Lord Wizard: Starting your studies with infinite magic crystals!

Listening to their conversation, Wayne couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle to himself. It reminded him of his past life, where he earned money abroad and spent it domestically.

Moreover, it seems he's living a good life thanks to this profession; after all, you can't be called a young master without some family wealth.

Wayne then stopped thinking and asked the question that concerned him.

Why was the ship silent?

Upon hearing this, the young man explained, "This is a regulation of the Cloud Sea City Ship Management Association. All ships must be equipped with a silent alchemy array plate, which can be maintained by putting one low-grade magic crystal into it every year."

"Without this installation, it's impossible to drive in Cloud City."

Wayne nodded knowingly.

.........

An hour has passed.

Accompanied by the boy's vivid explanation, this hour felt like Wayne was watching a dubbed movie.

The city of clouds truly lives up to its name.

Of course, Wayne was also impressed by the young man in front of him. Those words were obviously not the young man's own insights, but rather something pieced together from the insights of people at different stages over a long period of time. Wayne could roughly guess that this was one of the foundations of the young man's family, that is, the understanding of Cloud Sea City by several generations.

However, this is still quite impressive. After all, the speaker delivered a vivid and engaging explanation for an hour with few breaks. This level of output is not something that ordinary people can achieve, and it is clear that he has put in a lot of hard work.

Wayne took out a low-grade magic crystal and tossed it to the boy.

"The explanation was good."

"Tell me about the latest extraordinary news from Cloudsea City, and also tell me where the Adventurers' Guild is located."

The boy was very happy to receive the low-grade magic crystal, then put it in his pocket and bowed.

"Thank you for your generous gift, sir."

After he finished speaking, he replied.

"Let me think about the latest extraordinary news."

Wayne nodded and looked at the crowd on the shore with considerable curiosity, because compared to the capital, this city had a much wider variety of races.

Races such as short goblins, catwomen, and even apes roam the streets.

At that moment, the boy's voice rang out.

"I've made up my mind."

Wayne turned to the boy and gestured for him to speak.

"There are many extraordinary news stories in Cloud Sea City every day, which can be divided into three types. The first type is that shops advertise extraordinary treasures. For example, half a month ago, the Elf Merchant Guild advertised the sale of 'Water Crystal'."

"The second category mentions what treasures the extraordinary individuals obtained in the wild. For example, the leader of the Wild Wolf Knights hunted down an Earth Armor Beast in the wild and obtained many Earth Element Gems."

"The third category is gossip, such as Lord Langtian marrying an eighteen-year-old woman three days ago."

Upon hearing the second half of the sentence, Wayne couldn't help but twitch his lips. It really was true that wherever they went, the men were all the same, never changing their original intentions, and all liking eighteen-year-olds.

As for earth element gems and water crystals, the capital city has no shortage of them; in fact, it's overflowing with them.

If it's the Heart of the Earth or the Heart of the Sea, Wayne wouldn't mind joining in the fun.

At this moment, the boy's voice rang out again: "As for the location of the Adventurers' Guild that you want to know, it's in a tavern in the west of the city. If you want to go there, I can take you there now."

Wayne nodded.

"Okay, take us there now."

The boy nodded, then turned and ran into the cabin to inform them. At that moment, Aurora came to Wayne's side.

"Young master, what are we doing at the Adventurers' Guild?"

"Go and find out some information."

"Adventurers' Guilds are located all over the world, and they may even be established in small towns or cities. Therefore, they have the most information, so I plan to go and see if there is any interesting news."

As he spoke, he glanced back at the cabin.

"The information that ordinary people know is mostly public information, which may make us a little happier, but it doesn't help much with our exploration journey."

…………

After half an hour.

At the western shore of the city, Wayne walked ashore, turned around, and smiled at the young man who was still following him.

"Alright, you don't need to take us anymore."

As he spoke, he tossed out another low-grade magic crystal.

"This is the guide's fee. Hope we meet again someday."

He turned and left with Aurora, just then the boy's voice rang out.

"We don't need that many!"

Wayne didn't turn around, but the voice did indeed ring out.

"Your story is worth telling."

After walking a distance, the boy's shout rang out.

"Thank you for your kind offer!"

Wayne chuckled as he heard the shouts behind him, a smile on his face as he walked toward the Adventurers' Guild.

"Is the young master very happy?"

"Isn't it something to be happy about meeting someone who doesn't treat me like a sucker?"

Aurora was slightly taken aback, then smiled.

…………

Ten minutes later.

Aurora pointed at the bustling tavern in front of her, somewhat surprised: "This is the headquarters of the Adventurers' Guild?"

"Isn't it written above?"

"But why does it look more like a tavern that's actually running a business?"

Wayne shook his head.

"You'll know once you go in and take a look."

He then stepped inside first. Once inside, he saw knights dressed in either tight-fitting clothes or armor. As for how he guessed it?

Is there any need to guess?

With an average arm thicker than his waist, it's hard not to think of him as a knight.

Arriving at the wine counter.

Standing here is a brightly dressed young man.

"Two new guests, and this beautiful little elf, what would you like to drink?"

"Give me a glass of juice."

"I'm just like my master!"

Aurora then sat down next to Wayne before speaking, "Give me a drink."

The young man couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.

"Your adventure team is quite interesting."

After saying that, he quickly handed the juice and wine to Wayne and the others. Wayne took a sip and then asked.

"Any interesting news from Cloud City?"

The young man stopped what he was doing and looked at Wayne with great interest.

"Is this your first time at the Adventurers' Guild?"

Wayne nodded.

"That's not surprising, since information always comes with a price. What kind of information do you need?"

Wayne shook his head.

"To be honest, I don't know what kind of information I need. How about you bring out a catalog and I can pick some?"

The words fell.

The young man actually took out a piece of paper and handed it over.

"These are all bounties. Adventurers who venture out for the first time usually don't have any specific goals, so they'll generally accept some commissions. You can take a look."

Wayne picked it up and looked at it, finally fixing his gaze on the sixth line of the delegation directory.

Searching for the Snow Ginseng

Wayne raised an eyebrow. If he remembered correctly, this so-called Snow Ginseng was a magical plant that grew on the summit of a snow-capped mountain. How could such a commission appear in Cloud Sea City?

At that moment, the young man's voice rang out.

"You're wondering if I assigned the task to the wrong person, right?"

Wayne looked up at the young man, but didn't ask how others knew what he was thinking. Since they were all superhumans, this face-to-face observation made it easier to guess what the other person was wondering about.

Moreover, the only puzzling thing about the entire catalog is this one commission.

"I remember that snow ginseng can only be found on the summit of snow-capped mountains. You didn't bring over the commission from the northern ice plains, did you?"

The young man chuckled.

"You're joking, how could I make such a basic mistake?"

He then explained.

"The snow ginseng entrusted here is not the snow ginseng from the northern ice plains; its full name should be:"

"Gento: Snow's Ginseng."

"As the name suggests, Snow Ginseng is born from seeds that flutter in the sky when the first snowflakes fall in the East, which then merge and take root. This magical plant contains a trace of the essence of the 'first snow' in the East."
