Survive the Fourth Natural Disaster
Vol 2 Chapter 24: Earl Stirr's Careful Machine
Regarding Ellie's cautious temptation, Hill did not hesitate, and directly pointed out his reluctance: "There is no need to spend money on things you don't need.
Mithril, which can be replaced by other materials, does not have the value to make me pay such a high 'price' to use it as a reserve material. "
It is impossible for Hill to accept a gift of this level from the Steer family... Although he wanted to find a suitable reason to take over the job of teaching Ellie naturally, he only wanted to be a temporary worker who could leave at any time , rather than contract workers who sign the agreement.
Especially... this salary... instantly reminded him of a certain national currency that was worth less than Ming coins.
It looks like a lot, but it's actually useless.
Hill resolutely refused, and Ellie sighed silently... Really, if there were not many mid-level and high-level alchemists who came today, she would have thought that this piece of mithril was really meaningless!
Mr. Belferran is really determined.
As the contact time got longer, Ellie could see more and more that Mr. Belferan was really a decent person.
Even though the idiot Lucimar from the Ismail family always tried to destroy the relationship between Mr. Belferran and the Stahl family and said bad things about her every day, Mr. Belferran didn't intend to believe him at all.
No, it should be said that even if Mr. Belferan gave in a little to the Ismail family, he would not change his course of action because of the pressure of the great sage.
And Mr. Belferran's knowledge is really profound... Ellie originally thought that she had a detailed understanding of various materials, but after Mr. Belferran asked her, he would occasionally mention some things that she probably thought she had missed. The loss of common sense made her deeply feel her ignorance.
Sure enough, there is no formal and systematic teaching for alchemists, and no comprehensive reference book will do.
However, it is not an easy task to tempt this earth warlock!
Ellie couldn't help staring at the auction hall, thinking about what else was there, which was worth a look at Mr. Belferan.
Now it seems that no matter how rare the material is, no matter how expensive the price is, it is meaningless. The other party is not willing to let desire dominate his life.
The only thing that can tempt Mr. Belferran is some fresh knowledge... Ellie won't believe that Belferran really doesn't want this piece of mithril.
How could there be an alchemist who doesn't use Mithril?
Even if there is an alloy that can replace the existence of Mithril, but the difference between weight and quality, even if Ellie has not officially become an alchemist, she will not be unaware.
Ellie frowned and looked towards the hall, then she was slightly startled: "Ah~ someone from the capital is here too!
The auction list was finalized seven days ago... Did this come here with spar carts day and night?
Ah, that would burn a lot of energy!
It is estimated that it is just useful, right? Otherwise, how could you pay such a high price. "
His eyes moved slightly... The Steer family's auction that lasted for half a month had confirmed the lot very early, and this piece of mithril sent from the ore town thousands of miles away where Earl Steer was stationed, There must be some specific goal.
In other words, if it wasn't for Hill's unexpected appearance, Earl Stell would have made the best preparations for his daughter's studies.
But although this person is likely to accept Mithril, it is very likely that he will not seriously teach Ellie... Alchemists are very proficient in the method of accepting money but not getting things done.
Throwing a complex rune that a low-level mage can't remember at all can delay the agreed time.
Hill glanced at the dusty old mage: "Who is this?"
"There are a total of three alchemy towers in the capital, except for the great sage Ismail who is only the honorary president of the Alchemy Association, the other two happen to be one in front and one in the other.
This is the vice president, Nestor Delgado, a level 12 mage who is good at fire magic and making metal magic items. "
"The relationship between him and the president is not... very good?"
"It's not just the president Guy Finch, even the great sage Ismail doesn't have a good relationship with him." One side of Ellie's mouth turned slightly downwards, and her eyes rolled over intelligently. With inconspicuous white eyes, "Here, you are notoriously expensive.
For the same thing, if you ask him to make it, you will have to pay at least double the price.
In the words of the sage Delgado... When you ask a sage to make something for you, you should understand that you have to pay a greater price for the sage's time.
However, even Mr. Finch, who was only one step away from becoming a great sage, disagreed with his approach.
It's a pity that his alchemy is really good. "
"Has he no pupils?"
"Only apprentices, or students who are taught temporarily... are charged monthly, not yearly."
Ellie suddenly came to her senses...Since the arrival of Mr. Belferran was an accident, since the Earl did not want her to marry, and the Alchemy Association wanted to suppress the Steer family from entering their ranks, it was the only one who died. Vice President Delgado, who wanted money, might be willing to take the risk of offending the President of the Alchemy Association and a group of elders and temporarily serve as her teacher for a few years.
