Master Tongtian

Chapter 115 A serious moral decline! (44)

There is no doubt that Thrandis is a rare magical genius.

She is extremely obsessed with magic and has great enthusiasm for exploring the field of magic.

Anna, in particular, is a natural scholar, with a solitary personality, willing to be lonely, rigorous in her studies yet spiritual, and possessing an indomitable tenacity.

However, mortal inspiration is actually limited and will be restricted by vision, experience, and personality.

As we get older, inspiration will gradually run out. If we keep working behind closed doors, the speed of exhaustion will be greatly accelerated.

In recent years, due to the gradual exhaustion of personal inspiration and the worries of trivial matters in the world, Thrandis's progress in the magic world has actually gradually slowed down.

If it weren't for Rosen to join her and she would have to go it alone, she would probably have completely stagnated by the time she reached the age of twenty-five.

But Rosen appeared, providing her with nearly unlimited magic inspiration.

As a result, both Rosen and she were making rapid progress in their skills.

In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since the war ended.

Early morning breakfast time.

Thrandis suddenly stopped eating and stared at Rosen unblinkingly.

Rosen was spreading salted butter on the wheat bread. When he saw this, he asked curiously: "Teacher, is there something on my face?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at the mirror next to him.

Thrandis shook his head: "No, I just suddenly realized that you have grown a lot taller."

"Growing taller? Oh, I've grown a lot taller."

When he first came to Silvermoon Castle, he was just as tall as Thrandis's shoulders, but in the past three months, he had eaten and drank enough, and O'Lekeya had injected vitality into him some time ago, so his size began to grow wildly.

Especially in the past month, it has grown by nearly one centimeter in a short period of time, like a bamboo shoot.

Currently, the tip of his head is level with Thrandis' lower auricle.

Thrandis said: "My previous clothes no longer fit, and whether you are a formal mage or a knight, you have to be decent. Therefore, you have to change your clothes in time according to your height, and buy a few more sets."

Rosen didn't care: "I basically don't socialize. It's enough to buy a spare set. Buying too much is a waste."

Decent clothes are very expensive, and you have to go to a tailor shop to tailor them. A set costs at least 15 kronor, which is just high quality.

Thrandis narrowed his eyes and smiled: "As a divine seal mage and a knight, basic social interaction cannot be avoided. This money cannot be saved, and at least three different sets of clothes are required."

In this case, Rosen agreed.

After eating a few mouthfuls of bread, he continued: "Teacher, what are your plans for Liushu? Will you publish it or hide it?"

Thrandis thought carefully and shook his head: "To be honest, the results this time are amazing and beyond my experience. I don't know what to do. What do you think?"

Rosen really thought about it.

"I think it should be divided into two parts. One part is just the flow. The other part is the results of the application of the spell."

"Publishing the calculations can gain us a huge reputation. It can also greatly improve the mathematical level of Huangshui Highlands and even the entire Golden Land, and greatly promote the development of magic."

Now that the power of the Golden God is declining, it can be expected that things like the invasion of the ice dwarves and the King of Neverwinter will happen more often in the future.

Since the Golden God has obviously reduced its interference in mortal affairs, it can only be resolved by mortals themselves.

Therefore, improving the average magic power of the Golden Land is something that is beneficial to everyone.

Another important consideration is that the Golden Land itself is at a point where calculus is about to appear.

Maybe one day a great person will appear and publish calculus, taking away the right to invent it.

At that time, the huge reputation and fame will belong to others, and it will be a huge loss.

Therefore, this fame must be realized as soon as possible before it expires.

Since Rosen said this, Thrandis nodded in agreement and asked: "What about the results of the application of the spell?"

"You can't keep it in your hands, but you must maximize the benefits. For example, bypass the mage guild and find a rich mage to buy and sell alone."

Thrandis thought about it carefully: "This seems to violate the rules of the Mage Guild."

Rosen chuckled: "It's actually a separate business, but externally it's just a spell exchange. The guild doesn't prohibit the exchange of spells between mages, right?"

"In addition, we use the best and most powerful version for our own use, and only sell the ordinary version with castrated performance."

"Castration. Haha, it's up to you."

After thinking about it, Thrandis said: "This paper is very important. It is an absolutely groundbreaking achievement. We must choose an important day to submit it."

