Chapter 465: “Mages and Guilds”
Two days later, Jerry took back the device.
Summarize the new language and words collected, and then transmit them to the translator.
ETA 5 minutes to be finished. The voice sounded in the bracelet.
Integration is complete. Please restart the translator.
Jerry followed the steps to restart the translator attached to his earlobe. Two seconds later, when he looked up at the strange text on the building in the center of the city, a translation had already appeared in the contact lenses in his eyes.
[Welcome to Hargeon.]
It turns out that this city is called Hargeon.
Landing in a deserted alley and releasing the spell, Jerry changed his clothes into the more common clothing and walked out of the alley. At this time, the conversations of the pedestrians on the street were no longer incomprehensible in his ears but turned into his typical daily language.
After wandering the street for a long time, he learned some information from the conversations and books he bought.
The world he currently lives in is called Earth Land. The current location is Hargeon, a port city in the remotest part of the Kingdom of Fiore. The Kingdom of Fiore is a neutral country with a population of 17 million. This country has many people who can cast magic, who are called mages.
Of course, you cant be called a mage if you can do some magic, but you must reach a certain level of strength and then join a guild after passing the test. Otherwise, youre just an ordinary person who knows magic.
Because magic is a common thing in this world, and there are traces of magic everywhere.
Just like when he was wandering the streets for the past two days, he could sense that some passersby contained a certain amount of magic power. Most of them were very few, even worse than many first-year students at Hogwarts.
According to what he heard, fishing has always been more prosperous than magic because of its remote location and closeness to the sea.
In the city, less than 10% of the people possessed magic power in their bodies, and none of them could get the title of mage. If people wanted to pursue magic, they would leave here and go to those big cities to learn magic.
Therefore, if Jerry wants to really understand the magic system of this world, it would be impossible to do it in this city because the people here dont actually know very much about it.
However, before leaving the city, he decided to visit the only magic shop in the city, maybe he could buy something useful like various types of magic books.
Although there is no guild in this city nor anyone who can be called a mage, there is still a magic shop here that provides supplies of magic items for traveling mages.
Through his knowledge of the world in this short period of time, he has not found any movies, TV, or novels related to the current information in his memory. It can only be said that the story of this world may not exist in the worlds he currently had.
He didnt particularly care about it. After all, he was relatively confident in his current strength. Even if he didnt understand the world, it wouldnt be a big problem. Most importantly, this is the only world he encountered where magic is common.
According to the introduction in a book called What You Dont Know About the Guilds that he just bought, the number of mages registered in the entire Kingdom of Fiore was in the hundreds range.
Currently, according to the number of tasks completed by the major guilds, the Fairy Tail Guild ranked first place.
Halfway through the city, Jerry finally found the magic shop with the red octopus logo.
Welcome. How can I help you? As soon as he opened the door, a bald old man who looked at least sixty or seventy years old greeted him warmly.
Im just wandering around for now. Jerry smiled and began to look around.
Probably because of the decline of magic in the city, the inside of this magic shop is not big, and there is not much stuff.
Dont think my store had only few things when it has plenty of things, we just stocked ourselves with new products. Look at this years most popular product.
When Jerry appeared, he quickly took out a blue pouch and started to offer him. Seeing this, Jerry looked over with interest.
He saw the owner reached out and entered a magic power into the pouch, and a small magic circle appeared on the pouch. Immediately, the owners original yellow clothes turned purple.
With this magic color-changing pouch, you will no longer have to worry about the monotonous color of your clothes. There are dozens of different colors which you can customize yourself.
Interesting. Seeing this, Jerry smiled and took the color-changing pouch in his hand, and observed it.
He was interested because this magic item with a very simple effect showed a magic system that was completely different from the magic he knew and belonged to the unique magic system of this world.
How much for it? Jerry decided to buy it first and then study it slowly when he had time.
As soon as the owner heard Jerry asking about the price, his eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth and said, This is the latest product on the line, a little more expensive. Ill give you 30,000 Jewels!
No problem. Do you have any other magic items? As long as I think its good, I can buy them. Jerry took out a stack of notes worth at least one million Jewels and placed it on the counter in front of the owner.
Jewel is the currency of this world. There are banknotes and coins, there are four kinds of banknotes, 1000, 2000, 5000, and 10000, and there are six kinds of coins: 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 500.
Since neither coins nor banknotes have any numbers or the like, Jerry can create them directly from nothing through his transfiguration spell. Therefore, at least he will not be short of money in this world.
The owner looked at the money on the counter, and his back suddenly straightened up. He knows that today he got a big customer coming to his store.
