Chapter 68: It's the number one person
The second floor of the Mage's Guild.
Jujutsu Thesis Review Hall.
Fuller sat in his chair, face to face with Thrandis.
"Lady Thrandis, what's the name of your new spell?"
"Rosen's Rush. Isn't it clearly written in the paper? Thrandis gestured to the side of the paper.
Fuller raised his eyebrows: "I thought it was just a temporary name, and the final name should be Thrandis Rush." β
After a pause, he admonished again.
"I know your apprentice is doing well, and you love your apprentice very much, and you can even say spoiled, but naming a spell is a very strict thing, and it is better not to put personal feelings lightly."
Thrandis's face was indifferent, and he looked indifferent.
"It's not personal. The inspiration for this thesis was basically from my apprentice, but he was not yet a formal mage, so I was the mentor who sent it on his behalf. β
"Even if it's on behalf of me, I already feel very ashamed, if I want to deprive the right to name the spell, it will be despicable and shameless."
Master Fuller didn't expect to get such an answer, but after a little taste, he thought it was reasonable.
Because this paper uses low-level low-star spells as a starting point, it is completely different from Thrandis's past style, but I didn't expect it to be the handiwork of an elementary school apprentice.
He turned his head to look at the silent young man on the side, and for the first time began to look at him seriously.
He was short, thin, and had a strong immature aura, like a sapling that had not yet grown, but his eyes were bright and firm, and he could not see the shyness and sensitivity of a young man at all.
Thinking back to his previous performance in magic, Fuller suddenly had a good impression of this young man.
"Is what your mentor said true?"
Rosen didn't expect Thrandis to be so insistent, in fact, he didn't expect the right to name the spell in the first place, but since the matter has come to this point, he naturally wants to protect the reputation of the mentor.
"My mentor was a man of integrity and nobility who never disdained to lie."
After a pause, he explained.
"Of course, the original inspiration for the thesis did come from me, but the completion of this magic paper is inseparable from the professional knowledge of my mentor, so I personally do not pursue the title of spell."
Fuller suddenly laughed: "Everyone else is desperately trying to leave their names on spells, but you masters and apprentices are good and humble." β
After thinking about it for a while, he smiled and said, "Why don't you take one word for each of your names, it's called Thero Assault?" β
"By the way, and this ingenious levitation technique, also called Thureau's levitation?"
Thrandis glanced at his apprentice, and Rosen winked in agreement.
She didn't insist: "Yes." β
Once the spell name is decided, Mage Fuller immediately moves on to the next step: evaluating the value of the paper.
"There is no doubt that the Thurro Rush is an extremely valuable burst movement technique."
"Not only has it greatly lowered the threshold for the application of the Burst Movement Technique, but it has also greatly improved the combat effectiveness of low-level mages. The principle of its spells has greatly improved the foundation of gravity-based spells. β
"It is foreseeable that gravity-based spells will be greatly developed under the impetus of this achievement."
The old mage pressed one hand on the manuscript paper, and his voice was clear, as if he were giving a speech.
"In addition, the paper accurately defines the purely abstract concept of 'force'. It affects not only the arts, but also all aspects of society. β
"In that respect, this treatise on spells is priceless."
"But!"
The old master's tone changed: "According to the rules of paper review, the follow-up social impact is not calculated because it is immeasurable, and its value should be judged by the latecomers. β
"At present, the only thing that can be calculated is the Thureau Rush and its outstanding contribution to the field of gravity-like spells."
With that, he looked at Thrandis and gave his final conclusion.
"In addition to the great prestige, this paper will bring you a direct income of 100 crowns."
"As for the Thurro Assault. If you share, then for each one sold, you will be given 2 grams of profit for 10 years. In the case of a one-time buyout, it is 200 crowns. β
"ThurΓ³ levitation, very delicate, but too low in strength, the price is a quarter of the price of the rush. The buyout price is 50 CZK. β
"Now, tell me your options."
