On the other side, there is no mysterious wreath lawn or obsidian statue standing opposite the tower. The only thing that could give a magical feel to the exterior was the black steel gate with Mithril and Adamantite mixed with the magic pattern.

"Stop! This is the base of the Mystic Freemasons in the city of Affleck. Please identify yourself first. "A pair of axe guns were just across Rieli and Clematis. Both's in front of him.

"The Secret Freemasonry Residence?" Rielly's eyes widened, "Are you kidding?" How could the Mystic Freemasons use such semi-finished products. ”

Mysteries Freemasonry is one of the most famous spell organizations in the Western Continent. It was the first emerging mage organization to emerge after the Bloody Iron Rider Incident. Its earliest members included almost all of the remaining arcane users in the Western Continent after the war between knights and spellcasters, except for the Silver Federation.

Many of these people have left traces of their scales and claws in history. Most of the rest of the time, for one reason or another, it is hidden. This has led some to secretly ridicule the mages of the Mystic Freemasons as the losers of the previous era, and the Mystic Commons themselves as an alliance of losers.

In fact, in history, when those famous ** divisions called for wind and rain. Mystical Freemasonry mages generally only occupy a little outside the focus of their own time.

Of course, the status of those ** divisions puts them on the front line of suppressing the rise of the knightly class. And after the defeat, it was subjected to unprecedented purges and there was not much left. On the contrary, it was these 'harmless otaku' who studied behind closed doors that survived.

And the mages who survived after this gradually evolved into mystical Freemasonry. After decades or even more years of accumulation, some of them are no less than some ** divisions that have left a name in history - the recuperation after the war has given them the opportunity to develop secretly.

However, it seems that because of the previous war, most of their members are related. So for a long time, the organization didn't do anything too out of the ordinary. As a result, Mystic Freemasonry has not been well-known for a long time. Only a small number of mages know that there is such an organization on the Western Continent.

However, with the Esoteric Freemasons more than five hundred and fifty years ago, several high-profile actions on the continent. The organization's daimyo soon reached the world-famous Cheng dù.

Two of these actions are the most famous. One is to mobilize underground forces in the southern region to attack the Eye of Truth organization and local lords, the purpose of which may be to unearth the legacy of a certain ancient ** master; The other was a coup d'état in Uhtred, an independent city in the south-central part of the continent, which gave them de facto dominance.

In both operations. The mages of the Mystic Freemasonry have the ability to surpass a group of small and medium-sized lords, and calmly play with the most famous intelligence group in the Western Continent to the Eye of Truth, which has attracted the attention of other forces in the continent. This also made their reputation not much better for a long time afterward.

But time will eventually wear out. After hundreds of years of changes, the Mystical Freemasonry, which has not made any out-of-the-ordinary moves, is already a neutral legal organization in the eyes of everyone.

Its strength is on the western continent. It is generally considered to be in the top three with the exception of the Silver Federation. With their strong influence, it's no wonder that Rielly would be surprised that they were using such a half-finished mage tower as a station.

"In an area like Affleck City, it's enough to use this kind of semi-finished product." The tone of the guard in front of him wearing a silver breastplate immediately became much softer.

Because Rielly could tell that the tower behind him was a half-finished product. Then it is likely that her identity is also one of the arcane spellcasters. There is a high hierarchy in the Mystic Freemasonry, and there is an insurmountable gap between the caster and the non-caster (with the exception of the difference in strength, or perverts like the official knights). So even though Rieli is a wild mage. The guards in front of him didn't want to be offended.

"Proof of identity, yes?" As she said this, Rielly snapped her fingers, and a shining ball of light appeared in front of the guard in front of her. With the wave of the female mage's palm, the ball of light flew up and down while changing in light and darkness.

And Claudia. Auditore was much more relaxed. As a devotee of the goddess of wealth and commerce, she directly revealed her holy emblem.

After confirming the identities of the two people, the guard in front of him turned around and gave way to the door: "If the two ladies have any needs, you can ask the receptionist in the hall on the first floor." ”

"Thanks!" Rielly said as she stepped into the tower.

