Alan isn't the kind of person who pays attention to the scene, so he wouldn't have done anything about the inauguration without a reason.

The bitter meat meter and the census population when the citizens entered the field are just incidental, and the main reason is that the six-pointed star is charged.

A few days before the inauguration ceremony, Alan didn't go out to inspect the territory every day, busy on the one hand, and on the other hand, because the inauguration ceremony was held, which could bring him more efficient charging, instead of having to take the initiative to find a mage.

Countless citizens all participated in the inauguration ceremony, and it was impossible for the mages who were hidden in it not to know about it, and as long as they knew about it, they would come to see the excitement!

Of course, it's impossible for all mages to join in the fun, but even if you look at the bustling mages accounting for one-third, or even one-fifth, of the total number of mages in Bay City, Eren can make a lot of money!

Raphael is considered a local mage, and through him, Alan learns why the small city of Bay City is called the Water Tower Outpost by the mages of other cities, because of the existence of a small city called the Water Tower.

Of course, the mages are low-key these days, and their headquarters are naturally not located in more populous cities, and the water tower outposts, as the name suggests, are just a point of connection between them and social groups, or supply points.

But even at the supply point, there are no less than fifty mages!

There is no specific number, because this number is fluid, and many of the mages of the Water Tower will come to their only place connected to the mainland to relax or live when their practice is stuck or bored.

Raphael is one of them, but his situation is more special, and he has been here for a long time.

There is no way to know how many mages there are in the current territory, but Alan does know exactly how many mages attended his inauguration ceremony - fifteen!

Fifteen mages, representing fifteen energy groups!

Allen's harvest fully met his expectations.

Something just went wrong.

Sitting at his desk, his arm leaning against the stone window of his study, listening to the sound of the waves outside the castle, Alan looked at the white six-pointed star on his left wrist and fell into thought.

Yes, white!

Because it needed to be realistic, Alan didn't check how much energy he had absorbed after being "assassinated", he only felt that the energy mass was endless, and the six-pointed star on his wrist kept vibrating, and finally fell into silence inexplicably.

It wasn't until he returned to the castle that he had time to check the changes in the six-pointed star, and this made him understand something.

The gift given by the six-pointed star is graded!

Gray is nothing more than the lowest grade, and above gray there is white, which is the current color of the six-pointed star.

What else is above white, Alan doesn't understand, he just vaguely feels that white is not the end of the six-pointed star.

Because of the color change of the six-pointed star, the fifteen energy clusters he absorbed plus the original three energy clusters have now evolved into three bright star horns on the six-pointed star, that is to say, if Alan wants to get the gift of the white six-pointed star, he has to accumulate three more horns, and in other words, eighteen energy clusters are needed!

However, Eren has another option, which is to lower the level of the white bounty and get three gray bounties!

This is also what he has been struggling with for the past two days.

By activating the three corners of the white hexagram, he will be able to draw a white gift, which is obviously better than gray, although it is not known what will appear in the white gift.

But if you choose this, you will have to collect the eighteen energy clusters needed in the three corners!

This is not so easy to collect, since the appearance of the six-pointed star, excluding the first half a year to explore the six-pointed star, Alan has only received a total of five gifts, which means that he has only met thirty mages in the past half a year.

This is on the premise that he has the ability to detect the existence of a mage.

Although there are more mages in Bay City than in Reef City, it is obviously not so easy to find eighteen mages in a short period of time; most of the mages are good at hiding, except for mages who are mixed with ordinary people for some special reasons, most of the mages generally exist in places that normal people can't find.

Of course, he could also rely on in-depth contact with the mages he discovered to obtain other energy groups besides cognition, but when he thought of the generally withdrawn nature of mages, Alan really couldn't be interested.

And he is not so idle, he can pull a certain mage all day long to talk nonsense.

So in general, if you want to get the gift of the white six-pointed star, it is a dream in a short time.

"It's a pity that the newspaper business has only just begun, and if the newspaper is on the right track, it won't have to be so troublesome to collect energy groups. ”

Alan looked at the sea outside the castle with fascination, and the endless blue made him think of the vast and reverie of the near future, which was a beautiful situation where he could "lie down and make money"...

Shaking his head, the young mage-apprentice shook off the boring thoughts in his head and began to think about the moment.

In addition to collecting energy clusters to obtain white gifts, he can also break up white energy clusters and extract three gray gifts.

The advantage of this is that it can be used at the moment, and there are many times, but the disadvantage is that the items gifted by the gray six-pointed star are definitely not as high-end as the white ones.

It's been three days since the inauguration ceremony, and because he is still in a "coma", Allen has been working for the past three days, which is to learn magic with Raphael.

He didn't start making his choice right away, not being in a hurry was on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to study how long it would take him to obtain the eighteen-point energy cluster.

If he can bear it, he chooses to continue collecting energy until he opens the white gift, and if he can't accept it, he chooses the gray gift three times.

And the results of the study are that it will take a month at the earliest!

This is on the premise that everything goes well, and with the help of Raphael, a local mage.

You must know that his current state is "seriously injured and unconscious", and he can't show up in front of people alive within a few days of Carter's arrest.

He would have to stay in the castle for at least a week or so. Then, according to the normal condition of serious injury, he couldn't immediately look around for a mage or hold any event after he appeared, which was not something that a person who had just recovered from his injuries would do.

It will take him about twenty days to solve the "injury" and be able to move normally, and this is because there are special healing methods in this world, if it is changed to a previous life, it is not possible for a seriously injured person to move normally in a month or two.

Twenty days later, he could organize another big event, such as a healing celebration or something, but because of the special nature of the mage, he had to plan and ferment carefully if he wanted to attract the mage.

So if all goes well, it will take at least a month.

And this time, obviously, can't be accepted by him!

What's more, he attracted enough mages in a month, and this was when Raphael agreed to use his connections to help him, and if he didn't agree, it would be all empty talk.

So he chose to give up the white gift!

"If I knew that the six-pointed star could still be upgraded, I would definitely not use this kind of bitter trick to bind myself. "Alan regrets it a little at the moment, if he can move freely, he can still fight.

However, his regret was fleeting, and since the situation was already like this, it was useless to regret it.

White gifts may be better, but only once, and not necessarily at any time, while gray can be done three times, and it can start right away!

With that in mind, Alan withdrew his gaze from the window and looked again at his left wrist, which was propped up on his arm.

"In that case, there's no need to hesitate. ”

"Let's go!"
