"Magister!" Claire opened her mouth in surprise, her face was full of surprise, and she secretly made up her mind that she must inform her father who was far away in the imperial capital of the news as much as possible.

"Great, if you can become a Magister, then we will be students of the Magister!" Owen cheered, but his heart was a little unwilling.

Not to mention that no one in the Joseph family has ever won the title of Magister, even in the entire empire, this title is not too much, it is one of the most noble titles in the wizarding world. Except for Montoya, a guy whose head is a little off the line, who would think lightly in that direction.

Leo knew what the Magister meant, but he didn't understand the meaning of it.

A family may be able to be established by a single genius, such as Leo's ancestor Roland, who single-handedly created the Minerhil family. But if this family wants to continue from generation to generation, it is difficult, after all, the descendants of geniuses cannot all be geniuses, which is also one of the reasons why the bloodline family occupies the mainstream: bloodline inheritance is much more direct than magic, and it is more controllable.

However, an intermediate family wants to be promoted to a high-level family, but it can't bypass the magic level.

Mages often do not rely on the power of the bloodline, or even reject the bloodline. Because from the most authoritative point of view at present, except for a few special bloodlines, the vast majority of bloodlines will have some adverse effects on spellcasting. But if the Bloodline has a long-term pursuit, it must use magic. Whether it is an on-plane adventure or an inter-plane battle, it is impossible to succeed without mages and magic items.

Therefore, many families will ensure some of the most basic magic inheritances, at least in each generation of disciples, a few mages must be cultivated, otherwise this family may fall into decline, or even be ruined.

And if this family wants to go further, from the middle level to the high-level family, or even the top wealthy family, a mage's existence will play a vital role.

Here, the Magister is not just a revered title, but also a recognition of the wizarding world.

If there is really a magister in the Joseph family, he can use this as a signboard to gain the support of the magic organization, attract a large number of mid- and low-level magic talents, expand the real room, and then deepen his own magic inheritance, which is what all those in power care about the most.

"Well, hopefully that day will come. The old mage stroked his gray beard, his face was full of pride, even if he could not obtain the title of Magister in the end, but in his lifetime, he could see his name on the "Magic Light", which was a great achievement.

Fixing his gaze on Leo, he said slowly, "Boy, thank you for allowing me to make this discovery, and now I'm going to reward you." ”

The other party said this, obviously to give some benefits, and then monopolize the discovery, but Leo not only did not have any dissatisfaction, but breathed a sigh of relief, at least he shouldn't kill himself.

"Master Byron, no, I just told my father's method, and I feel lucky that you can forgive me for my recklessness. Leo cautiously replied, of course he wanted to learn magic from the other party, or get some magic materials, but with his current status and situation, those were not realistic, and it was more likely to arouse the suspicion of the other party and cause death.

Seeing that Leo knew how to advance and retreat, the old mage was very satisfied. However, he was not a mean and unkind person, and he was full of joy, so he insisted: "Since I said that I would give you a reward, then I will definitely give you a reward, say, what do you want?"

As soon as the words fell, he regretted it a little, in case Ao Zhen made any unusual requests here, it would be really difficult to deal with. However, three more students were present, and he, as a teacher, could not go back on his word.

Thinking of this, the old mage hurriedly added: "Little guy, you can ask for something, or money, or even your contract of sale, I can satisfy you." ”

Hearing the old mage's mention, the other three young men all envied Leo. Montoya and Owen would ask for a letter of recommendation directly, while Claire would like to get a tailor-made magic item, but they have never been given such an opportunity, and now it is up to Leo to ask for something.

"I want to ......" Leo almost said the three words of the deed of sale, but this will be stronger in the future, and it can be obtained lightly, and he does not need the help of the old mage. And being in the treasure mountain, there is no danger to his life for the time being, but he doesn't want to leave the castle immediately and explore the sinister world outside alone.

When the corner of his eye swept to the bookshelf next to him, he had an idea: "Master Byron, can you allow me to read the books here in my spare time?"

Hearing such a simple request, the old mage suddenly laughed, and finally let go of his hanging heart, and then he was surprised: "Are you literate?"

"I can read. Leo replied softly, if he can get the right to read books here, it will definitely be extremely beneficial for learning more advanced magic in the future, but I don't know if the old mage will agree, after all, any magic knowledge is extremely valuable.