The heavy black iron gate was not opened by the arrival of the players. However, there is a small door in the middle of the room, which is enough for two crossbowmen to pass through. Compared to the real Mage Tower, some of the dimly lit halls in it seemed empty. Fortunately, the two ladies still saw a figure lying on a table with the word "reception" on it.

Rielly, who had had a bad experience before, didn't have a good impression of the receptionist. She walked up and knocked on the table with a "puff".

"Ahh A bang. The kid in the robe in front of him jumped up at once. The corners of his slightly dazed mouth were still moist, and he didn't seem to have fully woken up.

The apparently underage little guy after seeing Rielie dress. Immediately stared at her with teary eyes, as if frightened by the female mage.

Even Rieli was a little overwhelmed by the situation in front of her. Rather, it's Clematis. Bot smiled at the other party, "Mr. Ri'an, may I ask where the spell materials and scrolls are sold." ”

The young apprentice, who was originally frightened, immediately seemed to grasp a life-saving straw: "Go up this staircase, turn left, and the third room will have a sign engraved with scrolls and strange objects. By the way, it's better to knock on the door, the Samira mage inside is not very good-tempered...... No, I'm not saying he's bad-tempered, I'm saying it's better to be polite when you go to see him...... No, I'm not saying you're rude...... I'm sorry...... I mean......"

The frightened little guy in front of him was a little upside down when he spoke. However, the general logic is not too wrong, which has to be said to be the credit of the mage's education.

After roughly understanding what the other party was saying, Clematis. Bot turned his head to look at Rielly, and pointed to his head at the same time: "Are the natives' mage apprentices all crazy like this?" ”

"Nope! It is said that the people who are really crazy are those middle and high-level mages who have fallen into a bottleneck. I think this poor little fellow. Probably there is a mentor like that! He must have been mistreated. Rielly looked at the half-grown boy in front of her, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a little pity.

"Are you going from here?" Claymatis. Bot gestured to the stairs.

But all of a sudden, the little guy in front of him covered his mouth and refused to speak. At the same time, he continued to look at the two players with those teary eyes.

Rielly, on the side, seemed to have figured out some of the veins. She walked up to the apprentice and said apologetically, "We don't mean anything, we just asked for the next step, I'm really sorry." ”

"Ahh It's okay, it's okay. The primary apprentice in front of him shook his head: "No, no, it's okay, it's all because I'm too stupid!" ”

"Hmm! Hehe! You little guy is so cute! You can call me Master Rielly. Speaking of which, Rielly: "That's right! What's your name? ”

"I, I...... My name is Charles, hello! He was a little speechless with excitement, "Master Mage. ”

"Nice to meet you. Shafa. Saying this, he waved his hand at the little boy in front of him, "Then let's go meet Master Samir!" ”

"Goodbye, goodbye!!" The little guy bowed excitedly to Rieley.

Klematis when walking up the spiral staircase. Bot's face was cloudy. She lowered her voice and asked, "Lily! It seems that the treatment of the mage's apprentice is really a bit frightening! In contrast, the service in our temple is much better. ”

"I'm afraid that little guy is from a civilian background with no background! And his own talent is not too high. But it can be seen that his mentor is not bad. At least he didn't die on the test bench. There was a mixture of pity and helplessness in Rielly's words.

The two followed the apprentice's instructions down the stairs to the third floor, turned left and saw a door with a sign engraved. Rielly knocked on the door and asked

"Is Master Samir here?" ”

"Yes, you wait." A slow voice came from behind the door. When the door opened, standing in front of the two of them was a man who looked to be in his thirties. His skin was a little pale, but his hair was meticulously groomed.

"Your Excellency, we need to procure some spell items." Claymatis. Bot poked his head out as he spoke.

"Come in and see for yourself!" With that, Master Samir returned to his seat and continued to read the book.

The two players walked up to the ones that were loaded with the items on display. Inside the window, there are layers of shelves with a variety of finished products and reinforcing materials for secondary processing. On the right side of the window, there is a piece of paper that reads, special products: all kinds of crystals are negotiable.

"Are enhancement crystals actually sold here?"

"Yes, you're lucky, you just transferred some from the headquarters some time ago." Mage Samir didn't even bother to look up at the players, just stared down at the book in front of them and said to them.

