Vol 8 Chapter 3: part-time job

This pocket should have his last two gold coins and a dozen silver coins, but at this time it has become empty and nothing left.
Lu Xian touched his hand a few times, even looked through the open pocket, but did not even see the shadow of a silver coin, suddenly panicked.
This is only a little bit of money left. If it is not, he will not say that he will continue to stay in the city of Doral, find a suitable job, and even have no way to go home.
More importantly, he can't even pay for the meal of the dozen or so silver coins in front of him!
The noodle restaurant owner was naturally well-informed. When he saw Lu Xi’an’s appearance, he still didn’t know what happened, and the smile on his face suddenly cooled down.
"This guest, please pay the bill."
Lucian held her pockets, and a trace of cold sweat slipped from her forehead, and her heart was desperately turning her mind.
How to do?
How to do!
Seeing Lu Xi'an silently, the boss's face was colder and the tone of his speech was slightly improved.
"This guest, are you not going to eat a king meal?"
Other guests in the noodle restaurant heard the movement here and turned their eyes.
When Lu Xi’an’s slightly panicked face was seen, and then he looked at the whitewashed clothes on his body, people suddenly laughed.
"Haha, a little poor ghost wants to come here to mix and drink, the boss you think you are unlucky."
"Boss, I don’t know what it’s like to look at him. I see that you have lost this bowl!

"Hey, look at the looks of this kid is still upright, how do you do such a shameful thing? Isn't it going to be hungry?"
......
Listening to the crowds around him, Lu Xi’an’s face was red, but he could not find anything to refute.
The fact is that he can't find the money to pay the bill, naturally he can only bear the cold face of the boss and the ridicule of the people around him.
He frowned and thought about it, and he bravely said: "Boss, I..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, the uncle sitting across from him suddenly slapped on the table.
"This is a gold coin. This young man paid for my share in front of me."
Lucian is a glimpse. The boss swept the uncle, and with a hand, he took the gold coin on the table and left.
Other people can see it without seeing it. They laughed twice and stopped paying attention to it.
"Thank you...thank you..." Lucian looked a little embarrassed, and she was excited to thank the uncle.
The uncle waved his hand and swept him up and down: "Look at your appearance, it shouldn't be a mixed drink. How? Have you encountered difficulties?"
Lucian calmed down at this time, carefully thought about it, and soon understood it.
It must be the wretched short man who just hit him on the road!
It must be that he took the opportunity to steal his own money!
Lucian was extremely remorseful in her heart. Before she went out, her parents had already smashed him countless times. They must be careful to beware of thieves outside, but they did not expect to be in the middle.
If it weren't for this kind-hearted uncle who was going to make a clearance for himself, it would be a blessing for him to let his boss promise to pay for his work today.
"I...maybe a thief..." Lu Xi'an explained with a smile.
"Well... There are many people in Doral, and there are many thieves. I have encountered it when I first came. It is not surprising." Uncle smiled and nodded. Looking at Lu Xi'an again, he continued to ask: "Are you supposed to be a magician?"
Lucian suddenly stunned: "How do you see it?"
"I sensed that there is magical fluctuations in your body." Seeing the surprised expression on Lucian's face, the uncle pointed at himself: "No wonder, I am also a magician, but the level is not high, but now it is just a A third-level magician."
Lucian snorted and still felt a little strange.
What is strange about him is not how this unfamiliar uncle knows that he is a magician, but rather the "three-level magician" in the mouth of this uncle.
Since the publication of the Magician Peace Convention ten years ago, the magicians on the mainland have no longer measured their personal strength, but have the role and expertise in the magical industry. Conduct an assessment.
The so-called "three-level magician" evaluation standard. It has long been thrown aside by the magician union that originally formulated it, and no magician will use this standard to judge his own level.
And in the new Feishang Association led, in these years of the booming new magic system on the mainland, the traditional magician rating has long been completely out of date. It is impossible to accurately describe the ability of a magician.
For example, Lucy's current level, because he rarely studies the destructive magic, so if you follow the traditional assessment criteria, he may now be a second-level or third-level magician.
But the education of the new magic theory system he received at Phillips College made his understanding and mastery of magic far beyond the traditional magicians.
As long as he is willing, his combat power will not be worse than the traditional five or even six magicians.
It’s just something like combat power. It is very boring for the magicians on the mainland today, so not many magicians will seriously study it.
After all, under the restrictions of the "Sorcerer's Peace Convention," magicians can't participate in the war, and naturally they cannot reflect their destructive power.
And even if they participated in the war, in the face of all kinds of powerful military magical machinery, the personal strength of the magician is not enough to see, and it does not play any role.
As for the traditional choice of joining the Chamber of Commerce as a escort, it has long been replaced by various civic guards equipped with light military magic machinery, and there is no such thing as a magician.
