Su Ye’s heart beat faster.

Su Ye really wanted to calm down, but when he thought about the things that he could get with the Mana Core Badge, he couldn’t help it. If he could obtain something that could improve his intelligence, that would be of great help to him.

After thinking for a long time, Su Ye exited the Wasteland Space and sent a message to Nidern.

“Teacher, I would probably some magic badges shortly. What do you think I can get with a magic badge? Is there anything that can increase my intelligence?”

“I’ll think about it and talk to you later.”

Su Ye expressed his gratitude and continued to look through the unread messages.

Soon, he saw a familiar sender whose name he could not remember.

That person’s name was made up of thirty-three words.

Su Ye instinctively chose one of the words to address him, Hartsock.

Su Ye recalled Hartsock’s previous rejection and was about to delete the message. However, he realized that he was the president of Plato Chamber of Commerce after all and was in charge of the largest funding for the entire academy, so he opened the message.

“Dear Su Ye, although your past is full of misdeeds, you have learned from your mistakes; although your grades are bad, you are improving every day; although your reputation is notorious, you can wash away the filth; although your future seems to be bleak, you have already turned the tide. The person who sent the wrong message to me has already been fired and turned into ashes. I hope that we will not give up our original deal just because of a small accident. Our chamber of commerce has decided that we will continue to work with you until the world collapses. Your collaborator and best friend, Hartsock Ladon Callinus Fafnir Afanc Hydra Ouroboros Taras… Nidhoggur Midgard Tiamat.”

Su Ye’s emotion was not affected after reading it.

Just as Su Ye was about to delete the message, Hartsock sent a second one.

“After personally considering Nidern’s request, I found that it is too harsh on you for us to take 30% of the profit. I am willing to pay an additional 3,000 Gold Eagle Coins as a sign of sincerity from our chamber of commerce.”

“5,000,” Su Ye raised the price. If the other party did not agree, he would find another chamber of commerce to work with.

There were many powerful chambers of commerce in Greece. Some of them even were related to the Divine Temple. They were as good as Plato Chamber of Commerce. Plato Chamber of Commerce’s strength was its manufacturing ability.

“Deal! But I am no far away in Miletus, and it will be difficult for me to return in a short time. On the day of signing the agreement, the Vice President of our chamber of commerce will sign the agreement on my behalf. Please do not think that I am too rude. After all, we are all serving Master Plato and the Academy.”

“I understand. I hope that we will continue to work together in the future,” Su Ye replied.

Su Ye pondered for a moment, thinking that Carlos was kind of his lucky star. In just a few days, he had earned five thousand Gold Eagle Coins from Plato Chamber of Commerce without doing anything.

Fifty small talents!

However, when Su Ye thought of those small artistic and martial talents, he suddenly had a headache.

“When I get the five thousand Gold Eagle Coins, I will try to use a new combination for the sacrifice. I don’t believe that I won’t get any talents for wisdom!”

As Su Ye was thinking, Nidern’s reply appeared in the Spellbook.

Su Ye read it carefully.

“You know, every mage, every warrior, and even every person, once regretted a certain choice he or she made in the past. In the world of magic, almost every mage, look closely, almost every one of them regrets one thing, they didn’t choose the most correct magic when they were staring at a lower level.”

“There are two reasons why we regret it. The first reason is that no one knows what kind of talent they will get. They often spend their time and energy on magic that they might not be good at. For example, I used to spend a lot of time and energy on wind magic because I liked it. But after I became a Silver Mage, I realized that I was better at ice magic. This was one of the main reasons why it was so difficult for me to become a Sage Mage.”

“The second reason why we regret, or rather, were sorry was that when we are at our worst, even if we know that some good things will be of great use to us in the future, but we don’t have enough money, or we don’t dare to risk everything, we have to give up on a certain magic.”

After reading this, Su Ye stopped. Instead, he started to think habitually, thinking about his own life experience and the magic he knew.

After that, Su Ye continued to read.

“You’ve been learning for a month now. You know very well that for mages, the present is very important, but the future is even more important. If I had specialized in ice magic from the very beginning, I might be a Sage Mage now. Therefore, I hope that you can choose the path that you won’t regret.”

“You asked me what I would exchange for with the Mana Core Badge. I pondered for a long time after reading your message. Every young mage fantasizes about this, but it was usually just a fantasy. Apart from a very small number of demigod families or warrior families, no one is willing to give a Mana Core Badge to young mages. Of course, demigod families basically consist of warriors.”

“I once thought about it too. If I were a Black Iron Mage and had a Mana Core Badge, what would I exchange for?”

“I thought I’d get the remains of a flaming gnome.”

“Of all the Black Iron Spells, there are two spells that have the largest growth potential for most people. One is the fireball, and the other is the Hand of Magic. Although the other spells are powerful, they can be replaced. Only these two spells have unique features, especially the Hand of Magic. Creating an invisible hand is like extending your own hands. Even after you become a Legendary Mage, it can still be very useful, even if it is not too powerful.”

“However, many people have forgotten about the Servant Summoning Technique. Yes, Black Iron Mages can only summon apprentice servants, and they will definitely be replaced. This is because any Bronze Mage’s Black Iron servants are stronger than an apprentice servant. However, nothing is absolute.”

“In the ancient times, there were a large number of magical creatures with incredible abilities. However, after the Age of Destruction and the Dark Ages, most of them disappeared. I’ve read many mages’ notes. Every mage’s note, including Master Socrates’ notes, lamented over this matter. This is because magical creatures and magical beasts are the sources of witchcraft, and witchcraft is the source of magic.

“If we have enough magical creatures to study, the power of mages will at least be doubled. Even though we know very little about the capabilities of magical creatures, we have still discovered a lot of things.”

“There are four main types of precious knowledge related to Black Iron Spells. The first one is the theory of multiple Hands of Magic. Secondly, the theory of infinite fireballs. The third one is the theory of innate servants, and the last one is the theory of servants’ ethnicity.”

“Only Silver or Gold Mages have the chance to be involved with the theory of multiple Hands of Magic ”

“The theory of infinite fireballs requires not only fire elemental bloodline but also a large amount of fire elemental talents. Other than Master Heraclitus, the King of Fire, no one else can do it, so there’s no need to talk about it.”

“The theory of innate servants was discovered after studying magical creatures. If we can summon a special servant, then, over time, we will obtain a Talent Spirit that we don’t have from this servant. This matter has once caused quite a stir.”
