In fact, Christina did not have a particularly clear concept of the importance of the Chamber of Commerce, let alone any correct understanding of magic.
Back in Deepwater Territory, there was a magician, but he was just an old man who focused on alchemy, and his skills were not outstanding.
Therefore, in Christina's mind, the magician has always been imagined as a sloppy old man with a beard who stays at home all day and never leaves the laboratory for ten days or half a month.
However, since arriving at Amethyst Island, she discovered that not all magicians were like this.
When she realized that she had the possibility to learn magic and become an important helper to Krober, she couldn't help but feel excited.
This obvious change certainly did not escape the eyes of those discerning ladies.
After all, Christina looked stiff and nervous before she went out, but after just a while, her expression changed drastically, which obviously aroused their curiosity.
"Ms. Christina, have you encountered any good news? If it's convenient, why not share it with us?"
The speaker was Hyer's wife, Xanthe, who was the lady with the highest status among all the people present and had received the most complete aristocratic education.
Because of her previous experience of participating in many banquets and her own aristocratic cultivation, Xansi even had a tendency to replace Christina as the focus of the banquet.
In this speech, Xanxi also showed her elegance and generosity.
Although she really wanted to show herself, she didn't dare to really steal Christina's limelight.
Because her husband Hyer once told her that Lord Krober was not as easy to talk to as he looked. If she provoked him even a little bit, her body would probably turn to ashes the next day.
Although Xanthe came from a lower-class noble family, she still had some basic intelligence and judgment.
At this moment, Christina seemed to be still immersed in her own joy and had not come back to her senses. After hearing Xansi's words, she subconsciously answered:
"Krober just told me to learn magic!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the back garden fell into silence.
Magic, unlike fighting spirit, only requires a fighting spirit secret book and training resources to cultivate a powerful knight.
To become a powerful magician, one not only needs to provide sufficient training resources, but also needs to learn a lot of knowledge and conduct hundreds or thousands of experiments.
Take the most basic elementary alchemy as an example. If a magician wants to learn this spell, he needs to learn the prerequisite knowledge.
"Elementary Elementology", "Hand of the Mage", "Elementary Magic", "Spell Attachment", etc.
These books, which are so basic that they cannot be more basic, are all purchased with gold coins.
Elementary Elements, as the most comprehensive basic enlightenment book, was sold at a high price of nearly one hundred gold coins!
This is equivalent to an iron knight sword!
Although other enlightenment books are relatively cheaper, they still cost dozens of gold coins.
However, these are only a tiny fraction of the total expenditure.
Once you have learned some basic knowledge, you must start practicing.
As for magicians, they prefer to call it an "experiment."
Once the magicians began their experiments, the gold coins flowed away like running water.
So Krober let Christina learn magic, which is enough to show her important position in Krober's mind.
This could not help but deepen Zanxi's desire to please her.
"Oh, this is great news! Lord Krober supports you in learning magic, which shows that he has high hopes for you! I think this is a very rare opportunity, you must seize it!"
Xanthe's words were also recognized by others. Although some people still didn't know what it meant to train a magician from scratch, after seeing Xanthe's flattery and Christina's excitement, they also had a rough preliminary understanding of the matter.
Christina finally came to her senses. She was the one who hadn't come to her senses just now, but now that she had reacted, it was naturally impossible for her to reveal any information.
"Come on, everyone, let's drink from this cup together!"
Christina only seemed to have some confidence at this time. At least, she dared to raise her glass and invite others to drink together.
After leaving the back garden, Krober had no intention of returning to the banquet hall.
He walked silently through the long corridor and came to the office area on the side of the castle.
The members of the Dragon Breath Knights stationed here attracted Krober's attention.
"Victor, how does it feel to be in a new environment?"
Victor Sunflower, oh no, he doesn’t have a last name now.
As the Knight Commander of the Dragon's Breath Knights and also a good friend of Krober, since Krober has obtained the service of half of the Dragon's Breath Knights, he will naturally choose someone he is more familiar with and trustworthy.
So Victor followed Krober to Amethyst Island.
"Ah...it's Krober. Oh no, I should call you Lord now."
Victor's voice sounded rather tired. Recalling his previous state in Saint Gold Castle, Krober could ask him about it at this time.
"What's wrong with you? I remember you were like this last time in the office."
After hearing Krober's question, Victor fell into silence, which was rare for a guy like him who was not very careful with his words.
"Hey, Knight Commander Victor, why are you still silent? What? Have you become a noble lady from that family?"
This wasn't because Krober was teasing him, but mainly because Victor seemed to have nothing to lose now.
Except for the gem equipment he took from the Blue Flame Grass Family at that time.
"You lost that emerald necklace?"
"Huh?! No, it's still on me."
Victor was still wearing plate armor at this time, so he just patted his chest to indicate that the necklace was safe.
"Then why are you so haggard? Hurry up and tell me! Don't be so nagging."
Under Krober's questioning, Victor reluctantly told his difficulties.
"Actually, I've developed feelings for a young lady from a noble family in Saint-Golden Castle, but her parents and brothers don't approve of her marrying a poor nobleman who doesn't even have a surname..."
"Who said you have nothing? Don't you still have the title of Dragon Breath Knight and the cultivation of a Grand Knight?"
"Alas, I'm unlucky because of the title of Dragon Breath Knight..."
Victor was reminded of the sad past by Krober, and he started complaining to Krober regardless of the fact that he was still on guard.
