21 Knowledge has a price

"When does your class start?"

Gumbutz ate breakfast listlessly.

Anna said with a straight face, "I'm going to attend the class later."

Gumbuz became energetic and reminded: "Remember to find an opportunity to ask what you need to buy meditation methods for your followers."

"I know, you've said it eight hundred times." Anna quickly stuffed the bread into her mouth and walked out with a pile of books.

"Why did you take away all the books?" Gumbuz asked anxiously.

"Of course I have to bring my books with me to class." Anna thought to herself, isn't this nonsense?

"All?" Gumbuz was shocked.

He didn't expect that he would need so many books in just a few classes.

Anna looked at his face, understood, and explained stiffly: "Not all, except for the books in class, I need to get Griffith to copy some notes."

Gumbuz was suddenly enlightened and thought it would be good to copy more notes.

"Is there anything else you want?" Anna asked before going out.

"It's okay, let's go." Gumbutz waved his hand.

After Anna left, Gumbutz cleared the table, then went back to his room and lay on the bed and fell asleep slowly.

Those weird noises had disturbed him all night last night.

He didn't sleep all night. In order to divert his attention, he could only read the book Anna brought back.

The reason why he was anxious just now was that he found that Anna had taken away a book called "The Composition of Witchcraft: The Beginning of the Sequence" that he read last night and didn't understand much. He was about to continue studying it.

Anna didn't realize that her book had been read.

She seemed to still be angry with Gumbutz for not cleaning her room.

...

Gumbutz backed out of the practice room.

I opened the door and saw Anna coming back cursing,

"It seems that you are not enjoying your class." Gumbutz opened the door.

Anna sighed angrily and piled the books on the table.

"Those bitches, Griffith has promised to copy them for me, but they still rob me. I can't bear it."

"Your temper is indeed unbearable." Gumbutz raised his chin and gestured to the kitchen, "There is dinner I made, delicious fried fish with fruits, and I also made your share."

Romance

While Anna went to get dinner, Gumbuz walked to the table, found the book "The Composition of Witchcraft: The Beginning of the Sequence", quickly turned to the page he saw last night and read it carefully.

This book seems to have some markings, which is a small and simple pattern.

Gumbuz was fascinated by what he saw. When he raised his head, he found Anna gnawing on the fish while glaring at him fiercely.

"What's wrong?"

"What do you think?"

"How do I know what's wrong?"

"You don't know? What did you say you were doing now?"

"Read a book."

"What are you reading?"

""The Composition of Witchcraft: The Beginning of the Sequence" is quite interesting."

"Of course it's interesting. I spent three times on this book."

"Hi~ So expensive."

"You know it's expensive."

"Um."

"Huh? What then?"

"Then? Does this book have other secrets?"

"Don't act stupid."

"I'm not pretending. If you have something to say, just say it."

"Humph, look at the books I bought with money, don't you know that knowledge has a price?"

"I know the value of three pieces of cloud iron."

"That's what I bought. You want to give me money if you read my book."

"Anna, don't worry. Since I read your book, in exchange, I will prepare a dinner for you every night. See, the fish you are eating now is carefully cooked by me. Doesn't it have a unique flavor?"

"This is just ordinary food. A cloud of iron is worth tens of thousands of gold. Can it be compared?"

"Don't worry so much, beautiful girls know how to share."

"I don't care, if you still want to see it, you have to at least pay me a cloud iron."

"Can a piece of cloud and iron be enough to read all the books?"

"If you think too much, it's like a book and a cloud."

"too expensive."

"In order to buy all these books, I spent twenty-seven pieces of cloud iron. Today the Potions class teacher said that we have to pay extra for the materials used in the class. For ordinary materials, one piece of cloud iron per class. If used

Potions are precious and there is an extra charge. The money I have left is only enough for twenty days of classes at most. Do you know the key? If we successfully make the potions, those potions are not ours yet, teacher.

It will be collected as soon as possible.”

Anna finished speaking in one breath, with firm eyes.

Today's class gave her a thorough understanding of what knowledge is valuable.

Gumbutz slapped a hand on the table. When he moved it away, a row of ten pieces of cloud iron was left on the table.

"Knowledge has a price."

"As long as you understand."

Anna was beaming with joy. She didn't expect Gumbuz to be so forthcoming when giving money.

"By the way, can you give me those potion ingredients you snatched last time?" Anna suddenly thought of it.

"cannot."

"I'll buy it with a piece of cloud iron."

"hehe."

"Three pieces, I took three pieces from you then."

"Have you learned the meditation method?" Gumbuz looked at her.

"I learned it." Anna nodded.

"Can't you teach me privately?" Gumbuz tried to ask, "Give me the meditation method. The materials will be sent to you directly. In addition, I will give you a piece of mithril."

"I have sworn an oath and cannot give it privately." Anna's answer was as expected.

"So, is there any news about my follower learning the meditation method?" This is the focus of Gumbutz's attention.

"Not yet." Anna thought for a while, "I asked Griffith, and he said that the best way is to have a senior wizard apprentice teach it personally. But it is expensive."

“One piece of witch gold is not enough?”

"I have no idea."

"I think it's more than enough." Gumbuz recalled the news he collected at Wandering Corner yesterday, "If you know a senior wizard apprentice with good credit, help me introduce him, or you can consult on my behalf."

"No problem. I heard that sometimes senior apprentices come to teach. If you give me another thirty cloud irons, I can sign up for a paid course, which will make it easier to get to know senior wizard apprentices."

Anna looked at him expectantly.

Gumbuz started reading the book again.

At night.

Gumbuz was half-lying on the bed. There were three books on the cabinet, but the one he held in his hand was "The Composition of Witchcraft: The Beginning of the Sequence".

Some knowledge is related and needs to be found in other books.

For example, sequence symbols, the seven symbols that form the most basic "Wizard's Hand", require an invisible and qualitative element from "Basic Elements" to coordinate the execution. What affects this element also involves "Meditation"

Method: Simple Application" book.

And "Meditation Method: Simple Application" requires "Meditation Method" to practice.

There was nothing Gumbuz could do about this.

He knew he had to get the meditation method as soon as possible.

Gumbuz put down the witchcraft composition and pulled out a book in the middle of the cabinet. He also saw a small and simple pattern mark on the book.

Time passes slowly.

Those weird murmurs appeared again.

Gumbuz quickly picked up the cotton and stuffed it into his ears.

Keep reading.

However, I don’t know if it was due to the appearance of those sounds. When Gumbutz read a book again, a symbol would always appear in his eyes. When his eyes fell on the pattern on the page, his breathing became disordered unconsciously, and his emotions became abnormal.

.

Confused——

Disillusionment——

Do nothing——

Nothing to rely on——

At this moment, my thoughts were on the verge of collapse.
