Above the mage!

Chapter 75: Craftsmen's Guild
After returning to House 437, Gaode lit the kerosene lamp and spent some time tidying up and cleaning the room.

After finishing everything, Godd finally settled down temporarily in Bremen. He sat in the empty hall and reorganized his thoughts.

After determining that he could not stay in Hogan City for long, his thoughts suddenly became clear.

The first thing to do is to take advantage of the situation and sell the medicine garden, which cannot be taken away, for a good price.

Then he left Hogan City with the money from the sale of the medicine garden, and tried to find a way to enter the Seres School of Magic through the "letter of recommendation for exemption from examination" left by Master Seda, and receive systematic and formal "basic magician education".

But apparently, this matter is just a sentence.

The actual implementation is very complicated and troublesome, and it cannot be done overnight.

For the time being, let’s not consider how to get from Bremen to Saint Sean, where the Seres School of Magic is located - after all, it is not easy for Goder to get from Hogan to Bremen at the moment.

Just figuring out whether the "recommendation letter for exemption from examination" is reliable is not an easy task.

But if Gao De didn't find out the origin of this "recommendation letter for exemption from examination" and why Master Seda ignored this "recommendation letter", he would never dare to rush to the door with the "recommendation letter".

After going through so much trouble to get to Saint Sean City, it was still a light punishment that others did not recognize this "letter of recommendation". Gao De was afraid that he would be killed.

After Master Seda's death, if there was anyone in the world who knew the origin of this "letter of recommendation for exemption from examination", it would only be Master Seda's wife, Mrs. Misu.

The first thing is to get close to Mrs. Misu, and then find a way to get information about the "letter of recommendation".

Fortunately, there are many useful clues and information hidden in the twenty family letters collected by Master Seda.

Therefore, after arriving in Bremen, Godec was able to directly find Mrs. Misu according to the address revealed in the letter.

If there was any way to get in touch with Mrs. Misu without arousing her suspicion, it would undoubtedly be to rent the property that Master Seda left to his wife.

After Master Seda left for Hogen City, Mrs. Misu had been relying on renting out properties to make a living.

And Gode really needs to rent a house and settle down in Bremen temporarily.

It is foreseeable that he will stay in Bremen for a long time.

So, he must have a job that can earn income.

One is to avoid living beyond his means, although 300 Sean gold coins are enough for him to live on for a long time.

The second is to conceal the truth.

Unlike in the past, people are no longer surprised by the sight of a bunch of unemployed young people.

In this world, a person without a job always attracts more attention.

After careful consideration, a fixed job must be ruled out first: it is not free enough, it will restrict one's actions, and affect one's movements and arrangements.

Besides, it’s impossible to work as a part-time job!

As for the freelance profession, my old profession as a potion maker seems not bad, but when I think about it carefully, it is actually not very suitable.

Without the medicine garden, it would be difficult to reduce costs.

Moreover, he had just arrived and Bremen was a big city. With his limited potion production, it would be difficult for him to negotiate a stable "client" in a short period of time.

All in all, it's a thankless job.

In the end, Godd chose a career that had no future in Hogan City but was extremely lucrative in Bremen City: restoration craftsman.

Besides the financial prospect, there is another benefit to being a restoration craftsman:
More contact with magic items can also indirectly enhance Gaode's knowledge in the field of spells.

After the blooming season comes the sunniest period of the year.

The Flower Flame Moon ends and the Sunshine Moon comes.

Gode's first morning in Bremen started with a cup of black tea worth 1.5 copper coins and a piece of wheat bread with honey.

After having a simple breakfast in a small restaurant, Gode took a public carriage to the Craftsmen's Guild in the Siren District.

After getting off the carriage, he entered the hall and stood in front of the young female receptionist in charge of reception.

"Sir, do you need to find a suitable craftsman, or do you want to join our guild?" The female receptionist looked at Gao De, who had changed into a new set of clothes, and asked with a smile. "I want to join the guild, but I don't know any official members who can recommend me." Gao De said straight to the point.

"That's okay. You don't necessarily need a recommendation from a formal member. If you can pass the guild's assessment, our guild will welcome you to join." The receptionist said familiarly.

"How to assess?"

"What kind of craftsman are you? A jeweler, a watchmaker, a carpenter, or a blacksmith?"

"Restoration craftsman."

"Restoration craftsman? Really?" The young female receptionist looked surprised.

"Of course, what's wrong?"

"Restoration craftsmen have always been a scarce and scarce talent in our guild. Sir, please wait here for a moment. I want to tell Mr. Bass the news."

"Please come in." Gao De nodded slightly.

So the young female receptionist twisted her graceful body and hurried upstairs.

After a while, she followed a middle-aged man in a black classical robe down, who should be the Mr. Bass mentioned by the female receptionist.

"Are you the restoration craftsman Anna mentioned?"

Bass's originally happy expression faded after he saw Goder, and he said suspiciously.

Sure enough, he is still too young, Gao De thought to himself.

Although his body has become a little stronger than at the beginning and he has deliberately dressed more maturely, his youth cannot be concealed by these.

In the eyes of most people, the profession of restoration craftsman is a profession that requires qualifications.

"My father and grandfather are both restorers, and I've been learning from them since I was a kid," Gao De had to bring out what he said to Mrs. Misu again, "If you doubt my ability, there's still an assessment, right?"

"Okay," Bass said without further ado, taking out a small round bead and placing it on the table, "If you can repair this bright bead, you will pass the test."

"There's a tool room upstairs, and you can use the tools and supplies for free."

Gao De didn't waste any words. He picked up the "bright bead" and signaled to the female receptionist named Anna, "Lead the way."

Under Anna's guidance, Goder came to one of the workshops on the second floor of the Craftsmen's Guild.

There is a huge table in the workshop, which is filled with various tools, including carving knives, magic pens and inks needed to repair magic runes.

Gao De walked into the workshop and said to the young female receptionist, "Please wait outside for a while."

Then he closed the door.

The receptionist had no objection.

Repairing magic items is a delicate job. If someone is watching, the craftsman may be distracted and the repair may fail.

What she didn't expect was that the door was opened in just a quarter of an hour.

"Sir, what is this?" she asked puzzled.

As far as she knew, it would take an average repair craftsman more than half an hour to repair a magic item, even if it was just a low-end daily magic item.

Have you given up?

He is so young, he certainly doesn't look like a qualified restorer, the young female receptionist thought so, but she also felt inexplicably disappointed.

"Done." Gode handed the bright bead in his hand to Anna.

"It's done?!" Anna couldn't believe it. Seeing God nodded again to show his approval, she quickly said, "Wait a minute, I'll show it to Mr. Bass!"

After saying that, she left quickly with the clacking of her leather shoes.

Godard smiled and watched Anna leave.
