According to this calculation, you don't need more than a hundred copper coins, but about seventy copper coins to become a high-level wizard apprentice.
He had been looking forward to this day for too long. He had started memorizing Potions, Magic Runes, Materials Science, and even the Biology that Barr had recently brought in, all early in preparation for becoming a senior wizard apprentice.
All of these disciplines except meditation are collectively called alchemy by wizards.
For wizards, the greatest role of alchemy is to analyze various witchcrafts and develop various alchemical equipment. A wizard may not know witchcraft because he cannot buy spell models, but he must know alchemy. At least he must be proficient in one of them, otherwise he may not even have enough food to eat.
Wizards are very expensive, but where does the money come from? It comes from alchemy. By refining various things and selling them to other wizards, to warriors, and to nobles, this is the basic way to make money. And how much money can those wizards who don’t know any alchemy make by working for others?
Dolai, who wants to learn the real alchemy, has been looking forward to this day for a long time.
One day in mid-October, Harley came to Mondo's blacksmith shop in a hurry. He did not stay outside for long, but went straight to the back.
Recently, with the opening of mountain roads, the demand for various tools has decreased. In addition, in autumn, the demand for weapons from both the military and police stations has gradually decreased, and everyone has become idle.
As soon as Harley came in, they paid close attention to him, after all, he was the boss of all of them.
Soon, he came out again, followed by Uncle Hong.
Uncle Hong said a few words to Dolai and asked him to follow Harley to do something. Dolai followed Harley without saying a word.
At this point, Dolai understood that Harley came to find him this time. The reason why he didn't come to him directly was because he was afraid of exposing something. He vaguely felt that Harley had something to say to him, but why didn't he say it at night, but had to say it during the day.
He packed up a little, without even changing his clothes, and walked out of the blacksmith shop with Harley.
Arriving on the street, the two walked side by side. Harley whispered to Dolai, "You are going to be in trouble. The Superpower Society has been secretly investigating the name Dolai recently, and they have already found it on me."
Dole's current alias is Lin Rui. He is very different from the previous Dole. His appearance, personality, etc. have all changed. Harley told him these things just to remind him.
As soon as he said this, Duolai's mind moved and he began to sense around to see if there was anyone following him.
Magicians often have very keen senses.
At this time, Harley whispered, "It's been a month since this happened, and I didn't dare to come to you. Now they are no longer following me, so don't worry. I asked you to come here today because I really have something to trouble you with, but I just want to talk about this matter by the way."
Dolai was startled. It's been a month?
He had just killed Carmen a month ago. Could it be that Dis was so alert? Did he tell the Ability Society directly?
He knew the methods of wizards, especially those above level one, who possessed many mysterious methods. He was afraid that this matter would not end so easily.
He thought for a moment and said, "Brother Ha, what do you want me to do?"
He said he knew about this matter.
Ha Ge's face was calm. "Nothing much. Just help me go to the City Lord's Mansion and repair a piece of equipment for someone." He whispered again, "Just remember what I told you. Don't show off."
Dolai nodded to show that he understood, and his expression gradually became nervous.
He quickly asked, "Don't you need tools to repair things? Isn't there a second-level blacksmith in the City Lord's Mansion?"
Harley walked away and looked at him, somewhat speechless, "It's just an excuse, you really took it seriously, let's go out for a walk and come back later."
Duolai was speechless. If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't be so nervous. I have never been to the City Lord's Mansion.
Harley wanted to take care of Dole because of his talent, but Dole was a restless guy. In just a few months, those guys died one after another. Harley was a little troubled. Although on the surface they had nothing to do with Dole and it seemed that there were reasons, it was no wonder that a series of deaths would arouse Dis's vigilance.
Not only Diss, even Harley, who knew that Dole was not dead, suspected him.
"You should be careful recently and don't leave any secret things at home. I'm afraid they will find them secretly." Harley whispered again.
Regarding this, Dolai is not afraid. With Bal at home, no one would dare to go there and seek death.
He nodded solemnly, "I'll pay attention."
He planned to rent a house secretly, a house unknown to ordinary people, on the edge of the East District so that he could slip away at any time.
Dole used to work in Lao Ke's blacksmith shop, and he had a good relationship with everyone. Harley even ran around after Dole disappeared. Someone must be paying attention to him, and then to everyone around him. Dole will definitely come into some people's sight, so he has to make preparations at this time.
The two walked through the street and soon arrived at the central area. Just as Harley said, they did enter the City Lord's Mansion and met a few people, but they left after a few words without even staying for long.
This was Duolai's first time entering the City Lord's Mansion. He was not attracted by the luxury of the Mansion, and he didn't even look at it for long. In his eyes, what good place was there in this remote place? It was not as rich as described in Naluye's book.
When he walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, he decided to get himself a library card so that he could borrow more books and expand his knowledge.
After returning from the City Lord's Mansion, the two separated. Walking on the road, Duolai looked straight ahead, but he soon discovered that there were two familiar marks on the side of the road.
One mark is for Lily and the other mark is for Lao Mi.
Dolai has been keeping a low profile recently and even forgot about the transactions with these two parties. He patted his head and returned home instead of going to work.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a slight tingling sensation at the back of his head, as if someone was staring at him.
He suddenly became alert.
"It seems that Butler Harley is still not alert enough. Are these people in the Supernatural Society really that powerful?"
He pretended not to know and walked straight ahead, soon entering the avenue and then going to the clothes shop next to it.
The feeling of being watched suddenly disappeared.
Dole bought a set of clothes and walked out. The feeling of being watched immediately came back. He pretended to look at the road and glanced at the crowd. He soon found several unusual people in the crowd.
Why are there several people and not just one? Because Dolai is not sure which one it is. As a mid-level wizard apprentice, his mental perception is still a little lacking.
Following the avenue, passing Domont Street and returning to the blacksmith shop, he turned his head and looked a few times, identifying one of them.
A young man dressed in aristocratic clothes, about eighteen or nineteen years old.
Dole ignored him and spent the entire afternoon in the blacksmith shop.
He read books, worked iron, and occasionally talked with Anderson and other blacksmiths. He did not do a third action. Everything was the same as usual, without any difference. He did not even look outside.
The more this happens, the more he cannot act recklessly, cannot leave other people's sight, and cannot show any abnormality. If he suddenly disappears under other people's noses, no matter how, there must be something fishy.
Before the sun set, Mondo's blacksmith shop closed for get off work, and Dolai took his new clothes through the alley and returned to his little nest in the East District, never to come out again.
…
Naturally, Beech could not follow Dole himself, so he sent his subordinate, a mid-level wizard apprentice named Kane. He was following Harley and had learned some intelligence about Harley. He followed him today and saw Dole who was brought out by him.
