Above the mage!

Chapter 154 Mutual Aid Association

Gode's inference was correct. There were indeed many red-eyed sparrows living nearby the area where the stream crossed.

In just one hour, he discovered five red-eyed sparrows one after another, and with the powerful effect of [Flame Arrow+], he killed all of them with one shot.

In other words, it only took him more than two hours in total, and he earned 6 gold coins, which was equivalent to the selling price of a 0-level spell recipe.

Hourly wage 3 gold.

Even for a formal wizard, this is a very high number, not to mention that he is only a second-class wizard apprentice.

Having only done this, Gaode was already preparing to go home.

It was actually still early, and he didn't want to want to collect all the origins of [Red-Eyed Sparrow] in one go, but the problem was that he had "no more mana".

How can a mage kill birds without blue?

A big part of the reason why a mage apprentice is called an apprentice is that his "mana" is too limited.

Gaode marked his location on the map, planned to come back tomorrow, and then returned the same way.

The way back is always faster, and soon Gao De returned to the man-made path in the back mountain.

He was about to quicken his pace, but he didn't expect that at this moment someone came out quickly from the depths of the path.

Godard took a glance and saw a young lady with blonde hair wearing the standard robes of students at Seres Academy.

Obviously an old student.

Because the freshmen should still be working as gold miners at the foot of the Coolie Cliff.

Probably a student of the Potions Department.

Because those who can enter the back mountain have either accepted the [Mountain Patrol] mission, or are students of the Alchemy Department, who have to go into the mountains frequently to look after the planted magic plants.

Gao De made a judgment in his heart.

But he didn't think much about it, and didn't even plan to say hello to others.

In Seres College, everyone is busy and there is little unnecessary greetings and formalities.

"Gao De?" What Gao De didn't expect was that the other party actually spoke first and called him.

"Do you know me?" Gao De looked at the other person and confirmed that he didn't know her, feeling a little confused.

"My name is Sadie, and I'm the head student in the Potions Department." The young woman introduced herself.

Then, with a curious gleam in her eyes, she continued, "You know, in the Department of Magical Arts, the competition between our Potions Department and the Alchemy Department has always been the greatest, and the relationship between the instructors of the two departments is not very good."

"This is especially true for me as the head student of the Potions Department, and Gerry Harrell as the head student of the Alchemy Department."

"So when I heard that guy went to the cafeteria to target a freshman for some reason, I paid a little attention and remembered your name."

"Then, when you took the maid's clam to our Potions Department for your matriculation assignment, I glanced at you from afar again."

Gao De understood and smiled politely, "So it's Chief Sadie. I've heard of your name for a long time. What are you doing?"

He was asking about why the other person called him, definitely not because he came up to say hello to him.

Sadie smiled softly, "I was planning to take some time to visit you, but I didn't expect to see you here, so I called you. It seems that you have accepted the [Mountain Patrol] mission, right?"

Gao De nodded. There was no reason to deny it, but he did not say anything and waited for the other party to continue.

"Let me be frank," Sadie said softly, "I want to invite you to join our mutual aid group."

"Mutual Aid Society?" Gao De raised his eyebrows. It was the first time he heard of this thing. "What is this?" "Maybe you are the only one in the whole college who doesn't know about the Mutual Aid Society and the Lion Society." Sadie spread her hands and said helplessly.

But since she had already invited Gao De, she didn't mind acting as a narrator again. "You should know that students in the academy are generally divided into two types."

"One is for civilian students like us who passed the college's admissions assessment and entered the college openly."

Gao Deneng noticed that Sadie exuded a sense of pride when she said "passed the college admissions assessment."

For them, this is indeed a matter of pride.

"The other type is aristocratic students like Gerry Harrell, who entered the academy through the back door through their family background."

"In most cases, commoner students and noble students don't like each other. The former think the latter are good for nothing and are just enjoying the glory of their ancestors. "

"The latter think that the former is of low birth and is not qualified to study with them. This kind of dissatisfaction sometimes develops into targeting."

"Generally speaking, we commoners cannot compete with nobles. After all, they are rich and powerful, and our talents need time to materialize."

"Later, some civilian students couldn't stand it anymore and stood up. They gathered all the civilian students to help each other and make progress together. At the same time, they were able to deal with the targeting of the noble students. This was the prototype of the Mutual Aid Association."

"After the mutual aid association came into being, the noble students naturally formed a corresponding organization, the Lion Club."

"The Mutual Aid Association and the Lions Club emerged and developed in this way. Now, every freshman who enters the college will be invited by the Mutual Aid Association or the Lions Club as soon as possible according to their identity."

"So, all the students in the entire Ceres Academy are either members of the Mutual Aid Society or members of the Lion Club."

"As for you," Sadie glanced at Godd and said slowly, "The situation is too complicated. Both sides think that you are not on their side. So."

Sadie only pointed it out very vaguely, but it was enough for God to understand.

He joined Seres College through a letter of recommendation, so he naturally did not meet the Mutual Aid Association's requirement of "entering the college through the admissions assessment."

But at the same time, he was not a descendant of the nobility and could only be considered a commoner.

Therefore, he also does not meet the requirements for becoming a "noble student" at the Lions Club.

It's a waste of time, Gao De thought to himself.

"However, I feel that although you did not enter the academy through assessment, you are not a noble student after all. In this case, you meet the admission criteria of our mutual aid association."

"So, on behalf of the Mutual Aid Association, I sincerely invite you to join us."

"What can I get by joining the mutual aid association, and what do I need to pay?" Gao De was silent for a moment and asked slowly.

"You will get the resources of the fraternity, including intelligence information and help from fraternity members."

"For example, if you need a potion and I happen to be free, you only need to provide the raw materials and a little bit of reward, and I can help you make it."

"Or if there is any team mission, you can look for members within the mutual aid association. If there is any conflict of interest during the mission, you can also coordinate through the mutual aid association. It is definitely more convenient and reassuring than forming a team at random."

"Or, if your graduation design requires help from other mages, the Mutual Aid Association can also lend a hand."

"But correspondingly, you also need to provide your value to other members of the mutual aid association."

"For new students, we don't ask too much in the first year. We just use the resources of the mutual aid association to train new members, which is considered a benefit of joining the association."

“But starting from the second year, you need to demonstrate your value, otherwise the mutual aid association’s resources will no longer be open to you.”

"The philosophy and purpose of the mutual aid society has always been mutual assistance, not free help," Sadie emphasized.
