Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Darkness Has Been Forever, Just Finding Another Way
Although there were some doubts in his heart, Link still took the letter and put it away, and then said, "Ellett, say hello to your mentor on my behalf." ”
"I'll bring it." After packing up the things on the stone table, Arlett made an appointment with Link for the next exchange time, and then turned to leave.
Link didn't leave directly, he turned his head to look around, and after making sure that there was no one around, he opened Verora's letter, pulled out the letter paper, and looked at it.
The letter does not contain much, only a small paragraph, and it does not use the common script of the human race, but the almost lost script of the ancient earth spirit relics.
In order to communicate smoothly with Verora, Link had learned this text so he could understand it.
"My friend, I'm sorry to bother you again, but this time the situation is a bit special. Master Anthony, the dean, recently told me that the Academy's monitoring magic sensed some strange dark forces in the Gwent Forest. Although this power is secretive, the aura that exudes it suggests that its essence may be very powerful, even no less than level 6. I've sent the Raven to probe first, once I have the exact information. I'll do it myself. But in order not to attract the attention of the magician Bell, it will be a secret mission, and I will have to go alone. When the time comes, I may need a helper, if you agree to come with me, please contact me in time so that I can prepare early. When the time comes, I will give you a valid reason to leave the Academy for a while. I expect to leave in a month's time, this mission is very dangerous, if you are going to travel with me, please be prepared. ”
After reading the letter, the fire flashed in Link's hand, and the letter burned to ashes, and at the same time, he felt that there was information flashing in his vision, and when he looked at it, it was the information of the new mission.
Start Mission: Companion
Description: When the time comes, leave the Academy of Magic and help Aurora investigate the source of darkness in the Gwent Forest.
Mission Reward: 100 Free Points.
As soon as he saw such a high reward, Link was awe-struck in his heart, this mission is estimated to be not simple.
But will he be able to refuse Verora's request? Obviously not, the other party is an angel of light, a staunch ally of his in the fight against darkness, since he needs his help, he naturally has to go all out.
Link chose to accept.
Fortunately, there is still a month to go, and by that time, Link's period of magical weakness has also passed, and his Dominic Crystal has been purified, during this time, he should be able to develop a few more super magic skills and accumulate some free points.
At that time, he will be a very powerful level 4 magician.
"That's more than enough for the task."
However, despite all the preparations, Link was still a little weak in his heart, and he vaguely felt that when he blocked one of the exits of the darkness according to the memories of the game in his previous life, these dark powers began to look for other exits, and Link had no clue about these new exits.
As he continues to change history, the advantages of his foreknowledge are constantly being lost.
"The darkness has always been there, and now it's just going a different way, I don't know what kind of catastrophe will happen when it finally erupts." Link let out a long sigh.
At this time, the time was already four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky in the valley was already a little dark, Link had been busy all day, and felt a little tired, so he slowly swayed back to Bell's magic tower, and when he returned to the hall on the first floor of the magic tower, he saw that the magic apprentices in the hall were all gathered together, and on the podium, Draco, who played the role of the head of the bell magic tower, was talking on the podium.
Link walked over to his place in the corner and sat down.
"All in all, this order from the military of the kingdom is very large, and the requirements for quality, especially stability, are very high. The instructor's requirement is to complete the task at the appointed time and with the highest quality."
On the podium, Draco spoke impassionedly, but the magic apprentices under the podium looked bitter one by one.
Link listened for a while, and then he understood, it seems that the Norton Kingdom is preparing to send an army with a vengeance against the Belinder Kingdom in the Black Forest. Naturally, before leaving, all kinds of materials must be prepared, and all kinds of magic scrolls and alchemy potions are naturally within the scope of military procurement.
This incident has not happened in the previous life, in the previous life, Greenstone was successfully slaughtered, and all the inhabitants were sacrificed by the dark elves, and the dark elves directly obtained the god of Queen Rose, obtained the artifact, and then the Norton kingdom has been defeated.
"History is changing, I wonder what will happen to this troop dispatch?" I don't know why, Link's mood is a little inexplicably heavy.
