Chapter 25: Surprising Gains and Bad News
"Aaron, you're here." Erin was lazily nestled on the sofa, smiling like a flower, her fox ears shaking from time to time, obviously she was in a good mood at this time.
There were just the two of them in the room.
Seeing Erin's smile so bright, Aaron's mood also became happy.
Because it means that the income from this event must be quite good.
"Miss Irene, this is the mousse cake of the house around the corner, I've been bothering Miss Erin for the past three days." Aaron was carrying a box of cakes as a greeting gift.
Erin's demeanor is still the same, today's loose wizard robe still can't hide her delicate figure, and the charming peach blossom eyes are misty and seductive.
If it is placed in the previous life, it is said that she is the reincarnation of Su Daji, who has brought disaster to the country and the people in the gods, and there is no sense of disobedience.
"Hey, I also bought a cake, I have a heart." Erin took the cake, directly opened it and scooped a small bite with a spoon into her mouth, the soft fox ears shook slightly, her eyes narrowed slightly, enjoying the sweetness of the cream, and waved her hand: "As long as there are magic stones to earn, what is this hard work." ”
"Guess how many magic stones we earned this time?"
“300?” Aaron said uncertainly.
"Be bold and let your imagination go." Erin was a little dissatisfied, crickets 300 magic stones, who is this looking down on.
“1...1000?” Aaron's voice trembled.
"Almost, a total of 1,387 magic stones were earned, and 382 costs were incurred during the period, and the cost of opening up personnel joints accounted for the lion's share.
Aside from these expenses, the net income this time is 1005 magic stones, and according to the contract, your income this time is ......"
Erin paused: "201 pieces." ”
Aaron's breathing slowed by half a beat as he listened to this staggering number, and his brain suddenly felt a little dizzy.
He tried his best to control his expression, but the corners of his mouth were still grinning.
It turns out that this is what it feels like to get rich!
The money for the ritual materials was there, and the money to buy his copy of "Nain's General Knowledge of the World" from the academy was also there!
Double happiness is coming.
Erin looked at the grin on the corner of Aaron's mouth, and the pair of fox ears hidden in the golden hair also trembled slightly, her mood was really good now.
In three days, just running errands, he earned 804 magic stones.
According to the rules of the cage, she was able to get a share of it herself.
Moreover, this is only a benefit on the surface.
Invisible benefits are invisible to ordinary people.
For example, extend the influence of the animal cage to cover the entire new group in advance!
On the other hand, this year's situation is exceptional, the beast cage has just received news that the Southern Islands are in rebellion, which has had a considerable negative impact on the college's revenue.
According to the decree issued by the Perpetual Council, a rebel academy of this level can only send wizard apprentices to deal with intervention.
If she can make this batch of freshmen cultivate spiritual power seeds in advance and improve the overall quality of this batch of freshmen, the academy will not be stingy with rewards.
When the time comes, her goal will be achieved! As for why the college didn't take action directly and improve the overall strength of the new students through such a simple means as distributing teaching materials, this is another level of matter.
The exact reason for this is unclear to Erin.
Her mother was very jealous, saying that she would know when she became an official wizard.
"Speaking of which, the idea you came up with helped a lot," Erin pulled out a metal card, "So, this is a little bit of my heart." ”
"It's an anonymous bank card, no password, you can access it yourself within the academy's sphere of influence, you can go to the academy's bank for identity authentication later, and set a magic lock password."
Bank?
Aaron suddenly realized that Jialan Academy was very different from what he had imagined.
Come to think of it, the wizards of Neenri are all over the world, and they are the only masters of this world.
And Jialan Academy has an empire, two kingdoms, and four principalities, and it is not a small organization.
It's really normal to have such an institution as a bank.
At this time, a new doubt arose in Aaron's heart:
"Miss Irene, how many new students are there in the academy?"
"About 20,000, close to 30,000."
This number sounds very large, but in the territory of Jialan Academy's radiation, it is actually very small.
Like a chestnut in the sea.
After all, this is a behemoth with a population of nearly 100 million.
"How can there be so many?" Still, Aaron was struck by the number.
"What do you think the academy is here to recruit so many apprentices?" Erin asked with a smirk.
Aaron recalled what he had seen and heard these days, and his lips were inexplicably dry: "To get experimental materials? ”
"That's right, the academy recruits so many new students every five years just to legally obtain experimental materials."
Legitimate?
Aaron inexplicably thought of the Perpetual Council.
"Is it because of the rules of the Perpetual Council?"
"Your response was quick," Erin approving, "yes, it's a rule of the Perpetual Council." ”
"But the rules are the rules, and the reality is the reality."
"So, try your best," Erin said seriously, "if you don't want to be experimental." ”
Aaron nodded.
Now I finally understood why the academy didn't distribute teaching materials in front of the apprentices who had not cultivated the spiritual seeds.
Because the academy is not prepared to train so many apprentices!
Wait a minute!
Aaron suddenly realized a more serious problem.
Since the academy didn't plan to train so many apprentices, wouldn't they be unpleasant to the academy if they peddled meditation runes like this?
Aaron's face changed slightly, and he shared his worries with Erin.
After hearing this, Erin was relieved: "You don't have to worry about this, the apprentice who cultivates the spiritual seed is more valuable. ”
Aaron:......
"And ......," Erin seemed to think of something, and she hesitated before finally swallowing the words in her throat again.
And?
"Let's talk about this when you become an intermediate wizard apprentice." Erin stopped the conversation.
Aaron took what Erin said to heart silently and didn't ask any more questions.
After Erin finished eating the cake, Aaron asked, "Miss Erin, is there any news about what I asked you to do before?" ”
When Aaron was out to cooperate with the animal cage in propaganda work, he asked Erin to inquire about the news of the rotten grass and the Nanrit black nematode.
"I've already heard about it, but the Southern Islands haven't been very peaceful recently, the prices of the two materials you want have skyrocketed because of the war, 50 fragrant rotten grass and 10 Nanrit black nematodes now need at least 150~170 magic stones."
War, 150~170 magic stones......
It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and this price made Aaron feel a little tight.
Earlier, Lilytris said that 100~150 magic stones would be enough to match all the materials needed for the ritual.
As a result, the cost of these two materials alone is now directly equal.
It's stressful!
The 201 yuan on Aaron's body couldn't pay for all the materials.
In the worst-case scenario, it would cost 170 magic stones for the Nanrit nematode and vanisha alone.
The remaining 30 magic stones simply couldn't afford to pay for Lilytriz's materials.
If you can't pay for it, you'll really die!
Erin saw Aaron's embarrassment and kindly reminded, "If you're not in a hurry, I suggest you can wait." ”
"Miss Irene, when do you think the war over there will be settled?"
"It is estimated that it will be settled in another half a year."
Half......
Aaron felt that his grave grass was already a foot tall at that time.
