Chapter 74 Advance of Remuneration
Another week passed, and with the digestion of the last potion in the body, the girls began a new round of upgrades.
Novo and Medea took the "Mind II" potion from the mutation in the town of Luenfeld at the same time, and were promoted to lv.4 and lv.6 respectively.
"Mind II", as an enhanced version of "Mind I", can be used to read minds at a longer distance, and to activate mind control without looking directly into the opponent's eyes. It's just that if you don't have a direct gaze, it will take longer before the control is complete.
In addition, "Mind II" also adds several new abilities, including "Implant Thoughts" that can make the opponent feel the urge to do something unconsciously, and "Psychological Blind Spot", which makes the opponent subconsciously ignore themselves, which is a mage's life-saving skill on the battlefield.
More capabilities need to be further explored and developed.
Sidley took "Frost II" and upgraded her level to Lv.6. Compared to Frost I, she can now generate a lower chill, not only attaching to weapons, but also spreading to a distance of two meters around her, affecting enemies in close proximity.
The ability derived from this is "rapid freezing", which can quickly drop the touched object to minus 25 degrees through direct body touch, resulting in rapid frostbite.
Of course, due to her own lack of spiritual strength, she was not able to condense an ultra-low temperature ice spell and throw it like a frost mage did for the time being.
And Sheila, the real arcane mage, recently took the "Storm II" and was promoted to lv.6.
Storm II gives her the ability to manipulate a wider area of air pressure, as well as more refined manipulation. Not only can she produce hurricanes in a straight direction, but she can also generate spinning tornadoes. She can condense air into a needle shape with pressure, stab directly into the opponent's body and explode, or create an area of progressive ultra-low air pressure that forcibly sucks all nearby enemies in.
Compared to Sidlifa, Sheila, who has more mental power, can play more tricks in the storm sequence. The so-called mage must not only rely on logical thinking, but also imagination is also very important.
Mi'er is unable to take "Luck II" for the time being due to the residual "Luck I" in her body, so far there are 1 Lv.7, 3 Lv.6, 3 Lv.5, 1 Lv.4, and 1 Lv.3.
With the exception of Mi'er and Sidlifa, there are no potions for the follow-up upgrades of the rest of the people, and this work needs to be carried out urgently as soon as possible.
After listening to Nuo's report, Asker also felt quite a headache about the potions, so he could only find Eleanor and ask, "Can you ask your father to advance a part of the task reward to us in advance?" ”
Eleanor was embarrassed: "It's not good......"
"What's so bad about that?" Asker tried to persuade, "Anyway, we definitely won't be reluctant, the task will be completed sooner or later, can't we advance a part of the remuneration first?" You Weissbach family must have a warehouse of extraordinary materials, right? Are there any finished potions? Are there any girls on our team who can use them? ”
"I don't know." Eleanor couldn't help but laugh, "I'll have to ask my father about this." ”
"Why don't you ask?" Asker said.
"The problem is, I have confidence in our strength, but my father doesn't know!" Eleanor spread her hands to express helplessness, "Even he entrusted us with this task, relying on the guarantee of His Excellency Apperius, not for my sake!" ”
"Sheila?" Asker turned his head and said, "Anyway, your grandfather also vouched, so let him say something nice again, is it okay to ask Eleanor's father to pay in advance?" ”
"This ......" Sheila didn't expect this topic, why did she turn to her all of a sudden, "It's not appropriate, right?" The Weissbach family's extraordinary material warehouse is probably not something that the Duke can decide alone, so maybe they have to ask their family demigods for their opinions. ”
"Now that we haven't done any merit, we have to pay people in advance, even Eleanor's father didn't have anything to convince the family demigods, right?"
"How can there be no merit?" Asker retorted, "Didn't we help them win that knight fight?" ”
"That's just as well." Sheila changed her tone and said, "But the value of a knightly victory is probably not comparable to that of a Tier II potion. ”
"Then as long as there is something of equal value, you can let the Duke make a deal with the demigods, right?" Asker mused, "No! ”
"Huh?" Noe looked up.
"Borrow some money." Aske said, "Mortgage it on Eleanor and her father, and then get a few potions out in advance." When we complete the task, we will get the money back and pay you back. ”
Promise:???
"It's okay to borrow money." Nuo frowned, "How much do you want to borrow?" ”
"Borrow a few million marks for emergencies." Asker said.
The girls fell one after another. Commander, is this too much pressure and crazy? As soon as I opened my mouth, I asked people for a few million marks, and I didn't care if I could take it out or not!
Sure enough, Nuo showed an embarrassed expression, and thought for a while before saying:
"Well, I don't have that much money on me, though. Do the Weissbach family accept bank transfers? If you have to pay for cash, can you have someone bring it over by helicopter? ”
Burst! Everyone almost sprayed, but this girl can really take it!
"Our family has a bank account in Venis...... "Eleanor just said subconsciously, and suddenly reacted, what is this! How did it get to borrowing money!
"That's not the problem!" "The question is whether a few million can be exchanged for potions!" ”
"A vial of Class II potion is only tens of thousands of pounds at most, and it is about the same as multiplying the exchange rate by two in marks. The problem is that there are very few Class II potions in circulation, so the prices are often very different, and many sellers simply don't need money and directly specify the same level of formulas, materials, or potions in exchange. Medea reminded, "Even if your side is willing to buy it at a premium, the Weissbach family may not be willing to sell it, right?" After all, they are not short of money. ”
"You Weissbachers are too stingy." Asker said, "When we came to the aid of Olympia, Sheila's grandfather gave out 6 bottles of Class II potions and 2 bottles of Class I potions! ”
"I apologize to you for my family." Eleanor burst into tears, and that wasn't something she could decide.
"In that case." Aske said, "Then it's okay to sponsor two power armors in advance as a reward for winning this knight's fight, right?" You have one, Sidlifa has one, as long as you get the advantage of equipment, then this high-risk mission will be much easier. ”
"This should work." Eleanor was relieved and hurriedly said, "I'm going to talk to my father." ”
Watching Eleanor disappear into the Hearthfire Island, Sheila suddenly spoke:
"So, in order to get people to agree to open the windows, you have to pretend to offer to tear down the entire roof?"
"Wow!" The girls suddenly exclaimed, "So your purpose in the first place was just to want power armor?" The head of the regiment is really cunning! ”
