After the discussion with Varys ended, Benjamin walked out the main door. He took a stroll along The City of Rayleigh’s streets, with his mind thinking of ways of earning three thousand gold coins.
Three thousand gold coins was definitely a huge number, even for a normal mage. But Benjamin was not just any mage. If he really wanted, he could pull out a lot of things he owned - Elemental Crystals, Law of Meditation, the Magical Instrument’s blueprint... the could easily get three thousand gold coins by selling those items off.
But those were his treasures, he couldn’t just take it out.
He had to pull three thousand gold coins out of thin air and it must be legal, which at least would not ruin his reputation. Unfortunately, there wasn’t any matured loan system in this world. Even with venture loans, it would have solved his problem.
Then... How do normal mages earn money?
