Sure enough, on the second day after the opening of Baiyi's smithy, he received his first official reward.
"This is the Everfrost Crystal from the Land of Extreme Frost!" A male student with a golden tulip pin on his collar said to Baiyi as he pushed a small magic bottle that was engraved with fine magical runes towards Baiyi. Even though the student was still young, he looked extraordinarily mature. His manner was mature and steady, which was a stark contrast to the other kids who were still young and naive. It was no wonder that he was an elite student with a golden collar pin. He was much more experienced in dealing with people.
Earlier yesterday, Baiyi had reconnected a few of the broken knuckles of his Soul Armature. It was a very expensive set of specialized armor. Even though it was not as good as the black mountain of gold that the Dole family owned, it was still a very good set of armor. Furthermore, there was also the soul of a warrior who was close to the Immortal Level residing in it. That was definitely a very powerful Soul Armature! However, as he had just descended not too long ago, he could not control his strength well. In the process of adapting to the new environment, he accidentally used too much force and broke a few of his fingers.
It was almost an impossible task for an ordinary blacksmith to fix it but Baiyi easily welded a few of the fingers back together. Because the consciousness was still in the fingers, the Soul Armature was finally restored to its original state. Other than the weld marks that were left on the fingers, the Soul Armature was restored to its original state.
Throughout the entire repair process, the student had been watching from the side. He did not express any surprise towards Baiyi's superb skills like the other students. However, his eyes were still filled with amazement. He did not say much on the spot. After thanking his Soul Armature politely, he left with the bottle of Everfrost Crystal. However, early in the morning, he had already sent the bottle of Everfrost Crystal to Baiyi.
To be honest, the Everfrost Crystal was a high-grade magical material. Even if it was not as valuable as the one that he stole from Undine, it was still about the same price as that high-end armor. That kind of behavior was already an obvious sign of goodwill.
More importantly, after the gift was delivered, he did not say anything else. He did not even leave his name. Instead, he took his leave. This was, without a doubt, Baiyi's favorite way of doing things. The Archmage could not help but sigh. "Why are the youngsters these days so mature?"
Compared to him, the delicious sausages that the other students brought from their hometown, the exquisite garland that they made themselves, and the pot of flowers that they carefully fed were not enough.
But then again, although those things were not valuable, Baiyi liked them even more. He could feel the kindness and sincerity of those children. From a certain point of view, those things were actually the most valuable gains.
The students would eventually grow up, they would become stronger and they would get to know more and more people. At the same time, the Voidwalkers would also one day be exposed to the light of the sun. The little act of kindness that he did now would most likely win him more support and tolerance in the future, becoming a force that could help the Voidwalkers regain their reputation.
In order to truly liberate the Voidwalkers, it was not as simple as releasing all of them and killing all those who opposed them. It was not as simple as acting as a good guy. That was merely changing them from one cage to another. What Baiyi wanted to do was to let the real world accommodate them. Only then would he be able to truly liberate the Voidwalkers.
Of course, that was a complicated and distant goal. It was so far that the Voidwalkers could not even see it. The only thing that Baiyi could do now was to quietly sow the seeds. That was why he placed the pot of flowers on the windowsill of Mia's dormitory and did not forget to water it every morning.
His teacher, the Archmage, was naturally supportive of his idea. However, he still said with a hint of regret, "My achievements in magic are not as good as yours but you seem to think more about this aspect?"
"Isn't that good? I've earned both money and people's hearts! " Playing with the bottle of Perpetual Motion Ice Crystal in his hand, Baiyi changed the topic and said, "This thing is not easy to exchange for money anyway. Looks like I'll have to use that plushie again."
"Oh! My Aurora's Forgiveness can finally shoot out ice spells normally instead of water guns and water arrows! " The Explorer exclaimed excitedly. Using a plushie to release his own unique magic was really not in line with his aesthetics.
"But I think it would be better to use it to solidify an ice defense spell, right? Something like Ice Armor or Ice Barrier can effectively protect Mia's safety in times of need. "Baiyi put forward a different idea.
