Chapter 79
After Gao De finished his dinner in a leisurely manner, the time had reached meal time, and the restaurant had become lively.
He sensibly got up and left, not occupying the seat for too long and affecting others' business.
This meal took more than forty minutes.
From Gao De's perspective, he did not find any suspicious characters.
Instead, he saw with his own eyes a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, carrying a linen school bag, push open the door of house number 237 Kamengde and walk in.
That should be Mage Seda and Misu's child: Xie Er.
Recalling the details in the letter Mage Seda wrote to his wife, Xie Er should also be a mage apprentice; otherwise, he wouldn't have said his "spell talent is far superior to mine."
Mage Seda also planned to leave that recommendation letter for the Ceris School of Magic to Xie Er.
But Gao De had no way of knowing what rank of mage apprentice Xie Er was.
The world of mages is not like the cultivation novels seen in the previous life, where a divine sense could reveal the other party's cultivation realm.
Mages do not have such means, and it is not so easy to probe.
Unless the mage is willing to cooperate with others' investigation, it is very difficult for others to accurately know their mage rank, except for the mage themselves.
At most, one can make a preliminary judgment through the spells cast and one's own experience—for example, someone who can cast 1st-circle spells is at least a 1st-circle mage.
Actually, this situation is more reasonable and conforms to common sense.
In the previous life, no one could see through another's assets at a glance; at most, one could make a preliminary judgment based on their consumption.
"I have to look a few more times; I can't say that because I didn't see any lurkers once, it means there are none." After leaving the restaurant, Gao De did not set his mind at ease.
After all, more than ten years had passed, and even if there were still people lurking in the dark, they would likely not be as attentive as they were at the beginning.
Therefore, it still needs to be verified multiple times.
"I'll come back to see tomorrow at noon." Gao De made his decision.
Multiple verifications, covering different time periods, will make the conclusion more reliable.
2nd day of Sun-Shining Month.
After breakfast, Gao De locked the door and left home.
He had to go to the workshop street first to pick up the cloth banner he had ordered yesterday.
After taking the banner back and hanging it at his door, there would be one more channel to attract customers, rather than just relying on the "advertisement" at the entrance of the Craftsman Guild.
After getting the banner, Gao De took a public carriage again to the Siren District.
It is wonderful to say that in the past two months, Gao De had barely realized the little wish he made as the owner of the herb garden: "commuting by carriage."
After getting off in the Siren District, he headed straight for the potion shop.
Compared to the tripartite balance of power in Hogen City, the number of potion shops in Bremen is much larger, and the competition is more intense.
Gao De randomly chose a medium-sized potion shop and walked in.
It can be seen that the variety of potions in the potion shops here is far richer than in the potion shops in Hogen City.
Even basic mana potions are displayed casually on the shelves, unlike the potion shops in Hogen City, where they are all placed in medicine cabinets and not displayed in the open.
"Help me get ten sets of basic mana potions," Gao De said directly.
He came on this trip to replenish basic mana potions.
The bottle of basic mana potion he drank yesterday was the last one he had on hand.
"Okay, sir."
An unexpected surprise was that basic mana potions here only cost 6 gold per set, and the price had not increased.
Ten sets of basic mana potions only cost 60 gold, saving 5 gold compared to the price in Hogen City.
The entire potion market in Bremen is large enough, and the prices of most potions are very stable.
It won't be like in Hogen City, where the price of basic mana potions fluctuates when there are slightly more foreign mages.
Craftsman Guild.
Anna was sitting at the front desk reading a borrowed biography as usual.
The job of a receptionist at the Craftsman Guild is generally leisurely and also very decent.
So the competition for the job is also very fierce, and it was only through her family's connections that she was able to successfully get this job. Flipping through the reading material in her hand nonchalantly, her thoughts were drifting, and she couldn't help but think of the young restoration craftsman from yesterday.
Mr. Bass said that based on the speed and level of restoration of the light beads he demonstrated, as long as he doesn't degenerate, he will inevitably be one of the top restoration master craftsmen in Bremen in the future.
"Really amazing!" Anna sighed a little.
It wasn't until a burst of footsteps came that she suddenly recovered from her distraction, looked at the visitor, and saw a young lady wearing a pale purple dress.
In a situation where dyeing technology is not developed, those who can wear clothes of a special color like pale purple are, without exception, people of noble status.
Anna hurriedly got up, greeted her, and said familiarly: "Good morning, noble lady, is there anything you need?"
"I want to find a highly skilled restoration craftsman." The young lady bit her lip lightly, a trace of faint melancholy hidden in her beautiful eyes.
Anna asked the young lady to sit down in the guest area nearby, and then asked about the specific situation to understand the specific needs.
The young lady took out a beautiful necklace emitting a blue-white radiance from the side pocket of her long dress.
The necklace is carved from pure gemstones, and each gemstone is connected by silver chains as thin as hair.
The exquisite craftsmanship makes the whole necklace look light yet noble.
Tiny runes are engraved on the surface of the gemstones, emitting the power of magic.
However, this beauty has a flaw—the most important gemstone in the center of the necklace has a crack that cannot be ignored.
"This is a necklace left to me by my mother. Please, I must ask you to help me find a highly skilled restoration craftsman to repair it."
Anna looked at the crack on the gemstone, watched for a while, and said deliberately:
"Such a crack is not very easy to repair..."
The restoration of a restoration craftsman tends to restore the damaged magic runes.
And the necklace in front of her is first damaged in the body, which then affects the runes on the body.
If it were just wear and tear, it would be easy to say; just shave off the worn part.
But if it is cracked in half, it is very difficult to repair.
Because the carrier cracked in half cannot carry a complete magic rune.
"Can you use a mending spell to repair the crack first?" The young lady proposed her own idea.
Anna thought for a while and said: "I cannot be sure whether it will affect the magic runes on it after being repaired with a mending spell."
"Whether it can be operated specifically depends on the opinion of the restoration craftsman; they are the professionals."
"Then please help me recommend a suitable restoration craftsman..." The young lady's mood was slightly low.
Anna got up and took the roster from the counter, which recorded all the craftsmen registered in the Craftsman Guild.
She turned to the page of restoration craftsmen and looked back and forth at the few names that were not many.
Finally, Anna's gaze fell on a name.
"Perhaps you can try to find him."
The young lady looked intently and found that it was a restoration craftsman named "Guge Ditu."
It was written on it that his registration date was just yesterday when he joined the Craftsman Guild.
"... Master Guge just joined the guild, has his level been verified?" She said very tactfully, but the meaning was very clear.
Anna nodded, "He may not be the one with the highest level among all restoration craftsmen, but for your situation, he might be the most suitable for you."
"In yesterday's assessment, Master Guge restored a slightly worn light bead to be as good as new, as if it had never been damaged at all, and no traces of restoration could be seen at all. This is something that other famous restoration craftsmen cannot do."
"He is very good at repairing damaged objects, and he also has the ability to repair 1st-circle magical artifacts."
"Your necklace should also be just a 1st-circle magical artifact." Anna had a good eye.
"I see..." The young and beautiful lady nodded, "Then I will ask Master Guge to help me repair my 'Lake Heart'."
"This is his address." Anna pointed to the roster, below the name "Guge Ditu": 437 Kamengde Street.
"Also, a reminder, Master Guge needs to rest for two hours at noon. If you want to find him, please do so before twelve o'clock noon or after two o'clock in the afternoon."
"I understand, thank you." The young lady got up and left the Craftsman Guild.
