Professor of Magic

Chapter 46 Chapter 45
"I am an honest man."

Everyone was stunned by Lin Yuan's first words when he came up.

"I can tell everyone clearly that this book will not be the only one." Lin Yuan took the book on the table that made everyone crazy. "Your Excellency the two great magisters want the knowledge in this book to be known to people all over the continent. Therefore, the two of them authorized me to be responsible for the printing and distribution of this book."

At this moment, Lin Yuan felt that he was very much like the spokesperson at the press conferences on TV.

"One month later, there will be a hundred copies of "The Theory and Fundamentals of Mixed Magic" printed by the Royal Library of the Kus Empire, priced at 100 gold coins. If you want to know what this book is about, you can go to the Royal Books Museum purchase. Of course, reservations are also accepted now.”

At first, Lin Yuan felt that this price was a bit high. After all, as a teacher of Fenol School of Magic, his monthly salary was only 10 gold coins.And these 10 gold coins are enough for Lin Yuan to eat at the largest restaurant in Wendnuo City every day for a month without any problem.But what Vince said later left him completely speechless.

"When I was a child, my monthly pocket money was 10 gold coins."

This sentence not only let Lin Yuan know how rich Vince's family is, but also let him know that not only are there many rich people in this world, but they are also very generous in spending money.

After Lin Yuan said this, the people below were even more shocked than when they heard O'Neill say the book.

Even if the magicians in the past were willing to write their knowledge of magic theory into books, they would never allow it to be spread like this.Even Finol, the "Basics of Elemental Magic" written by him is only allowed to be read by students and teachers of Finol Magic Academy.

But now that there are so many books co-edited by the two great magisters, it was unimaginable in the past.

Their shock hadn't stopped yet, what Lin Yuan said next really left everyone completely speechless.

"One year later, the Royal Library will release 1 paperback copies of "Theory and Basics of Hybrid Magic", priced at 10 gold coins. I believe this price is not high, as long as you are a magician, you can afford it." Lin Yuan laughed Smiling, he thought that he couldn't even get a gold coin some time ago, and it was rare for him to be so poor as a magician. "Five years later, the two great magisters and I will fully open the authorization, that is to say, anyone, any bookseller can print and distribute this book at will. The two great magisters hope that this can make Farino All magic-loving people on the continent can learn the results of their research through this book."

After a pause, Lin Yuan said in a deep voice: "Similarly, I want to remind here that anyone who prints and distributes this book without authorization will be regarded as a pirated copy. If you don't want to face two The anger of a great magister, before pirating, please think more about it."

Of course, Lin Yuan didn't think that this simple threat could completely prevent piracy.Whether it is this world or that world, the problem of piracy cannot be solved. As long as there are interests, there will always be some people who are willing to take risks.He can't let Hawke and Sargeras go around to fight piracy, this is just a conversation.

Before coming here, Lin Yuan knew that the papermaking and printing technology on the mainland of Farinos is still very high-end stuff, without huge financial support, it is not easy to print books.So in this world, if you want to do piracy, although the profit is not small, it is more difficult and easier to trace.

It's just that before this, people on the mainland of Farinos had no awareness of copyright, so Lin Yuan wanted to emphasize it, so that they could be held accountable in the future.

The various new terms that came out of Lin Yuan's mouth made everyone dizzy for a while, and when they understood everything, they discovered an important fact.

"So, even if I don't buy the book in your hand now, I can know the things recorded in this book five years later? Or as long as I am willing to spend 5 gold coins, I can know it in one month?" A man stood up and asked Lin Yuan.

"That's right." Lin Yuan nodded. "If everyone can bear it, the knowledge in this book will not be surprising in five years' time."

"Then why do you dare to auction this thing as a treasure?"

"Because of time." Lin Yuan smiled. "Anyone who knows a little bit about magic knows that what a magician needs most is not money, nor power, nor beauty. What magicians need most is precisely the time that cannot be changed. Whether it is for It takes a lot of time to learn and research magic, or to grow and condense the magic power in the body. All the magicians on the mainland, even if they have the title of genius among geniuses—the Great Magister Fenor 300 years ago, he It also takes a huge amount of time to learn and research magic."

