selling vegetables at the edge of the market stepped forward and hesitated to talk:

"Master Mage, you're looking for Harper Cole, right?"

"That's right, I'm Harper's classmate, and something came to him today."

Hearing the words of the eldest aunt, Xia Lin was suddenly excited, but he didn't expect that there were people who knew Harper in this market.

But it's right to think about it, every child in the empire who is detected by the mage guild will cause a stir in the local area.

I think that if I had just asked where the child who was tested for being a mage three years ago lived, I might have found a way long ago.

"Then Master Mage, please come with me! I'm Harper's kid's neighbor! ”

Seeing that Xia Lin didn't seem to have the shelf that she imagined the mage to be high, the aunt secretly breathed a sigh of relief, wiped her hands with her apron and greeted warmly.

Xia Lin followed the enthusiastic aunt through the winding alleys, and it wasn't long before he saw the wooden sign of Cole's tailor's shop on a path that was no more than three meters wide.
