Chapter 152: Mage Lorraine
The carriage slowly drove into the tall gate of Wan'an City, although Master Chen had been here several times, he still felt sincerely proud, after all, this was the first real player city!
Moreover, in just a few days, there are already many antique buildings with Chinese characteristics that are under construction, and I believe it will not be long before they will be completely completed! When the time comes, Wan'an City will further recruit people from the outside world.
These are the construction plans of Wan'an City described by Yuan Dong to Wan Yi, and further development plans are already in full swing. However, these thoughts and ideas will not be able to wait until Wan'an City and Alvin City get through this difficult time safely.
After the three of them got off the bus, they deducted twenty silver coins as a reward according to the previous contract, and this short journey could be regarded as a successful end! Bidding farewell to Master Chen, Yuan Dong and Diewu went to the City Lord's Mansion together, and they wanted to get together to discuss the next countermeasures and the dispatch plan of the troops.
And Wan Yi himself rushed to the magic library of Wan'an City, which was a small detail that Wan Yi only began to notice under Yuan Dong's reminder!
In New World Games, the magic library of each city is much the same! Similarly, there is a complete set of magic books in the library, which are used to teach magicians how to start learning from perceptual elements, to building magical structures, and finally how to depict a complete magic circle.
These introductory textbooks are all the same, and they are available in libraries in various cities, so there is nothing worth seeing. But in the same way, each city's library also has a very small collection of its own books, and reading these collections requires a lot of city contribution value in addition to fame and money.
Wan Yi usually doesn't bother to brush up on the city's contribution points step by step, but now that he is the nominal city lord of Wan'an City, he naturally has the right to read these magic books directly.
The magic library of Wan'an City is very close to the City Lord's Mansion, and the former chief magician of Guy Wan'an City and the former city lord are a pair of close friends. The middle-aged mage died in the previous battle, but all his books were turned over by the personnel of Wanzhilou and put into the library.
Wan Yi just stepped through the door of the library. A young NPC mage greeted him and said politely, "I'm sorry, this guest, we are still sorting out and maintaining the collection, and it is not yet time to open it." ”
Wan Yi was a little surprised, Yuan Dong didn't mention this to him! So, Wan Yi took out his own City Lord Seal from the package and displayed it in front of the NPC mage.
After seeing the Dao City Lord's seal, the young mage hurriedly said respectfully: "It turned out to be Master Wanzhi, as the city lord of Wan'an City, you can naturally enter and exit at will. Inside please. ”
"Huh? You're not from the Duchy of Joyce? Wan Yi put away the city lord seal and said suspiciously: "It seems that you don't care much about my identity as the city lord, but you value my identity as a magician even more!" ”
"Yes! You're right. The young mage nodded, "My name is Lorraine, and I am a resident of the Duchy of Joyce, but I do not belong to the army. Some time ago, I helped take care of the library in Wan'an City through the introduction of the Magic Association. ”
Wan Yi suddenly became a little interested in this ordinary-looking young mage, and used a "probing technique" on him at the moment
Lorraine Enx (Magician)
Lieutenant: Array Mage
Strength: 13
Dexterity: 16
Intelligence: 29
Ability:
Primary Magic Mastery: This mage is able to cast some low-level spells on his own.
Primary Formation Mastery: This mage can independently carve some basic formations.
Talent:
Elementary Knowledge: Slightly improve the character's learning ability, and slightly improve the character's spell control.
Senior Management: This person has strong management skills and is competent for many positions.
Synopsis: Lorraine Enx is an orphan born in the Duchy of St. Joyce. Growing up in the Magic Association, after becoming a qualified mage, he was sent to Wan'an City.
Comprehensive evaluation: C-level expert level
There is no doubt that Lorraine has a very ordinary attribute. Probably every young mage cultivated by the Magic Association will have such attributes! However, Wan Yi still felt the extraordinaryness of Lorraine. Intuition told Wan Yi that the young mage in front of him was a person with ideas!
After a moment of hesitation, Wan Yi asked bluntly, "The Magic Association sent you to my Wan'an City." Do you have any tasks on your side? ”
"Master Know, you may not know much about the system of the Magic Association." Lorraine replied, "Every year, the Magical Society adopts orphans with magical talents to be trained, and those gifted children are naturally left to work for the Magical Society. And the talent is average. For example, like me, after I have a certain strength, I can freely choose to leave the Magic Association or continue to stay. ”
"If you want to leave the Magic Association, you can become a mercenary, an adventurer, or join the army, and the Magic Association will not limit our choices. Instead, they will introduce us to jobs, and my current position as librarian was won for me by the Magic Society! At the same time, I'm still a registered mage with the Magic Guild, but I don't work for the Guild anymore! ”
Wan Yi asked curiously, "What if those talented mages also want to leave the Magic Association?" ”
"No, it won't!" Lorraine said flatly: "They have the best preferential treatment from the Magic Association, and they also enjoy the best resources, how can they be willing to leave?" ”
"Oh, I see." Wan Yi understood a little bit, the Magic Association did this, not only retaining the best talents for itself, but also giving those ordinary people with mediocre talents a chance to develop freely.
