I made science magic

"This is the money exchange!"

On the west side of Ieta Harbor, Philip led Linn into a sparkling, extremely luxuriously decorated shop. The floor was paved with pure white marble, as smooth as a mirror, and two majestic hangings hung on the wall.

The head of a gryphon, its sharp eagle eyes fixed on every guest coming in and out.

In the center of the hall is a large incandescent mushroom lamp. This strange, self-illuminating magical plant usually only exists in the darkest caves, mixed with rats, ghouls and other dirty and dangerous creatures.

Together, the price usually ranges from twelve to thirty magic gold coins.

"In addition to exchanging currency, you can also store excess coins here. As long as you show the voucher, you can exchange for the corresponding magic gold coins in any city in the Wizarding Land, but you will have to pay a certain additional storage fee."

Philip continued to speak.

Isn't this the prototype of a bank? It already has the storage function of a bank, but depositing money here not only earns no interest, but also requires additional payments... In this regard, it is more similar to a bank.

Lin En was thinking this way, and soon discovered that the money exchange seemed to be particularly lively today. Hundreds of people were sparsely crowded in the hall, seeming to be arguing about something.

Moreover, he actually knew these people, they were none other than Laud and his sailors.

"Take all your garbage away. We don't accept black ore here, and we don't accept copper coins either!"

A middle-aged man in a gray robe with a copper badge on his chest shouted impatiently at Lauder and others. When he saw Philip walking in, his face immediately changed.

His expression put on a smile that made people feel like spring breeze, he pushed away several sailors who were blocking the way, and greeted happily.

"Ah... it's Professor Philip. It's really rare. Why are you free to come here today?"

"I haven't seen you for a while, Albert. It seems that you found a very good job after graduation." Philip introduced the two of them with a smile.

Albert, a graduate of the ninth batch of students from Ietta Harbor, is an official wizard who specializes in elements and shaping.

"As for this one, he is the new Olympiad professor of Iyeta College - Your Excellency Linn!" Philip pointed at Linn and said.

"Good morning, Professor Lin En, I heard from the sailors in the tavern last night that you led them to defeat the whirlpool called [Eye of Death] in the Sea of ​​Mist. That must be a very profound magic." Ai.

Bert boasted and said, not having any contempt for Lynn just because she looked young.

The professors at Iyetta Academy are usually three-ring wizards with profound knowledge in a certain field. The younger they are, the higher their magical talent is, and the more likely they are to become a noble wizard in the future.

"Good morning, Mr. Albert, I am here to exchange some coins." Lin En said politely, and then took out twelve Secas gold coins, twenty-seven silver, and eleven coppers.

All the property he had on him was looted from the two bishops who were killed in Harbor Town.

"Copper coins can't be redeemed, right?" Lin En thought about what the other party said before, and then took away the dozen copper coins.

"Ahem... Of course there is no such situation, it's just that it would be more troublesome to convert the value of copper coins." Albert shook his head in embarrassment, and used [Mage's Hand] to take away the coins without waiting for Linn to move.

Now, give it to the assistant on the side and ask the other person to get the corresponding magic gold coins.

Immediately afterwards, Albert complained and explained a few words. Many of these copper coins from the Sekas Empire were of different sizes, and even the copper content was inconsistent. It was obvious that some imperial nobles had secretly cast them on their own, and the conversion was too much.

trouble.

More than ten seconds later, the apprentice assistant came back with an exquisite money bag in his hand.

"Please keep it, Professor Linn." Albert put the money bag into Linn's hand with a smile.

Lin En opened it and took a look, his expression became a little surprised, because the amount inside was quite a lot, exactly twelve gold, twenty-seven silver, and eleven copper.

"Didn't you say that the currency exchange ratio is two to one?" Lin En held the money bag in his hand and asked in confusion.

"That's just the crafting fee for recasting. Since you are a professor at the college, it seems inappropriate to charge this fee." Albert said with a little flattery.

Linn did not reply but picked up a magic gold coin and looked at it. Compared with the currency of the Sekas Empire, the workmanship was much more exquisite. There was a "gold" symbol engraved on the front and the unique mark of the Wizards Council on the back.

, not only that, he also vaguely felt the slight fluctuation of magic power.

This is not just a simple recasting. Linn looked at Albert. Without a suitable reason, he was not prepared to accept such a good offer for nothing.

"My son Alok is currently studying magic at Iyeta College. If possible, please take care of me." Albert said sheepishly.

"So that's it." Lin En nodded and then put the money bag away.

Since the other person works in a gold exchange office, there may be opportunities to deal with the other person again in the future. Sometimes accepting good intentions can also bring you closer to each other.

"If Alok chooses this course, I will pay attention to it, but let me tell you first, my Mathematical Olympiad class is very difficult." Lynn reminded kindly.

"It doesn't matter, my son is never afraid to do difficult things." Albert said confidently, not paying attention to Linn's vigilance.

"That's good!" Lin En nodded assuredly.

Seeing a few people talking seemed very happy. Lauder on the side couldn't help but seize the opportunity and asked. "Lord Albert, do you think these copper coins in our hands are..."

"Then let's change them all!" Albert waved his hands helplessly. He naturally knew that Lauder and Linn crossed the sea together.

Now that Lin En is standing here, this bit of face must still be given, but the relevant handling fees cannot be less...

Under the influence of magic, more than 5,000 copper coins were quickly counted out. As for the copper content, we could only randomly pick a few and test them, and calculate based on the lowest.

About two or three minutes later, Lauder received two thousand exchanged magic copper coins and distributed them immediately.

The expressions of all the sailors and boatmen were about to cry. They looked like migrant workers who had worked hard for a whole year to get reduced wages. No matter how you looked at it, they were pitiful.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin En. If we hadn't happened to meet here, many brothers in the [Ship Gang] would have starved and frozen." Lauder said with emotion.

