Volume 1 Lonely Arcane Road 022 Deluxe Gear
Before you have enough power, you must first learn to hide yourself, which is Charlie's philosophy of life.
With his mind and the knowledge accumulated on the earth, there must be more opportunities in the future, so Charlie gave this opportunity to his teacher, and at the same time, it was also a test to see if Master Ron's heart was worth following.
Yolanda brought a newspaper and said to Charlie excitedly: "Junior brother, look! The latest Today's Alchemy Newspaper has a headline on the front page, and the newspaper also has a magical image of the teacher receiving a commendation in the Alchemy Guild. ”
It is also a very lively and interesting medium, Charlie picked up the newspaper and carefully watched the unique black technology of this world.
The paper is parchment, smooth and strong, the writing is textured, and it can fully present the fullness and layering of the ink, which is a pleasant enjoyment for the feel and vision.
Charlie shifted his attention to the newspaper, and on the front page, a huge headline suddenly grabbed his eye: "The secret that has been sleeping for thousands of years has finally been cracked, and the strength of the third-order alchemist inherits the mantle of alchemy master."
In the lower right corner of the title is an intricate inscription of dark blue, shimmering with eyes that are charming.
Charlie couldn't help but touch it with his fingers, and suddenly felt that an image was projected above the newspaper, which was the communication image between Master Ron and many authoritative masters in the alchemy world, and it was the most wonderful fragment of it.
Not long after, Ron arrived, followed by an apprentice with a delicate box in his hand.
Ron asked, "Read today's paper?"
Charlie nodded.
Ron said in a deep voice, "Shame on you! Lie in front of so many people and claim your achievements." The other day, I also punished Martin, but a few days later, I did the same thing myself. ”
Charlie didn't expect him to have such a sense of justice as a teacher, and he didn't want Ron to feel guilty.
Charlie shook his head and said, "Of course it's different, Martin is a subjective act, and you are doing me a favor, this is my request, and the nature is completely different." ”
Still, Ron was haunted and couldn't let go.
Charlie changed his words and said: "Actually, the teacher doesn't have to feel too guilty, if the teacher doesn't have this botanical garden, doesn't have the perennial investment, and doesn't have the painstaking management, how can he get this opportunity, and how can he seize this opportunity?"
There is a good saying: any success is not accidental, and half of the teacher's harvest today is your credit. ”
No success is accidental, Ron listened and was stunned, he was often surprised by the golden sentences that came out of Charlie's mouth.
Ron grasped the sentence and chewed it carefully, and muttered, "It makes sense. ”
Seeing the smile on his face, Charlie knew that he had crossed this psychological threshold.
"Do you regret it?"
"Not at all, it's good that the teacher went, otherwise I would have been miserable!"
Ron was surprised, "What do you mean? Are you stage frightened? I don't see it at all. ”
"Teacher, have you forgotten why I was kicked out by the Pavel family?"
"Oh~hehe!" Ron immediately thought of the reason, nodded at him with a smile, shook his head and said, "It turns out that it's Princess Elsa, you're really bold! Who doesn't mess with her?!"
Charlie said helplessly: "Teacher, I told you that I was framed." ”
Ron disagreed: "If you really walk properly, how can you be framed by villains?! ”
This is indeed the truth, the Grand Duke also said so, Charlie only nodded.
"Whatever the reason, you shouldn't provoke her, because she may well be the most powerful woman in the empire for the next millennium. Ron suddenly became serious and said, "Don't underestimate this princess, although she is a woman, she is also a person with ideas, ambitions and abilities, look at what she has done in recent years."
Founded two newspapers, established an authoritative position in academia, promoted changes in the imperial magic and alchemy industries, and maintained good relations with many of the industry's biggest names;
Establish the Millennium Business Alliance, set new industry standards, and fight your father's Gold Coast Trade Alliance, a giant that makes a name for itself.
