Chapter 301: Magic Destroyer
The Pope's letter to Sivi was, as he expected, containing a request for Sivi to go to the southern forest to help.
However, the tone of the letter in writing was mostly euphemistic and persuasive, and it didn't feel as arrogant as the messenger who had informed Sivi of the Mage Guild that they were going to participate in the appraisal meetingβthe Seven Yao Mage Guild could do much worse than the Pure White Church on this point.
Originally, Xiwei also wanted to use the amount of dissatisfaction with the remuneration to make trouble, and refused this commission.
It's just that he hesitated again after seeing the list of appendices.
Not for anything else, it's really because the pay is too generous.
First of all, the collection of books in the Sanctuary of the Pure White Church, including the second-level limit, all the books below the second-level limit, except for the books about the secrets of the Holy See, can be copied with a set of copies and sent to the Adric Academy.
You must know that although there is also a library in the castle, which has expanded its internal space tenfold, there are very few books in it - magic books and other things are not something that can be bought casually in bookstores on the market. Aside from the hack from the Lylian Academy of Magic, the only chance Sivi could get his hands on a new collection was the weekly 'Akaxia Box'. Even if you can get all those books every week, it's only ten books, and it will take the Year of the Monkey to fill a library...... In contrast, the collection of books in the Pure White Church is outrageously rich, and the Immortal Library that Sivi had visited when he was in the Sanctuary has an astonishing collection of books, and if he can really get a large number of books from the Pure White Church to enrich the library, it will undoubtedly be a very good thing for the Adric Academy.
If it was just that, Sivi might be able to grit his teeth and refuse.
But in addition to this, the Pure White Sanctuary can also set aside three medium-sized chambers of commerce for Edric as a subordinate organization. And it's not the kind of nominal mastery, but the transfer of all rights, including the right to appoint and dismiss, and there is no possibility of overriding the Adric Academy.
Although it is not particularly rare for a medium-sized chamber of commerce to be established, it is necessary to build a medium-sized chamber of commerce from scratch. It will take a lot of effort and money to invest, not to mention a lot of time to completely consolidate the reputation of a chamber of commerce. At present, Adric does not have the leisure and funds. And as long as you take over these three chambers of commerce and run them well. Soon the academy will be able to completely break away from the financial control of the Julian Empire and the Seven Yao Mage Association, and firmly control the lifeblood of money in its own hands!
Compared to these two points, the cash reward that seems a little scary is not so impressive.
However, it was precisely because the remuneration was too generous that Sivi felt uneasy about this incident.
I said. What the hell are you guys up to? He looked up from the letter, stared at Frey with burning eyes, and tentatively warned.
"So I'm just the executor. Why did the above make this kind of decision, how could I possibly know what to do. β
The girl shrugged her shoulders without pressure in the face of Sivi's aggressive momentum: "In addition, His Majesty the Pope said, if you don't believe me, you can sign a magic contract with me." β
"No, if you really want to pay the bills, the magic contract won't be of much use."
Sivi clumped up the letter paper and burned it in his hand. Relying on the other party's insight, he opened the task page of the system casually, and sure enough, he found a task on it that he hadn't picked up yet.
[Mission: Investigation of the Eternal Forest Sea Mutation (Missed)]
[Difficulty: 2 stars]
[Mission content: Go to the Ancient Forest Sea, and with the help of the forest elves and the pure white church, investigate the cause of the mutation as soon as possible.] The mission is limited to 168 hours. The reward for a task is inversely proportional to the time elapsed since the task was generated. Failure of the mission will result in a deduction of 50% of the Academy's current resources. γ
[Note: The task has been generated for 12 hours and 43 minutes]
It seems that this quest has been created yesterday after listening to Silph and their story. It's just that because the task didn't appear on the information panel, Xiwei, who went straight to the dungeon, didn't notice it.
The difficulty of the task is only two stars, which can only be regarded as a slightly difficult level, although there are also task punishments, but that kind of punishment is clearly the same as none - the big deal is that when the time limit is approaching, just throw all the resources that can be smashed into the construction of the academy......
After carefully confirming the content of the task, he confirmed the pick-up, and raised his head to look at the girl.
"Well, in that case, I'll do a favor this time."
"It's great that you can agree." The smile on Elder Winter's face, who was obviously relieved, softened even more: "Then when are you free......
"There is a saying in my hometown, it is called 'it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun', and it is naturally incumbent on you to be able to help you darlings of nature." Sivi didn't care about Frey, who was looking at him with contempt, and said solemnly, "Let's go now." β
After all, it is very clear on the task that the sooner the task is completed, the more rewards, so naturally the sooner you start, the better.
"My mount, Pegasos, has been flying for two days and is already very tired."
Frey immediately objected, "It needs to rest!" β
"Then let it rest."
Xiwei's face showed a look of control: "It just so happens that the dockyard of our academy has completed the new magic ship, so let's take that one to the southern forest." β
He straightened up, looked at Sylv and Willows, who had not yet grasped the situation, and said, "Next, please come with me." β
After saying that, he pushed open the door and planned to set off for the airport. The moment he opened the door, he seemed to see a sky-blue figure flash around the corner not far away.
I guess it's a passing student. Sivi, who didn't take it to heart, led the others all the way to the airport where the new airboat was moored.
The blueprints for the construction of the new airship had been bought a few days earlier after receiving money from the Mage Guild, and they were thrown to the dockyard to start manufacturing. And the construction was only last night.
When everyone came to the special platform for the airport, except for Xiwei, who had already prepared, everyone else was obviously stunned.
"This is the magic technique of humans in this era......" Elven Elder Winter looked at the huge creation in front of him with an incredulous expression, and his pointed ears twitched a few times like a small animal: "It's amazing." β
ββ¦β¦ You guy, do you want to use this ship to conquer the world? Frey also looked incredulous, the magic ship that was beyond the common sense of the girl was carrying many familiar large magic weapons - they were used by the army of the King's Council to deal with rebels or giant monsters.
According to the theory of the general magic ship, those things with excessive magic fluctuations will definitely affect the normal operation of the magic ship, and it is not impossible to fly halfway through and suddenly fall directly like a lead ball. But the large magic ship in front of her didn't have that feeling of being affected at all, and all kinds of magic fluctuations were perfectly harmonized, as if they were as delicate as a craft.
The only people who didn't have any idea about this magic ship were the two fledgling elf endorsements, and they were just slightly shocked by the shape and size of the magic ship.
Sivi walked briskly onto the deck, then made a 'please' gesture to the others.
"Welcome to the maiden voyage of this ancient magic destroyer. Of course, our academy generally calls it what it does," the smile on his face seemed to Frey to be a bit of a villain, "the Celestial Destroyer." (To be continued.) )
