"Such a simple question, let me tell you, the magic scroll cannot replace the magician himself in casting spells, but it can be a beneficial supplement to the magician. In addition, if the maker has strong strength, he can also make a magic scroll. A magic scroll is used by a person who knows nothing about magic, so the most important thing about a magic scroll is convenience and speed. At critical moments, a magic scroll released just right can save lives."

"Hehe." A sly smile appeared on Flanner's face: "Then according to your statement, the magic scroll made by my group leader, Magician Ryan, is useless."

"That's not the case." Lear said with his fingers: "If he could make a third-level magic scroll, it would be pretty good if he completed it completely independently. However, he consumed too many materials and designed it. It’s hard to say whether such a complex combination of magic arrays can be effective in actual use.”

Flanner asked again: "Are the magic powers released by magic apprentices and magisters the same?"

Lear replied: "Of course it's different, but there is no comparison between a magic apprentice and a magician. One of them is a beginner, while the other is almost at the pinnacle of magic."

Flanner pressed forward step by step: "But it is undeniable that every magician grows up from a magic apprentice."

Lear was unmoved: "That's what I say, but there are as many magic apprentices as there are magisters on the entire continent."

"I admit that not all magic apprentices can be promoted to magisters." Flanner followed Leer's tone and said, just when Leer thought he was convinced by him, Flanner changed his words and spoke Another thing, this is a past event that is familiar to all residents of Free Paradise,

Many years ago, two principals of a small chamber of commerce each brought the same amount of funds to operate for a year. The one who made the most profit among them would inherit the position of the elderly president of the chamber of commerce.

One of them is about fifty years old and has been working hard in this industry for decades. He still purchases the same types of goods that he has purchased every year for decades as usual. However, he relies on years of experience and training. His eloquence severely lowered the purchase price. With this, he earned tens of thousands more gold coins this year. This amount was equivalent to the profit of the entire chamber of commerce last year.

When the older boss proudly talked about his achievements to the old president, he found that the old president told him with a wry smile that his competitors had made a hundred times more profits than him, and Now that he has bought his own chamber of commerce for three times the price, he can no longer decide who will be the president.

The other boss is only thirty years old. In terms of experience and connections, there is no way he can compare with the previous boss. The reason why he achieved a hundred times more profits than others is because he did not follow the steps that others have gone through. path, but keenly seize the fleeting business opportunities,

After receiving a shocking news through a certain channel, the chief executive boldly took action and used the capital as a deposit to frantically absorb existing textile wool and other raw materials in Free Paradise and surrounding cities, and agreed on three Bring the remaining balance to pick up the goods after a few months, and in a few months it will be the time when the new wool from the Nantaro Prairie is shipped to the south. Naturally, those old wool cannot be sold. Now some people are paying half the price for new wool. Of course, the cargo owners are willing to buy them all. The only two requirements of the other party are to pay a deposit first and to pick up the goods three months later. This is normal. Anyway, even if the opponent breaches the contract, it is impossible to get the deposit back. They There is no loss,

In less than two months, the Nantalun Prairie suffered a severe snowstorm last winter. The news came that 90% of the herdsmen’s cattle and sheep were frozen to death. Without the source of raw materials, those workshops that spun wool were Without the ability to start work, the orders they signed could not be completed. The penalties for breach of contract were enough to bankrupt those merchants. In this case, the value of last year's old wool that the supervisor had bought in advance suddenly doubled.

That year, this young man monopolized 70% of the wool supply in the south. How could the profits be measured in gold coins

Master Lear knew that the main character in the story Flanner told was the legendary business genius Chilaviv. This was one of the ten most talked-about stories in his legendary life.

The thirty-year-old apprentice who was standing aside with his hands hanging in silence showed fanatical admiration in his eyes when he heard Flanner tell this story. Lille remained silent after hearing this story. Chilaviv just When he bought the wool, many businessmen said he was stupid, but subsequent developments made everyone shut up.

Flanner's meaning is clearly revealed through this story: Do you dare to say that Ryan's actions must be a waste? If there were no such attempts, how would the first magic scroll be made

"You are right." Lear suddenly said this to Flanner, then he stood up and bowed to Ryan, saying in a very sincere tone: "I apologize to you, young magician, Everyone should have his own style. Everyone has the right to innovate and choose his own path. As long as he does not affect others, others have no right to make irresponsible remarks and demand others in their own way. It’s not right.”

