Chapter 30 I Want to Learn Magic!
Rodman glanced at Enrique, whose face was full of stubbornness, and sighed deeply helplessly.
My little son has grown up, and he has begun to know how to refute his father's words.
"You really don't want to go?" Rodman asked in a deep voice.
"No!" Enrique responded loudly. "What's the point of learning carpentry with my uncle? I'm going to learn magic!"
"But you don't have the talent for magic. Didn't the magician Musotto in the town tell you that before?" Rodman continued to persuade.
"Hmph! He's a liar!" Enrique recovered the newspaper he was only holding in his hand twice. "It's all said above, anyone can actually learn magic! Why can't I?"
Rodman looked at the "Candela Daily" in Enrique's hand with a headache, and smiled wryly in his heart.
The damned Xu Yi, the damned Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, insisted on making this damn statement that "everyone is gifted with magic", which made Enrique, who had already given up on magic, come back to life again. Wanted to run off and learn magic again.
Magician Musotto made it very clear before that Enrique didn't even have any magical talent at all. He didn't even learn the simplest magic for a week, so how could he become a truly powerful magician? ?
However, after seeing the report in this newspaper, Enrique seemed to have obtained some true god's will. He firmly believed that he insisted on clamoring that he would also learn magic, and he was unwilling to follow Rodman's arrangement. Learn carpentry from his uncle.
From Rodman's point of view, what's the use of learning magic?
Even if what Xu Yi and his Xinfei Chamber of Commerce said is true, Enrique really has the hope of learning magic. But since the magician Musotto said that he actually doesn't have any magical talent at all. Then Enrique barely learned it. It is also impossible to become a powerful magician.
And not being able to become those advanced and powerful magicians, in Rodman's view, is of no use at all.
Instead of wasting time on this, it is better to learn the craft of carpentry. If you can master this craft, not to mention making a fortune in the future, at least you can eat and drink for the rest of your life.
However, Enrique pouted and listened to Rodman for a long time, but only showed disdain.
"Dad, you are out of date! Who told you that you are useless if you don't become a senior magician?" Enrique clapped the newspaper on his hand vigorously. "Look. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been recruiting a large number of low-level magicians from the newspapers, and the requirements are not high at all. And you see what is written on it. After entering the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the minimum salary is 20 gold coins per month. It's not much better than being a carpenter with my uncle."
"Really?" Rodman looked at the newspaper again, but because he couldn't read at all, he naturally didn't know if what Enrique said was true.
However, he had heard people say before that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had always paid very high wages for the workers under his name. If it was a magician, it was only natural that the wages would be a little higher than that of ordinary people. It shouldn't be surprising that there are more than twenty gold coins a month.
"Well, it's great to join the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce after learning it. But Enrique, first of all, whether you can learn it will be a problem, and the more important question is, where to learn it?"
"To..." Enrique was stunned, unable to answer for a while.
Although I heard that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has obviously established a Xinfei Academy in itself, which specializes in teaching ordinary people about magic machinery and magic, but the Principality of Standing where the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is located is far away from the central province of the Candela Empire where they are now. This ordinary small village is more than two thousand kilometers away, how could Enrique go to study.
After thinking for a while, Enrique squeezed his fist hard and shouted: "I want to go to the Principality of Standing!"
Rodman looked at him silently.
After a while, Enrique lowered his head slumped.
Because he knows very well that this is impossible.
Rodman's family is just an ordinary peasant family in the Candela Empire. Although in recent years, due to the vigorous promotion of the magic industry within the empire, Rodman, his wife, and Enrique's eldest brother are all in the factory. They found a job, but their wages were far from comparable to those of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the sum of them barely exceeded 20 gold coins a month.
Although the money is enough to greatly change their family's life, at least they no longer have to worry about filling their stomachs, and even have some surplus, but these surpluses cannot support Enrique to travel more than 2,000 kilometers away Studied in the Principality of Standing.
Besides, Enrique is only thirteen years old this year. Although he is considered sensible, how could Rodman let him leave home alone to go so far away.
And if someone accompanied him, the cost would be even more terrible, and the Rodman family could not afford it anyway.
"It would be great if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was in our Candela Empire..." Enrique couldn't help complaining.
Rodman sighed and smiled wryly in his heart.
Yes, it would be great if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was in the empire.
I heard that because of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the living conditions of the people in the Kingdom of Lampari where it was located before and the Duchy of Standing where it is now are countless times better than before. Not only do ordinary people not need to worry about their livelihoods, they can even have Use the extra money to pursue a better life.
If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had appeared in the Candela Empire, or simply appeared near here, then their family might have had a better life because of the relationship of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
And Enrique can easily enter Xinfei Academy to study, maybe he really has the opportunity to realize his dream of becoming a magician.
However... the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not here, but more than two thousand kilometers away, so all these fantasies... can only be fantasies.
