Solomon could hear her frustration and couldn't help but comfort: "It doesn't matter, you are right, you can't embarrass your grandfather. ”

Solomon speculated that Stephanie's grandfather would make Stephanie a magician, presumably because he feared that when he died, Stephanie would be left alone.

This situation is very common, in the aristocratic family, even a royal family has found that after the death of the father, the inherited brother marries his sister, so that not only the property belongs to himself, but also maybe he can also marry his sister to climb a good relative, marriage is one of the important means of aristocratic vertical and horizontal union, even the royal family is not immune.

But if she becomes a magician, or even gets the title of a kingdom mage like Solomon in the future, then she will be considered the most basic noble, which will greatly help her become independent in the future.

Even if Tiffany's uncle wanted to manipulate it, it would not be so easy, and with the combat power of the magician, Tiffany could protect herself in a certain way.

For this grandfather's hard work, Solomon couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

It is not possible to pull Stephanie into the gang for the time being, and even if it is possible, it will at least wait until her grandfather dies and then get rid of the uncle's mercy.

"Actually, you should try to get to know more people. "Solomon proposes another building.

He was sincere, and Tiffany was too withdrawn, and it would be good for her to know more people.

"But, I, I haven't been liked since I was a child. Tiffany's voice in the psychic connection was blurred, which meant that her mind was very uncertain, so her mental strength was unstable.

"I don't know how to get to know people, I just like to go to the library and play chess, because I don't have to face to face in chess, so I don't have to worry about people not liking me. ”

"No, I don't like it...... Don't you hate you at all? It's normal for you to get along with me. Solomon, fearing that she would misunderstand, changed his words halfway.

"You're different, I only trust you. Tiffany also hurriedly explained.

"Then you should trust me and try to reach more people, although there will be good and bad, but this is what one must experience. Solomon spoke bitterly.

He is preparing for the future, and he will be busier in the coming days, and I am afraid that he will not have so much time to care about this blank paper-like girl.

"Will you be busier in the future?" Tiffany sensitively felt.

"Yes. I might actually go on an adventure, but I'm still in preparation. Solomon said honestly, "So I want you to listen to me and try to get in touch with more people, for example, I know that in addition to chess battles, there is also a drama club in the academy, and you can go there." ”

"There were a lot of people there, and it was face-to-face. Tiffany's voice lowered, "I don't dare go on stage." ”

"You don't have to be on stage, you just have to be an audience. Solomon disagreed.

Suddenly, there was no voice, and after a long time, there was a vague question from Tiffany's heart, "Will you also go to the drama club?"

"Yes, occasionally, the drama club is also starting to shoot the Shadow animation, and I will communicate. Solomon explained to Tiffany what the Shadow animation was.

finally persuaded Tiffany, and agreed that he would take her to the drama club in a few days to get acquainted with the environment.

Solomon really hopes that she can be more cheerful, fortunately there is no environment for rotten girls here, otherwise it would be easy to stay at home, and then it will be rotten.

Solomon left the chess room, and just as he walked out of the door, he heard a greeting.

His nose twitched, and his eyes and nose "recognized" him almost simultaneously that the person who greeted him was none other than his roommate Max.

Originally, the relationship between the two was not bad, but since Solomon's identity was given to Max because of the movie ticket of the merchant of the Magic Animation Free City, Max knew that he had mentioned it himself before, the owner of the Solomon Company that originated in the Free City, Max became respectful to Solomon.

But this kind of respect made the distance between the two a little shorter, which made Solomon a little helpless, but he couldn't stop it.

"Mr. Solomon, I haven't seen you in the dormitory for a long time lately. Max looked at Solomon with reverence.

Solomon already had a place to live in the city of St. Quentin, and although he had a dormitory in the college, he had only lived occasionally, and he had been busy lately, so he lived even less, and many times after going to the St. Quentin branch or the commodity exchange, he went straight back to his lodging.

"Yes, I've been busy lately. Solomon laughed, "Is there anything wrong with you?"

"No, no, I just want to say thank you, thank you very much for the movie ticket you gave me that day, and gave me the opportunity to enjoy a profound Shadow animation. Max said a little excitedly.

Solomon nodded slightly, it was a gesture for him.

