Chapter 152 respective preparations
Magic Forest
Tower.
Friday afternoon is an open class for Wizard Daniel, which mainly talks about the theoretical knowledge of building a wizard tower.
“The Wizard Tower is an epoch-making product along with the meditation method.”
"Before there was a wizard tower, wizards could only play an assisting and decapitating role on the battlefield."
"With the wizard tower, every wizard is equivalent to a war fortress. Play a decisive role."
Daniel is still wearing a pure white wizard robe and speaks loudly. The tone was rare and passionate:
“In the wizard tower, the wizard can explode with strength far beyond the normal state, and is not afraid of the charge of the army.”
“In addition, the wizard can communicate with the star realm. , connecting to the earth, the wizard really came to the forefront during the War of the Gods.”
"Of course, it is not easy to build a wizard tower. The most basic Eye of Insight requires tens of thousands of magic stones."
"Today we will introduce the Eye of Insight. Without it, the Wizard Tower will be blind. , and the piercing eye is also the second-ring witchcraft that is most accessible to all wizards and even wizard apprentices."
"..."
"Dingling bell..."
The bell rings.
Daniel paused while explaining, waved his staff gently, and the lesson plan folded up on its own.
"Those who want to go to the temporary market must gather downstairs. Those who don't want to go can go back."
"Yes!"
"Goodbye, Wizard Daniel!"
“……”
All the apprentices and wizards who were listening to the class stood up, saluted, said goodbye and left, while some gathered together to discuss something.
"Karl."
Omar didn't wear a wizard hat today, and his long blond hair was casually hanging around his back. He came closer and asked:
"You want to go too? Market?”
“Yeah.” Karl said bitterly:
"There are not enough magic stones..."
There are indeed not many.
He carefully counted his supplies in the past few days, and there were only a pitiful seven magic stones left.
Beast pills, magic items, potions, etc. are also almost exhausted.
There are only a bunch of talismans for practicing.
Whether you are going to another world to purchase supplies or raising materials to build a wizard tower, you need magic stones.
Besides, this temporary market is jointly held by several major forces. There are many good things, so of course you can’t miss it.
“Me too.”
Omar nodded:
“Fortunately, I still have some inventory on hand. I hope to find a suitable buyer at the market this time. ”
"Alas!"
"It would be great if I had as profound knowledge as Wizard Daniel. I wouldn't have to worry about magic stones just giving lectures."
"It's different." Karl shook his head:
“Daniel Wizard’s classes are open classes, Not only the disciples of the Tower, but also people who have a good relationship with the Tower can come. The more people who attend the class, the more Magic Stones they will earn. Other wizards are reluctant to start the class. "
If it is just to give lectures to the disciples of the Tower. , I don’t earn many magic stones, and I have to waste time practicing.
If it weren't for the high tower's mandatory requirements for veteran wizards, few would be willing to start classes.
It is not easy to hold open classes.
Among the wizards in the tower, only Daniel has this qualification.
“Omar.”
The wizard Daniel who came down from upstairs glanced at everyone, his eyes stopped on Omar, and he said:
"Your mentor Bella has already gone to the market in advance. You can follow me later, and everyone else can come over."
"Yes."
Omar should be.
Others followed to the square outside the tower.
Daniel took out something from his body and threw it to the ground. As white smoke rose, a luxurious car appeared on the scene.
The body made of mahogany is covered with luxurious gold foil in many places, and a faint golden light flows in the sun, showing nobility and majesty.
The gems on the shafts and the complex carvings on the body are not just for decoration, but also for blessing some kind of witchcraft.
The cart was not pulled by horses,
but by four goats with sharp horns.
Lingyang Carriage - a specially constructed creature of the six-ring tower, with mid-level first-level defense.
Daniel came to the car and patted the car. With a harsh sound, the car slowly stretched toward the rear.
Not long after.
The original two cars have been transformed into train-like carriages, each of which can seat two people side by side.
“Get in the car!”
Karl and Omar got into a carriage.
Accompanied by the goat's bleating sound, this special train rose into the sky and flew into the distance.
