"Of course I am willing." Little John said after a moment of hesitation.

"Do you have any concerns?" Wesley was an experienced man and quickly understood the hidden meaning in little John's words.

"Learning magic is too expensive." Little John said, looking at the laurel heart.

"That's not a problem. You have full marks in mental strength and affinity for magic elements. You can be admitted to any magic academy without taking an exam. If you join our Rhine City Magicians' Guild, the guild can give you an annual subsidy of 200 gold coins. The annual subsidy for junior magicians is 2000 gold coins." Wesley, who was further away, did not continue.

After becoming a noble magician, will you still be short of gold coins?

What they use for trading are various types of magic cores.

"Also, I will personally purchase this laurel heart for 500 gold coins. What do you think?" Wesley continued.

"Okay, thank you Master Wesley!" Little John nodded in agreement. The conditions were very good, and his psychological bottom line was 10 gold coins.

After all, he has a lot of laurel hearts.

It is said that the heartwood of elm is also a good material for making wands. You can ask about it when the time comes.

To join the Magicians Guild, one needs to sign a contract. Little John took a careful look at the contract. It had very few restrictive clauses, probably because magicians were not subject to many restrictions. The only bold point was that he, Little John, had to represent the Rhine City Magicians Guild externally.

What's wrong with that?

Maybe he will achieve great success in the future, but Rhine City is his starting point. It is a virtue to remember one's roots.

Seeing that Little John signed the contract neatly, Wesley expressed his satisfaction.

He directly paid Little John 200 gold coins for the staff and gold coins for this year's magician apprentice subsidy, even though Little John was not even a magician apprentice yet.

In addition, the introductory books on magic that little John needs are also open to the library of the Magicians' Guild for him to choose from. If he has any questions, he can ask Wesley, Old Abby, Jenny and others at any time.

Yes, the receptionist ladies at the Magicians Guild are all apprentices for Level 7 Magicians.

It was already late when I left the Magician's Guild with 700 gold coins and a bag of introductory magic books.

Little John didn't think much about it and went home.

I took out a bag of flour and went to the kitchen to make noodles. I couldn’t eat steamed buns every day.

"Little John, are you making oriental food again? What is this?" Denise came over and asked after closing her stall and going home.

"Noodles, made of wheat flour." Of course, Little John once again handed over the step of kneading the dough to the farm space.

"Wow! How luxurious!" Denise also enjoyed the treatment of a noble heir when she was a child, until her family became commoners.

"Then you don't have to eat it." Little John didn't even raise his head. He was preparing the seasoning for the noodles.

"I want to eat it! Humph!" Denise thought to herself, only little John in the family can enjoy wheat with a clear conscience. When he grows up and moves away, she will have no chance to enjoy it.

A meal is a meal.

"Oh." Little John didn't refute her. After preparing everything, he waited for his uncle and aunt to come back.

The whole family enjoyed the noodle meal very happily. After they were full, Denise went to wash the dishes. Then little John told his uncle and aunt that he was going to learn magic and move to the Magicians' Guild in the future.

"Little John, is it true? You also have a talent for magic?" Laura's face was full of surprise. This was the child she raised, so how could he not be considered her own?

"It's true." Little John nodded with a smile.

"Study magic in the Magician's Guild... I guess you, little John, have a high talent for magic, right?" Carlos's eyes were a little complicated, he obviously knew more.

After all, his eldest daughter has a talent for magic, but the tuition fee for sending her to the Magic and Martial Arts Academy is not less than a penny.

The only reason Little John could learn magic for free was that he had an extremely high talent for magic.

Is the Strauss family's bloodline so excellent?

"Yeah, it's quite high." Little John nodded in agreement. He hadn't even mentioned his annual subsidy of 200 gold coins.

"Then you should study magic well in the Magicians' Guild. If you need anything, let Laura prepare it for you." Carlos said and walked back to their own room.

When he came out again, he was holding a purse in his hand. He handed it to Little John and said, "Here are 100 gold coins. You are going to learn magic, so you need to bring more money."

Little John was a little stunned. His father only gave him 50 gold coins a year for living expenses, but his uncle actually gave him 100 gold coins!

"Here, take it. Your cousin spends dozens of gold coins a year at the Magic and Martial Arts Academy." Laura said as she stuffed the purse into Little John's palm.

Feeling the care from his uncle and aunt, little John felt warm in his heart.

It seems that his situation is not so dire. At least his uncle and aunt truly love him.

If it really doesn't work, he can change his surname to Sigmund instead of Strauss!

Of course, this is just a joke. Changing one's surname is so difficult in modern times, let alone in this other world with strict hierarchy.

The reality is that Strauss is still a nobleman, but Sigmund is not.

"Thank you, uncle and aunt. Just wait for me to work hard to become a magician!" Little John didn't say anything else.

Laura and Carlos were very relieved that they had not raised the child in vain.

Little John moved into the Magicians' Guild the next day and there was nothing to pack.

From then on, he began his life of meditation and practice.

After systematic study, his magic power broke through to the first-level magician apprentice in three days, and broke through to the fourth-level magician apprentice in one month. Three months later, little John's magic power had surpassed Jenny, a seventh-level magician apprentice who had practiced magic since childhood.

Young man, does your father know that you are so curly?

Yes, John sent someone to deliver living expenses to Little John, but he did not see Little John at Sigmund's house.

After getting the feedback, John finished his business and went to his former brother-in-law's house in person.

"What? Little John went to the Magicians' Guild to learn magic? How is that possible! He has no talent for magic!" Johann Strauss said in surprise.

"You gave him so many gold coins. Could this kid have been cheated?" John began to imagine the whole process of his silly son being deceived...

I can only say that I am just imagining things, um...

So when Jenny went to the meditation room and asked Little John to go out to meet the guests, Little John was also very surprised to see the nervous Carlos and the middle-aged handsome uncle who looked familiar.

"Uncle, why are you here? Is there something wrong at home?"

Carlos breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he took John to the Magician's Guild to try his luck first, otherwise John would have to go to the City Lord's Mansion to report the case!

"Little John, do you really have a talent for magic?" John still couldn't believe it, because the child had been tested for his magical talent when he was born.

"Of course, our little John is already a seventh-level magician apprentice!" Jenny said this with a sour tone. But as long as she added the word "we" before the name of little John, she would feel proud.

"It's level eight."