The two had already discussed it.
Thrandis whispered, "I'll pick a buyout......"
"Wait a minute."
Before he could finish speaking, President Faeron's voice came from the door.
He strode in and stood at the edge of the round table.
In the hall, all the mages stood up and saluted, proclaiming that they would be presidents.
Feron waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go their own way, and he strode over to Master Fuller's round table.
"According to the rules of the Mage's Guild, this paper and these two spells combined can only give a price of 350 crowns."
"But there is a noble figure who thinks that if you send the author of the paper for only 350 crowns, it is to highlight the stinginess and stupidity of the mage world of Silvermoon Castle."
"So, the venerable man made an exception and raised the bounty by adding this to the 350 crown."
As he spoke, Master Pheren took out a deed written on blue and gold paper.
"The ownership of the two-story stone building and the surrounding courtyards in the green leaf urban area, with a total land area of 3.6 rams."
As soon as these words came out, all the mages present gasped and looked at Thrandis with envy.
In Silvermoon Castle, the Green Leaf City is the second best urban area after the Moon Moon City, built less than fifty years ago, basically all the buildings are stone, and it is one of the richest gathering areas in Silvermoon Castle.
A yard of 3.6 rams, that price is at least 2000 kroner or more.
Rosen was also secretly surprised: '3.6 Ram, which is equivalent to three acres of land on the earth. This yard is not small. β
Ferron placed the deed on the table, tapped his finger lightly, and smiled kindly at Thrandis.
"Madam, this deed is yours, you can handle it at will, you can live in it, buy and sell, rent it, you can do it."
Thrandis was also very surprised, but she had been a noble lady and had seen the world, and she still maintained a calm expression at this time.
She felt strange and worried.
"Which big man is so generous?"
Feron shrugged his shoulders: "The big man has chosen to hide his name, but believe me, it's just a generous gift to reward you for the virtue of being willing to share your precious knowledge, nothing else. β
With that, he turned around and left the dissertation review department.
As soon as the president left, the pressure of the mages in the hall dropped sharply, and there was a lot of discussion.
"Who is so generous?"
"This paper is really profitable, such a good house~ Oh, I have earned 20 years of work in the guild."
"That apprentice's name is Lawson, isn't it? At a young age, the ability to cast spells is not simple. β
"I know that kid, maybe he has some talent for magic, but he's a moral traitor!"
"Wow~~ The snow spirit bird that fell in the mud flew back to the branches~"
Mage Fuller had already roughly guessed the identity of the big man, and he shrugged his shoulders, "Miss Thrandis, you've been really lucky lately. β
Thrandis had also vaguely guessed, so she was relieved, after all, she didn't have anything for the big man to plot.
A faint smile rarely appeared on her face: "Yes, I have been lucky lately, probably because I have been favored by the goddess of fate." β
As she spoke, she glanced at the apprentice who was standing silently beside her, and the smile on her face became even stronger.
"But I'm still going to buy it all at once, so pay me 350 crowns."
Fuller shrugged, "I admit that the settlement system of the Mage's Guild is slow and error-prone, but since you have big people to take care of you, you can't make big mistakes." β
"If it is a long-term settlement, the total harvest may exceed 1,000 crowns."
Thrandis shook his head and said firmly, "I insist."
"Okay then."
After some manipulation, Master Fuller handed a note to his deputy: "Alder~ go get the money."
While waiting to get the money, Mage Fuller turned his attention to Lawson and asked with a smile, "Young man, have you all the three virtues and six skills?"
Three virtues and six skills, that is, the 9 standard spells that a formal mage must master, three supports, and six attacks.
As is etiquette, Rosen first looks at the mentor for advice.
"Mage Fuller is an elder, you can tell us honestly about the problem of spells."
Since the mentor recognized the other party's character, Rosen told him the truth.
"I'm still learning, and I've only learned one virtue and one skill so far."
One virtue is the art of flying, and the other skill is the technique of missiles.
