The three people slowly walked towards the city. Sure enough, the guards in front of the city gate not only didn't come forward to stop them, but also gave them a salute. This also made Zhao Hai understand that in this world, as long as you have strength, you are the boss.
Several people entered the city gate. Zhao Hai was stunned by the scene in front of him. This was a large road that was nearly ten meters wide. The whole road was filled with people coming and going, it was very lively. There were also some small peddlers setting up stalls on the roadside. Obviously, there were no urban management here. Everyone was doing their best to shout, and from time to time, pedestrians would stop to buy things. It was very lively.
On both sides of the road, there were many shops. Those small stalls were placed in front of the shops, and the shop's door was also open, making it even more lively.
The pedestrians on the street were divided into many kinds. Most of them were ordinary people wearing ordinary linen clothes. A small number of them were warriors wearing leather helmets or warrior clothes. Almost no one was walking on the street wearing a magic robe.
At this time, a voice was heard, "Respected Mr. Magician, may I ask if you want to hire a carriage? My carriage is comfortable and cheap. Moreover, I grew up in Casa City. I know every street in Casa City very well. I can send you to any place you want to go. "
Zhao Hai and the others looked towards the direction of the voice. A person dressed as a coachman was standing five steps to their left, looking at them. Behind him, there was a carriage parked.
This carriage was very big. It was pulled by a red horse. The whole carriage was painted black, and there were very beautiful patterns on it.
Zhao Hai didn't know, but Green did. Although the horse pulling the carriage looked good, it was only an ordinary first-level magic beast. It didn't match with Zhao Hai's identity.
But even if it didn't match, there was no other way. They had just arrived in Casa City. They were unfamiliar with the place and didn't have much money. Naturally, it was impossible to buy a carriage. Moreover, in the city, it was impossible to casually use magic and summon beasts. Therefore, they couldn't call out Xenomorphs. The only way now was to hire a carriage.
Green went to the front of the coachman and said, "What's your name? How much does it cost to hire your car a day? "
The coachman didn't think that things would go so smoothly. He stopped Zhao Hai just to give it a try. One must know that magicians generally didn't lack money, so they rarely hired ordinary carriages. He didn't expect that the other party would ask him the price.
The coachman hurriedly said, "Respected Mr. Mage, my carriage is very cheap. It only costs one silver coin a day. My name is Rock."
Green took out a silver coin and threw it to Zhao Hai: "Hire your carriage for a day." Finished speaking, he turned to Zhao Hai and said: "Sir, please get on."
Zhao Hai nodded and followed Meg into the carriage. The carriage was large enough to accommodate six people.
However, Green didn't get on the carriage. Instead, he sat beside the driver and said to Rock, "Take us to the Magician's Guild."
This Magician's Guild wasn't a civilian organization, but a national organization. Every country had their own independent Magician's Guild. This Magician's Guild was an organization set up by the country specifically for magicians. Its purpose was to serve the magicians.
The Magician's Guild was to serve the magicians, not to manage them. This was because magicians were treasures of the country. Their status was equal to that of the aristocracy. Therefore, no one dared to manage them. They could only provide them with some services.
Every magician who registered with the Magician's Guild could get a subsidy of ten gold coins a month. Of course, there weren't many magicians who would take a fancy to this amount of money, so generally, no one would receive it.
However, magicians who registered with the Magician's Guild also had a lot of benefits. For example, if you had a magician's badge, you would be exempt from taxes. If you wore this badge, you wouldn't need to bow to the aristocrats.
This time, Green and the others came to Casa City to show their faces and attract the attention of those people. Secondly, they wanted to go to the Magician's Guild to register Zhao Hai.
Each country adopted a very relaxed policy for magicians' registration. Generally, they would only train you and then let you demonstrate your magic. There was no test or anything like that. As long as you demonstrated your magic and proved that you were a magician, you would be able to register with the Magician's Guild.
Of course, this registration of magicians was also divided into levels. If you just demonstrated your magic, then you could only register as the lowest level magician. Every month, you would receive ten gold coins, tax free. If you demonstrated a high level of strength, then you would receive more services. For example, Zhao Hai, if he had a magician's badge, and it was a senior magician's badge, then once he entered the city, he would immediately be picked up by the Magician's Guild. Everything would be arranged for him, and most of his living expenses would be reimbursed. Every month, he would receive a hundred to a thousand gold coins. Of course, if you wanted to get a senior magician's badge, then your strength would have to be at least level six.