Rielly approached Master Samir and asked, "What breeds!" ”

"Look at the list yourself." Mage Samir said as he tossed Rielly a parchment roll.

The enhancement crystals in the mouth of the two are of a kind that are only attached to one piece of armor. Shields, weapons, or other appropriate items that can only be used. At the same time, when the user wears or holds the item in a proper way, they can obtain and can only obtain the benefit of one enhancement crystal.

Enhanced crystals provide a frugal way to strengthen weapons and armor. Unlike regular armor or weapon stats, purchasing and using an Enhancement Crystal does not require a permanent intention to make the item - if you get bored of using it later, you can sell it or trade it for a stronger Crystal or item.

The inherent "interchangeability" of enhanced crystals also allows the user to be prepared for more eventualities. For example, buying Nether weapon stats is not only an important monetary investment. And when you're not fighting Shadows and Bound Spirits, it feels like a waste of space.

On the other hand, a secondary True Death Crystal can provide the same effect, and can be swapped for a different crystal when the user is not facing an Imaginary Mob.

Even the shy rookies (aristocrats) can afford a few low-level crystals. And when their strength can easily afford to pay for the dimensional bag, it is a good choice to collect some extra crystals for special situations.

"There really is a secondary real death crystal!" Rieli's eyes lit up. This special crystal, created by the priests, is used to help themselves and others guide the undead to their final rest.

Claymatis. Bot was also puzzled at this time: "This should be regarded as a magic item!" How can it be sold in the Mage Organization? ”

"If you want to buy it, hurry up!" Mage Samir spoke out suddenly.

Although Rielie had a plan, she was still a little undecided: "How about it, do you want to buy it?" My previous companions didn't say they needed it! ”

Claymatis. Bot was quite pleasant: "Nonsense. Definitely going to buy it. At the very least, Barrett should be assigned one to the main attacker. Otherwise, we'll be blind when we encounter virtual creatures. And it's a much more cost-effective thing than a direct enchantment. ”

"Let's get a secondary True Death Crystal first! Then bring me 3 Scorching Ray Scrolls, 3 Achnweb Scrolls...... There is also 1 Fireball Scroll. "Rieli directly broke out her own purchase list." By the way, do you have any research materials for the secondary Swift Burst and the Wind Element's Claw? ”

"Research data on secondary swift bursts and wind claws?" Hearing this, Mage Samir finally raised his head, "Wind Spirit Claws are common. However, the qiē spells related to the rapid explosion are not so easy to see in the world! ”

"Since this is a subordinate organization of the Mystery Freemasonry, I think there should be relevant information! Moreover, this kind of Cheng dù spell should also be a Cheng dù that requires the secrecy of the Mystic Freemasonry. When he said this, he played with the money bag in his hand.

"Alright! Not enough, the price is not cheap. Master Samir began to count the shopping list that Rielly had reported earlier. After about half a minute, he spoke again: "A total of six thousand six hundred and eighty-five gold, you are going to pay in cash!" Or be prepared to barter. ”

"Cash payment, of course! Bartering with you guys doesn't cost you death. "Clematis who said this. Bot. Three large denomination equivalent gold tickets were drawn at once. Then Rielly counted out eighty-five gold coins from her heavy bag.

Seeing the cash, Mage Samir nodded in satisfaction, and then began to remove the protective spells on the selected items in the house. Although the building in front of you is not a complete mage tower. But as a station for a spell organization. I don't know how many magic circles and traps have been arranged.

So before when Rieley and Claymatis. While the two of them were selecting the samples, the Samir mage in front of them was able to carry out his reading in peace—any attempt to take advantage of it here would often end in failure.

"For the sake of you buying so many things at once. Let me give you one more piece of advice! Mage Samir, who had completed the transaction, showed a satisfied smile on his face: "You better be careful, it's not peaceful around here, leave as soon as you can, I also plan to collect materials as soon as possible and find a chance to hang out of here, after all, those fishmen are not small." ”

"Do you have any specific news here?" Clematis who said this. Bot was holding two transparent sapphires in his hands.