"What important day is it?"

"For example, the annual Flower Society is about a month away from today and lasts for three days. At that time, mages from the entire Huangshui Highlands will come to participate."

"We just happened to take advantage of this period to check for omissions and fill in the gaps to thoroughly improve the paper."

"Then just do as the instructor says."

After breakfast, Rosen was about to take a walk in the yard, but Thrandis called him to stop him.

"Today I will teach you how to get started in the upper class."

"What is it?" Rosen became interested.

"Dancing. Mainly couples' ballroom dancing."

"There are three-step dances for beginners, four-step dances with medium difficulty, and bee steps, flower steps, etc. that require long-term training and the cooperation of an excellent dance partner."

"Normally, it's one man and one woman. But in special cases, there are two men or two women. The latter two are not more common."

Rosen suddenly lost interest: "Teacher, I think it's useless to learn this."

Thrandis forcibly pulled Rosen to the flower hall on the second floor: "No, it's of no use to me, but it's useful to you."

"Prom is one of the most frequent activities in high society. As your reputation gradually increases, many people will definitely invite you to the dance."

"When the time comes, if a girl invites you to dance, but you are just like a piece of wood, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?"

"What a waste of time. I don't have to participate."

"Then you will be isolated from the circle and become a marginalized person."

Thrandis had already grabbed both of Rosen's hands, urging him with a smile.

"Okay, now learn from me. Even if you don't go to the dance, you can dance at home with the instructor."

"It's both entertainment and good for physical fitness, isn't it?"

This is also true.

Whether you're walking or dancing, you can keep fit, and dancing is a little more fun.

After eliminating his psychological resistance, Rosen began to study seriously with Thrandis.

While I was studying seriously, the maid's voice came from the living room on the first floor: "Madam, sir, there is a guest named Harrick outside the door."

Rosen patted his head: "Uncle Harrick, ah~ I haven't been to the studio for a while. He must be impatient."

In the past month, he had truly turned a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window, and had simply forgotten all the trivial matters of the world.

But the world cannot be forgotten, otherwise it will definitely announce its existence to you in its own way.

For example, an increasingly empty wallet is a reminder that cannot be ignored.

"Invite him in quickly."

Rosen straightened his somewhat messy collar and hair: "Teacher, do you want to come with us?"

Thrandis shook his head: "I'm too lazy to change into formal clothes to meet guests, so I won't go to see you. You can say hello to Harik for me."

Rosen was not surprised because Anna had such a withdrawn character. Except for him, he never bothered to say a word to anyone else.

When he arrived at the living room, he saw the red-haired Harik already waiting.

After seeing Rosen, he felt a little embarrassed and subconsciously lowered his head to salute and said, "Sir."

Rosen took a quick step and grabbed his arm: "Uncle Harrick, what are you doing? Come on, come on, sit down."

"Lisa~Lisa~ bring two cups of hot tea and a plate of desserts."

Seeing that Rosen hadn't changed at all, Harrick let go.

He sat down on the chair and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, you would become an official mage and have your own territory."

Rosen spread his hands and said with emotion: "I risked my life, but I almost died without a whole body."

"Right."

Harrick reached out and took the hot tea handed over by the maid. After taking a few sips, he said, "So, will the studio continue to open?"

Rosen nodded: "I want to open it. My expenses here are quite high. The income from the territory is only 300 crowns a year, which can only allow me to maintain basic dignity. If I want to make progress, it is still far from enough."

A knight can eat and drink without worries, but if he wants to eat well, use good clothes, and wear good clothes every day, especially if he has to buy spells and treatises, and build various magic weapons, there will be a huge income gap.

In particular, the Earl also gave the "Advanced Meditation Assistance Secret Technique". Among them, the resonance chamber with the greatest effect has not been built yet.

This is also a significant expense.

Although a large amount of money was made through moonstone, sitting on nothing is not a long-term solution.

In short, it is still necessary to have stable income.

But Rosen was a little worried: "However, now that I am a divine seal mage, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue painting beauties."

Painting itself was also taking up time. He had been planning to find a sheep herding business.

It's just that the magic is so charming that it pulls him away and won't let him go, so he hasn't started to act yet.

As soon as Rosen talked about this, Harrick laughed: "Rosen, do you know why I didn't come to you until today?"

