Sixth Ring Wizard

Chapter 37 Textbook

After Hellagur inserted the copper key into the peephole, magic flowed through the doorway, and with a click, the door opened automatically.

After the door opened, the lights inside automatically turned on, casting a soft, pale yellow glow.

The room was fully furnished with tables, chairs, and other furniture, and there was a pile of wood next to the fireplace.

There are some oil paintings hanging on the wall, mostly landscapes.

The lamps on the wall are very similar to those on the ship, only more exquisite in design and with softer light. Inside is a pale yellow stone.

The first floor of the house has a living room and kitchen for resting, and the second floor has three rooms: a bedroom, a study, and an empty room.

The third floor is an attic, with a lower ceiling, suitable for storing miscellaneous items.

The kitchen was fully equipped with tableware and various seasonings, and Hrag also found tea and coffee.

Herag lit the wood to start the fireplace, then heated a pot of water and made himself a cup of coffee.

After a short rest, Helag began to plan the next steps.

"Deep Blue, please provide a suggested course study plan."

The following are suggestions for learning the course:

1. Learn the basic principles of meditation.

2. Learn the basic principles of spell models.

3. Learn multiple languages.

4. Learn a defensive level 0 spell.

5. Learn an offensive level 0 spell.

……

Deep Blue devised a series of plans, and looking at the schedule, Herag realized he had quite a lot to do.

He opened the runestone and looked at the timetable. The Moonglade classes were from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., with each class lasting three hours.

My classes are almost full every day this month, covering all kinds of courses, including anatomy, necrobiology, and shadow studies.

Herag searched and found Lori Ivan's "Basic Principles of Meditation," just in time for the start of a new round of classes next week.

"This price..." He glanced at the price of the course, which required fifteen gold coins.

Gold coins are given on-site. Hellagur has course vouchers, which can be used directly at the time. Moonglade will periodically exchange the vouchers for gold coins and distribute them to the instructors.

The meditation course consists of three sessions, totaling nine hours.

"One course costs fifteen gold coins, and that's just for the basic courses."

Herag took out his money pouch from his spatial ring and counted it; he only had twenty gold coins in total.

"Let's check the missions." Herag opened the mission list, preparing to check the rates first.

"We are seeking one herbalism lab assistant. Applicants must possess herbalism knowledge. Successful completion of the on-site assessment is required. Compensation: 30 gold coins."

"Looking for someone to help kill a mountain monster. Requirements: at least a second-class apprentice, with two or more offensive spells. Reward: twenty magic stones."

"Buy Valley Walk Grass, 20 gold coins/plant".

……

The runestone only shows the quests and allows you to contact the quest issuer. To issue a quest, you need to go to the Affairs Hall, fill in the information and pay the deposit there, and then the quest will be updated synchronously on the Magic Network.

Each runestone is bound to a corresponding wizard, and its internal functions vary depending on the wizarding organization.

The use of the runestone is also limited in distance; it can only be used within the area where the eight wizarding organizations are located. It cannot be used outside of this area, but it is sufficient for daily life.

Herag enrolled in three courses: "Basic Principles of Meditation", "Basic Principles of Spell Model Construction", and "Introduction to Herbalism".

He calculated that the three courses would normally cost seventy gold coins.

Larry has no plans to offer courses in herbalism, so Herag has had to choose another course from a witch named Yuna.

Herag will finish the three courses in three weeks, and his next plan is to borrow books.

The courses here do not provide textbooks; wizard apprentices need to prepare them themselves. Some libraries have them and you can borrow them directly; if not, you can only buy them from other wizard apprentices.

The library in Moonglade is the tallest building here, with a full seventeen floors. This library has existed for over two thousand years and contains books of all kinds.

Herrag's library card has the lowest level of access, allowing him to borrow books only from the first floor.

Fortunately, the three books he needed for class were all basic books, all on the first level.

Herag borrowed textbooks on meditation and herbalism, but the textbooks for the spell model course were all gone and he didn't have any for the time being.

"You can check out the flea market," the librarian suggested, seeing that he was new to the job.

"A flea market?"

The librarian said, "The wizards in the woodlands sell anything they don't need there. They have all sorts of things. You can go and take a look."

Following the librarian's directions, Herag arrived at the west side of town, where the flea market was located.

This place is no different from a regular street market, except it's not as noisy; wizards are generally quite quiet here.

Many of the wizarding apprentices at the stalls were engrossed in reading books, working very hard, and only putting down their books to take on business when someone asked a question.

The stalls were filled with all sorts of bizarre items. Various unidentified animal body parts were commonplace, and Hrag even saw someone selling excrement, labeled as dragon dung.

The key point is that his poop was quite fresh; it didn't look like dragon dung at all.

Herag frowned and quickly left the area, heading towards the section with books on the stalls.

There were several stacks of books on a stall, and the stall owner was a thin little boy wearing glasses.

"Do you have the book 'Fundamentals of Spell Model Construction'?" Herag asked.

The boy adjusted his glasses and nodded, saying, "Yes!"

He searched through the stacks of books with great effort, seemingly having forgotten the location of the book on spell models, and it took him a long time to find it.

"How much?" Herag asked.

"Fifty silver coins."

Herag doubted his ears: "How much?"

The boy explained, "They're all the same price. I bought them for fifty silver coins. You can resell them after you finish your lessons. That's how we all do it. I'm only buying these books to recoup my costs, not to make a profit."

To be on the safe side, Herag went to ask at a few other stalls and found that what the boy said was indeed true.

He naturally didn't believe it wasn't profitable, but that's indeed the market price.

"Here you go." Herag took out fifty silver coins and took the book of spell models.

After counting the silver coins, the boy asked, "Are you new here? You can add me as a friend on Runestone; I have many books."

"Okay." Herag thought about it and agreed, thinking it would make finding books faster in the future.

"Hello, my name is Leo Sevilen," Leo said with a smile.

"Hellag Merlin".

After Herag added him, there were two people on his friend list.

"I wonder how many runes Lillian has..." Herag suddenly thought of this question.

They didn't know about runestones before they came, and now they can only communicate by letter.
