The Witcher: Start with getting the Crimson modifier

Chapter 8 Constructed Knights, The Fate of Failed Products

Aaron didn't dare to spend all his quintals. He just learned about the prices on the black market.

The main currency in Jialan Academy is magic stones, but it doesn't mean that rare precious metals like gold coins are devalued to be worthless.

It's just that its purchasing power is not as strong in the wizarding world as it is in the mundane world.

It's better to have a little gold in your pocket than nothing.

"From 6 to 3, An Jia, you are a natural businessman. Hey, I really can't do anything about you. Everyone has difficulties."

"The rental price is fixed. I can't give you less, but." Triss leaned against the shelf with a full arc, which added a bit of charm to her. Her voice changed: "If you can accept the rental The time is reduced by two-thirds, and with 3 gold thalers, I can rent you 8 natural hours."

Originally, 6 gold thalers were rented for one day, which is equivalent to about 0.25 gold thalers per hour.

In this way, Aaron only needs to pay 8 gold thalers for an 2-hour lease.

But that's not how it works out in reality.

Triss was willing to make concessions and let Aaron rent it out at the price of 3 gold thalers. This was her personal investment for Aaron's 'talent'.

If Aaron still insists on the price difference and refuses to let go, he will only talk about this matter.

The number of apprentices that Jialan Academy recruits every five years is countless.

There are not many talented apprentices among them.

But how many geniuses can go to the end?

A genius who has not fully realized his talent is not a real genius!
What's more, this matter has collapsed. For Triss, the loss is nothing more than a "big business" worth 3 gold thalers, and it has no impact at all.

But for Aaron, it will affect the development of his plan.

Comparing the two, which is more important, needless to say.

"Ms. Triss, you won't be punished by the boss, right?" Aaron said with worry on his face.

Triss saw Aaron's concern that didn't seem fake, and her smile became gentle again: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

The wizards of Jialan are generally indifferent, but they also have human emotional needs.

No one likes to be treated with a stinky face all day long——

Unless he's a pervert.

"Great, thank you Ms. Triss, you really helped me a lot." Aaron thanked him sincerely.

"Then how can you thank me?"

"After the royal family transfers money to my account next month, I will definitely come to buy equipment from you." Aaron said happily.

"You're a big kid, there are a lot of places to use money in Jialan Academy, so if you have this little money, you can keep it well."

Triss has a good sense of Aaron, and kindly reminded: "Anjia, the sooner you cultivate the spiritual seeds, the better. If you exceed the one-year period given by the academy, you will only be consumables for the academy in your life."

"Consumables?" Aaron lowered his voice and asked, "If it's convenient for you, can you tell me?"

"It's not some secret information. It's not inconvenient. I think you saw the guard at the door when you entered the black market?"

"They are apprentices who have not cultivated their spiritual seeds within a year. Because they owe too much debt and cannot pay it off within the stipulated time, they can only be forced to accept the transformation of the academy and become Constructed Knights, working hard for the academy."

"Constructed knight?"

"A group of short-lived ghosts who can barely use zero-ring witchcraft." Triss pursed her lips.

Her face was hidden in the shadows, making it difficult to see her expression at this time.

"Thank you, Ms. Triss, I will definitely cultivate the spiritual seeds as soon as possible!"

"Then I would like to say congratulations in advance to the future wizard Anga."

"This is your gift." Triss snapped her fingers, and an A4 contract appeared out of thin air.

【Liletrice Grocery Cabin Rental Contract】

Bold headlines come into view.

Lily Tris?

Triss? !
"Ms. Triss, may I ask the owner of this shop?"

Triss put her hands on her hips, her head was raised slightly, her flaxen hair was hanging down, and she had a natural expression on her face: "Yes, it's me."

Well, not only the clerk, but also the boss, no wonder he is so stubborn.

The end of the lease contract is printed with a pattern representing Jialan Academy:
There is an inverted triangle in a ring, and a cold pupil stands in the middle of the inverted triangle.

Aaron noticed that there was a faint wave of magic power exuding from the seal. He kept the details of the pattern in his heart, checked the content of the contract, and signed his name on the spot after confirming that there was nothing extra.

"General Knowledge of the World of Nirn" has introduced that this kind of contract must be signed with a real name, unless you treat the other party as a fool and decide to use this to provoke the other party deliberately.
'Aaron Gasserell. '

Triss looked at the name signed by Aaron, raised her brows slightly, and said with a gentle smile, "Aaron Gatherel?"

Aaron showed a simple and kind smile, rubbed his hands and explained:
"An Jia is the name of the enemy who doesn't like me. He is also from the Duchy of Gasriel. He is my relative. Before he arrived at the academy, he had been making things difficult for me.

He hated me because I didn't give up my seat to him in meditation class. "

Aaron explained the whole story in a few words.

"Puchi~" Triss laughed loudly: "What a funny kid."

"This store also has witch tools for self-defense, but these things are only for sale, not for rent."

Aaron pointed to his pocket, which was cleaner than his face, and smiled wryly, "Ms. Triss, do you think I look like a rich man?"

"The difficulty is only temporary. I am very optimistic about you, the future wizard Anjia." Triss emphasized the name Anjia, and she looked like an old onmyoji.

Aaron showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Ms. Triss, don't make fun of me. My mother left early, so I can only use this unpleasant and stupid way. I'm sorry, please forgive me."

Aaron's words touched Triss. She looked at Aaron, who was stunted due to malnutrition, and understood a lot of things beyond words, and sincerely apologized:
"Sorry, I shouldn't have said that just now."

"If I want to apologize, I apologize first. I deceived you with a fake name first."

"It's nothing, your caution is correct. In the wizarding world, being cautious is a virtue."

"Thank you, Ms. Triss."

Aaron paused and said, "I want to go to the cage first, is that okay?"

When he said this, he quietly observed the expression on Triss' face.

Triss waved her hand carelessly, and said:
"I see. Let me put the magic power detection crystal here first. Remember to take it when you come back later. The timing will start from the moment you get it."

"But are you sure you really want to bring the magic power detection crystal back to your residence? It's not safe outside." Triss pointed out.

Aaron heard Triss' implication, and he said gratefully: "That's why I have to go to the cage first. If it goes well, maybe Jintale, who rented the crystal for inspection, can pay in full."

Triss nodded: "It's good that you know it yourself."

She has a little crush on Aaron, but that's about it.

"Excuse me, Ms. Triss."

"If you really feel that it's troublesome for me, remember to come and take care of the business of the small shop in the future."

"Definitely in the future!"
