It took more than an hour from the time everyone started working to the time they were caught. This mission went very smoothly.

They also discussed what to do if the decoy operation might not work due to tight winds. But now it seems that they are overthinking it.

Originally, Pei Renli thought that this mission would give him some practical experience, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, with almost no chance for him to take action.

Korra took out a bamboo tube with a pull ring and pulled it towards the sky.

Immediately, a firework with a sharp whistle flew up and exploded into an eye-catching pattern. And unlike the short-lived fireworks, the exploded pattern flashed in the sky for almost thirty seconds before gradually disappearing.

Everyone was waiting on the spot, and soon a large number of guards wearing bright and eye-catching armor arrived, and they were responsible for taking over the guy named Ji Xiu.

The leader was the Sheriff in charge of Xiacheng District. It was he who had previously told everyone about the details of the operation. However, it was not clear what his name was, Pei Renli, because when he was explaining the details of the mission, Pei Renli was busy.

Wearing women's clothing and a wig.

There was no place like a detention center in Muxing City. The guards sent Jixiu directly to prison, where they performed a set of memory recovery techniques overnight and asked him to vomit out everything he knew.

But that doesn't matter what happened to Pei Renli and the others. Unless they have another similar mission, they generally won't deal with the guards of Mu Xing City.

After finishing the work, all that's left is to go back to school and get the money, but that's not possible this time.

Mu Xing City is about four or five hours away from Naspar. Everyone set off directly after lunch. Fortunately, they met a caravan heading to Mu Xing City and took them along in a carriage, so they could make it before sunset.

Just get things done.

There will be no carriage to ride on when we go back, because no merchants will set out after dark, and the wilderness at night is still very dangerous.

Besides, even if they set off to go back immediately, they can't arrive before Naspar passes the city gate. In that case, they can only huddle outside the city gate and spend the night.

So instead of going back in a hurry, it is better to stay overnight in Muxing City and rush back to school tomorrow.

This commission was officially released by Mu Xing City. The commission fee was very high. Even if the school's share was deducted and Pei Renli was added, on average everyone could get more than three silver coins. Moreover, when he came, the Sheriff said

Accommodation was arranged for them. Although it was not a luxury hotel, it was a clean and comfortable commercial hotel standard.

Compared with the previous commission to check the condition of the dam, the reward alone was more than ten times higher. It was indeed very profitable.

After all, compared to the mission of simply looking at the dam and returning, this commission is still somewhat dangerous. The higher the difficulty, the greater the reward.

But think about it on the other hand, for Mu Xing City, even including food and accommodation, the matter was completed with only a small budget. If the guards were allowed to do this, unless a death order was given, the paid guards would definitely do it.

Fishing and paddling, because for them, it is more profitable to have less public security in Xiacheng District...

The price of hiring adventurers for a long time is too high, and you still have to rely on guards at ordinary times. In case of emergencies, adventurers are very suitable. Basically all cities have this habit.

As long as everyone is aware of the details, Pei Renli and others will certainly not delve into the issue of whether the guards are trying to get cards when they are new here.

Anyway, the things were done and it was too late to rush back, so everyone decided to take this opportunity to wander around Muxing City.

So Pei Renli went back to the hotel to change into women's clothes, and soon he appeared on the streets of Muxing City with his friends.

Although this city cannot yet be compared with a real megacity, it is also out of reach for a gradually declining town like Naspar.

When night falls, the lights arranged on both sides of the street slowly light up, and the magic-driven street lights dispel the darkness. Products from all over the world are carefully placed behind polished glass windows, and the clatter of horse hooves passes by.

Smooth and clean stone roads, horse-drawn carriages transport guests and goods to various parts of the city.

The colorful lights mix together with the busy sounds of pedestrians coming and going, forming an exaggerated atmosphere of gold and paper.

Muxing City is a trading city, and the name Muxing implies that it is also a city that never sleeps. No matter what time of day, transactions of staggering amounts of money are happening every moment.

Although it is not as prosperous as the super cities on earth, the magical world also has the unique charm of the magical world.

The four of them were like country boys entering the city. Everything they saw was new. Pei Renli even saw neon lights...

However, when I got closer, I discovered that the so-called neon lights were actually enchanted signboards, which could be regarded as an advanced application of light magic. Of course, the price of making such signs is not cheap.

Sightseeing is one thing, but since he came to Muxing City, Pei Renli didn't forget to do business, such as buying a few bottles of ink.

