Yesterday, he didn't know the price of a question opportunity in the Mage Tower, but today, after going through some unspoken rules in the Arcane Garden, he finally understood the preciousness of the opportunity to ask questions.
You don't need to work for a month, you only need to help ask questions once. Calculated based on Xia Duo's salary, one question is worth 3 gold coins.
But the time gained by not working can be used to do one's own things. Obviously, if these are included, the value of asking a question is far more than 3 gold coins. It is impossible for Sha Duo to ask questions for Dean every day. The services provided by Dean
Not worth it.
Therefore, the transaction content must be re-agreed or the transaction object must be changed.
But since he missed it, Xia Duo wasn't going to chase him to the library to talk about it. After all, it was a seller's market and he could mention it at any time.
You still need to seize the time to sort out the dictionary, so that you can use your qualifications to ask questions to make more preparations in your initial stage. At least basic consumables such as pens, ink, and paper are indispensable.
Now that there is a whole volume of "Proverbs", Chateau first sorted out the words starting with the first two letters in the first half, and then sorted out the words starting with the third letter.
The time that he devoted himself to passed by very quickly. When Xia Duo got to the sixth letter, the lights went out and the dormitory fell into darkness.
It's 9 o'clock, and Chateau still has more than half of the letters to sort out, but Chateau believes that as he becomes more and more familiar with "Proverbs", the progress will be faster and faster.
…
The next day, Xia Duo woke up in front of the "get-up light" just like yesterday, and used the faint light to memorize the Nise language words that already had phonetic symbols and definitions for a while.
When 5 o'clock arrives, I immediately go out and go to the restaurant on the first floor to get breakfast. Then I don't have to wait for the steward to arrange work like yesterday, I just go directly to the Arcane Garden.
However, due to the existence of unspoken rules, Xia Duo only showed his face in front of the steward of the Arcane Garden and acted on his own.
Because Dean gave him the notes that copied "Proverbs" last night, Shado did not choose to memorize the words, but planned to sort out all the simple dictionaries first, and then memorize them directly through reading.
Memorizing words alone is not very efficient. Xia Duo has noticed it in the past two days, but he just doesn't want to waste time when the conditions are insufficient.
Throughout the morning, Xia Duo was sorting out his small dictionary of literacy tools. Unfortunately, the six sheets of parchment were not durable at all. Except for the blank spaces left for phonetic symbols and definitions, the rest of the pages were almost filled with writing.
Of course, Xia Duo, who only had 5 silver coins on his body, couldn't afford a blank notebook, so he had to think of ways to qualify for asking questions. So, he found Sami who was reading a book by the river.
Xia Duo did not hide the fact that he was studying writing, but went straight to the point, "Sammy, I'm sorry to disturb you, but I have to ask you something."
"What's the matter?" Although Sami was a little dissatisfied with Xia Duo for interrupting his thoughts, he did not refuse.
"I want to know how much those ordinary apprentices would pay for a chance to ask questions, if calculated in gold coins."
Sami suddenly laughed, "The same thing has different values to different people. If you are willing, I am willing to pay 15 gold coins each time in exchange for your opportunity to ask questions. It is usually difficult for ordinary apprentices to directly give
15 gold coins.”
15 gold coins can buy a 100-page blank notebook. All Xia Duo needs to pay is an opportunity to ask questions. According to this calculation, Xia Duo can earn 450 gold coins in a month!
However, this is at the expense of Xia Duo's own learning progress. It may be feasible in the early stage, but later on, you may need to ask other people for trading opportunities!
Xia Duo thought about it for a moment and felt that it would be okay to trade with Sami, so he agreed directly.
However, Sami added: "What I want to ask about is the specific courses of certain specific mages. You must go to the laboratories of those mages to take classes, and you can only ask questions after the classes are over."
Upon hearing this, Xia Duo frowned. According to what Sami said, he would not be able to attend the enlightenment class, and he could not understand the formal mage's class, so the price was a bit high.
Sha Duo told Sami that he was receiving magic enlightenment, and Sami showed a knowing smile, "We can do it like this. I can give you an enlightenment class in the morning, and in the afternoon you can help me ask questions. Every time I ask a question,
, I will pay you another 5 gold coins."
It was equivalent to 10 gold coins per lesson in the enlightenment class, and it was still tutoring alone, but Xia Duo thought about it carefully and gave up.
Compared to Sami, Shado is still more willing to believe in the enlightenment courses provided by the Mage Tower. Moreover, if the transaction is interrupted after a few times, then it means that the enlightenment courses are interrupted. It doesn't matter whether Ganar will re-open the courses.
Sure.
It may seem like you are taking advantage, but in fact you are likely to suffer a big loss and complicate matters.
"Sammy, I think this is too troublesome. I don't think it's better than this. I take classes at my own pace, but at the same time I can sell my own opportunities to ask questions. The person who asked questions last week was Apprentice Ganal. Please help me contact someone you know.
If anyone needs to ask Ganar a question, I don’t care how much you charge, I only charge you 5 gold coins each time.”
The biggest problem facing Xia Duo right now - in the final analysis, is lack of money!
If he had a lot of gold coins, he could even hire an official mage to give him tutoring. Literacy wouldn't be a problem, and some magical magic would allow him to learn the common language of Nese in an instant.
There are ways to play with money, and of course there are ways to play without money. But Xia Duo doesn't want to spend too much time worrying about whether he will suffer a loss. He wants to obtain some basic learning resources as quickly as possible.
Just like this morning, there is not enough parchment paper and the dictionary can no longer be compiled. This kind of waste of time is the most shameful.
Time is the greatest wealth. He is now 24 years old, and Sami in front of him is only 18 years old. He is already lagging behind, so how can he not catch up.
The only thing he can use now is the qualification to ask questions. He may have many questions to ask as he is undergoing enlightenment, but in fact it does not involve learning progress at all, and it is more about satisfying his curiosity.
Exchanging questions for resources and time is the best solution for Xia Duo.
After listening to Sha Duo's words, Sami was silent for a moment. He seemed to have heard Sha Duo's subtext, and agreed, "Okay, I will contact an apprentice for you, or you can call him a businessman. He has given up on the path of magic.
, but focus on integrating resources among apprentices. I think you may have many opportunities to contact him in the future."
"Thanks."
"You don't need to thank me. If I introduce you to him, I will get a large reward." Sammy's tone was very calm.
Obviously, if Xia Duo could not ask questions for him, Sami was not willing to waste time being a middleman, but directly introduced a middleman to Xia Duo.
…
For the rest of the morning, Xia Duo could not continue to sort out the dictionary. He could only memorize some of the pronunciations and meanings that had been compiled before, and this continued until noon.
Mages are very particular about efficiency, and apprentices are no exception. Shado and Sami hurriedly finished their lunch, and then went to the library floor together.
The "Business Apprentice" they were going to meet had rented a copy room on the library floor for a long time to run his intermediary business. It had only been two days since Xia Duo entered the Mage Tower, otherwise he would have known about this person sooner or later.