Think about it for yourself, magic and alchemy are related to the military strength of the empire, and they have always been politically sensitive areas, and they are also forbidden areas for the daughters and marginal princes among His Majesty's heirs, but her entry point is the media, and she does not directly control the relevant institutions of magic and alchemy, so she cleverly avoids the political minefield, and successfully gains significant influence, and does some real big things, why doesn't Your Majesty like it?
Let me tell you a secret, it is said that her royal brothers value her very much, not only because she is good-looking and likable, but more importantly, because she values her auxiliary ability, and even His Majesty has considered changing the rules that royal ladies are not allowed to participate in politics, which is the rule formulated by Peter, the founding emperor of the Millennium Empire. ”
Charlie sighed: "If it weren't for her greatness, if it weren't for her teacher's greatness." ”
Ron laughed, "Why do I sound sour?"
Charlie sneered: "Teacher, don't mention her again, it was a misunderstanding, and it's over, I don't think I'm likely to have anything to do with her in my life." ”
Seeing that he was afraid to avoid it, Ron smiled and said: "I'm just giving you a reminder, if you have a chance to meet in the future, you must remember my words, if you have no intention of entering politics, try to stay away from her, she is not a woman that ordinary men can control." ”
Charlie nodded.
Then, Ron beckoned back, and the apprentice beside him brought the box up.
Ron said: "This time the teacher wants to thank you, not to mention the awards that may be won in the future, just in terms of reputation, it is a huge benefit for me and my teacher, His Excellency Randolph."
I would like to express my personal gratitude first, and if I win certain awards, I will compensate you accordingly, and you know, until then, I am not sure what I will gain, so I can't cash in early......"
Charlie was quite moved, a teacher like this is rare on earth, Charlie has seen a lot of teachers in his previous life, he will regard the achievements of his apprentices as his own achievements, take it for granted, if the apprentice has an opinion, he will even design a frame, so that the latter can not gain a foothold in the industry, and the behavior is embarrassing.
Charlie stopped him from explaining and said, "Thank you, teacher, the teacher doesn't have to be so serious, I don't need so many things, besides, it is already a great blessing for me to be able to learn from the teacher, and I still have to pay tuition to the teacher!"
Ron raised his hand to stop: "Regarding the tuition, your father has already promised, one yard to one yard." Don't be in a hurry to refuse, they will definitely be useful, you can never estimate how much it will cost to cultivate a qualified magician, and when you start spending money, you will understand. ”
As he spoke, Ron opened the box and revealed a pile of neatly arranged things, and before he could introduce it, Yolanda couldn't help but cover her mouth and let out an exclamation.
"'The best deadwood staff', 'Blanche's magic robe', 'tassel boots', oh my God! This is the high-end outfit standard of Hennes magicians!" "Yolanda swept away her usual calm and capable image, her eyes lit up, her hands didn't know what to do, she wanted to touch it, but she didn't dare.
Ron nodded, smiling without saying a word, and before he could explain, Yolanda couldn't help but start introducing the equipment to Charlie.
"Senior brother, you used to envy my deadwood staff, but now it's okay, the teacher directly gave you a top-quality deadwood staff, which doesn't seem to be different in appearance, but the size is larger and the skin is rougher.
However, I tell you that the greatest value of the deadwood is in the vintage, it is a very slow-growing plant, it can only grow half a finger in a year, like this staff used at least thirty-year-old deadwood.
The older the deadwood, the better the magic guide and magic carrying capacity, conservatively estimated, its magic capacity reaches more than 250 units, close to a third-order magician mana pool, and the magic guide is better than other low-level magic equipment, almost completely bursting the staff below 20,000 gold coins. ”
Yolanda hugged her staff and muttered, "Hmm!
Hearing this, Charlie retrieved the deadwood staff from her hand, and an indescribable feeling wrapped his palm, like putting his hand in the cool spring water, which made people feel the full magic energy contained in the entire staff before he could drive the spiritual power to mobilize the magic power.
Ron explained, "Yolanda's assessment is still a bit conservative, its prefix is not the best, but excellent, a product of the Arcane Ring.
