Volume 1 The Lonely Arcane Road 021 Avenue to Jane

A few days later.

Charlie's experiments bore fruit, and when Yolanda passed the news to Master Ron, the archmage stopped all his work and rushed to the bloody konjac cultivation room to verify his results.

Push open the door, the first sight of the bloody konjac that grows to about 1.3 meters, without any detection spells, just from the color and shape of the leaves, the fullness of the flowers, you can feel the good growth state of this konjac.

Ron asked, "It's only been three days, and it's ...... How can you grow so tall? Do you use all the growth scrolls?"

Yolanda smiled: "Teacher, none of those scrolls are useless to us, but we used some other methods, in order to cultivate it, I privately used some magical beasts from the farm, the most expensive is the three-headed demon armor wild boar, estimated that the cost is about 1200 gold coins, and I want to report to the teacher." ”

"It's up to you to decide the little things. Ron listened carefully, then waved his hand and said, "But, why do you use some magical beasts?!"

Yolanda glanced at Charlie on the side and said, "I'm afraid I have to let the junior explain his thoughts to you, I'm just helping him run errands." ”

This senior sister doesn't take credit, it's more likable.

Zha thought for a moment and muttered: "Before this, I basically tried all the methods that I could use in the field of horticulture and herbalism, and at most I could only make its vitality stop flowing, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't produce better results."

It just so happened that my senior sister reminded me that there was an inspiration in my mind, maybe we can't just treat it as a plant, and many attack methods show that it is a very dangerous type of predator, why is the predator so weak? so vulnerable?

Thinking about it this way, returning to the instinct of animals, this conjecture is logical, perhaps because of ...... It's hungry. ”

"It's hungry!tsk!" Ron clapped his hands and burst out laughing, "A topic that has stumped thousands of high-level alchemists in the empire, the truth is so simple, and if it is announced, I don't know how many people will break their glasses." ”

Charlie couldn't help but interject: "The road is simple, but it is easier said than done." ”

"Well said!" Ron's eyes lit up, and he said loudly, "What a simple road!"

Yolanda smiled and said, "The junior brother is really talented! The teacher can finally rest assured, and His Excellency Randolph will be very happy to know about this." ”

Ron bowed slightly, and said, "Yes, it may not be announced, but in exchange, we will get a large material reward."

You should remember what I mentioned earlier, and why do I attach so much importance to this task? Now I can tell you, as soon as you hear it, you should increase your knowledge and don't spread it. ”

The two students nodded their heads.

Ron Zhengse said: "This is actually a request from the Monteil Sanctuary, through the channel of the thousand-year-old imperial royal family and the channel of the Imperial Magic Guild, to release the task, basically the alchemists above the third level of the empire have actively or passively received the task, which is considered a semi-mandatory task, you can imagine how powerful the force behind it is."

The rhizome of the bloody konjac can alleviate the symptoms of a certain poison, the older the rhizome, the better the effect, there is no other drug with a similar effect, the demand for the bloody konjac in the Montey Sanctuary is a lot, this demand may be related to politics, I don't know the specific details, you just have an impression.

So, you should understand its value and significance. ”

Charlie couldn't help but ask, "What kind of organization is the Montey Sanctuary, and why is it so influential?"

It's no wonder that Charlie asks so much, he is not a person in the circle, and he generally does not know that it exists.

Ron glanced at him, "I don't know if it's your crooked fight, the average person will think it's a place name when they hear the Montey Sanctuary, only you think it's an organization." ”

Yolanda couldn't help but interject, "yes! I think so too, why is it an organization?"

Charlie smiled and said, "Intuitive!"

Ron continued, "You should know that the Millennium Empire has three huge forces: the Magic Guild, the Holy Blade, and the Imperial Family.

The Magic Guild is a voluntary organization dedicated to the development and research of magical applications, improving lives, and changing the status of magicians.

The Holy Blade is a religion with influence across the continent, its history dates back hundreds of years, and it is the agent of the main god Kloz Grim Edge in the mortal world, because Kloz is the strongest of all the plane gods, so the most powerful. In the Wagram continent, there are a total of seven countries that have made the Church of the Holy Edge the state religion, and the Millennium Empire is the largest.

The imperial family has the weakest foundation among these three forces, although it is named the 'Millennium Empire', but in fact, the current His Majesty Charles the Great is the third generation of emperors, and the history of the empire is less than a hundred years.

The feud between the royal family and the Holy See has a long history, because the Holy See usually intervenes in the country's politics and management, strives for legal and policy favors, so as to maintain the unique influence of the Holy Edge Church, and its influence on the general public is also not underestimated by the royal family, so they are naturally entangled and antagonistic.

However, from the current point of view, the relationship between the Holy See and the royal family this time is relatively close, with little confrontation and a lot of cooperation. The reason is very simple, today's Holy Blade Church is becoming more and more cowardly, and there are more and more concessions, the fundamental reason is that the plane lord god Kloz has not sent down an oracle for nearly a hundred years, and some forces have begun to try to challenge the majesty of the Holy Blade Church, so as to test the state of the gods in the heavenly kingdom. ”

Hearing this, Yolanda was very curious, this is a secret that only the upper class can know, she has not had the opportunity to listen to it before, it is a very special care, Master Ron has never been so patient with other apprentices. However, what Yulanda did not understand was why the son of the Iron Princess, did not understand these political common senses, although she did not know, she was just a child of ordinary working class.