As for the tuition fees... Isn't this the Mithril mine that might be worth the 20 years' income of the Steer family?
No wonder, her brother Dieter never liked to leave the barracks, and this time he went to the ore town to find the source himself!
For many ore merchants, there are good things, but selling them...the risk is too great.
It is the norm to make money if you have a life, but to spend a life without a life.
Moreover, the military right next to it would not just sit back and watch a wealthy man appear beside him without taking a share of the pie.
After all, without the protection of the military, this small town cannot survive under the hands of the so-called 'desert bandits'.
Ellie lowered her head slightly to hide the red corners of her eyes... Although the Earl has been saying that after Ellie has been fully cultivated by the family, she has to protect the family for the rest of her life.
However, an official mage can only live for 200 years.
Even if Ellie's talent is not bad and she successfully advances to the middle class, it will be at most 350 years.
Warriors age faster than mages, but as a high-ranking warrior, Earl can live at least another 200 years!
Besides, her brother Dieter can advance to the mid-level fighter.
The benefits gained from cultivating Ellie are definitely not as much as the Earl claimed.
Ellie smiled happily and warmly... No wonder the Earl told her directly yesterday that this piece of mithril can be taken out and hired Archmage Belferran to let Ellie test the other party's thinking a little bit.
After all, in the past few days, everyone can see the land warlock's appreciation for Ellie.
Ellie's occasional questions related to various materials have also been answered in great detail.
It seems that it is just a step away... The Steer family understands the other party's hesitation very well, so they have been thinking of a reason that can make the other party justified.
After all, this is to tear the face off with the Alchemy Association.
It's a pity that a good character can sometimes be a bit troublesome.
Although she was flatly rejected, Ellie felt a little rejoicing... At least, she didn't have to follow behind that famous greedy and lecherous old man!
Ellie still trusts her own wrist and the earl's deterrent power, but sometimes, she can embarrass a girl without doing anything, just using her eyes.
However, can she turn against her teacher because of that look?
Even though he might not teach her seriously?
etc!
Ellie suddenly realized, didn't this...didn't the Archmage Belferan discover that Delgado was the teacher chosen by the Stahl family for her?
Then they quickly changed their target after discovering Belferran... Today they even tried to give Belferran the mithril they planned to use to seduce Delgado!
Although Mr. Belferran has always been broad-minded, but... faced with this situation, he should be unhappy, right?
Ellie frowned and sighed: "Although I am very touched by the love of my father and brother, but... if it is the choice of the sage Delgado, then it is no wonder that my mother thinks that I might as well marry out." Woolen cloth!
Father and elder brother probably can't understand, girls don't want to have...such...teacher's thoughts, right? "
Hill tilted his head, and quickly understood the meaning of Ellie's words... That Delgado was sitting in his box, and without closing the single-sided visible glass window in front of the box, he stuffed his hand into it. I saw the robe of the female apprentice next to me... The girl was wearing an old-fashioned robe with big sleeves, and Delgado's hands were stuffed in the sleeves.
Even though he felt it in all directions, and even from the surprised people in the hall below, the female apprentice's delicate face was calm, obviously she was used to it.
Ellie's eyes went dark: "This...fortunately, Barcia doesn't have a mage and still wears the mage robe from before!"
Then she muttered softly: "Father, I guess I don't know that his **** is completely different from Barcia's!
Men... are really unreliable. "
If at the beginning she just wanted to belittle Delgado's character in front of Hill, now she is really thankful from the bottom of her heart.
Maybe the Earl felt that anyway, if the old guy was allowed to stay in Barcia, no one would think Ellie would be taken advantage of.
But... Watching such a drama every day is too exciting for an innocent girl ~www.readwn.com~!
Ellie's eyes straightened a little.
Hill silently glanced at the obviously irritated girl.
He didn't think the Earl didn't know the old man's virtues... the Earl just didn't care.
He obviously didn't intend to let Ellie marry off, so this made her feel more and more that men are not good things, what's wrong?
When facing any man, if Ellie looks at it with scrutiny... then even if there is someone who can win her daughter's heart in the end, there probably won't be any problems.
As for Ellie, if she gets too excited, she ends up playing with her life... Anyway, she is playing with someone else, so how could the earl care?
Well thought out, really Tang style.
