The mage arrives

() With a goal, the feeling of confusion at the beginning of time travel will dissipate a lot.Gordon felt that he had adjusted to life in the new world and fully integrated into his current identity.

As a mage, there are only a few ways to make money by using your abilities.

Serve as tutors for noble children who wish to become mages, and charge tuition fees.For a low-level mage like him who has only mastered first-level spells, this one obviously doesn't work.

Join an adventure group, hoping to find a hidden treasure in a dangerous ruin and get rich overnight.Not long ago, he almost died because of participating in an adventure group, and this path was immediately ruled out by Gordon.

Copy scrolls, mix potions, create wonders, and enchant items.There are four safe and effective ways to make money.

For low-level mages, the first two are more suitable methods, because the cost is lower, and the required knowledge reserve is relatively simple, and only a single skill is required.

As for item enchanting, a mage needs to master the knowledge of runes, magic circles, and enchanting. In more fashionable terms, this is a compound discipline.

However, judging from Gordon's actual situation, it is more practical to make money by enchanting items than other ways.

First of all, Gordon's mother is a mage. Of course, her rank is not high, otherwise she would not have married her father, a small nobleman.However, she still has certain attainments in strange object manufacturing and item enchanting.

Among the inheritance she left to Gordon was not only a book on item enchanting, but also a fully functional magic workbench.

Not long ago, Gordon worked in a magic workshop in Clear Water City for a long time, and he had well honed his skills related to enchanting.

The so-called doing what is familiar but not raw, it is easier to follow the old path than to open up a new path, and the risk is also smaller.

However, Gordon, who had just decided on a money-making route and was eagerly preparing to do something big, discovered a very serious problem: he didn't have the raw materials for making magic items, and he didn't have enough money to buy them!

This feeling is like spending eight hours hard to download an avi, only to find out that it is the complete works of "Gourd Baby" after taking off my pants!

"Do it! It seems that I have to find a job first and earn enough start-up capital." Gordon counted the silver coins in his wallet that were only enough for a few days of food, wanting to cry without tears.

Xiona, who runs the house all year round, is very good at cooking. After eating a tender and juicy deer steak in the kitchen, Gordon walked out of the house with a full stomach full of confidence.

This whole day, should be able to find a job?

With a population of [-], Bishui City got its name from the Bishui River that divides the city in two.It is precisely because of this abundant river that Clearwater City, with its well-developed water transportation, can become one of the best trade distribution centers in the Northland.

The main road of the city is paved with large bluestones, and four carriages can drive side by side.Just building two first-class roads that traverse east, west, north and south, cost the city lord a year's tax.

It is golden autumn, and the leaves turn from green to yellow. Looking around, there is a brilliant golden color, which has both the bleakness of winter and the joy of fruit harvest.

Starting from Dongcheng District, where the nobles lived, across the Bishui River, Gordon first came to the west bank.

Because it is close to the water terminal, the goods flow is convenient, and there is a large flow of people, many businessmen choose to open shops and workshops here.Over time, a large-scale commercial district has formed on the West Bank.

Clear Water City is a vibrant commercial city with many job opportunities.Gordon felt that although his rank was not high, he was at least a mage with a high degree of education, so it should be easy for him to find a job.

But although the ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.

I ran for a day in vain and found nothing.Also because I had a meal in the tavern at noon, the already shriveled purse was a little lighter.

In the evening, Gordon dragged his exhausted body back home.

This day was not completely fruitless, at least he knew why it was so difficult to find a job.

For a low-level mage, the average monthly employment fee is 10 gold coins.In the countryside, the monthly expenditure of an ordinary family of three farmers is only one gold coin.

Obviously, there are not many people in Clear Water City who can afford this amount of money. It is completely normal for Gordon to not be able to find a new job for a while.Just like a farmer who doesn't have too many requirements and just wants to make a living, it is easy to find a job.However, it is not easy for a company executive who has just resigned from his job to quickly find a job with a salary that meets the requirements.

Although he got nothing during the day, Gordon was not shaken by this little setback.

After dinner, he came to the small study.

"Light Art."

Gordon snapped his fingers, and a ball of light rose from his palm, emitting a soft white light, filling the entire study.

In this world, books, especially magic books, are very valuable.It is dangerous to use open flames such as candles in the study.Moreover, the light source produced by the light technique is stronger than candles in terms of brightness and stability.He didn't want to become myopic before becoming a legendary mage.

That is to say, only Gordon, who casts spells by mana, can afford to use the light spell to illuminate.You know, other mages can usually cast four zero-level spells a day!

