Half-elf Notebook

There are some changes though.

The number of reception desks under the association's medallion has been reduced from nine to only four.

Even the counter she had visited was now put up with a wooden sign with white letters on a black background saying "Service Temporarily Temporarily Out of Service".

"Is there…is there anything I can do for you?"

When it was Ina's turn, a waitress who looked young asked in a humbly tone.

"Newcomer?" Ina thought of the first thing.

"But given the scale of the Magicians Association, does it need to lay off staff?"

"Even if the branch is responsible for its own profits and losses, the business of the association itself is ridiculously high-end. A waiter's weekly salary is only about two silver francs and sixty groats. It shouldn't be unaffordable, right..."

Ina felt a toothache when she recalled that she had spent twenty gold coins in less than a month.

I don’t know if he guessed Ina’s question or if he had encountered too many doubts about his service ability.

The young waitress timidly explained first:

"At this time of year in previous years, many working magicians would take a month off... so some of the original front desk staff became temporary assistants..."

She spoke more and more quietly, without really explaining anything in detail.

But Ina still understood what she wanted to express.

She was a temporary receptionist with little experience.

Because the two of them were less than two meters apart, she could see the waitress's subtle movements and even feel her accelerated heartbeat.

She must have been a receptionist or trainee in the past. It's a rare opportunity for her to get this chance... Ina guessed wildly.

Seeing the white-haired girl in front of him didn't say anything.

After receiving no harsh words or instructions for substitutions.

The young waitress breathed a sigh of relief in a way that she thought the other party would not notice.

Then he mustered up his courage and asked enthusiastically:

"Beautiful lady, you are here because you are interested in magic, right?"

What does little lady mean? Who is little?

But Ina choked immediately.

After looking up and down at her own height and the other person's height, she found that the waiter was at least 1.6 meters tall, while she was only a little over 1.5 meters tall.

Hard, fist.

No! I will grow taller.

This time it was Ina who took a deep breath.

Then, she heard the waitress recommend attentively:

"Excuse me, you are interested in becoming an apprentice magic apprentice, right?"

"Here we sell everything from the introduction to meditation, the basics of magic, the details of magic invocation, the magic book of zero-level magic tricks, to the works of famous magicians, wizards' notes, and magic books translated from the elven language."

Well, a high-level magician who is striving to become a wizard can also be considered an apprentice... Ina's mouth twitched.

He ignored the waitress's subsequent string of book titles and instead directly stated his purpose.

"I need a bottle of magic ink made from the blood of a third-level magical beast, and a liner pen mixed with magic materials for drawing magic scrolls."

"And a first-level monster skin"

The young waitress was stunned for a moment, as if she suddenly understood something.

Then his face flushed, and soon turned pale again, and he apologized in panic and fear:

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you...you were a wizard."

Finally, after Ina made it clear that she didn't care, she nervously began to take out the catalogue the girl needed.

"Mr. Magician, these are the catalogs you need. Since there is a certain amount of trading demand every day, there will be price fluctuations or out-of-stock situations from time to time."

Several pieces of paper with similar material to the bounty order were respectfully pushed to Ina's side by the waitress.

Each piece of paper listed nearly ten different types of Warcraft fur or leather, followed by a brief introduction to the trading items.

She quickly scanned one photo, but it took her a while to turn over another one and continue looking at it.

It was the first time she was addressed as "sister", and she felt a little flattered and inexplicably ashamed.

Ina didn't dare let anyone look at her expression for too long.

Bee-eye rabbit skin, single price: four silver coins (base price)

The entire body is snow-white, similar to the skin of an ordinary snow rabbit, with a tiny amount of magic remaining and no magic overflowing.

It cannot be used to make magic items and is not recommended as the main material for magical weapons.

Inventory: 35 pieces, completeness: more than 80% quantity: 25 pieces, slightly defective: 10 pieces.

Demon wolf skin, single selling price: thirty silver coins.

……

Red fox skin, single price: one gold coin and two silver coins (base price)

……

"The Demon Brown Bear's, the kind with slight flaws."

"Cut it into the size of a magic scroll."

Ina said as she pressed her index finger on one of the columns on the paper.

The price/performance ratio of goods that are 80% complete is definitely higher.

But she doesn't gamble.

The skin of the demon brown bear can produce thirty scrolls.

More than 80% of them are intact, and in the best case scenario she will only lose six cards, or even less.

But this is a skill that only an excellent archer, a hunter who is good at using traps and skilled in hunting can achieve.

Usually a single hunter or a hunting team will leave many wounds on the furs they hunt.

No gaps are allowed in the reel stock.

Even wizards cannot change this principle.

Based on this, in the worst case scenario, she is likely to lose more than half of her money.

"Okay... OK, the shallow processing fee will be 10% of the product price."

"We'll confirm the quote for you right away. If you don't mind, you can wait in the lounge area."

Ina took a cup of unsweetened black tea and moved to the empty sofa.

After that special breakfast, she really doesn't like to consume sugar now.

This time she did not choose the book "The Duchess and the Knight" which she had not finished reading last time.

Instead, he switched to a stack of reading material made up of several newspapers.

This is a new thing that has been popular in the kingdom for less than a hundred years. It is a business that has been expanded by publishers who originally published various books and novels.

Its main content is to record and write about major events in various provinces and kingdoms.

The update frequency of Ina's copy is once every two weeks.

This is due to the long distances between cities, the long travel time, and the harsh preservation conditions of newspapers themselves.

It costs seventy groats a piece.

Lian Rick doesn't have the habit of buying it frequently.

A major event! One of the greatest disasters and tragedies in the kingdom in a hundred years.

——To commemorate the tenth anniversary of the fall of Blackstone Fortress and its sub-city, the pearls of the royal family will go to the Earldom of Kersroy to pray for the victims who died that year.

It feels really strange that something that was reported in the newspaper happened right at my doorstep... But An Ya Si must be too well-informed... This newspaper was only five days old from its publication date.

Ina sighed silently and immediately changed the page.

As one of the people watching the event on site, the "forward-looking" reports above were true, but they failed to arouse her interest.

The following content is the latest quotes for crops such as wheat, corn, potatoes, various ores, iron products, copper, and cotton.

In Earl's Ridge, there is an affair between a nobleman and his mistress.

A story about merchants that happened in a business trip.

Famous exhibitions, orchestra performances, publication of new books...

She had only read half of the book when a voice suddenly interrupted her.

"What a coincidence, Mr. Lake's little girl."

A man sat down on the sofa opposite Ina with a smile on his face and in a very familiar manner.
