I'm not a god, and I don't have a powerful summoning spell. I can only rely on you. There's one more chapter at midnight, and it'll become a routine in the future. Three chapters on Sundays.]
Salin didn't know that he was being described as a great sorcerer's sh * t. He was ready to accept the viscount's invitation, but he was worried about his outfit. Where could he get a magic robe?
He tossed and turned on his bed. Five or six thousand gold coins as a thank you gift, that was five or six thousand gold coins!
Three years ago, when Jason appeared in front of Salin, Salin was about to starve to death. Except for this huge stone house, even the furniture and decorations were replaced with food. But no one bought the house. Those who wanted to buy it all understood that if Salin starved to death, the house would be even cheaper.
After following Jason, Salin used all his time to improve his strength. When he found that the badge could improve his ability, he even suppressed the fear of pain in his heart and tortured his nerves day after day, just to increase his strength a little and increase the chance of success of the Magic Flux Potion.
Salin didn't know why he had to work so hard. He only knew that once he became an official sorcerer, he would no longer have to live like before. No one understood the fear of an orphan. When Salin saved his first gold coin, he immediately bought 50 half-pound loaves of bread and hid them under his bed.
That night, Salin fell asleep peacefully for the first time, feeling so happy.
Later, the bread became moldy. Salin began to understand that bread could not be saved, and even gold coins could be stolen. Only by becoming a sorcerer could he not have to obey others. Even the mayor had to bow to his teacher.
Salin couldn't refuse the five thousand gold coins, which represented the materials for five Magic Flux Potions. If he wanted to earn the five thousand gold coins, he would need at least two years to rely on his own methods. Dika had tried his best, and Salin really didn't have any good ideas. Take the money to do business? That would take time. Salin didn't have time to do worldly things. He put all his energy into magic and knowledge.
The problem was, what did Viscount Guge want him to do? Salin wasn't sure. No matter how smart he was, he was still a teenager and didn't understand the power games of the nobles. But he couldn't let his teacher know, so Salin always felt uneasy.
He forced himself to let go of his worries and pulled out the box under his bed, taking out his family badge. Holding the heavy badge in his hand, Salin felt much more at ease. He lay on the bed and cast a detection spell on the medallion.
The Mana in his body was instantly sucked dry, and debuffs came one after another. Salin was already used to it. He only treated his body as if it didn't belong to him. He recalled the magic books and notes he had read, constantly enriching his knowledge of magic. In the beginning, he had lost control of his body for as long as 24 hours. Now, he only needed 6 hours to recover.
During these six hours, Salin spent all his time studying. The Reading Spell was a forced memory that couldn't be used to understand the meaning of words. It was as if Salin was rummaging through his brain, searching for the things that he had forcibly memorized. He kept thinking. He didn't notice that on the badge in his hand, there was a flash of deep blue in the lightning-shaped mark. This blue was so rich that it was completely different from the first time he saw it.
"He left the money behind and left?" Guge asked Ulysses and Guge, who were in the Castellan Mansion.
"Yes, he didn't even blink. He didn't have any expression from the beginning to the end."
Guge thought for a while and said, "You did a good job. Go to the city gate to pick him up next week. Don't alarm the sorcerers."
"Yes. Then, when should I go?" Ulysses was afraid that something would go wrong, so he asked again.
"Idiot, wait for him at dawn." Guge was obviously in a good mood. He scolded Ulysses with a smile, but he wasn't angry at all. Ulysses left reluctantly. He had to wait for the apprentice early in the morning. The apprentice always came to the city in the afternoon, but he, a junior swordsman, had to wait for a magic apprentice!
Viscount Guger stretched his body, feeling very satisfied. Although it was a bit unexpected that Salin didn't take the money, since he was willing to come and talk, there was still hope. Now he felt that marrying Nasha was a very wise decision. Without his father-in-law's support, he wouldn't have so much money to run his business.
Without money, he couldn't feed those useless nobles in the House of Elders, and he couldn't entice this little apprentice. As long as the family title was restored, all the money would come back.
A week passed quickly. Ulysses and Chris rushed to the city gate early in the morning, and waited for Salin attentively. The weather was getting colder and colder. Both of them changed into the leather robes given by Guge, and stood at the city gate, feeling a little stupid. The soldiers who guarded the city gate to collect taxes wanted to please them, and wanted to give them a room to rest, but they were scolded by Chris.
If they missed Salin, they would definitely be scolded when they returned. It was better to stand here and enjoy the cold wind, and treat it as training.
The city wall of Ceylon City was very high, almost ten meters, and the city gate was wide enough to allow four carriages to pass in and out side by side. Although the city was in a state of decline, some traces of its former prosperity could be seen.
