Einz material shop.

The wooden signboard was erected in front of a wooden building, and several magic lamps lazily released yellow light, and the handwriting on the wooden signboard also glowed with a faint layer of colored light.

"Yo, Ye Xiao is very early today. As soon as Ye Xiao walked into the house, someone greeted him.

"Well, it went well today. Ye Xiao responded softly.

"Well, I just had a great idea and wanted to experiment with it, and you just had the perfect time. The man was thin and thin, with fluffy and messy silver hair, and his eyes were often blank and unfocused, as if he had not woken up.

Hearing this, Ye Xiao hurriedly took a few steps back and widened the distance, and persuaded: "Eins, you have to think about it this time before you do it, don't blow yourself up half to death like last time, if I hadn't found out in time, you were experimenting with magic traps in the mission area alone, I'm afraid no one would know about it." ”

The silver-haired man named Einz was stunned when he heard this, but he immediately waved his hand indifferently, and said with a high face: "That was an accident, this time I am fully prepared, and I will be fine." ”

"And, I have a hunch......" Einz squinted his eyes and supported his chin with his right hand, turned his head sideways to look at the wooden door of the laboratory next to him, and pursed his lips and continued seriously, "This time it should be successful...... No, no, no...... Yes, it will be successful. ”

Although it was very shocking to people's confidence, Ye Xiao looked at Einz's slightly funny expression, and couldn't help but spit out: "Also, it's me who is worrying about it, with your mental power and the ability to restore the magic trap array that is infinitely close to zero, even if you fail, you won't be able to blow people up, at most you will be stunned like last time." ”

Ainz was still waiting for Ye Xiao to encourage him a few words, but he didn't expect such a few words to pop up later, half of the smile froze on his face, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, but he couldn't say anything to refute for a while.

It's just that looking at Ye Xiao's leisurely attitude and calm complaining look is very itchy, and after holding it for a while, he said as if venting: "No matter how bad it is, it's better than you! ”

"Huh. Ye Xiao shrugged his shoulders and pursed his lips with a smile on his face.

"Shhh

"It's what you want. With that, he walked out of the counter with his things and ran towards the laboratory.

"Hey, don't ...... it"

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-"

Ye Xiao wanted to continue teasing, but was interrupted by a short doorbell.

As soon as I turned around, I saw several tall, strong and somewhat unspeakable men, hugging a man in a cloth robe, squeezing into the room from outside the door.

The originally spacious room suddenly became a little crowded, and Ye Xiao, who was sitting on the edge of the counter, even felt that the lights in the room were a little dim.

At this moment, the door of the inner hall opened, and a man who looked a little similar to Einz walked out, and after a brief chat with the group of outsiders, he led several people into the inner hall.

"Chardo, go pour some Tekira and come in. ”

"Got it. With some dissatisfaction, Einz pushed open the door and walked out of the laboratory, muttering something as he went.

Ye Xiao naturally did not continue to tease him, but took out the bag of things that Einz gave him, and took out the contents one by one to see.

"Hey, what's it for. Ainz leaned against the curved counter with the tray and looked at the things in Ye Xiao's hand with a curious expression.

"Toys. Ye Xiao replied without raising his head, his eyes were still staring at the thing in his hand, and he put it under the light and looked at it carefully.

The scale is very precise, the shape is very regular, and it is very well done. Ye Xiao muttered silently in his heart, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Einz had just withdrawn from the inner hall, and as soon as the eyes of the two met, Einz grimaced, obviously not believing Ye Xiao's statement, but he didn't continue to ask, but turned around and went into his laboratory.

In the inner hall, milky white fluorites are dotted on the ceiling one by one, and a bright but not dazzling light fills the whole room.

"Ines!" The owner of the voice paused, calmed down for a moment, and then patiently continued: "My conditions are rich enough, and I believe that there will be no higher bid than mine." ”

"You are not satisfied, do you have the sincerity to continue talking. Sitting back in her chair, Sosa took a large sip of her tekira from her glass, visibly emotional.

"Actually, you can understand my feelings, Mr. Sosa. Ines leaned back in his chair and waited until Sosa couldn't help but ask before continuing leisurely: "I believe you also know that magic apprentices like us, who specialize in meditation, don't have any attack power in themselves, and the biggest reliance is the magic trap array, which is the foundation of our survival, so it's not that I'm greedy, but I have to be greedy." ”

"Okay, so what do you want, say it quickly. Sosa was silent for a while before asking reluctantly.

