Meditation rituals are a catalyst that aids perception and affinity.

Annan learned to cast spells, mastered meditation, and sensed the vortex of magical power, but still could not enter a meditative state without the help of meditation rituals like Michael did.

So he still needs the aid of meditation rituals.

And in order to speed up the magic vortex and grow himself from level 1 to level 2 warlock, Annan needs more and better magic materials.

Seven hundred gold coins solved Annan's urgent need for magic materials. You can even have the luxury of buying high-grade magic materials or potions.

Then Annan was deterred by the price on the label.

Seven hundred gold coins, a year's worth of business tax for a block, the income that hundreds of families can earn for a whole year, and a valuable magic ring can be bought.

If Annan were a commoner, he would have bought a house in Breeze, fell in love with a girl, and then aged so that he should have some left until the day he died. But he's a spellcaster, and the money is spent in the blink of an eye, and he wonders, "What did I buy?" ”。

Annan had to add some magic materials a little, at least for now, he still needs to pursue cost-effectiveness.

After buying nearly a month's worth of magic materials, and then buying the wheels, spindles, and parts needed for forty-nine Susan spinning machines, there were nearly two hundred jinnars gone.

This is still Annan's discount by virtue of the charm of a warlock.

The rest can no longer be moved, and Annan still needs money to hoard cotton.

Andrew Luna vacates an area for Annan in the warehouse. Now the spinning mill on the first floor and the spinning mill on the second floor don't look so inconsistent.

As he became proficient, Dorai was able to assemble a spinning wheel every day, but it was still too slow for the wine lady and Annan themselves to wait fifty days for the price of cotton to rise.

Let Martin help...... Annan didn't want to smash his own signboard yet.

"Can you call your people to come and help?"

"Is that okay?!"

Dorai shouted in surprise that it had begun to miss its people.

"Of course you can, but it's 10 silver to assemble a spinning machine."

This is not a problem, the job that used to pay 1 silver coin a week made Annan happy, not to mention the poorer goblin race.

Michael was parked downstairs, and Annan ran to him to borrow it and teach Dorai how to drive the mage's carriage.

"I want to buy something to take home...... The people will believe me! "Clever goblins want to return home.

Annan thought about it and had nothing to do for the time being, and the purchase of cotton was completely left to Andrew Luna, who was also involved. Asked where the bazaar was, he took Dorai to the bazaar.

Dorai was not involved in the purchase of cotton. Cleverness is not the same as wisdom – Dorai is smart, but lacks the wisdom that comes with experience. For its part, it should be in the bag rather than taking risks.

"Food...... Clothes...... Tool ......"

Annan put food last, first buying a batch of iron pickaxes, axes, hoes, tools that can improve the situation of the goblin tribe, and then clothes. Goblins have a soft spot for leather armor, but new leather armor costs at least a few dozen silver coins, and Dorai mutters "too expensive, too expensive" and wants to give up. But Annan knew where cheap leather armor was available—he had heard it from the tavern.

……

The mage's carriage drove into the alley behind the mercenary hall, which was full of people and a miasma of smoke and sewage. Fresh beast corpses, mud-stained herbs, unknown magic items, and blood-stained weapons and leather armor are displayed on the roadside.

People who dream of finding treasures and get rich overnight are picking, and Michael once scoffed at this: "Who would put good things on the rags and sell them? ”

However, Dolai still muttered about the high price, and chose a stall that sold tattered leather armor by the pound.

"Are you sure?"

Annan asked if he wanted to buy these tattered dorai.

"Many of my clansmen don't even have clothes, and these leather armors are just right for them to wear."

Annan liked this frugality, so he bought the pile, which also weighed 56 pounds, for 56 copper coins per pound.

Weapons are also sold by the pound, but Dorai has no interest in scrap metal, and although goblins are as short as dwarves, they are not good at forging. And even if it was a mutilated second-hand weapon, the price made Dorai painful, and he only bought a few short swords with missing blades, which were long swords for goblins.

Eventually, they went to the granary store and filled the rest of the wagon.

Having bought a wagon full of goods, Dorai had 3 kinnars left. The side shows how much money the caster spends, so much so that Annan has some advantages - I spent a dozen jinnars to only have a small bag.

"I'll bring my people back soon."

Dorai assured Annan that he would ride away in a white mage carriage like a goblin.

Standing on the street and watching Dorai leave, Annan was about to go back when he saw a dirty little boy standing on the side of the road, staring at the bakery and sucking his fingers.

Annan went back to the tavern and took a pound of bread, approached the little boy and handed it to him, touched his head, and turned back.

The clear eyes looked at the tavern in a daze, and soon a maid dressed as a maid came to the boy with a bag of black bread.

"Let's go back."

The little boy looked up and said, "Sister, I see my brother." ”

The girl smiled gently: "My brother is not in Breeze City, he is making money somewhere else." ”

"Really! He also bought me bread! The little boy held up the bread incoherently, "This is what he gave me!" ”

……

Annan, who returned to the attic, lay on the windowsill, staring at the little spider in the glass bottle, thinking about the spinning wheel:

Dorai and his people should be back the day after tomorrow, and in ten days they will be able to complete the 50 spinning wheels requested by the Wine Lady. But they need a place to start and live.

Luckily, Andrew Luna is a big landlord. Running to him for land, Andrew Luna said, "I can't use up the warehouse, set aside half of it for those goblins?" The rent is good at the normal market rate. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Annan received an invitation letter from the Wine Lady inviting him to the dinner tomorrow.

As soon as Annan was about to accept the offer, Michael brought bad news: he had been reported to the Mage Tower for misusing the carriage and he was deprived of the right to use it.

"It seems like a coincidence...... "Michael muttered to himself.

Without the protection of the mage tower carriage, Annam's travel was no longer safe.

"Could it be that the Wine Lady is tempting?"

"It can't be! Well, in fact, we know about the Reeves family in Hirabayashi Town, but we have kept it a secret for you. If the wine lady wanted to do it wouldn't be now. Michael revealed part of the truth.

"Can you come with me to the party?" Annan wanted to take Michael to protect himself.

"But she didn't give me an invitation." Michael spread his palms, "And I'm just an ordinary mage...... How much gold do you have left? ”

"All with Andrew Luna, about five hundred kinnars?"

"Well, that's not enough. A magic ring engraved with a shield spell costs 1500 gold narls. ”

Annan was thoughtful at this time.

"I'm going to go out."
