Chapter 118: The Face and Lining of a Formal Mage (1/4)
The hands of the formal mages are noble hands, clean hands.
Writing and receiving wisdom are the virtues of a mage.
Among the masters, the most respected act is the donation of books.
So, when leaving Maple Leaf Manor, Master Bilgou gave Rosen a thick copy of the stargazing record.
"In this record, the trajectories of six moving stars in the celestial dome are recorded, and the precise positions of about 1,400 fixed stars in the celestial dome are marked."
"According to my record, you can find the marked stars in the predetermined sky zone on any clear night of the year when there is no moon or new moon."
Speaking of this, the expression on Bilgu's face was very complicated, both proud and self-deprecating.
Of course, these records are not very good for visualization. I insisted on stargazing, in large part because of my personal curiosity about the starry sky. ”
"Everybody said I wasn't doing my job, and many people said I was wasting money, and I thought about giving up. But thirty years of perseverance have integrated stargazing into my life, and I can't stop if I want to. ”
There was a hint of loneliness written on his face, but Rosen was like a treasure.
Holding the thick stargazing record tightly in his arms, he bowed deeply to Master Bilgu to express his gratitude.
"Sir, I feel extremely honored to receive the stargazing record that you have worked hard for more than 30 years."
He was truly grateful, because this record could greatly deepen his understanding of the laws of the universe in another world, thereby increasing the efficiency of the Lord of the Universe's meditation.
In return, he promised.
"I will do my best to study this record to find the laws that govern the fate of the stars, and to bring your extraordinary observations to a successful conclusion."
Hearing this, Bilgou lost his mind.
"The law that governs the fate of the stars, can mortals like us really spy on the mysteries of the starry sky?"
He couldn't help but look up at the blue sky above him.
Rosen said seriously: "You always have to give it a try, you must be unwilling, that's why you insist on stargazing for 30 years, right?" ”
Bilgu burst into laughter, turned to Fuller, and said, "Old man, I want to thank you for bringing this lad to me. In him, I saw my younger self. ”
"No, I'm wiser and more resilient than I'm younger, and what I can't do, this young man may not be able to do."
He turned his head to look at Rosen: "I hope to see your achievements while I am still alive." In this way, I will be able to respond to the call of the Golden God with satisfaction. ”
Ailan, who was on the side, immediately said, "Uncle~ What are you talking about?!" You're only 60, and it's only natural that you're so devout to God that you live to be 90 or even 100 years old. ”
"Hahaha~"
Bilgu waved his hand: "It's not a luxury to be 100 years old, and being able to reach 90 is a great favor from God." ”
Master Fuller smiled, "Okay, okay, it's not early, so I won't say much." We will come often in the future, and if we don't drink all of your family's moonshine wine, I won't be willing to leave this world. ”
"Hahaha~~ You old thing, either drinking or smoking, be careful of taking bad young people."
The crowd laughed.
After a few more pleasantries, Rosen followed Fuller out of Maple Leaf Manor.
Sitting back in Fuller's carriage, Rosen finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and apologized to Fuller.
"Sir, I'm very interested in this stargazing record, and I can't wait to read it."
Fuller was stuffing tobacco into his pipe, and when he heard this, he looked up at Lawson and laughed: "The stars in the sky are eternal, is it so interesting?" ”
Rosen said to himself, 'It's not particularly interesting, but who made this thing matter for my strength and future?' ’
But you can't say that.
"Sir, have you thought of a question?"
"Tell me about it." Fuller vigorously stuffed the tobacco.
"You see, throw a stone at random, and its ultimate fate will fall to the earth. If a mage wants to fly in the air, he must also consume a lot of mana. ”
Fuller immediately became a little interested: "As soon as you say that, things suddenly become more interesting."
Rosen continued.
But the stars in the sky are suspended in the heavens almost eternally. Then I couldn't help but wonder, what kind of power makes them float there and not fall? ”
"What kind of power does it make the sun, the source of the scorching flame, cruise through the sky again and again?"
"If we can find this power, wouldn't we, like mortal mages, have spied into the mysteries of the gods?"
'Bang Da~'
Fuller was stunned by the question, and the tobacco bag in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously.
It took him a moment to come to his senses, look at Rosen with a very complicated gaze, and muttered quickly.
"You little thing loves diamond eyes as much as Bilgu. Before Bilgu kicked his legs, he probably got what he wanted. ”
The mage's hand picked up the tobacco pouch and continued to fill it into the pipe: "Look at me, leave me alone." ”
Rosen began to carefully flip through the stargazing records.
Turn to the first page, and there is the chapter table of contents.
Chapter 1 Title: 'Detailed Rules for the Division of Heavenly Zones'.
Chapter 2 Title: 'The Seasons Diverge, the Pas de Deux of Mother Earth and Father of the Sun'.
Chapter 3 Title: 'One of the Moving Stars: Murquelli, the ancient god of flight, travel and adventure, and mischievous gods'.
After a cursory glance at the catalog, Rosen's heart couldn't help but beat faster: "Bilgu is really a rigorous and meticulous stargazer who does not lose his literary art. ’
He has a habit of reading books, he doesn't like to follow the steps, he likes to read them roughly first, and then go back and start reading intensively.
After reading the title, he flipped through the text.
After turning a few pages, I suddenly felt that there was something abnormal on the page, as if something was clipped, and I felt strange in my heart, and I quickly turned over and saw three thin sheets of blue gold paper.
"Huh~ What's this?"
Lawson reached out and took out the blue gold paper.
Fuller heard the voice, turned his head to look, and laughed.