Master Fuller was a little surprised: "You should have just learned it for a while, right?" Or are there other mentors in the past? β
Thrandis had come to submit his paper a month and a half ago, and that time alone.
"I've only been studying for two months." Rosen still didn't hide it.
Showing talent may be jealous of competitors, but it can also be appreciated by big people.
Sure enough, Fuller was shocked.
"That's it in two months. And what about meditation, how long has it been? β
"Half a year." Rosen added a few numbers, for fear of scaring people.
"There is low-level mana in half a year...... Heh~ Miss Thrandis, you're about to catch up with the record you set back then. β
Coincidentally, Fuller also graduated from Winterfell's Rafarea Academy, so he knew a little about Thrandis's past.
Thrandis shook his head faintly.
"The lower level is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go. It is not a good thing that Master Fuller behaves like this, and it is easy for my apprentice to become complacent. β
"Okay, okay."
Fuller smiled gently, opened the drawer, took out a certificate note made of blue and gold paper, signed his name and handed it to Lawson.
"Miss Thrandis and I are alumni and friends. She's in a much better state of mind this time than before, and it seems that you've fulfilled your apprenticeship duties well. β
"As an elder, I have to give you a greeting gift."
"Oh~ This is a purchase voucher for a low-level four-star spell, take it."
Rosen was stunned: "Master Fuller, this is too precious."
Such spells sell for at least 40 crowns, which is a bit of a big gift.
Thrandis said, "Master Fuller is very happy to bring the younger juniors, so take it."
Rosen took it with both hands respectfully, "Thank you very much for your generosity, Mr. Fuller, I will definitely focus on the spell and live up to your high expectations."
Fuller was very happy and smiled heartily: "Haha, what a smart and polite young man."
Rosen secretly said in his heart, "I have entered the mage circle. β
At the beginning, Cyrus went into the mountains to suppress bandits in order to earn 10 crowns, but now he has a powerful mentor, and he is directly given a spell of 40 crowns.
After a while, Master Alder took the money and put it in a flat wooden box, neatly arranged in seven rows, each row of fifty golden crowns, which made people's eyes squint.
"Put it away."
Naturally, Lawson came to do the vulgar work of receiving money, and he still saluted first, and then took the wooden box with both hands.
Thrandis then said goodbye to Fuller, and the two left the dissertation review department.
Walking into the hall again, Rosen found that a lot of eyes fell on him, surprised, envious, and jealous.
I vaguely heard the discussion of 'one paper and one house' and 'fate is unfair, and morally corrupt people have a spring'.
In short, after this experience, no matter whether the reputation is good or bad, the Silver Moon Castle mage world completely knows that Rosen is such a number one person.
So, I am now on the outskirts of the Silvermoon Castle mage circle, and some people are jealous and some people appreciate it. β
I don't know if there's a chance to go to the C position.
Sitting back in the carriage again, Thrandis said, "Save the money and prepare for the exam."
In private, Rosen was much more relaxed: "Mentor, I can save money for painting, can I use this money to decorate my new home?"
Thrandis was impressed, but refused.
"A new home...... No, the house is too big and expensive to live in. Let's rent it. β
Rosen doesn't think so, how can such a wonderful person as a mentor live in a dilapidated log cabin all the time?
"Mentor, have you ever heard a word?"
"What?"
"The best ingredients of Silver Moon Fort are sent to Mochizuki, followed by green leaves, and they are sold to major markets again."
"Good ingredients make real food."
Thrandis's heart fluttered, and the saliva in his mouth sped up.
"But the cost of living in the green leaf area is really high, and if you live there, it's hard to save money."
"Then find a way to earn more...... You see, I am now a little famous for painting, not only painting beautiful women, but also going to large families to paint portraits of people. β
"It's a serious job, the income is good, it's stable, and you don't have to worry about insufficient income."
This is very convincing, after all, people yearn for a better life.
Thrandis was finally convinced: "Okay, then move."
