Chapter 18: Magical Breakthrough
"What about Master Manny?" Seeing that the topic was a little off-track, Gavin reminded aloud.
Er Peng turned back to the topic, "Master Manny's most outstanding masterpiece is the puppet that is only one step away from breaking through to the fourth-order Sacred Domain-level realm, "Clockwork". ”
"It is said to be the most satisfying work of the Manny master. ”
"Although the clockwork is only a third-order, its significance is unimaginable to ordinary people, this is a major breakthrough in the puppet world, so the guild will award Master Manny the highest level of crystal mage badge, as a sign of Master Manny's contribution. ”
(Brass corresponds to the 1st order, silver corresponds to the 2nd order, gold corresponds to the 3rd order, and crystal corresponds to the 4th order)
"Then since Master Manny is so powerful, why is he still just a receptionist in the union. Jiawen expressed the doubts in his heart.
Er Peng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Mages are an extremely short of money, mage robes need money, magic wands need money, magic potions need money, and new spell research needs money. Where does the money come from?"
"The guild has come up with a good solution for this situation, which is to imitate the operation mode of the mercenary guild and carry out a series of bounties within the mage guild, so that the mages can also take what they need from each other. ”
"Apothecaries need herbs to make potions, and some mages need potions to improve their strength. With this bounty mode, the pharmacist can offer a bounty on the herbs needed to make the potion, and other people in need can take on the task, and after negotiating the terms with the bountyholder, they can go to find the things they need, and after finding the things, they can trade between the two. ”
"In this way, under certain conditions, the mage can invisibly reduce a lot of expenses, of course, you can also sell the things you produce to get gold, which is how so many mage shops on the street come about. ”
"Master Manny, because of his recent research, has a bit of a big funding gap, and he has been frantically taking tasks in the past two months, except for some difficult tasks with harsh conditions, almost all of them have been swept away, and the rest is only the duty tasks issued by the guild itself,"
"Because it is a task issued by the guild itself, of course, the reward will not be too high, but no matter how small the mosquito's legs are, it is meat, and if there is no other choice, you can only take these duty tasks. ”
"Do we need to charge a fee for the identification of newcomers to join the guild?" asked Jiawen suddenly.
"No, there is no such rule. Erpeng was a little confused.
"Okay, I see. Gavin's face was a little strange.
Er Peng said so many words for a while, and his mouth was also a little dry, and at this time, there was finally a fair-skinned and beautiful mage girl waiter next to him, and served the three of them the drink that Er Peng ordered.
"Let's try our Flame City specialty. Erpeng beckoned.
I saw that Erpeng and Jiawen were in front of them with a glass of bright yellow amber-like liquid, and the air was filled with a dense fragrance of flowers.
In front of Lucy, however, was a glass of pale blue juice with hoarfrost on the walls and a straw in the cup.
"Why am I different from yours?" asked Lucy, confused.
Erpeng took a sip of the liquid in front of him and explained with a smile, "Miss Lucy's cup is the juice of the frost grass that was ordered especially for you, and the taste is refreshing, which is more suitable for ladies to drink. ”
Gavin picked up the cup and tasted it, his brow furrowed.
didn't notice his expression, but at this time, Lucy rolled her eyes, and snatched the cup from Gavin's hand while she was not noticed.
I'm going to drink it if I don't want to drink it, the little girl thought to herself, and then she poured a big sip into her mouth.
As a result, Lucy's face instantly turned as red as an apple, and she lowered her head and spit out the contents of her mouth into the cup again.
"Water, water," the little girl stretched out her cute little tongue and fanned it with her hand.
With a smile on his face, Jiawen hurriedly handed her the glass of frost grass juice on the table.
After Lucy took it, she drank it in one gulp, and her face gradually calmed down.
"Is this what people drink?" said the little girl, huffing.
Erpeng also reacted and couldn't laugh or cry, "I'm not going to let you drink it, the honey of the fire poison bee just tastes like a spirit, burning people's hearts, but it will have a sweet feeling when you taste it for a long time." Besides, this stuff is usually for men. ”
"What's so good about this thing, it is estimated that it is not cheap to sell depending on the style. Lucy asked.
"It's not cheap, 3 silver coins a cup. Whether it tastes good or not is secondary, the key is its function. Fire poison honey contains a special explosive stimulating magic, and if you drink it regularly, it can stimulate your own meridians to achieve the purpose of breaking through the bottleneck," Er Peng explained.
"The effect of this thing is more obvious when you drink it for the first time, and the more you need to use it, the more you need to accumulate it. ”
Jiawen did feel a subtle tingling sensation in his body. Looking at the glass of honey on the table, Jiawen was thinking about whether he should drink it.
"So it's so useful, Brother Jiawen, hurry up and drink it, don't waste it," Lucy handed the cup to Jiawen again.
Holding the quilt in his hand, Jiawen felt a dilemma, and a strong ideological struggle was being made in his mind, to drink or not to drink?
Just when he was at a loss, there was finally a natural sound in his ears.
"Waiter, have another drink. In the end, Erpeng was relieved.
......
Feeling the operation of his own magic power with his spiritual power, he easily broke through that barrier without a trace of waves, and the magic power wandered among the limbs and hundreds of remains, and finally the sea and rivers converged to the position of the dantian.
At this time, Jiawen became a magician in the true sense
"At your current age, it's not too late to condense your magic power, but it's definitely not too early, compared to the potential of your spiritual power, I think your future cultivation should focus on the latter, don't waste your talent. "Er Peng knows too many cases where he wasted a lot of his youth because he was good for a while, and he also cultivated other spells, and finally delayed his future.
Knowing Erpeng's kindness in his heart, Jiawen was also a little moved in his heart.
"I see, thank you. ”
"Aren't we already friends, and what are you talking about? Erpeng replied with a smile.
"yes, we're all friends. Gavin smiled too.
"And me. Lucy bubbled at the right time.
No one thought that the first time the three famous people met in the future was in this coffee shop.
In the future, when someone asked Erpeng, the second-in-command of the zodiac, how he met that person back then, Erpeng calmly replied that we just met the right person at the right time, and forged our lifelong friendship at the right time.
