I thought MC is poor from 2nd chapter. he owns a town about to become a city? and connects to a port city + with an important city of the kingdom. He is definitely not matured from the last sentence as first chapter says. The thing is I can't able to imagine the MC fully. with his character from previous chapters he should be like "Butler Xiao I become Mage let's check how much money we have for my future Mage training" because he is Matured and Poor.
