The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 490 My First Friend

Back at the Oak Inn, the first thing you see is a wooden sign hanging on the door that reads "Temporarily Closed," the paint still fresh.

The witches exchanged glances, and Sylph stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"The hotel is temporarily closed! Go across the street!" came a voice from the window next door.

“Mr. Alamir, it’s us!” Sylph said. “We’ve rented a house and are back to get our luggage.”

"Oh! Here it comes!" Alamir leaned out and pulled the bolt.

As soon as the door opened, he sat back down to look at the documents.

He was now completely absorbed in the "Dawn Society Resource List," which contained rare spatial magic items that Valen could obtain directly with gem coins.

He now knew what Gem Coins were; any spellcaster could exchange the magical energy they possessed for Gem Coins.

He is a high-ranking elven mage and swordsman, and currently, the natural energy he can control in his bloodline, converted into magic power, amounts to more than five thousand mana.

These natural energies can all be restored!
The trial card contains a trial shop with two gray item display windows.

One is {Temporary Item Card - Space 9 Planting Pot (3 days)}, priced at 1000 Gem Coins.

One is a {Temporary Item Card - Space 9 Planting Pot (9 days)}, priced at 3000 Gem Coins.

He could easily afford each one.

Unfortunately, it showed that he was not eligible to redeem it.

How to obtain the redemption qualification is explained in the trial missions.

Alamir not only didn't find it troublesome, but even thought these trial tasks were too easy.

I originally thought these two cards in the Trial Shop were valuable enough, but after reading the "Dawn Academy Resource List," I realized that they were just abridged versions.

Not only do they have larger planting pots, but they also have many other valuable resources.

Alamir, who had long given up on promotion, suddenly had the urge to give it a shot when he looked at the list.

At this point, he put aside everything else, such as making money from opening a shop, meeting different people, and enjoying life.

Moran and the others went into the store, went upstairs to get their luggage, and then went downstairs to leave. They didn't see Alamir give them even a second glance.

“Mr. Alamir, we’re leaving now. Aren’t you going to check if anything in the room is damaged?” Lilith asked deliberately before leaving.

“No need!” Alamir said.

He wasn't planning on keeping the hotel anyway.

“Goodbye, Mr. Alamir!” Sylph said.

"Goodbye!" Alamir still held a good impression of Sylph, who had received the fairy's blessing: "I wish you all the best!"

Once the group boarded the carriage, they finally couldn't help but complain.

“Alamir is like a completely different person compared to yesterday; she doesn’t even want to talk to us anymore!” Lilith said.

“Greta was in a similar state when she completed her first trial mission,” Vasita said, unsurprised. “It’s all Moran’s fault; his trial missions are too tricky. He just pulls out a list of all the cards in the card shop and shows it to people. Nobody can stay calm!” Sylph said. “I reckon Mr. Alamir will definitely work hard to complete the mission and join the Dawn Society as soon as possible!”

“If we learn it, we’ll have ten more members in the trial stage,” Moran said with a smile.

"I wonder if he feels cheated after he worked so hard to complete the tasks and joined the Dawn Society, only to find that he wasn't qualified to buy most of the good items in the Dawn Society Resource List. He has to keep recruiting people for our society to have the opportunity to spend permanent magic energy to upgrade his purchasing privileges." Lilith sighed.

When she first saw Moran's "Dawn Society Plan," she was utterly shocked when she saw that the storage limit for gem coins had increased several times over. She never expected that Moran would also price card purchase rights at the level of permanent magical energy, and even require people to make sufficient contributions to the growth of the society and recruit enough people before they would be eligible to purchase them.

They were the ones who wanted to earn magic, but it's been made to seem like others are eager to give them magic.

“There’s no such thing as a free lunch. And even if there were, every single one would have a price tag attached! The price I’m making them pay is a blessing in disguise.” Moran was very confident about this: “Just you wait and see!”

The main point is that no matter how rare or precious something is, as long as the materials have been analyzed or she has mastered the corresponding knowledge, the Book of Cards can create it. The only cost is magic power.

Many things are not that no one can afford them, but that even if you have the money, you can't buy them.

The Book of Cards has now perfectly solved this problem, giving everyone the opportunity to buy all resources with magical energy.

This opportunity alone is precious.

The carriage left the Oak Inn and paused briefly in front of the Golden Globe Inn.

Lilith, lifting her skirt, ran into the inn, her gaze sweeping across the inn's restaurant before spotting that familiar figure:

"Greta, I'd like a moss soup and a honey-roasted suckling pig, to go!"

“Okay! Lilith, please sit here and wait for a while. It will take some time,” Greta said.

“Greta, my mentor has rented a house in Apprentice Lane and is moving there today. She probably won’t be coming to the Golden Globe Inn anymore,” Lilith said, sounding somewhat reluctant.

"Where do you live in Apprentice Lane? I go there to shop during my time off, maybe I'll run into you!"

Although Greta has completed the final trial mission, she still has one more trial mission three that hasn't expired yet, so she can continue to collect rewards!
She would proactively deepen her connections with every friendly monk.

She did indeed frequent Apprentice Lane in order to make more connections with monks, as many monks gathered there.

"Number 21, Apprentice Lane! Remember to come see me when you're on vacation! You were the first friend I made in Lance City!"

No sooner had Lilith finished speaking than Greta's trial cards stirred again.

There had been a similar commotion this morning, when the final mission was completed, but she hadn't had a proper opportunity to claim her reward yet.

This time, she knew without even looking that she had made another mage friend, and that the third trial mission had made progress.

The fact that there's activity in Trial Task 3 means that this "friend" is recognized by the Trial Card.

While we may not be best friends, we are definitely not insincere.

Greta hadn't expected that her well-intentioned reminder wouldn't actually help. Today, as she was leaving, Greta came specifically to tell her where she was staying, and she easily treated Greta as a friend.

"It seems that not all mages are solely driven by profit!"

Greta couldn't help but think as she watched Lilith walk away quickly with her takeout food.
