Chapter 172: Regret
Green Bud Month, 6th.
Gaode, who came out of the first-level training room, paid another 20 gold at the counter to extend the use of his training room by forty hours.
The cost is that the deposits that just exceeded three digits three months ago have now fallen to the warning line of 41 gold and 18 silver.
But no matter how difficult the economy was, Gaode never wanted to deduct the fixed expenditure of 10 silver coins a day in the training room.
The good news is that there will be some extra income coming in today.
Gaode, who left the training building, went straight to the small building of the committee.
Swipe the identity plate, enter the building, climb to the second floor, and come to Master Lal's office.
He lightly clicked on the carved wooden door, and the door opened in response the next moment.
As soon as Gothe stepped into the threshold, Master Lar, who was sitting behind the long table in the office room, stood up enthusiastically and led Gothe to the reception area aside.
As if welcoming an honored guest, he personally picked up the kettle and brewed a cup of fragrant black tea for Gaode.
Gaode took the exquisite porcelain cup painted with complicated patterns and took a symbolic sip, which meant that he found that the fragrance of tea bloomed in his mouth instantly, and the taste was mellow yet delicate, with a hint of sweetness.
The taste was even better than the tea he drank at Jelika's house.
“Good tea.” Gao De’s thoughts were running through his mind, but he already praised it politely.
"Queen's Black Tea, a top quality product worth 3 gold per pound." Master Lal introduced.
Such high-standard treatment made Gothe frown secretly.
He does not think that Master Lar, as a member of the academy, needs to be so polite and enthusiastic towards him.
I don’t even think that it was my own achievements that impressed Master Lal.
As the saying goes, showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
Gaode had vague bad thoughts, but he didn't show them at all on his face, but looked like he was flattered.
Master Lal glanced at Gothe. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a money bag from his arms and handed it to Gothe.
Gaode took the purse and felt something was wrong as soon as he weighed it.
He untied the drawstring and looked inside again, his eyes filled with golden light.
A money bag is full of gold coins. Although the number cannot be seen at a glance, it is obviously not just 20 gold coins, but about 100 gold coins.
“Commissioner Lal, this?” Gothe said hesitantly.
According to the original transaction details, before returning the 'Water of Ascension', Master Lar only needed to pay himself 20 gold coins every year.
Mage Lal said a little unnaturally:
“There was a little problem with our last transaction.”
“Trev took the Spirit Ascension Pill After water, I still failed to be promoted to level 1 mage, but I have accumulated some foundation and experience. I will definitely succeed if I try again. So I still need 1 water of spiritual ascension."
"Look, Can you transfer the share of the spiritual water that I promised you back to me directly?”
"But don't worry, when you become a third-level mage apprentice and prepare to be promoted to a first-level mage, I will definitely try my best to help you apply for the water of spiritual ascension from the academy."
"I've heard that, you Together with Youlan and Jelika, they were named the top three geniuses among new students this year.”
“With this foundation and my help, applying for the Spiritual Water will definitely not be a problem.”
< br>Master Lal rubbed his hands awkwardly, as if he was still a little embarrassed about this matter.
When Gothe heard this, there was no expression on his face.
Seeing Gothe's attitude, Master Lar quickly added: "There are 100 gold here. The [obtaining a magic pet] spell formula and potion given to you last time are worth about 100 gold on the market."
“200 gold buys a portion of the Spiritual Water. I am very sincere and will not trick you.”
Gothe suddenly smiled and responded: “Lal What did the committee member say? As a committee member of the academy, how could you cheat a student? "
"Since you need this spiritual water, I can just transfer it to you. I still use it now anyway? If you don’t get on it, there’s no rush. As for this, there’s no need.”
With a smile on his face, Gao De handed the money bag in his hand back to Master Laer, "Consider this as the student's filial piety to you."
"This is not acceptable!" Commissioner Laer saw Gao De like this and said, "But he was not happy. Instead, he had a slightly stern expression on his face, pretending to be righteous. "As a member of the college, how could I take advantage of such a student?"
He said. As he spoke, he pushed back Gothe's hand holding the money bag "slightly angrily".
The smile on Gothe's face stagnated slightly, and then he explained "sincerely": "Commissioner Lal misunderstood what I meant."
"I want to say that as a student, the most important thing is that I The most important thing is to learn and practice magic. If possible, Master, just give me one or two rare magic formulas.”
After hearing Gothe's words, Master Lar's slightly angry expression softened. He thought for a moment, nodded slightly and said, "I do master some rare magic tricks, but as you know, most magic formulas are not allowed to be passed on to outsiders."< br>
This is a rule. You can quietly ignore it in private, but you must abide by it openly.
"However, there is a rare spell formula that belongs to me and can be passed on to you."
Speaking, Master Lar stood up and opened a secret lock in the room. He took out a brochure with a brand new cover from the small cabinet where he lived, and handed it to Gothe.
"You can only learn it by yourself, and you are not allowed to spread it to others." At the same time, he explained as usual.
"As for these 100 gold coins, you should keep them. There are still many places where money is needed in the academy."
"I understand, thank you Commissioner Lar." Gothe took the book and read it. He excerpted the original transcription spell formula and said "thank you".
“It’s nothing, let’s make the deal like this.” Master Lal was in a good mood after settling the matter that was bothering him.
Gaode immediately said goodbye and left knowingly.
After Gothe left, the smile on Master Lar’s face disappeared instantly and became gloomy. He was silent for a long time before murmuring:
"They've all taken the initiative to ask for more benefits from me. They shouldn't have done one thing overtly and another secretly to report on me."
He sighed again: "Trev, for you. I don’t want to lose your face. Use such methods to deal with a new student. Don’t let me down again.”
Thinking about it, Master Lal curled his lips again, a little depressed, “This. The kid also has some skills, and he has made a name for himself in the academy, so I don’t want to send him away too casually.
But even if he doesn’t have any skills, after all, the tutor is the same guy as He Xi, and I can’t do anything about it. Too much.”
“Fortunately, this is a guy who knows how to advance and retreat, and is not stubborn.”
After leaving the committee, Gao De was in a very calm mood.
Firstly, when he started trading with Master Lal, he was mentally prepared for the other party to "cheat".
Later, after learning from Shadi that Master Lal’s apprentice failed to be promoted, she had already expected this day to come.
The second thing is that he understands that even if Sapo Wuguan and Master Lal fight hard, the final result will most likely be that he still doesn't get what he deserves, and he will be resented by Commissioner Lal in the future.
Although Commissioner Lal will lose his reputation, he will not suffer any loss in the end.
Therefore, when Master Lal regretted his decision, his first reaction was not to be angry, but to think about how to maximize his interests.
The purpose of retreating just now is for this.
As expected, on the basis of 100 gold coins, I got another rare magic formula.
In a flash of thought, Gothe had already opened the spell formula given by Commissioner Lal.