Rodman patted Enrique on the shoulder and sighed: "Enrique, Dad is not capable of sending you to such a far place to learn magic. Dad is sorry for you, you...you are obedient, okay?"
Enrique pursed his lips and looked at Rodman with a tired expression. The stubborn expression on his face had long since disappeared, and he just nodded slightly. Oh let out a cry.
Looking at Enrique with a disappointed face. Rodman shook his head helplessly. Turn around and walk out the door.
Although there was still more than an hour before the time to go to work in the afternoon, he didn't want to stay at home to face Enrique, he just wanted to escape first.
As soon as he walked out of the house, three figures walked towards him quickly.
"Elder Adonis, Chief Bradley, why are you here?" Rodman asked in amazement. "What's matter?"
After that, he took another look at the stranger next to the elder and the village head, and found that this person was not from the village, and he looked about thirty years old from the outside. With a capable temperament, he looks like a civil servant of the mayor.
Elder Adonis, who is already sixty-seven years old this year with a high collar but looks rosy, waved his hand at Rodman with a smile: "Come on, go in and talk."
Rodman returned to the house with the three in doubt.
Enrique, who was sitting in the house with his hair lowered in a daze, couldn't help being stunned when he saw Rodman go and come back, bringing the two highest-ranking people in the village and a stranger with him.
"Hey, Enrique, don't be in a daze, go and pour water for the guests, hurry up." Rodman waved his hand at him and ordered.
"No need. Come back." Elder Adonis called Enrique back, and then called him in front of him. Looking at him up and down, he asked with a smile, "Enrique, are you in your teens this year?"
Enrique glanced at him inexplicably, and then looked at Rodman with a questioning look.
"If the elder asks you, answer honestly." Rodman scolded.
"Oh. Elder, I am thirteen years old."
"Thirteen? Well, not bad." Elder Adonis turned to look at the stranger. "Your Excellency Sandy, do you think he is qualified?"
The stranger named Sandy looked at Enrique with a smile and asked, "Are you willing to learn magic?"
Both Enrique and Rodman were taken aback.
They were still discussing this question just now, why did someone suddenly come to ask?
"I……"
"Elder, village head, what's going on?" Rodman interrupted Enrique's answer and asked two acquaintances.
"Hehe, that's what happened..." Village Chief Bradley took the words with a smile. "Rodman, do you know about the Chimera Chamber of Commerce?"
"Of course I know, this is the largest chamber of commerce in our empire!" Rodman replied immediately. "But... does this have anything to do with Enrique?"
"Yes." Village Chief Bradley nodded. "The Chimera Chamber of Commerce recently plans to select some places within the empire to set up a basic magic academy, and one of them is in the city of Ainoy. This academy will not only recruit students from the city, but also recruit students from various villages and towns outside the city. Our village Now there are five quotas, so Elder Adonis and I thought that your kid has always wanted to learn magic, so we came to ask him if he would like to go."
"The Chimera Chamber of Commerce opened a basic magic academy?" Rodman scratched his head, feeling confused. "Why did you find it on my kid? Could it be that his magical talent is actually very high?"
"No, this has nothing to do with magic talent. These basic magic academies run by the Chimera Chamber of Commerce recruit ordinary people to learn magic, and it has nothing to do with magic talent."
"Huh?" Rodman looked at Enrique in surprise.
Enrique was stunned, turned around and brought over the Candela Daily that he had left on the cabinet.
"Isn't this what the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been talking about? Does the Chimera Chamber of Commerce want to do the same?"
"Yes, this is a project officially promoted by the Chimera Chamber of Commerce and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Kandela Empire, so you don't have to suspect that there is a problem." Sandy said seriously. "Mr. Rodman, I am the person sent by the Chimera Chamber of Commerce to temporarily be in charge of the establishment of the Ainoy Basic Magic Industry Academy. If you have any questions, you can ask me."
After staying for a while, Rodman turned his head and glanced at Enrique, who looked expectant and excited, swallowed, and asked Sandy, "I have a very important question to ask."
"Excuse me."
"Do you need to charge money to enter this academy?"
"Of course, we are not doing it for free. It is normal to charge tuition fees." Shandi replied with a smile.
Rodman's heart sank, he paused, and asked hesitantly, "Then... can I ask how much I have to pay?"
Sandy smiled, and seemed to know what Rodman was thinking very clearly.
"I don't think you need to be too scrupled about this. Because the reason why our Chamber of Commerce and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will cooperate to promote this plan is to cultivate more talents in the magic industry in the empire, so part of the tuition fee will be charged, but Because of the strong support of our Chimera Chamber of Commerce, the price is very cheap."
Rodman and Enrique stared at him immediately.
Sandy smiled and stretched out three fingers.
"It only needs thirty gold coins a year. How about it? Mr. Rodman, do you think it is acceptable?"
Rodman's eyes lit up instantly, and under Enrique's nervous gaze, he responded loudly: "Of course! Of course it is acceptable!" (To be continued...)
