Chapter 138 137. He Has Always Been Nothing.
Time passed quickly, and it was two days before Lilia started school.
It was like knowing that the child was going on a spring outing the next day, so he slowly took the child out to go shopping at nine o'clock in the evening, highlighting the late stage of procrastination that has been indelible since childhood.
The same was true for Mo Cheng. It wasn't until school started the day after tomorrow that he took Lilia to the [Gilded Rose] to purchase the necessities for admission.
The tuition fee for the Thousand Gold Gryphon at the Wintercastle Comprehensive Academy of Magic covers eight years of tuition, fees, and book fees. However, you still need to prepare your own magic robes, wands and other equipment, but there are no courses in the academy that require the use of wands.
For new students in Winterhold, wands and magic robes are like middle school students using expensive pens that cost tens of thousands. It is useful, but it doesn't matter how good the pen owner is at writing. Call it useless, writing is indeed smoother than ordinary ones.
Looking at the large number of wands displayed on the shelves of [Gilded Rose], Lilia couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many types of wands."
For Lilia, who was born in a border area and was taught even basic level concepts by Mo Cheng, this was the first time for her to see so many magic props.
"Mass-produced items can't increase your magic power as much as a bottle of spiritual power potion."
Mo Cheng looked bored. For a monk who had taken a vow of poverty, equipment like this was not a necessity, let alone the [Gilded Rose].
[Gilded Rose] is in the business of civilian magicians. For families trying to cultivate magicians, the prices are affordable, and they also hold activities to recycle old wands from time to time. If you use an old wand and add some money, you can get a new wand, so [Gold-Plated Rose] has a pretty good reputation.
It’s just that the naturally enhanced attributes of low-priced equipment are not very good. From the perspective of [Exotic] players, it is equipment that cannot afford [Gilded Rose] in the early stage. In the later stage, just pick up a branch in the wild and mess around with two people. It's much stronger than the [Gold-Plated Rose] stuff.
Just... pretty tasteless.
"Also, let me tell you about the four types of equipment commonly used by mages." Mo Cheng whispered to the side, but his voice was clear as he explained the differences between the equipment to Lilia.
"The length of a wand is generally between sixty centimeters and ninety centimeters. It tends to increase the speed of spell condensation."
"The staff is usually over one meter in length. It focuses on increasing the power of spells."
"The magic book is a combination of the mage's personal notes and spell-casting props. It is extremely encrypted and can hardly be used by anyone other than himself or his disciples. If you see a magic book in an auction house or somewhere else, don't think about other things. If something doesn’t decipher the code, it’s a trap.”
"Crystal balls, there are many kinds of them. Some are used to engrave spell models in crystal balls, some are used as divination props, and some are simply used as bombs."
"Besides, I didn't bring you here today to buy a wand. You don't have a scar on your head, and there's no one named Ollivander here. If you want to buy one, you have to wait until you decide which type of mage you want to be." As he said that, Mo Cheng He took Lilia out of the wand area and walked all the way to the other side.
Waved for a waiter to come over, Mo Cheng pointed at Lilia and said: "Give her a mage vest to wear underneath. The material should be python skin from the Yemu Jungle. The toughness should be above the standard degree 3. Of course, if possible, I wish I knew the level and identity of the leatherworker."
As if he was confused by Mo Cheng's series of words that seemed to be known only to old customers, the waiter was a little stunned. Fortunately, the supervisor came to relieve him at this time, "What happened? Hey, it's Priest Mo Cheng."
The person who spoke was none other than Mr. Riley, the manager of the team to which [Gilded Rose] belonged when Mo Cheng and Lilia were hitchhiking.
"Mr. Riley, I haven't seen you for a while." Mo Cheng pointed to Lilia beside him and explained his purpose, "Lilia will start school in two days, and I plan to equip her with a set first."
With Mr. Riley taking action, Mo Cheng's request was not that difficult to handle. There happened to be one item left in the warehouse that met the requirements in [Gilded Rose]. Since I knew someone, I bought this vest without any trouble.
"Priest Mo Cheng, won't you choose more?"
"I would also like to choose more, but unfortunately my funds are limited." Mo Cheng replied with a smile. Someone had just done a favor, so there was no need to tell someone else's face that he didn't like their products.
After a while of greetings, Mo Cheng and Lilia walked out of the [Gilded Rose] with the only items they purchased.
"This is usually worn close to the body, and the protective function is pretty good. As for the other equipment, after two days to determine which mage route you want to take, I will help you get a set of equipment. Anyway, there won't be any equipment requirements at the beginning of school. "
Mo Cheng didn't like the bargains sold in the store. He knew the location of some magic shops that specialized in receiving private orders from nobles. Unfortunately, they didn't accept glorious priests like Mo Cheng who were not compatible with mages.
Although he could get some good equipment for Lilia through Margaret's relationship, after thinking about it, he still felt that it was not necessary. He had several sets of very good equipment in his memory, and he could just go and find them when the time came. .
"How much have I taught you these days?"
Lilia frowned as she thought about it, then nodded her fingers and replied: "Rolling, wall climbing, jumping, hiding, and boxing. Do mages really need to learn these things?"
"Other mages don't need it, you just need it."
At least other mages wouldn't be targeted by others without warning. If Lilia didn't master some life-saving skills, Mo Cheng was afraid that one day this little girl would be killed if she didn't pay attention.
"So which type of legal profession should I choose?"
Lilia was still a little uneasy, not because of anything else, but just like when a college entrance examination student chooses a choice, no one can give advice and she can only rely on herself.
"Whatever you like."
Mo Cheng's answer was like an extremely irresponsible adult who spoke unconstructive nonsense.
However, he seemed to realize that what he said was not quite right, and then added: "Don't choose the ones I told you that have no future. If you really want to choose, at least think carefully about it. Other professions are very different, just rely on your own feeling. , if you think it’s okay, it doesn’t matter if you choose those professions that require talents.”
Regarding Lilia's career choice, Mo Cheng was very casual. In fact, he was also so casual about his career choice. Even when he swore the vow of poverty, he was as casual as he is today.
Mo Cheng has always been an indifferent person, and he also has enough confidence.
No matter what profession Lilia chooses, he has the ability to teach her how to survive.
