On the way, the priest Nordif, who received Dilitan's orders, bullied Bai Gang and didn't understand anything, so he generously walked up to Bai Gang and released [Detect Evil] at him, but naturally there was no response.

White Steel rode up to the mage Annu and walked side by side with him.

"Master Annu, shouldn't this be the territory of the undead, why are there only so few skeletons?"

Anu said, "They should all be dragged to Echo Canyon by high-level undead, after all, they don't need to guard the border like our human kingdom." ”

"That means you won't be in much danger until you reach the portal, right?"

"Pretty much, it's often like this in the realm of the undead, either in a sparse small group, or in large numbers."

"Since there isn't much danger, would you mind instructing me in magic, Master Annu? I want to add a little more power before I get to the portal. ”

Anu thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "By the way, you said that you know [Heavenly Force], and you have a talent for magic. I'm sorry, I've always thought of you as a swordsman, and I almost forgot that you can actually use magic. ”

Although he didn't show it on his face, Annu really didn't think much of Bai Gang's so-called magical talent, he was almost thirty years old, and he could only have a [God-given power], what else could he expect from this kind of magic qualification?

Speaking of which, although this earl has a righteous heart and is willing to go with them on this expedition of nine deaths, his strength is too poor.

Magic only understands the lowest level of [God-given power], and swordsmanship doesn't know how to fight, which is completely inadequate! No matter how well you practice, you can only protect yourself in front of the low-level undead.

God knows what kind of ordeal this Earl's magic and swordsmanship instructor went through before.

The mage Annu was organizing a rhetoric to tactfully reject White Steel, but before he could speak, White Steel took off his mechanical watch and handed it to him.

"It's a gift of mine, and it's going to be the cost of learning magic."

Mage Annu looked at the thing in Bai Gang's hand, it was a very delicate mechanical item, but there was no magic fluctuation on it, it should not be a magic item.

Annu was not interested in this non-magical item at first, but after hearing Bai Gang's introduction, his face changed drastically.

"It's a small, lightweight, accurate timekeeping tool."

"Timing tool?"

Mage Anu stared at his watch strangely, he knew some about the timing tools, but without exception they were all magic items that used very sophisticated magic arrays, and their common feature was - big! Even the lightest ones are the size of a wardrobe.

But what about this now......

Well, it's not without small timekeeping tools, such as the hourglass, but the precision of that kind of thing is not mentioned at all, and I don't know how accurate this White Earl can be.

"The way we keep time in China is to divide the day into 24 hours, and then each hour has 60 minutes, and each minute has 60 seconds, and you see the three hands here, and they represent the hour, the minute, and the second. This watch can walk for years without a second, as long as you wind it in time. ”

Mage Anu was taken aback, when! Divide! Second! He never thought that time could be divided so meticulously!

Ordinary magic timers are only accurate to this level at most, and they have to be recalibrated in less than ten days, not to mention the sheer size of those magic timers, which greatly limits the use of magic timers.

But now, if everything is exactly what White Steel says, then this timer is a priceless treasure for alchemists! Even an alchemy apprentice understands the importance of precise time control for alchemy!

Mage Anu swallowed, he wanted to hold the watch in his hand very, very much, but ...... The other party just wants to learn some simple battlefield magic from him! Take a few apprentice-level battlefield magic in exchange for a priceless treasure...... This is so unauthentic! It is also not in line with Annu's principles of life!

After thinking about it, he still accepted the white steel watch, this kind of magical treasure can be encountered but not sought, if he gives it up, I am afraid he will regret it for the rest of his life!

"Great, teach him some more magic and help him find some magic items, if we all survive......"

Mages are generally arrogant, even to nobles, but Annu is an exception.

He didn't have the arrogant temper of other mages, and he knew that having a good relationship with the nobles could be a great help for him, as evidenced by the fact that he had run out of the mage tower to serve as a mage advisor to the Karazek family.

But although Annu is willing to spend time dealing with nobles, it doesn't mean that he has mastered the skills of dealing with nobles, and coupled with the arrogance engraved in the bones of the mages, this makes his communication quite "straightforward", even if he tries to organize words, it can still be a little uncomfortable.

But who made him a mage, compared to other high-ranking people who didn't even bother to give a straight eye, listening to Annu's straightforwardness was actually a blessing for the nobles.

"Count White, hmm...... Forgive my straightforwardness, but given that you have only learned the magic of Heavenly Power in twenty years, I have to say that your magical talent is not good. ”

Bai Gang didn't know how to react to Annu's judgment, although this made him uncomfortable, but in fact, he had no idea about his magical strength at all.

In his previous life, he was only able to learn magic because of Storm Base's "Magician Mass Production Plan".

At that time, after the researchers at the base discovered an ancient ruin that could guide people to awaken their magical talents, they began to send people into the ruins in large quantities, hoping to harvest a magician army, and Baigang was one of them.

In the ruins, Bai Gang saw the illusion left by the ancient aliens, and under the guidance of the illusion, he felt that a certain power in his body was stimulated, and then followed the illusion to learn the [Heavenly Power] magic.

The so-called magic is actually trying to control the magic power in the body to form a certain shape of spell circuit, and then compress and release, and finally the desired spell effect comes out.

It's easy to say, but it's actually far from easy.

First of all, there are very few people who can awaken their magical talents, and only one or two out of a hundred people on average. And talent alone is not enough, the spirit is not stable enough, the will is not strong enough, and it is impossible to control the magic power to complete the configuration of the spell circuit, and the subsequent compression is extremely mentally draining.

In addition, the configuration of the spell circuit is a complex three-dimensional structure, which cannot be built without a certain amount of spatial imagination, and if the imagination is too poor, it will also seriously drag down the casting speed, and if you want to further increase the construction speed, the spatial geometry must not be bad.

To become a magician, you must have the will of a fighter, the imagination of an artist, and the calculation and rigor of a mathematician......

Therefore, the number of participants in the mass production plan at that time was 8,000, but the number of mages obtained in the end was only 34 people, and the magic that everyone learned was a [God-given power] that did not have much effect, and could not effectively improve the combat ability of the army, plus the materials of the base at that time had no way to support the continued research, and the troops were in urgent need of manpower, so the plan was stopped, and the 34 mages went back and forth from where, and Bai Gang also returned to his own troops, and finally died on the battlefield.
