※You are so old for a magic apprentice. Www,QUanbEn-xIAoShUo,comThe maintenance of my face is not good enough, and my face has wrinkles. There is a bit of white on his temples. Most people in Qin Yin are black or brown. This bit of gray cannot be concealed.
However, this old apprentice was cleanly dressed and had specially used the cleaning technique on his body to make it almost spotless.
.
When Salin saw the meekness in the old apprentice's brown eyes, he felt contempt at first, and then couldn't bear it. This person will never be able to become an official mage in his lifetime. If he hadn't discovered the magic string potion more than thirty years later, I'm afraid he would be in the same situation.
Not everyone can have their own opportunities, and not everyone has their own courage or courage.
If you can't form the magic string, you will never become a respected mage. Many people changed careers to learn swordsmanship. He even became a thief in order to survive.
"What can you do?. Salin didn't ask Rex. They came to Alchemy City to inquire about Jason's whereabouts. The Glycos family cannot send people to collect intelligence in Alchemy City. This Rex Even if you don't tell Salin, he understands. If you want to find someone, it's better to ask a local snake.
For example, in Ceylon City, if you want to find someone as quickly as possible, you have to find a kid like Dick. Before becoming a thief, Dick did almost everything. He is stronger than Salin and can also do part-time work for others.
"Sir, do you want to stay here for a long time, or will you leave in three or two months?" Old Apprentice Jin asked with a smile.
"We haven't decided yet, but let's make a long-term stay first."
"In that case, let me introduce myself first. My name is Sumano, a senior apprentice."
"Salin. Sarin did not introduce anyone else to Sumanno. This old apprentice is just a passerby who came here alone. He is old and even the gods cannot change his future. Sumanno is destined not to be with him. There are a large number of magic apprentices, 80% of whom are under the age of eighteen, no matter what life encounters happen to people like Rex.
Sumano still said with a smile: "If Sir Salin stays here for a long time, do you plan to buy a house or rent a ready-made house?"
"Oh? What's the difference? Gradually
When Salin asked, Sumano's stomach growled. He smiled awkwardly but then took the initiative and said: "Lord Salin, I can explain everything to you, so can you let me drink a glass of ale?"
The old apprentice expressed it euphemistically. Salin nodded and said: "Lead the way. Don't be too expensive. I can only afford gold coins."
Sumano bowed and made a gesture of invitation, walking briskly. Take Salin and others through the narrow alley on the side of the street. When they came to another road, he said as he walked: "Sir, although this is Alchemy City, it has the same features as other cities. For example, things near the city gate are at least 10% more expensive.
Salin didn't reply. It was the first time for him to walk into that kind of alley. There were huge tall buildings on both sides of the alley. When he looked up, he could only see a sliver of sky. Moreover, the wall foundations on both sides are similar to those of ordinary town walls. The materials used are some substitutes of steel and rock. There is no difference except that the sturdiness of the magic array cannot be directly described.
The buildings on both sides feel like they are leaning toward the center. If a magic trap were designed here, it would be difficult for a great magician to escape.
This city was different from any town Salin had ever seen. It seemed like it had been moved from another side. It was incompatible with the human city that Salin knew.
Sumano led the five people out of more than a dozen streets before stopping in front of a tavern.
"Is it okay for Master Salin to have this place? One person can spend up to a dozen gold coins. Boom.
Saleen nodded in agreement. A dozen gold coins were the entire income of an ordinary person in a year. If you put it in Alchemy City, it will only cost you one meal. Such a life existed before meeting Jason. He couldn't even think about it. His biggest dream at that time was to have a meal at the Whale of Ceylon, preferably once a month.
In Whale of Ceylon, as long as you don’t click on the whales or monsters in the sea. One gold coin is enough for other dishes. I remember that the first time I was in danger was just because of a gold coin.
.
Salin sighed with emotion and followed Sumano into the tavern.
Salin has been in Qinyin for a while and knows that ale is relatively expensive due to Qinyin customs. Because the Qinyin empire attaches great importance to agriculture and imposes heavy taxes on other people's wine. If that noble dared to make wine privately to evade taxes, he might even be deprived of his fief. This kind of thing has never happened before. One viscount even started a war with the Imperial Army because of this. The end can be imagined.
Therefore, Qin Yin's tavern is actually a restaurant that gradually provides mainly fruit wine.
A waiter came over and took six people to find a seat to sit down. Salin didn't see the name of the dish, so the waiter handed over a thick book.
"What's this?.
"Menu. You can choose your favorite dishes according to the pattern above." The waiter explained patiently. Many people come to Alchemy City every year, not only magicians, but also ordinary people. Most of these ordinary people are nobles. They come to Alchemy City for fun.
