Chapter 122: Reception
Is this the Moshacher?"
Standing at the bow of the boat, seeing the busy dock not far away, Jia Yi's face was shocked.
Over the years, he had become accustomed to the tall walls of the cities and the sparse flow of people, and for the first time, he had become more than a city like Moshacher.
In the harbor in front of you, there are several huge piers that go straight into the sea, like teeth on a comb, each about 10 meters wide, and the whole body is made of huge stones. And whether it is the seaport of Ermode or Helga, there are inevitably docks made of wood. Looking into the city in the distance, I only saw stone towers and buildings, but I didn't see where the city walls were.
The dock is very busy, there are nearly 100 boats in the past, and on the dock, there is a huge heavy crane using pulleys, although this thing is not too rare, but there are so many on the dock here, such a huge crane he has never seen in this world.
The commercial docks here are separate from the passenger docks, and although they are both in the same port, the passenger docks are obviously more relaxed. The Goddess Horn slowly anchored on the dock, and Kaichi disembarked with the flow of people.
After getting off the boat, he looked around, and for a moment he was a little dazed, not knowing what to do first.
A carriage quickly came to Jiayi's side, and the driver came down and saluted, and asked, "Master, where are you going? Do you need a carriage ride? β
"It's not cheap. β
Although this amount of money is nothing to Jiayi, this price is obviously much higher than that of other places, even if it is Memphelbow, renting a carriage for a day will almost cost less than two silver coins, and the cheap one silver coin is enough.
And this carriage is just an ordinary carriage, a maple carriage, and the horse in front is also a very ordinary horse.
The coachman secretly glanced at Jia Yi and said: "This price is very suitable, and it is this price in the whole city, you recognize our purple gold flower emblem, our carriage has been registered in the government affairs hall, if you have any problems, you can go to the government affairs hall to complain to us." β
Jia Yi glanced at the emblem on the carriage pointed by the coachman, but he didn't expect that this was still operated by the company and supervised. Car dealerships are not uncommon, but it is rare that they need to be registered and supervised by government departments.
"What if I only go to the Mage Guild?"
"If you only go to the Mage Guild, it will cost 25 points, but in fact, it is more cost-effective for you to rent a carriage. The coachman persuaded.
Jia Yi got into the carriage: "Let's go to the Mage Association first, there is a reception over there." Do you accept coins from other countries?"
"Drive!" the coachman drove the carriage, "I will receive it, but it will increase the price, the Silver Eagle Coin of the Silver Sword Empire is worth 75 cents, and the Silver Sand Coin of the Xavier Empire is worth 80 cents, if you have time, you can go to the central bank to exchange it, it is more cost-effective there." β
Only then did Jiayi know that Moshacher now even had a bank.
Commerce and trade here are developed, banks already have the shadow of some modern banks, and even banks have issued vouchers, but these gold coupons are not paper money, and gold and silver coins can be really exchanged when you go to the bank. In the Silver Sword Empire, Jia Yi has not seen a bank yet, only some money banks, most of which are used for large businesses, and there is a custody fee to deposit money in them.
The city of MochΓ’cher is more prosperous, the roads are wide, and the traffic is full of people, but the sanitation of the roads is not good, and the sewage and garbage ferment in the roadside ditches and produce a foul smell, which eventually collects into the sea. And there are a lot of mages here, along the way, he has seen more than 10 mages passing by from the car window, and mage apprentices wearing magic robes are everywhere.
The density of mages is almost comparable to that of the academy.
Moshacher's Mage Guild is very large, in addition to being a place for mage business, there are also meeting halls, trading halls, task halls, and behind the association, there is a huge free market.
The trading floor here is not a market for free buying and selling, but a large transaction of magical materials, and almost every transaction does not have less than 10,000 gold coins - mage gold. You can also exchange coins here, and even part of the functions of the bank have it, and the exchange of magic stones cannot be done in the bank, only in the association.
"You wait here. Jia got out of the carriage, paid the money, and then instructed the coachman.
Inside the association, he found a staff member in uniform and asked where the newcomer reception was.
There are quite a few mages who come to Moshacher every day, some just stay here for a while, some expect to stay permanently, and there are not a few mages who come to Moshacher for the first time. In order to guide these new mages, the Mage Association has set up a reception desk for newcomers in the Mage Association.
"Hello, is this the reception desk?" asked a young man in front of him when he came to a side hall.
The young man in front of him saluted to Jiayi: "Hello Master, this is the reception area, may I ask if you need anything." β
This young man is a mage apprentice, he has not yet become an official mage at such an old age, and he can only say that his achievements in the future are limited, and there is a saying that he has not become a mage before the age of 30, and it is already the limit to be able to become a full-fledged mage in the future.
There aren't many mage apprentices in the association here, and Moshacher's mage guild is too big, and if all of them use mage apprentices, they won't be able to find so many people. Mage apprentices need to learn more, and if they spend too much time working, unless they are legendary geniuses, they will definitely affect their magic learning.
On the contrary, it is the mage association in other places, because there are few mages, the workload is also small, and most of the staff in it are mage apprentices. These mage apprentices are basically the people trained by the association itself.
"It's my first time in Moshacher, so I'm here to ask if there's anything to look out for. β
The young man invited Jiayi to the side and sat down: "Actually, there is not much to pay attention to, but there are some rules that must be followed. β
He took out a pamphlet and handed it to Jiayi: "There are some city rules of Moshacher on this, there are too many people here, so these rules must be followed even by mages, especially in public places, it is best not to use offensive spells." If these regulations are violated, they are likely to be caught by the law enforcement team. This will affect your credibility in Moshacher and you will most likely be penalized or even kicked out of Moshacher. β
The other party said that the consequences were very serious, most of the mages had a very high status outside, and there were not many people who acted indiscriminately to make a fortune, and some regulations were very necessary, and some mages might not be too accustomed to entering here.
However, I don't think there are many people who will be wild in Moshacher, after all, the territory of the Supreme Council has several legendary mages who are resident there.
After talking about the rules and regulations, the other party began to say something else: "After you and I go to register together, you can go to the library of the association to borrow the corresponding books according to your arcane points." There is a real estate transaction office in the government hall, where you can buy or rent if you need a place to settle down for a long time. If you are not satisfied with the property there, there are other real estate agents in Seongnam who can go there and have a look. β
He lowered his voice and whispered, "You can ask them to take out the internal housing information, there will be some good properties in it." Although Moshacher had many rules, no one dared to refuse a legitimate request from a mage.
"You are a full-fledged mage, and if you want to be based in Moshacher, we can arrange a job for you, which will help you integrate into the city. β
"Work, that's good, what kind of work?"
"There are magic items laboratories in the association, assistants to other mages, and there are also academy teachers, and there are also those who work in the association, which are basically magic-related jobs that can help you get to know more mages. β
"Then you can recommend a suitable job, where there is more money and less things to do close to home. β
"What... What?" the other party heard this statement for the first time, and suspected that he had heard it wrong, he just wanted to say that he also wanted this kind of work.
Jia Yi just made a joke, thought for a while and said, "Why don't you teach, I also taught students when I was in the academy, and I have some experience." I want to be able to do this job for as little time as possible. β
"It is true that teaching students has more free time, but the remuneration is also limited, but this will be recorded in the association, which can be regarded as a contribution to the association. If you wish, I'll arrange it for you. β
The young man vaguely reminded Jia Yi that Moshacher's expenses were not small, and many mages who came here would eventually face the problem of funds, especially if they studied magic, they would inevitably have to do experiments, and the money would be like running water.
"Then here's it, you can help me register. β
As he spoke, Jia Yi took out his mage badge and handed it over.
