Magus Tech Chapter 237: Salt and Fire Tavern
In the blink of an eye, more than an hour later.
Li Cha and Gero left White Rock Tower Academy and appeared in a tavern in White Rock City.
This tavern called "Salt and Fire" is a very common one in the entire Baishi City - it is not too big or too small, the food is not bad, the service is not bad, and everything is average. The main reason why Li Cha and Gero chose it was that it was not far from Baishi Tower Academy, and there was no need to walk a lot. After all, the two of them were just going to take a short break and have lunch by the way.
Because of the daytime, there were not many people in the lobby of the tavern, and the occupancy rate was only about 30%. Most of the people were sitting scattered, eating in a deserted manner. In the corner, a circle of people sat around a long table, chatting and drinking loudly, which was the only excitement.
In the middle of the hall, there is a high platform. Sitting on the high platform was a woman in her thirties, dressed in emerald green clothes, with an ordinary face. At this time, the other party was plucking a harp, and at the same time, he was singing something in his mouth, with a gentle rhythm, which sounded relaxing, but that was all.
Compared to the professional artists in big taverns, women's playing and singing are a bit old-fashioned, and because they are not proficient, they often get out of tune. Fortunately, most of the taverns don't know how to appreciate it, and no one booed.
In the corner, Li Cha and Ge Luo sat at a square table, Li Cha was thinking about something while listening to the voice of the woman playing and singing on the high platform.
I have to say that through talking with Bucky, I got a lot of information, which needs to be digested.
First of all, it is the identity of the girl Ruth. According to what Bucky said, the other party is the kind of real princess who has never been angry or tired since she was a child. that bad.
The other party's country is a country of wizards, so the reason why the other party came to White Rock Tower Academy is probably not to become a wizard, but to learn more about the wizarding world.
The extent of the other party's wealth is also exaggerated. They can even lend money to others to the extent that they can't repay it and use their body as collateral. In comparison, a prince like Ge Luo is simply a parallel importer—after all, when he was in Cuijin City, Ge Luo emptied all his savings, and it was less than 10,000 gold coins.
Then there is Ruth's country.
According to Bucky, the reason why Ruth is so rich is entirely because the country she lives in is the legacy of a former empire, which should be true.
According to the knowledge I learned from reading books in the library these days, there were indeed several wizarding empires integrating wizards, kingship, and churches on the east coast before, and they had carried out a long-term black reign of terror.
A series of accidents happened later, which led to the split of several empires, and it became the current state where there are many small countries on the east coast and dense wizard organizations.
Because of this, relatively powerful wizarding organizations like the Whitestone Tower are highly vigilant against kingdoms that have the potential to breed new empires, lest the former black rule come again. Macbeth's assassination of the king in Puy Egypt is an obvious example.
I just don’t know that Ruth’s country is specifically the remnant of that empire. According to records, the oldest one seems to be called the “Balentenon Empire”, while the most recent one is called the “Black Spirit Empire” empire".
Besides, the situation where the ancient ring was burned in the library earlier today should also be taken seriously.
The abnormal shape of the ancient ring is very likely to be related to the secret of the White Rock Tower that Mullen said, but what is the secret of the White Rock Tower?
Thinking about this, the tavern staff walked over after serving the guests at the previous table, and handed the two menus to Li Cha and Gero respectively.
Li Cha withdrew his thoughts and looked at the menu.
Gro next to him made a sound and ordered: "Give me a piece of white bread, a piece of broth, a piece of fried mushrooms, a piece of lettuce, and a piece of good beef... Well, this one is a bit expensive, so it's worth it." Alright, let's take the first few."
"Yes." The man nodded in response, slightly contemptuously, then turned to look at Li Cha.
Li Cha made a sound, but it was simpler than Gero: "A piece of white bread, a small dish of jam, and a serving of mushroom soup."
The buddy's eyes couldn't help becoming more contemptuous, thinking that he might have encountered two poor ghosts.
Li Cha ignored it, handed the menu back, and put a silver coin on it: "Tip."
The buddy's eyes lit up instantly, from contempt to respect. In any case, it is the uncle who gives the tip. As long as the tip is high, drinking a glass of water can serve you well.
Of course, Li Cha did not give tips for nothing, he made a request: "The bread should be fresh, not overnight, the jam should not be adulterated for me, and the mushroom soup should not be served until it is cold. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" The clerk nodded vigorously, took the menu and tip and left.
Not long after, the food that Li Cha and Ge Luo asked for was brought up, Li Cha started to eat, and continued to think about what he had been thinking while eating.
Gero started talking.
"Your Excellency Richard." Gro looked at Richard and asked, "What do you think of Professor April's "Apprenticeship Introduction"?"
Li Cha looked up, saw Gero, and asked, "What do you think?"
"What about me..." Gero said, "I think I should take an elective study. After all, I haven't even completed three life remodelings. I just read the book but can't understand it. If someone guides me, I may be able to quickly A little bit. And the course will start next week, so it’s too late to sign up now.”
"If that's the case, then there's nothing else to say~ IndoMTL.com~ let's study." Richard said, "Haven't you already made up your mind?"
"Ah... but the money..." Glorio hesitated.
"What's wrong with the money?" Li Cha asked, "Is the fee for the elective courses not enough?"
"No no." Gero shook his head, "I mean, I may not be able to repay the money I borrowed from you."
"When I helped you get on the giant ship in Cuijin City, which high-grade crystal coin did I pay?" Li Cha asked.
"Well, yes." Gero nodded, "Now you and I both know that a high-grade crystal coin is almost a thousand gold coins, and I am only worth nearly a thousand gold coins in total. If I want to choose some high-fee I won't give you the money for the time being, so I can only find a way slowly, so..."
"It's okay." Li Cha said lightly, he really didn't take this kind of thing seriously, "Take it as my initial investment for you, to help you become a wizard. If you still have any difficulties in the future, You can also borrow money from me, as long as the amount is not large, I can lend it to you. Wait until you become a real wizard, and then return it to me."
"Become a real wizard?" Gro's eyes flickered, a little confused, "It feels so far away, and I'm not sure if I can be promoted to a second-level apprentice in three years."
"Then you have to work hard."
"Uh, okay." Gero spoke and continued to eat. At the same time, I made up my mind to study hard. Otherwise, I'm sorry that he abandoned his status as a prince to come here to endure hardships, and I'm even more sorry for His Excellency Richard's help to him all the time.
Then, he heard a strange noise behind him, followed by...
"Poof!"
Ge Luo felt a strong force coming, and before he could react, Li Cha pressed his hand into the broth bowl in front of him.