…………
The temporary market is jointly organized by Gaota and several major families, and the location is set at the former Mulan Market.
The family that ruled Mulan Market was destroyed by the beast tide, and the market was in ruins, but the people in the market did not die.
There are still many people struggling to survive.
The reason why we chose to hold a temporary fair here is to attract wizards from all over the place to drive out the aliens gathered here and facilitate subsequent reconstruction.
Since it is a temporary market, there are naturally no regulations like a formal market. Daniel especially warned not to wander around and pay attention to safety.
The Enchanted Forest has always had wizards who take risks for the sake of profit.
New here.
Karl followed the crowd obediently and observed the environment of the market. He worked at sunrise and rested for several days in a row.
Five days later.
Evening,
The night is hazy.
The rugged road is full of mud, with overgrown branches and abandoned houses, seriously obstructing the view.
Karl put on a knight's attire, with a ghost-headed mask on his face, a broad sword hanging from his waist, and a sharp aura on his body. You could tell at a glance that he was a battle-hardened warrior.
His appearance under the mask has also changed somewhat, and even his breath and mental fluctuations are different from before.
Even a second-level wizard might not be able to see through his cover.
After several days of his observation, the people following the tower became familiar with the environment, and finally began to act alone this time.
Many of the things in his hands are not easy to see in the light. If he wants to realize them, he must do it secretly.
Further forward, you will find the former residential area of Mulan Market.
Low wooden houses were rebuilt on the ruins, and some people could be seen rummaging through the ruins.
Clothes, bowls, pots, weapons and other useful things will be put away.
The corpses and other useless things were thrown aside.
The stinky corpses piled up on the roadside attracted many scavenging insects and filled the air with a stench.
People here have become accustomed to this, and even some fresh flesh and blood are secretly hidden.
Eat human flesh!
There will always be people who can't help it when they have no other choice.
Along the way, Karl's expression remained unchanged. He had seen too many tragic scenes, and his mood was as calm as ever.
Crossing the residential area, the muddy ground turned into stone slabs, and the houses on both sides gradually became newer and taller.
This is a newly built trade area.
Temporary shops opened by several big families such as Gaota are here, but Karl's goal is still ahead.
Under night.
There are many vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the road, selling all kinds of strange and different products.
Some sell food such as rice, fish and meat, some sell swords, spears and other weapons, and some sell various witchcraft materials and magical items.
In addition to the stalls, there were also some tents scattered among them. Karl opened the door curtain directly and entered one of them.
The tent doesn't look big from the outside. It can be fully packed with three people sitting cross-legged. Once inside, the space suddenly becomes spacious, covering more than ten square meters.
Space wizardry!
This type of witchcraft can only be mastered by existences of level two or above, but some special instruments also have similar means.
For example, the pendant on Carl’s body.
“Welcome!”
In the spacious space, a female wizard holding a crystal ball sat cross-legged in the middle and greeted with a smile:
"What do you want to buy, sir? Or... what do you want to sell?"
"Change !" Karl spoke concisely, took out the staff and wizard's robe that he got from Marianne, and put them in front of him:
"Change to a protective inherited witchcraft."
His mental progress is slow now, and the construction of the third witchcraft, Thunder Wings, has not been completed. Plants and life-system methods, these two things are not very effective in his hands.
The key is not to see the light.
It would be better to replace it with something useful.
"Life robe, complete set of staffs." The female wizard touched the thing in front of her and smiled: "This style of robe should come from a certain woman, right?"
< br>
“Of course, I don’t ask about the origin of things.”
"Protective inherited witchcraft..."
"There are two pieces."
She turned over with one hand, and two things appeared in front of her.
A talisman and a bracelet.
“The energy talisman, a first-level low-grade inherited witchcraft, can release an energy field, which can greatly weaken physical and witchcraft attacks, but is of little use against shadow and nightmare witchcraft.”< br>
"The first-order top-grade inherited witchcraft - the six-square bracelet, can release the six-sided crystal defensive witchcraft, and can resist the witchcraft of the late first-order. However, this piece is a defective item and may be scrapped after not being used for many times, but it After all, it is a first-class inherited magic weapon. If you want to replace it, you need to add a thousand magic stones."
