Chapter 48 Ways to Make Money

In a remote small restaurant on the backstreet.

Arthur looked helplessly at Arnold, who had been lowering his head and devouring food. He had not seen him for more than a month, and he still looked as thin and pale as when he first met.

"Thank you, I haven't had a proper meal in the past few months." Arnold suddenly raised his head and said.

"It doesn't matter, eat slowly. Why did you come to Singapore?

Arno wiped his mouth and showed a slightly shy smile, "I'm full. I'm coming to find you."

Arthur was slightly surprised, "Looking for me? This is the headquarters of the Church of Light in the Kingdom of Isaac. It's too dangerous for you!"

"I know that the most dangerous place is the safest place. The knights and priests of the church are chasing me everywhere, but they must not have thought that I would come to the Royal City. Besides, you are in the Royal City. I finally have a friend here." Arnold said seriously.

 "Friends? But we only met once?"

"We fought together, you saved me, and you invited me to dinner today. The most important thing is that you reached out to me at that time. You were the first one to choose to believe in me after knowing my identity as a dark magician. Therefore, I consider you my friend."

Arthur scratched his head. The Arnold in front of him seemed to be more innocent than himself, "Okay, you also saved my life today, and we will be friends from now on."

Arnaud smiled and took the initiative to reach out to Arthur. The young man with flaxen curly hair had an equally beautiful smile.

Arthur stretched out his hand, and held his two small hands tightly together.

  Two men who would change the history of Blander continent stood side by side for the first time many years later.

 "Why did you happen to appear there?" Arthur suddenly asked.

 "I've been looking for you in the city?"

"It seems we are really destined."

"No, it's perception magic. I left a magic mark of dark perception on you. As long as you appear within a thousand meters, I can perceive you."

Arthur said half-jokingly: "Dark magic is so powerful. No wonder the church has been chasing you for thousands of years."

 Arnaud lowered his head, with a pained expression on his face.

Arthur knew that he had touched Arnold's heart, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, "What are your plans next?"

 Arnaud still lowered his head and whispered: "If possible, I plan to stay."

Arthur hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "This place is still too dangerous for you, but if you insist on staying, although I am not rich, I can lend you some money and find a place to live first."

 "Arthur, do you need money?"

 Arthur rolled his eyes at Arnold angrily, "Nonsense, not only do I need it, but I also need a lot of money!"

"I have a way to make money. We can become enchanters and sell magic equipment."

Arthur's eyes lit up. Enchanters are a branch of magicians, but they are recognized as the richest magicians. A high-quality long sword worth one gold coin can be sold for five or six gold coins several times as long as an enchanter adds a first-level gold-based sharpness or fire-based fireball.

But his eyes dimmed immediately, "Do you think it is so easy to become an enchanter? Only one magician in a hundred can become an enchanter, and it also requires the approval of the Church of Light and the personal teachings of senior enchanters."

"I know why enchanters are so rare. It involves a secret that has been hidden for thousands of years."

Arnold further lowered his voice and said: "The reason why enchanters are rare is that all enchanters must be dual-series magicians. In addition to the magic of this series, they must also be able to perform 'enchantment', which is to etch the magic circle." The key to equipment. And 'enchantment' does not fall into any known family of magic."

 "There is magic that does not belong to any system?"

"Because 'enchantment' is an improved form of magic, its real name is 'dark corrosion'"

"You mean enchantment comes from dark magic?" Arthur opened his mouth in disbelief, and then patted his head again, "I finally understand why becoming an enchanter requires the approval of the church, because All enchanters have the potential to become dark magicians, and the church must ensure that every enchanter is under control."

 Arno nodded solemnly.

"I understand what you mean. You want to skip the church approval step, secretly use 'dark corrosion' to enchant weapons and equipment, and then sell them to make profits."

"How about it? Do you want to do it? If the church finds out, you will definitely be burned to death."

Arthur chuckled, "Such a big profit, of course, mercenaries are a profession where risks and benefits coexist! Besides, just being friends with you is enough to teach me how to burn me to death several times, but it's so profitable. Why didn't you use this method before?"

This time it was Arnold who rolled his eyes at Arthur, "Do you dare to use equipment with dark magic?" Arnold sighed and continued: "This method requires the cooperation of magicians from other departments. For so many years, you have been my The first non-dark magician I trust."

"Okay, let's talk about how to do it." Arthur couldn't wait.

"The equipment enchanting process must be completed by a mage alone. Last time I saw you in the church, you used water and earth magic. I also have a little affinity for earth magic elements. As long as you teach me earth magic, I can etch the earth magic circle on the equipment. I can also teach you the 'Dark Corrosion', and you can also try to see if you can become an enchanter."

Arthur smiled happily, "Except for time magic, which is considered a restricted area of magic, I can enchant any type of magic as long as there is a magic array."

"Are you a monster?" Arnold was shocked, because the enchanter is a dual-system magician. Normally, the enchanter can only enchant one series of magic in his life.

"Since we are cooperating, do I have a condition?"

 "Tell me, how do you plan to divide the profits?"

"It has nothing to do with money, I want to enter the Guano Royal Academy with you."

Arthur pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "The academy is indeed the safest place, but entering the Guano Academy requires a letter of recommendation from a qualified noble, and I have no way to get this."

"I don't need formal admission. I know that your college allows students to bring an attendant to take care of daily life. The attendant cannot enter the classroom, but can stay in the master's room. You only need to say that I am your attendant and register it in the college. That's it."

Arthur tilted his head and looked at Arnold, "You have inquired clearly about this. Doesn't it seem that you are not that innocent?"

Arno smiled bitterly, "I must think more and prepare more than others, otherwise I would have died in the hands of the church."

Arthur pulled Arnold up and said, "Let's go, don't think about the church anymore, countless gold coins are already waving to us..."
