Chapter 12 Ways to Obtain Merit
Yihua shook his head at this. Favors are hard to repay and should be used on more valuable things, so he pushed the crystal coin back.
"Wizards pay attention to equal exchange, so let's owe the favor first."
Seeing this, Anna no longer refused, accepted the two crystal coins, handed the work in her hand to the clerk on the side, and greeted Yi Hua:
"It's not convenient to talk here, let's go to the back."
On the way behind the bar, Yihua looked at the hematite badge on Anna's chest that belonged to the second-class apprentice, and asked doubtfully:
"You work here?"
In this regard , Anna shook her head and explained.
"It's just a disguise. This cafe is an industry owned by my mentor, Mr. Rudolf. I was appointed by my mentor to be responsible for intelligence work here." It turned out that Anna was a student of Rudolf's mentor, and
Yihua felt a sense of surprise in his heart. .
This Nine-ring White Tower branch is located on the coast of the main island of the Star Tree Islands. It is managed by seven fifth-level wizard apprentices who wear gold badges and serve as mentors.
Rudolf Astarte, known as the "Messenger", is one of the fifth-class mentors, as famous as Ivar's mentor Simon "The Death Crow".
These seven Jinxun fifth-level instructors were appointed by the official wizards of the Nine-ring White Pagoda and are the managers of this branch.
"Messenger" Rudolph controls the intelligence network of this academy, and it is said that he has the ability to directly contact the real Nine-ring White Tower on the mainland.
After a while, the two walked into a cubicle behind the bar. They sat opposite each other. Yihua was the first to speak:
"I want you to find the injured apprentice and introduce him to me for treatment."
Anna recalled There was no doubt about the healing witchcraft that Yi Hua showed earlier. He just thought that Yi Hua was short of money and wanted to find opportunities to earn witch crystals.
"You have found the right person. I happen to know a lot of apprentices who go back and forth inside and outside the academy to perform bounty tasks. For them, injuries are commonplace, and yours is just a handling fee..." Anna suddenly paused for a moment and looked
at Yihua.
Yi Hua knew that now was not the time to bargain. Compared with other second- or even third-class apprentices who were good at healing, Yi Hua currently did not have many advantages.
Although there is a hospital in the college, treatment is expensive.
If an apprentice's injury is not serious, they usually buy medicine themselves, or find someone to vouch for the treatment and treat it with a trustworthy apprentice.
All things considered, it was the best choice to let Anna serve as a guarantor and charge an agency fee to contact apprentices who needed treatment.
If you want to gain merit quickly, you have to rely on the other party to introduce you. If the other party earns more, they will naturally put more effort into this matter.
But who doesn’t want to earn a little more?
If Yihua gives away a large amount of profits without any reason, it will most likely arouse the other party's suspicion, so he still needs to do superficial things.
So Yihua hesitated for a moment, his expression changed again and again, and finally gritted his teeth, deliberately showing a heartbroken expression and said: "As long as you can
introduce a few more apprentices to me, the more apprentices I have, the better I will pay you 18 %, no! 20% as the introduction fee."
Anna's expectation was around 10%-15%, and she was ready to bargain, but she didn't expect Yihua to directly offer a high introduction fee that far exceeded her expectations.
"It looks like they need money urgently."
Anna thought to herself in response to Yi Hua's troubled expression. At the same time, her look at Yi Hua softened a bit.
"Then let's sign a wizard's contract."
Anna took out a simple paper scroll from her pocket and spread it out on the table. This is a wizard's contract. Once one party violates it, he will be punished accordingly.
The market price of a relatively low-level wizard contract like this is 50 crystal coins, which is about half a wizard crystal.
Under normal circumstances, both parties should share the cost of the contract, but with a stroke of her pen, Anna said that she would waive it for Yi Hua.
Then Anna took out another bottle of ink, dipped the quill in the ink, and started discussing the contract with Yi Hua intensively.
Both parties had no objections to this cooperation, and the contract was quickly drawn up.
Wizard Contract:
"From now on, the apprentice Anna Princeton will guarantee the apprentice Ivar Fersis and introduce the wounded for his treatment.
In return, Anna will withdraw 20% of the reward collected by Ivar from each wounded person as Return.
The contract will last until both parties choose to suspend it after negotiation. Any breach of contract midway will be punished by damage to the spiritual sea."
After the draft was completed, both parties had no objections and signed their names at the end.
As the last stroke fell, the contract slowly floated into the air, ignited without fire, and burned up in the air in just a few seconds without any dust falling.
At the same time, the two of them also felt that they were bound by the contract. Once they violated it, they would inevitably suffer spiritual consequences.
Just before leaving, Yihua seemed to have thought of something, and specifically warned:
"By the way, try to find someone with more serious injuries."
Yihua had known before that the higher the karma level of the person he was helping, the more critical the situation. The more merits will be given later.
Seeing Anna's worried look, Yihua knew that the other party didn't know that his phototherapy skills had been promoted to the second level, so he had some doubts about his ability.
Unless you never use it in front of others, the existence of second-class light therapy cannot be concealed at all.
After careful consideration, Yihua decided to demonstrate the second-class phototherapy technique.
Meditating and concentrating, Yihua began to construct a model of light therapy. After just a moment, a huge golden ball of light gathered in Yihua's hands.
The dazzling golden light illuminated their skin like gold.
"Huh?"
Anna exclaimed when she saw this, and then she felt waves of tingling coming from her wrist.
He quickly raised his hand and looked at the wound left yesterday morning that had not yet fully healed.
Yihua took advantage of the situation and attached the ball of light to it. Anna felt the itching and pain from the rapid growth of skin and flesh on her wrist, and remained motionless.
When the light ball disappeared, Anna seemed to feel something and took off the bandage on her wrist.
I saw that the wrist that had not yet grown back was as smooth as ever, without any trace of injury.
Following the doubts in her heart, Ana blurted out.
"Is it second-class witchcraft?"
In response, Yihua nodded and slowly said the words he had already thought of.
——That
afternoon, Anna led the first patient to Yihua’s residence.
Yihua, who heard the sound outside the door, sighed at Anna's efficiency, ended his meditation, and stepped forward to open the door.
What came into view was a first-class young apprentice with black hair and brown eyes, a bandage on his hand, a pale face and freckles.
Yihua stared at it for a few seconds, and a thin white halo appeared on the young apprentice. At the same time, a message was also revealed:
"Karma Level: Neutral Good (7/100)"
Yihua was seen wearing it on his chest. Wearing the gray stone badge of the same first-class apprentice, the black-haired boy looked suspicious.
"He is also a first-class apprentice? Are you sure he can cure me?"
Anna, who changed into a burgundy robe in the afternoon, knew that Yihua deliberately concealed it and did not reveal the fact that Yihua was a "second-class apprentice" in advance.
Anna didn't say much to explain this, but looked at Yihua.
