Chapter 18 Wealth is also strength

"What I want to sell are those young noblemen who want to become knights. Do you expect them to actually venture into dangerous places? They will only dress for hunting! As long as they look like heroes in front of ignorant girls, That's good. I'm not planning to become a big arms dealer like you, but to become a privately customized aristocratic brand." Thorin said to himself.

In the past half month, in addition to studying alchemy with Mailer every day, more and more people came to him to buy all kinds of weird alchemical products, but there is no doubt that the great alchemist Mailer was also a The great weapons dealer.

Mailer listened speechlessly for a long time.

After the "Red Dragon Armor" was finally bought by the youngest son of the Earl of Paris for [-] gold galleons, Thorin became more determined in his thinking, and secretly cursed these extravagant nobles in his heart.But Thorin's reputation has been completely established.

The afternoon sun shone lazily on the quietly flowing Seine River, and the wide river surface was coated with a layer of golden scales.

"Teacher, are the symbols in the magic circle different from what I learned in the book?"

"That's because it is composed of two different ancient characters. These symbols are drawn to gather the corresponding magical energy in the world. The functions of spells drawn with different magical materials also have different functions. And the functions of a magic circle It is determined by the size, type and sequence of these accumulated energies.”

As the days passed, the weather became hotter and hotter.Thorin is now either immersed in his study or in the laboratory studying alchemy every day.

Until one afternoon.

"Let me ask you, what is the most important thing about a wizard?" Mailer asked lazily while basking in the sun.

"Strength, great strength" Thorin came back to without even thinking about it.

"Then what is the root of the wizard's strength?" Mailer continued to ask.

"The power of a wizard does not lie in the level of magic power, but also in the understanding and control of magic power." It seems that these are not the answers Thorin wants to answer.

"A wizard's power also lies in his insidiousness and wealth." Thorin finally thought of it. "A wizard with magic alchemy rings on all ten fingers will never be defeated by a wizard with bare hands."

If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.Thorin still understands this.The many scars left in the previous year also made Thorin understand this truth through the pain of his own skin.

"Very good!" It was obvious that this answer satisfied Mailer. "There are not many wizards, and alchemists need to be naturally intelligent people among wizards, so they are even rarer. The path of magic is vast and boundless, and it will take time for magic power to grow. As time goes on, most wizards are unable to truly enter the door of magic in their lifetime. As an alchemist, you have to face the problem of how to allocate time and energy between magic and alchemical skills. Most alchemists are reluctant to do both. However, as a result, both sides are not refined, and the items created are all the same. This is the reason why magic equipment is hard to find, and high-quality products are even rarer. But even the same magic equipment, because the quantity is small, the price is the same. It’s not cheap. After all, better equipment may save one’s life in future battles, so most practitioners are willing to spend everything they have for a piece of equipment that fits their needs.”

Mailer warned like a mother worried about her child's hunger, "If you want to become a powerful wizard, you can't do it without money."

Thorin's eyes also shone, "Yes, the equipment of those great wizards is priceless."

"Thorin, you are still too poor now, and you can't even afford decent magic ingredients. Since you have followed me, you are considered my disciple, and the teacher has not given you anything. This magic ring can also be useful to you. It's somewhat useful. There's also this piece of black crystal, which is of good quality and can make up for the damage to your fingers. If you don't understand anything about the magic circle, just ask me. The rest depends on your own efforts. The improvement of magic power is not It’s just a matter of a day or two. If you want to become stronger quickly, you can only make money. If you have money, you can have good magic equipment. Only when you become stronger can you get richer."

Mailer seemed to be much younger, and he was quite unsatisfied. "All the influential figures in the world of spiritual practice are extremely wealthy. All of them have one or two artifacts."

Thorin was stunned when he heard this, and his heart was filled with blood.I didn't expect Mailer to have such an insight.Thorin felt that the world in front of him suddenly opened up, and his heart was filled with the soft light from the gold coins.

The magic ring that Mailer gave to Thorin was an ordinary magic amplification ring.It is said to be a magic power increase, but it actually helps the caster control the magic more accurately, so that the magic can be cast with less magic power.

Thorin's business quickly boomed. In the first month, he sold a knight's long sword, a knight's battle lance, and a set of knight's heavy armor. Not only did he recover the cost of three thousand gold galleons, but he also made five thousand gold galleons. Long, which made Thorin lament that alchemists make money quickly.

To be fair, what Thorin sells is of high quality and worth the price.

On an ordinary afternoon, another group of people came to Mailer's house.I thought they were also some of Mailer's good patrons.

