Chapter 036: The Principle of Enchantment
Gauldos came to the Turin branch of the Mage's Guild and went straight to the old woman who had received him: Erin.
Looking at the ears of the three packs of goblins in front of her, Erin's expression couldn't help but be a little unnatural.
There are more than 100 pairs of bloody ears in front of me, and they are not counted with ordinary goblin ears, all of them are high-level goblins.
This task was completed very beautifully, and the ears paid exceeded the conditions for the completion of the task in terms of quantity and quality, and it can be said that it was greatly overfulfilled.
"Young man, I remember you once cast the 'Bone Guardian' spell in the detection area, and I can tell that one of the classes you work for is probably a necromancer. Necromancers, as powerful as they are, shouldn't have such slaughter efficiency... May I ask you about your main occupation? ”
Listening to Erin's words, Gao Duos said lightly: "No comment. ”
Erin shook her head lightly and said, "The Mage Guild respects the privacy of every mage, but after you submit this task, you will become one of us. The more complete the information you provide, the smoother your path to the Mage Guild will be in the future, and if you are strong enough, you can even be in a high position in the guild. After all, the person who can enter the management of the guild must not be from an unknown origin. ”
Gaudus shook his head, still refusing.
"Respect your choice." Erin smiled, clapped her hands, and a few of the apprentices came over and cleaned up their ears.
Erin continued: "The quality and quantity of those ears have far exceeded the requirements for the completion of that task. I suggest that you now receive the two follow-up quests for [Destroy the Goblins], as long as you accept them, they will be completed. ”
Gao Duosi immediately looked at the task bar, and sure enough, behind the [Exterminate Goblins] mission notice, there were two more mission notices, which were [Exterminate Goblins. Follow-up I] and [Exterminate the Goblins. Follow-up II]. These two quests are conditional on [Cutting off 10 high-level goblins' ears] and [Cutting off 30 high-level goblin ears], respectively.
After going through the contents of the quest and making sure that what Erin said was correct, he took down the two quest notices and handed them to Erin along with the mission notice for [Destroy the Goblins].
You have accepted a mission: to destroy the goblins. Follow-up I. 】
You have accepted a mission: to destroy the goblins. Follow-up II. 】
You have completed the mission: destroy the goblins, destroy the goblins. Follow-up I, exterminate the goblins. Follow-up II. 】
Erin took the mission notice, then took out a crystal card and handed it to Gordos. Gaudus looked at the card in his hand and saw that there seemed to be a pattern engraved on it, which was supposed to be a magic array, but it was not working.
"This is proof of your qualifications in the Mage Guild, as long as you activate the magic array in the card, you will officially become a member of us."
"How do I activate it?"
"Just put in a little bit of magic."
"Does this expose my profession?"
Erin looked at the cautious Gaudus and replied helplessly, "I swear as a believer in Sid Meier, absolutely not. ”
Gaudus then entered a hint of magic.
Soon, the magic energy flowed into the magic array inside the card, and then disappeared into countless tiniest particles. At this moment, the light inside the card overflowed, a six-pointed star pattern emerged, and the magic array began to activate.
Looking at the cards in Gados's hand, Erin stood up, bowed deeply facing the west, and then said to Gadoth, "Praise Sid Meier, you became one of us. ”
Gordos put away his cards and saluted Erin in return, "Praise Sid Meier, and thank you for your help, Lady Irene." ”
(Note: Sid Meier was the first mage on the continent of Acacia, and he unleashed the first magic: the Rubbing Fireball.) As pioneers, the mages who revered him would claim to be his followers. )
"Hehe, you're welcome. Now that you're a level 2 member of the Mage's Guild, if you want to know your rights and obligations, just tap into the cards and enter mana. In addition, completing quests issued by the Mage Guild will earn bonus points, which you can exchange for coins, equipment, skill scrolls, or our services. ”
When Gaudus heard the word "service", he couldn't help but glance at Erin again, and immediately felt a little uncomfortable. Irene was undoubtedly a pretty girl when she was young, but she is now an old lady.
Gadoth shook his head, banished the obscene thoughts, and injected a wisp of magic into the magic array inside the crystal card.
Soon, lines of Acacia text appeared on the card, introducing the rights of Level 2 members of the Mage Guild.
As a Tier 2 member, you can claim Tier II quests. Reward points are awarded for completing missions, and the higher the mission level, the more bonus points you earn.
Reward Points are equivalent to a currency circulating within the Mage Guild, and as a Tier 2 member, Gaudus can use Reward Points to purchase Tier II items or services, or directly to exchange them for gold. However, it is worth noting that the number of quests and the amount of redemption are not unlimited, and the monthly exchange limit for Gaudus is 500 gold, and the number of quests that can be claimed is 5.
