Chapter 141: Time to become Rank 1 mage (2/2)
”I don't know,” Kadyn replied and shook his head. ”I just wanted to open a shop and do business, but now, I don't think it will go as smoothly as I thought at first. Though we have killed Babul and the matter has settled for now, but if they could dig a little deeper, it won't be hard to reach us.”
”So what do you intend to do?”
”For now,” Kadyn looked at the bustling city and took a deep breath, ”let's just try to establish our business. We will talk about other things later. If Sweeders and Webney found us, let's just escape. It's never too late to revenge.”
After that, the bird vanished. Kadyn thought for a moment and then another figure appeared behind him.
Hot Rod eyed Kadyn in bewilderment. He didn't know why he was summoned here, as he was about to ask, Kadyn said. ”Do you want to become an official employee of the shop?”
Hot Rod trembled at that, an excited look emerged on his worried face. Kadyn turned around and threw the scroll at him. ”Read it before dropping the blood.”
The man held the scroll with his trembling hands. Then turned towards Kadyn. ”I believe you, I don't need to read it.” After that, he drops the blood on the scroll. His action caught Kadyn unprepared. Then he opened Hot Rod's window and a pleasant expression appeared on his face.
[Employee Name: Hot Rod]
[Employee Rank: Iron]
[Magus Rank: Rank 1 mage]
[Element: Fire]
[Energy Points: 0]
[Loyalty: 36]
[Evaluation: Good. There is always room for improvement]
Kadyn never thought that Hot Rod's loyalty had reached so high, almost equal to Khrom. If it wasn't for the Energy Points he would have become a Gold Rank Employee already.
He looked at the man in a new light and said with a smile. ”Go, forge a few Rank 1 artefacts. The more we can sell your artefacts, the more energy points you will earn, and the more you will be able to learn from the library. Didn't you want to learn the rune and forging technique of the Space Artifact? There are lots of precious runes and forging techniques in the library. Work hard.”
After he sent an excited Hot Rod into the shop, a smile appeared on his face. ”It would be great if Hot Rod was able to increase his rank.” It was the reason he asked him to become an employee. After all, he was almost like a slave to Kadyn for two years, he could make him forge artefacts for two years without giving much in return. However, then Hot Rod would always remain at the Rank 1 mage and artisan.
That's why after giving some thought Kadyn accepted him as an employee. They were at a place where they could spot Rank 1 mage anywhere. They needed to improve their strength and skills at the same time. Hot had a good chance to become a Rank 2 artisan in a short time if the opportunity was given to him.
Kadyn stretched his hands and twisted his waist and then said. ”It's time to become a Rank 1 mage.”
