Chapter 40: Redeeming the Magic Core
Viscount Kebby was so shocked by Riley's audacity that he actually wanted to kill Mark in the barracks. You must know that in the military camp at this time, there are not only sixth-level warrior Lolot, but also fourth-level magician Farrar. This kind of power is definitely not something they can compete with!
"Originally, our plan didn't have to be so rushed, but Mark has become an official magician." Riley didn't have any expression on his face.
"He's just a first-class magician, any of us can kill him!" Viscount Kebby said.
"However, this has exceeded our expectations." Riley said, "If Mark is allowed to grow, things will get more and more troublesome." And that's not what Lord Horner wants to see. ”
"Even so, we don't have to be in such a hurry......" Viscount Kebbi argued.
"Now is the time to get your hands dirty." Riley said, "The battle has just ended, and everyone has let their guard down at this time, so it's a good time for us to strike." After killing Mark, we can blame the Gutis. In short, absolutely no one will doubt you! ”
Viscount Kebby thought about it, and what Riley said made sense.
"I still don't feel the need to do it today." Viscount Kebby said.
Riley glanced at him: "Don't worry, I'll do the hands-on things, you can help finish it." When Mark dies, I will also leave Red Clay Ridge. As for your Earl, Lord Horner will not break his word. ”
Viscount Kebby finally nodded.
While Viscount Kebby and Riley discuss how to deal with Mark, Mark is also thinking about how to deal with them.
"In today's battle, Viscount Kebbi lost a lot of his men. However, his exploits were more than enough to make up for these losses. He's a fifth-level warrior, far from what I'm able to deal with right now. It seems that after the war, I will not be able to return to Honglin Town. ”
Although Redwood is Mark's territory, Mark never cares. Even when it comes to aristocracy, Mark doesn't care much.
"It's been two months since I came back from the modern world, and my strength has grown by less than 10%. The spiritual power of a second-level magician is ten times that of a first-level magician, if this continues, when will I be able to advance? ”
Mark has no shortage of magic models now, and Tataan, although he doesn't care much about him, also gives him the treatment of a disciple. When in Roland City, all magic marks below the third level are qualified to study.
However, the mental power is insufficient, and no matter how much magic you know, it is useless.
"My current spiritual power can only support the release of three first-level magics, and these magic spells are okay to deal with first-level and second-level warriors, but it is impossible to deal with fifth-level warriors."
Mark is also helpless, his qualifications are too poor, other magicians meditate for a day, Mark has to meditate for three to five days. If it weren't for the help of the Star Gate, Mark wouldn't even have a chance to become a magician.
"Stargate!"
Mark summoned the star gate, and he could only pin his hopes on it now.
The appearance of the stargate has not changed from before, and in the silver light, it seems to be there and nothing, giving people a very wonderful feeling.
"The connection between Stargate and me is getting closer and closer, and this is all due to the changes brought about by the two meteorites in the last world. But how do I activate it and travel through other worlds? ”
Mark was meditating when he suddenly felt something hot under his clothes.
"This is the stone I picked up during the day!" Mark shook the fist-sized stone to the ground, and to his surprise, the stone turned into a flaming fireball in the light of the stargate. The fireball slowly floated and stopped directly below the stargate, and the light it emitted turned into wisps of mist and slowly rose, and was finally absorbed by the stargate.
"The stargate is getting clearer and clearer in my perception!"
Shocked, Mark found that the stargate was starting to solidify just like last time. However, unlike last time, a smaller stargate appeared in his sea of magic!
"Is this the Stargate confessing the Lord?" Mark guessed.
After three minutes, the flames on the surface of the fireball began to weaken, the red mist slowly faded, and finally, the unknown stone turned into a pile of powder.
Mark fiddled with the powder and had some guesses in his heart: "Could it be that this stone contains powerful energy, and this energy is now absorbed by the stargate, so the stone has become powder?" ”
To Mark's regret, the energy provided by the stone could not make the stargate fully solidify.
"Based on my experience last time, if you want to travel through the world, you need to be 100% condensed. But now, only 80% of the stargate has been transformed from virtual to real, and I still can't pass through it. Unless, I can find more of those stones! ”
Looking at the stargate that failed to condense, Mark was anxious like a cat scratching. Thinking of this, he put away the star gate and walked out of the camp.
"To find a stone like this, I have to know what it is."
Mark arrives at Grom's tent, where Grom is dissecting a Gutisi corpse with the help of two skeleton warriors.
"Mark, you're here." Grom didn't stop experimenting because of Mark's arrival.
