Lord of Arcane

Chapter 27 Trading Again
Yesterday he didn't know the price of a questioning opportunity in the Mage's tower, but today after some unspoken rules in the Arcane Garden, he also understood the preciousness of the questioning opportunity.

If you don't need to work a month, you only need to ask a question once. Based on Xado's salary, a question is worth 3 gold coins.

But the time you get from not working can be used for your own business. Obviously, if you count these, the value of asking a question is far more than 3 gold coins. It is impossible for Xia Duo to ask questions for Dean every day. The service Dean provides Not worth it.

Therefore, the content of the transaction must be re-agreed, or the transaction object must be replaced.

But since he missed it, Xia Duo is not going to chase after the library to say, after all, the seller's market, you can mention it anytime.

It is still necessary to hurry up and sort out the dictionary, so that you can use the qualifications to ask questions to do more preparations in your initial stage, at least basic consumables such as pen, ink and paper are indispensable.

Now that there is a whole book of "Proverbs", Shado first sorted out the words starting with the first two letters in the first half, and then sorted out the words starting with the third letter.

The time of devotion went by quite quickly, and when Xia Duo sorted out the sixth letter, "lights out", the dormitory fell into darkness.

It was 9 o'clock, and Xia Duo still had more than half of the letters to sort out, but Xia Duo believed that as he became more and more familiar with "Proverbs", the later progress would be faster and faster.

……

The next day, Xia Duo woke up before the "wake up light" like yesterday, and used the faint light to memorize the Nise language words with phonetic symbols and definitions for a while.

As soon as 5 o'clock arrived, I immediately went out, went to the restaurant on the first floor to get breakfast, and then I didn't have to wait for the steward to arrange work like yesterday, just go directly to the Arcane Garden.

However, because of the existence of unspoken rules, Xia Duo just showed up in front of the Arcane Garden Steward, and then acted on his own.

Because Dean gave him the notes for transcribing "Proverbs" last night, Xado chose to memorize the words, but prepared to sort out all the simple dictionaries first, and then directly read them to memorize them.

The efficiency of memorizing words alone is not high. Xia Duo has already noticed it in the past two days, but in the case of insufficient conditions, he does not want to waste time.

All morning, Xia Duo was sorting out his little dictionary of literacy tools. Unfortunately, the 6 pieces of parchment were not used at all. Except for the blanks left for phonetic symbols and interpretations, the rest of the place was almost full.

Of course, Shado, who only has 5 silver coins on his body, can't afford a blank notebook, so he can only think of a way to ask questions.So he found Sammy who was reading by the river.

Xia Duo didn't hide the fact that he was studying writing, but went straight to the point, "Sami, I'm sorry to bother you, but I have to ask you something."

"What's the matter?" Although Sammy was a little dissatisfied that Xia Duo interrupted his thoughts, he did not refuse.

"I want to know how much those ordinary apprentices will pay for a chance to ask questions, if it is calculated in gold coins."

Sammy suddenly laughed, "The same thing has different values ​​for different people. If you want, I'm willing to pay 15 gold coins each time in exchange for your opportunity to ask questions. It is usually difficult for ordinary apprentices to give them directly. 15 gold coins."

For 15 gold coins, you can buy a 100-page blank note. All Xia Duo needs to pay is a chance to ask questions. If you do this, Xia Duo can earn 450 gold coins in a month!
However, this is at the expense of Xia Duo's own learning progress. It may be feasible in the early stage, and maybe you will need to trade and ask others for questions later!

Xia Duo thought about it and felt that it would be okay to trade with Sammy, so he agreed directly.

However, Sammy added: "What I want to ask is the specific courses of certain specific mages. You have to go to the research rooms of those mages to take classes, and you can ask questions after the class is over."

As soon as he heard this, Xia Duo frowned. According to Sammy's words, he couldn't go to the initiation class, and he couldn't understand the formal mage's class, and the price was a bit high.

Shado told Sammy that he was receiving magic enlightenment, Sammy showed a knowing smile, "We can come like this, I can give you an initiation class in the morning, and in the afternoon you can help me ask questions, every time you ask a question , I'll pay you 5 more gold coins."

It is equivalent to 10 gold coins in the enlightenment class, and it is still tutoring alone, but Xia Duo thought about it carefully and gave up.

Compared with Sammy, Shado is more willing to believe in the initiation class provided by the Mage Tower. Besides, if the transaction is interrupted after a few times, then the initiation class has been interrupted, and whether Garner will start the class again and again. Sure.

It seems to take advantage of it, but in fact it is very likely to suffer a big loss and complicate things.

"Sami, I think this is too much trouble, I don't think it's better, I teach at my own pace, but at the same time I can sell my own questioning opportunities. The last week's questioning object is the apprentice Garner, you can help me contact the people you know. Anyone who needs to ask Garner a question, I don't care how much you charge, I only charge you 5 gold coins each time."

The biggest problem in front of Xia Duo at present - in fact, in the final analysis, there is no money!
If he has a lot of gold coins, he can even hire a formal mage to give him tutoring, and literacy is not a problem, and some magical magic can make him learn the common language of Nise in an instant.

There are ways to play with money, and there are ways to play without money.But Xia Duo didn't want to spend too much time figuring out whether he was at a disadvantage. He wanted to get some basic learning resources as quickly as possible.

Just like the situation this morning, there is not enough parchment paper, and the dictionary can't be sorted out. This waste of time is the most shameful.

Time is the greatest wealth. He is now 24 years old, and the Sammy in front of him is only 18 years old. He is already behind, how can he not catch up.

The only thing he can use now is the qualification to ask questions. He may have a lot of questions to ask when he is being enlightened, but in fact, it does not involve the learning progress at all, and more to satisfy his own curiosity.

Exchanging questions for resources and time is the best solution for Xia Duo.

Sammy listened to Xia Duo's words, and was silent for a while. He seemed to have heard Xia Duo's subtext, and then agreed, "Okay, I will contact an apprentice for you, or a businessman, he has given up the magic road. , but concentrate on the integration of resources among the apprentices, I think you may have a lot of opportunities to contact him in the future."

"Thank you."

"Don't thank me, I'll get you a lot of money for introducing you to him." Sammy's tone was very flat.

Obviously, if Xia Duo couldn't ask questions for himself, Sammy didn't want to waste time being a middleman, but directly introduced a middleman to Xia Duo.

……

For the rest of the morning, Xia Duo could not continue sorting out the dictionary, and could only memorize some of the pronunciations and definitions that had been sorted out before, and continued like this until noon.

The mage is very efficient, and the apprentice is no exception. Shado and Sammy hurriedly finished the lunch, and then came to the library floor together.

The "businessman apprentice" they are going to meet has rented a transcription room on the library floor for a long time to run his intermediary business. It was only Xia Duo who entered the mage tower for two days. Otherwise, sooner or later, he would know about this "Businessman's Apprentice".
