Chapter 9: Procurement
The walls hundreds of meters high were towering, and mysterious runes loomed on the walls, and it was these runes that blocked the spirit in Zhao Ziheng's body, so that he had no choice but to choose a person who lived on the outer wall to possess him.
But now that he has a human body, he shouldn't be able to be stopped.
The Magical Guild sits beneath the inner walls of the Xuanwu and is generally responsible for registering the identity of magicians, performing magical awakenings for those who have never awakened, and selling items that only magicians use.
Li Mingyao took Xiao Xiao and Zhao Ziheng into the hall of the Magic Association, and the other two were immediately stunned by the splendid decoration in the hall.
Although Li Mingyao had been here a few times before, every time he saw the magic gems shining above his head, he couldn't help but revel in the magic power contained in them.
This time I came to the Magic Association, firstly, to help Xiao Xiao and Zhao Ziheng pay the 'tuition', and secondly, to choose a few suitable methods for Xiao Xiao.
No magic is empty, and no magician can cast magic.
Method, in this magic world is a relatively magical existence, when everyone awakens, there will be an elemental method in his spiritual world with the same attributes as his awakened, and the magic power generated by his cultivation will be stored in this elemental door.
The other method is the magic method used by the magician to use magic, which can be seen if you sink into the spiritual world while meditating, they are much smaller than the elemental method, and then rotate like a satellite around its main star.
If each elemental mage successfully awakens his first element, then there will be two more opportunities to awaken and obtain the other two elements, but the probability of successful awakening after this is too low, and two-element mages are extremely rare existences, not to mention three-element mages.
However, it is precisely the more opportunities for awakening that makes elemental magic second only to arcane magic among many magics.
Following the guide lady who came to serve to the counter, after paying the tuition for the two of them, Li Mingyao took the opportunity to hand over Jiang Feng's identity card: "Help me register my identity as a mage, arcane mage." β
Miss Guide looked at Li Mingyao in surprise, the most comprehensive magic of all the arcane magic and the magic with very powerful abilities, almost all the arcane mages will be taken away by the various forces in the inner city after awakening and cultivated, this kind of place actually has an unregistered arcane mage, she has seen it for the first time.
"Okay, Mr. Jiang, please wait a minute."
Putting away the casualness at the beginning, Miss Guide was obviously a lot more serious, her well-maintained fingers jumped on the keyboard, and it didn't take long for Li Mingyao to register her identity, and at the same time, she also uploaded this identity statement to the headquarters in the inner city.
"Mr. Jiang, this is your identity card, please keep it."
Hands handed over, the attitude was compared to just now, it was like heaven and earth, Li Mingyao took the identity card, and couldn't help but sigh at the dignity of the identity of the arcane mage.
"By the way, what floor are the mage supplies on?" Li Mingyao pointed to the top of his head.
"The third and second floors are where the mages meet."
"Thank you." Li Mingyao nodded, his heart moved.
"Ziheng, I'll help her pick a good method later, how about we go to the second floor together?"
Li Mingyao touched Xiao Xiao's little head, and the meaning was self-evident.
Looking at Li Mingyao's hand, which was a mess of Xiao Xiao's hair, and Xiao Xiao's coquettish expression, Zhao Ziheng nodded with a smile: "Okay, I just didn't have a good time last night." β
And the thought in his heart was: "Let go of your dog's paws!" β
When he came to the third floor, there were more people here all of a sudden, no matter how luxuriously he decorated, he was dyed with a bit of the taste of the vegetable market under the rendering of the noisy sound.
Li Mingyao looked around, many acquaintances.
And those people obviously noticed the three people who had just come up.
"Yo, isn't this Xiao Xiao's sister? Why, when my brother died, he found another gold owner? Isn't it quite innocent? β
A mage with a shaved head shouted, his presumptuous gaze unceremoniously looking at Xiao Xiao's bumpy figure.
"That's it, it's better to follow our brother Wang earlier, so that your brother doesn't have to lose his life for that money, right?"
The sound of laughter sounded around, and Xiao Xiaoqi's little face turned red, but she also knew that she couldn't reveal her brother's current identity, so no matter how dirty the next language of the people around her was, she just lowered her head and didn't say anything.
"Is that enough?"
Just when Li Mingyao was thinking about why Zhao Ziheng didn't make a move, Zhao Ziheng's cold voice sounded behind him.
