Magic Industry Empire - 1149. Chapter 1149

There should have been his last two gold coins and a dozen silver coins in this pocket, but at this time it had become empty and there was nothing left.

Lu Xian struck a few vigorously with his hand, even opened his pocket to take a closer look, but he didn’t even see the shadow of a silver coin, and he suddenly became flustered.

This is only a little money left for him. If it is gone, let alone continue to stay in Doral City, find a suitable job opportunity, and even have no travel expenses to go home.

More importantly, he can’t even pay for the meals of the dozen silver coins in front of him!

The owner of the noodle shop is naturally knowledgeable. Seeing Lu Xian’s appearance, he didn’t know what happened, and the smile on his face suddenly became cold.

“This guest, please pay the bill.”

Lucian pinched his pocket, a trace of cold sweat slipped from his forehead, desperately turning his thoughts in his heart.

How to do?

How to do!

Seeing Lu Xian’s silence, the boss’s face became colder, and his tone of voice also increased slightly.

“This guest, aren’t you planning to eat the king’s meal, are you?”

When the other guests in the noodle restaurant heard the movement, they cast their eyes.

Seeing Lucian’s slightly panicked face, and then looking at the whitewashed clothes on his body, people suddenly burst into laughter.

“Haha, a poor ghost wants to come here to eat and drink, boss, you think you are unlucky.”

“Boss, just look at him and you know that there is no money, I think your bowl of noodles is lost!”

“Hey, seeing that this kid looks upright, how can he be embarrassed to do such a shameful thing? Isn’t he terribly hungry?”

…

Listening to the chattering of the people around, Lu Xian’s face was flushed, but he couldn’t find any words to refute.

The fact is that he can’t find any money to pay the bills, so he can only bear the boss’s cold face and the ridicule of the people around him.

He frowned for a moment, and summoned his courage to speak: “Boss, I…”

As soon as he spoke, the uncle sitting across from him suddenly slapped the table with a slap.

“Here is a gold coin. This young man paid my share in front of him.”

Lucian was startled, the boss glanced at the uncle, wiped his hand, put away the gold coin on the table, and left.

Seeing that there was no excitement to watch, the others laughed twice and stopped paying attention here.

“Thanks…Thank you…” Lu Xi’an looked a little embarrassed, and hurriedly thanked the uncle with excitement.

The uncle waved his hand and glanced at him up and down: “Looking at you, you shouldn’t be someone who eats and drinks, why? I’m in trouble?”

Lu Xi’an calmed down at this time, thought about it carefully, and soon understood.

It must be the wretched short man who bumped into him on the road just now!

He must have taken the opportunity to steal his own money!

Lu Xi’an was extremely regretful, thinking that his parents had told him countless times before leaving the house that he must be careful to guard against thieves outside, but he never thought he was caught.

If it hadn’t been for this kind uncle to relieve himself, he would be lucky to have his boss promised to pay the bill with his work today.

“I…maybe a thief…” Lu Xian explained with a wry smile.

“Yeah… There are many people and thieves in Dolar. I encountered it when I came for the first time. It’s not surprising.” The uncle smiled and nodded, then looked at Lu Xi’an and continued to ask: “You should be a magician?”

Lu Xi’an was suddenly stunned: “How did you tell?”

“I sensed that there are magical fluctuations in you.” Seeing the surprised expression on Lu Xian’s face, the uncle pointed to himself: “Don’t be surprised, I am also a magician, but my level is not high. I am only a man now. It’s only a third-level magician.”

Lucian said, still feeling a little strange.

What he wondered was not how the unknown uncle knew that he was a magician, but rather the “third-level magician” that the uncle said.

Since the “Magician Peace Pact” was announced ten years ago, magicians on the mainland have no longer measured their personal power, but based on the role they can play in the magic industry and their professional skills and knowledge. Make an assessment.

The so-called “three-level magician” evaluation standard has long been thrown aside by the magician union that originally formulated it. No magician would use this standard to determine his own level.

Moreover, under the guidance of the New Flying Merchants Association, in the brand-new magic system that has flourished on the mainland in recent years, the traditional magician rating has long been completely out of date, and it is impossible to accurately describe the ability of a magician.

For example, at Lu Xian’s current level, because he seldom researches those destructive magics, if according to the traditional assessment standards, he may now be a second-level or third-level magician.

But with the brand-new magic theory system education he received at Phillips College, his understanding and mastery of magic far exceeded those of traditional magicians.

As long as he is willing, his combat effectiveness will not be worse than a traditional fifth-level or even sixth-level magician.

It’s just that combat power is a very boring thing for magicians on the mainland now, so not many magicians will study it seriously.

After all, under the restrictions of the “Magician Peace Pact”, sorcerers cannot participate in wars, and naturally they have no way of showing their destructive power.

And even if he participated in the war, in front of all kinds of powerful military magic machines, the personal strength of the magician was not enough to be seen at all, and it would not have any effect.

