Chapter 1169: Queue up to turn it in
"I... I made it!"
Mage Dalles looked excitedly at the dimensional rift in front of him - his face was full of stubble, he was wearing a worthless gray robe, and his identity was an unpopular mage in the Karen Kingdom, his level was not high, and he barely stepped into the high-level threshold.
Being able to open the "Plane Portal" at this time is not all his own credit, of course, but because Dalce discovered a High Elf Ruins near his magic tower two years ago, and excavated a magic circle in it that can be used to connect to the plane.
It took him more than a year to figure out how to activate the circle, because the situation in the kingdom had changed drastically, and it was only natural that Darles, as a "high-level mage", would have to side with him - but before he could enjoy anything on the side of the old nobles, he found that the royal family had fallen.
Previously, because the power of the nobility was recycled and the income declined, the nobles who funded him had to choose to stop the supply of funds, and Dalles was forced to choose to roll the cover and pave people and make another way to make a living...
Now he makes a living selling engraved circles and scrolls, squatting in a stone tower in a wasteland where birds don't.
Therefore, the place where he is can only be called the "Mage Tower", which is not the same thing as the "magic tower" of Elson City and Houllier City, and belongs to the real "mage living tower"... Except for the simple laboratory, there is no other superfluous function.
And now after studying the words of the high elves for a long time, Darles actually hit it crookedly and really activated the magic circle... But the price of the "charged spar" he used was too expensive, and in addition to being able to activate it, no matter what he did in the future, he had to go bankrupt to continue to buy more spars to support it.
But Darles didn't think about what was in the other plane at this time, he watched the light of the magic circle light up, and his heart suddenly became excited, because this thing was taken to a nearby town to be sold, and he would definitely have follow-up funds to continue to support spell research!
He knew very well that the limit of his ability was there, the topic of "plane teleportation" was a problem that needed to be considered by the dragon and the magister level, he had no money or resources alone, even if he wanted to, he couldn't afford it, and now he was purely "trying to activate" it, confirming that the magic circle was indeed no problem, and he was full of joy and planned to close the magic circle...
But halfway through the action, Darles suddenly glanced up at the vague brilliance of the rift in the plane in front of him—he felt that he had suddenly had some bold idea: if he could scrape together enough hedron and try to explore the plane at that location, he might be able to get more rare treasures in exchange for more gold...
It's an inexhaustible treasure, so why sell it outright?
"yes..."
Dalles blinked, feeling like he was short-sighted. So he closed the circle, intending to see how many hedras he could buy, but when his eyes swept over the table, he remembered that he hadn't read the newspaper sent by the servant today, and what kind of circle seemed to be printed on the cover.
He picked it up and glanced at it, and found that the front page read "Holier City's Magic Items and Props Fair is expected to open within the month".
The magic circle in the picture is a relic of the "high elf" period with a similar style to the one in front of him, and the small print below reads: "Whether it is innovative manufacturing or perennial antiques, buyers will be found in Hollier City, and the late magic circle of the high elves in the picture is currently sold at the 'Silver Wings' auction house at a transaction price of 150,000 cartons." ”
"Boom-"
Dalston swallowed, because he now knew that the value of "Ka Yuan" was very amazing, 150,000 Ka Yuan was enough for him to arm his laboratory to the teeth, and even save a small "magic tower"!
The thought before was still swirling in my heart, after all, no one could say what was on the other end of the portal, what if I could sell it for tens of thousands of calories if I made a few points?
But when he opened the newspaper and saw the second page, Darles immediately gave up this idea: because this "fair" is classified in detail, from the magic circle scroll to the living demonic beast, to the rare magic crystal or energy body, there is a special identification and exhibition venue, and the people who will be reviewed and evaluated at that time are all magic masters and even dragons, and the "space teleportation circle" is highlighted——" After being verified to be able to communicate with the alien plane, the seller can obtain the title of Honorary Mage of Holier City and the opportunity to enter the magic tower for further study for one year, all expenses will be borne by the Magic Research Department of the Cullen Kingdom... The message is effective today. ”
Seeing this, Dalles didn't say a word, packed up his things and left the mage tower with the magic circle.
Rather than collecting expensive charged hedrons to try and activate an unknown circle, he felt that it would be more correct to hand over the things directly to Holier City - in this way, the consequences of his failure to stand in line could not only be written off, but he could even get the opportunity to study for free room and board, and free tuition...
It's not something money can buy!
Now everyone knows that "Houllier City" is the magic center of the entire kingdom and even the world, as a person in the "mage circle", Dalles is of course more touched by this: the latest magic theory, the principle of the magic circle, and even the "copyright law" to protect the mage's invention and other measures have been implemented from Houllier City, and the interests of the mages have been protected unprecedentedly, and the overall academic level has made great strides in two years.
Dalles, as a high-ranking mage standing at the very edge of the circle, has realized... If you don't keep up, you are likely to be thrown off this high-speed chariot and completely fall behind the times!
So he was a little anxious at this time, and after realizing that he could catch up with Hollier City, Dalles couldn't wait to fly directly over now.
Obviously, under the long-term publicity, the exemplary effect and authority of Holier City have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. As soon as Dalles made his decision, he began to pack his clothes, take a few days' worth of dry food, and leave the Mage Tower as if he were on a pilgrimage, taking his only apprentice with him... Or rather, the servant went on the road.
He thought that he would have to charter a carriage and spend a lot of money to reach Hollier City on the other side of the kingdom, but he didn't expect that after arriving in a nearby town, he learned that the "road" now runs through the east and west of the kingdom, and there is a kingdom's "transportation company" to carry out experimental passenger transportation and open passenger seats.
Dalles consulted about the price and found that it was nearly seventy percent cheaper to take this kind of "public carriage" than his own chartered car, so he spent money to buy a ticket, and then arrived at a post called "Mission Must Be Achieved". Early the next morning, under the reminder of the staff, he carried his luggage and took his servants to board the "long-distance carriage" with six wheels and capable of carrying 12 people at a time.
Thanks to the metal bearings and lubricating oil maintenance, the carriage traveled faster and more smoothly than Dalles had imagined. After only two days of sitting and changing horses four times at the halfway station, the carriage followed the straight road and reached the city of Houllier.
Along the way, Darles did feel that his surroundings were becoming more and more desolate, but as soon as he entered Evta, the smoke of the fields and countless villages that covered his vision made his mouth open wide.
After arriving at the "Holy Land" of Hollier City, he found that everything here was even more exaggerated than he imagined - the density of mages in the city was incredibly high, and when he found the official "Plane Circle Identification Office" of Holier City, he found that he still had to get a number and queue up!
Because the people who came to "hand in" the teleportation circle have already begun to line up.