"That thing, you know, it's the classic Luser that just arrived recently—" Ines was interrupted by Sosa's exclamation before he could finish his sentence.

"The classic Lusa necklace that adds to the meditative effect?" Sousa almost squirted out as she stared at Ines's face with wide eyes.

"Hmm. Ines smiled a little embarrassedly.

After a long silence, Sosa asked in a somewhat weak tone, "How do you know?"

"No matter how fast your hands and feet are, there is still an opportunity to follow, so even if the precious enchanted ornament appears for a short time, it will immediately attract the attention of some people, you say yes. Ines explained with a smile on his face.

"You mean...... That's right, there are only a few people who really know and urgently need it, and even fewer people can afford to pay for it, and there will always be people who know, I should have thought of it a long time ago. Sosa muttered to herself, but suddenly laughed and said, "I said why did you come to me so suddenly to trade, it turns out that this is the reason." ”

"Sosa, don't blame me, I don't have such a strong backer as you, so I have to take every opportunity to make myself stronger. ”

"It seems that you have already figured out my bottom clearly. Sosa lowered her head and whispered, completely confused about his thoughts at the moment.

"The deal ......," Ines said tentatively, hesitantly.

"Naturally, it went on, and who made my personal mission deadline approach. Sosa raised her head and said with a kind smile: "I can only let you slaughter a knife." ”

"You can't say that, Mr. Sosa. Ines hurriedly said: "Compared with the small chance of being promoted to a senior magic apprentice in a short period of time, or my magic trap formation diagram is more helpful to you, it is a reduction array with one-third of the power of the original array, and the entire cage except for me, only Famar in the Western Region can restore a slightly more powerful reduction array, as far as I know, his asking price is much higher than mine, is it difficult to ......"

"Okay, now that it's decided to proceed, don't worry about who takes advantage and who suffers. Let's get started. Sosa waved her hand, looking impatient.

"Okay, okay, let's get started. Ines laughed, and even he was a little embarrassed.

The door of the inner hall reopened, and the voice of Ines and his party came out: "This time, I will thank you in advance Manager Sosa, this favor has been recorded by Iines." ”

"Alright, let's go quickly. Sosa's slightly tired voice followed.

The door of the inner hall was closed again, Sosa did not come out, steady footsteps passed by the counter, Ye Xiao put down the book in his hand and raised his head, and put the utensils on the table into the bag one by one.

The crystal clear objects refracted the dreamlike glass light in the light, and Ines stopped consciously, looking at the bag in Ye Xiao's hand and frowning and stunned.

"What's wrong?" asked a man behind him who patted Ines on the shoulder and whispered.

"Uh...... Nothing, let's go. Ines seemed to be recalling something, and after a somewhat absent-minded reply, he walked out of the room in the lead.

After Ye Xiaomu sent Ines and the others to leave, he picked up the books on the table again and looked at them, and the brown-red book cover was printed with several large gilded characters written in the common language of the mainland.

Ye Xiao's right hand covered the last word of the title, and the six words exposed were "Magic Trap Technique ...... Details", according to the title of the book, it is obvious that this is a basic magic book that introduces magic trap techniques.

Magic and fighting spirit as the foundation of the most fundamental power system in this world, naturally not so easy to master, take magic as an example, to become a formal magician, you must first become a magic apprentice, and then cross the three magic apprentice realms of lower, intermediate, and advanced in order to become a formal magician, and only by becoming a formal magician can you master the magic skills with powerful attack power, and the magic apprentice does not have any effective lethal ability if you do not use foreign objects.

The essence of the magic trap array is to use objects that can conduct elemental energy to outline the magic trap array, absorb and store elemental energy to burst out at one time when needed, causing an effective killing effect.

So in order to draw an effective magic trap, there are three conditions that must be met.

Generally speaking, the stronger the conduction ability, the stronger the ability to store magic power, and the greater the power of the magic trap, of course, the premise is that the reduction degree of the magic trap array itself must be sufficient, and the magic trap with poor reduction degree is very limited even if the best material is used to arrange.

At this point, I have to say that the second condition for arranging magic traps, a standard magic trap array diagram, is the object that every magic apprentice who arranges magic traps has to observe and copy every day. There is more than one kind of magic in the world, and of course there are many types of magic traps, but in the magic apprenticeship stage, there are only three levels of magic traps in each department, and the higher the level, the more difficult it is to arrange.

