Chapter 2833: Male and Female Mages, Sold Out
Two days later, Yiaole Mu Ling.
Outside a tall Mage Tower that was entirely pure white, a flash of spiritual light flickered, and a mist-like blur instantly appeared on the street. The next moment, the blur dissipated, and four or five young people appeared out of thin air. They were chatting and laughing, their demeanor quite relaxed.
However, three of the five kept looking into the distance while talking, and the youngest among them urged impatiently:
"Hurry up, Jin Mu! If we go late and the Ming Shui Chamber of Commerce is sold out, what will we do?"
"Didn't you say before that the Communication Magic Tool from the Tower of Time was nothing special? Why are you so insistent on buying one this time?" Jin Mu teased.
In fact, he knew the reason all too well. Previously, this Communication Magic Tool was not much different from common Magic Net Background Communication Artifacts; it was just that the Tower of Time's style was more pleasing to the eye, but that was not enough to make some people pay a higher price for it.
As for Jin Mu himself, he had confidence in Xia Duo. He believed that since this Communication Magic Tool could sell for such a high price now, there must be a reason for it, and the results had proven him right.
So much so that his companions were all incredibly envious.
"Jin Mu, the reason Hui is so anxious is because that female Mage, Gina, whom Archmage Aersong formally took as a student some time ago, was showing off in front of him for a long time."
"You're talking nonsense, it's not because of Gina. I just think the Tower of Time's Communication Magic Tool is pretty good, and as you've all seen, there might be new functions released in the future. Buying one now is definitely not a loss!"
Therefore, the source of female Mages is rare. Either they have outstanding talent and are discovered early to be cultivated by a Mage Tower, and in the future, they will need to shoulder fewer obligations, including but not limited to becoming the wife of a lord or a lord's heir.
It is fortunate that the social atmosphere in Winakem is generally okay; otherwise, Jin Mu and the others would not have had much interaction with Hui and the others. Even if they were childhood neighbors, how much sentiment could remain after becoming Mages?
Once a Mage leaves the protection of spells, they are but mortal flesh and blood. As long as an opportunity is found, a poison needle or a Dagger is enough to end it.
When the Mage saw this, the Mage over there had indeed stopped, as if waiting for him. This scene made his scalp tingle, but in the end, he bit the bullet and ran over.
As for Jin Mu's side, there were three people in total. The Mage was obviously already there, and there were only two left. If the Mage went over, it would be just right, with three people on each side who hadn't purchased one yet.
In addition, there is an unverified rumor that the possibility of children born to a Mage and a Mage becoming Mages is greater than that of ordinary people.
After Hui and the others arrived, the Mage immediately pulled a long face, "I knew it, I knew it, I still came too late."
Being able to enter the Pure White High Tower is definitely considered outstanding talent among ordinary people, but compared to those who joined the Winakem Mage Tower, there is still some gap.
"Good for you, Mage. Last time I asked you to go to the Ming Shui shop with me, you wouldn't go. Why are you out this time?" The Mage's voice reached the ears of Hui and the others from across half the street.
Although many Netheril Mages don't mind marrying an ordinary person for the sake of their own safety, if the other half is also a Mage, that is obviously a more ideal situation.
If it weren't for the Mage, Jin Mu and the others might not dare to strike up a conversation with a young female Mage from the Winakem Mage Tower, but with the Mage as an intermediary, they also wanted to give it a try.
The few looked at each other and smiled, then followed. In fact, it wasn't just the Mage who had someone they liked; they might not lack objects of affection either, it was just that recruitment at the Pure White High Tower in Yiaole Mu Ling was always late.
Fortunately, at this time, the Mage once again provided an assist, "Go, go, hurry over, don't keep them waiting!"
Therefore, in Netheril, any female Mage may have multiple male Mage admirers, but those male Mages may not necessarily use normal means to seek a marriage contract, and might instead use various methods.
As for safety, there is too much Magic that can guarantee it. What's more, even for an ordinary person, wanting to kill a pillow companion who is a Mage is not as difficult as one might imagine.
Hui's defensive retort immediately drew laughter from his companions, but just as they passed an intersection, several companions suddenly fell silent, and then the Mage sneakily pushed the Mage:
With Hui saying that, the Mage also became somewhat hesitant. On one side was a friend in the Pure White High Tower, and on the other was Jin Mu, a neighbor who had grown up with him since childhood, which made it difficult for him to choose.
This was not a lie; only Hui had bought the new Communication Magic Tool from the Tower of Time, while the other four had not, and were preparing to go buy one this time.
A girl can be sent to a Mage Tower at thirteen to see if she has talent; sending her later in her twenties is also not too late. But for a girl, marriage and childbirth at eighteen or nineteen are common. What kind of family would dare to spare no cost to cultivate a female Mage who might have nothing to do with their own family in the future?
Currently, the local Mages in Winakem mainly exist in the Two Towers and One Temple. The Two Towers are the Mage Towers of the two great Arcanists, Winakem and Buluode, which have the highest standards, but this does not mean there are no other Mage Towers; they just have slightly lower standards.
So without a doubt, any female Mage in the magic world is an ideal marriage partner for a male Mage—either they have money, or they have power, and most importantly, they have a common language.
The Mage community has more men than women. It is not that women are naturally less intelligent than men, but that women in the current era need to bear far more pressure than men.
The One Temple is, of course, the largest Mystery Temple in Netheril, located in Winakem. Most Arcanists in Winakem have studied at the Mystery Temple. Although they may not necessarily become Priests of the Lady of Mystery, Knowledge is equal to everyone and will not lose its truth just because a Mage does not have Faith in the Lady of Mystery.
"Look, who is that over there? Isn't that your neighbor Jin Mu whom you've been thinking about?"
At this time, one or two Temple Mages wearing the Blue and White Star Holy Emblem could even be found outside this shop. This is a small benefit given by the Mystery Temple to every Mage who comes to the temple for further study.
Either the family is wealthy, or they are members of a lord's family, or they are a wealthy merchant family; otherwise, even a craftsman's family that is relatively well-off would find it hard to make up their mind to cultivate a female Mage.
Very soon, the group of men and women arrived outside the largest shop of the Ming Shui Chamber of Commerce in Winakem. At this time, many people were already gathered there, including Mages from other places and local Adventurers, but more of them were still local Mages.
And at this time, Hui also added fuel to the fire, "Mage, there are only two people on Jin Mu's side, maybe there are others who have the new Communication Magic Tool. If you go to our side, maybe you can buy one faster!"
……
Not only that, the Mage also screamed toward that side as if to stir up trouble, "Hey, Jin Mu, your Mage brother is here. He also wants to buy a new Communication Magic Tool. Won't you take him along?"
