Chapter 27: Trade again
Yesterday, he did not know the price of a questioning opportunity in the Mage Tower, but today after some unspoken rules in the Arcane Garden, he also understood the preciousness of the questioning opportunity.
I don’t need to work for a month, I only need to ask a question once. If calculated by Xia Duo’s salary, a question is worth 3 gold coins.
But the time gained by not working can be used to do your own things. Obviously, if you count these, the value of a question is far more than 3 gold coins. It is impossible for Chateau to ask questions for Dean every day. The service provided by Dean Not worth it.
Therefore, it is necessary to re-agree on the transaction content or change the transaction partner.
But since I missed it, Xia Duo didn't plan to chase to the library to say, after all, seller's market, you can mention it anytime.
I still have to hurry up to sort out the dictionary, so that I can use the qualification to ask questions to make more preparations in my initial stage, at least basic consumables such as pen, ink and paper are indispensable.
Now there is a whole book of "Proverbs". Xia Duo first sorted out the words starting with the first two letters in the first half, and then sorted out the words starting with the third letter.
The time that he devoted himself to went by quite quickly, when Xia Duo sorted out the sixth letter, the "lights were turned off" and the dormitory was plunged into darkness.
It's 9 o'clock, and Xia Duo still has more than half of the letters unsorted, but Xia Duo believes that as she becomes more familiar with Proverbs, the progress will be faster and faster.
……
The next day, Xia Duo woke up before the "wake-up lamp" like yesterday, using the faint light to memorize for a while the phonetic symbols and paraphrases of Nise language words.
When it arrives at 5 o'clock, he immediately goes out and heads to the restaurant on the first floor to get breakfast. Then there is no need to wait for the steward to arrange work like yesterday, just go directly to the Arcane Garden.
But because of the unspoken rules, Xia Duo just showed up in front of the steward of the Arcane Garden and moved on her own.
Because Dean gave him the notes of the transcript of "Proverbs" last night, Chateau did not choose to memorize the words, but planned to sort out all the simple dictionary first, and then directly memorize it by reading.
The efficiency of memorizing words alone is not high, and Xia Duo has noticed it in the past two days, but in the case of insufficient conditions, he does not want to waste time.
Throughout the morning, Xia Duo was sorting out his small dictionary of literacy tools, but it was a pity that the six parchment papers were not used at all. Except for the blanks left for phonetic symbols and paraphrases, the rest was almost filled.
Of course, Chateau, who only had 5 silver coins on him, couldn't afford a blank note, so he could only think of a way to ask questions. So he found Sammy who was reading by the river.
Xia Duo did not conceal the fact that he was learning words, but straightforwardly said, "Sami, you are sorry to disturb you, but I have to ask you for advice."
"What's the matter?" Although Sami was dissatisfied that Xia Duo interrupted his thoughts, he did not refuse.
"I want to know how much ordinary apprentices will pay in exchange for a chance to ask questions, if you use gold coins."
Sammy suddenly laughed, "The same thing has different values from different people. If you want, I'm willing to pay 15 gold coins every time you ask questions. It is usually difficult for ordinary apprentices to give it directly. 15 gold coins."
15 gold coins can buy a 100-page blank note. What Xia Duo needs to pay is just an opportunity to ask questions. According to this calculation, Xia Duo can earn 450 gold coins in one month!
However, this is at the expense of Xia Duo's own learning progress. It may be possible in the early stage. Later, you may need to ask other people to trade and ask questions!
Xia Duo thought about it, and felt that it was okay to trade with Sami, so he agreed directly.
However, Sammy said again: "I want to ask questions about the specific courses of a few specific mages. You must go to the research rooms of those mages to attend classes and you can ask questions after the course is over."
As soon as he heard this, Xia Duo frowned. According to what Sammy said, his enlightenment class could not be taken, and he could not understand the formal mage class. The price was a bit high.
Chateau told Sami that he was receiving magic enlightenment, and Sami smiled knowingly, "We can come this way, I can give you enlightenment classes in the morning, and in the afternoon you can help me with questions, every time you ask a question , I will pay you 5 gold coins."
is equivalent to 10 gold coins for the enlightenment class. It is still a separate tutoring, but Xia Duo gave it up after thinking about it carefully.
Compared to Sami, Chateau is still more willing to believe in the enlightenment classes provided by the Wizard Tower. Moreover, if the transaction is interrupted only a few times, then the enlightenment class is interrupted, and Gardner will not repeat the classes. determine.
seems to take advantage, but in fact it is very likely to suffer a big loss and complicate matters.
"Sami, I think this is too much trouble. I don’t think so. I go to class at my own pace, but at the same time I can sell my own questioning opportunities. The subject of the question in the last week is the apprentice Gardner. Please help me contact someone you know. Anyone who needs to ask Garnar a question, I don’t care how much you charge, I only charge you 5 gold coins each time."
The biggest problem facing Chateau right now-in fact, in the final analysis, there is no money!
If he has a lot of gold coins, he can even hire an official mage to give him tutoring. Literacy is not a problem, and some magical magic can make him learn color-resistant common language instantly.
There are ways to play where there is money, and there are ways to play when there is no money. But Xia Duo didn't want to spend too much time worrying about whether he suffered a loss. He wanted to obtain some basic learning resources as quickly as possible.
It’s like this morning~www.readwn.com~ The parchment is not enough, and the dictionary can’t be sorted anymore. This waste of time is the most shameful.
Time is the greatest wealth. He is now 24 years old, and Sammy in front of him is only 18 years old. He is already behind, how can he not catch up.
At the moment, the only thing he can use is the qualification to ask questions. He may have a lot of questions to ask when he is undergoing enlightenment, but in fact it does not involve learning progress at all, and more is to satisfy his own curiosity.
The best solution for Xia Duo is to exchange qualifications for questions for resources and time.
Sami listened to Chateau’s words and was silent for a while. It seemed that he heard Chateau’s subtext, and then agreed, "Yes, I will contact an apprentice for you, or you can call a merchant. He has already given up on the path of magic. , But concentrate on managing the integration of resources among apprentices. I think you may have many opportunities to contact him in the future."
"Thank you."
"Don't thank me, I will introduce you to him, and I will get a lot of money." Sammy's tone was very flat.
Obviously, if Xia Duo can't ask questions for herself, Sami is not willing to waste time being a middleman, but directly introduces a middleman to Xia Duo.
……
During the rest of the morning, Xia Duo couldn't continue to organize the dictionary, and could only memorize some of the pronunciations and interpretations that had been organized before, and it continued until noon.
The mage pays attention to efficiency, and the apprentice is no exception. Chateau and Sami hurriedly settled the lunch, and then went to the library floor together.
The "merchant apprentice" they were going to see rented a copying room on the library floor for a long time to run his intermediary business. It was only Xia Duo who entered the mage tower for two days, otherwise he would know this sooner or later. The title of "merchant apprentice".
