This pocket should have his last two gold coins and more than a dozen silver coins, but at this time it became empty and nothing left.

Lucian touched it hard with his hands a few times, and even opened his pocket and looked carefully, but he didn't even see the shadow of a silver coin, and he suddenly became panicked.

This is the only little money left. If it is gone, he will not say that he will continue to stay in Doral City and find a suitable job opportunity, and he will not even have the travel expenses to go home.

More importantly, he can't even pay for the meal of the dozen silver coins in front of him!

The owner of the noodle restaurant was naturally knowledgeable. Seeing Lucian's appearance, he didn't know what was going on, and the smile on his face suddenly became cold.

"Please pay the bill, this guest."

Lucian pinched his pocket, a trace of cold sweat slid off his forehead, and his thoughts were turning desperately in his heart.

what to do?

what to do!

Seeing that Lucian was silent, the boss's face became colder and his tone of speech increased slightly.

"This guest, aren't you planning to have a tycoon meal?"

When other guests in the noodle restaurant heard the movement here, they all looked at it.

Seeing Lucian's slightly panicked face and looking at his white-washed clothes, people burst into laughter.

"Haha, a little poor guy wants to come here to eat and drink. Boss, just think you are unlucky."

"Boss, you will know that there is no money when you look at him. I think your bowl of noodles will be compensated!"

"Hey, look at this kid's pretty upright appearance, why are you embarrassed to do such a shameful thing? Could it be that he is extremely hungry, right?"

...

Listening to the crowd around him, Lucian's face turned red, but he couldn't find anything to refute.

The fact is that he can't find any money to pay the bill, so he can only bear the boss's cold face and the ridicule of the people around him.

He frowned and thought for a moment, and mustered up the courage to speak: "Boss, I..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the uncle sitting opposite him suddenly slapped the table.

"This is a gold coin, and I paid for my share in front of this young man."

Lucian was stunned. The boss glanced at the uncle, wiped his hand, put away the gold coin on the table, and left straight.

The others saw that there was no fun to watch. They laughed twice and stopped paying attention to this place.

"Thank you... Thank you..." Lucian looked a little embarrassed, and was excited and hurriedly thanked the uncle constantly.

The uncle waved his hand and glanced at him up and down: "Look at how you look, you shouldn't be a person who eats and drinks. Why? Are you in trouble?"

Lucian calmed down at this time, thought about it carefully, and soon understood.

It must be the vulgar short man who bumped into him on the road just now!

He must have taken the opportunity to steal his own money!

Lucian felt extremely regretful. He thought that his parents had told him countless times before going out to be careful of thieves outside, but he didn't expect that he was still hit.

If this kind uncle hadn't helped him to help him with his job today, it would be a blessing for him to let his boss agree to pay the bills with his job.

"I...maybe I encountered a thief..." Lucian explained with a wry smile.

"Well... there are many people in Doral City and many thieves. I encountered them when I first came here, which is not surprising." The uncle nodded with a smile. He looked at Lucian again and continued to ask, "You should be a magician, right?"

Lucian was stunned: "How did you see it?"

"I sensed magic fluctuations on you." Seeing the surprised expression on Lucian's face, the uncle pointed at himself: "No wonder, I am also a magician, but my level is not high, and I am just a level 3 magician until now."

Lucian said oh, still feeling a little strange.

What he wondered was not how this uncle who had never known him knew that he was a magician, but that he wondered what the uncle called "level three magician".

Since the promulgation of the Magicians' Peace Convention ten years ago, magicians on the mainland have no longer measured their personal power, but have evaluated them based on their roles and professional skills and knowledge they can master.

The so-called "level three-level magician" evaluation standard has long been thrown aside by the magician union that initially formulated it, and no magician will use this standard to judge his level.

Moreover, under the leadership of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, the traditional magician ratings that have flourished on the mainland in recent years have long been completely out of date. It is impossible to accurately describe the ability of a magician.

For example, at Lucian's current level, because he rarely studies those magic with strong destructive power, if he follows traditional evaluation standards, he may now be a second-level or third-level magician.

However, with the new magic theory education he received at Philip College, his understanding and mastery of magic far exceeded that of traditional magicians.

As long as he is willing, his combat power will not be worse than the traditional level 5 or even level 6 magician.

It’s just that combat power is very boring for the magicians on the mainland today, so not many magicians will study it carefully.

After all, under the restrictions of the "Magic Peace Convention", magicians cannot participate in wars, so they naturally cannot reflect their destructive power.

Moreover, even if he participated in the war, the magician's personal strength was not enough to see enough in the face of various powerful military magic machines and would not play any role.

