Chapter 102: Mage Guild
Chapter 102: Mage Guild
Joelson called for a carriage and headed to the Provence Chamber of Commerce.
He remembered that when he wanted to sell homemade spirit potions, the coachman had brought him to the Provence Chamber of Commerce.
The Provence Chamber of Commerce was one of the largest chambers of commerce in the capital.
The potion shop was very big, several times the size of the Lucca Chamber of Commerce. The decorations were also very luxurious.
All kinds of potions were placed on the counter. The most eye-catching ones were the unique-shaped magic guns and the two-color potions made of red and blue of different sizes.
“My respected mage, is there anything I can help you with?”
As soon as Joelson walked in, a well-dressed and polite shop assistant immediately came up to him.
When the shop assistant saw the six golden stripes on the left chest of the magician’s robe that he was wearing, his eyelids twitched, and his attitude became even more respectful.
“Let me take a look first,” Joelson said calmly
Then, he went up and picked up the largest magic gun on the counter.
The shop assistant immediately began to introduce it, “This is the most powerful magic weapon in our shop. When used together with ice and fire potions, it can instantly cast ice and fire spells that are equivalent to level 7 spells. It also has a very nice name, ‘The Roar of Ice and Fire’. A single magic conductor only costs two thousand gold coins.”
Joelson raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Level 7 magic?”
The shop assistant smiled embarrassedly and said, “It’s not much weaker than level 7 magic. It’s about the power of level-six magic.”
“Level-six?”
A few drops of cold sweat appeared on the shop assistant’s forehead. He braced himself and continued, “It’s slightly weaker than level-six magic.”
Hearing this, Joelson nodded in satisfaction.
Of course, he knew the power of this magic gun. Song of Ice and fire was developed under his guidance, and its maximum power could only reach level-six.
Because in order to reach the power of a level-six spell, the power of the ice and fire magic core powder had to be increased by a lot, and the instability of the ice and fire potions would also increase by a lot. It was very easy for it to explode.
Therefore, it was impossible for their magic guns to reach the power of a level-6 spell or above. If they wanted to surpass the power of a level-6 spell or above, they would have to retry the ratio of potions. Dorothea and the others had also been trying.
“Are there many magic potion shops in the capital selling this kind of magic weapon?”
Hearing this, the shop assistant stood up straight and puffed out his chest, he said proudly, “Those shops are selling some imitations. They are all shameless copycats and plagiarists. Their magic guns have no security at all. The real Roar of Ice and Fire can only be sold by our Provos Chamber of Commerce!”
“I remember that this kind of magic weapon has always been sold by the Lucca Chamber of Commerce. I think it’s called the Song of Ice and Fire,” Joelson said casually
The shop assistant said with a disdainful look.
“Sir, the Lucca Chamber of Commerce is about to go bankrupt. Like other chambers of commerce, they copied our magic-conducting weapons and magic potions. However, the standard of pharmacists is completely inadequate. They are all inferior products that have caused the death of several adventurers. Their reputation has long been rotten!”
Joelson slightly narrowed his eyes and revealed a dangerous look. He nodded and then walked out of the shop without looking back.
“My Lord! My Lord!”
The shop assistant hurriedly chased after Joelson and asked, “Don’t you want to try it? This magic-conducting weapon is really useful! It has always been praised by the adventurers! Its power is also strong enough!”
Joelson lightly left a sentence, “Its power is too small, it is of no use to me.”
Only the shop assistant was left in a daze.
Joelson sat in the carriage, deep in thought.
It seemed that a lot of unexpected things had happened in the past six months.
He thought that he had already paved the road for the Lucca Chamber of Commerce and that their situation would slowly turn around.
But he forgot that bringing good things that everyone coveted was very dangerous.
The strength of the Lucca Chamber of Commerce was too weak. They could not defend the huge benefits brought by the Song of Ice and Fire Potions.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the capital’s Guild of Magic. This was the first time that Joelson had come to the Guild of magic to verify his strength.
In the past, it was Harriet who had arranged it for him. Harriet was the leader of the Guild.
It was normal when he thought about it. After all, his teacher was the only saint-level mage in the entire Alcott Empire. If he did not become the guild leader, who else would have the qualifications?
When he walked in, a man wearing crystal glasses was holding a book and reading it carefully.
When he noticed that Joelson had entered, the man quickly stood up. The first thing he noticed was the number of golden stripes on Joelson’s robe.
When he looked at Joelson’s young appearance, his eyes could not help but reveal a hint of surprise.
There were not many such young geniuses. As long as nothing unexpected happened, every one of them would become a big shot in the empire.
“Are you here to receive the benefits of being a high mage this year?”
The man welcomed Joelson in. He was also a sixth rank high mage, but he was much older than Joelson.
“You shouldn’t be more than twenty-five years old, right? You’ve already reached the sixth rank. Which batch of graduates are you from the Tulip Academy?”
Perhaps it was because of his experience that Joelson looked much more mature. The man had guessed Joelson’s age quite wrongly, but it was enough to make him surprised and envious.
Joelson shook his head and said, “I haven’t graduated yet.”
The man was stunned at first.
Then he heard Joelson say seriously, “And, I’m here today to re-authenticate the mage level.”
The man thought he heard wrong.
“Huh? What did you say? You haven’t graduated yet? You’re here to re-authenticate the mage level? You broke through again?!”
The man shouted in surprise.
His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief as he looked at Joelson.
How was this possible?!
There was only one situation when a mage went to the Mage Guild to authenticate their strength.
That was, once their strength had made a breakthrough, the golden stripes on the mage’s robe would need to be increased again.
Joelson was a sixth-tier mage to begin with. After breaking through, he would be a seventh-tier mage.
How old was he?!
The man’s envy towards him had completely turned into jealousy.
Becoming a seventh-tier mage at such a young age, he would definitely be able to advance to eighth or even ninth-tier in the future.
“Please follow me.”
The man respectfully led Joelson into a room in the guild.
After searching through a drawer-filled cabinet, he found a crystal ball covered in dust.
“I’m sorry,” the man said embarrassedly. “It’s been a long time since anyone has come to verify the rank of a mage above level-seven.”
The man wiped the crystal ball carefully and wiped it so that there was not a speck of dust on it. Then, he respectfully handed it to Joelson.
