Chapter 42: The Mussel Farm on Blackstone Island
"The results in every subject are excellent, and I deserve to be my disciple. ”
Victoria flipped through the "Neverwinter City Black-robed Mage Evaluation Certificate" and praised it.
"Although you are already a black-robed mage and are at the same level as me, you still have a lot to learn. ”
"What you need most at the moment is not to learn all kinds of spells, but to improve your mental power, and when you become a gray-robed mage, you will have a long life, and you will be able to do whatever you want. ”
"As a mage of the Eternal White Tower, your cultivation resources are all provided by the Mage Tower, and you are much luckier than the civilian mages, but you also have to take on the task of the Mage Tower. ”
"Just now, the mentor summoned me and said that he wanted you to be on duty at the Black Rock Island Mussel Farm in the Luoxia Sea. ”
Luoxia Sea is a lake to the west of Neverwinter, although it is an inland lake, but the area is vast, named the sea and the sea, there is a kind of algae in the lake, every summer grows wildly, the entire sea surface is dyed red, when Ke Mingde came to Winterfell, it was the end of August, but he did not have the opportunity to see this beautiful scene.
"Mussel Field?" said Ke Mingde, a new term.
"The clam farm breeds a kind of magic mussel, as big as a car canopy, and it is a low-level magical beast that lives in freshwater waters at a depth of eighty to one hundred and twenty meters. ”
"Ordinary low-level magical beasts, after taking out the magic core, will die, and the magic core of this mussel is the pearl it brings, after taking it out, it can grow again, and it is an important source of income for our mage tower. ”
"When should I go, and what should I do beforehand?"
Ke Mingde is not averse to working for the Mage Tower, he can obtain knowledge here, learn magic, and can also get various potions to assist in cultivation, it is appropriate to contribute some strength, mixed with red dust, and has his own mundane things.
"It's going to be next month, you can cultivate with peace of mind, and I will prepare everything. ”
"By the way, you can use these potions!" Victoria said, bringing a box and placing it on the round table.
Ke Mingde opened it and looked at it, a little surprised.
There were twelve bottles of potion in the box, and he took out one, opened the lid and sniffed it:
The taste is slightly sweet, the color is brown and yellow, it has strong volatility, it is a Pilsen spiritual power growth elixir, suitable for black-robed mages, within three days after taking it, the meditation efficiency is doubled, and a bottle of a low-level magic core can be sold in the market, which is in short supply and extremely precious.
Ke Mingde printed it after seeing it for the first time, and it consumed 0.4 energy (about 50ml) per serving, which was not cost-effective.
"It's so precious! Vera, you need ......it too," Ko Mingde was a little excited, and even forgot to include an honorific title in his title, but Victoria didn't mind.
"I don't need it anymore. She smiled.
"What! could it be that you're already ......," Ke Mingde was shocked.
"I haven't become a gray-robed mage yet!" she sighed, "One step away, a world apart, the strength of the gray-robed mage is far from being comparable to the black-robed mage, I still need to wait for an opportunity!"
"Then I thanked the teacher, and by the way, on the way back, I saw this music box and bought it. He said, handing the music box to Victoria.
"It's ingenious!"
Victoria smiled, with a smile on her face, her face was full of light, and Ke Mingde was almost stunned.
"Alright, you go back to cultivating!" Victoria noticed Ke Mingde's expression, turned his face away, and drove him out.
Ke Mingde had no choice but to pick up a box of potions and leave here.
Closing the door, he faintly heard the crisp sound of the music box.
......
A month later.
"Ke Mingde, this reindeer knows the way to the Mussel Farm on Blackstone Island, and it will take you there. ”
"Once there, make a good relationship with the other two mages, they are both mages of the Eternal White Tower, and they will take care of you. ”
"You have to be on duty there for three months, I have prepared all the potions for you, don't delay your cultivation......"
Cummid said goodbye to Victoria, rode a reindeer, and left Neverfall in a sleigh.