"How could a literate child come to the castle to be a servant? Could it be that he was taken captive?" The old mage was a little strange, but he didn't care about these things, so he nodded: "I allowed it, but this is not a reward, being heard, don't call me stingy, you can ask for one more thing, how about a hundred gold coins?"

Leo was actually quite excited to be able to read here, but he didn't expect that the old mage would give him a hundred gold coins.

In this world, although a hundred gold coins is not a lot of wealth, it is enough to live comfortably in the city. But Leo certainly won't ask for money, he has a better plan: "Dear Master Byron, I've heard people say that knowledge is priceless, so I don't want money. ”

"And what do you want? Do you want a book?" said the old mage, who had seen a servant who did not want money.

"No, I don't want books. Leo smiled shyly, and made a gesture of plucking up courage, and said earnestly: "In addition to this, I also want to go to the library to read books, can you approve it?"

"It seems that you really like to read. The old mage's eyes lit up, and now children who like to read books are really rare.

Leo, of course, seized this rare opportunity and said very seriously: "Yes, I like to read very much. ”

The old mage nodded, he would not hesitate to give some help to those who were eager to learn, not to mention that Leo had just contributed to the truth. He found a random piece of paper, tore off a strip of paper, and began to write.

As soon as he wrote a few words, the old mage raised his head and asked, "By the way, what is your name, boy?"

"This is the first time you've asked my name, and my memory is so bad?" Leo muttered secretly, but his face remained respectful, and he said, "Master Byron, my name is Leo Minehir. ”

Minahir...... I seem to have heard it somewhere. The old mage thought about it, but he couldn't think of it for a while, so he had to throw it out of his mind for the time being.

He wrote the note, signed his name, and pressed a stamp on it with the ring on his index finger, and gave it to Leo, "When you don't have a job, you can take this to the library and you can read at will." ”

"Thank you very much!" Leo did not refuse, bowed deeply, and quickly took the note, carefully putting it away.

Montoya scratched her head, looked at Leo with some puzzlement, and sighed secretly: "Oh, this is too ignorant, the teacher has so many good things, this kid actually asked for a piece of broken paper, it's a waste!"

Of course, he didn't understand that Leo was thinking about his own situation, so he deliberately lowered his requirements.

For all the nobles in the castle, it was just a simple note, but for Leo, it was a passport to the wizarding world.

Touching the note in his pocket, Leo was slightly excited, he didn't expect that he could casually say the concept of a crystal seed in exchange for such a big benefit, even if it might cause Owen's displeasure, it was completely worth it.

............

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Leo originally thought that he had won the favor of the old mage, and the work in his own room was not too heavy, so he must have a lot of leisure time to read a lot of books in this world. But the actual situation is not as he expected, and even completely exceeds expectations.

Because of the previous "accident", the old mage was completely in a state of excitement. In order to complete the month's tasks as soon as possible, so as to free up more time for his own research, he began to work like crazy. Not only did he interrupt the teaching of the three students, but he also squeezed out all the time for his rest and meals.

In the face of this overwork, the old mage enjoyed it because of his interest, but he only suffered Leo.

In the huge real room, the old mage's orders echoed from time to time:

"Boy, pack up all this garbage!"

"Boy, wipe the blood off the table!"

"Boy, drag this dead wolf out!"

"Boy, go get some trumpet test tubes!"

"Boy, go wash the pipette bottle out!"

"Boy, keep stirring at a constant speed, that's right!"

"Boy, squeeze out the juice of this glow grass, don't squeeze it all, I only need 3 ml!"

In the beginning, the old mage only asked Leo to do some rough work and physical work, but I don't know when he began to treat Leo as a practical assistant. He was so absorbed that he forgot that as an inferior servant, Leo should not be able to tell which was a pipette bottle and which was a small tube, nor should he know what it meant to stir at a uniform speed and how much was 3 ml.

In this way, Leo has to take care of the ferocious storm wolf, and is also commanded by the old mage as an intelligent magic puppet. Not only is it day and night, being on call, but also staying awake at all times, not to mention meditating and solidifying the spell model, even taking a break has become a luxury. So much so that Isha thought that something had happened to Leo and took great risks to find the real room.

Touching the note in his pocket a few times from time to time, Leo lamented in his heart, if he continued like this, he would be exhausted to death before he could enter the library and start his own copying business.

After slaughtering several storm wolves in a row, and refining blood crystals without interruption, it was not until five days ago that the old mage finally saved up enough weight.

However, the extraction of blood crystals does not mean that the work is done, on the contrary, the real work has just begun.
