Chapter 19: Black Iron Mage, Exchange Skills 1
After waiting at home for the butler to return, instruct him something, and rest for the night, Donald set out again.
When we arrived at Boulder, it was already the morning of the second day. In order not to expose the ability of his spatial imprint, Donald rented a total of three carriages to carry all the monster corpses and transport them to Boulder City.
Originally, Donald planned to go directly to the auction house, but thinking of the careful guidance of Mr. Messer last time, and the help of the teacher when he came to the Boulder City Mage Club to verify his identity, Donald decided to give a fifth-level demonic beast to the teacher as an apprentice's thanks.
So, the coachman turned around and came to the door of the mage's clubhouse.
The coachmen couldn't enter the clubhouse, so Donald arranged for them to guard the carriage, and then walked into the gate of the clubhouse alone carrying the corpse of a fifth-level demonic beast.
The receptionist in the front room was still William's attendant.
Seeing Donald again, William warmly stepped forward to receive him.
"I have a gift for Mr. Messer, I wonder if the teacher is in the clubhouse?"
"It's a coincidence that Lord Knight has arrived, Master Messer has just returned from outside, and I'll report to you!"
Donald handed out a silver moon and said, "Thank you, William!"
William took the reward and thanked him respectfully, and turned to enter the clubhouse.
After a while, Master Messer, who had not been seen for a few days, came out to meet Donald himself.
"The teacher actually came to see me in person, but it was Donald who was rude!"
The old mage waved his hand and said indifferently: "Among mages, there are not so many vain courtesies among nobles, I also heard about your competition with Snow Mage, and I only knew that you are a rare summoner! You gave me a big surprise! You are now the only summoner in our North County, and you have defeated a third-level mage in the apprenticeship stage, and many mages in the club are waiting for the opportunity to get to know you!"
Donald was a little embarrassed when he heard this, opened the burden in his hand and said:
"It's just a fluke, I didn't tell the teacher last time, because I didn't understand the difference between a summoner and an ordinary mage, or the teacher instructed me to read the books in the club, and I didn't know that I had awakened the talent of a summoner after I went back! This monster is a gift to the teacher that I personally hunted, in order to thank the teacher for his help and teaching!"
Messer glanced at the corpse of the demonic beast and said with some surprise:
"This is a fifth-level Demonic Beast Sloth Bear, have you reached this level? What a genius! It seems that the way I taught you before should be changed somewhat!"
Then he continued: "Warcraft materials are very important to mages, and they have always been scarce materials. I'll take it this time, and next time you still have a demonic beast corpse, whether it's a crystal nucleus or a beast bone and blood and other materials, the mages of the clubhouse will be happy to buy it at the market price. ”
When Donald heard this, his heart moved, and he asked:
"Did the clubhouse also buy Warcraft materials? I thought only those merchants would buy these!"
Messer smiled and said, "A large part of the materials purchased by those merchants also went to the mage!"
"Wouldn't that cost a lot more?"
Faced with Donald's doubts, the old mage explained:
"Mages are not poor, and for mages who are in dire need of materials, especially alchemists, spending an extra amount of gold to buy materials from merchants also saves a lot of time. It's worth it!"
After digesting these words, Donald bowed to the old mage and raised his hand to invite:
"In that case, I have a business to do with the mages in the club!
The old mage followed Donald out of the gate of the club with some doubts, saw the three wagons in front of the door, and felt the strong smell of blood, the old mage couldn't help but ask:
"Is it all ...... here?"
"Exactly!" replied Donald with a smile:
"I captured a lot of demonic beasts this time, most of them are level three and fourth, the crystal nucleus was dug up because it was useful for my summoning spells, and the remaining complete corpses were originally intended to be sold to the auction house, but I heard that the mages in the club need demonic beast materials, so I am willing to sell them to the mages at a price one percent lower than the market price!"
When the old mage heard this, he was very appreciative of Donald's approach, but he said, "There is no need for a low price, the mages are not short of those kinsols, and the market price is already much cheaper than buying from the merchants!
Under the curious eyes of Donald and the shocked eyes of the coachmen, the old mage waved his staff, and saw the doors of the three carriages open on their own, and the corpses of demonic beasts flew out one after another, gathered in mid-air, and then entered the guild through the outer barrier.
Donald knew that this was the effect of Messer using his powerful mental power with the hand of a simple first-level spell mage.
The two spells of the mage's hand and the mage trick are also spells that use mental power to manipulate objects, but compared to the zero-level mage trick that can only move some dust, feathers, small stones and other lightweight objects, the first-level mage hand can generally reach the level of grabbing dozens of kilograms of heavy objects.
