Chapter 213 Level 3 Magic "Hymn of Courage"
(Additional update for the 10,000 point reward of the distinguished boss [Fanfanfantuaner])
After stealing half a day of leisure, Raven Getting busy again.
Although the position of president is held by Denise, everyone in Munn City knows that Raven is the real person in charge, so various invitations are constantly being sent to Raven's desk.
There are local businessmen and traveling nobles, all with extremely enthusiastic attitudes.
After all, Raven is not only a noble, but also a third-level magician.
In fact, on the night that Raven and Manseni said goodbye and returned to the headquarters, they attended a banquet - a sedan chair was carried by everyone, and the local businessmen were enthusiastic. Of course, Raven could not be cold. People's hearts.
In the next few days, Lei Wen had many drinking parties and his schedule was full.
It is now June, Lei Wen greets guests with the chirping of cicadas every day, and sleeps peacefully amidst the hissing of insects.
If Denise hadn’t been around to recharge her batteries, I would have been a bit overwhelmed.
On the fifth day after arriving in Meng'en City, it rained lightly.
It’s rare that I don’t have any social activities today.
Vesdon has been pestering Raven for several days, wanting a knighthood. Seeing that Raven has no intention of letting go, he basically doesn't appear in front of Raven.
After getting up and having breakfast, Raven glanced at the documents in the study and dozed off while the sound of rain dripping outside the window was heard.
The coolness brought by the rain dissipated the heat of early June. The raindrops slapped on the windows and fell into the puddles. The natural music made Raven greatly relax.
The black cat sat next to him and fell asleep with its owner.
It wasn't until there was a knock on the door that Raven rubbed his sleepy eyes and stood up: "Come in."
A female knight wearing golden armor walked into the room.
"Baron Raven." The female knight beat her chest and saluted.
She was wearing a battle helmet, and her chestnut hair was wetted by the rain and stuck to her forehead. The rainwater left in bunches on her standard plate armor and gathered in a puddle at her feet. It was obvious that she came in the rain.
"It turns out to be Knight Savannah." Raven showed a gentle smile on his face, and then said loudly: "Come here, prepare towels for Knight Savannah, one or two, don't you even have a wink at all?"
< br>"No need, Lord Baron." Savannah He quickly refused: "I was ordered by Archbishop Thomas to send you a reward, and I have other places to go after."
Looking at Raven, Savannah felt mixed emotions in her heart. Before, it was Raven who rescued her from the scorpion nest of Hlaiti.
At that time, she was a second-level holy knight of the Holy See. Although she was grateful to Raven, she did not think highly of him in her heart.
In Savannah's mind, Raven is just a lord with a certain mind and military wisdom. He has no more than a hundred soldiers, and his own strength is only at the first level, which is only 20 years old. He can barely be called The future is promising.
Later, Savannah learned about Raven's past and the nickname "Little Bee", and she became even more contemptuous of Raven and simply forgot about him.
How could He De, a border aristocrat who was born as a gangster, be related to her?
As a result, in just one and a half years, Raven's personal strength jumped to the third level. Although his title remained unchanged, his territory expanded more than ten times, and he even became the Sheriff of Xuefeng County.
Even Archbishop Thomas, if he wants to deepen the influence of the Holy See, must take a look at Ravenco.
It is already an existence that she needs to look up to.
"This is the award Archbishop Thomas ordered me to give you." Savanna rubbed her fingers, and a scroll appeared in her hand, and then she placed it respectfully in front of Raven.
Raven did not open it immediately: "I just accidentally killed a vampire and failed to protect Bishop Byron. I... deserve it."
" Please don't worry about it." Savanna said: "We, all the servants who serve the Lord of Light. He was already ready to devote himself to the cause of light. Bishop Byron died on the front line because of his own bravery. This is a feat worthy of joy."
Raven understood Thomas's subtext. This was what he wanted to say. He must give up part of the credit for killing vampires to Byron.
Otherwise word spreads that a dignified third-level magician was instantly killed by a vampire without any positive effect. Not only will the Holy See of Light be ridiculed, but Thomas, his immediate superior, will also not look good on his face.
And this so-called award is used to buy face.
Raven pushed the scroll away with his fingers, and a light flashed in his eyes.
This scroll records the third-level light attribute magic "Hymn of Courage".
This is the magical version of the divine skill "Blessing of Heroes". It can only be mastered by the Church of Light. It is priceless and has no market. Even if you donate tens of thousands of gold coins to the Holy See, you may not be able to obtain it.
This magic can be used on 5 people at a time. It will make the recipient not feel any fatigue. The recovery efficiency of fighting spirit is increased by about 35%, and the resistance to elemental magic is greatly improved, basically making it immune to major diseases. Most first-level destructive elemental magic lasts as long as three days.