Charlie asked, "Are there really gods in the world, and where do they come from?"

To be honest, convincing an atheist of such a set of reasons is somewhat subverting his worldview.

Ron bowed his head and said: "There really is! Most of them are the old powerhouses of the Wagland continent, the legend of the gods began a thousand years ago, someone found some ancient classics in an unknown ruin, written in the oldest Rhine language, and after translating it, it was found that it was an epic of the gods, it is said that these verses hide a shocking secret, the continent powerhouses have tried to comprehend, many people have not yet understood anything, they are crazy, including some of the continent's most peak powerhouses.

It is like a thing with a unique vitality, and anyone who can't withstand its power will die a miserable death, and it is such an epic that has weakened the force of the entire continent by nearly forty percent.

A very small number of people succeeded, and after a few years, they appeared and became the first gods on the mainland, and history calls this period of time the 'road to the gods', and it was from that time that Kloz got up. ”

"So, successful people are talented and strong, right?"

Ron shook his head: "On the contrary, the peak powerhouses recognized by the continent and the strongest with the best talent have fallen, but it is those middle-of-the-road people who are greedy for life and afraid of death and love to play clever have survived and completed the ceremony of becoming gods." ”

"Why is that?"

"I don't know. ”

Charlie could tell that Master Ron was not interested in these gods, and he asked, "What about ...... Is there an example in history of a magician being a god?"

"No, we are on a completely different path from the gods, we have power by understanding and learning the rules, and those gods are by seducing ordinary people, feeding on their faith, growing stronger, accumulating little things, and finally reaching a certain level. Ron smiled and said, "Charlie, you have to remember: we are magicians, we have basic ethics, and we must be distinguished from some parasites.

Even if they are stronger than us, there is no need to envy them, let alone worship them, because the power of the most powerful magicians is not weaker than that of a god, and we have a future that is constantly evolving.

If you've seen the Arcane Ring's archmagisters, you'll know I'm right.

It turns out that when the gods begin to rely on sentient beings, there is only one way for them, that is, to compete for faith, which is why the Holy Blade Church is so keen on politics for a month, the pattern of the Wagland continent reflects the pattern of the gods of the heavenly kingdom to a certain extent, between gods and gods, there is only war. ”

Yolanda stuck out her tongue secretly, she grew up in a civilian area, which was heavily influenced by the church, and it was still difficult to accept this kind of rebellious concept.

Seeing that the two of them were lost in thought, Ron said, "Okay, let's get back to the topic."

Charlie, you sort out the cultivation method, I will operate for you, and strive to get your own remuneration from above, this is a material reward, in addition, I believe that this article will definitely be on the 'Today's Alchemy News', boy, you wait to be famous!"

Yolanda asked, "Didn't the teacher say that this method would not be published?"

"The method will not be announced, but the results will be announced, and the two channels will put an end to this task, and of course it needs to be publicized. ”

Yolanda smiled: "That's really a good opportunity, the junior is so young, he can go to the biggest media in the empire and become famous in one fell swoop, it's really amazing!"

Unexpectedly, Charlie shook his head when he heard this.

Yolanda was anxious, for fear that the teacher would misunderstand, so she hurriedly asked, "Charlie, this is a great opportunity, don't you thank the teacher for his selfless cultivation?"

Charlie said firmly: "Teacher, I hope you don't publish articles in my name. ”

"Why?"

"I'm not ready to be famous. ”

Ron glared at him and said, "Speak human." ”

Charlie said helplessly: "Teacher, based on my current situation, I don't want to attract too much attention, especially before I have the power to protect myself.

So, this time, I also asked the teacher to help publish on my behalf, of course, I will not refuse material rewards, after all, I am now in a state of punishment, and my financial situation is not good. ”

Hearing this, Ron's expression was relieved, and he said with a smile: "Charlie, this is a very rare opportunity, don't miss it, not everyone has the opportunity to be on today's alchemy newspaper, once you become famous, there will be many benefits on the road to study in the future, in order not to regret it in the future, you can't refuse this opportunity."

Besides, you are now my disciple, and whoever wants to target you must also consider my feelings! Even if they don't take me seriously, I still have His Excellency Randolph behind me, and you are already registered with my teacher, who remembers that I have taken such a talented apprentice. ”

"No, this is my request! I have made a decision!" Charlie shook his head firmly again and said with a smile: "Moreover, I have another reason, if this matter is brought forward by the teacher, I believe that the benefits will be maximized, if the protagonist is me, it will not be treated so well, why save money for others?"

Yolanda didn't quite understand the allusion here, but she didn't ask, it was a game played by high society.

Ron smiled and nodded at him, "You, sure enough, you won't let others take advantage of you." ”

Charlie smiled: "The big man has money, and we just get our share of it." ”

Ron restrained his smile and said, "Since you have already made a decision, I will not insist on it, this time the teacher will accept your favor, and I will find a way to compensate for your loss." ”

This is truly enviable!

Yolanda is happy for this student in her heart, the teacher gets the benefit, and students like them will follow suit, and everything is Charlie's credit.