"why?"

Harrick took out a palm-sized piece of blue and gold paper from his pocket and said, "Read it yourself."

Rosen took it and took a closer look.

Blue gold paper, one of the most expensive paper materials, is an alchemical product. It is waterproof, oil-proof, fold-proof and tear-proof. It is generally used to record important information, such as various contracts.

But there were three big characters written in the middle of the paper in front of me.

‘Confession Ticket’

Below the font is the divine seal of the golden god with a circle outside and a triangle inside. There are a few words written below the seal.

‘The Golden God is a tolerant God, a merciful God, and a God who dares to look directly at the cruel reality. ’

‘God hopes that his people will be morally high, but he does not require believers in the world to have perfect character immediately, and he can also be considerate of some imperfections in the moral character of believers. ’

‘But everything has a price. If a believer cannot control his desires and makes a mistake, he must confess his sins to God. ’

After reading it, Rosen already understood a little bit.

"How much is the confession fee for such a piece of paper? How many times can I confess?"

Harrick chuckled: "With a 10-kronor card, you can repent of a serious moral decline. Or ten minor moral flaws. But we don't have to pay for it, the buyer will bear it."

"For example, this one is Mr. Rust's confession ticket, used to confess a serious moral decline."

Rosen was convinced: "There are indulgence coupons on earth, but there are confession coupons here." It's the same on both sides. The moral iron fist is all on the common people and has nothing to do with the upper class. ’

He was also a little curious as to what request Rust made this time, so much so that he had to describe it as a 'moral decline'.

At this time, Harrick took out a bulging money bag from his pocket.

"You are now a knight, and your studio is famous, so I lower the share to half. What do you think?"

Rosen thought for a moment and felt that Uncle Harrick was a very rare and good helper, so he said: "Uncle, you haven't gotten married yet, and you also need money. You can divide it into 20%, and then reduce Uncle Shabolai to 10%. "

Harrick shook his head and insisted: "No, no, as long as it's half a percent, I'll be very satisfied. As for Xia Bolay, 10 percent is enough for him."

In this case, Rosen did not insist.

Harrick pointed to the money bag again: "Mr. Rust gave a total fee of 300 crowns, here is 255 crowns, this is what he requested."

Rosen was shocked again: "Why is he willing to give so much money?"

The price has increased nearly five times.

Harrick explained carefully: "There are two reasons. First, your status is higher. Second, you draw less. No one in Silver Moon Castle has your ability. In fact, many distinguished gentlemen are interested. Looking for you to draw."

Rosen's heart moved: "Tsk, this is indeed a status society. With a higher status, you can earn five times the money for the same job."

"If this is the case, then the painting business can continue."

Earning 255 crowns per painting, painting five paintings a month does not require much time and energy, but can net a net profit of more than 1,200 crowns.

That's more than 10,000 a year, which is enough to maintain a very decent life. Many low- and medium-end magic materials can also be used without hesitation.

Thinking of this, Rosen immediately became interested and was too lazy to explore other ways to make money.

"What is Sir Rust's request?"

Harrick took out a piece of paper and handed it to Luo

Sen.

Rosen was curious, so he immediately took it and took a closer look, only to see what was written on it.

‘My life is so perfect that it’s boring. I may have been bewitched by the devil recently. I suddenly want to taste the pain of being betrayed by a loved one, but I don’t want to really bear the price of betrayal. Can you help me, Master Rosen? ’

Rosen was shocked: "Uncle Harrick, this is indeed a serious moral decline!"

Harrick sighed deeply: "When facing these superior gentlemen, I always feel that either they are crazy or I am crazy."

‘Brush~’

Harrick took out a charcoal drawing, which was very good. On it was a middle-aged lady with a dignified expression, beautiful features, wearing a well-fitting silver silk dress, and covered with jewels.

"This is Mr. Rust's true love, his wife of 20 years."

Rosen was shocked again: "The difficulty is a bit high now,"

He can only print, not hack.

This is how to do?

I can easily earn 255 crowns per painting. It’s really painful not to make this money!

After being reminded by a book friend, Lao Mo, who was worried about the car overturning, decided to apply the brakes and slow down the car.

But, the car still has to drive!

As a middle-aged person, I feel uncomfortable if I don’t drive just because of this hobby.