As for the traditional choice of joining the Chamber of Commerce as a guard, it has long been replaced by various Chamber of Commerce guards equipped with light military magic machinery, and there is no such thing as magicians.

What’s more, instead of joining the Chamber of Commerce as a guard, it is better to join the Chamber of Commerce as a researcher, or engage in other related magic research work, earning only more money than serving as a guard, and it is easier, and there will be no life-threatening.

All in all, it is very rare for this uncle to introduce himself as a “third-level magician”.

At least Lucian encountered it for the first time.

“Why? Not familiar with the concept of the third-level magician?” The uncle seemed to see through Lu Xi’an’s mind and laughed. “Young magicians like you are definitely unfamiliar.”

Lucian smiled reluctantly, not knowing how to respond.

Fortunately, the boss came back at this time and gave the money he found to the uncle, alleviating the embarrassing atmosphere.

The uncle took the money, stood up and beckoned to Lucian.

“Let’s go.”

Lu Xi’an was taken aback for a moment, and looked at the uncle unclearly.

The uncle smiled and said, “Didn’t you get all the money stolen by the thief? You shouldn’t be a local, how do you plan to live your life next?”

Lucian gritted his teeth: “I will try to find a short job and earn some money to go back.”

“So it’s just right. I happen to have a part-time job here who needs some knowledge of magic. For three days, one gold coin a day. If you want to come, just leave.”

Lu Xian hesitated, gritted his teeth and stood up.

The uncle smiled at Lu Xi’an, and said with an earnest tone: “Young people, it’s not a big deal to encounter difficulties temporarily, there is always a solution.”

Lu Xian gave an “um”, and after walking for a while, he couldn’t help but curiously asked: “Uncle, can you ask what kind of job it is? By the way, I haven’t asked your name yet.”

“Just call me Rondo. As for work… I opened a small workshop by myself. I recently received a job to provide a factory for the magic motive of a group of magic fans. I just need to temporarily recruit some magic array mechanics. I’m working. It’s okay for you to draw the elementary wind system power array, right?” The uncle suddenly asked.

“Ah? Ah, no problem… This circle is relatively simple…”

“That’s fine.” Uncle Rondo nodded. “The other party was in a hurry. I originally wanted to recruit some temporary mechanics from the city. I ran into you just when I was eating. You don’t need to be grateful to me. If you can help me complete this batch of goods, don’t delay. , On the contrary, I should thank you more.”

Lu Xian hurriedly waved his hand: “No, no, you not only paid for my meal, but also gave me a job. Anyway, I should thank you.”

Uncle Rondo smiled slightly, and did not argue with Lucian about these matters. He took him besides the noodle restaurant, turned a corner, came to a bus station, and then boarded a bus magic locomotive.

The bus drove all the way out of the city of Doral, and when it had been several kilometers out of the city, it stopped at a small stop next to the highway.

Uncle Rondo took Lucian out of the car again, and walked for a while along a lower road beside the highway, and a small manor appeared in front of him.

“arrive.”

Lucian glanced at the somewhat old manor in front of him, feeling strange.

Why did Uncle Rondo open his own small workshop here?

It is so far from Doral City, and it is not in the industrial area outside Doral City. It is very inconvenient to transport parts and finished products, and it is obviously not a suitable location.

“This is the small manor left to me by my ancestors. To find such a large piece of land in the city and in the industrial area, it would cost a lot more.” Perhaps he saw the doubt in Lucian’s eyes, Rondo Uncle explained.

“Oh……”

Lucian replied understandingly, and walked towards the gate of the manor behind Uncle Rondo.

Two guards were standing at the entrance of the manor. When they saw them coming, Uncle Rondo grinned, waved his hand and let them in.

Walking into the manor, Lucian looked at the dilapidated scene in the manor, and his heart was even more puzzled.

Since this is Uncle Rondo’s small workshop, at least some magic machine tools should be heard at work, right?

At least… shouldn’t there be a thick layer of ash everywhere in the manor, and even spider webs can be seen everywhere, right?

After two more steps, Lu Xi’an suddenly felt a trace of vigilance in his heart and stopped.

“Uncle Rondo, I… I suddenly remembered something. I am afraid I can’t do this job. As for the money owed to you, I promise to pay you back in the future.” Lu Xi’an hesitated.

Uncle Rondo took a deep look at Lu Xi’an, the gentle smile that had been hanging on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a strange smile that made Lu Xi’an only seem to feel cold in his heart.

“What? I owed me fifteen silver coins, so I wanted to go like this? How could it work.”

Lucian couldn’t help taking a step back.

“Uncle Rondo, you…”

Uncle Rondo suddenly raised his hand, and Lu Xian immediately felt a strange wave of magic power echoing around him.

“Magic fluctuating interference?” Lu Xi’an was taken aback. He just wanted to mobilize the magic in his body and re-interrupt the magic space around him stably, but the two brawny men suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

A burly man knocked a hand knife on the back of Lu Xian’s neck, and his eyes went dark and he fainted.
