Chapter 09 (Part One)
Come in! The door opened, and two women stepped forward to pay their respects: "My lord."
Hurry up and learn another level 1 spell, then obtain the qualification to become a formal mage, and participate in the city's patrol team
Yes, this is 100 gold coins. From now on, the daily expenses and the management of this household will depend on you
Annie looked over and the first thing she saw was a graceful woman. The lady bowed her head in greeting, and her high-necked gown revealed a deep cleavage, a smooth and elastic expanse of white skin. At thirty years old, she still maintained a slender figure and exuded the charm of a mature woman
Sitting idly will lead to emptiness; do not be misled by the fact that 2850 gold coins is still a substantial amount. However, being able to support oneself for half a year in the pursuit of magical studies is already quite remarkable, especially considering the enormous expenses brought about by the progress of someone like Anien. It seems necessary to find some sources of income.
What about the adventure group
A large pile of gold poured out from the space bag, with 100 coins stacked into a small hill on the table. Bubisha was clearly dazzled by the luster of the gold and respectfully agreed
Satisfied, at least with a score of eighty. Anien turned her head to watch her daughter. Rhys noticed the man in front of her was looking at her, and her body involuntarily trembled slightly. She was wearing a mhetushu... comcom, just a cat maid outfit. Beneath the short skirt, her long and youthful thighs were visible. The young girl still did not understand how to disguise her feelings, and in her beautiful eyes that looked over, there was a mixture of shame and pleading.
The adventurer group is no longer suitable for you. Given your current level, participating in the adventurer group is too dangerous. As a noble, you should understand that the city's elite use adventurer groups as cannon fodder, resulting in a very high casualty rate. There is no need for you to risk your life for such a small amount of money. Di Kanlang did not mention that Anien is a noble, and no low-level adventurer group is willing to accept him, while high-level adventurer groups look down on his limited abilities.
"My lord, Bubi Sha and her daughter Ruis have arrived. Should we let them in?" A respectful voice from outside roused Anien from his reverie
"Lift your head and come closer," Anien said. Bubi Sha immediately smiled, lifted her head, and approached. She was wearing a modified qipao, a garment from another universe's Earth region. Bubi Sha had a great figure, and according to his instructions, she was not wearing any underwear beneath the qipao. Her prominent breasts were visible, and the high slit at the bottom revealed her long legs, which became subtly apparent as she moved.
"Not bad, the city patrol team. As a Level 1 Mage, you will receive a monthly salary of 10 gold coins. This amount is somewhat modest, but it grants you an official status. Although you are a noble and already enjoy a 50% discount on tuition, you still need to purchase spell scrolls and magical materials at full price. Now that you are part of the city patrol team, you can enjoy a 20% discount on these purchases, which significantly alleviates the burden on your studies." Dikanglang continued, "Moreover, the dangers within the city patrol team are relatively low, and you will also learn some military skills and knowledge that are difficult to acquire directly in school. Of course, more importantly, you will accumulate experience and qualifications in Moonlight City. Many positions and channels require a certain period of service in the official institutions of Moonlight City to obtain. You will come to understand the immense benefits of this in the future."
Two hours later, he found the only familiar person, Di Kanlang, and discussed some economic issues with him. Di Kanlang was somewhat surprised that he had learned the Level 1 spell, Magic Missile, but was not at all surprised by his financial problems. Having been the owner of the Red Apple Hotel at the academy's entrance for over ten years, he certainly understood that being a wizard is a profession that burns money. Even nobles find it difficult to sustain this lifestyle continuously.
Both mother and daughter possess qualities that are above the average. Anien said with satisfaction: "Yes, very good, put on the clothes I have prepared for you!" The reason it took three days to summon them was to prepare these two outfits.
What is your suggestion? Anien humbly inquired of Dikonlang
However, if we are talking about making money, I suggest you learn enchant weapons and mage armor, as these are profitable spells. If you can master permanent enchantments, then congratulations, you will have a steady stream of income. Both adventurers and armies are willing to spend money to enhance their weapons with magic
Bubisa let out a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, my lord"
Then, my lord
On the afternoon of the third day, I lay back and admired a small statue of a nude woman, which resembled the maid of the former owner of the residence. Nobles often liked to have their maids sculpted in the nude and placed in their bedrooms for admiration, and sometimes even in the hall. This maid looked quite appealing, and Anien was lost in thought as she admired it
Immediately, a servant led them out the door; however, after half an hour, the door opened, and the two women, already changed into their clothes, walked back in
Today, there is no need to attend to the books; take some time to familiarize yourselves with the environment and the people at home. Also, bring your own belongings over. It is essential to give them some time to adjust; Anien is not that impatient yet
If you really want to sell something, it would be better to sell the scroll of Enchantment of Humanity, which has a special function in certain situations and is quite popular among many men. However, this type of scroll that influences human will is clearly prohibited in the city. While it is possible to go through the black market, it is unnecessary for a promising noble like you. If the city authorities find out, it will leave a dark mark on your record and affect your future. Di Kanlang's words are quite reasonable; he seems to be an understanding person and speaks the truth.
Nodding slightly, Anien accepted his opinion
10,150 gold coins, spent 3,500 gold coins to buy a space bag, spent 3,000 gold coins to purchase a house, paid tuition of 250 gold coins, additionally incurred a special study fee of 200 gold coins, along with 250 gold coins for intermediary and taxes during the transaction, plus today's household funds of 100 gold coins, now, approximately 2,850 gold coins remain.
Indeed, it is quite remarkable; I have not wasted my effort in retrieving such information from the Earth's database. Anien, feeling satisfied, then said: "Bubisha, you shall serve as my steward at www.hetushu.com, and Ruisi, you shall serve as my maid."
City Patrol Corps
Behind her, the fifteen-year-old daughter, Rhys, lacked such mature charm; however, she excelled in her youth. The breath of spring emanated from her slender, elongated waist and the graceful lines of her femininity. According to the rules, the skirts of female attendants could not extend beyond the calf, thus perfectly revealing her rounded, strong legs.
Transcribing scrolls is a business, but in reality, there is not such a high demand. Although level 1 spell scrolls can be used by non-magic professions, the market is relatively large, yet their power is limited. Therefore, they rarely have an irreplaceable role for warrior professions. For instance, your magic missile spell has a scroll priced around 5 gold coins, but in reality, buying ten good arrows also costs 5 gold coins, achieving a similar effect and allowing for repeated use, even though the hit rate is not as high as that of magic missiles. Di Kanlang is quite knowledgeable about the market conditions and shook his head, dismissing the scroll business: "Only high-level scrolls can play an irreplaceable and important role on the battlefield or in other situations. Therefore, although the user base is relatively narrow, they sell quickly and well. Thus, your scroll transcription has great potential, but at your current level, you won't make much money."