This time, Zhao Hai went to register as a magician. It was Green's idea. Only if Zhao Hai wore a magician's badge, then it would be a lot more convenient for them to do things in the future. Moreover, this registration didn't need to reveal their identity, so it was a good thing.
After Green sat in the carriage, he turned to Rock and said, "Let's go to the Magician's Guild." Rock complied and drove the carriage straight to the Magician's Guild.
The Empire's Magician's Guild was a very special existence. They were directly funded by the state's treasury, and they specialized in serving magicians. But usually, very few magicians would come to the Guild, because each magician had their own job.
In the Empire, magicians were a very popular profession. Even if you were only a level one magician, there would still be a lot of people lining up to invite you. Therefore, ordinary magicians simply wouldn't come to the Guild. The only exception was the Dark Magicians.
Because black magicians' style of doing things was very special, most aristocrats didn't like to invite black magicians. Only some merchants would invite black magicians to be their guests. And most black magicians would generally become mercenaries or adventurers. They were still very popular among mercenaries.
But compared to other magicians, black magicians' lives were the most difficult, and the quality was also the worst. If other magicians were aristocrats, then black magicians were commoners.
There were a lot of black magicians who could only rely on the Magician's Guild's monthly ten gold coins to survive. It should be known that learning magic was also a very expensive matter. You had to buy magic materials, magic staffs, magic stones, food, drink, and all of these cost money.
Casa City's Magician's Guild was still very imposing. It was only two blocks away from the main street. It was a palace-like three-story building, covering an area of nearly a thousand square meters. This was not small in Casa City.
Above the Guild's main gate, there was a six-pointed star emblem that represented the magicians. This six-pointed star pattern represented the six basic elements of nature: light, dark, wind, water, fire, and earth. It was also the symbol of all Magician's Guilds.
Rock stopped the carriage. Green jumped down and opened the door. Zhao Hai and Meg came out of the carriage. They looked at the house and slowly walked inside.
The three people had just taken two steps when they saw a fat man quickly walk out of the Guild. This man was wearing a servant's uniform, but the material of the uniform was made of high-quality silk. It was very inconsistent with the style of the uniform. In addition to his fat stature, he looked more like a noble than a servant.
This fat man quickly walked in front of Zhao Hai. He bowed to Zhao Hai and said, "Respected Mr. Magician, your servant Carl is at your service."
This made Zhao Hai stare. He didn't know that all the people in the Magician's Guild would call themselves servants when they saw a magician. And this Carl was the person in charge of the Magician's Guild in Casa City.
However, Zhao Hai still remembered Green's instructions. He just lightly snorted and walked inside the Guild.
The first floor of the Guild was obviously a place to rest. It was divided into two areas. One area had a sofa and a coffee table, while the other area had several dining tables.
This was also a rule of the Magician's Guild. Every Magician's Guild had such a decoration. As long as a magician was registered in the Magician's Guild, they could rest and eat here for free.
Zhao Hai went to the resting area and found a sofa to sit down. Fatty Carl followed closely behind the three people. When he saw Zhao Hai sit down, he immediately waved his hand to several people dressed as servants. One of them immediately ran to the kitchen and took out a pot of tea and several cups.
After putting down the cup, Carl personally poured a cup of tea for Zhao Hai. He then stood there and bowed, "Respected Mr. Magician, how may I be of service to you?"
Zhao Hai didn't touch the cup of tea. He just sat there and waved his hand. Green immediately said, "Mr. Carl, our family's Mister came here today to register. I ask Mr. Carl to help."
Carl quickly said, "It would be my honor to serve Mr. Magician. Mister, please follow me to the back. We need to go through the registration process. I hope you can cooperate."
Zhao Hai gently nodded. He stood up and followed Carl to the back of the hall. Carl walked in front of Zhao Hai, guiding him. What Green didn't see was that Carl's eyes flashed from time to time. Obviously, he wasn't a simple character.
What Green didn't know was that in addition to being the person in charge of the Magician's Guild, Carl was also the head of the Purcell Duchy's intelligence department. In fact, he knew about Zhao Hai's identity the moment Zhao Hai entered Casa City. It was precisely because he knew that he personally went out to greet Zhao Hai. He wanted to know about Zhao Hai's background. In general, he didn't need to personally receive a magician who came to register.