Gordon picked up the previous book "Principles and Applications of Level [-] Commonly Used Spells".

In "Ancient Era", there are two ways for players to obtain experience points: theory or practice.

Theories include reading books, scrolls, stone tablets, wall carvings, etc., items that carry information, or spending money to receive education and training from NPCs.

Practice includes fighting, taking risks, and completing tasks.

When Gordon checked his attributes, he found that he was only 20 points short of experience before he could be promoted to the third level.

The mages of "Ancient Era" can use zero-level spells at the first level-that is, commonly known as tricks, and there are also first-level spells.And every time you upgrade two character levels, you can learn a higher level of spells.

Being able to cast secondary spells is a great temptation for Gordon, which can significantly improve his strength.

"Ancient Era" is a virtual online game that adopts a number of new technologies and claims to be completely the same as the real world except that it has no pain.The game has achieved the ultimate in all kinds of details.Players want to gain experience points and learn skills by reading books, but they can't simply turn over a few pages and get things done.

Only after carefully reading all the text of the book, fully understanding the content, and memorizing the key information, the system will judge that the reading is complete.

Finishing a book in the game is equivalent to reading a book in reality.

Fortunately, Gordon, who has experienced potential development and education in the new era, is no stranger to reading and learning.

系统显示他的智力如今高达19点。这个世界普通人类的平均智力为10，也就是iq90到100，相当于高登那个世界200年前，也就是21世纪的水平。

In Gordon's era, with the development of technology and the improvement of education models, the average iq reached 130, converted into game data, it was an intelligence level of 17.

Gordon, who was admitted to a world-class university, has an iq of 150.After soul time travel, although his body has been changed, his brain still maintains the level of a highly intelligent person who has undergone potential development and systematic education in a highly civilized society.

If a mage wants to learn a certain spell, his intelligence must reach the spell level plus 10.For example, if Gordon wants to learn the third-level spell fireball, his intelligence must be at least 13.

And the previous Gordon, who had been learning spells since he was a child, was unable to break through for more than ten years and touched the second layer of the magic net.It means that his intelligence is only 11, which is only slightly better than ordinary people.Throughout his life, I am afraid that he can only master first-level spells.

Gordon, who has an intelligence of 19 points, has an innate advantage in the career path of a mage.Moreover, for every four character levels, players can get a free attribute point.As long as he doesn't die halfway, it's only a matter of time before Gordon masters the ninth-level spell.Of course, whether one can make a breakthrough and become a legend depends on good luck.

The future is great, the future is bright, and it is precisely because of this that Gordon gave up the way of gaining experience points through risky battles.

Because the risk is too great.

A low-level mage like him is not powerful in combat, and can only undertake auxiliary work in the adventure team.Powerful adventure groups generally have their own dedicated spellcasters, and they look down on Gordon.Although those low-level adventurers welcome any mage to join, their strength is worrying and their self-protection ability is low.Joining a group like that is not much different from committing suicide.

It's still safe and comfortable to stay at home, flip through books, learn the magic knowledge of other worlds, and slowly gain experience.

Before mastering the third-level spell, Gordon would never take the initiative to participate in the battle.

In just one night, Gordon finished reading "The Principles and Applications of Level 63 Commonly Used Spells".Since the previous reading progress had reached 37%, Gordon only got the remaining [-] experience points and two arcane knowledge skills.

But enough.After Gordon took out 37 of the 20 experience points in the experience pool and distributed them to the characters, a warm current surged from his chest and spread to his limbs.This feeling is very familiar to Gordon, and he has experienced it countless times in "The Ancient Ages"-he has upgraded.

For each level up, Gordon will increase his mana cap by 20 and gain 2 base skill points.The rapid learning characteristic of the human race allows Gordon to gain one more skill point for each level up.And he has 19 points of intelligence, and his intelligence adjustment value reaches +4, so he can get an additional four skill points. Adding up, one upgrade can get a total of seven skill points.

Gordon invested two skill points in item enchanting, two skill points in magic circles, and the last three skill points in runes.

In this way, the three skills related to item enchanting have reached level eight.

Then, Gordon turned his attention to the specialty column.

When a character's level reaches a multiple of three, one specialty point can be obtained.

With little hesitation, he chose to learn "flexible craft".

This feat allows Gordon to increase the success rate and improve the quality of finished products when manufacturing magic items.

Although specialties such as "Combat Casting", "Elementary Spell Empowerment", "Elementary Spell Fixation", and "Spell Penetration" are also very good and can increase combat effectiveness, they are of little significance to Gordon.

Making money is the most serious issue he faces now.