It is precisely because of this magic and divine art that the holy knights of the Holy See can be invincible and charge into battle on the battlefield.
Bishop Thomas, you are so willing!
"Indeed, Bishop Byron left a brave and tenacious impression on me." Raven said seriously: "If his magic hadn't severely injured the vampire, I'm afraid I would have drunkenly hated him on the spot!"< br>
“Actually, this award should not be given to me, but to Bishop Byron!”
For Raven, defeating the vampire is just a false name, which can neither enhance his title nor his title. Cannot improve strength.
For the clergy, this is a real achievement.
There is no harm to Raven in giving away this credit, only benefits. Why not do it?
What Savanna was most afraid of was that Raven refused to let go. Seeing this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Baron Raven, for your kindness and honesty. If it were anyone else, he would definitely hold on to this achievement." In my hand."
"I'm just telling the truth." Lei Wen put the scroll into his belt calmly: "I will write a book in person later and write down Bishop Byron's achievements in detail. Voluntarily donate 1,000 gold coins as a token of gratitude to him!"
This attitude surprised Savannah. She thought that Raven would be extremely arrogant and arrogant when he achieved such an achievement at such a young age, but she didn't. Thinking of being so easy to talk to, I also felt a little selfish: "I won't say any more words of thanks, but if you can use me in any way in the future, please feel free to ask."
Raven smiled slightly: "Of course, the two of us have been friends for a long time."
Actually, Raven did not take Savannah's words seriously.
It has been a year and a half since he rescued Savannah. During this time, Savannah has not shown any form of gratitude, not even a letter has come.
It is enough to prove that this person is cold-hearted and not good enough to cooperate with him.
The reason why he says this now is probably because Raven has achieved something now.
After all, owing favors and having favors are ways to strengthen connections.
Savanna said goodbye and left for Snake Castle; Raven did not rest either. Combining the reports handed in by Weber and Manseni, he began to write documents, piling up rhetoric and praising Byron in various ways. Exaggerate as much as you want.
Being entrusted by others and being loyal to others.
If someone is willing to spend tens of thousands of gold coins to let Raven brag about him, Raven will be happy to do so.
When Savanna came back from Snake Castle, Raven handed the document to her. Savanna's face turned red with shame after reading it.
She also knew Byron, and even if Byron was resurrected now, he might not be able to recognize what was written on it.
But Archbishop Thomas wanted this effect.
Next, Raven stayed for a few more days and finished handling most of the important events.
As for Raven’s previous proposal, Manseni did not express her position, obviously still thinking about it.
Leaven didn't force this, he just didn't want to see his old acquaintance trapped in the cage she made herself. It was up to Manseni to decide how to make the final decision.
We set off in the morning, boarded the hippogryph outside the city, and returned to Eagle Castle in the afternoon.
As for William, Raven gave him an order to come on his own. He could suck blood on the way, but he was not allowed to kill anyone.
After all, just after claiming to have solved a vampire, it would be a shame to see another case involving a vampire.
Looking from a high altitude, the foundation construction of the new castle has been completed, and it will be officially completed in about a year at most.
In contrast, Annuo's witch academy was built more quickly.
After all, the witch thing is not visible to the public. The overall scale of the building is not small, but the pursuit is still low-key, so the amount of work is smaller. Back at the castle, Raven called Old Gordon: "Did anything happen while I was away these days?"
Old Gordon said: "You told us to watch the death of The Order of the Hand has been very honest recently, and we also stay I mean not to let them meet with Father Crouch."
"Other than that, it's all trivial."
"By the way, there is another one that is quite absurd. But there are widespread rumors.”
"It is said that the Fox family intends to marry Miss Nancy to you and form a marriage alliance with the Griffith family."
Leaven frowned slightly: "Where did it come from?"
"It's difficult to trace the origin." Old Gordon said: "But judging from the scale, not only the Eagle Territory, but most of the Nord province already knows about it."
"This old thing!" Raven He rapped his knuckles on the table, a sneer forming on his lips.
There is no doubt that only Raven, Montreal and the Slater family know about this matter.
It is impossible for people around Raven to leak the news, and even if it leaks, it should originate from the Eagle Territory.
And the Slater family has no reason to do this.
So it can only be the news released by Montreal.
In addition to the Fox family, there is only one Earl family, Slater, in the province, but the Slater family has no women of suitable age.
With the strength and reputation of the Fox family, the news spread, basically cutting off the possibility of marriage between Raven and other noble families.
After all, no one would want to offend a powerful count.
What a good move!
Unfortunately, this time Montreal's opponent is Raven.
With a chuckle, Lei Wen said: "Don't worry about this rumor. It has been circulating for a long time. I want to see who will be embarrassed!"
