"Um, are you a senior apprentice?" The old man in gray robe couldn't help but ask.
Magicians are the collective name given to spellcasters by ordinary humans in the wizarding world. They are weak and do not know the difference between magic apprentices and formal magicians.
Only the magicians themselves can clearly distinguish between apprentices and formal magicians.
The old man in front of him is named Frank. He is an intermediate magic apprentice and the magic advisor to the city lord of Peter City.
In the eyes of ignorant people, this is a mysterious and powerful existence.
However, the other party has a kinder temperament, so both nobles and commoners will respectfully call him "Master".
However, in reality, this is just an intermediate apprentice.
At the Black Magic Academy in Mensobra City, if an apprentice lived to his age, he would still be an intermediate apprentice.
I'm afraid the grass on the grave is several meters high.
Faced with the old man's somewhat reckless inquiry, Thain didn't mind very much.
Nodding slightly, Thain replied: "Yes, I was just promoted to senior apprentice some time ago."
Thain's answer made the envy and surprise on the gray-robed old man's face even more obvious.
The old man then seemed to sigh: "To become a senior apprentice at such a young age, you must be from a very noble magic family, or have a knowledgeable and powerful mentor?"
This time, Thain immediately did not make any reply to the old man's words.
It was only after a long time that Thain nodded slowly and said, "Yes, my mentor is very knowledgeable."
"Then he must be a great formal magician, right?" the old man in gray robe asked.
The old man in gray robe seemed to have too many questions, and Thain gradually became impatient, with a cold look on his face.
The old man is also a good person. He is only an intermediate apprentice and may not have much talent in exploring the mysteries of magic and truth, but after living for so long, his eyesight must be quite valuable, let alone working as a magic consultant in the city lord's mansion.
Seeing that Thain had a bad look on his face, the old man just laughed and did not continue to act recklessly.
But after a moment, Thain took the initiative to talk to the old man in gray robe: "What kind of magic did you use to talk to me just now?"
"What's wrong with the sound transmission technique?" the old man asked strangely.
"This magic of yours is very good, do you have any trading ideas?" Thain asked.
Thain has never seen magic like telephony in the Black Magic Academy.
The main reason is that the environment in the underground world is relatively harsh. Whether it is an entry-level apprentice or a low-level apprentice, the first magic they learn must be offensive magic, and few people will choose functional magic.
Even when Thain was later promoted to an intermediate apprentice, he only limitedly chose a few more practical small magics such as light magic and cleansing magic.
His mentor Moses left many magic books to him, but the magic recorded in those magic books were at least intermediate magic and above. There were even several powerful magics used by official magicians.
Only there are no low-level magics and those magical tricks.
The sound transmission technique in front of him was more to his liking, so he directly negotiated the price with the gray-robed old man.
Of course, through the transaction with the gray-robed old man, Thain also wanted to find out the specific price of goods in the surface magic world.
The energy crystals above the first level he had were inconvenient to deal with, but the low, medium, and high-level crystals or Warcraft crystal cores below the first level did not have this hidden danger.
As a senior apprentice of Thain, as long as he is not too lavish, he will not attract the attention of interested people.
Thain's idea of learning the art of voice transmission shocked the gray-robed old man.
Voice transmission is not a profound magic. It can even be said that it is the first magic trick that many apprentices learn after they first come into contact with magic. It is of the same level as light and cleansing.
The gray-robed old man guessed that Thain might have just graduated from a certain master's apprenticeship, and that the other party might not have been exposed to the magical technique of sound transmission before.
Yes! Esain was promoted to senior apprentice at such a young age. In the past twenty years, he must have been immersed in magic and learning at all times, carefully and strictly following the lessons assigned to him by his mentor.
.
Frank, the old man in gray robe, was envious of this kind of apprentice.
Because this means that Thain must not lack relevant resources, as well as the acquisition of advanced knowledge, and even has professional and knowledgeable tutors to answer his questions and confusion.
It's not like a "wild magician" like Frank, who, after being led in by his mentor at a huge price, was kicked out again as soon as he came into contact with a little bit of the mysteries of truth.
Not only are they confused on the road to truth exploration, but they also have to find ways to raise the high expenses required for experiments and research.
Even ordinary nobles could not afford this expense, otherwise Frank would not have come to Petersburg to serve as a consultant to the city lord.
Isn't he interested in the money in other people's pockets?
Including Frank's mentor, he is just a quasi-magician.
When he accepted Frank and a group of other disciples into his school, it was only for the huge amount of tuition fees they paid.
Magicians generally adhere to the principle of equal transactions.
Sometimes, accepting a disciple and becoming a master can also be regarded as a transaction.
Of course, this situation of using money to do things is much better than the black magic academy in the underground world.
After all, in the Academy of Black Magic, the price some apprentices have to pay to become a disciple of an official black magician is his life.
Frank, the gray-robed magician, originally wanted to immediately nod and agree to Thain's deal.
However, thinking that the other party might come from a certain magic family or have a powerful master background, and should have a lot of good things in his hands, the slightly shrewd old man immediately replied: "Of course I can trade with you, but in five days, Peter will
There will be a small trade fair organized by magic apprentices outside the city, are you interested in participating?"
"We can complete the transaction at the trade fair, and have other magic apprentices as notaries, and we won't be afraid of being cheated by each other." The old man looked at Thain with interest.
"Five days? It's been a long time..." Sean was a little moved when he heard this, but he just lowered his head and muttered.
"Four days, only four days! I have their crystal ball contact information. It won't be a problem to hold the trade fair one or two days in advance."
"We are all old friends. Don't worry, our magic apprentices from several cities near Peter City will never trick outsiders." The old man in gray robe said, patting his chest.
This time, Thain finally nodded and said, "Okay, then I will wait here for four days."
"Would you like to go to the City Lord's Mansion to rest? Baron Petert will definitely welcome a young and knowledgeable magician like you to come to Petert City." The old man in gray robe invited.
Glancing in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, out of caution, Thain shook his head and refused: "No, I have booked a room at a hotel in the city."