"This is a greeting gift from the elders to the newcomers of the Temple Sect. Do you look at the smallest one first and see what the numbers are on it? ”
Rosen picked up the smallest one, about the size of four business cards, and opened it to see the words 'Silver Moon Fort Full Moon Bank Stub, Cash can be withdrawn with a ticket'.
Just below the paper, on the space, is printed the amount of 5,000 crowns.
"It's 5,000."
He told the truth, and there was a thought in his heart: 'The big guy is so bold to make a move!' ’
The smile on Fuller's face was even stronger: "It's actually Dingge's support." It seems that Bilgou is very happy with you, the new junior. ”
Seeing that Rosen was a little puzzled, he explained, "Bilgu is the most loyal supporter of the Golden God, and he is also the powerhouse of our Temple Sect mage. ”
"As the current patriarch of the Demetlan family, one of the three ancient families in the Yellow Water Heights, Master Bilegu is generous and forgiving, and he likes to support promising juniors the most."
"Whenever a young mage joins the Divine Temple Sect, Master Bilegu will give him a greeting gift as usual."
"Its purpose is not only to show the care of the elders for the juniors, but also to allow the young mages to quickly have a basic dignity."
Speaking of this, Fuller spat out the window: "As an official Divine Seal Mage, there are four necessary decencies. ”
"A decent place to live, a good carriage, a staff worth more than 300 crowns, and a spellbook bound entirely in blue and gold paper."
"Decent shelter you already have. When you go back, you have to prepare everything else. ”
Rosen nodded earnestly: "I will." ”
He understood that this was like a poor scholar in ancient times on the earth who passed the Jinshi examination, and the emperor would reward him, and the big families would also come to give money, gifts and even land, helping the new Jinshi decorate the basic façade.
Otherwise, a ragged Jinshi with four walls of his family will lose the face of all people of the same class.
Fuller straightened his face again, and began to admonish.
"Both I and Bilegu think you're a promising mage, but you also have a very serious shortcoming."
"But any mage who comes from a poor background, because he has longed for a rich life since he was a child, and suddenly gains a lot of money and a high position, will be dazzled by gold and power, so that he will indulge in his existing achievements, and stop in his magic, or even regress."
"In a few years, the once dazzling aura will fade and become an unenterprising ordinary mage."
With that, he looked at Rosen.
"Sir Filand, I warn you that wealth and status are nothing more than an add-on to the pursuit of the path of magic, not the goal of a mage."
"The true decency of a mage is the achievement of magic."
"If you don't have the magic to achieve, these foreign objects will soon be gone from you. And if you are bent on pursuing magic and becoming a powerful mage, then even if you don't do anything, these earthly interests will automatically converge on you. ”
"Do you understand?"
These Rosen certainly understand, but he will not show it.
He had an educated humility on his face.
"Thank you for your kind teachings, Venerable Fuller, I will take everything you just said to heart, use it as a criterion, reflect on myself every day, and try not to deviate from the right path of a mage."
"Well, it's good to listen to it."
Fuller's expression softened a lot, and he pointed to the other two blue gold papers: "If I'm not mistaken, the big one should be an inheritance." ”
Rosen picked it up and said, "The Thornfield Blueberry Orchard, which covers an area of 500 labans, will be in my name for the next fifty years." ”
Fuller laughed: "Bilgu, this old thing, finally came up with something real." The orchard earns at least 1,500 crowns a year. Fifty years of income is yours, enough to free you from most of your earthly worries in your lifetime. ”
Rosen became more and more emotionally lamented by the generous shots of the top-level bosses.
In order to support the dignity of the new mage he valued, he waved his hand for 5,000 crowns in cash, and also thoughtfully solved the income problem for the next fifty years.
The 1,500 crowns plus the income from the territory means that Rosen has a stable income of 1,800 crowns every year without worrying about anything, and can live a comfortable life that ordinary civilians dare not even imagine.
From another point of view, it can also be seen that the boss of the temple faction took a fancy to his growth potential, so he made a large increase in investment in exchange for his own returns in the future.
Fuller added: "Since such a high level of support has been given. The last one should be a permanent invitation to the tea party. ”
Lawson picked it up and looked at it, and sure enough, it was like that.
If you hold this post, you will be a guest of the Maple Tea Party. ’
Fuller handed the pipe to Lawson, and when Lawson lit it, he began to introduce the tea party.
"The Maple Tea Party is held all year round. A small tea party every seven days and a big tea party once a month. You have nothing to do to participate in it, you can not only exchange feelings with everyone, but also gain a lot of magic inspiration. ”
"I will."
That's exactly what Rosen wants.
At this time, the carriage arrived at the green leaf city, turned around the street a few times, and stopped at the gate of the Sunshine Courtyard.
"Go back, young man, and don't rub my carriage next time you go to the tea party."
Rosen smiled slightly: "Old man, your carriage is full of smoke, and I won't even invite me." ”
"Haha~ You little bastard~ Let's go~"
After Lawson got out of the car, Fuller waved his hand happily at Lawson, and the carriage quickly drove away from the Sunshine Building.
Rosen stood at the gate of the courtyard, holding Bilgo's stargazing record in his arms, and watched the carriage disappear around the corner before returning to the Sunshine Building.
At this time, his mentality changed a lot.
In other words, there is a lot more confidence.
"If the weak-willed people are messed up like this, maybe they will sing every night. How can you still have the heart to spend a lot of energy and take a big risk to study magic. ”
"Therefore, a life of material abundance is both the best aid to progress and the poison of a rotten will."
However, the glory of the gods has faded, and the troubled times are coming, and we must also chase extraordinary dreams, if we don't want to be abandoned by time, we must strive to move forward!
Yesterday, because the title was too wild to be blocked chapters, I don't dare to do it in the future, so I can only write some chapter names that are not so wild.
