Chapter 600: Missing a mount!
Gervis spent the entire morning feeling heartbroken.
When the fire magic instructor finally announced the end of get out of class, Gervis said hello to Zenia and then walked out of the Fire Magician Building listlessly.
"I won't be taking this kind of class this afternoon. I'll go prepare the materials for making the Heart of the Dead first!"
After walking out of the magic building, Gervis suppressed his heartache and began to think about what he should do in the afternoon.
He was not planning to take the fire magic course for the time being, because he felt that having a basic fire magic manual was enough for him.
Anyway, he was just an auditor, and the college didn't have any mandatory roll call requirements.
After all, learning magic is different from learning ordinary knowledge. Each person's talent plays a big role in it. Moreover, in this era when force is respected, cultivation does not require anyone to supervise it.
In this alliance's higher education institution, if you want to get a certificate from the academy, you must make a breakthrough.
For example, if you break through to become a junior magician, you can get a certificate after passing the academy assessment, and then you can get intermediate magic and advanced magician!
In short, if you can make a breakthrough within five years, you can get a certificate and register as a formal magician in the Magicians Association, and enjoy various privileges on the Holy Road.
But if you fail to make a breakthrough to become a junior magician within five years, then sorry, you will be kicked out and all your tuition fees will be wasted.
More importantly, even if he learns magic on his own outside the academy and succeeds in making a breakthrough, he will then just be a wild wizard who cannot be seen in public.
Of course, such things are rare in the Alliance's higher education institutions.
On the contrary, in other academies within the alliance, every year there are students who are about to reach the five-year period but are unable to break through and ultimately fail to become magicians.
And this is how most of the wild mages on the Holy Continent came about.
…
After thinking about the afternoon arrangements, Gervis went straight to the college cafeteria. After having a delicious meal, he walked towards the college gate.
Arriving outside the academy and watching the students coming and going, Gervis remembered something.
Because he saw many students riding mounts after leaving the school, and only a few students walked like him.
"It seems I have to find a mount someday! If that doesn't work, I'll just buy a warhorse!"
Gervis was making plans in his mind. It wasn't that Gervis was lazy and didn't want to walk, but the City of Hope was not small. If he walked every time he went out, it would be a waste of time.
If he was in Storm Territory, he wouldn't have to worry at all, because as long as he dug out the purple kiwi fruit, it would attract nearby monsters, and he could choose any mount he wanted at that time.
But this is not possible in the City of Hope. The population of the Holy Continent is already dense, and the City of Hope is even more so.
If it weren't for the large wilderness areas like the Sunset Forest, it would be impossible to have large-scale magical beasts. Even if there were, they would have long since become people's meals.
Thinking in his mind, Gervis subtly added a little fighting spirit to his legs, and then began to rush towards the inner city.
When he went to Leng Feicui Manor yesterday, he saw many shops on both sides of the street.
"Originally, my fortune of twenty deep-sea pearls should have been able to sustain me for a long time in the Holy Continent, but I didn't expect that they would all be wasted in just a few days!"
Gervis still has the last eleven deep-sea pearls on him, but he doesn't know how many he will have left after purchasing the materials this time, because he has already determined the prices of several materials needed for the Heart of the Undead.
The main materials of the Heart of the Undead include the dark attribute Warcraft crystals, as well as the dark night grass, swamp blood vine flowers, lava lizard scales, and many other materials.
Gervis had only heard of a small portion of these materials, but even those he had heard of were already very expensive.
For example, this dark attribute Warcraft crystal is relatively rare, so one requires at least more than a thousand gold coins. Another example is that a plant of Dark Night Grass also costs hundreds of gold coins.
So Gervis felt that if he wanted to make the Heart of the Dead, he would need at least thousands of gold coins.
Of course, in order to see the true powerful effect of the Heart of the Undead, Gervis still reluctantly gave it a try.
Soon Gervis walked to a shop that specialized in selling gems and other rare items.
"Mr. Magician, what do you need?"
Gervis was wearing a grey apprentice magician's robe, and when the waiter in the store saw him, he immediately came forward to greet him attentively.
"I want to sell the Deep Sea Pearl. How much can you offer for it?"
As he spoke, Gervis took out a deep-sea pearl and placed it in his hand.
This is the City of Hope, so Gervis didn't bother asking people whether they would accept such treasures. After all, deep-sea pearls are easy to sell in big cities.
"Mr. Magician, this deep-sea pearl of yours is of medium to high quality. If you are interested in selling it, we will give you 600 gold coins for it!"
The servant was obviously very knowledgeable. When he saw the size of the deep-sea pearl in Gervis's hand, his eyes immediately lit up.
There are many wealthy families in the City of Hope who want to purchase such a large deep-sea pearl, and several guests have also called on them to pay attention to the deep-sea pearl in advance.
Therefore, as long as they accept the deep-sea pearl and resell it immediately, they can earn hundreds of gold coins for one deep-sea pearl.
"Too low! This deep-sea pearl can be exchanged for 60 points at the academy! And I have ten of them here. Give me a reasonable price, or I'll go ask at the next store!"
Although the price given by the servant was similar to the academy's estimate, Gervis felt that the academy was a rip-off, and deep-sea pearls were not hard to sell in the City of Hope, so Gervis concluded that the price the servant gave him was too low.
And Gervis also knew that most of the shops in the inner city of the City of Hope were designed to earn money from college students, so they were not like the shops he had encountered before. Once they saw that he was a magician, they were all very honest and did not hide anything.
"Your Excellency the Magician, do you really have ten deep-sea pearls of the same quality? If so, I will give you 20 gold coins for each one!"
The servant's eyes lit up after hearing what Gervis said. The more deep-sea pearls the apprentice magician in front of him sold, the more money he would make.
"650 gold coins per piece! If you agree, we'll do the deal right now. If you don't agree, I'll ask in another store!"
Gervis thought it was too little, so he directly quoted the price he had in mind.
"Deal, your honorable magician!"
Seeing that Gervis looked serious, the servant naturally did not want to let this sure-win business slip away, so he immediately nodded and agreed.
The market price of these deep-sea pearls is 700 gold coins, and because deep-sea pearls are in short supply recently, they can be sold at a premium of dozens of gold coins. They can make 700 to 800 gold coins by reselling them, so naturally they are unwilling to let go.
After the two parties agreed on the price, the servant quickly found the shop owner. Gervis counted out ten of the remaining eleven deep-sea pearls and gave them to the shop owner. After receiving 6,500 gold coins, he left the shop directly.
Thanks for the reward!!!