As expected!
The thing is still in her hand.
Karl's heart moved, but his voice was a little unhappy:
"Both of your two inherited witchcraft artifacts are obviously damaged, especially the six-square bracelet. Not to mention how many times you have used it, I'm afraid it will be damaged. It will be destroyed after one use!”
"Your Majesty." The female wizard smiled and shook her head:
"Even if they are damaged, they are inherited witchcraft. No matter how good the things you bring are, they are only high-level magic items."
"High-end magic items are just grades and do not represent their true value." Karl shook his head:
“My two items are complete sets of demonized items, and the materials are of the best quality. However, the refining method is not very clever, and the value is no worse than the first-order low-grade inherited witchcraft.”
"That's just what you think, guest sir." The female wizard was not angry, she shook her head and said:
"The same potion, even if the effect is exactly the same, will be more expensive if it comes from a senior alchemist than from an ordinary stall. This is the blessing of fame."
"The difference between magical items and inherited witchcraft is different for others. Once you hear it, you will know which one is better "It's valuable."
"Not to mention..."
She leaned forward and said with a smile:
"It's the same for us to deal with things of unknown origin in the hands of guest officers. It takes a certain amount of risk.”
"..." Karl pursed his lips:
"The energy talisman, plus an additional hundred magic stones, this is my bottom line, if possible, the deal will be done!"
?
The female wizard's beautiful eyes turned, and her gaze fell from Karl to the life robe and staff in front of her.
She knows very well how tempting this set of magical items is to life-based wizards. She needs to replace it with a damaged inherited witchcraft...
Some make money!
After thinking about it, she nodded slowly:
"Deal."
"Okay." Karl breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face:
“Do you have any Ruyi Mud here?”
"It is estimated that this second-level material will not be available until the auction in half a month." The female wizard shook her head.
The transaction was completed and watching Karl leave, the female wizard was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked:
"What do you think?"
"There is something wrong with this person." Corner Inside, a cold voice sounded:
"He is obviously dressed as a knight, but all the things being traded can only be used by wizards. There should be an official wizard behind him."
"Oh!" The female wizard raised her eyebrows:
"How come you didn't suspect that he was a wizard himself, just dressing up as a knight to deceive us?"
"Humph!" The voice was cold. Hum:
“The fighting spirit in his body is so strong that I can hardly breathe, which proves that he is a legendary knight, and he is also a very powerful one. This cannot be false.”
"Really?" the female wizard thought thoughtfully:
"Then do you want..."
She gestured.
"It's best not to." The shadow in the corner shook:
"A wizard who can control such a legendary knight is definitely not a good person. There is no need to get into trouble for a damaged inherited witchcraft. "
"The market has just opened, and there will be more wizards coming later, and there are plenty of opportunities and targets."
"That's right." The female wizard nodded and quietly put away the means she wanted to use.
Outside the tent, Karl could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he noticed that the aura lingering on his body had disappeared.
He knew it wasn't very safe here, but he didn't expect that he would almost be targeted the first time he came here.
Fortunately, the goal has been achieved.
Touching the energy amulet in his arms, a sense of security came to his mind. He pursed his lips and continued to move forward.
An hour later.
Karl appeared at the ax sword magic shop opened by the Secret Order.
The reason why he chose this place was, firstly, because the things he needed were sold here, and secondly, because the Secret Order, as one of the four major forces in Kalim Continent, had higher prices than the items sold at the stalls outside. Guarantee, even if it’s a little more expensive, it’s worth it.
And it is the Big Four after all. Although there are scum like Lance, it is still relatively safer.
“Sir, what do you need?”
Entering the store, a dwarf with a height of just over half a meter and round eyes greeted him.
It is said that many wizards in the Secret Order are skilled in blood witchcraft and are used to hiring foreigners to work. This seems to be true.
Karl's thoughts turned and he asked:
"I want the first-order sigil."
"The first-order sigil." The dwarf blinked:< br>
"Sir, please go to the second floor."
The sales clerks on the second floor are also dwarves, but they are female dwarves, all wearing heavy makeup.
