Chapter 217 70. "Sequel"
"Our wisdom is the most advantageous weapon. We know to use fire to drive away cold, to use houses to resist wild beasts, to use tools to thrive, to use armor to block swords..."< br>
"Is this why you asked me to go with you to find the elf mentor?" Michael looked at Annan speechlessly and talked since he came in.
“I’m not asking for trouble.”
Annan looked coldly at Michael who was about to walk away: “If you don’t help me, don’t let me help you anymore. Research!”
...
Knock knock knock——
After more than ten days, Annan knocked on the oak door of Teacher Yi Ruilanze again. And the elf mentor who identified the person from the rhythm of knocking on the door gave Annan a firm hug.
Annan raised his hand with difficulty and raised his index finger towards Michael.
“Teacher Yiruilanze, Annan and I have something important to do with you.”
"What's the matter?"
"Uh... I'd better let Annan tell you." Michael, who could smash the skull of a rat man without changing his expression, seemed like a quail at this moment.
The elf mentor let go of Annan, and gasped with his cheeks flushed from boredom or shyness: "Don't tighten me like this next time..."
"But little Annan is too cute. I can't help it."
"...I'm making a magic item called the 'Magic Newspaper'..." Unable to resist, Annan had to get down to business and put the name of the 'Magic Newspaper' The form tells the Elf Tutor, and the most important part: cheap and mass-produced.
"The cheapest magic prop is the 'Troublemaker' Fright Festival magic gift box from the Principality of Keating in 935. When you open the gift, a pre-made illusion of deception will appear. A deceptionist can make hundreds of copies a day, and the cost is only 100% of the stored magic power." A pinch of magic crystal powder."
"But you don't need to find a trickster. I can help you build a mage model."
"How much does it cost if I give you 500 gold coins first? ?”
“My little Annan, don’t underestimate the wealth of a fifteen hundred-year-old elf.” The elf mentor doesn’t need Annan’s money, she poked her finger on Annan’s cheek. As long as we get married, those things will belong to you."
If the elf mentor said this before going to Betar City, Annan would indeed be unable to resist... But now, he will only say: "I am not old enough for marriage. The family still needs to make the decision..."
The new magic made the elf mentor more rational and less emotional. She did not force Annan to be ravaged, but she hoped to bring Della over. She was very curious about the transformation of the half-elf born from the elf and the ratman into a pure elf. .
"I will tell her when I get back."
Returning to Michael's alchemy room without any danger, Annan fulfilled his reward for the rescue: "I will have someone send it to her later. One hundred gold coins."
Michael rinsed the crucible, poured some tea leaves and herbs into it, and started cooking the tea: "The sulfur consumption is too much, but the answer should not be far away."
“So it’s time for you to tell me what it is?”
"I can only say that gunpowder can give an ordinary person the destructive power of a mage."
In fact, Annan has always guessed that it may have become popular in the south, otherwise there is no way to explain that human beings who are still fighting among themselves all day long can actually Defend against the Skaven.
"I don't believe it..."
"Three months ago we didn't believe that the gods would lose contact." Michael fell into deep thought: "I hope I won't become the mage's sinner..."
Excitement - Mages are such a group, they use knowledge as the fulcrum to leverage the power of taboos.
There are countless mages in history who fell into the abyss due to deviations, and Olmedo's father can be counted among them - an epic mage is not so easy to be contaminated by the Curse of the Rat Man...
However, Thanks to the remoteness of the northern border, Annan doesn't have that many enemies, and he doesn't need to seize territory. The large forest has yet to be developed. He can slowly develop Xingyue Bay, and he only needs to be careful of the rat men who have not yet shown their traces.
Rejecting Michael's invitation for tea, Annan returned to the hall along the stairs, and happened to meet Olmedo who came to the Master Tower to study.
“Where are you going?”
Annan blurted out: "Into your heart."
"King of the North, please respect yourself."
Stop to chat with Olmedo for a few words, Annan left the mage tower and covered himself first. Take a walk around the streets of Breeze City.
There are not many refugees in Breeze City this year, and Xingyue Bay has helped absorb some of them. The tax revenue from the magic image has allowed the city lord's palace to have money to accommodate them. In Betar City, no one cares about their life or death.
While wandering around, Annan also met merchants selling magical images. They claimed to be the second part of "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower" and "Betal's Redemption": "The Romance of the Wizard's Tower" and "Betal's Happiness" .
After Annan saw the two scavengers sneaking away with the magic stone in their hands, Annan also came over with his cloak covered. Rental services are also provided here, with a deposit of 50 gold, and each use costs "only" hardware.
Annan rented two magic stones and drove out of Breeze City. Instead of returning to Xingyue Bay, he headed for the Haunted Gold Mine.
It’s time for Annan to take Lan Long home.
In terms of strength, Ilimayas is a master and will become an epic, legendary, or even a demigod in the future. In terms of power, all dragon clans attach the most importance to family values, which means that Annan will take Ilimayas back to Xingyue Bay. Her brothers and sisters will know it, and her parents and ancestors will also know it.
On the way to the haunted gold mine, Annan hid in the carriage and secretly watched "Love in the Master's Tower". What surprised him was that they actually built a mage tower, although it was simpler than the prototype in Xingyue Bay, and they also brought in rat men and girls, but what happened next made Annan, a warlock, call it blasphemy.
"Misgram!"
If the grumpy tower master sees this, he will use Legilis to split the souls of all the people in two, and stuff one part into the girl's body. Body, a portion is stuffed into the guest's body.
Compared with the roughness of "Mage Tower Romance", "Betal's Happiness" invested a lot of energy in the plot and scale. For example, the plot is that "Andy" is imprisoned, and the prison turns from the warden to the From the jailers to the prisoners, they are all women... and they really hired foreigners.
This magical image just proves that the world's prejudice against warlocks is wrong - look, there are also many people who want to see centaurs and female orcs!
In any case, this kind of thing was too early for Annan now, so he only read it once and put it away. The next day, the carriage drove past Pinglin Town and went straight to the Haunted Gold Mine.
After learning that ghosts were wandering around in their new home, and skeletons breaking off their ribs and throwing them to each other, Annan looked at the Gilded Mountain and thoughtfully said: "These things are difficult to clean. Do you want me to help you clean them up?"
The Dragon Photographed The claws stirred up dust, blocking Annan and the Gilded Mountain. In the rising sand, the blue dragon collected treasures, tearing apart the dust covering Annan, revealing the blue dragon's graceful lines and broad back.
Annan stared blankly at the beautiful blue dragon and its back: "I can ride..."
"You are insulting the dignity of the dragon clan!" The blue dragon opened its wings, and the shadow It seems like it blocks out the sky and the sun.
