The Lord of Ashes

Chapter 913: Bribery

"Do you think that child can achieve his wish in the future?" After watching the magic carpet leave, Sean suddenly asked the fat man Boss beside him.

Boss also heard the little boy's question just now. Facing Sean's words, Boss didn't know how to answer for a while.

Looking at the magic carpet that was getting farther and farther away, Boss seemed to have returned to more than a hundred years ago.

He was the same age as the little boy just now. After being tested with a magician's learning talent, he left his parents and went to a big city for further study.

The long and long distance that requires a floating ship to travel is obviously not something that the apprentice-level guys can travel at will.

Not to mention, the tedious and heavy school tasks and life pressure are enough to completely separate these little guys who plunge into the magic world from the secular world.

Boss thought of himself. He went to the Imperial Public Magic Academy to study when he was young, but it was not until he was in his thirties and promoted to an intermediate magic apprentice that he returned home after a long-distance academy mission.

At that time, Boss's parents were already in their fifties, which was very different from his childhood memories.

Including the so-called brothers and sisters in the family, even nephews and nieces, Boss found it difficult to have too close feelings for them.

After all, they had not seen each other for decades. The so-called blood relationship was not so unforgettable for magicians who were determined to explore the truth.

After leaving a large sum of money and two very low-level magic gadgets to his family, Boss set off again.

The second time Boss went home was when he was more than ninety years old.

At that time, Boss was not very sure of being promoted to the next level.

The reason why he wanted to go home to see was that Boss looked back on his past life. It seemed that apart from the magic truth, there didn't seem to be too many things he cared about.

Returning to the family was also a place where Boss had nowhere to go at that time.

At least with the magic books, money and magic props he took back at that time, his descendants will be able to live better in the future.

Even if a person with the qualifications to learn magic emerges again, he can have a higher level than Boss to explore the truth.

But it must be admitted that it can also be attributed to the regret that when Boss returned home for the second time, his parents had already died, including those brothers and sisters, almost none of them were left.

After the magic apprentice reaches the advanced level, relying on the elemental knowledge he has mastered and the help that can be used in the surrounding environment, it can be said that it is easy to extend his life for 20 to 30 years.

Ordinary people are not so lucky, not to mention the lower-level civilians.

Once you step into the magic world, it marks the separation from the secular world.

Boss, who rarely recalled the appearance of his parents in his memory, chose to use a long sigh as the answer to Sean's question just now.

The road to truth is a long search.

...

After bribing Boss with magic coins, Sean, led by this fat man, passed through 21 human cities in succession and recruited more than 700 magic apprentices with qualified mental strength.

Except for 200 of lower quality who were finally taken back by Boss, the remaining more than 500 apprentices will be taken back to the Dark Fire Holy Tower by Sean.

Originally, Boss was very nervous about doing this.

When Sean and he passed through seven cities in succession and looted two hundred apprentices, the fat man began to back off.

However, when Sean increased the magic coins he bribed Boss from 30 to 100.

The fat man's eyes turned into the shape of magic coins and stared round.

What does 100 magic coins mean?

It means that most of the loan that Boss owed to the public magic academy can be repaid instantly, which means that if he is not in a hurry to repay the loan, he can also build a private laboratory of his own.

It is not so easy to build a laboratory suitable for oneself.

Even the most ordinary laboratory, if all functions are required, at least hundreds of magic coins are required!

This is excluding the cost of the extremely expensive element pool.

After Sean was promoted to the first level, he had no worries in related aspects. On the one hand, he earned enough during the regional college war, and on the other hand, he moved directly to the top floor of the Holy Tower and could use Lu Lianman's experimental equipment.

With Lu Lianman's equipment level, it is estimated that the laboratories of some demigod-level magicians were not as advanced as Sean's at that time.

Sure enough, this fat man whose name and body shape gave Sean a certain favor, and his greedy attribute also made Sean feel a little familiar.

After getting another 500 magic apprentices, Sean told the fat man that the transaction between them had just begun.

As long as Fatty Boss can continue to provide him with magic apprentices, Sean can continue to pay him enough.

This should be the easiest way to make money, right?

Even if Boss risked his life to participate in the war of the other planes, his final profit would be the money from two trips of apprentice smuggling.

"I am responsible for only 21 cities. If I want to find more, I can only go to the villages and towns under these cities." Fatty Boss said to Sean with lingering feelings.

"What about other cities?" Sean asked casually.

The Abarut Empire is vast, and only a small area in the southern part of the empire is enough for the Dark Fire Holy Tower to recruit students.

"Other cities are managed by other magicians, and some cities are not from the same academy as mine. If we happen to meet, it is very likely to be exposed..." Boss said with some embarrassment.

"Since there is a risk of exposure, you might as well bring the other party in as well."

"I want a lot of apprentices, and relying on you alone can't satisfy my appetite." Sean smiled.

Sean's smile made Boss's hair stand on end. ‏‎‏‎‏​‎‏‎‎‎‏‎‏

To be honest, Boss has never thought of telling others about the money from Sean, risking his reputation or even being punished by the Imperial Public Academy.

Pull other formal magicians of the Imperial Academy into this circle or interest group?

Thinking of this, Boss shuddered.

Unlike Boss's uneasiness, Sean was calculating another account in his mind.

Just one Boss brought 700 magic apprentices to Sean.

As long as he could win over five or six more magicians from the Imperial Academy, Sean could basically gather the magic apprentices that the Dark Fire Holy Tower lacked this year.

More importantly, this is a long-term deal.

The Holy Tower Academy has always recruited students every ten years.

If this matter had not been exposed, it could have continued.

Facing the smile on Sean's lips, Boss couldn't help but say, "I heard some devil-like temptations in your tone."

"What are devils?"

"I have studied them. They are just a group of special creatures between flesh and blood and energy bodies."

"They also use energy and mental power in a strange and special way."

"If you do well, I can give you a piece of my treasured devil limb tissue specimen." Sean patted Boss's shoulder and said casually.

He didn't realize that he had become a different person in Boss's eyes.

Boss's Adam's apple "gurgled" and he said nothing more.