A few more instructions about the territory. Regarding management matters, Raven got up and went to the secret room, where he activated the deep blue platform for the first time in a long time.
First, a magic verification was conducted. As soon as this was initiated, the face of supervisor Monroe popped up: "Raven, why is it you, and the people around you?"
Leaven spread his hands: "No, I'm the only one here."
"No, you, you are in the third level!?" Monroe's eyes widened, and the wrinkles on his face smoothed out.
"Well, I don't know why I broke through." Lei Wen said: "Is there any problem?"
The problem is too big!
It took a lot of effort for Monroe to suppress the urge to swear.
He is now 62 years old and is only at the third level.
As a result, Raven, a 22-year-old guy, only became a magician when he was 20 years old, and he has completed his 62-year journey!
No wonder Bartley was so interested in Raven before!
Such a chosen one must have a good relationship!
"In this case, you first apply for certification as a third-level magician." Monroe regained his serious expression: "Although according to the rules, you have to get the badge to be considered successful, but based on the friendship between you and me, I will give it to you It’s convenient. Now when you buy something on the platform, you can enjoy the benefits of a third-level magician. 5% discount!"
"Thank you, Master Monroe." Raven smiled: "Whenever you come to Eagle Territory, I will definitely entertain you."
I'm afraid of myself. If he continued to talk to Raven, he would be so excited that his blood vessels would burst, so Monroe immediately interrupted the communication.
Leiwen didn't care either, but started his own shopping trip.
I have not been certified before because I was afraid that the speed of my promotion would be too shocking. Now that it has been exposed, I have to do some shopping.
After this period of accumulation, especially the profits brought by the Misty Iron itself, after deducting the funds for various projects, the monthly net income is about 12,000-14,000 gold coins, which is now approaching the 300,000 mark.
Certification as a third-level magician requires 9,000 gold coins.
And Raven wants to consume more than that.
One each of three levels of magic: earth, water, fire, wind, light, and darkness. These alone cost Raven more than 40,000 gold coins, with an average of about 7,000 gold coins per roll.
There is also a new batch of magic plant seeds, mainly green peach seeds. 1,000 seeds cost 7,932.5 gold coins even including the 50% discount.
Finally, Raven also purchased a fifth-level magic raw material, the root of the Tree of Life, which cost a total of 35,704 gold coins!
All in all, a total of 85,915 gold coins were spent!
This brought the deposit on his account down to less than 200,000.
“This 200,000 yuan is a hurdle!” Raven smacked his lips with a bitter look on his face.
But there is no other way, not to buy it.
Although he has mastered a lot of third-level necromancy magic, these are all shady.
It is imperative to purchase and practice third-level magic.
Needless to say, the magic plant seeds have been built. The new factory has been built and the production capacity is slowly increasing. The original two hundred green peach plants are not enough.
The last tree root of life was prepared by Raven for himself.
During the battle with William, Raven discovered that the second-order dragon locust wood staff could no longer keep up with his current needs.
The bonus for third-level magic is limited, and the first-level and second-level magic stored in it are difficult to perform miraculous effects.
In fact, in that battle, the magic stored in the staff itself was not consumed.
If you buy a ready-made third-level staff, there are two problems.
One of them is that it is expensive. A third-level staff costs at least more than 10,000 gold coins, and the quality varies.
There is another problem, that is, Raven's promotion speed is much faster than that of ordinary mages. Once you get this staff, you may have to replace it in less than two years, and then it will cost a lot of money.
In this case, it is better to get it right in one step, buy the raw materials directly, and make a staff by hand.
The fifth-level raw material can withstand up to the fifth-level enchantment. As Raven's own magic power increases and the enchanting technology grows, it can also grow to the fifth level.
While saving a lot of trouble, overall, it actually saves money.
After all, the starting price of a fifth-level staff is more than 80,000 gold coins.
Maybe Raven bought enough and the Magic Guild paid enough attention to it. In just four days, the goods he ordered were delivered.
After extracting the rotten soul essence from the magic plant seeds in batches and cultivating the seedlings, Raven took out the roots of the tree of life.
This tree root does not look like a plant at first glance.
The whole body is gray and several roots as thick as a human arm are mixed together, as if someone has twisted several stone bars together with great force.
It has a hard surface, and even steel cannot leave the slightest trace on it, but the tentacles are very warm. If you gently input magic power, the entire tree root will light up with blue magic light, and the fibers will be coated on it. It shines brightly.
The magical elements in the environment gather together visibly to the naked eye, like a group of fireflies gathering around.
"The conductivity of magic power is so strong, no wonder it is a fifth-level material."
Raven stretched out his hand and stroked its surface, slowly removed the magic power, and took out the enchanting tool.
Get ready to make your own staff.
