Once she calmed down, Lorraine asked the head trainer of the magic district if he could teach her some basic magic...

The result was unexpected; the other party refused to teach magic!

"Scout, you cannot learn these spells. Your mana is too low. Your rank is insufficient..."

"Mana points?"

......

"Can you see how much mana I have?"

"Humph..."

The Grandmaster Trainer remained silent, muttering and grumbling, acting mysterious and profound...

The master and apprentice were itching to get the answer...

......

The teacher once said that the most important thing for every magician is mana, or magic power.

It means how many spells a mage can cast.

It is equivalent to the monk's second lifeline.

A mage without magic is utterly useless, easily bullied by other classes. Like a gun without bullets, no matter how powerful it is, it cannot be used.

Although both Lorraine and Rolin could sense the magic power within their bodies, they couldn't accurately determine the level of their magical power.

How did this mage master trainer realize that his mana was insufficient?

......

"Of course, I can see you have a good affinity for water elementalism. It's particularly suited to ice magic. But your current magic power is too low; your mana reserves are less than the size of a cup. A novice mage needs at least the size of a bucket of mana to sustain combat at a similar level..."

How did you figure that out?

"Detection magic detects all magical effects on the target, including buffs and curses. This is a basic arcane spell. Want to learn it? I'll teach you, it only costs 10 gold coins..."

"Damn, what a swindler."

Lorraine also picked up her teacher's catchphrase...

Why are arcane spells so expensive? If the Turtle Transformation spell were to be an astronomical price!

Are they all taking advantage of monks because they think they're easy targets?

......

The original plan was to come to Undercity to meet the Queen in order to gain some military merits and learn necromancy.

The result was fruitless; unable to see her beauty, disappointment was inevitable...

......

"It's alright, kid. Come on, let's go check out the banks and auction houses in the city. Take everything off your person, put the extras in the bank's vault. Sell anything that can be sold at the auction house! That'll make you some money."

"Bank? Warehouse? Auction house."

Lorraine was like a country bumpkin; he had never heard of these things before.

"What's that for?"

"The Warcraft Financial System! The starting point for every adventurer's career. Utilize it well, and you can grow rapidly and even become wealthy!"

"Really?"

"Of course! Back in the day, I was quite the penny-pincher... a real small-time speculator..."

"Hoarding and profiteering? Speculation? Buying low and selling high?"

"Don't put it so harshly, this is art..."

"Oh!"

......

Following his teacher's directions, Lorraine walked to the middle of the three-tiered ring of Undercity, where he saw a strange ghost imprisoned in a strange tower.

The tower has windows on all four sides.

As Lorraine approached the window,

The blue ghost floated over and even gave Lorraine a polite salute.

"Hello, guest. How can I help you?"

Is this a bank?

"That's right, sir. Royal Savings Bank is at your service. You only need to pay a small storage fee to store your items permanently. Anything is acceptable except for living creatures. Of course, items cannot be too large, and we do not recommend storing flammable or explosive materials."

The ghost bank employee was very polite.

Like a housekeeper.

Although it is a ghost, its body can stretch at will, allowing it to move quickly from window to window.

......

Lorraine carefully took out the gold coin and 10 silver coins.

There were also ores and stones that he had dug up with him.

Various spider silks and broken copper and rotten swords.

Piled up in front of the bank's warehouse window...

"Um. Our safes are usually used to store valuables, such as weapons, gems, gold coins, and potions."

"What about ores and leather?"

"Sure, but 10 silver coins will only buy 20 small squares. 50 silver coins will buy 40 small squares, and so on..."

"Trickster!"

This time, it was Lorraine who blurted it out...

Reluctantly, he selected a few lesser moonstones, rubies, copper ore, and his most treasured apprentice staff to deposit in the bank.

The teacher kept telling him to throw away the apprentice's staff, but he couldn't bear to part with it.

Whether in his lifetime or now, this staff holds extraordinary significance.

The risks of venturing out into the world are unknown, so after much thought, I think it's more reliable to deposit my money in the bank.

After storing his items, Lorraine felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders. He could now venture further afield to continue his adventures and amass more wealth; the freed-up inventory space could now hold even more loot!

The bank vault is indeed very convenient!

.....

Turning away from the bank, Lorraine walked to the Undercity auction depository.

The staff here are also very polite.

"Hello, adventurer."

"Hello, sir, may I auction off these materials I have on me?"

Lorraine threw down the junk she had picked up along the way.

The auctioneer's brow furrowed. "No problem. You can set a reserve price, and we'll notify you 24 hours later, whether it sells or not. Or you can pick it up in your mailbox yourself."