There hadn't been any war involving the four empires in Myers Continent for many years. Ceylon City had been peaceful for a long time, and no one went to cut down the trees outside the city. Both sides of the wide official road were covered with trees and shrubs of different heights. After a long time, the ruts on the flagstones were messy, and no one went to repair or polish them.
Salin's figure soon appeared on this old official road. He was still carrying a huge leather bag on his back, and his clothes hadn't changed much.
Ulysses heaved a sigh of relief. After all, waiting for the afternoon was very boring and tiring. At the same time, he was glad that he listened to the viscount's words and waited here early in the morning.
"Mage Salin!" Ulysses quickly greeted him.
"So it's the Sword Saint Ulysses." Salin smiled and made a joke.
Ulysses blushed a little, but it wasn't too embarrassing. Salin was obviously gentler than last time, and his eyes were no longer emotionless.
"The viscount asked me to pick you up."
"I'll go get the goods first, you see …"
"Let Chris take care of it." Ulysses called Chris, and the red-haired swordsman helplessly took Salin's leather bag and the receipt of the shop.
"The money has been paid, you just need to check the packaging. Do you know the place? "Salin reminded Chris.
Ceylon City's economy was in a slump, and the shops were limited. Since Guge had specially studied Salin's movements, of course he knew which shop he was going to order from. Chris resisted the urge to beat Salin, and strode away.
"Sword Saint, let's go."
Ulysses smiled bitterly and said to Salin, "From now on, I'll call you Salin. Don't call me Sword Saint, I'll be laughed at."
"Good that you know." Salin finally won the first round. He tidied his robe and followed Ulysses into the carriage. The outside of the carriage was very old, but the decorations inside were very luxurious.
The spacious carriage was covered with Caucasian carpets, and the seats were wrapped in velvet from the Tanggulas Empire. The cushions were even made from the precious silk of the Qinyin Empire. In fact, the body of the carriage was made by the Cloud Flow Empire, so it didn't budge at all, and wouldn't affect a skilled archer's battle.
Although Ceylon City had declined, the Scotia Empire was still very prosperous. The largest merchant and mercenary groups on the continent were all gathered in Scotia, and they could buy anything they wanted.
Salin didn't understand the viscount's attentiveness, but he felt that the fragrance in the carriage was a little strange. He cast a cleaning spell, and under the cleansing of the fresh water vapor, the smell in the carriage quickly dissipated. Within six hours, he could also cast six level-0 spells. Could it be that Viscount Guger had invited him to perform for him?
Salin leaned against the soft cushion, and his feelings were indescribable. Three years ago, he was still suffering from hunger and cold. Who would have thought that today, the mayor would use his carriage to pick him up and flatter him? All of this was brought to him by magic and Jason Statham. When would he be able to have true glory?
Salin thought, and he became even more eager for the viscount's reward of a few thousand gold coins. Instead of chatting with Ulysses, he meditated on his seat.
Viscount Guger didn't come out to greet him, so Salin was brought to the small living room to wait. This was not a slight. The small living room of the nobles was specially used to entertain their close friends, and ordinary guests didn't have this kind of treatment.
Because of the financial support from his father-in-law, Viscount Guger lived a relatively comfortable life, even though the tax situation wasn't optimistic. Now, Salin was drinking tea from the Qinyin Empire and eating dried fruits from White Emperor City. The maids serving him were young and beautiful, and they kept throwing flirtatious glances at him.
Sorcerers were rare, and the maids didn't care what level Salin was now. They just wanted to seduce him. Once they succeeded, their status would be very different.
Although Salin wasn't a serious person, he still felt bored. Fortunately, Ulysses kept him company, and the maids didn't dare to do anything.
"Master Salin, I heard that sorcerers can fly in the sky. Is this true?"
"Even a level-five sorcerer needs to fly with the help of tools. I'm just an apprentice. Only sorcerers above level-six can fly in the sky, "Salin sat upright and answered according to the standard answer in the magic book.
"You must have read a lot of books. You speak like a noble lord."
"Even for an apprentice, this is not a compliment." Salin didn't want Ulysses to laugh at him, so he straightened his face and didn't want to be perfunctory with the two maids.
The maid covered her mouth and chuckled. "Are you going to punish us?"
Salin didn't answer. He wasn't angry. If he really wanted Viscount Guger to punish the two maids, Guger would definitely agree. The two maids obviously weren't worth a few thousand gold coins. But when Salin thought of himself in the past, he felt that this kind of punishment was meaningless.
People at the bottom always struggled to climb up. No matter what was above them, they refused to look back.
