When Hill was wondering which step to start from, he discovered that there were other things in the book box that Ellie put on the table.
When he took it over and looked at it, he found that it was the title deed of his place of residence, as well as the permission for unlimited construction... Of course, Count Ster asked Hill in a very humble tone to try not to exceed the height of the watchtower on the castle.
.
In fact, he asked Hill not to build a magic tower.
That's no problem.
He didn't originally plan to build it.
However, Hill thought that this thing would be sent to Ellie after he accepted Ellie's request. However, without considering Hill's refusal, he just put it in the book box and gave it to him?
These things... Just like what Hill said at the beginning, since Miss Steer asked for advice in the name of someone who can't understand it, Hill only needs to give them a modern translated text.
.
Judging from her performance, Ellie is also mentally prepared for this.
According to common sense, this land located in the central area or even where the mage lives is the teaching fee for Hill.
If I give it to him today... is it possible that when Ellie comes back, she will give him a reward higher than the value of this land?
The Steer family behaved a bit too grovelingly, and Hill felt that something was wrong no matter how he thought about it.
Earl Ster wouldn't think that he could be allowed to be a tutor, would he?
Hill shook his head. The earl seemed quite shrewd and had good sense of proportion. He shouldn't be that stupid.
Besides, isn’t there that Janos here?
It was probably because there was something else that required Hill to bear the name. Otherwise, the gift would have seemed too light.
Because of the tacit monopoly of these mages and aristocrats, Oasis's alchemy knowledge is really valuable. If Hill wants to teach a student who he has not taken a liking to, the funds required are not a small amount.
Count Steer should not be able to afford it...unless he is the one who wants to learn alchemy, otherwise, according to noble habits, even his heir is not qualified to use up most of the family's resources.
If it's just a name, that's not impossible.
Hill glanced at Garland's notes on the table and smiled...if he got something from Garland's magic tower, he probably wouldn't refuse it.
He was very suspicious that although what he really wanted to say was written down in these notebooks,... with Garland's habitual nagging, he might easily leave some thoughts in many places.
Hill really wanted to see this... Really, just from Garland's various comments about the gods of Trasil, it can be seen that this is a person with very own opinions.
Although a bit biased, most of them are quite consistent... For example, the goddess of hunting is definitely not as big-hearted as he thought, and Sesame Ren'er is a compliment to her.
Amberli would never be deceived to that extent by a hypocritical man with nothing but his face.
However, when Garland came out of Trasil, the Hunting Goddess probably hadn't asked her maid to give birth to a child for the Elven God King, right?
So it is understandable that he slightly overestimated the lady.
Three days passed very quickly, and Ellie soon appeared outside Hill's station with Lind carrying two huge boxes.
Then she stopped in front of the exquisite and complicated metal door that had appeared... Are jasmine flowers wrapped on that door?
The smell is very fresh and elegant, much lighter than the jasmine she is familiar with, and you can only smell it when you walk in front of the door.
The flowers were like little windmills, white and pure. When she just got off the carriage, she thought the flowers were turning with the wind!
However, maybe, after all, this archmage's illusion is very powerful...and very lethal.
At least, so far, there is no trace of those guests who "accidentally entered", and even their bodies have not been thrown out.
Ellie always felt that Finch would stay put because there must be something wrong with the identity of the person they trapped.
Two days ago, I heard that the man from Ismail's family went in with a bunch of gifts. Although he was not very happy when he came out, he didn't look depressed at all.
It is estimated that those people, at least the last few who rushed in, are still alive, and Mr. Belfran has also promised not to kill them for the time being.
Ellie led Lind towards the door. A bluebell with small white flowers mixed in the jasmine vine suddenly poked out, and a dull female voice came out: "Stretch out your right hand."
Ellie blinked her long black eyelashes, took off her gloves, and raised her right hand.
The bluebell wrapped around her little finger, and when she left, it left a thin grass ring on her finger. In the middle of the ring was a bell flower as big as a grain of rice.
She placed her right hand among the jasmine vines as if she was blessed, and then the metal door quickly opened inwards.
Ellie covered her lips with her hands in surprise: "Oh my God!"
