Chapter 36: The Role of the Ring
Chongyang's heart moved, but on the surface, he still touched his chin and remained silent, carefully observing Hoso's expression.
Horso's expression was a little gloomy, and it seemed that he was indeed hit by Chongyang's words. He didn't expect that his self-imposed challenge would hurt Miss Helen, whom he sincerely admired, in the first place.
This dragon's blood ring, in his mind, was intended for Miss Helen, and now he took it out to make a bet, and he made a lot of determination.
In terms of value, this ring that has been handed down for too long is not very high, but this kind of treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation in the family is far more important to him than a prop that can assist in the cultivation of magic power.
It's the limit to be able to come up with this.
"Okay. β
Chongyang agreed, and his tone was indifferent.
"For the sake of your determination, I'll take the bet. With your heirloom ring, bet on my position as Grand Chief. β
Hoso, who was staring at the ring, was awakened by Chongyang's words and nodded.
The two then decided on the time, the venue, and the referee...... Hawso then withdrew from the Grand Commissioner's office.
Chongyang got up from his seat, entered the temporary bedroom next door, and closed the door.
"Firedemon, come out and explain. β
Blazing flames condensed below the ceiling.
"What kind of hidden treasure is that ring?" Chongyang asked with interest. With his knowledge, he couldn't see anything special about that dragon blood ring at all. It may have been a very valuable treasure a hundred years ago, but now, judging by the fluctuations in mana it sensed, it was almost consumed.
"As the little guy said, it is an energy crystal ring, because it has been used for a long time, the power contained in the crystal has been reduced to a relatively small level. "However, it happens to be valuable to you. β
"To me?" Chongyang wondered.
"That's right, the so-called dragon blood crystal, just look at the color, it contains elemental energy that is biased towards the fire attribute. It is more effective for fire mages than for other types of mages. β
"That's it......" Chongyang was suddenly a little disappointed. Because the fire demon said "must", he thought that it was a treasure with a particularly high hidden value, and the gap between expectations was too big.
"Dumb disciple, I haven't finished my words yet. The Flame Demon Monster smiled and continued, "If you just hand over that ring to your hand, at most it will increase your cultivation speed a little. But if you give me the ring, I can quickly extract the remaining elemental energy contained in it and infuse it into your body, increasing your magic level in a very short time. β
"What? A very short time refers to ......" Chongyang was stunned.
"Your current mana level is very low, and even if the residual energy of the crystal is relatively small, it is still relatively large for you. If I instill it all into you, it will at least allow you to advance to a level six overnight, reaching the level of a sixth-level magician!" said the Flame Demon proudly.
Level 6 Magician...... Overnight!??
Chongyang was completely stunned.
"That's it...... Is it possible?" he swallowed. At the level of a sixth-level magician, with his current cultivation progress, it would be at least a few months later. However, according to the fire demon, as long as he got that ring, it would only take one night, not even a day!
"The upgrade of a basic mage is to increase the magic power and activate the elemental channel. With the energy crystal, there is a pure nature of fire magic. And I, too, am a great healer who can cure your elemental channel magic defects with some extremely cheap medicinal materials!" said the Flame Demon with great pride.
It seems that inherently does not understand what modesty is.
However, in the current Chongyang, the Flame Demon does have the capital to be proud of everyone else. A more powerful and incredible existence than the Fire Demon, he really hadn't seen it.
At least, Chongyang had never heard of any strong person who could refine the magic power in the energy crystal and instill it into people to improve the level of a magician!
If that's the case, all the stronger family forces don't need to be cultivated hard by the juniors, as long as they find the energy crystal, a few geniuses will be born......
......
Ah, no, it's a dizzying possibility, it's so rebellious! What the hell are you, Firedemon!
The more Chongyang thought about it, the more frightened his expression became, which seemed to make the fire demon very useful.
Worship me, fear me, and believe in me!
He exuded such an aura all over his body.
After fully embodying the power in the eyes of the disciples, the fire demon had to add another fire.
"After instilling the magic power, the ring that has lost all its energy, I can also manage to transform it into a 'magic storage ring'. β
"Demon Ring !!" Chongyang's nerves were so shocked that he was numb.
The legendary magic ring is a prop that can store the magic power of the magician in normal times and be drawn by the magician when needed.
It sounds like a simple function, but in reality, a Reservoir Ring is equivalent to an "instant healing potion" that can be reused an infinite number of times. And the lowest-grade "Instant Magic Healing Elixir" is a nine-grade rare potion that can only be produced by a realm-level pharmacist!