Because he was late, Link missed a lot of news, so he went directly to Warwick, the magic apprentice in charge of the magic scroll.
"Warwick, what is the mission?"
Warwick had a bitter look on his face, and he stretched out five fingers to compare: "From today onwards, 5 magic scrolls will be drawn in a day, and everyone will do the same, and it will last for 20 days, because the task assigned to our magic tower is a total of 800 level 0 scrolls, and I will also draw the same." ”
As soon as he said this, Link understood, he now knew that there were only 7 apprentices in the magic tower who wrote scrolls, plus Warwick it was 8, 800 sheets, and it was 100 sheets for each person, and it was completed in 20 days, and one person had exactly five scrolls a day.
However, the magic energy and energy of magic apprentices are limited, the more scrolls are drawn in a day, the higher the failure rate will be after the energy decreases, and the task of 5 scrolls a day is really a very difficult task for intermediate and low-level magic apprentices.
Then, Warwick, as a high-level magic apprentice and the head of the magic scroll, must personally fill this gap.
The thought of the hellish days that followed made Warwick want to die.
Link's heart moved, and he asked again, "It's just level 0 magic, is there a requirement for specific magic?" ”
"Yes, the military only buys two secondary scrolls, the Sharpness and the Secondary Armor. None of the others. ”
"But I'm only using secondary armor now." It's a bit shocking to say that you can master both, but it's more normal to master a level 0 auxiliary magic in two weeks.
"Huh? Can you have secondary armor? Warwick's eyes lit up, he hadn't counted Link in the first place, because Link had only drawn stone thorns.
"I just learned it, and I haven't had time to say it yet, because I don't know it well yet, and I'm afraid of being laughed at." Link spread his hands, then stretched out his fingers and pointed a little towards himself, and after 1 second, a faint green light spread over Link's body until it was densely covered all over his body.
Exactly level 0 magic: secondary armor.
Warwick was immediately overjoyed: "It's okay, it's okay, it's good to practice more, haha, it's really good news!" ”
Now, there are 9 people who can participate in the mission, and his burden is much lighter.
When Draco had finished, Warwick gathered the apprentices who were drawing the scrolls and announced, "Time is short, the task is huge, let's start now." ”
As he spoke, he handed each of them 10 blank scrolls, as well as a bottle of silver ink.
The magic apprentices sighed and led the scrolls and ink away, but Link was still silent, and he returned to his room, but he did not rush to draw the scrolls, but continued to read the magic book.
As for drawing scrolls, let's talk about it when you're tired of reading books, when you run out of inspiration for writing papers, and when you need to change your mind, it's a simple matter anyway.
Good news is often followed by bad news, and at 4 p.m. the next day, another accident occurs in the apprentice group drawing the magic scroll.
There are 2 magic apprentices, perhaps because he was too nervous, he stayed up all night writing magic scrolls, but there was a mistake, and the magic energy backfired, although because of the low level of magic energy, he didn't kill them, but he had to rest for at least a month to recover.
For a month, the two were not allowed to touch anything related to magic.
As a result, the number of people who drew magic scrolls became 7 to make matters worse, among which Link was still just mastering magic and was a complete novice, Warwick was anxious, and he just hoped that there would be no more accidents!
"Five sheets a day, not too much, if you feel powerless, don't force it to be completed, even if you can't finish it, it doesn't matter, I'll find a way!" Warwick was afraid that his magic apprentices would drill into the horns, so he repeatedly emphasized.
And he himself, inevitably failing to complete the order, began to draw scrolls like crazy. By the evening of the next day, he had written 8 scrolls by himself, but the whole person was like a frosted eggplant, and his spirit was so exhausted that it was estimated that he might not be able to recover the next day.
Warwick also has no choice, this time Norton's military action is a bit big, he originally wanted to spend money to buy some scrolls on the market to make up the number, but all the scrolls in the world were all purchased, and he couldn't buy them with money, so he had to do it himself.
What a poor fellow.
Link was a little sympathetic to him, but this was a chance for him to make a name for himself in the Belle Magic Tower, so he would give him a hand.