Although he was very unhappy to be used as a gunman by Li Mingyao, he didn't want to see Xiao Xiao being bullied by these people at will.
So he stood up and blocked Xiao Xiao behind him.
"Isn't this Zhao Ziheng's kid? Bones are hard? Why, you're not going to kneel down here and beg Grandpa to let you go. β
However, the bald brother didn't have such good eyes, and he didn't notice the water element of the riot around Zhao Ziheng at all.
The water blade slashed out, flashing a blue light with lightning speed, the bald brother's throat shook, and a faint blood mark slowly appeared.
Cold sweat soaked the bald clothes, and he knew in his heart that if Zhao Ziheng was a little more ruthless, his head would not be on his neck.
"You're looking for death!"
The bald brother was furious, the green tendons were beating on his forehead, and several stone thorns appeared around him, and the magicians next to him were afraid to retreat.
The bald brother has the peak strength of an apprentice, and they can't bear the stone thorns.
"What are you doing?"
A voice full of impatience sounded, and the bald head instantly withdrew those stone thorns.
The person who came was the magic security guard on the third floor.
They deliberately chose to appear at this time, and the bald head made trouble here not once or twice, every time it was rubbing the side of the violation, so that they were not good at all to clean up, and now the bald head was threatened by others, and they were interrupted by them before they could fight back, looking at the bald head's aggrieved expression, they didn't mention how cool it was.
As for how much trouble this would bring to Lee Myung-yew, they didn't think about it at all.
The bald head with a cold gaze crossed the faces of the three people: "You give me a little care, and you will feel good when I go out." β
Letting out ordinary cruel words like an ordinary villain, Li Mingyao watched the bald brother pass by with his ordinary person, and shook his head ordinarily.
The three of them didn't take the threat of bald heads to heart and circled around the third floor.
Soon, Zhao Ziheng stopped in front of a counter.
"This, and this."
Li Mingyao's gaze also turned with Zhao Ziheng's voice.
"Resist water and melt ice?"
With his eyebrows raised, Li Mingyao looked at Zhao Ziheng.
Both of these methods belong to the kind of extremely malleable and growth-oriented, but they also have very high requirements for talent, and if you don't have that talent, you will lose money if you buy it.
"For Xiao Xiao."
As if feeling Li Mingyao's gaze, Zhao Ziheng explained without looking back.
"I can teach her."
Damn, how can I have an inferiority complex that stands with Xueba.
Li Mingyao looked at Zhao Ziheng's side face, and felt very unhappy when he thought that Xiao Xiao was going to follow him into the inner city.
"And this."
Zhao Ziheng pointed to a folding fan, on which were written four large characters of goodness and water, and the handle of the fan was inlaid with magic gems, which should also be a magic weapon.
"You still use weapons?"
Li Mingyao looked at Zhao Ziheng in surprise, with his performance last night, he didn't need these things at all.
"Pretending to be forced."
With three simple words, Li Mingyao was speechless.
Then, Zhao Ziheng gently stabbed Li Mingyao with his elbow.
"What?" Lee Myung-yao's gaze became frightened.
"Pay!" Zhao Ziheng looked at Li Mingyao as a matter of course, joking, how could he be used as a gun for nothing?
Li Mingyao took a deep breath, told himself to calm down, and then took out the crystal card and handed it to the waiter.
"Brother, I want this."
Xiao Xiao's voice sounded beside him, and Li Mingyao turned sideways to look at the method introduction manual that Xiao Xiao pushed over.
"This and this~"
Xiao Xiao pointed to a magic called 'Luo Aquatic Flower', which was not too practical.
Zhao Ziheng frowned: "No-"
Then he felt the sharp gaze from Xiao Xiao, his tone paused, and the next sentence of 'I'll teach you' didn't come out.
"Okay, just say what you want."
Li Mingyao laughed, he was comfortable.
Then he picked out some things for Xiao Xiao to assist in cultivation, and after paying the money, the three of them walked towards the arcane monopoly area in the direction the waiter said.
During this time, I passed by a shop that sold magic armor.
The three of them stopped in unison.
Now on display is an ice-water skirt armor as thin as a cicada's wings, with streamers swaying with the tassels on the shoulders, and behind the armor is a gauzy ribbon.
The brand is Feng Yu, a famous brand specializing in the production of women's armor, and its defense power naturally does not need to be explained too much.