It was the early hours of the morning, and the vast expanse of the road outside Neverwinter was hidden under the tall shadow of Neverwinter, but it was not dim, and the snow in the distance reflected a dazzling white light.
By this time, it was already winter, and there had been several heavy snowfalls, and the reindeer's calves were buried in the snow.
The reindeer ran as fast as they could, their hot air condensing into mist, dragging a laden sleigh without slowing their speed.
The sleigh has been used for levitation, and more importantly, this reindeer is a magical beast, intelligent, physically strong, humane, hardy, dark-sighted, and good at acceleration.
Ke Mingde sat on the suitcase, wearing a black Dorama vine robe, and a set of underwear inside, which could be said to be extremely thin, but in the cold wind, he did not feel cold at all.
The magic array engraved with the Wind Barrier on the sleigh plays the role of wind protection and collision protection, and requires three low-level magic cores to provide energy, which can last for six hours.
The Dorama vine robe, after the refining and enchantment of Master Elando, has added many functions, such as protection, warmth, cleaning, fire and water.
Master Elandor is the sixth disciple of His Royal Highness Dilla and specializes in the production of magical costumes.
Ke Mingde looked out at the surrounding snowy landscape, the sky was high and far away, and it was extremely magnificent, and occasionally he could see snow foxes and snow hares, chasing each other, or birds of prey hiding from hunting.
After a while, his eyes felt a little sour, and he put on a hood with a wide brim covering his eyelids.
Close your eyes and meditate.
The Pilson mental power growth potion he took the day before yesterday was still taking effect, and under the effect of the elixir, he could even detect the slightest increase in mental power.
Ke Mingde's mental power is now more than twice as strong as when he first arrived in Neverwinter.
You must know that since he was born, nearly thirty years of spiritual power growth is no more than three months of cultivation, and the effect of the medicine is very important.
A cold wind blew off his hood, and Ke Mingde opened his eyes and ended his meditation.
The magic of the core on the sleigh is depleted.
He took off the three magic cores, replaced them with the other three, took off the magic cores, put them in his pocket, and waited for two days for the magic cores to be full of energy.
When he looked up, the sun was high and the reindeer were a little tired, so he stopped the reindeer, took some beans and berries from the box, and fed them to the reindeer.
With his identity and strength, he is not qualified to use storage items.
There are two main types of storage items commonly used among mages: precious items with independent space and magic pockets with shrinkage.
Magical items with independent space are extremely rare, it is said that only holy magicians can make them, and after the magic catastrophe thousands of years ago, there is no trace of holy magicians in the world, and the production method of space treasures has long been lost, and there are very few space treasures in the world today, all of which have been handed down from ancient times, and Ke Mingde only learned about them in books, and has never seen the real thing.
Magic pockets are more common, and they have various high-level spells such as shrinkage and weightlessness on them, which are precious and difficult to make, and require high-level magic cores to provide energy, and only wealthy mages can afford to use them.
The magic pocket carried by His Royal Highness Dilla is exactly like this, Ke Mingde has scanned it, but after a little understanding, he didn't dare to print it, he is just a black-robed mage, holding a magic bag, just like a three-year-old child holding gold through the market, unable to support it.
In the afternoon, Ke Mingde had come to the edge of the Luoxia Sea, and the surface of the sea was covered with a thick layer of ice, which was extremely hard.
The reindeer ran directly on the ice, the smooth ice as far as the eye could see, and slept in the warm and comfortable environment created by magic at night, and arrived at the clam farm at noon the next day.
On the ice of the Luoxia Sea, a small island the size of half a football field protrudes, five meters above the ice, a rock structure, all black, and a mage tower stands on it.
This small island was built by His Royal Highness Dilla fifty years ago, spending three months and using magic.
Changing the heavens and the earth, reclaiming the sea and land, the power of magic is vividly displayed in front of Ke Mingde's eyes.