Moreover, instead of joining the Chamber of Commerce as a escort, it is better to join the Chamber of Commerce as a researcher or engage in other related magic research work. The money earned is more than a guardian, and it is easier and less life-threatening.
All in all, like this uncle, it is very rare to introduce yourself with the "three-level magician".
At the very least, Lu Xi'an was the first to meet.
"How? Unfamiliar with the concept of a three-level magician?" Uncle seems to have broken the thoughts of Lu Xi'an and laughed. "Young magicians like you are definitely unfamiliar."
Lucian smiled reluctantly and didn't know how to respond.
Fortunately, at this time the boss came back and handed over the money he had found to the uncle, alleviating this silky atmosphere.
Uncle took the money and stood up and waved to Lu Xi'an.
"Go."
Lucian is a glimpse. Uncle so I looked at my uncle.
Uncle laughed: "Are you not stealing money from the thief? Look at you should not be a local, then how are you going to go on?"
Lucian bit his teeth: "I will try to find a short job and earn some money to go back."
"So it's just right, I just have a short-term job that requires some magical knowledge. Three days. One gold coin a day, if you are willing to come, let's go."
Lucian hesitated, biting his teeth and stood up.
The uncle rushed to Lucian and smiled. He said with a long-awaited attitude: "Young people. It is not a problem to encounter difficulties for the time being. There is always a solution."
Lu Xi'an "Well", after walking for a while, couldn't help but curiously asked: "Uncle, can you ask what work? Right, I haven't asked your name yet."
"Call me Rondo. As for work... I opened a small workshop myself. I recently received a job. It is a magical motive for a factory to OEM a number of magic fans. It just needs to temporarily recruit some magical technicians. I work, can you draw the primary wind system dynamics? No, the uncle suddenly asked.
"Ah? Ah. No problem... This array is simple..."
"That's it." Uncle Rondo nodded. "The other party is rushing. I originally thought of recruiting some temporary mechanics in the city. I just met you when I was eating. You don't have to thank me very much. If you can help me with this shipment, don't delay. But I should thank you more."
Lucian quickly waved his hand: "No, no, you not only helped me pay for the meal, but also gave me the job. Anyway, I should thank you for your help."
Uncle Rondo smiled a little and did not argue with Lu Xi'an about these things. Take him to the noodle restaurant, turn a corner, go to a bus stop, and then board a bus magic locomotive.
The bus went all the way to the city of Doral. When the city has been several kilometers away, stop at a small station next to a road.
Uncle Rondo took Lu Xi'an and got off the bus. He walked along a road down the road, and a small manor appeared in front of him.
"Arrived."
Lucian looked at the old manor in front of her, and she was strange.
Why did Uncle Rondo open his own small workshop here?
It is so far from the city of Doral and not in the industrial area outside the city of Doral. Whether it is inconvenient to transport parts or finished products, it is obviously not a suitable location.
"This is the small manor that my ancestors left for me. If you want to find such a large piece of land in the city and the industrial area, you need to spend more money." Perhaps it is to see the doubts in Lu Xi'an's eyes, Rondo. Uncle explained one sentence.
"Oh……"
Lucian understood the ground and followed the door to the manor after Uncle Rondo.
There were two guards standing at the entrance of the manor. When they saw the two coming over, Uncle Rondo smirked and smiled. He waved his hand and let the two enter.
Into the manor, Lu Xi'an looked at the broken scene in the manor, and his doubts were even worse.
Since it is a small workshop of Uncle Rondo, at least it should be heard that some magic machine tools are working.
At least... There shouldn’t be a thick layer of ash everywhere in the manor, and even the spider webs are everywhere?
After two more steps, Lu Xi’an suddenly gave birth to a vigilant and stopped.
"Uncle Rondo, I... I suddenly remembered that there are still some things. I am afraid that this job can't be done. As for the money owed to you, I promise to return it to you in the future." Lu Xi'an hesitated.
Uncle Rondo looked at Lu Xi'an deeply, and the gentle smile that had been hanging on his face gradually disappeared. Instead, he was replaced by a strange smile that made Lu Xi'an look like only a cold heart.
"How? I owe me fifteen silver coins, I want to go this way? How can I do that?"
Lucian couldn't help but take a step back.
"Uncle Rondo, you..."
Uncle Rondo suddenly raised his hand, and Lu Xi’an immediately felt a strange magical wave swinging around him.
"Magic wave disturbance?" Lu Xi'an was shocked. He just wanted to mobilize the magic of the body and re-disturb the magic space of the whole body. The two brawny did not know where to pop out.
A strong man knocked on Lu Xi'an's back neck with a hand knife. He immediately turned black and fainted. (~^~)