"Good looking is good looking, that is... It's too revealing. β
Li Mingyao muttered to himself.
"Ahhh
Xiao Xiao didn't notice what her brother was saying, and she had no chance to regret it after following it.
"No, I really want to see Xiao Xiao wear..."
Zhao Ziheng lowered his head and saw Xiao Xiao's frightened gaze like a frightened rabbit.
"It's too revealing." Zhao Ziheng's expression was correct, and he echoed.
She really likes that dress and armor, but it's one thing to like it, and it's another thing for the man in front of her to want to see her wear it!
Stinky man!
And the price... Xiao Xiao glanced at the price displayed under the skirt armor, and felt that it was not something she could afford now, and besides, she also chose a Luo Shui Shenghua that had little effect, so it was better not to be too greedy.
After getting the unanimous approval of the two people around him, Li Mingyao nodded with satisfaction and continued to walk towards the Arcane Monopoly Area.
Zhao Ziheng looked at the backs of the two, and then looked at the price under the skirt armor, and the hand holding the crystal card in his pocket was loose and tight.
In the end, he chose to walk into the armor shop.
The Arcane Monopoly is very deserted, and even if a few Arcane Mages occasionally stop by, none of them come to visit the Magic Shop Outlets.
Most of them came out of the inner wall to perform tasks, and the methods were all implemented and selected by themselves, and at most some consumables were replenished here.
And the waiter at the Famen sales point did not expect to welcome customers here today.
Xiao Xiao and Li Mingyao sat at the counter, drinking the juice sent by the waiter just now, dangling their white legs like little girls, not paying attention to Zhao Ziheng's sudden disappearance and sudden appearance just now.
Li Mingyao hooked the corners of his mouth, "Sample, let's spit out all the money that pit me." β
With such an idea, Li Mingyao's action of flipping through the manual couldn't help but be a little brisk.
His gaze rested on a method called Arcane Sword Wing.
Arcane sword wings belong to the armed type of magic, and after use, you can summon up to six arcane magic swords, these magic swords can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and when you escape, you can also turn into sword wings to increase the speed of the user, which can be said to be very comprehensive.
But there is a problem, that is, whether the user has the ability to manipulate these magic swords at the same time.
"This."
Li Mingyao thought about it for a moment, but decided to buy this method.
There are many low-level methods, but there are very few that can be used until the later stage, and the advanced methods in the later stage are extremely expensive, so it is still necessary to buy this magic.
Then, Li Mingyao bought a low-level method called the snake arc, and the two methods alone cost Li Mingyao 30,000 yuan.
There are more than 100,000 more on the crystal card.
"The arcane magic is expensive."
Li Mingyao shook his head helplessly, and led the three of them to the shop of magic weapons again.
He thought about it for a long time, as a sword-type Void Demon Martial Force, although he couldn't take it out in front of people, he would definitely still use it in times of crisis, if he suddenly changed his combat style at that time, would he be pitted by himself because he couldn't use Demon Martial Arts?
The answer is yes, so Li Mingyao plans to directly determine his fighting style - armed melee combat, and the weapon is naturally the sword.
I chose a standard general-purpose longsword with a reasonable price, and this time the big purchase is over.
"To the second floor?"
Li Mingyao looked at Zhao Ziheng with a smile.
"Nope."
Although he couldn't wait to imprint his fist on Lee Myung-yao's face, it was clear that there was more important things to solve now.
The three of them stood by the window on the third floor, looking at the bald brother who was sitting outside waiting for the three of them, as well as his little brothers.
"It's really revenge not overnight."
Li Mingyao sighed.
And Zhao Ziheng's expression was a little serious.
As a spirit, he could clearly feel that there was a person who was not much different from the bald brother's strength hidden in the crowd.
Just now, it was the bald enemy who was able to succeed with one blow, and next time, Zhao Ziheng may not have this opportunity.
He took out a ring from his pocket, the one he had just bought.
The dress is usually in the form of a ring, and the only way to do this is to press the gem on the ring when you use it.
Zhao Ziheng handed the ring to Xiao Xiao, but he didn't expect Xiao Xiao to take two steps back and shook his head.
"It's too expensive, I can't take it."
Zhao Ziheng, who did not have a deep understanding of the complexity of human beings, changed his face, and he thought that Xiao Xiao did not like his things.