This eliminates the possibility of members hollowing out the Mage's Guild's credentials.
Of course, rights also correspond to obligations, and as a Level 2 member, Gaudus is required to pay a monthly membership fee of 50 gold coins to the Mage's Guild. If you are unable to pay cash, the company will automatically deduct the same amount of reward points. If he fails to pay his dues for three months, he will be automatically withdrawn from the Mage's Guild and his existing reward points will be reset to zero.
For Gaudus, this is just a small amount of money, and if he can't even pull out this money, how can he be embarrassed to call himself a mage?
Gaudus clicked on the "Items and services that can be purchased" option, and the text on the card receded like a tidal wave, and new words quickly appeared.
Soon, among the many options, Gaudus found the service he was looking for: custom-made blue magical equipment.
When this option is clicked, the text on the card disappears again, replaced by an arrow that appears to indicate where the service was purchased.
Following the guidance of the arrow, Gaudus came to the appointed place.
It was a room full of magical vessels, test tubes, beakers, magic stoves, and a large number of reagents that had been prepared. An old man with gray hair was sitting on a chaise longue, wearing a pair of one-sided glasses, and was intently reading the book "The Inscription Technique of the Magic Array" on the theory of magic.
It seems that this old man should be the provider of customized services.
Gao Duosi immediately placed a cloth bag on the small table beside the old man, and said, "I want to order a piece of magic equipment, and the raw materials are ready." ”
The old man didn't mean to get up, but glanced at Gados, and then opened the cloth bag.
The old man's expression suddenly became very exciting, and what was contained in the cloth bag was a blackened skull.
"Huh? This turned out to be... The skull of a mutant ghoul? ”
Gauldos nodded. The old man was right, when Gao Duos burned a zombie-transformed ghoul in the church of Sindh Town, the ghoul was burned into ashes by the flames, and only the head withstood the tempering of the flames and survived.
The old man stroked his skull, feeling the wisps of undead aura escaping from his skull, and exclaimed, "If you just want to make a piece of blue equipment, this is indeed a good material. What gear do you want to make? Staffs? Shield? Or something else? ”
"A small shield."
The old man took out a small hammer and struck it lightly twice on the skull, making a crisp metallic sound. He nodded, then handed him a sheepskin scroll and said, "It's also very strong." If you want to add an enchantment to your shield, look no further than this. Due to material limitations, you can choose up to 3 level 1 enchantment effects, or 1 level 1 and 1 level 2 enchantment. When you've chosen, let me know. ”
"Material limitations? What do you mean? ”
The old man glanced at Gao Duos and then explained, "The enchantment effect is essentially the operation of the magic array at work. The stronger the material, the stronger the items made from that material, and we generally call these items that will be enchanted as [substrates]. ”
"The stronger the [substrate], the higher the level of the magic array that can be carried, the greater the number, and the more powerful the enchantment effect will be."
"I see, what is ideal?"
"Generally speaking, metals are more common materials... Of course, there are other materials, but most of them are heavy and too rare. ”
Gao Duosi nodded, thought about it again, and put the [Thunder. Field's bone staff was handed to the old man, and he said, "Can you comment on this staff?" ”
The old man took the bone staff, casually admired it, and then showed an expression of appreciation, and said, "Obviously, this is a beginner's work, but it is indeed original. To be able to be in such ... Setting up 3 enchantment effects on such an inferior substrate is a masterpiece of its class. Is this your work? ”
Gao Duos shook his head and said, "What about these enchantments?" ”
"These enchantments are very mediocre, in fact, if you convert them to levels, you can't even reach level 1. However, these are very useful enchantment effects, and although the increase is limited, they can still help the necromancer. ”
Gaudus nodded, withdrew his staff, and unfolded the scroll, revealing that it was full of descriptions of various enchantment effects, such as "faster cast speed", "increased solidity", "added cold damage", and so on.
"I choose... Level 2 [Solid] and level 1 [Necromancy Effect Amplification]. ”
"Wise choice. Young man, I want to congratulate you in advance. Since the Ghoul Skull you provide contains the power of the undead, the level 1 [Necro Effect Amplification] will automatically increase to level 2 at that time. ”
"Kudos to Sid Meier, thank you for your help. By the way, can I transfer a portion of my bonus points to someone else's name? ”
The old man glanced at Gao Duos meaningfully and said, "Of course, if I'm not mistaken, you're a Level 2 member, right?" ”
"Yes."
"Then according to the rules, you can transfer 10% of the bonus points earned this month to another person's name."
Gao Duos nodded, then clicked on the crystal card and transferred 10% of the reward points to the old man's account in front of him.
The old man glanced at his crystal card and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, and he said, "I will contact the best shield master for you." After 4 days, come and pick up your gear. ”
Gaudus nodded, then turned to leave.