However, only a high-level mage like Messer who is only one step away from reaching the strength of a high-level mage, with the help of strong spiritual power, can easily cast the hands of several mages at a time and move these three-cart demonic beast corpses that add up to hundreds of kilograms.
After doing this, the old mage was not tired in the slightest, his face was still relaxed, Donald admired it very much, stepped forward to compliment a few words, and returned to the clubhouse with the old mage smiling, leaving only the three stunned coachmen stunned.
As the host of the Boulder City Clubhouse and the most powerful mage, Messer gave the order, and all the mages who received the notice came to the clubhouse meeting hall. Even a few mages who were elsewhere in Boulder City were summoned and quickly rushed back here.
Seeing that the people were almost there, the old mage stood up from his seat at the top.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there are two things to announce today!"
As he spoke, he pointed to Donald, who was beside him, and said:
"The first thing is to let everyone know my apprentice Donald Melinner, he is the only summoner in North County that has been rumored recently, because the strength of Melina's apprentice has reached the level of more than a third-level mage, so everyone should give him a courtesy that matches his strength, and don't be as condescending as an ordinary apprentice!"
"I've seen all the masters!"
When the old mage mentioned his name, Donald quickly stood up, thinking about the standard mage salute performed by all the mages in the hall.
Then he stood up straight, his eyes unflinching to meet the scrutiny of the mages.
Facing the gaze of more than a dozen mages whose strength was at least level two, even if Donald was very confident, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.
It's like when I was in college in my previous life, a person stood on the podium in the school auditorium and greeted the attention of tens of thousands of people below.
This is not Donald's psychological problem, but because the mental power of the mages is far beyond that of ordinary people, and some fourth- and fifth-level mid-level mages can even reach more than ten times the strength of ordinary people's mental power. Moreover, the mages are able to release their spiritual power, even if they don't do it deliberately, these powerful spiritual powers will involuntarily overflow, forming a spiritual aura-like existence, suppressing the creatures in it. Unless you are a person with advanced strength or above, you can control it freely, and you can restrain your aura like an ordinary person.
For Donald's performance, the mages were quite satisfied, with their apprentice-level spiritual power, they could withstand the spiritual force field of so many mages, and their talent potential was undoubtedly very good, even something they had never discovered.
In the face of Donald's sudden emergence of genius apprentices, most of them had a kind attitude, and a few even smiled and nodded to him with a more intimate attitude like Messer.
Of course, there were a few mages who disdained him, but neither of them had the same jealous and disgusted attitude as the second-level mages Naron and Snow Mages, which couldn't help but make Donald feel a little reassured. As for the Snow Mage, because he lost to an apprentice, he didn't even have the face to appear in front of everyone with his friend Naron, and he hadn't returned to the guild for two or three days. These were all messages that William, the waiter in the front hall, had told him.
Although not all the mages, according to the records of the club, there were about one hundred and forty official mages in the entire North County, but there were only a dozen of them at the scene. However, most of the mages above the third level in the North County are located here, and with Messer, it is almost the highest level of mage power in the North County, which will be of great benefit to Donald's future development.
Then Messer opened the room on the left side of the council hall with a small spell and said in a loud voice:
"The second thing is that this Merlina apprentice has provided thirty-nine fresh demonic beast corpses above the third level for the mages in our clubhouse, and you can buy what you need at the market price! Originally, Merlinna's apprentice planned to sell the demonic beasts to you at a preferential price lower than the market price, but this decision was vetoed by me, we are all official mages, and we are all seniors who have been mages for many years, how can we let an apprentice suffer! And even the market price is much cheaper than the price sold by those greedy merchants. Therefore, the number of monsters is limited, so everyone present can discuss the distribution for themselves!
Messer, who has been at the peak of the middle level for many years, doesn't care much about the materials of the Warcraft below the fifth level, so he doesn't compete with these other mages for those Warcraft corpses, not to mention that there is already a fifth-level Warcraft in his hands before.
When more than a dozen mages saw these many demonic beast corpses, they couldn't help but have excited expressions on their faces, these were the most suitable materials for their level, and even a few younger mages cheered.
This time, the mages looked at Donald more and more pleasantly, and even the two mages who were a little disdainful before looked at each other much more friendly.
Most mages have only two conditions for making friends with people, the knowledge and strength of the other person, and the attitude towards other people.
Arrogance does not cause a mage to be disgusted, as long as you have the conditions for arrogance, but greed and ignorance will definitely cause mages to dislike it.