What doesn't like him = doesn't like him as a person?
The sky is full of snowflakes, and there is a gust of cold wind-
"Xiao Xiao, take it, the two of us may not be able to take care of you later."
Lee Myung-yao's expression also became serious, and it was obvious that he had also noticed another master in the crowd.
Xiao Xiao was a little entangled, but after hesitating for a moment, he still accepted the skirt armor under Zhao Ziheng's expectant gaze.
"I'll pay you back." Xiao Xiao said with a red face and took the ring.
Crushed the two orbs, quickly digested the method they had just learned, and the three of them walked out of the door of the Magic Association together.
Li Mingyao walked at the front: "This is the gate of the Magic Association, Brother Wang... Not afraid to make a big deal out of it? β
The bald head looked at Li Mingyao in surprise, he didn't remember that he knew this kid.
"You are?"
"Jiang Feng."
Li Mingyao smiled and stretched out his hand to the bald head.
"Get out, your boss's hand is also something you can touch?"
The little brother next to him scolded, and the bald head didn't mean to shake hands and make peace.
Li Mingyao withdrew his hand in disdain.
"In Area A, I'm also the number one person, as long as it's not in it, I won't dare anyone to care if I kill you and hang you up."
A basket of cruel words.
"So what do you mean..."
"Simple."
The bald head spit out the half-smoked cigarette in his mouth: "Leave that little sister behind, and then accompany the labor and management to pay for mental damages." β
"Huh."
Li Mingyao smiled, and then said something that made the bald expression instantly cold.
"Are you your horse?"
Two arcane swords appeared beside him, flashing with dark blue light, and Li Mingyao pressed the ring in his hand, and the standard longsword appeared.
His arcane magic is obviously also infected by the Void, but the magic brilliance of the Arcane Magic Hair changes with the different personalities of the person who uses it, so Li Mingyao is not worried about being discovered by others using the Arcane Magic Hair.
"Offa? That's to blame you kid for being so horizontal. β
The bald head sneered, the street shook, and a large earth snake surrounded and poked its head out from under the ground.
"Steel Dragonβ"
A deep voice sounded from behind the bald head, and then, pieces of iron armor appeared on the earth serpent, and in an instant, it was armed into a hideous steel dragon.
Zhao Ziheng looked back at the inner wall of Xuanwu and exclaimed: "This is under the wall, and no one really cares?" β
Then, the water surged, and a faint blue light escaped from the eyes.
The flowing water is the blade, and the two refined water blades surround Zhao Ziheng, like a dexterous little snake.
The arcane sword disintegrated and attached to the water blade, and the momentum of the water blade increased greatly, and the original small snake turned into a dragon.
Li Mingyao's meaning was obvious, let him drag the steel-armored earth dragon.
A figure leaped out from behind the bald head and landed on the ground, shattering the ground.
"Oh, bald head with hair?"
Li Mingyao raised his eyebrows, it was the first time he had seen his bald twin brother.
Arcane β Serpent Arc!
Not in the mood to talk too much nonsense with the other party, Li Mingyao lowered his body and rushed out, but the blade of the sword was cut down from above, stabbing at Tie Nan's head like a snake's teeth.
"Wang Yi, let you know who killed you."
Wang Yi said, his deep voice as if it was buzzing in his chest.
The snake arc was blocked by Wang Yi's raised arm, which was wrapped in metal.
Then, the metal was forcibly broken by the snake arc, turning into pieces.
Wang Yi's face changed, he never expected that the long sword wrapped in arcane magic could not be disassembled by him.
Watching Wang Yi retreat, Li Mingyao took a step forward and swung his sword: Arcane - Mirror Break!
The metal shield in front of Wang Yi cracked, and a blood mark appeared on Wang Yi's forehead.
The two water Jiao were entangled with the steel-armored earth dragon, and the two sides fought evenly for a while.
Wang Yi touched his forehead, looked at the blood stains on his hands, and his face sank.
He beckoned, and followed his little brother around him towards Xiao Xiao.
"Wei Wei saved Zhao and played a lot of fun?"
Li Mingyao wanted to go to support Xiao Xiao, but Wang Yi quickly rushed up, and he was also suppressed by Wang Yi because he was distracted and observing Xiao Xiao's situation.
Only one of the younger brothers who rushed to Xiao Xiao was a mage, and it seemed that he had only awakened and could not be saved, but the gangsters around him with sticks and knives were the biggest threat to Xiao Xiao.