"Oh?" Jin Salin took over the waiter..." Table music. Open each page of the six pages, and there is a whole magical image on the page. Xian Yin'erlu, it seems that the magician used magic to record the appearance of the dish and left it on the recipe made from the magic beast skin. This cookbook is thick and heavy, with at least more than a hundred pages, and it cost an unknown amount of gold coins.
few.
Of course, all of this will be earned from the guests' consumption. Although the number of Qin's nobles is not as large as that of other countries. There are not many rich people at all. Visiting Alchemy City may be a good choice for many people. There are too many magical landscapes and too much magic integrated into life, except in Holy Rock City. Salin didn't know any other city that was so magical.
In restaurants in other cities, there are many wooden signs hanging on the wall as soon as you enter the door. The names of the dishes that can be cooked that day are written on the wooden signs.
The function of this cookbook is just to whet one's appetite with the gimmick of magic images. What made Salin feel more considerate was that the ingredients of the dishes were also marked under the magic image of this recipe, as well as the corresponding prices for each month.
Salin took a rough look. He didn't care what he ate. He came here because he wanted to ask Sumano about the situation in Alchemy City. He glanced at Rex Hong and asked: "What do you want to eat? The ingredients for the dishes here are all good."
"Feel free to let them recommend Todoroki. Todoroki Rex has exquisite food requirements, but she is not necessarily incapable of enduring hardships when she is far away from Kuishui County. She can still fight with Black Butler even though she has a few broken bones. I won’t be unreasonably picky about my diet.
"Then please recommend. We want a share for eight people." Salin said to the waiter. Nailis doesn't eat much. She often collects things that are difficult for Salin to swallow, and Salin orders two more portions. , is for Sika.
The waiter patiently asked everyone if they had any taboo foods. Then he chose a set meal for eight people for Salin and others.
There was already dessert, fruit wine and soup in the set meal, so there was no need to choose another one. Salin just ordered an extra large glass of ale for Sumano.
The ale was served first. Sumano did not drink. He respectfully said to Salin: "Lord Salin, you can ask me questions first."
Salin saw that Sumano's ale cup was not small, and was afraid that he would not be able to ask questions after drinking too much, so he asked: "What is the difference between Sumano buying a house and renting a ready-made house?"
“Buying a house costs a lot at first, but you can sell it when you leave. After deducting the transaction tax, it’s much cheaper to rent a house for the money you lose.
You should have noticed. The houses in Alchemy City are very big, but there are less than one million people in this city. Based on the area of Alchemy City, it would not be a problem to house three to five times the population in so many tall buildings. In Alchemy City. The houses you can rent can each accommodate thirty to fifty people. boom
"Oh? Isn't that a waste?. Boom
"Sir, those nobles come to Alchemy City just to waste money. There are many who spend thousands of gold coins every day. When Sumano said this, he sighed. He didn't come here for fun. Hong Dao became a high-level magic apprentice. Then he came to Alchemy City. More than thirty years passed in a blink of an eye, and by the time his temples were gray, he still hadn't made any progress.
But he didn't want to leave. He likes this city. I can't become a magician, so I look at those magic buildings, those puppets, and the surprised expressions of the players every day. He is very satisfied
.
He didn't even know what he could do with me after leaving Alchemy City. It's just that life here is difficult and he has to run around every day, so he has given up on studying magic.
“How much does it cost if I buy a house
"You can customize it. It can be built in one day. If you pay a deposit, you don't have to spend money waiting for this day. The person selling the house will arrange it for you. If you don't ask for a location, two million gold coins will be enough. , if you want to build a nice house and have a good location, in addition to nine million gold coins, you also need to pay for some special materials. Boom.
"So expensive" Boom
Salin was mentally prepared. I'm still a little confused by this number. Does it cost so much to just buy a house
"It's not expensive. If the five of you rent a house, the annual rent will be at least several tens of thousands of gold coins. Buy a house. When you sell it, less than 20% of the tax will be deducted. . A house with two million gold coins. Probably only 300,000 gold coins will be deducted. A house with 9 million coins will deduct 1.8 million gold coins from you. The longer you live there, the more cost-effective it will be.
Salin didn't believe this nonsense. The longer you stay, the more expensive it will be. Spending less on the house, but more on other expenses. Eating every day is a problem. In addition, the consumption of magic cores has to be purchased in Alchemy City. Even if the prices here are not deceiving, they will never provide you with ordinary magic cores.
.
This is not a magic question. It was a purely business issue. Salin was a Skocyanian and had a keen intuition about this kind of thing.