"If you're thinking about it purely from the perspective of increasing combat power, then using these as a summoning medium to summon a powerful ice summoning beast should be the best choice, right? Like an Ice Sprite, a Frozen Bird, a Water Arrow Turtle or a Steel Shell Pupa? " The Ninth Walker's Soul Armature Practitioner gave such a suggestion. As a summoner who had successfully invented the masterpiece of the Soul Armature, he had put forward such a constructive idea.
Hmm, this idea is not bad. It feels very reliable but what the hell are those things that you gave me? Are they creatures from this world? You're a summoner, not a trainer! And the last two things are not ice element at all, right?
To his surprise, the Soul Armature Practitioner said in a rational manner, "Don't worry about these details, Sir Hope. I'm just giving an example casually. It's fine as long as you can understand what I mean."
Just as Baiyi received a rare piece of reliable advice, the Astrologer Walker expressed his dissatisfaction and voiced his opinion, "I think all of you are thinking too much. With just a few Everfrost Crystals, without the help of other materials, the solidified spell will not be very effective. This is a serious waste of resources," the Astrologer Walker said.
Oh, it's rare that this guy is not acting like a gentleman at all. Is he starting to show off his professionalism as a strong person? Looks like this group of people is really something to look forward to after they become normal! Baiyi thought to himself as he looked forward to the Astrologer's next words.
"So, this is my suggestion. Use these materials to make a formation similar to the freezer on Earth. Then, we'll collect fruit juice, sugar, milk and so on to make those ice element desserts on Earth. It's almost June now and the weather will gradually get warmer. These delicious desserts will be very popular among the students, "the Astrologer continued.
So, after all this talk, all you want is for me to sell popsicles? Let's not talk about how troublesome the process will be. How are we going to make money if we can't do this on a large scale? I guess I shouldn't have high expectations for people like you … Baiyi thought to himself in disappointment.
Facing the doubts of Baiyi and the other Voidwalkers, the Astrologer's imposing manner did not diminish at all. Maintaining his solemn and professional attitude, he said, "Everyone, please don't jump to conclusions so quickly. I'm not a shallow person like you think I am. This is just the beginning of my plan. Please listen to me."
Oh? Could it be that this is the beginning of some kind of cold drink brand? If I can really do that, then it can be regarded as an excellent way to earn money. Although it's a little too far in the future, it's not completely impossible. So, I've misunderstood this guy? No wonder he's the Stargazer! His foresight is really far-sighted!
Perplexed, the Astrologer retorted, "Huh? I didn't think that far ahead. I just intend to charge the boys and provide it to the girls for free. "
Huh? What a strange arrangement! Is there any deeper meaning behind it?
"Of course there is! Think about it, be it Mia-chan or any other cute little girl, holding a milky milk popsicle in their hands, opening their cherry lips and sucking on the popsicle with all their might, or sticking out their little pink tongues to lick the whole popsicle bit by bit … Just imagining such a scene is enough to make my heart and soul feel refreshed! Everyone! I'm so excited... Urghhh... "
Before he could finish his speech, Baiyi forcefully Muted him. Sure enough, it's a stupid thing to have high expectations for this guy...
In the face of his comrade who was being bullied, the Paladin Walker immediately defended him, "Even though there are some problems with his last train of thought but at least it can be considered as providing a new train of thought, right? Let's think about it from another perspective. The hot summer is coming soon and that means that the girls' clothes will become thinner and their skirts will become shorter so that they can show off their physical development. Then, we can... Urghhh... "
Baiyi also Muted him. After all, there was no need for him to continue listening to what the Paladin Walker had to say. After all, they were like-minded companions. Their way of thinking was a little different from ordinary people.
In any case, the discussion had come to an end. In the end, Baiyi still could not figure out how to use the high-grade material so he simply kept it back into his stomach and attended to the patients for the day first. Sure enough, after the senior students brought their Soul Armatures to the door one after another, there were even more people who came today. There were also some members of the society among them. Some of the Soul Armatures also had scars or traces of magic on their bodies.
It seemed like Baiyi's reputation had spread outside of the academy in a very short period of time. This was a good sign. What was even better was that these people had more or less prepared some kind of reward.
Even though Baiyi did not speak much during the repair process and did not even mention anything about money, the students and the society members still obediently put the money or gifts on the small empty table at the side. For a moment, the small table was almost covered with gold coins.