In normal times, Mark would be interested in Grom's current experiments. But now, he doesn't care about that.
"Grom, did you know that there is a stone that, well, it's icosahedron, it's translucent, and there's something of some color flowing in it...... Mark asked.
Grom put aside the Gutis' entrails and thought for a moment, "You said, it can't be a demon core, right?" ”
"Core?" Mark patted his head, and he finally remembered where the stone came from!
"It turns out that stone is the core of the Dire Turtle!" Mark's heart was flooded with previous memories, the original body had seen the magic core once, because the time was too long, this memory was relatively hidden.
"What do you think of?" Grom wondered.
Mark waved his hand: "It's nothing, I just thought I saw such a record from the teacher, so I came to ask you." Unexpectedly, it was the legendary magic core. ”
"Yes, the treasure of the magic core is unique to demonic beasts, but only demonic beasts above the second level have magic cores. Moreover, it is not easy to obtain the magic core, and before the demon beast dies, there is a great probability of detonating the magic core. Just like today, we killed twenty-four dinosaur tortoises, but we only got eight cores. Grom said.
"What about Grom, what will happen to these demon cores?" Mark asked.
"It should be handed over to the Empire. The magic core is the core force that drives the magic array, and the core of the magic array in Roland City is the magic core of an eighth-level demonic beast. As long as the magic array is still running, Roland City will be impregnable. Grom said.
"Grom, you said that our military exploits, can we exchange them for this magic core?" Mark asked again.
Grom looked at Mark, "You want to experiment with the Magic Core?" Mark, that's not something you can afford. However, if you insist, you can also exchange military skills for magic cores, but you can only exchange them for magic cores below level 4. The demon cores above level 4 have all been collected by the empire. ”
Mark thought to himself: "The Dire Turtle is a fifth-level demonic beast, and its magic core has made the stargate condense eighty percent, so the remaining twenty percent, a fourth-level demon core should be enough." ”
Mark was about to leave to look for Farrar when he suddenly stopped.
"Grom, do you have a magic core?" Mark asked.
Grom stopped his experiment, and he whispered a spell as necromancy swept away the filth from his body.
"You need a Magic Core?" Grom looked at Mark with deep-sunken eyes.
"Yes, much needed!" Mark said. He knew that Grom's origin was mysterious, but so far, Grom had not done anything against Mark, so Mark did not hide it.
Grom muttered, "How many levels of magic cores do you need?" ”
"It's best to be level five, if you don't have level five, you can also have a level four demon core!" Mark said.
Grom smiled bitterly, "Mark, your appetite is really not small. I'm only a second-level magician, how can I have a fifth-level magic core? ”
"Surely none of the other second-level magicians, but I think you might!" Mark stared at Grom and said slowly.
Grom was silent for a while before he said, "Mark, the value of the fifth-level magic core is not low!" In the Roman Empire, a fifth-level magic core is worth more than 100,000 gold coins! Moreover, this is still priceless! ”
"100,000 gold coins!" Mark couldn't help but shake his head, not to mention 100,000 gold coins, he didn't even have 10,000 gold coins.
"What about Grom, the fourth-level demon core?" Mark asked again.
Grom said: "The price of the fourth-level magic core is a lot lower, but it will not be less than ten thousand gold coins. ”
Mark smiled bitterly, he only had more than a hundred gold coins on him, which was too much worse.
"But Mark, if you really need a fourth-level magic core, you can exchange it for this military merit." Grom gave Mark an idea, "This time, in order to resist the Gutis people, the Empire's reward is very rich, and only twenty Blue Magic Stones are worth two thousand gold coins. With the addition of puppet wood, light feather wood, and red jade, it is worth almost 10,000 gold coins, which is equal to the value of a fourth-level magic core. However, whether you can redeem it or not depends on Faral's attitude. ”
"Then I'll go to Farrar and give it a try!" Mark turned to leave.
Falar's tent is very conspicuous in the very center of the barracks.
"Mark, it's so late, do you have something to do with me?" Mark was still twenty meters away when Farrar spotted him.
"Master Falar, I have something to ask for this time!" Mark said very sincerely.
Farrar nodded, "If there's something, you can say it." ”
"I want to exchange the reward for this war for a fourth-level demon core!" Mark said directly.
"Oh? Why? "I think it's obviously more important for you to build a mage tower than a core. ”
Mark said, "I also want to build my own mage tower, but Master Falarr, my scientific research method is at a critical stage, and I urgently need a fourth-level demon core. Therefore, I sincerely ask Master Faral to fulfill it! ”