In terms of basic attributes, there is not much difference between Excellence and Extreme, the mana pool of this Deadwood Staff reaches 285 magic units, and the magic guide coefficient is 6.5, giving you two comparative references: Yolanda's Deadwood Staff mana pool is 110 units and a magic guide coefficient of 2, and Jordan's staff has a mana pool of 60 units and a magic guide factor of 1, which means at least 4.5 times the magic capacity and 6.5 times the mana extraction speed compared to Jordan's staff.
And in terms of additional attributes, the superior prefix means two passive attributes and one active skill.
It is engraved with inscriptions such as "Concentration" and "Magic Focus" to improve concentration and reduce the natural dissipation of mana.
And its active skill is "Mana Storm", which is a third-order compound magic array. ”
Yolanda covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Ahhhh
Charlie asked curiously, "What, is it special?"
Ron explained, "For a junior mage, it's a double-edged sword, and if you don't use it well, you're likely to hurt yourself, but for a high-level mage, it's a game-changing hole card.
Its main function is to drain all the mana in the staff in 3 seconds, what will happen? ”
Yolanda explained, "This will take on a state of overflowing mana, which will passively cause the super-magical effects of 'magic boost' and 'magic heavy attack', and even induce 'spell upgrade'.
Of course, there is a certain risk that if the caster is not skilled enough to manipulate the mana and does not release the mana in time, the phenomenon of mana backlash may occur. ”
"Yes, everything has two sides, it depends on your ability to control, if you master it well, it may be a means for you to save your life in a crisis situation; ”
Yolanda added: "And from the best to the best, the gap is the addition of magic arrays, more active and passive skills, and this is often a qualitative leap, and the price will increase at least tenfold." ”
In this way, it is conservatively estimated that this staff alone is worth 200,000 gold coins, and the archmage's action is really extraordinary.
For the other two pieces of equipment, Ron didn't let Yolanda continue to guess, and said directly: "'Blanche's Tailor' is Hennes's signature, and the magic robes it sells are the signature of the signboards, which is the standard equipment of the Empire's powerful beginner magicians, so I won't say much."
It's a pity that the robes of excellent quality have been sold out, and this one is superb.
As for the other piece of equipment, Yolanda confessed that it was not an ordinary tassel boot, but a "superior tassel boot", with a prefix, which means at least 3 times the performance increase of ordinary shoes, and a built-in skill "Feather Fall", when the boots are full of energy, they can be used three times featherfall, each lasting 10 seconds, and can accept any regular charging method. ”
Yolanda's eyes lit up with golden light, and she exclaimed: "Wow! Two excellent, one superb, what a luxurious suit! Junior is equipped, I'm afraid his strength is no less than a first-level magician, right? Luck, maybe even a second-level mage is not your opponent, and the super magic effect of rapid spell casting and magic efficiency is piled up, and it is not a joke." ”
Master Ron laughed and said, "It's almost! In a duel between low-level mages, the key to victory or defeat is not the spell level, nor the size of the mana pool, but who can shoot fast."
Charlie's spell casting speed is the strongest below that of a third-order mage, and coupled with the passive magic enhancement, a beginner-level mage with average equipment is really not his opponent. ”
Charlie's heart was happy, but he could also control Feiyang's emotions, he put away the box, and said calmly: "After all, it's just a foreign object, and it can't hide the fact that I'm a magic apprentice who doesn't store any magic power." ”
"I'm glad you recognize that. ”
"So, what is the teacher's plan for me next?"
Ron asked, "Remember the two options I mentioned earlier?"
"Of course I do. ”
"Now tell me your answer!" Ron's eyes burned, waiting for Charlie's choice.
If you can't achieve extraordinary, how can you survive under the calculations of the mastermind behind the scenes? How can you deter the people of the Pavel family? And what capital can you use to solve the mystery of your mother's death? Charlie was a person who was not to be left behind in his previous life, how could he endure a mediocre ending!
Charlie met Ron's gaze and said solemnly, "I choose the Arcane Ring." ”
A wry smile appeared on Ron's face, "I'm starting to regret offering the second option, okay! Since you've made your choice, then I'll arrange the rest, and you only have one day to prepare." ”