Wan Yi said again: "Then may I ask Master Lorraine if he is interested in doing things for our Wanzhilou?" I mean, you can become a mercenary mage in my Wan'an City, and Wan'an City will also give you much better treatment than you have now! ”
Lorraine was a little surprised when she heard this, but still refused: "As far as I know, you Inhumans belong to the soul body, and will not really die, and your way of survival and fighting is definitely not suitable for a native like me!" So, I'd better do my job first. ”
"Master Lorraine, don't be in a hurry to refuse! You can think again. Wan Yi smiled: "Please believe in our Wanzhilou's ability to manage personnel, we only have one life in our own world, and we also understand the weight of life!" ”
After a pause, Wan Yi said again: "Let's put this matter aside for a while, and Master Lorraine will take me to see the magic books in this library first." ”
"Okay! Master Wanzhi, please follow me! ”
Wan Yi followed Lorraine into the library, and could see that the books inside were being rearranged and classified, and the rows of books were taken down from the shelves by Lorraine and neatly piled aside.
This is also the requirement of Wanzhilou, there are too many miscellaneous books in the library, and they are generally placed together with some combat books, not to mention the trouble to find, and it also greatly affects the efficiency of players' reading.
For example, you just finished reading a book "On the Key Points of the Release of B-Order Spells", and you were about to read the next book, but you found a copy of "The Evil Dragon and the Captured Kingdom Princess" next to it, and there was a big **** written on the cover of the book, do you want to read it?
This shows the importance of good classification of books!
As for the position of librarian, Wan Zhilou is also heartbroken. First of all, this position requires the employee to have a certain knowledge of magic, so that he can sort out which ones are high-level and which ones are low-level from the large number of bizarre titles. What kind of spellcasting techniques belong to the same kind, should be put together, and so on.
Moreover, the magic books in the game are not protected by system security, and it will be very troublesome if the librarian guards and steals them!
At first, Wan Zhilou planned to arrange for internal mage players to take turns managing the library, but the tasks in the library were many and complicated, and experienced personnel were needed to be competent. So, the scheme of rotational management simply does not work!
In the end, Wan Zhilou's temporary solution was to change this magic library to be open only to his own people, but it also caused dissatisfaction among some foreign players!
At this time, Lorraine found the City Lord's Mansion with a letter of introduction from the Magic Association, and after Ruyu read it, she handed over the position of librarian to Lorraine.
As a mage from the Magic Association, Lorraine's ability can only be evaluated by the word "qualified". In Ruyu's opinion, letting Lorraine manage the library is simply just right, and it is also a special arrangement made by the system to take care of players!
Wan Yi and Lorraine went straight to the second floor of the library, and Lorraine introduced as he walked: "There is a cubicle on the second floor, which is my current office. I also moved some of my precious books for the time being. ”
The cubicle was very small, with only a desk and a few chairs for the guests to sit in. On the top of the desk sat a few magic books that Lorraine had spoken.
"Master Wanzhi can choose to read a book here, or he can take the book to the reading area outside, and I'll go and get busy first!" With that, Lorraine left.
So, Wan Yi casually found a place to sit down after Lorraine left, and took the magic books on the table and looked through them one by one.
There are a total of seven magic books here, six of which are A-rank and one is S-rank. Among the six A-rank magic books, five of them are earth-based attack spells, and one is a special spell-casting technique "Burning Earth".
Burning Earth (Tier A Special): Increases the intimacy of Earth and Fire Elemental Powers, and increases the power of a hybrid of Fire and Earth spells.
What do you say about this spellcasting technique? It's a bit of a frustration, but it's still very good for a mage who cultivates both fire and earth.
To Wan Yi's surprise, the only S-rank magic book here was actually an earth-based defensive spell!
Despair Barrier (Tier S Defense Spell): Summons layers of earth elemental barriers to defend against attacks! There are a total of nine barriers, and each one has twice as much defense as the previous one!
As soon as Wan Yi saw the introduction, he became interested in this spell, and immediately couldn't wait to open this magic book and began to read it carefully! (To be continued.) )
