the next day.
Eli opened the door and walked out of the room.
There were already many pedestrians on the street at this time, most of them wearing linen clothes and linen trousers. The air was fresh but still had a fishy smell, and feces could even be seen occasionally on the road.
I have to say that the environment in this world is still not that beautiful.
Fortunately, this situation will be much better in urban areas, and Eli wants to solve this problem today.
Maester Lemon gave him three days' leave and asked him to take care of his own affairs first, and Eli had already made an appointment with someone to find a new place to live.
…
"Sir, what do you think of this place?"
In front of a remote house, a man asked respectfully to Eli in front of him.
"Not bad!" Eli looked at the house in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.
This is a house located in the north of King's Landing City. It is relatively remote and is located almost three thousand meters away from the library.
The appearance adopts a relatively common architectural form in the empire, and ordinary blue stone bricks are used on the outside, which is full of historical flavor, and there are also large green plants hanging on it.
"You are a student of Bachelor Lemon. Don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you." The man replied with a smile.
If it weren't for Maester Lemon, how could he have such an attitude towards a young man.
When Eli and Maester Lemon were talking about where they lived yesterday, Maester Lemon said he could help, and then asked Eli to find the man in front of him the next day. He had made all arrangements.
Although he had just become his student, Eli could already feel the changes.
"You can go in and have a look with me." The man said with a smile.
Eli nodded and followed the man.
Following the man into the house, Eli found that although it looked a little shabby on the outside, it was very clean inside, with no peculiar smell, and the area was not small.
The house is independent, with only one floor and a small courtyard.
There are four rooms inside, a large living room, a bathroom, and even a spacious basement. The interior decoration is also good, and some basic furniture is provided. He can even live in it directly with his belongings. .
After looking around, Eli was satisfied with the environment, but he was not sure whether the price was beautiful.
As if he saw Eli's concerns, the man smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Maester Lemon has made all the arrangements. The owner of this house belongs to the Vitali family, and Maester Lemon is the consultant of the Vitali family. Therefore, you can rent it for two silver coins per month. Get off him."
It is worth mentioning that after becoming a regular employee, his salary was also increased to five silver taels, which was an epic increase, which gave him enough money to choose a residence.
In fact, he originally went to look at a larger villa, but after learning about the price, he was directly persuaded to leave. It was not something he could afford to live in now.
What's more, if you live in a villa, you must hire a maid, a coachman, etc., which is another expense, and his salary of five silver tals cannot support it at all.
"Two?" Eli had some doubts. This was a little cheaper than he thought.
"That's right, including the rent. The rent here is originally five tals a month, but you only need to pay two. This is why this place is so remote. If it is close to the city center, the price may be higher for such a large area. You have to double it several times." The man replied with a smile, trying his best to sell it.
"Then let's go here!" Eli nodded.
The environment here is quiet, there are no lively streets around, it is far away from the city center, and there is a basement where you can conduct some witchcraft research.
As for testing witchcraft, the power is small, and the basement can barely do it. For powerful witchcraft, uh, why should you test it at home? Wouldn't it be better to go outside the city, into the sewers, or some other place?
Moreover, powerful witchcraft may also attract some people's attention. After all, although the empire does not seem to know the existence of wizards, Eli believes that if he is exposed, there will be huge trouble, which is not something he is willing to face. Yes.
"Did you bring the contract?" Eli asked.
"Bring it." The man said enthusiastically, and then took out the contract.
After confirming that there was no problem with the contract, Eli took the quill that the man carried and wrote his name, then handed him twelve silver tals, a total of half a year's rent, and everything here is paid at half-year intervals. rent.
"Okay, are you sure you live alone?" the man asked, recalling the previous conversation.
In the previous chat, Eli said that he lived alone.
"Yeah." Eli nodded.
"Well, if you need house cleaning or other services, you can contact me. Don't worry, we are professionals." The man said with a smile and began to promote their additional business.
"No need." Eli said, thinking of some witchcraft that could be used to clean it.
"Okay." The man was a little disappointed, but he immediately regained his enthusiasm.
The two chatted briefly again, handed Eli the key, and then the man left.
That night, Eli came here with his only possessions, a few linen clothes and trousers, and notes. He simply packed them up. In the empty study, Eli lit a candle and started reading.
During this period of time, Eli also read part of this book and accumulated a lot of questions. He wanted to find someone to communicate with, but unfortunately, he didn't see any wizards in this ghost place.
He can only rely on his own independent thinking and repeated consideration of the accumulated problems. This is also thanks to the fact that the notes are detailed enough to record various problems during the apprenticeship, as if the author has already considered this situation.
After thinking for a while, Eli skimmed over the notes section and turned the page directly to the end, which was about witchcraft.
A large number of zero-ring wizard hands, venom splash, mental perception, light spell, switch, stun spell, touch of fatigue, quick immunity, appease animals, thorn shield, shadow sneak...
There are a lot of them, all of which are zero-ring witchcraft suitable for apprenticeship.
Of course, the note seems to be exactly what Salin Metatlin said, it is an apprenticeship note, and what Eli wants to do now is to choose the right one to learn from these witchcrafts.
There are six major categories of witchcraft, namely the conjuration system, the prophecy system, the control system, the evocation system, the necromantic system and the transformation system.
According to the habits of ordinary wizards during the apprenticeship period, they usually choose one or two categories to learn, because the apprentice's energy and time are limited, and intensive training is the best choice.
Learning too much will only involve too much energy. Not only will it involve time for meditation, but you may not have time to fully study. It is broad but not refined, which wizards do not agree with.
But Eli felt that he could master them all and grind them slowly.
Only children make choices, so of course he wants them all.
