Mage? Spell Engineer!

Chapter 7 Save money with reverse thinking

Rorschach took the letter of introduction written by Teacher Caroline and walked out of the office.

He still owed a favor. As for Teacher Caroline, Rorschach was not that resistant. This teacher had taken great care of the original owner before, and he felt a different kind of kindness when he met her.

The last few days he stayed in the academy were completely idle. Rorschach had a good drink with Bart and Richard. Rorschach came to a major conclusion - except for sausages, the Empire's snacks were tuber foods similar to potatoes. Due to the lack of spices, the taste was not as good as those in the previous life.

Apart from magic, what Rorschach currently likes most is the environment of Fort Diane. The castle and surrounding woodland occupy nearly half of Queens. Diane was the moon goddess during the barbaric tribes of this land. After the establishment of the old empire, she fell into a deep sleep and no longer responded to her followers. But she was deeply embedded in the culture of the northern part of the empire as the goddess of the moon and the hunt. It can be seen from the name of Fort Diane that it was a hunting palace built by the old Archduke William. The Queens District of the Imperial Capital did not exist when it was built.

Then it was donated by young Duke William. Could it be that this young man has left a shadow of his childhood in the castle, so he simply doesn’t want it anymore? Rorschach walked in the corridor lined with armors, passing paintings depicting the history of the empire and mages - it was confirmed that the characters in them would not move, which was a pity.

With this distorted tourist mentality, Rorschach spent his short time in the academy. During this period, the chairman gave a speech to all the new mages who passed the examination.

"Today you are proud of the empire and the academy, and tomorrow the empire and the academy will be proud of you!"

"Humph" was Bart's disdainful nasal sound.

"Pfft" At the same time, Rorschach could not help but sneer.

In addition, the content of the speech was lackluster, which made Rorschach deeply realize that some things cannot be changed by magic. Standing in the atrium of Ruixia, sweating in his official mage's robe, Rorschach almost wanted to give the speaker a purple quality fireball.

What kind of first-person open world shit is this that can't skip the plot?

After receiving the offer from Tower of Stars, Sabins found Rorschach again.

"This is the first payment, and there are twelve more to be remitted to your parents." The chief of discipline first took out twelve gold coins, and then took out thirty silver coins. "These silver coins will be used on the road. Don't spend gold coins easily before arriving at the royal capital. It will cause you trouble."

"Got it." Rorschach took the money and first bagged the gold coins and stored them in a storage ring - a gift given by Bart before leaving. According to his own statement, it was to express Rorschach's wish that he not fail the exam in four years. gratitude. The remaining silver coins were put into his pocket and covered under the mage's robe. "The benefits of our organization are pretty good."

"Your Majesty will not treat talents badly." The chief of discipline showed an unnatural smile: "Especially useful and loyal talents."

Rorschach only collects money, regardless of whether the boss hands out carrots or sticks.

"I think it's too easy for you to trust me, sir."

"It's not easy. We know you well. We started to know you and pay attention to you before you entered school... Of course, the organization pays attention to many children, but very few can become qualified spell casters. So you are worth the price, Master Rorschach."

"Okay sir."

Sabins also taught Rorschach how to contact emergency agencies in the Holy Kingdom, and what emergencies are, including but not limited to the Holy Kingdom declaring war on the Empire, the Holy Kingdom's dwarf king passing away, and the Magic Guild convening a meeting of elders...

With the funds, Rorschach can take an aerospace boat reinforced by a magic circle and maintained by a low-level mage, and reach the capital of the Holy Kingdom in as little as a week.

However, the Tower of Stars considerately gave him a two-month time limit, as long as he reported before winter. In addition, Rorschach does not have much money, so he may still have to spend money when he gets to the royal capital.

“This is when reverse thinking is needed.”

Rorschach walked into the Adventurers Association with his head held high.

Taking the same route, as a passenger, you need to pay others; to become a mage guard in the caravan, others have to pay for you.

Even if the relationship between the two largest and richest countries on the continent is somewhat tense, there will always be frequent trade as long as it does not lead to war. Luo Xia looked at the recruitment column, and there was indeed no shortage of caravans who needed to go to the royal capital to recruit bodyguards.

Most of the commissions on the recruitment column were escort missions, and a small number of teams were formed to go on adventures and investigations. For example, the archaeological team of Monich University summoned investigators to explore the mountain ruins... Rorschach suddenly felt that such a team had a near-death chance of going crazy.

Generally speaking, the Adventurer Association is a talent market, and the people who come are all the old men who have the strength to do part-time work. Most of the team members are gold-finding captains from other worlds who like to call the tombs of ancient nobles and archmage relics.

"Welcome! This is your first time to visit the Adventurers Association." Although the young man who entered the door was only seventeen or eighteen years old, he looked around like a rookie as soon as he came in. But who asked him to wear the robe of the Imperial Academy of Magic? The receptionist did not dare to neglect and greeted me with a business smile.

"Are you the client or do you intend to accept the client?"

"I'm here to take over the escort mission."

The receptionist first asked Rorschach to fill in his name, age and country of origin, and then checked the Empire Spellcaster Certificate and the first-level mage badge issued by the Magic Guild - the former was a stamped steel piece with a special pattern, and the latter was with Luo Xia. The mithril badge bound to Xia.

Rorschach took off his badge, which had nine node magic circuits engraved on it. He injected magic into the nodes in a sequence only he knew, and the badge immediately lit up with a blue arc. The first to third levels are blue, the fourth to sixth levels are purple, and the upper third level is deep red. This is also considered a clever encrypted ID card.

"Junior mages (levels one to three) are equivalent to silver-level adventurers. This is a task you can take." The receptionist specially took down a few recruitment letters. This is a treatment that other silver-level adventurers do not have. It is also a great convenience to skip the iron level where you can only continue to receive small commissions.

Anyone who can cast spells is a master, no matter what!

"I only accept the escort mission from Imperial Capital to Valuana, the capital of the Holy Kingdom."

"This route is relatively long, and the goods to be escorted are generally valuable. There are not many commissions that silver-level adventurers can accept. Let me help you find them..."

In the end, Rorschach chose a suitable task: escorting a batch of fur and leather goods made from the best craftsmen in the Black Forest and the Imperial Capital to the capital of the Holy Kingdom within a month.

Needing to contact the employer, the receptionist first invited Rorschach to the reception room on the second floor of the guild - a place where only gold-level adventurers could stay, but Rorschach had the "I am the Master" buff and was automatically upgraded.

The employer is a middle-aged man dressed as a deacon. From his mustache to his shiny leather boots, everything has been carefully maintained. Corresponding to the fit and exquisiteness of his clothes, his movements represent propriety and elegance.

The representative of the Lowe Chamber of Commerce summoned all interested adventurers to the guild's training ground to question and test their abilities.