When he was in Harbor Town, he could be said to be a prominent figure, but when he arrived in Harbor Town, his status plummeted, especially since most of the property he had accumulated over the years was thrown into the maelstrom. Although he did not become a pauper, he was still cut off.

The possibility of him living a comfortable life.

The sailors of the [Ship Gang] were even worse. Some of them only had dozens of copper coins left on their bodies, and the gold exchange office would not exchange them. This was the reason why he insisted on blocking here and wanted Albert to be accommodating.

"There's no need to thank me. Mr. Albert is just following the rules." Linn shook his head, paused, and then asked, "Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Sundays are only a few days a year. It would be impossible for Laud and others to go back in a short time. Hellram would probably not let these people who know the wizarding land leave easily. It is very likely that they would have to ask for help.

Stayed here all my life.

"I'll probably find some transportation work next." Lauder said hesitantly, then looked at Linn and asked again tentatively.

"Your Excellency Lin En, if there is anything you can do to use us, please feel free to give us your instructions."

"If we have a chance to talk." Linn neither agreed nor refused. After a simple reply, he and Phillip walked out of the money exchange.

Lauder lowered his head and glanced at the flame-shaped mark carved on the back of his right hand, his mind racing with thoughts.

Before on the Sea of ​​Mist, he originally wanted to remind Lin En in a subtle way to eliminate the magic mark that might endanger his life, but after experiencing the Maelstrom incident, the thoughts in Lauder's mind changed one hundred and eighty times.

degree of change.

Without the route from Seaport Town to the Land of Wizards, the entire [Boat Gang] has no value to the great wizard Herram.

After losing a large amount of treasure, Lauder knew that they urgently needed to find a new backer, otherwise all three hundred members of the [Ship Gang] would starve to death.

And Lynn is undoubtedly the best choice!

Although the contact lasted only half a month, the ability, talent and methods shown by the other party were enough to frighten Lauder. Not only did he easily find himself hiding in the dark, but he also relied on his own strength to

The force destroyed half of the harbor town!

Lauder has no doubt about the possibility of the other party becoming a great wizard or even a legendary wizard. Now is the time to make the most profit by placing a bet.

It was with this thought in mind that Lauder kept the flame mark on his right hand. His past experiences told him that sometimes life in the hands of others can gain more benefits, and the other party will feel more confident in using it.

But what he didn't expect was that after arriving at the Wizarding Land, Lin En directly joined Iyeta College and became an in-service professor. He had all the reputation, status, and money, but he didn't seem to be able to use them.

Boat Gang] place.

Lauder was very helpless. It seemed pointless for more than 300 of them to force their way in. Obviously, they still lacked a more suitable opportunity to contact Mr. Lin En.

…

On the other side, Linn, who had just separated from Phillip and returned to the room, was thinking about how to earn more magic gold coins.

As a professor at the academy, the salary of five gold coins per month seems to be a lot. It can be enough to support a family of civilians in the Sekas Empire for two or three years, but it is somewhat beyond the means to spend on learning magic, especially alchemy and potions.

This subject can only be described as money flowing like water.

Not to mention that he is also considering buying the [Source of Magic] on the black market, which would require at least hundreds of magic gold coins. This salary is too small in comparison.

Recruiting more apprentices is a way out. The more students there are in Olympiad subjects, the more reasons he will have to apply for various funds from Helllam.

And then secretly embezzling... Bah, it should be said that it is a more reasonable use of those teaching funds.

After all, only by improving his strength as a professor can he teach better.

In addition, it is also a good choice to make some novel gadgets for sale, but this requires finding someone to do the work for him, otherwise it will only delay the time spent on studying magic.

Those halflings might be a good choice.

Lin En was thinking to himself. Yesterday's flight experiment over the city square was still fresh in his mind. He could build a steam plane using such crude materials. That girl named Delia's engineering talent was really high.

Surprisingly, it met his requirements very well.

It shouldn't be difficult to recruit the other party as his apprentice and assistant. Although Delia has no magic talent, she has obtained Hellram's promise.

Is it difficult to fly into the sky without using magic?

While Lin En was thinking about it, he picked up a quill pen and wrote and drew on the open papyrus. This was not studying how to fly into the sky, but preparing for tomorrow's Mathematical Olympiad course.

It would be difficult to maintain the basis of his status as a professor if he messed up in the first class.

Things have to be done one by one.

…

At eight o'clock the next morning, when Linn, who had put on a new uniform, came to the Psychic Academy again, the place had been tidied up, and the signs had been replaced with Olympiad subjects. Apparently Philip had already

He reported his subject name.

A dozen goblins, only 40 centimeters tall, were holding water-soaked cloth strips and immersed themselves in the wall, doing the final cleaning.

These goblins are not as beautiful as the elves in previous fantasy works. On the contrary, they are very ugly. They have wings similar to bat wings on their backs. They are somewhat similar to little devils. Their IQ is only about the level of five or six years old, and they can receive magic.

Guides follow some simple commands.

When Lin En came closer, all these small goblins hid behind the wall, sticking out only one head to secretly look at him with their ruby-like eyes, making a series of purring sounds, and learned to

Human language is still too difficult for their intelligence.

However, Linn didn't have time to pay attention to these magical creatures, because as soon as he opened the door, dozens of pairs of eyes were already looking over. There were more than twenty wizard apprentices sitting in the very spacious classroom.

Since this was a new course and no grading measures were adopted, students of all ages were included in it. Some people even looked older than him, and Jonny was among them.

Although there were not many people coming to class, Linn was very satisfied. He was even prepared for the entire classroom to be empty today.

(PS: This time the two chapters are combined into one post, let’s see if it feels better...I want everything from the new book.)