Therefore, a good magic trap setter is naturally the most difficult of the three conditions to be met.

Magic is the use of elements to arrange and release elements according to specific rules, which is the essence of magic.

On the road to becoming a magician, it is inevitable to come into contact with a variety of elemental arrangements, in order to exercise the elemental arrangement ability of magic apprentices, and also to let their descendants have some self-preservation, some powerful magicians have simplified some magic runes, and used these simplified magic runes to create magic traps.

Because the main purpose is to exercise, basically every beginner in magic comes into contact with the formation of the magic trap array is the standard magic array diagram that has been reduced several times, that is to say, if the magic trap is arranged completely according to the standard magic trap array, the power of the magic trap will only be one-thirtieth of the original power of this magic trap.

And in the process of reducing the magic trap array to its original size, the magic apprentices will be fully trained. Without relying on any aids, if an apprentice can draw a magic trap perfectly with a magic trap, then the apprentice is qualified to learn formal magic.

But obviously, the situation faced by Ye Xiao and the others was obviously different from that of normal magic apprentices, because although the magic trap gave the magic apprentice a certain attack power, the limitations of this attack power were very large, and the various dangerous tasks faced by Ye Xiao and the others in the selection of the so-called Shadow Alliance Shadow Queen made them unable to comprehend the magic trap array step by step, so the use of tools to measure and draw became a very common phenomenon.

But even with the use of tools, most people still can't draw a qualified magic trap array, this is based on the fact, because not all people can master and use words proficiently, and literate people may not know and understand those strange magic symbols, even if the above two conditions are met, some basic number crunching skills are not so easy to master.

Of course, it is not impossible for people who can be proficient in writing to clearly recognize and understand magical symbols, and have a certain ability to crunch numbers, but how could those people be taken captive to such a place casually.

Speaking of which, I have to mention Ye Xiao's other discovery, through the contact and communication with the people in the cage these days, Ye Xiao found that almost all the people who were taken captive here are some characters who are isolated from normal society, to put it bluntly, if these people die suddenly, it will only be noticed when the corpse stinks and rots and smokes others, when he learns about this situation, Ye Xiao has already begun to be alert, and when he learns about some other things from some people, Ye Xiao begins to cultivate desperately, so when the vast majority of people are still immersed in the illusory and unrealizable and exaggerated beautiful future, Ye Xiao tried his best to improve his strength.

Even if Ye Xiao knew that his desperate cultivation was likely to fall into the tricks of those people, but in this world where force is supreme, there is no ability to protect himself without strength, and he only hopes that he can improve his personal strength before those people start, and the most direct and effective way at the moment is to use the magic trap array to earn task points, and then use these points to exchange for meditation techniques, fighting qi secret books, enchanting equipment, alchemy potions and other items required for cultivation to improve his strength.

Although the magic trap array is not just composed of simple long and short straight lines, but is full of various lines that intersect with twists and turns, but with the combination of a dry drawing tool such as a protractor in his hand, all the problems encountered in restoring the magic trap array can be easily solved, although the amount of calculation required in the middle is really not small, but time is probably in this environment, without the need to work every day, Ye Xiao is the only thing that is rich.

Now Ye Xiao insists on exercising four hours of concentration meditation every day, and has begun to use fake sleep meditation to replace sleep, because as long as he successfully becomes a low-level magic apprentice, Ye Xiao will be able to immediately arrange a perfect magic trap, and the problem of restoring the magic trap array that plagues others is not a problem here for Ye Xiao at all.

And once Ye Xiao is promoted to a lower-level magic apprentice, he will immediately be able to earn a large number of task points, and then he will be able to snowball his abilities and advantages bigger and bigger.

"It's really good to cross. Thinking of this, Ye Xiao, who was reading quietly, suddenly pursed his lips and smiled, and the meaning of it was probably only known to him.

At the same time, the inner hall.

Sosa was casually fiddling with the wooden box in his hand in the light of the fluorite at the moment, and from time to time he tugged at the corner of his mouth and showed a faint smile.

However, when this smile gradually climbed up his cheeks, it suddenly turned into a cold and strange smile.

"Click!"

The delicate wooden box, along with the paper inside, was crumpled into pieces and quietly sprinkled at Sosa's feet.
