My Magical Card Tavern

Within the Mage Guild, Graham, who used to go out drinking and eating snacks, became a hot commodity.

In the meditation room, Morin, who hadn't moved since waking up from meditation, also became a hot commodity.

Roman remained in the meditation room, holding Morin's meditation report in his hand.

The magicians present could all see the change.

Or rather, because Morin's talent was indeed lacking, the effect of the card magic was immediately apparent, focusing on an immediate and effective result.

Ginnell raised an eyebrow at Morin, who responded by raising an eyebrow in return, thus concluding their encrypted call.

The deal should be done, but as for the price, that will have to wait for the mages to come up with a specific agreement.

During this time, Ginnell had some free time, so he was happy to go out and chat with Graham for a bit.

"So, you've closed a big deal with the Mage's Guild?"

Graham scratched the back of his head, staring blankly at Genelec.

"But the Adventurers' Guild members aren't rich, at least not as rich as mages."

Genele waved his hand.

"Don't worry about that. There are different ways to make money, whether you have it or not. Just do as I say."

"Come back to the tavern with me later, and I can take care of your injuries in a short time."

With nothing else to do, Ginell picked up the wine jug next to him and took a sniff. A strong aroma assaulted his eyes.

"What is this thing again?"

Graham perked up and said.

"This is a drink that orcs like, but this one is a bit too mild. It must have been modified by humans after they learned about the types of drinks available to orcs."

Ginnell silently put down the wine jug and chose to wait quietly.

The orcs' constitution is truly remarkable; Graeme even found the wine, which could harm him with just a glance, to be somewhat mild.

Not long after, Morin finally came out of the meditation room and pointed behind him to Ginell.

This indicates that it is now his turn.

As Gianna got up and entered the meditation room, she was greeted by the smiling face of the white-haired old man.

"Hello, Mr. Genelec."

"We've reached a conclusion regarding your mysterious magic card."

"If you are not satisfied with our pricing, please feel free to let us know."

It was obvious that this old man was one of the leaders of the guild faction, as even Mentor Roman did not express his opinion when discussing such important matters.

"What are your prices?" Ginell asked.

The old man didn't say it directly, but instead started doing some calculations with Genelec.

Including formal apprentices, the Silver Star City Mage Guild has a total of over one hundred low-level mages.

This number is already quite large, considering that the old man was only calculating the number of people who reside permanently in Silver Star City, and he excluded those who were just there to obtain an apprenticeship or to find a partner.

In addition, the apprentices and magicians from the magic academies under the Northern Union were also excluded.

If you include some of the surrounding small towns, the number would definitely be even greater.

"But there's no need, because that's something to consider in the second round of business."

"That's what the old man said."

"Aside from issues related to identity, it appears that only sixty people are currently capable of meditating under the influence of magic cards."

only?

Ginnell gave the old man a deep look.

No wonder Roman was confident he could help Ginell distract himself.

Judging from the proportion of these people alone, the mages from the guild faction are in a dominant position.

"Ginnell asked."

"Are you planning to charge by the number of sessions or by the number of people?"

The old man smiled slightly.

"frequency."

"We do not deny the wonder of magic, but we must absolutely not let young people become dependent on it."

"Within one month, each person can undergo three enhanced meditation training sessions under the guidance of the guild, and a progress reward mechanism has been established."

"We instructors will score the children based on their progress and reward those who make progress with an extra meditation session."

With these mentors who start as four-star mages and provide evaluations, even if the magical power and meditation skills of many young people are not the same, the scoring can be guaranteed to be fair and impartial.

"That's what the old man said."

"Three times a month, we will provide you with a total reward of fifty gold coins."

"If we include the progress bonus, we will also provide an additional ten gold coins, which means the monthly rental amount will be sixty gold coins."

Genele thought about it and chuckled.

"Are you adding their monthly mage allowance to my pay? They probably won't agree to that."

The old man smiled.

"How could that be? This part of the money is definitely the guild's internal education fund, and their subsidies will not be deducted."

"The Mage Guild isn't that poor yet."

Ginnell is very satisfied with this price.

This is just the price of one card, not including the miscellaneous income from renting cards within the tavern.

The old man's next words made Gianna's eyes light up.

"Because of your other identity, even if the Mage's Guild has ample funds, it's impossible for them to pay the rent for an extended period in one go."

The old man took a contract from the table and placed it next to Gianna.

"Considering all factors, we will only sign a three-month magic card rental contract with Mr. Genelec at most."

"If you, Gianna, are satisfied with the price and have no objections to the contract terms, please sign your name."

Three months?

Is there such a good thing?

A three-month contract, from a normal business perspective, can indeed only be considered a short-term contract.

No matter how wealthy the Mage Guild is, they still have to consider Ginnell's status as the tavern owner.

Even though Ginnell had said that even if he left the Northern Union, customers who had been to the tavern would still be able to sense the nearby wooden door and arrive at the tavern directly.

But no one has tried it.

So let's sign a three-month contract first and see how things go. Even if there are still needs after that, it will be time to verify whether what Ginell said is true.

Ginnell quickly glanced through it; the terms of the contract were quite clear and simple, and from a rigorous standpoint, it didn't even resemble a contract.

One of the clauses he valued most was that the contract clearly stated that all the money paid would be used to rent the magic card "Gathering of Mages".

With this contract clause, the gold coins that Ginnell receives are essentially given an extra attribute, and this attribute ensures that the card box absorbs those gold coins and uses them for changes in the tavern.

In addition, these documents exuded a very orderly and formal magical aura, and even the holy light power that Ginnell was very familiar with.

To put it bluntly, this contract is a magical artifact, and it even has the certification of the Church of Holy Light.

With Roman's explanation, Gianna understood the significance of doing so.
