After passing through the crowd of people who were looking up at him, Benjamin finally saw the famous mage.
With a hearty smile, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes slowly walked down the stairs and waved to the crowd, giving him a subtle sense of "comrades, thank you for your hard work." The surrounding mages who were doing their own thing also gathered around and exchanged greetings with the middle-aged man in turn with expressions of admiration.
Benjamin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He has also seen the coldness of this group of mages. To be able to have so many mages surrounding him like a star chaser, this person's influence is a bit big.
"Thank you very much for your willingness to attend my dinner party." Finch looked at the mages around him and nodded frequently, "I hope everyone can have a good time tonight. When the meeting is over, each mage can go to the doorman and receive five Ten gold coins, consider it a little token of my gratitude to everyone."
Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers from the crowd.
Benjamin couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead. No wonder everyone admires him so much. If a God of Wealth descends from the sky, who can resist paying homage to him
How rich is he? Fifty gold coins per person, and there were hundreds of mages present, which was an expense of nearly ten thousand, but he threw it away without blinking an eye. This is no longer a wealthy person, but a wealthy person, right
Being as rich as a country is probably what it means.
"Is Master Finch always so generous in his actions?" He couldn't help but ask Jack beside him.
Jack nodded and said, "That's natural. Not just as a mage, but in the entire Freden's potion industry, Master Finch is the one who stands at the top. Half of the potion shops in the country are owned by him. Yes, this little money is nothing to him."
Well...it turns out he's not just a mage, but also a boss. No wonder when it came out, it looked like it was giving out red envelopes to everyone during the Chinese New Year.
Although he was a little embarrassed, he was short-handed and was given fifty gold coins for no reason. Benjamin couldn't complain anymore, so he accepted this setting calmly.
While he was communicating with Jack, Finch also walked into the crowd with a glass of champagne, chatting with groups of mages, and the whole scene suddenly became lively.
Soon, he started talking about Benjamin and the "Viper" mercenary group.
"Long time no see. I heard that you have completed many big tasks and your reputation is getting bigger and bigger. It's not easy!" He held up the wine glass and walked over. He said this while toasting with several people in turn and drank in one gulp. .
"It's all thanks to adults' support, otherwise we wouldn't be where we are today." Jack said with a smile.
Finch shook his head, patted Jack's shoulder, and then turned his attention to Benjamin.
"This Your Excellency is a bit unfamiliar. Is he the new mage recruited by your mercenary group?" he asked.
Immediately, Benjamin also put on a standard social smile, stretched out his hand, and said: "Hello, my name is Benjamin. I am a new mage in Riley City. Nice to meet you."
Finch raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand, and shook hands with Benjamin: "So you are a new friend. Welcome to Riley City. If you encounter any difficulties, just come to me and I will help you if I can. It will definitely help.”
Hearing this, Benjamin smiled again and said: "Thank you for your kindness. I have just come here. I am not familiar with many things and I am still exploring. If there is need, I will definitely come to you."
Facing this "God of Wealth" who was covered in golden light, Benjamin didn't really want to ask him for help.
It's true that he needs money and spells, but he has the hands and feet, so it's not like he can't earn them. For some reason, he felt that Master Finch was more like a symbol of superiority than a person in the real world. Even if he had questions, it would be more reliable for Benjamin to ask Jack next to him.
After such exchanges of greetings, Finch, a busy man, would definitely not stay any longer. He walked away with the wine glass and continued talking with other mages.
As a result, everyone's attention returned to themselves. Benjamin turned his head, looked at the members of the "Viper" mercenary group, shrugged and smiled.
"Master Finch is such an enthusiastic person." In order not to appear strange, he sighed somewhat against his will.
Jack nodded and said, "Yes." He said it very seriously, and he couldn't tell whether he was sincere or just pretending to be like Benjamin.
"By the way, didn't you say that you can buy mantras and meditation rules with money?" Benjamin threw the matter behind him and immediately asked, "Where can I buy them?"
Jack shrugged and said: "It's all kinds of things. The exchange between mages may depend on luck. For example, the stronghold of the Riley City Mages and Freemasons also has some spells, and the prices are relatively cheap, but There are really few spells there, so don’t force anything.”
Hearing this, Benjamin frowned and said, "That is to say, if you want to get the spell, you still have to rely on luck?"
"The spells of advanced magic are like this. There are quite a few of them in the Forbidden Magic Mage Freemasonry, but I suggest you not to buy them. They are all just for show, and no one can use them at all." Jack said helplessly. Explained, "As for low-level magic and mid-level magic, the Mercenary Association has always been collecting them. Generally, when a mage joins the Mercenary Association, they will be given a lot of low-level magic spells. Even better, they have to complete tasks to exchange for them. .”
… Is it the Mercenary Association again
Although this organization has always been secretive, it is a very ancient existence on this continent after all. It has been passed down from generation to generation and has accumulated a lot of heritage.
"Are there any restrictions on a mage becoming a mercenary?" Thinking of this, Benjamin asked.
"Why, are you excited too? Do you want to try our mercenary group?" Jack patted him on the shoulder and said, "I think you are quite interesting. After the meeting, we can go and have a try. If you If you are good at it, you can join us.”
Benjamin laughed dumbly.
"No... I still have some mage friends who came with me. I thought maybe I could build a mercenary group myself, so I don't plan to cause you any more trouble." He replied.
"That's it." Jack also smiled and shook his head, then said, "It's not that difficult to establish a mercenary group. You just need to prove that you have the ability to complete the task. To be honest, as long as you handle the tasks related to the task Okay, don't disappear for no reason after accepting a mission. The mercenary association generally doesn't bother to care about you. The important thing is how you run it. Of course, if you just want to exchange for spells, you can just pat your butt and leave after you get it. , and no one will stop you."
While listening, Benjamin nodded thoughtfully.
He has also heard about the freedom of the Mercenary Association. Just look at the mercenaries who look like homeless people surrounding the association. You can tell that the association basically doesn't care about anything. Joining the Mercenary Association will not impose restrictions on them.
Therefore, thinking of this, he smiled and said to Jack: "Thank you for your advice."
"Have you decided to start a group?" Jack asked.
"Yeah." Benjamin nodded.
"In that case, do me a favor." Jack hurriedly said, "When you formed the group, tell the people in the association that we introduced you."
Benjamin was puzzled: "Why?"
Jack replied: "There are rewards. If you introduce even a mage to join the association, the introducer will get some benefits. You see I have said so much, so just help me."
Hearing this, Benjamin could only let out a wry smile and nodded helplessly.
"Don't worry, I will definitely tell you your names."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh. No wonder it has been so prosperous for so long. The Mercenary Association does a really good job of marketing, and even brings in people to get kickbacks. If you have achieved this, can you continue to prosper
