<div> "You see, although neither you nor I can discern the clues, for the price of a Moon Crystal, it's just a small gamble." The Wandering Mage replied mysteriously, "What if it's a profitable deal?"
 Brand nodded, took the card from his hand, and burned it with fire—he wasn't aware that Destiny Cards had this trait before.
 The Wandering Mage was taken aback by Brand's action. Although Starfire was merely a trick of an Elemental Mage, performing it without incantations was not something a third-rate mage like him could achieve.
 This indicated that Brand was an Elemental Mage, and not just the kind of apprentice you find everywhere, but a bona fide Black Iron Rank Elemental Mage. From the speed of his casting, it was no less than the Second Circle.
 The Wandering Mage, though mediocre himself, had a good eye, "So the Master is an Elemental Mage," he said in admiration, while sneaking a look at Brand's expression, "Is the Master interested in this?"
 "Why?" Brand put away the card, unsealing it and asking in return.
𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚 "I have quite a few more."
 "Quite a few more?" Brand asked, "How many do you expect me to buy? It's just a momentary interest."
 Qian, seeing her lord put on such an act, couldn't help but slightly purse her lips, but Antitina pulled on her hand from behind, cautioning the red-haired girl to be more careful and avoid giving anything away.
 "Of course," the Wandering Mage had been studying these cards for some time, finding them in the attic of a second-hand ancient house. However, being no professional scholar, he lost patience after researching them for a while without any results, "It's okay; if the Master is interested in the rest, I can sell them to you for cheaper."
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">

 </div>
 </div> "How much cheaper?" Brand feigned hesitation and asked.
 "There are five in total, for a total of four Moon Crystals, how about that?"
 "Four?"
 "Okay, okay, three!" The Wandering Mage felt that three was still a profit for him, fearing that if he stubbornly quoted too high, the other might leave in a huff. After all, he had tried to sell these things in many places without anyone taking an interest—rarely did such a gullible person come along.
 Brand immediately nodded; sometimes it's wise to know when to quit while ahead. The incident at the Centaur's Hoof Market was a lesson. He said, "Let me see them first."
 The Wandering Mage quickly nodded, "Master, can you wait a moment? I left the items at my place, it's not far from here, I can be back soon."
 Brand gave him a glance and replied, "I'll wait for you here and give you half an hour."
 If Brand were merely a noble, even a rich patron, the Wandering Mage wouldn't have been so obsequious, but Brand was a legitimate Elemental Mage, which made a difference. The Wandering Mage quickly departed, and Antitina watched his figure disappear into the alley before sighing, "I finally understand why Miss Roman got involved with Lord."
 "That stuff is indeed useless to him," Brand shook his head, not seeing it that way. He had profited greatly from the Stone Key before, but these Destiny Cards were of no use to anyone except Travel Mages. As Tu Men told him, Travel Mages were one in a million in this world.
 According to the master's example, there might not be a second Travel Mage in the entire Erune. As for whether Kruz had one, that's another matter. This meant that if he didn't take the Wandering Mage's cards, they might not sell at all; maybe a scholar would be interested, but not at such a high price.
 Therefore, Brand didn't think he profited from this transaction.
 Moreover, in his view, Destiny Cards were not scarce in this world, just that rare cards were hard to come by.
 Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled, "Compared to this, the upcoming business is the real focus."
 "Upcoming?" Antitina was puzzled.
 "I plan to recruit that fellow."
 "What?" The noble daughter was startled, wondering when her young lord had become a trafficker of people.
 "That fellow is an Elemental Mage, with a solid foundation," Brand replied, "I plan to separate the magic profession from the Guard Knights and form a young Magic Guide Team. However, having only Melia and Mo Duncan among this group is still lacking."
 "Official Wizards aren't interested in my small temple, and even if they join, they won't be easily managed initially," the young lord candidly expressed his thoughts in front of his staff, "On the other hand, third-rate mages like him are much easier to manage."
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> "Is there no problem with this?" Antitina was a bit worried that her lord's method of gathering people like discarded items might leave some hidden dangers, but she didn't know that Brand had a way to train an ordinary person into an Official Wizard, let alone those who already had talent.
 "Moreover, the other party might not necessarily be willing, right?" she asked again.
 Brand shook his head; Antitina still lacked understanding of the world of sorcery, and no caster would refuse to remove the word 'apprentice' from their title.
 In the Vorn World, Wizard Apprentices were everywhere, but Official Wizards were not common, and stepping into the true Wizard World meant being a cut above the rest.
 Thus, he pointed to himself, "I'm still an Official Elemental Mage; with this opportunity, he won't give it up, he'll be delighted."
 Antitina was momentarily stunned.
 Qian smiled on the side, "So when doing business with the Lord, one must be very careful, or else you might inadvertently get yourself involved too." As she said this, she glanced at Brand.
 "Exactly." The noble daughter nodded.
 Brand certainly knew they were making fun of him, but he didn't mind enjoying this rare leisurely moment, shrugged, and didn't take it seriously.