"If nothing else, then I'll leave first. "Solomon prepared to depart.

"Wait. Max exclaimed, plucking up his courage and saying, "You, you haven't been to the dormitory much lately, and there's news from the academy that I don't know if you know." ”

"What news?" said Solomon.

"It's about chess. To be precise, the academy and the God of War Church Academy in the same city are preparing to jointly hold an Elven Chess Tournament, but the participants are limited to mid-to-low-level mages and warriors, and the winner will receive a prize. ”

When Solomon heard this, he was a little interested, but unfortunately he has been too busy recently, and although he is interested in this elven magic chess competition, he probably doesn't have the time and energy to participate, so after hearing the news, he won't be very enthusiastic, but he just said with a faint hum that he knows.

Seeing that Solomon didn't pay much attention to the news, Max hurriedly said, "But I know what prize the winner will get in the end." ”

"Oh, what could it be?" Solomon said curiously, he guessed that it should be equipment or props, of course, it could also be meditation methods or something, if he wasn't busy preparing for plane exploration, he would really go to participate, the contestants are limited to middle and low-level mages, then he may also get a good ranking on the Cheng dù.

"No, you should. Max whispered, and pulled Solomon into the chess room.

"I remember your summoning system, and that prize is very useful for the summoning department. Max whispered.

"What the hell is it?" said Solomon.

"It's a summoning seal that can store summoned beasts, and it's made into a big Akana card!" Max said excitedly, "Last month, Master Ulysses' magic tower needed to recruit a few people to help, and I was lucky enough to get in." This set of seals was made by a collection of several magical alchemy studios, and Ulysses was one of them, so I know a little. ”

Solomon asked, and finally knew a rough idea, more detailed, Max was limited by his position, and could not know more.

The Elven Magic Chess Tournament has not been held before, but it has not been held for decades, and the prize held last time was the meditation method, and the previous ones were equipped and constructed.

It's rare to be like this one, but don't be happy, although there are twenty-two tarot cards, that is, the big Arcana card, most of these twenty-two summoning seals are blank, that is to say, there is no summoning beast in it.

Only one of them will have a summoned beast inside, which is said to be a hatchling of a seventh-order creature.

Of course, this set of prizes is the most valuable to summoners, but because there is a high-level Warcraft hatchling in it, it is not without value to others, just the summoning contract is very expensive, and the cost of a summoning contract is more expensive than a standard high-level magic sealing box, even the kind of special zuò sealing box ordered by Solomon is only of similar value.

Solomon was really moved after hearing this, it seems that this elf magic chess tournament really has to participate, he is not without a chance, although the intermediate mage will also participate, but the competition time is still early, it is later than going to the plane adventure by himself.

Although the mid-level mage will also participate, his own strength is about to break through from the mid-level mage, and once he breaks through, it is not impossible to win the championship.

This set of seals is more useful for Solomon, although he can only enter the summoning department when he enters the school, and he is also preparing to change departments in the future.

But after studying for a while, he was still quite interested in summoning and didn't plan to give up.

Moreover, the magic forge he obtained under the inspiration of the Abyssal Stone was not a good ability for other classes, but he thought it was very useful for summoners.

Why?

Because among the three methods of summoning, the summons of the elemental summoning method and the projection summoning method are not real creatures, they are simulation and projection, in addition to relevant knowledge, supporting the summoning beast to survive depends on the magic of the summoner.

Theoretically, as long as the magic power is not exhausted, the summoned beasts produced by the elemental summoning method can always exist, and although the projection summoning beasts will eventually disappear due to the influence of the plane law, if the summoner's magic and mental power are strong enough, this time can be extended.

It can be seen that magic is extremely helpful to summoners.

In addition, there is another issue that many summoners may have thought about, but rightfully ignored.

That's why can't summoners attack while serviting summoning beasts to attack, and then assist in attacking themselves?

It's like if Solomon had learned some miscellaneous magic before, and now he is learning summoning, the summoner could have released the summoning beast and then used the magic attack himself.

In fact, it's not that summoners don't want to, but, first, the energy is limited, and as I said before, summoning seems simple, but it also requires a lot of magical knowledge, but it is not as easy to specialize as the Shuo Neng system, and to become a powerful summoner, you will become a polymath in itself.

