Volume 6 Chapter 139 - Not For Them To Control (1/2)

The middle aged man was surprised before looking over Sinner and revealing a look of understanding.

“Oh, right, this is your first time here, it’s no wonder you don’t know how strong the three kinds of wine are.” He nodded after this and continued, “Right, I work for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, but I’m not one of the important researchers of the magic research facility, I’m just a pitiful Second Grade Magician that draws Magic Arrays all day.”

Sinner revealed an even more interested look. He looked at the remaining red wine at the bottom of the middle aged magician’s cup before having the bartender bring two more cups of the same wine over, sending one over to him.

“What are you doing?” The middle aged magician looked at him in surprise, “Are you treating me to a drink?”

“Un, I want to ask you a few things.” Sinner nodded with a faint smile.

“Ask a few things?” The middle aged man was clearly a bit drunk, but his eyes were still clear. He looked at the cup of wine Sinner slid over and gave a laugh, “I am only the most common Low Grade Magician in the company, what can you get from me?”

Sinner came closer and reached into his chest, taking out a small badge.

“Second Grade Magician?” The middle aged magician recognized the meaning of this badge and looked at Sinner in surprise. After thinking about it, he took a sip from the cup of wine, “Alright, what do you want to ask about? I’ll tell you now that there are some things that can’t be told to outsiders.”

“Of course.” Sinner quickly smiled along with him, “I still haven’t asked……”

“Just call me Luther.”

“Alright, Luther, you can see that I’m the same as you, we’re both Second Grade Magicians. Moreover, you can see…..that I’m not doing that well right now……” Sinner spread his hands.

Luther looked at the clothes that Sinner was wearing and saw that the material wasn’t that good, so he gave a nod.

“And then? You want to work for our Frestech Chamber of Commerce?”

“I wanted to ask about this, only……”

“Only what?”

Sinner looked around before coming in closer and lowering his voice, “I think that you should have heard that the Magicians Guild headquarters has given that announcement saying that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce is…..ke…..a swindler. They aren’t good at all to Low Grade Magicians, so I……”

“Bullshit!” Luther suddenly slapped the table in front of him and with how loud his voice was, everyone in the tavern suddenly looked over.

Sinner was scared by this before quickly pulling Luther down and smiling at everyone in the tavern.

The others saw that nothing was happening, so they didn’t care about it.

Sinner let out a sigh of relief before asking Luther, “Why are you this agitated? Is the headquarters wrong?”

“Nonsense! The fellows at the headquarters are all full of nonsense, how could it be correct!” Luther seemed very indignant, but his voice was smaller than before, so it didn’t attract as much attention in this crowded tavern as before.

“Is that so?” Sinner looked at Luther with a bit of doubt, “That means that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce is very good to Low Grade Magicians?”

“Of course they are.” Luther said in a firm voice, “Other than the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, is there another company that will give Low Grade Magicians a wage of twenty gold coins a month?”

“Twenty gold coins a month? That really isn’t a small amount.” Sinner was silent for a bit before asking, “But the headquarters said…..that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce is forcing Low Grade Magicians to do meaningless things, drawing Magic Arrays all day long, which doesn’t help them with increasing the level of their magic…..”

“Bullshit!” Luther angrily shouted again, but this time there weren’t that many people who looked over, “Other than giving us a high wage each month, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce gives us many benefits. For Low Grade Magicians like us, as long as we’re willing, we can apply for a set of magic materials each month to study magic with. Is this not good enough?”

“Un, that is indeed not bad……”

“Then again, the company will invite the High Grade Magicians or even a Great Magician to guide us Low Grade Magicians from time to time, helping us increase the level of our magic. Tell me, other than this place, for Low Grade Magicians like us, where else can we receive the guidance of Great Magicians?”

“This……” Sinner was silent again, but then he changed the topic, “But I also heard that…..the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s Frestech Academy isn’t teaching the Low Grade Magicians about magic at all…..”

“Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!”

Luther angrily cursed three times before suddenly standing up and looking around the corner. Then he grabbed Sinner’s arm and brought him to a table over in a corner.

The people at the table looked at Luther and Sinner who suddenly came over in surprise. One of them who was around the same age as Luther and had the same Second Grade Magician badge on his chest looked at Sinner before asking Luther, “Hey, Luther, what is it? Is this your friend?”

“No, we just met.” Luther casually said before pushing Sinner in front of them and pointing at them, while saying to Sinner, “These fellows are the same as me, they graduated from the Frestech Academy with me last year. You can ask them if the academy is as you said it is.”

“What is it?” The middle aged magician was even more confused, “Hey Luther, what did this fellow say about the academy?”