Thorin just put on a professional smile, ready to say hello and try to see if he could lure customers over.The leading young man took off his hooded robe, and his blond hair jumped out, lighting up the whole room. His smile was as bright as the sun after the rain, and the light even stung Thorin's eyes.

The other party passed Thorin and walked straight towards the former Mailer, "Master Mailer, nice to meet you, I am David? 6? 1 Pendragon."

Thorin noticed that when old man Mailer heard the name, his smile froze, and he even showed a look of disbelief.

He asked David to sit down and asked the house elf to bring him the best tea.

David took a sip of tea, his leisurely movements flawless.

The guard next to him opened a small bag and poured out dozens of small gems of various colors on the table.

David smiled and said, "I'm here to discuss partnership. Master Mailer, I need to order a sword and a matching scabbard."

"The requirement for a sword is that it should be gorgeous. The sword should be golden, and the hilt should be inlaid with precious stones. When used, it will shine like the sun."

"The scabbard also needs to be gorgeous, but at the same time, I need the scabbard to have the power to resist damage and provide the user with the ability to recover. I also need some Elvish patterns to be engraved on the sword and the hilt." It doesn't vary. After Wei finished speaking, another guard next to him placed the drawings on the table.

"I am already old, and I am afraid that I am going to disappoint His Excellency the Lion-Hearted Grand Duke," Mailer said unhurriedly, "but my disciple's skills are not good enough, and he is completely qualified for your task."

David on the opposite side still had a warm smile on his face, but Thorin noticed that when Mele called him His Excellency the Lion-Hearted Grand Duke, there was deep cruelty in his eyes.

Thorin's face was full of excitement when he heard it, and he immediately picked up the drawings and started studying it. Naturally, he didn't figure out the reason for a long time.David looked on with a smile all the time, but the guards behind him showed faint disdain.

"Then don't disturb Master Mailer. I'm waiting for the good news from Master Thorin in Avalon." David then led the guards away.

"What did he say just now? Avalon?" Thorin asked in confusion.

"Weren't you very proud just now? You thought you finally took away my customer." Mailer turned around and sat down to drink tea calmly.

Thorin picked up the drawing and looked left and right, then stood up and paced back and forth in the room, "What he wants is not a magic weapon, and these requirements are actually to create the Sword of the Lake and the Scabbard of Avalon!"

"Just understand? You're still too stupid." Mailer said viciously, "But what he wants is not the real Sword of the Lake and Avalon Scabbard, as long as they look similar and are gorgeous enough."

"That's okay. Isn't this my strength?" Thorin said happily again. "Old man, is there really Avalon? Is he really a descendant of King Arthur?"

"David is indeed a descendant of King Arthur, but Great Britain can only have one king, and there is only one king now, and that is Queen Elizabeth." Mailer seemed to be caught in an unforgettable memory, "Just make the sword and the scabbard well, Don’t get involved in other matters, and don’t ask too many questions.”

"Oh" Thorin just sat next to him and started studying the drawings.

From the Paladins of the Vatican some time ago to the descendants of King Arthur now, Thorin is more certain that there are various methods of practice in this world, far more than just wizards.

But Thorin felt that things must not be that simple, and Britain was not monolithic.

In the wizarding world, there is the confrontation between Dumbledore and Voldemort, and now there is a descendant of King Arthur of Avalon.

It seems that he is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He may have built the Sword in the Lake for rebellion. After all, as a descendant of the king, he is now just a duke.

Although the old Her Majesty the Queen and her royal family have top popularity in Britain, there is always no shortage of careerists in any country.

"Don't think so much. A good craft is enough for you to survive. Knowing less will be good for you now." Mailer, who had woken up from his memory, stood up and walked away with a teacup in his hand.

On the other side, the conference room of the Ministry of Magic in France was busy discussing this matter.

"David? 6? 1 Pendragon! The golden lion of Avalon, why did he come to France?" Low murmurs continued in the conference room of the French Ministry of Magic.

David is the largest duke in Great Britain and one of the youngest knights in England. In addition, he is naturally handsome and has a distinguished background. His popularity even overshadows several princes in Great Britain.

"This represents an invasion! Do you want to seriously question the British Ministry of Magic?"

"No, no, no, it's a troubled time now. We should protect ourselves wisely. David just went to find Mailer. He should just buy some alchemy items."

"Great Britain is becoming more and more chaotic now. The Queen is old and can no longer protect her people. We should add fuel to the fire."

Various voices came and went in the conference room...but no one had an accurate conclusion. It was not until they received the news that David had left France that everyone became quiet.

Even the minister just said a few words of comfort and ended the meeting in a hurry.