Luo Aquatic Flowers β
Xiao Xiao looked at the people around him, smiling evilly, forcing himself to calm down, and trying to communicate the method in his mind.
Three water lotus flowers appeared around Xiao Xiao, and then, the water lotus was like water bursting the embankment, and the lotus petals turned into water blades and shot out.
"Melt!"
Xiao Xiao clasped her hands together, and the water blade she shot turned into an ice pick in an instant, mercilessly stabbing at those who surrounded her.
However, after all, it was the first time to use magic, and it was still a step slower, except for one thug who was stabbed in the thigh with the same slow reaction as her, and everyone else was pushed to safety.
The next one who dared to face Xiao Xiao was the only magic apprentice who was also a novice.
After Uncle Xiao left, Xiao Xiao really grew a lot.
Li Mingyao retracted his mind, he noticed that Zhao Ziheng was also observing the battle situation there Xiao Xiao, and now what he had to do was to quickly get rid of Wang Yi, and then help Zhao Ziheng deal with the bald head together.
In fact, Zhao Ziheng was just intoxicated by Xiao Xiao's posture after putting on that skirt armor...
The horizontal sword blocked the iron fist that Wang Yi clenched with both hands, Li Mingyao turned around, and the blade cut through Wang Yi's lower abdomen, and then retreated from under the iron fist.
With void energy replacing blood, Li Mingyao's body's endurance and explosiveness can be said to far exceed the physical fitness of a magic apprentice.
The heart like a black hole was agitating, the void energy was flowing faster, and Li Mingyao's pupils were gradually covered in black.
"It's hot... It seems like to... Kill! β
Like a ghost, Li Mingyao's figure shuttled around Wang Yi, and the long sword either attached to the snake arc or attached to the mirror was broken, cutting through the defenses laid by Wang Yi again and again, and constantly cutting through Wang Yi's psychological defense.
The eyes that seemed to devour everything and the smiling face suddenly appeared in front of Wang Yi, but it quickly disappeared in an instant, and Wang Yi felt that he was fighting a ghost.
His gaze kept scanning his surroundings, but he couldn't see anything but the layers of figures.
Li Mingyao's pace stopped, but the arcane longsword attached to the water blade flew back and landed on his standard longsword, the mirror was broken, and his cold gaze locked on Wang Yi's back.
This sword will be understood together!
Feeling that his water blade suddenly weakened, Zhao Ziheng quickly retracted his mind, and while dealing with the frontal battlefield that suddenly increased the pressure, he looked at Li Mingyao to see what he was doing.
But he saw a scene that he would never forget.
Like a tiger flying and a dragon going out to sea, although Wang Yi discovered Li Mingyao's attack in time and laid down one steel shield after another, those defenses turned into nothingness under Li Mingyao's sword.
With a sword slash, Wang Yi's head flew out, and to death, his eyes were still full of disbelief.
Li Mingyao stopped with a sliding step, the arcane sword flew out to strengthen the water blade again, and Li Mingyao himself pounced on the bald head like a ghost.
"Damn."
The bald head looked at his younger brother's head in a different place without the slightest sadness, anyway, he was a chess piece to maintain his rule, but this chess piece still had some strength, but now it was killed by others, and the bald head only felt humiliated and angry.
The steel armor collapsed, the earth dragon fell, and the earth element condensed into stone thorns and fell like rain.
There is a secluded pool in the heart to stop the waterββ
The movement of the stone thorn slowed down under the organization of the blue water curtain, and Li Mingyao's long sword was already close in front of him.
The brown light lit up, and an unnamed tombstone rose, its defense was a few points stronger than Wang Yi's steel armor defense.
Several swords were slashed, the nameless tombstone was broken, and the bald figure had disappeared.
And the stone thorns that those elements turned into dust were all turned into flying dust.
And those thugs who followed also chose to flee in all directions after seeing their thighs running away.
"Running fast, I'll look for you later."
The corners of Li Mingyao's mouth hooked, and he turned his head to look at Xiao Xiao and Zhao Ziheng who had caught up, Li Mingyao smiled and rubbed Xiao Xiao's hair.
He was very satisfied with Xiao Xiao's performance today, and as for the plan to discuss with Zhao Ziheng, it seemed that it could only be placed tonight.