As for the traditional choice of joining the Chamber of Commerce as a guard, it has long been replaced by various Chamber of Commerce guards equipped with light military magic machinery, and there is no such thing as magicians.

What's more, instead of joining the Chamber of Commerce as a guard, it is better to join the Chamber of Commerce as a researcher or engage in other related magic research work. The money you earn is only more money than serving as a guard, and it is easier, and you won't be in danger of life.

In short, it is very rare to introduce yourself like this uncle using a "level three magician".

At least this is the first time Lucian has encountered it.

"What? Not familiar with the concept of a third-level magician?" The uncle seemed to see through Lucian's thoughts and laughed. "Young magicians like you must be unfamiliar with them."

Lucian forced a smile, not knowing how to answer.

Fortunately, the boss came back at this time and handed over the money he found to the uncle, eased the awkward atmosphere.

The uncle took the money, stood up and waved to Lucian.

"Let's go."

Lucian was stunned and looked at the uncle inexplicably.

The uncle smiled and said, "Aren't you stolen all the money by a thief? You shouldn't be a local, how do you plan to survive next?"

Lucian gritted his teeth: "I will try to find a short job and earn some travel expenses for the trip back."

"So it just so happens that I have a short worker who needs some magic knowledge. It takes three days. One gold coin a day. If you want to come, leave."

Lucian hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and stood up.

The uncle smiled at Lucian and said with a serious expression: "Young man. It's nothing to encounter difficulties for the time being, there is always a solution."

Lucian said "um" and after walking behind for a while, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Uncle, can you ask what the job is? By the way, I haven't asked your name yet."

"Just call me Rondo. As for the work... I opened a small workshop myself, and recently I received a job, which was to produce a batch of magic fans for a factory. I just need to temporarily recruit some magic array technicians to help me with my work. It's okay for you to draw the primary wind power array?" the uncle suddenly asked.

"Ah? Ah. No problem... This magic array is relatively simple..."

"That's fine." Uncle Rondo nodded. "The other party was urging me more urgently. I originally wanted to come to the city to recruit some temporary technicians. I met you when I was having a meal. You don't have to thank me much. If you can help me complete this batch of goods, don't delay it. Instead, I should thank you more."

Lucian quickly waved his hand: "No, no, you not only paid me the meal, but also gave me work. No matter what, I should thank you."

Uncle Rondo smiled slightly and did not argue with Lucian about these things. He took him to a street corner except for the noodle shop, and then got on a bus stop.

The bus drove all the way out of Doral City. When I was several kilometers away from the city, I stopped at a small stop next to a road.

Uncle Rondo got out of the car with Lucian again and walked along a bottom road next to the highway for a while. A small manor appeared in front of him.

"arrive."

Lucian looked at the somewhat old manor in front of him, and felt strange.

Why did Uncle Rondo open his small workshop here?

This place is so far from Doral City, and it is not in the industrial area outside Doral City. It is inconvenient to transport parts or finished products, and it is obviously not a suitable location.

"This is a small manor left to me by my ancestors. If you want to find such a large piece of land in the city and industrial areas, it will cost more." Perhaps seeing the doubts in Lucian's eyes, Uncle Rondo explained.

"oh……"

Lucian responded with insight and followed Uncle Rondo towards the gate of the manor.

There were two guards standing at the door of the manor. When they saw the two coming, they grinned at Uncle Rondo, waved their hands and let them in.

Walking into the manor, Lucian looked at the ruined scene in the manor and felt even more confused.

Since this is Uncle Rondo's small workshop, at least you should hear some magic machine tools working, right?

At least... there shouldn't be a thick layer of gray everywhere in the manor, and even spider webs can be seen everywhere, right?

After taking two more steps, Lucian suddenly felt a little alert in his heart and stopped.

"Uncle Rondo, I... I suddenly remembered that there were still some things. I'm afraid I can't do this job. As for the money I owe you, I promise I will pay it back to you in the future." Lucian hesitated.

Uncle Rondo looked at Lucian deeply, and the gentle smile that had been hanging on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a strange smile that made Lucian feel cold in his heart.

"What? I owe me fifteen silver coins and want to leave like this? How can that be?"

Lucian couldn't help but take a step back.

"Uncle Rondo, you..."

Uncle Rondo suddenly raised his hand, and Lucian immediately felt a strange magic wave echoing around him.

"Magic fluctuations interfere?" Lucian was shocked. He was about to mobilize the magic power in his body to stabilize the magic space around him again, but the two strong men suddenly emerged from somewhere.

A strong man hit Lucian's neck with a knife, and his eyes immediately turned dark and he fainted. (~^~)