"Mail?"

The auctioneer nodded.

"The Goblin Transportation Bureau and the Azeroth Post Office offer global services worldwide. Wherever there are inns and merchants, guests can use the Azeroth Post Office's services at any time. Even if you're in Stormwind, our magical mailboxes can deliver instant messages and items..."

.....

Both master and apprentice were surprised, and Rowling found it amusing.

Looking back, the magical mailboxes scattered all over the world were indeed amazing objects!

......

Roland couldn't help but laugh: "So, the Azeroth Post Office and the Goblin Transportation Company are the strongest forces?"

"There might not be any express delivery services like STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, or Yunda Express here?"

As if to confirm Rowling's joke, the auctioneer proudly patted his chest:

“Every employee under the Trade Prince is devout and dedicated... The Astral Consortium is one of our company’s partners. The Rustwater Consortium near the South Sea, the Gadgetzan Hot Sands Consortium, venture capital firms, and the Darkmoon Faire are all our contractors.”

The auctioneer, though a forgotten figure, takes pride in being an employee of a financial empire.

.....

Rowling had always wondered who could expand their business to the entire world.

Goblins are an unassuming race, renowned for their highly unreliable engineering products, and skilled at crafting logging machines and transport airships.

It seems to be subtly controlling the economy of the tribe and the alliance.

They trade with all races, exchanging anything of value.

If we get along well with them, can we do whatever we want in the Alliance, the Horde, and even Outland?

......

But what's the use of gold coins for the undead?

......

Of course it's useful; it allows you to exchange what you need with other races.

To facilitate the allocation of resources among different races and the resale of local specialties.

This is indeed a big business opportunity!

The auction house system is practically a goldmine.

They'll also deduct taxes!

It's outrageously profitable...

In Rolin's eyes, the auction house was the most powerful organization on the planet Azeroth.

......

"Quick, quick, ask him where we can see information about the auctioned items."

The auctioneer was very professional.

Before Lorraine could speak, a thick magic tome already appeared in his hand...

......

Lorraine gently opened the magic book.

One text after another popped up automatically.

It glided past Lorraine's eyes.

Various colorful and strange objects floated by in the shadowy shadows.

Lorraine was so shocked she couldn't close her mouth...

He soon discovered that the item had the same name as the one in his hand.

It also includes a brief description of its uses. It even thoughtfully displays recent transaction prices.

"Genius, simply genius. This must be the work of some supreme archmage. What astonishing magic is required to connect everything and transmit information?"

"Wow, teacher, a stack of iron ore costs 80 silver coins, and can be sold for up to 1 gold and 20 silver. How many are in a stack?"

......

"Idiot, a set contains 20, which is equivalent to only 4 silver coins per item. Mining and gathering herbs are hard-earned money, but there's generally high market demand. You don't have to worry about selling them..."

"Teacher, look, even spider silk can be sold for money! How come weapons and armor are so cheap!"

“Spider silk is a material that can be used to make magic robes. I told you to throw away your junk long ago, or sell it to a general store. But you wouldn’t listen. This ordinary iron and armor is worthless, it’s just trash. Only weapons or armor containing magic power will sell. At the very least, things with special properties will be sold.”

The magic apprentice talked to himself, nodding and shaking his head from time to time.

The auctioneer, who was introducing the customer, was puzzled; it seemed this guest had something wrong with his head...

Otherwise, he or she is mentally unstable.

......

"May I take this book, sir?"

"Of course not!"

The auctioneer snatched the magic book without ceremony. "This is a holographic catalog that we commissioned from the Kirin Tor Mage Council of Dalaran at great expense... It can only be opened using our special auction password. My duty is to protect this magic book while completing your consignment or auction business."

The auctioneer may seem ordinary, but he is willing to risk his life for a magical auction catalog.

.....

"Let me see if there are any magic books here!"

"That's no problem. You just need to open the auction items under the category of books to check. We also have an evaluation system for the rarity level of the items. Some items are very popular, and their prices are naturally high. It's also possible that some people don't know their value and sell rare and special items at a low price. However, as our business has become more sophisticated, such opportunities are becoming increasingly rare, unless it's an unknown item that has never appeared before."

A whole bunch of magic books,

The Turtle Transformation spell starts at 5000 gold coins.

Summoning Holy Water (Magic) - 8000 Gold Coins

Invisibility (2 gold coins)...

Starting bid requirements: Warlord or Marshal rank, Revered reputation with the Azeroth Post Office, minimum gold holding of 5 gold...

"Is...is anyone really qualified to buy this?"

Lorraine couldn't help but exclaim!