Lear's frankness obviously surprised Ryan and the others. Lane didn't take what Lear just said to heart, but now the other party actually apologized to him. This made Ryan feel good about Master Lear, and he quickly turned sideways. Avoiding Li Er's bow, he said: "Master Li Er is too polite. It is a dream to get master's guidance."

Flanner also hurriedly came over and helped Master Lille. A small disturbance disappeared, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became harmonious.

Lear was about to speak, but unexpectedly his stomach made a "gurgling" sound, which made Ryan and the others laugh. Lear's face was slightly red. Then he remembered that he hadn't eaten dinner yet. He took a few steps to When he went over, he saw that his portion of sauerkraut stewed sausage had already cooled down, so he ordered the thirty-year-old apprentice: "Jamie, I'm hungry, and I think a few of my friends are too. Go and cook for us." Let’s get some late night snacks.”

The thirty-year-old apprentice whom Lille called "Jamie" agreed and walked out quickly. After a while, he came back and brought two servants to serve Lille and Ryan and the four of them brought steaming sauerkraut stewed sausages.

Lear smiled and said to Ryan and the others: "Come and try this dish. This is his favorite food."

"He, who is that?" Ryan asked strangely,

"Haha." Flanner said with a smile: "This is Chilaviv's favorite food. It is said that it was because he once worked as a personal attendant for a rich man for a whole year. Chilaviv was still very rich at that time. Poor, this dish is the best food he can eat, maybe for this reason, even if Chilaviv later became the richest man in mainland China, he still loved this most."

"Yes, yes." Lille also said with a smile: "But now Mr. Chilaviv is a person with status after all, so although the name is the same, the raw materials used, cooking techniques, etc. are completely different, hehe , this sausage is no different from what Mr. Chilaviv usually eats."

"Oh, then we have to taste it." Hearing Lille reveal the secret in a low voice, Flanner moved his index finger, immediately picked up the knife and fork, cut off a piece of sausage, and blew it a few times. After eating it, he put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly. Ryan and Allendo also tasted it respectively. The meat was indeed tender and the taste was indeed delicious. No wonder Mr. Chilaviv has always liked to eat it. The man named James Mi's apprentices were very meticulous in their work. In addition to Lille and Ryan, they each had a sauerkraut stewed sausage, and even Xiaobai also had a large portion of barbecued beef taron.

The discovery of this detail made Flanner look at Jamie deeply, but he didn't say anything.

The four of them chatted while eating, and the topic slowly turned back to magic scrolls. Master Lier has been making magic scrolls for many years. This is the first time that Ryan has seen the techniques used. He is also very curious in his heart. How powerful is the scroll made with this technique

Even Ryan only ensured that there was no problem with the scroll he made, but he didn't know exactly what the effect would be after using it. After all, the fireball spell was far more powerful than the magic missile, and it couldn't be used indiscriminately without a special testing site.

So at Lear's suggestion, the four of them had a midnight snack. Master Lear led the way and walked excitedly to the testing site of the "Magic Hand", while the apprentice named Jamie still followed. later,

The testing site for the Magic Hand is near Master Leer's workplace. It is a separate courtyard. The entire courtyard is a huge building. Walking in, it feels like you are isolated from the outside world. Ryan's heart moved slightly. He was keen. I have noticed the abnormality here. Is there a magic barrier that separates this place from the outside world? This shows that various magic items are often tested here, otherwise there is no need to spend so much effort.

The entire testing ground has everything you need.

Master Lear tested it himself. He stood in the center of the yard, pointed at a large black stone slab twenty meters away and picked up the fireball scroll in his hand. For safety reasons, Master Lear blessed himself with protective flame magic in advance. In order to prevent the scroll from backlash, everything was ready. Master Lear gently tore open the fireball scroll.

The magic circle on the fireball scroll was stimulated and started to work immediately. A ball of flame slowly took shape in Master Lear's hands. Soon, the large ball of flame condensed into a round ball, covering Master Lear's chest. The reflection in front of me is bright red,

"Whoosh." According to Master Lear's wishes, the fireball suspended in the air dragged its long tail and flew to the target twenty meters away.
