Magic: My equipment slots have no restrictions

After lunch, Victor put down his cutlery and followed Lilith to the study.

He had composed himself and could roughly guess the other party's intentions, a calm smile on his face.

"Father is very easy to talk to, as long as you don't do anything reckless."

The black-haired loli became more talkative, seemingly speaking up for the baron, but her tone leaned towards the boy in front of her.

Viktor nodded and pushed open the door to the study.

The moment the door closed

The faint smile on Lilith's face faded, and a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.

For some reason, she felt a vague sense of nervousness just from not accompanying the other person into the room.

"It must be your imagination. I'm just taking care of him for my sister."

......

In the study.

When Victor entered, he saw the Baron standing in front of the bookshelf, searching for books.

I don't know if they noticed someone coming in or if they actually found the book.

The Baron pulled out a book.

From a distance of about two meters, you can clearly see the title "The 100,000 Wonderful Uses of the Mage's Hand" written in common language on the book cover.

"Would you like to read this? It's a book only adults can read."

"There's absolutely no need for that."

Victor's refusal seemed to be within the Baron's expectations; he simply smiled.

"Sorry, young man, I thought you would like this gift."

As he spoke, he casually stuffed the books back onto the shelf and then walked to the seat by the window.

Across the table in front of the Baron, Victor suddenly felt an invisible pressure fall on his shoulders.

That was the oppressive power of those in power.

"You're probably already guessing why I personally received you. So... what kind of reward do you desire, Master?"

Baron Sebastian's gaze fell on a piece of paper with neat handwriting, his hand toying with the quill pen he had just picked up from the table:

"Let me make this clear first: if you choose to work for me, I'll be happy to recruit you and offer a high salary of 10 gold coins per day."

Throughout the entire process, he never looked up to examine the guest who entered the study.

Victor, however, did not care about the Baron's attitude.

The other party was, after all, a local lord. They were just taking advantage of my outstanding performance to recruit me while offering me a reward.

As for compensation...

Becoming a lord's subordinate is equivalent to losing your freedom and initiative; you will need the lord's permission to do whatever you want in the future.

So even if the other party offered his daughter in exchange, he wouldn't consider it.

"If I may be so bold as to ask, is the reward Your Excellency bestowed upon you an extra gift?"

"That's right."

The baron paused in his quill play and finally looked up at Victor.

He was initially skeptical when Lyra praised the boy in her message.

Seeing how cautious the other party was, he began to believe them somewhat.

"You really should be a mage, not a brainless class like a warrior."

This statement, while somewhat stereotypical, doesn't seem entirely wrong. Many soldiers do indeed fight without thinking, but...

Victor looked at the portrait on the wall, which depicted Baron Sebastian gripping his greatsword and stabbing it fiercely into the right wing of the blue dragon.

Let me give you some hints.

The Baron seemed oblivious to Victor's gaze and put down his quill.

"My late wife was an 8th-level mage. There must be magical tools in her inventory that are suitable for your current use."

In his mind, mages, being fragile, often need to rely on powerful magical artifacts to unleash their full potential.

Viktor's reaction was exactly what he expected.

"Please take me to the warehouse."

Viktor said seriously.

After being busy these past few days, he has managed to bring the curse of the bow tie to a manageable level, but he hasn't acquired a single new piece of equipment.

Upon hearing that there was a warehouse left behind by a mage, his first reaction was to go there to find equipment.

"Kid, if my deceased wife were still alive, she would definitely get along well with you."

The baron said something strange and gestured for Victor to come over.

Victor walked to the table and saw the other person rotating the paper so that the front was facing him.

"Take a look, this is a recruitment commission issued by a chamber of commerce. If you can accept this commission, I will give you another 500 gold coins."

Viktor was somewhat tempted, but he still carefully reviewed the contents of the commission.

Recruit a level 3 mage to escort the young lady of a large merchant guild into the magic academy in one week. Reward: 500 gold coins.

That's all for now. As for the name of the chamber of commerce, it wasn't recorded, probably intentionally concealed.

"Adding the 500 promised by the Baron, that makes 1000 gold coins?"

For a mage, 1000 gold coins might just be the cost of learning two intermediate spells.

But for ordinary people, this is undoubtedly a huge sum of money, enough to buy a high-quality shop, form a mercenary group, or engage in small-scale trade.

"Baron, may I request information about the merchant guild?"

"No, but I can give you an extra 300 gold coins."

"make a deal."

Seeing that Victor had finally agreed, the Baron's smile seemed even more sincere.

Then he got up decisively and led Viktor out of the study.

As soon as they stepped outside, the two bumped into Lilith, who was acting suspiciously.

"I'm sorry, Father, I was just... passing by."

In front of the Baron, the little girl, who once seemed to be evolving into a little devil, now looked like a large quail.

Viktor didn't know why the other party was acting this way, but fortunately, nothing unexpected happened.

"Alright, my dear Lilith, I'll forgive you for passing by this time. Go back to your room and rest."

Sebastian patted his daughter's head and then led Victor toward the warehouse.

Watching the two leave, Lilith wore a look of utter disbelief.

What's going on? Father seems to be in a very good mood today.

What exactly did Viktor do?

the other side.

The Baron led Victor to the warehouse, took out the key, and opened the door:

"Don't get too excited, young man."

"Large merchant guilds have very high requirements for the adventurers they recruit, so don't disappoint me."

With that, he pushed open the door and went inside.

Viktor followed behind, and when he saw the scene clearly, he was immediately taken aback.

The warehouse was not old and dilapidated, covered in cobwebs, but rather very clean and tidy, with all the items displayed spotlessly on the display stand.

Moreover, looking around, Viktor actually found something he needed.

It was a half-blue bird feather hidden in a box of gold coins. Although it was mostly covered, the purple light it emitted was dazzling and startling.

"The greed in your eyes reminds me of a certain businessman."

Seeing Victor staring at the box of gold coins with a cold glint in his eyes, the Baron suddenly regretted bringing others here.

However, before the thought could even settle, the idea was fully formed.

The boy suddenly looked up:

"Can I only take one item from here?"

"If I could only choose one thing, I would like to take that tail feather with me."

"..."

Upon hearing the boy's words, Baron Sebastian's expression froze instantly.

Staring into those sincere eyes, he gradually frowned, and the smile on his face slowly faded.

Only when Victor sensed that the other man was about to attack him at any moment did the Baron sigh and turn his back.

"Could you please wait for me outside?"