Not many people are literate and there is no ink for sale in Naspar. If you want it, you can only bring it to the merchants who often pass through Naspar, which is quite troublesome.

Also because there are too few people who are literate and the demand for things like paper and ink is low, it is impossible to support a store just by selling these products, so to buy ink here you don’t go to a stationery store, but to a grocery store.

As a trading city, Mu Xing City has a wide range of products. After talking to the other three people, they quickly found the grocery store. After asking, the store owner neatly placed a row of ink bottles with different prices on the counter.

The quality of the ink varies and the prices vary. There are also inks related to magic, etc. However, those kinds of things are not sold in grocery stores. You have to go to a specialized magic store.

This also made Pei Renli discover that the ink he used before was worth seven gold coins per bottle...

The ink left behind by the tyrannical demon king is of course a high-priced product. Not only is the writing clear, but it is also waterproof, and it has a light and elegant fragrance. This kind of ink is usually only used by the aristocracy, and Pei Renli unknowingly used a very high-end one.

thing.

The reward for this mission will not be received until later by the school, and the copper coins in Pei Renli's pocket are completely insufficient. However, the other three are not as poor as Pei Renli, so he first borrowed some from them and bought three bottles of the cheapest ink.

By the way, the three of them originally decided to give Pei Renli a large share of the reward for this mission, because he was the bait and it was the most dangerous job, so of course he should get more reward.

But whenever they think of Pei Renli dressing up in women's clothing and posing in front of them, they have the urge to "let's forget about it"...

–‐‐——–‐‐——

After wandering on the street for a while, no one bought anything except Pei Renli, and then everyone returned to the hotel before midnight.

This little time is not enough to go shopping. I don’t even have time to go to the most famous port in Muxing City. I just randomly picked one of the commercial streets to take a look. Since I don’t have much time, I’m afraid I can only wait until next time.

After eating the dinner provided by the hotel, everyone went back to their rooms. Pei Renli took out his spell book from his backpack and silently memorized the key points he had copied before while flipping through it.

Of course, school books cannot be taken out, but this is no reason to relax. Pei Renli must use all available time to strengthen himself.

It is foreseeable that this kind of bald-headed and explosive liver will continue for a long time, at least until the threat of the Demon King Arena disappears, there will be no relaxation.

And apart from being overwhelmed, Pei Renli also had to consider another important thing.

For example, how to make money.

In addition to requiring certain qualifications and a lot of time to train a qualified mage, the most important thing is money.

First of all, you have to learn to read, and hiring a teacher to teach you is a big expense. Plus the paper, pen, ink and other stationery for practicing calligraphy, only middle-class families can barely afford it.

In this regard, Pei Renli can jump directly, but he can't take shortcuts next.

The spells he has learned so far are all from school, but he can't always rely on these low-level spells.

If you want new spells, the most direct way is to go to the magic store to buy them. The price is absolutely astronomical for Pei Renli now.

Not long ago, I went shopping and went to a bookstore to take a look. A book from the school with the same title but a different binding method was priced as high as ten gold coins. It is not surprising that the price of a magic book was several times higher.

What's more, now he relies on runes to cast spells, and they are all low-level spells. There is no need to worry about the casting materials, but he will definitely use them when he learns high-level spells in the future, and not just once or twice.

If you want to master a certain spell, there is no shortcut. You can only practice it over and over again, so the consumption of spell casting materials is also a figure that should not be underestimated.

What's more, if he wants to take the path of a mage, copying scrolls is also a compulsory course.

Scrolls are magic consumables that can only be used once. However, by preparing more scrolls at ordinary times, you can save a lot of magic power at critical moments, which is equivalent to greatly improving your battery life. This is for mages who need combat power.

Still very important.

Copying scrolls requires not only skills, but also special ink and paper. The prices of these things...

That's why it is said that training a mage is very expensive. The cost of a qualified mage has exceeded its weight in gold. It is also a high price that Pei Renli cannot afford at present.

In short, he needs money now, a lot of money.

The valuable things left by the tyrannical demon king were all used by Ravna to earn money, and the internship remuneration arranged by the school almost once a month could not support such a huge consumption.

Pei Renli was scratching his head about this. It's not like he had never thought about making money from the knowledge on the earth like many people who traveled through time. But if you look at the development of this world, the things Pei Renli knew have long been ruined, whether it is papermaking.

Whether it's making glass or making money from time traveler projects like gunpowder, there's no executability at all.

Since knowledge on earth cannot make money, why not think about it differently, what is the fastest way to make money in this world?
