In fact, Chris has seen many people who can use magic at a young age, but people of Al's age are basically magic apprentices, and even those with extraordinary talents are at best junior magicians.
And judging from Al's ability to see through some of his hidden secrets, he is likely to be a high-level magician. But at such an age, how could he become a high-level magician?
When faced with Chris' question, Al said to him: "Everyone has their own secrets."
Then he left here without looking back.
Looking at Al's leaving figure, although Chris had many questions to ask, he finally held back.
Although Al looked cold in front of Chris, when he asked the owners of the surrounding shops, he smiled and greeted those people.
After all, he wanted something from them, and they didn't have much to do with him, so it was good for him to smile at everyone he met.
If Chris was sincere about buying his own weapons, Al would never treat him like this.
But standing in front of Chris, he felt a little uncomfortable, so his attitude towards Chris was a little tough.
After learning the location of the Craftsmen's Guild from the people in the surrounding shops, Al went to the Craftsmen's Guild alone.
The girl at the front desk didn't pay attention when she saw Al come in. She just thought that he came in to see her master.
But he didn't expect Al to walk straight towards him.
"I bought a shop and I want you to give me a certificate." Al said straight to the point.
The beautiful woman lay on the bar and asked Al: "Little brother, aren't the adults in your family here?"
Al puffed out his chest and said, "I opened the store myself, what does it have to do with my adults?"
"Really, you are such a stubborn child, but do you have money? You must first spend nine gold coins to apply to become a member of the Craftsmen Association, and then you can register a shop."
Al is a person who is more afraid of trouble, especially since he knows very well that he is just a child and may be deceived in such a complicated process.
So after a moment of silence, Al asked her: "If, I mean if, I am not a member of the Craftsmen Guild, can I make my own sword?"
The beautiful woman smiled and said: "Of course, no one can control your hobbies after all. It's just best not to sell them. If there is a problem, our Craftsmen Association will not take care of it."
After hearing what she said, Al finally decided after a moment of silence: not to register.
For him, making weapons is just a way to become stronger, and he has never thought about making weapons all the time.
For Al, he also needs to spend a lot of time meditating to gain extraordinary power.
Or you can create golems and control high-level golems to attack each other in groups.
So he doesn't have so much time to waste on a shop.
So after Al was silent for a moment, he said to the beautiful woman at the front desk: "Thank you, auntie, I won't register anymore."
Hearing what Al said, the beautiful woman at the front desk said with a smile: "Where? Where?"
…
It is definitely not something that ordinary people can do if they want to practice fighting spirit and magic at the same time. At least ordinary people don't have enough resources to practice it.
Chris is only about 20 years old now. In terms of age, he is almost the same as Lauren.
Lauren relies on the Tang family's understanding of swordsmen, so he can avoid many detours.
Although Chris also has a backer, he is actually not favored in his family, and with fellow practitioners of magic and fighting spirit, his level at the moment is not very high.
After returning home, he immediately asked people to investigate who this Al was.
Unlike Eric who didn't want others to know Al's special nature, Chris just spread his orders. Within three days, he had found out all the information about Al in the Odili Empire.
After all, Al didn't deliberately hide his news.
"Master, we found out that the boy's name is Al. He first appeared in Master Eric's shop and worked as an apprentice there for more than a year. Then he stole Master Eric's things for some unknown reason.
, and then ran to the imperial capital to open this iron shop."
Chris was silent for a moment: "Why did he run away? If he learns from Master Eric, he is likely to become a master in the future."
"My subordinates have not found out the specific reason for this."
Chris waved his hand and said: "Forget it, it doesn't matter, I'll go look for him tomorrow."
After hearing what Chris said, the subordinate quickly said: "Master, we don't need to find such a child. As long as you are willing, I can find several swordsmen and magisters to join your guild."
"No, the stronger you are, the more complicated the relationships behind you are, so I don't want to trust those people."
Seeing that Chris's attitude was so firm, the middle-aged man couldn't say anything.
The next day, Chris entered Al's blacksmith shop again.