Mage Samir shook his head with some pity, "Further news is not something that a spellcaster like me can reach. I don't really need to hide anything. ”

"Understood! I understand. "Claymatis. Bo clicked on the map and pulled Rielly out of the tower. Soon the two of them saw their companions who were still standing near the notice board in the square.

Approached Clematis. Bot handed Barrett an amethyst carved into the shape of a humanoid skull: "Barrett! This is for you! ”

"This is a real death crystal? I didn't expect to come across such a good thing here. I don't need to buy any spell supplies before I take it back. Touching the skull crystal in his hand, Barrett immediately asked, "Is this crystal low-grade, secondary, or high-grade?" ”

"Subordinate, of course! Are we too stupid to see it? That kind of low-level vigilance extra damage doesn't help you much at all, Barrett, isn't it? As for the advanced ones. We wanted to buy it, but we didn't sell it. Rielly glared at Barrett in annoyance.

A low-level True Death Crystal that causes weapons attached to it to inflict additional damage equivalent to a sword slash to the undead. The secondary True Death Crystal is capable of this. Turn the attached weapon into a Nether weapon.

This can be said to be the beginning of the true death crystal essence ability, the Nether weapon can normally damage imaginary creatures, and their special ability. If the darkness that invaded the surface of the earth before had a nether weapon, it wouldn't have scratched the head of some obscene old man.

The same Void creatures can pick up or move Nether weapons. For example, a manifest ghost can attack physical creatures with nether weapons. Essentially. Nether weapons are physical or void, depending on which form is more beneficial to the user.

As for the high-level real death crystals that players haven't seen. On a low-level and secondary-level basis, it can treat undead creatures as ** creatures and deal normal lethal damage.

After carefully gluing the crystal in his hand to the Mo knife, Barrett swung it twice: "That way, you won't have to worry about those damn ghosts and ghosts in the future." ”

"That's right, Lily! We have good news here. We're going to Ai Ku Village, but now we are asking for help on the notice board! "Claudia. Auditore smiled with satisfaction, "That way, if we go to that little village, it won't be noticeable." ”

Claymatis. Bot immediately asked, "In that case, what are you waiting for?" Let's hurry up! ”

After seeing that their companions had no opinions, the players decided to set off for Aiku Village. After the temporary purchase of a dilapidated second-hand carriage. After two days of trekking, the group finally arrived at dusk on the third day, a small village located in the forest, not too far from the trade route.

However, the small village in front of you gives players the impression that it is very bleak. I didn't see anyone on the road, and I looked sad when I saw it. According to what the players see in the village, the village is supposed to be a hunter and a logger for its main livelihood.

The players then go around the village for most of the time before finding the villager's house with the help of a villager. But even outside the drought, players can hear two people arguing inside.

"I told you, if it doesn't work, it won't work! Why don't you understand!"

"It's not that I don't understand, it's ......"

At this time, Barrett voluntarily chose to push the door in. One of them noticed the "squeak" of the players pushing open the door. Angrily yelling at the players, "Enough! Stop arguing, who are you! Why did it come in all of a sudden! Are there any rules?"

"Is that how you treat the mercenaries who come to help you solve your problems?" Noodles looked impatient as she said this, "It's a shame that we came in a hurry when we saw the contents of the notice board!" ”

"Huh? Something about spiders? The old man's expression softened a lot. Are you willing to help our village solve this problem, the sudden appearance of spiders in the forest has made everyone afraid to hunt and log, and everyone will not be able to survive like this. ”

Barrett touched his chin: "Can you tell me what the situation is?" ”

"For more than ten days, a large number of cobwebs have been appearing in the forest, and many sounds can be heard. Someone has been missing since last week, and two lumberjacks and three hunters have not returned. The old man was about to cry, "We have forbidden everyone to go into the forest, but this is not the way to go." ”

Rielly asked, "Isn't there more detailed information?" For example, have anyone seen spiders? ”

Seeing the two old men in front of him, the eyes were slightly blank. Barrett shook his head: "Okay! I see that the announcement does not write the remuneration, do you have any difficulties? ”

"This ...... I'm sorry, we don't really have much money in our village, even if we try our best to scrape together, we only have 121 gold coins. (To be continued.)