Lin Yuan raised the book and patted it lightly. "Although the knowledge recorded in this book may be known casually after 5 years, or even 1 month later, after all, it is 5 years later and 1 month later, what will happen during these times , none of us are sure. I can only be sure that what the two great magisters have spent so long researching together must be worthy of the people who buy the book. So strictly speaking, I am not actually selling books. It's selling time."

"As for the book I am holding now, it is indeed a treasure, because it is written by two great magisters."

After saying this, Lin Yuan saluted everyone with a smile, and retreated slowly.

When O'Neill announced that the starting price of "The Theory and Fundamentals of Hybrid Magic" written by two other great magisters was 1000 gold coins, Lin Yuan was immediately taken aback.

He never expected that after hearing what he said, the bidders below would still be so enthusiastic.As soon as O'Neill finished speaking, the asking price was doubled several times.

"5000 gold coins!"

"6000!"

"6500..."

……

The shouting sound became less and less, and finally concentrated on two people.Lin Yuan actually recognized one of these two people, Hal Alfonso, the royal chief magician of the Kus Empire.In the entire Kus Empire, apart from Hawke, a great magister who is completely transcendent, Tamofa is the most powerful and has the highest status.It is not surprising that this person would come to buy this book, but what surprised Lin Yuan was how a big man like him would suddenly appear here.

The other person, Lin Yuan, didn't recognize him, nor could he.The man was wrapped in a black cloak, even his head and face were tightly wrapped, as if he was afraid that others would see him.Not to mention Lin Yuan, I am afraid that even the people sitting near him would not recognize him.

The man's voice was deep and hoarse, but his voice was very steady and clear every time he made an offer, which sounded weird in the empty hall.

"10000 gold coins!" Hal shook his hands, and finally shouted out his bottom line.Although he is the royal chief magician of the Kus Empire and enjoys the financial support of the empire, it is impossible for him to spend unlimited money.The 10000 gold coins are already all his savings over the years.

"15000 gold coins!"

That person seemed unwilling to entangle with Hal any longer, and immediately raised the offer by 5000 gold coins.

At this moment, everyone in the audience was taken aback. What is the concept of 15000 gold coins?Based on the Fastian Principality where Natasha is located, this is enough to be worth the annual output value of the entire Principality!
Of course, Natasha's principality is said to be not rich...

Hal stood up startled by the offer at first, but looked at the man, opened his mouth, and finally sat down slumped.

As early as more than ten years ago, Hal had already become a senior magister, only one step away from the great magister.From the perspective of others, it only takes a certain amount of time to take this step.But Hal himself knew that the gap between the senior magister and the grand magister was far from just one level.

Ever since he secretly tried with Hawke Filnasby 5 years ago, he knew that the Grand Magister and the Senior Magister are not at the same level at all. The gap between the two is even comparable to that of a normal adult and a child The gap between them is huge.

Also because of this, he wanted to know more about what the Grand Magister was all about. A little bit more is a little bit, and maybe when he knew enough, he would have a chance to become a Grand Magister.

So he was more excited than anyone else when he heard that the two great magisters, Hawke and Sargeras, had jointly written a book.Although Lin Yuan said that the knowledge in this book can be obtained by spending only 1 gold coins in one month, but he understands that the handwriting of the two great magisters is a completely different matter.Many things that are not clearly explained may be able to get hints from this.So when Lin Yuan retreated, Hal made up his mind to get the book.

But this mysterious man who appeared suddenly shattered his dream. 15000 gold coins, even if his status in the empire is so high, he can't guarantee that the king will agree.

Seeing that Hal gave up, O'Neill began to count down to finalize.

"Okay, in that case, the book "The Theory and Fundamentals of Hybrid Magic" co-edited by the two great magisters belongs to this gentleman."

Lin Yuan didn't care what Hal thought, he only knew that this notebook written by Hawke and Sargeras sold a full 15000 gold coins!

15000 gold coins, for a person who could only invite students to eat at a street stall a few days ago, it is like a mountain of rice suddenly appearing in front of a person who is about to starve to death.

Lin Yuan almost fainted from happiness.