Because Al didn't want to waste time registering the store, he simply took off the plaque when he came back and closed the door.
But it's not completely closed.
After living here for a few days, he realized that living alone was such a troublesome thing.
Although he is not short of money at the moment, he will run out of money sooner or later, and he also spends two hours buying food every day.
This was a huge waste of Al's training time. Although his progress is extremely slow now, he has still made some progress.
So Al was thinking about it during this time, should he find a servant to cook for him?
At this moment, he heard movement from the door. Since he had meditated today, Al's mental strength was relatively exhausted at the moment, so he didn't know who was coming.
But his fighting instinct still drove his body, and he directly took the weapons he had refined before and walked out.
After seeing Chris, Al asked him coldly: "What are you doing here?"
Because his subordinates had told him all the news about Al, he guessed that Al should have a Noble Phantasm on his body. It was because of the Noble Phantasm that he could see through his hidden magic.
Chris said to Al: "I came here just to ask you again. I want you to join my Adventurer's Guild."
In order to join the Artisans Association a few days ago, Al took the opportunity to learn about the association.
There are many associations, and the biggest association among them is the Adventurers Association, because there are all kinds of strong people in the Adventurers Association.
Except for some lone ranger-like adventurers, most adventurers will form guilds. The weak form a guild to stay together for warmth, while the strong form a guild to join forces.
But Al didn't understand: "Why are you looking for me? I'm just a child."
Chris said: "I know you are just a child, but this is what I want, because you have no contact with other people."
"What nonsense is this?" Al couldn't understand what he said at all.
When Chris saw that Al didn't understand what he meant, he wasn't angry, because in his opinion, although Al was talented, he didn't understand how dark the adult world was.
So he decided to be straightforward and tell the purpose of his visit.
"As long as you are willing to join my guild, I can give you a lot of money."
"..." Although Al didn't say anything, his heart was already moved.
But Al finally endured his yearning, and then asked Chris: "You have to answer this question for me. I'm just an ordinary boy. Why did you choose me?"
Chris was silent for a moment and said: "I originally just wanted to take a look at this blacksmith shop, but when I saw you and I found that you had murderous intent, so I concluded that your strength and appearance do not match."
Al stared at Chris with a look like "Do you think I'm an idiot?"
In fact, Chris himself knew very well that his words were just an excuse.
He couldn't say to Al: "Actually, I know everything that happens in the imperial capital. When you first entered the city, I knew that you were a magician. I just wanted to take advantage of you before you grow up.
Winning you over and letting you be my eagle dog."
Although Chris didn't directly explain the reason, Al still vaguely guessed something?
But there are some things that even though you and I know very well, we can't put those things in the light.
Al thought to himself: "Someone should indeed take care of my daily life. Only in this way can I have enough time to deal with my own affairs."
Then Al said to Chris: "Okay, I promise you, but I have to tell you in advance that after I join your guild, you have to arrange for someone to take care of my daily life."
Chris agreed directly without thinking: "Of course, unless there are force majeure factors."
"Okay! How many people are there in your adventurer guild now?" Al asked a crucial question.
Chris was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Including you, there are three people in total."
"The number of people is slightly small!"
"We don't have a reputation yet. When we become famous, many people will naturally join us."
"That's right." Al nodded.
Then he said to Chris: "When will the contract be signed?"
Seeing that Al was so anxious, Chris took out the contract he had prepared before.
Afterwards, he and Al discussed some details for a while, and then the two signed their names.
"Al Tang, this surname is a bit rare." Chris murmured.
Al glanced at him and didn't defend himself.
"If I go to the union headquarters, you should arrange for someone to come over and take care of my daily life."
Chris patted his chest and said confidently: "In two days, I will prepare everything, and I will come to you then."
"good!"
Chris left here after that.
Looking at Chris' cheerful pace, Al began to think about what he should do with his two demon dolls.
"It would be great if there was some space to carry it with me. I could carry the puppet with me, and then I could directly control the puppet to beat them if I don't like them."
Al just thought about it, after all, he didn't even know if there was such a thing. This chapter has been completed!