But I think those who can adapt to the aesthetics of dwarves should be in the minority.
"My guest."
A female dwarf with a big flower on her head trotted to Karl and handed a catalog full of words.
"These are the first-level talismans we are selling. Most of them are not in stock. We need to wait."
Karl nodded.
As the person in charge of the High Tower Pharmacy, he is very familiar with this system. Most of the talismans sold by the Secret Order are also refined by outsiders.
My eyes scanned the catalog and paused on one of the items.
"If the magic stones are not enough, can you exchange things for things? I also refined some talismans."
"Of course."
The dwarf nodded:
"But we need to charge a certain fee. Sir, you must understand that running a store has various expenses."
"For the same talisman, twenty additional magic stones are needed to exchange goods for goods. If they are different, our wizards will be able to distinguish them."
"Yes." Karl felt relieved and said:
"I want the first-level middle-grade void tentacle sigil!"
Void tentacle!
One-ring control witchcraft.
It can imprison individuals within a hundred meters in an instant, exert powerful force to prevent the movement of the target, and add negative effects such as weakness and slowness.
The continuous fireball is very powerful, but the speed is too slow. It is very convenient to use it against huge legendary creatures, but it is not very convenient if the target is a small and flexible legendary knight or wizard.
If you want to hit the target, you must restrict the opponent's movement.
"Your Majesty." The dwarf said hurriedly:
"The void tentacle talisman is a special talisman, and its value is three times that of the ordinary first-order mid-grade talisman."
“We only have one in stock in our store now.”
“It doesn’t matter!” Karl nodded and took out four first-order mid-grade continuous fireball sigils from the storage space:
"Four for one, is that enough?"
"Enough, enough!" The dwarf's eyes lit up:
"I'll get it for you right now."
< br>Karl nodded, a flash of physical pain in his eyes.
These four first-level mid-grade talismans were accumulated by him after refining them for a long time, and they were gone in the blink of an eye.
‘It’s a pity that even the shops of the Secret Order almost don’t have first-class high-grade talismans, otherwise I would have to buy one anyway. ’
‘With the talisman and seal in hand, it’s time to go back to find Nalev. ’
‘No! ’
‘Before that, let’s exchange the talisman for something. ’
…………
Another world.
Dark Bazaar.
Leif, the church deacon who was missed by Karl, was kneeling on one knee to welcome a guest from afar.
“Seven Elders.”
Leif raised his head with a fanatical look on his face:
"I have found the location of the guardian."
"Yes." The seventh elder took off the round hat on his head, nodded and said:
"You did a good job. In the task of discovering your companions, After the failure, he did not take action rashly, but sent a message for help. This is not cowardice, but prudence."
"Yes." Lev lowered his head:
"I suspect that the guardian has been bewitched by the evil god and has betrayed the goddess. The evidence is that he has been unwilling to go to the temple, and even collected relevant information in Rapid City. News about the evil god, and the black sword Miria also appeared nearby.”
"With the strength of Boken and the six blasphemous ancient beasts, only he and Black Sword can win."
"Black Sword..." The seventh elder asked thoughtfully:< br>
“Has the Guardian advanced to Legend?”
“It should be.” Lev nodded:
“From the investigation in Rapid City, Guardian Karl’s The strength is obviously stronger than that of the peak knight.”
"However, he did not display any holy skills. Instead, he seemed to have several super-grade seals on his body."
"Legend!" The Seventh Elder lowered his eyebrows:
"The goddess prefers him so much? ”
As an elder of the temple, he knows very well the difference between practicing the giant spirit breathing method and relying on this breathing method to advance to legend.
The former,
All it takes is an encouragement from the goddess.
The latter,
requires God to allocate power to send down gifts!
For hundreds of years, God has never given gifts to people in the church. Why is he so partial to an outsider?
Is it possible that the goddess is confused?
Blasphemy!
Don’t think like that!
The seventh elder took a deep breath, stabilized his fluctuating emotions, and focused his eyes.
‘It doesn’t matter even if the guardian becomes a legendary knight. The holy skill I master happens to restrain the giant spirit breathing method. ’