There is also a big shackle is magic, if you use the elemental summoning method or the projection summoning method, the magic power must not only maintain the existence of the summoned beast, but also cast defensive spells, if you add to it to cast offensive spells like an elemental mage, not to mention anything else, the magic power of the summoner is a big problem.

Therefore, among the mid- and low-level summoners, there are very few people who can have other offensive means other than summoning beasts, and only high-level mages have sufficient magic power to support the simultaneous casting of attack spells in addition to summoning beasts and defensive spells.

However, high-level mages who can reach this step will feel a headache when they deal with it at the same level, because as long as a high-level mage has a summoned beast that is a magical beast of the same level as his own body, plus himself, it is equivalent to two to one, and if he doesn't even have to face more helpers, he will end up being besieged and beaten by Haibian.

Of course, not everyone is so powerful, even if it is a high-level summoner, the magic power is enough, it does not mean that his summoned beast must be powerful.

Summoners have also figured out a way to have a similar effect at the middle and low levels, and that method is to have the middle and low-level summoners use the creature contract method to sign a contract with a powerful creature, so that they can have a powerful summoned beast as a helper at the low level.

This allows you to use real creatures as summons to fight, and you can only defend and partially attack, so your mana may be sufficient.

It's just that how many people in this world can sign a contract with powerful creatures at the middle and low levels?

The summoning seal is a magic item made by alchemists to store summoned beasts.

"Thank you, I'll sign up. Solomon thanked Max.

"No thanks, it's my pleasure to do something for you. Max said happily.

He said this, but Max rubbed his hands, and the expression on his face hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't say it.

Solomon guessed what he meant, and said bluntly: "Max, if you have anything else, tell me quickly, if I can help you, I will try to help." ”

Hearing Solomon say this, Max perked up and boldly said, "Yes, I have something I want to ask you about. I admire you very much for your deeds in the Free City, that Solomon Company has done a really good job, your Shadow animation has now been fully accepted by the City of San Quentine, and the merchants of the latest Free City have received a lot of praise, and I hope that one day I will do the same. I remember I told you that although I entered the magic academy, I didn't want to become a great magician in the future, to fight with people, I just wanted to open an alchemy shop for a merchant, and I really wanted to get your advice. ”

"Well, but I haven't opened an alchemy shop either. Solomon groaned.

Just when Max was a little disappointed, Solomon's heart suddenly moved, and he said with a straight expression: "But if you really plan to open an alchemy shop, I can give you some support." ”

"Really?" Max was overjoyed, but looked a little hesitant.

Solomon looked at the words and asked questions.

It turned out that Max planned to stay at the magic academy for more than three years, and after officially graduating, he would convince his father to give him the funds to open an alchemy shop.

The first was that he could apply for a loan from St. Quentine, and Solomon would lend him the best interest rate, so that he would have the possibility of opening an alchemy shop now, rather than having to wait until a few years later to reach out to his family for money.

Although there is a certain risk in this, Max is also an ambitious person, and he is willing to accept this part of the risk if he can succeed without asking his family for money.

The second is that Solomon agreed to participate in his alchemy shop plan, help him build it, and gave him a plan to build it, his alchemy shop should follow the path of combining shops and shops, that is, he should not resell purely for profit, and he must build an alchemy workshop at the same time.

On the second point, Max looked embarrassed, not that he was against this model, on the contrary, he also thought this way in his original plan, but in those years.

He had arrived a few months before Solomon, and was about to decide the fate of the division and master, although there was a good chance of entering the sect of Ulysses, so that by the time he graduated, he would be able to support the alchemy workshop himself and recruit some more apprentices.

But it will take a few years, and now he is still too far behind in alchemy, and his level is probably inferior to the workshop master that Solomon in the Free City has come into contact with, after all, the actual experience is far greater than his.

However, Solomon offered him another way, which was to find a way to hire the magicians of the academy to work in his alchemy shop.

Of course, Max didn't have this connection now, and Solomon mentioned that he should contact the drama club in the academy more.

Most of the magicians in the drama club are magicians from civilian backgrounds, and it is not difficult for Max to integrate, as for how many contacts he can expand from them, it depends on his own ability.
