Chapter 5: Carlin's Refusal
"What the hell is in this wine glass!" Carlin frowned.
Although those wine glasses were still some distance from where he was...... But from the bottom of his heart, Carlin felt a very strong desire for him, and he longed to absorb the liquid from the wine glass as quickly as Inclair did.
"Kids pay attention!" Mage Kirkland's voice rang out: "Pay attention to your absorption speed, too fast absorption may cause mana condensation, which will be a bit troublesome in the future!" ”
A small wine glass flew to the table in front of Carlin and then fell.
"The all-knowing eye can tell what this is?" Carlin turned to the magical creature in his mind for help.
"Okay host, please wait, analysis is underway...... Wait......" The omniscient eye's voice came to an abrupt halt.
"Wait...... Wait a minute...... Wait......" I heard this legendary magical creature exclaim: "Oh my God, this is a magic crystal, a high-concentration magic crystallization diluted 32 times with water!" ”
"Magic Crystal...... That one...... What is it? Carlin was even more confused.
"Mana crystals can only be obtained from the fresh brains of mages and highly intelligent magical creatures, and the extraction rate is very low...... In Ferron, an ounce of mana crystals can be exchanged for a drop of dragon's blood, or a phoenix's tail feather; Even a 32-fold diluted magic crystal is worth more than ten times its weight in gold! ”
What the value of the dragon's blood and the phoenix's tail feathers was Carlin didn't know, but he knew the gold...... The liquid in this wine glass in front of me is about 50 grams; 500 grams of gold, obediently, you can buy a house the size of a bathroom in the magic capital!
"And what does it do?" Carlin continued.
"The magic crystallization itself is the origin of magic, and for mages of any level, they can directly absorb arcane energy from it to strengthen their own magic source, and have the same effect as connecting the magic network pathway through meditation!" The All-Seeing Eye said excitedly: "Moreover, the lower the level of the mage, the greater the benefit from absorbing magic crystals!" ”
Carlin suddenly felt a little confused in his mind.
According to the All-Seeing Eye, this magic crystal itself is very precious, and it is of great benefit to them! But why is such a precious thing being distributed to everyone like plain water now? You must know that the people here at this time are just the most ordinary mage apprentices.
Carlin wasn't alone, but he was suspicious of the liquid in the glass.
In the other corner, an elven apprentice stood up and asked, "Mentor Kirkland, can you ask what the liquid of this wine glass is?" ”
The elf's face was a little immature, and his expression was a little nervous, and it looked like he might be an apprentice who was participating in a magic gathering for the first time.
"Okay, it looks like I need to explain it to you new apprentices!" Mage Kirkland said calmly, "What is contained here is diluted water from the Well of the Sun!" ”
"Well water from the Well of the Sun?" Carlin's eyes widened.
"More than six thousand years ago, His Majesty Daresma led the first High Elves to Quel'Thalas, and at the same time he established the eternal relict of our High Elf clan: the Well of the Sun!" Mage Kirkland exclaimed, "The Well of the Sun's inexhaustible energy nourishes us and gives us immense power! We have guarded this miraculous well for generations, and even when they are away from their native Quel'Salas, they can still feel its power. ”
"For us mages, the well water of the Well of the Sun can greatly improve our understanding of the arcane, which is why Quel'Salas has always been the most magically developed city on the continent, because every High Elf, at a young age, can be infiltrated by the well water of the Well of the Sun to maximize the potential of magic!"
"Of course, for you magic apprentices, the concentration of the well water in the Well of the Sun is still too high...... The contents of these glasses are ten times diluted, which is even more conducive to your absorption! ”
It turned out that the well water of the Well of the Sun had such a powerful effect, and Carlin suddenly felt that some of his previous doubts were understandable.
"Host, what are you waiting for?" The omniscient eye said anxiously: "Quickly absorb these magic crystals, the form of the magic crystals at room temperature is not particularly stable, and it may be ...... if left for a long time."
Carlin was still a little hesitant, he was worried about something!
"The All-Knowing Eye, is the well water of this well of the sun, that is, the crystallization of mana, addictive?" Carlin asked softly.
"Addictive?" The omniscient eye was stunned: "Any powerful source of power is addictive and needs to be ingested regularly to ...... But according to the low-level mage (Kirkran), mana crystals are endless if they are mined from an open well...... So as long as the Well of the Sun still exists, it is impossible for the addiction to explode! ”
"As long as the Well of the Sun is not destroyed, it is impossible for the demon addiction to explode, right?" A wry smile tugged at the corner of Carlin's mouth.
"Yes, according to the deduction just made by the All-Seeing Eye, the probability that the Sunwell will continue to exist for 10,000 years is 98.67%, and the chance that the host's lifespan will exceed 10,000 years is 0.02%, so the host doesn't need to worry about the outbreak of demonic addiction caused by the depletion of the Sunwell!"
Carlin stood up, he had made his decision.
"Mentor Kirkland!" He stood up and whispered.
Mage Kirkland glanced at the corner and calmly asked, "Is there something wrong?" Mr. Carlin? ”
"That...... Mentor Kirkland, I was injured a few days ago and still haven't healed! Carlin said slowly, "So can I not take the well water of the Well of the Sun this time, after all, I am worried that if I take it, it will affect my injury!" ”
"Mr. Carlin...... I've heard of your deeds some time ago! Mage Kirkland replied with a little embarrassment, "Strictly speaking, if you take the well water of the Sun, it will increase your mental burden and slightly affect your injuries...... However, I personally don't think this effect is very big, of course, if you insist, you can not take well water this time! ”
"Yes, I insist!" Carlin responded.
"Carlin, you're crazy!" Oliver, who was on the side, couldn't help but ignore Mr. Kirkland, who was looking at him here, spoke.
The other apprentices also immediately talked about it, expressing their extreme incomprehension.
You must know that the part of devouring demons is extremely important for every High Elf mage, which can greatly reduce the difficulty of improving their mana accumulation...... It is obviously not a very wise thing to miss such an opportunity.
"Host, the All-Seeing Eye thinks you've made a very, very, very unwise decision!" With Carlin's insistence, in his mind, that magical creature almost couldn't help but start scolding!