"Sister Ellie?" Linde stood behind her holding a box, craning his neck to look inside.
Then he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows... After all, three days ago, there should have been only one carriage here.
But now, it has turned into a two-and-a-half-story marble villa covering an area of 500 meters. There is even a fountain pool in front of the villa... In the middle of the water is a lavender bellflower, only 10 shallow.
Centimeter shallow pools are distributed throughout the entire vestibule.
Except for a blue stone road, there is no other place for people to walk... It seems that the archmage does not intend to open the door to welcome guests.
The style is not that special, but... the time is incredibly short.
how did you do that?
Ellie took a deep breath and solemnly warned Lind: "Don't talk too much in front of Sage Belfran!
If he's not going to talk to you, don't be too clever, you know?"
"I know!" Linde looked at the villa with solemn eyes... This time, he knew better what kind of person he was facing!
He must not make mistakes!
Whether it is the Ismail family or the Finch family, they are able to run rampant in the city of Basia, isn't it because they have a great sage behind them?
Ellie took Linde into the castle step by step. Today, when Count Stehr asked her to bring Linde with her, she was a little worried.
She just hoped that Archmage Belfran wouldn't care about her brother who was helping her carry the box.
Hill didn't show any dissatisfaction, but after checking Ellie's homework, he taught her the standard homework of an alchemy apprentice... Just like the first lesson of sketching, although it is eternal, it is the foundation.
basic homework.
Then he asked her to come back the day after tomorrow with her homework... Hill didn't ask her to do it how many times. As long as it could be completed, Hill didn't care whether she finished it a hundred times or a thousand times.
He ignored Linde who was trying to eavesdrop.
But he didn't show much affection for this innocent-looking boy... How should I put it?
The undead are more sincere than him.
Then his life got back on track.
Hill made a very good arrangement for himself...reading notes every morning, and going out for shopping every other day in the afternoon.
Therefore, the people of Basia City soon discovered that this high-level mage, who did not care about the threat of the Alchemy Association and the traditional nobles at all, found that his greatest pleasure every day was visiting street stalls.
He has no interest at all in those high-end stores with luxurious decoration...he only goes in a few times to change change.
But because the gold bars or gold nuggets Hill took out were obviously pure versions refined through alchemy, and were nearly 20% purer than the gold bars circulating in the hands of ordinary merchants, and the price was based on the old version, so these
Luxury stores also began to look for something that could attract the Archmage to come in for change.
After all, this sage, who is a master of alchemy, seems to have a very high vision. He never cares much about those precious and strange alchemical products, but prefers some folk art.
Especially some of the handicrafts from the Elf Forest, he seems to like it very much... Although the elves all moved away hundreds of years ago, there are still some elves with lower bloodline, and their parents don't care about staying... You know
, these elves took away all the half-elves!
Even some quarter-bloods, who were almost like humans except for their slightly pointy ears, followed the elves' strange-looking tree-shaped magic ships away if they wanted to.
Although some of these elves have stayed for the sake of their children with humans, since the desertification of Oaises has become more and more severe, the elves are not willing to deal with humans anymore, so the remaining half-elves,
It is said that there are not even ten.
But because the elves who left gave control of the Elf Forest to these half-elves, although humans invaded almost half of the forest, it was only on the periphery.
In the middle part, these descendants of elves, numbering only two to three hundred people, are still preserved.
However, these half-elves with relatively distant bloodlines seem to be much more prosperous now after intermarrying with each other and even absorbing some humans from outside.
It is said that there are thousands of people in that forest city!
As the number of residents increases, the days of self-sufficiency will gradually change. Therefore, over the past few hundred years, there will also be some elf-made products... Although the ones that have been circulated are basically not true elf handicrafts, but
It's just that there is no natural blessing like before, and there is a soothing aura that fills the soul with gentle caress. At least it can refresh the mind and stimulate the spirit.
Besides, these handicrafts are not that expensive, and can be found in stores... Real elf products are dared to be sold in stores, but others dare not buy them!
Who knows if it was stolen from a noble family.
Hill actually had no choice but to spend money to buy half-elf paintings, weavings, and even some small jewelry boxes carefully carved from wood that was naturally scented.
