Jiuyou College has been established for a very long time. Before the signboard of First University was hung up, this silent institution was already standing on Phuket Island.
As long as the winding courtyard wall has a history, in addition to the rich collection of Shushan Hall, it is the huge Linzhong Lake.
Countless students wearing red robes have left their mark on this lake.
The two parties dueling privately threw damaged magic tools into the lake, and the wizards and witches whose relationship broke down threw the jewelry that carried a love into the middle of the lake. Of course, the most common ones were the objects that the wizards accidentally fell into the water while taking a boat on the lake.
‘You don’t need to pick up things that fall into the lake’
This is a warning that many freshmen who have just entered school have heard.
Because Linzhong Lake is a reservation for the murloc tribe. And the murlocs whose territories are getting smaller and smaller have reached a certain abnormal level in defending their territory.
Anything that falls into the lake belongs to Linzhong Lake.
Unless the school sends specialized personnel to negotiate, no wizard should try to take a stone from the lake.
Most of the time, the staff of Jiuyou Academy are not willing to deal with those murlocs with brains the size of walnuts and stinky bodies just because of a fallen schoolbag or a makeup mirror that compliments its owner. So they are always concerned about relevant applications.
After procrastinating again and again, I applied to the Murloc Tribe after I had saved up a large number.
But the things they fished out by then had been soaked in water and were no longer useful.
On the one hand, this negative response encouraged the murlocs to regard the Great Lake as a forbidden area, and on the other hand, it also made the students increasingly dissatisfied.
So some young wizards with flexible minds and some young fish-men with relatively flexible minds started secretive transactions under these mutually restrictive conditions.【】
"For friendship!"
Iseni twisted his lips, trying his best to squeeze out these words from some hair shafts in his gill sacs, and then handed the rags in his hand to the black-robed wizards in exchange for gifts from the black-robed wizards.
Uniquely shaped glassware, smooth-touch enamel utensils, exquisite silk fabrics, and iron weapons coated with a waterproof layer. These creations on land can usually only be seen in the caves of the elders.
And now.
Ise Ni rubbed a shiny fork in his hand, as if he saw the golden fishhook that his friends paid tribute to him.
The gifts from the black-robed wizards quickly gained Iseni's friendship.
This nimble-minded fishman even began to use some gifts to attract friends in the tribe to help salvage debris that fell into the water.
According to the agreement with the black-robed wizard, the shorter the time it takes to salvage things that have fallen into the water, the higher their value. Therefore, it is particularly important to be able to quickly find things that have fallen into the water and protect them.
Fortunately, for fish people, this is not a difficult thing.
But soon, Iseni discovered that things were not as simple as imagined.
Linzhong Lake is so big that it can accommodate an entire tribe of fishmen to thrive here.
Linzhong Lake is also very small, so small that even the slightest ripples on the lake surface can attract the attention of fish people at the bottom of the lake.
You know, all fishmen are very interested in things that fall on the lake surface. You can't expect these 'babies' to stay in the mud at the bottom of the lake for too long.
Dispute means struggle.
At the bottom of the lake, fists are the best way to fight.
Although he is young, with his excellent physical talent, Iseni is not afraid even when facing adult fishmen. After several life-and-death battles, it quickly established prestige among the new generation of fishmen, and its business developed rapidly.
But there is a limit to what wizards can drop into the water every day.
Iseni's business faced its first bottleneck.
At this time, just helping the wizard salvage debris from the water in exchange for some goods can no longer satisfy its appetite.
It turned its attention to the fallen debris accumulated by the fish people in history.
For example, tattered leather, swollen wood carvings, and books with illegible handwriting. Of course, the most common ones are those inconspicuous wooden objects that have been locked up with magic by wizards and cannot be opened by murlocs.
Box, stone box.
During a transaction, the fat wizard heard Iseni’s idea and was very moved:
"That sounds like a good idea."
The fat wizard promised to buy those sundries at an appropriate price.
This expanded Iseni's business scope from salvage services to bulk trading.
It purchases all kinds of brand-new handicrafts, weapons, and decorations from the land from the wizards, and then uses the prices at the bottom of the lake to exchange them with the tribesmen for the sundries that have been accumulated in the caves and soaked for a long time.
For many fish people, this is a good deal.
New is always better than old.
For the black-robed wizard, this is also a good deal.
Because they can always find some unexpected gains among these debris.
For example, some reading notes of seniors, a few jade amulets that are not afraid of being soaked in lake water, or those small boxes locked by magic.
Buying a small box in a wandering wizard's bar and trying your luck once became the greatest fun for young wizards.
Many people have obtained eye-catching treasures from it.
However, what falls into the water is limited after all. After the fish people at the bottom of the lake consumed 7788 of their inventory, Iseni's business faced a new bottleneck.
"If you want to further expand your business, then you need to increase your business scope."
The fat wizard in black robe is always willing to give advice to the fish-men's inquiries.
"If there are conditions, we should go up. If there are no conditions, we should go up if we create conditions."
"If something falls from the lake, you have to pick it up; when nothing falls from the lake, you can find a way to make it fall and then pick it up again."
These words made Iseni suddenly enlightened.
From then on, the students who were riding a dinghy boat in Linzhong Lake suddenly discovered that fish people began to like to play on the water. At the beginning, this behavior was watched by many students, and young wizards rushed to witness this originally mysterious behavior.
Lake bottom creatures.
Gradually, the school received many complaints from students, saying that the fishmen's fights often caused the boats to capsize. Although subject to the agreement with the school, the fishmen would return students who fell into the water to the shore, but the things that the students fell into the water
Often missing.
After several investigations, the school finally had no choice but to say that Linzhong Lake is the territory of the murloc tribe, and the school has no right to interfere with the murlocs' play in their own territory. We can only recommend that everyone take more precautions when crossing the lake by boat.
Iseni didn't care about the troubles caused by the muddy things on the shore.
His business began to grow again.
It's very satisfying.
that's enough.
Since humbly accepting the fat wizard's opinion, Iseni was delighted to find that the harvest of his friends was steadily increasing. Especially in the freshman season, taking advantage of the opportunity of the ignorant newcomers to ferry on Linzhong Lake, the fish people could always
Reap more fruitful results than ever before.
The bigger reward is the respectful eyes of my friends.
No one uses fishhook to mock Iseni's name anymore.
The transaction with the black-robed wizard in just over a year not only made it the leader of the new generation, but also won it the admiration of many murloc elders - for the murloc tribe that always pays attention to qualifications, this is quite a feat.
not easy.
But high returns and high risks are always closely linked.
I often walk by the lake without getting my fins wet.
Although the young fishman did not know the theoretical knowledge summarized by these wizards, it did not prevent him from clearly understanding the risks of what he was doing.
This isn't the first time a failed deal like tonight's has happened.
"What is supposed to come will eventually come."
Iseni, who was walking through the forest, suddenly stopped and shook his dorsal fin.
The sparkling water of Linzhong Lake is so close that you can even hear the gurgling water and smell the delicate fragrance of the algae on the lake.
But there is always a thin line between failure and success.
In front of it, a young wizard wearing a red robe and holding a wooden staff suddenly appeared, blocking the end of the forest path.
