Chapter 008: Go, Tool Man

Before this, almost everyone’s flattery and enthusiasm for him stemmed from his father, Duke Luen

Although the time taken to chant a spell is greatly related to the mage's own rank, even a powerful mage requires several seconds or even tens of seconds to chant a simple spell. If this occurs on the battlefield, they could be killed hundreds of times, which is one of the reasons why Bruno's guards dared to confront mages head-on.

Anel suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, but the smile on Bruno's face told him that he had not misheard

Is this it? Bruno asked

It seems that the mages in this world are far less terrifying than he had previously thought Bruno couldn't help but let out a sigh

However, the original owner of this body was truly an unlearned individual. Most of the books about mages that Bruno rummaged through were nothing more than a collection of works like "The Amorous Mage's Quest for Love" and "The Mage's Pursuit of Beauty." Such poorly written texts, filled with typos and completely misaligned with core values, were always disregarded by Bruno.

Aner is certainly not the optimal choice, but he is Bruno's only option

The mages in this world are far from as powerful as Bruno imagined; in other words, in this world, mages can only be considered a high-end and prestigious profession, rather than the extraordinary beings that transcend morality and law as depicted in the web novels he has read

Bruno needs a tool person who can perform levitation magic This is the only reason he has left for keeping Arnel

Due to the obstruction of the Almis Mountains, the city of Idar, located at the easternmost part of the Norman Empire, has very limited connections with the inland, and mages are rarely seen there on ordinary days

Even his magic mentor had given up on guiding and teaching him, at this moment, Arnel's mood was one of joy and elation

At least for now, Bruno does not care why Arnel is in such a plight, nor does he care why Arnel has so clumsily barged into Idar City. What Bruno cares about at this moment is only one thing, and that is the construction of the sky garden

Bruno Stuart, the hereditary Earl of Idar. Moreover, this book is not a picture book of mine! Bruno's face was filled with frustration

The new servant is named Jess Lobbida. He was originally just an ordinary male servant in the castle, but after Shabi was promoted by Bruno to the position of the chief steward of Idar City, he became Bruno's new personal male servant

He actually had a noble mage build the garden

In fact, Bruno originally did not have high expectations for Anel.

The reason Bruno insisted on keeping him was solely because Arnel possessed the ability of levitation

"The Mage's Hunting Record"? Oh! It is actually the most classic version. I didn't expect to find someone who shares the same path. Uh... I haven't asked how to address you yet.

In the study

Employer? It must be made clear in advance that we are equal in character. Although you are an earl, I am also the esteemed son of Duke Luen, a noble mage. Our relationship is merely...

When Anel finally finished speaking, Bruno then spoke up, saying: "What exactly can you do? I certainly do not wish for the high remuneration of five gold coins per month to merely hire a food-consuming machine"

"Quite good," Bruno said, feigning profundity

However, similarly, while mages are certainly capable of manipulating magical elements, they also possess a significant weakness, which is the exceedingly long casting time required.

Bruno exerted considerable effort to gather all the books related to mages; in his view, mages could be regarded as the greatest source of uncertainty in this world, aside from himself

I... I can cast spells, and I know many kinds of magic. " Anel seemed to hesitate for a moment, then spoke as if he were confident.

"Thank you... thank you," Anel said somewhat stammeringly

He finally felt that this unconventional noble was not as detestable as he had thought. Although his cheek still throbbed faintly with pain, he found a long-lost sense of recognition here in Idar.

The arrival of Anel undoubtedly provided Bruno with a convenient gateway, offering a shortcut to accomplish the marvel of construction through magic

After all, there must be a reason why a young nobleman of distinguished lineage would venture far from home, endure hunger, and even find himself in a situation where he had to steal bread to survive

Indeed, this damned fellow is still as detestable as ever

What kind of magic? You should clarify which types, for example, the levitation spell you used when stealing bread

There is nothing inappropriate to discuss here, as there are no outsiders present. I remember the most classic part is ... ...

Anel experienced the taste of being recognized for the first time

I plan to build a large garden during this period, and I hope you can help them a bit then said Bruno with a smile

Aner sat down carelessly at the desk, intending only to glance casually at the desk, but unexpectedly, his eyes lit up.

Moreover, during the construction of the sky garden, he can achieve complete control and planning over the entire Idar City, allowing for a comprehensive reorganization of his own territory

"Alright," Bruno interrupted him rudely, "now it is time for you to tell me what exactly you are capable of, after all, I am now considered your employer."

"This... besides levitation, I can also... I can also cast fireball spells," Arnel replied, his face flushed and somewhat dejected.

The old parchment scroll was covered in dust, and even the writing on the parchment had become somewhat blurred, yet this was the only normal book that Bruno could find

While deep in thought, a servant led Anel into the study

Everything in Idar must make way for the construction of the Hanging Gardens, as Bruno has high hopes for the rewards that will come after the completion of the Hanging Gardens

In Bruno's view, this is simply a powerful tool for constructing wonders

Imagine using stones endowed with levitation magic to construct a sky garden, it would certainly be much easier

The only ones capable of transcending morality and law are the actual rulers of the Norman Empire, namely the noble group that includes Bruno

Quite good

From a certain perspective, mages can be considered a unique group in this world. They are born with the ability to perceive magical elements, and a portion of them will join various schools of magic to study spells after reaching adulthood, while the rest are mostly employed by the nobility.

At this moment, Bruno realized that this guy actually had a bit of a chatterbox gene, so he simply picked up a book and started flipping through it, pretending not to hear his nonsense

Finally, he found a somewhat normal book at the very bottom of the bookshelf—"The Chronicles of the Notable Sorcerers of the Norman Empire"

Can a mage apprentice who is already in their twenties and only knows two types of magic still receive compliments from others

Anel's expression suddenly froze ... ... repair. ... ... repair the garden
