"I do, of course I do."

Hornlai's purpose is to join the Mage Guild, and of course he would not refuse.

"Very good," the old mage turned around and walked out the door: "Come with me."

The two left the test room together, and the old mage explained as they walked: "Young man, there are two types of contracts to join the Imperial Magisters Guild. The first is to become an outer member, and the second is to become a member of the guild..."

Horn is a professional and naturally understands the rules.

Being a part of the Magisters' Guild means that you can hold positions within the Guild, receive salaries, and use the Guild Platform to obtain resources at relatively preferential prices. Correspondingly, tasks assigned by the Guild cannot be rejected.

Peripheral members can also use the guild platform to obtain resources, but there is no discount for formal members. Not to mention salary, they have to pay membership fees to the guild every year, which is that they are much freer than formal members.

For a civilian mage like Horn, who has no backing, becoming a member of the guild is a good way out, with security and resources guaranteed.

But his predecessor, Wells, was a fugitive. If he became a formal member, the guild would inevitably investigate his identity and background by preventing spies from infiltration. However, his identity cannot withstand investigation, so he has no choice.

Horn patiently waited for the old wizard to finish his explanation: "Senior Irving, I am an adventurer, I am used to freedom."

The old master looked at him with emotion: It’s good to be young...

The old wizard took Horn to the office and gave him a contract.

Horn carefully checked the content of the contract. The terms of the contract are not complicated, and they stipulated the rights and obligations of both parties in detail. He also joined the basic principles such as the guild not betrayal and the empire.

Of course, there is no perfect contract in the world. The strong can completely bypass the contract through some special methods, but how many such strong people are there?

After checking, Horn used his mental power to print his magic secret seal at the end of the contract. The font on the contract paper lit up a slight white light and then returned to its original state.

The contract has come into effect!

He paid another fifty gold coin dues, and then took a black robe and mage badge from the old mage.

Putting the badge on his chest and putting his wide robe on his body, Horn looked at his new image in the mirror beside him.

The deep black is very consistent with the mage's mysterious temperament. With his handsome appearance, it is simply fascinating.

But in terms of practicality, this robe is just average.

There is no good product for free, this robe only enchanted one trick - cleaning, and its defense is stronger than ordinary clothes.

However, Horn never thought of fighting in a robe.

Reality is not a game. Adventurer mages rarely wear robes to fight. One is because it is inconvenient to walk in the forest in a wide robes, and the other is because the caster is the priority to attack the target. Wearing a robe is simply telling the enemy: I am here, you come and hit me.

In fact, mages usually only think of their robes on important occasions such as guilds, banquets, or when they are soaking in girls.

Compared to the robes, the mage badge with a magic seal is more practical. With it, Horn doesn't have to queue up when he enters the city.

That's right, formal mages are also privileged. You can go to the city by a noble passage and you are exempt from the tax on entering the city. The logo is the mage badge.

As for why the logo is a badge rather than a robe, it is because the one wearing the robe is not necessarily a wizard.

In the upper class, the sacred robe is like a certain social service industry uniform, and has long been ruined...

"Cough cough, young man," the old mage woke Horn who was studying the robe and handed over a list of spells: "Choose, the benefits of newcomers."

"Praise Merlin," Horn took the spell list, which listed a long list of magic, all of which were primary magic, and he could choose three of these magics as a benefit.

This is the political legacy left by the demigod wizard, Merlin. This benefit solved the urgent needs of the civilian wizard and greatly promoted the development of the magic cause. This is also a major reason why later generations called him the Great Sage.

Of course, there are many more legends left by the demigod wizards who have overwhelmed the entire era.

"Senior, I choose secondary fireball techniques, mage armor, and humanoid creature immobilization techniques."

Master Owen frowned slightly: "I advise you to choose the same person who escapes, such as applying oil to the soles of your feet."

"Senior, humanoid creatures are more expensive than applying oil to the soles of their feet," Horn smiled slightly: "I also want to buy some spells."

For ordinary wandering mages who have just advanced, there is definitely no extra money to buy spells, and Horn has accumulated some gold coins through adventure, which comes in handy at this time.

After receiving the benefits, he bid farewell to the old mage and came to the front desk to buy six magical tricks: protective arrows, spider web techniques, oily soles of feet, greasy techniques, hawkeye techniques and magic missiles.

At this point, the savings stored in autumn adventure are almost overwhelming.

But that's OK, this winter is enough for Horn to fully understand the magic he bought and start a new journey, which is also part of the plan.

He sat on a chair in the guild hall to study the mage manual. The mage manual introduced a lot, including the location of the public library of the Baiyancheng Magister Guild.

After reading the mage manual, Horn came to the public library.

He glanced at the library. There were not many books in the library, only twenty bookshelf, and about thirty or forty monks and apprentices stood or sat, and looked at the books quietly.

It is worth mentioning that everyone is flipping books very quickly because they all bless the reading technique.

Reading is one of the tricks that mages must master. It can greatly improve reading speed and strengthen memory. It is precisely because of this practical trick that mage apprentices can learn the knowledge that ordinary people need to master in just one or two years.

Horn walked between the bookshelf and selected books of interest. He saw a book "Survey the Footprints of the Great Sage" and curiously took it down and read it.

Through reading, he found that this was a travelogue. The author of this book was an avid fan of Merlin. He spent a lot of time studying the deeds of the Demigod Mage.

The book is not thick, and Horn blessed the reading technique and finished reading it in ten minutes.

"The true eyes see through the fog, and the seeker of truth will receive my gift," this is the last sentence at the end of the article, which is said to be the words left by Merlin before his disappearance.

But Horn smiled and put it back on the bookshelf. The rumors of Merlin's treasures have long been circulated in the Noah continent, which attracted countless people to search and dig but found nothing.

There are many versions of the clues left by Merlin before her disappearance. Horn has also heard of many "clues" such as "When the sun and the moon are in the sky, the treasure appears in the world", "When the nine stars are at the top of the sun, the sunset is at the top of the sun."

He chose another book.

In this world where knowledge is monopolized by the upper class, there are not many opportunities to read books for free, which is also a great benefit of the Algorithmist Guild.
