The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

In the living room, Moran lay on the sofa with her legs crossed, a huge book of witches floating in front of her.

Hearing the door open, Moran turned around and saw Lilith, Sylph, and Vasita returning with dejected expressions.
"What's wrong? Is it not going well selling magic scrolls?"

“Not only are we having trouble selling magic scrolls, but we also haven’t been able to get Greta to send us an invitation,” Lilith said.

"We were almost there! She said she had a way for us to make more money, but unfortunately we have to wait until she finds a new place to stay before she invites us to discuss it in detail."

Vasita said regretfully:
"If I get invited, I'll definitely open a hot pot restaurant right away to make money. It's definitely better than setting up a stall in the Apprentice Square to sell apprentice-level magic scrolls that nobody cares about!"

“Oh dear! Greta has decided to resign from the Golden Globe Hostel immediately. Now I just hope she finds a place to stay soon. I’ve already recommended Jenny and Lina to her,” Sylph said.

Seeing their eagerness to make a fortune simply by being invited, Moran kindly reminded them:
"Even you can't use your fake identity to get into the Dawn Society through back channels!"

"What do you mean?" Vasita asked, puzzled.

Lilith, realizing something, asked incredulously, "You mean we need to complete a trial mission like Greta and the others before we can become full members?"

“It’s not just you guys, it’s me too!” Moran said. “Otherwise, if we accept the invitation, we’ll become official members right away, which would immediately raise suspicion.”

"!!!" Sylph collapsed onto the sofa in despair: "That's true, but the second trial task is to successfully invite ten spellcasters within three months! We're all unfamiliar with this place, where are we going to invite so many spellcasters?"

“It’s alright!” Moran said, “Inviting ten spellcasters within three months is the requirement for early entry into the academy. If three months isn’t enough, then six months; if six months isn’t enough, then a year. As long as we can successfully invite ten spellcasters to sign the invitation letter, we can complete the trial.”

After all, she wasn't there to select talent, but to sell magic and earn magic power.

The Dawn Society is just a way to fool people and promote her, to develop more contractors. In essence, she still wants to sell magic to earn magic power.

When it comes to doing business, no matter how much you present yourself, you can't refuse customers.

Anyone who accepts the trial invitation will eventually pass the trial as long as they don't give up.

Lilith, Vasita, and Sylph: "..."

Is this meant to comfort them or to discourage them?
Lilith still found it unbelievable: "You never go out and don't make friends with anyone. Where do you go to complete your trial missions?"

This not only harmed them, but she also got harmed herself!
Moran pointed to himself and emphasized, "Me! A high-ranking mage!"

"So what?" the three witches asked, puzzled.

"I'll be wearing the badge of a high-ranking mage. I'll just walk around the apprentice plaza and be approached by a bunch of eager apprentices, believe it or not. I'll just send each of them an invitation! All I need to do is accept the trial invitation, and I'll have completed my mission."

"Accepting the trial isn't like officially joining the academy; it doesn't require any sacrifice. I, a high-ranking mage, handed them an invitation. Do you think they wouldn't give it a try?"

Moran said confidently.

"..."

Lilith and the others naturally wanted to disguise themselves as high-level mages as well.

But this isn't something they can just do as they wish. Their understanding of magic is insufficient and their meditation skills are inadequate, so they simply can't fake it.

Not everyone can disguise themselves as a mage inside and out in a short period of time. The thought that even if Greta invited them, they would still need to invite ten spellcasters to sign invitation letters to become official members of the academy and use cards openly made the three of them feel like the sky had fallen.

The next day, without Moran saying anything, he went out early to set up a stall in the apprentice square.

However, today's goal is not just to earn gold coins, but also to find opportunities to get to know more mages.

Greta still only goes to the Apprentice Square to set up her stall in the afternoon today.

She resigned last night, but this morning she packed her few belongings, left the Golden Globe Hostel, and found a reasonably priced hotel near Apprentice Lane in Lance to stay temporarily.

She hired a local guide to help her find a suitable place to rent, and spent the morning in the hotel meditating to collect gem coins.

In the afternoon, I exchanged all the gem coins for instant noodle ingredients and pushed my cart to Apprentice Alley to set up my stall.

However, as usual, I went to No. 21 and No. 22, Apprentice Lane first.

Yesterday evening, she brought several instant noodle ingredients to No. 22 Xue Tu Lane and even personally taught the maid of the novice mage how to cook instant noodles.

The novice mage really likes instant noodles, so I asked her to send some more over today so she could take them to the mage tower to share with her friends.

Since we're already on the 22nd, we certainly can't forget the high-ranking mage from the 21st!
This time, Moran finally gave her the money for yesterday's instant noodles, but told her, "You don't need to come again."

She's a stingy, wild mage with three apprentices; how could she possibly afford to eat instant noodles that cost one gold coin a bowl every day?
That bowl of instant noodles was cooked long enough yesterday; all the neighbors could smell it. Even those who didn't come out to ask had heard what she was saying to Amy that day.

It won't have any effect no matter how much you eat it.

Lilith, Vasida, and Sylph are so distressed; as their mentor, I should give them my invitation!
She alone is worth 10 contribution points!

Two days later, Greta finally found a small house in a block next to Apprentice Lane where she could temporarily pay rent on a monthly basis. After settling in, she immediately invited Lilith, Vasita, and Sylph to visit her new home.

At the same time, there was also some unusual activity in Moran's {Dawn Society Management Card}.

The {Dawn Society Management Card} usually only alerts her when a member of the society she is particularly interested in makes significant progress.

She currently only pays attention to two members of the academy: Greta, the first human contractor, and Alamir, the first elven contractor.

Greta's side is steadily developing its offline presence, while there's been no movement from Alamir, who's been studying and preparing for the exam.

Upon seeing the {Dawn Learning Management Card}, Alamir, who had been silent for three days, finally chose to begin the exam.

Apart from Greta, the reading materials of all the other authors can be read repeatedly.

However, they didn't know that exams could be taken repeatedly.

All the trial tasks only stated the criteria and rewards for success, without mentioning what would happen if they failed, because the trial was only considered complete upon success.

In this situation, Alamir studied for three days before starting the exam, which was considered relatively fast.

Perhaps he was truly in a hurry to obtain the {Temporary Item Card - Space Planting Pot #9} and return to the Elf Forest with Yar. (End of Chapter)