What has been the most feared thing for magicians since ancient times?
Once the magic power is exhausted, the magician is nothing, and any strong samurai can be killed, which can be called the saddest end.
At best, the average "magic potion will only increase the speed at which the mage can regain his manaβnote that it's "speed" rather than "magic power". No matter how good the "magic potion is", it will take time to recover the magic power. Only by reducing the recovery time to the point where it is infinitely close to zero can it qualify for an "instant healing potion".
A bottle of "Instant Healing Potion", at a critical moment, is a priceless treasure for the magician to save his life, save his life, and even reverse the situation. No force would be stupid enough to put up for auction the "Instant Healing Elixir" that had cost a lot of Demonic Beast Crystal Nuclei and had been painstakingly refined and manufactured by a high-level apothecary, unless it really reached the point of exhaustion.
The value of the "Instant Healing Potion" is so high, how perverted is the value of the "Demon Storage Ring" that can be used again and again without the need for expensive materials and valuable manpower...... Just imagine it.
Flame Demon can make the Ring of Storage...... For the first time at this time, Chongyang felt that this strange elemental spirit was not a demon, but an angel and a god......
Ah, no, it's too bad. Chongyang shook his head.
Come, come and worship me!
In front of Chongyang, the flame demon's momentum was further enhanced, and the faces in the flames were vaguely arrogant.
Chongyang tried to calm down, let out a long sigh of relief, and faced the flame demon.
"In the future, I must cultivate to the realm where I can summon and dominate you. β
Excellent ambition - but it stimulated the fire demon to almost vomit blood...... No, he doesn't have blood, then it should be a rampage.
"Don't be too arrogant!"
......
It seems that this strange master and apprentice are becoming more and more similar to each other. As for who looks like whom, that's hard to say.
After the fire demon disappeared, Chongyang sorted out his mood, left the bedroom with a calm expression, and saw Helen waiting in the office.
"Mr. Chongyang......" Helen said with some embarrassment, some worried.
"Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you, it's between me and Director Hawso. Chongyang smiled at her.
"You...... Aren't you angry?" asked Helen, who calmed down a little, and then asked with some embarrassment.
"Angry? Of course angry. Chongyang sat back in his seat.
Helen was anxious when she heard this, and was about to apologize, but Chongyang continued.
"That Horso is too stupid, how about being young and promising? It's not because he was impulsive that he was used as a gunman! Hmph, saying such rude words in public cannot be easily forgiven, even if it is not his intention. Chongyang looked serious and said a little coldly.
"Uh...... Are you mad at Hoso?"
"Hmm, of course. Chongyang looked at Helen, "Otherwise, who am I angry with?"
"No...... There is no ......" Helen's heart warmed, and her heart completely settled.
He wasn't mad at himself...... That's great. Come to think of it, he's not that kind of person, but a very considerate and gentlemanly person......
Helen's face slowly flushed, and her eyes shimmered.
"This matter is not simple, there must be someone behind Hosso who is inciting him, so you can't just duel with Hosso and end it, you must also find out the sinister guy behind the scenes, otherwise it will be endless. Chongyang continued, "Miss Helen...... Can you help me?"
"Well, of course!" Helen nodded heavily. Facing Chongyang's smile, she secretly decided in her heart that she definitely wanted the mastermind behind Chongyang who dared to provoke this matter and plot against Chongyang to have enough color to see!
Just as terrible as a woman's resentment is a woman's determination for love......
......
The next day was the day of the duel.
Once again, I came to the dueling arena of the Magic Guild, this time not as a spectator, but in person. The gap between before and after can't help but make Chongyang sigh a few words.
In particular, the reason for the duel is almost exactly the same as last time.
Chongyang remembered what Zhuoyang had said at the beginning: "This is the dignity of a man, maybe one day, you will be like this." "I didn't expect it to come true so soon.
He glanced at Helen, who was standing on the side of his field, although he was not in a romantic relationship with her, but fighting a duel in order not to leave her side was actually an acceptable reason. For Helen was the only one in the Society, with the exception of Elder Richard, who was kind to him.
As for the Firefiend, that guy isn't human.
Hawso was also on the field quickly. His expression was very nervous, but there was an extremely determined look in his eyes, which was a little different from the feeling he had yesterday.
He also looked at Helen for a while, and his young face showed a slight color of heat, expectation, and longing, which was the color of a man to a woman.
Chongyang felt a subtle unhappiness in his heart, his eyes narrowed, and a dangerous cold light shot out.
