Chapter Eighty-Four: The Mysterious Stone
Since coming to the royal capital, Andy has spent money like water, and the small fortune he made from Viscount Colin has gradually been consumed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info is now facing the dilemma of not having a magic stone to learn knowledge.
And not only Andy, Catherine also has to learn new knowledge of witchcraft, no matter how good her talent is, without the accumulation of knowledge, her witchcraft practice is just water without a source and a tree without roots.
And Catherine also faces an even more serious problem than Andy, which is that her meditation methods do not match her own witchcraft.
Stein's apprentices all learned the same meditation method as him, the "Castron Meditation Method". Among them, Bill had been taught by Tiga as early as when he met Tiga, and changed his meditation method that was more suitable for him. Andy unexpectedly fits in well with the "Castron" meditation method he learned, and fire sorcery is also very handy. But as Catherine's cultivation grew, the more she felt that the "Castron Meditation Method" was not suitable for her.
Catherine has the body of a cat, which is the most compatible with the dark nature of meditation, and most of the main witchcraft she learns is debuff or curse. Therefore, a set of dark attribute meditation methods is the most suitable for Catherine. And now the fire attribute meditation method she practiced did not bring out her bronze wizard's strength at all.
But meditation is at the heart of witchcraft knowledge, and even the students of the Upper House are not something that can be acquired casually. As far as Andy knows, the materials on meditation are on the third floor of the library. Moreover, each meditation method consumes more than 100 magic stones to be able to borrow, and this is only the most inferior meditation method, such as the Wind Meditation Method, the Flame Meditation Method, etc.
A meditation method of the level of Castron, which Andy is now mastering, not only costs more than five hundred magic stones, but also needs to consume academy contribution points to be able to access.
Andy inquired about the best dark attribute meditation method that can be obtained in the academy, "Klein Black Hole Meditation Method", because the dark attribute meditation method is more precious and rare than attributes such as feng shui, fire, and earth, so the borrowing fee is extremely high, reaching thousands of magic stones, and it also requires a lot of college contribution points.
After Andy came to the outer courtyard, he was so focused on learning knowledge that he didn't go to the task hall of the academy to learn about the academy's tasks. So of course, his contribution point is zero, and even if it is not zero, his current magic stone makes it impossible for him to access even the lowest set of dark attribute meditation methods.
Faced with this situation, Andy's first thought was not to honestly earn magic stones and accumulate contribution points, but to think about whether there was a way to find another way.
The first thing he thought of was to inquire if there was anyone in the academy who practiced the "Klein Black Hole Meditation Method", and he thought about buying a second-hand meditation method from someone who spent a small amount of magic stones. Later, after some inquiry, he knew that this method would not work.
Because the academy has a very strict control over meditation methods, after all, it involves the root of witchcraft practice. Therefore, all students who borrow meditation methods will sign a relevant witchcraft contract with the library, and there are restrictions on witchcraft contracts that cannot be taught to others at all.
This is also the reason why there are so many students in Graeme House from generation to generation, and their witchcraft family often uses some big road meditation methods as a way to pass on meditation methods. Otherwise, the high-level meditation method would have flooded in the Duolun Continent long ago.
As for the meditation method "Castron" that Stein taught Andy, it was not something he learned from the academy, but what he gained in the secret realm of Castron, so he could teach it to his apprentices without restrictions.
Seeing that this method didn't work, Andy wandered around the library for a long time, and he found that the defensive power of the place literally made his scalp tingle. There were all kinds of unknown witch arrays near the library, and Andy clearly felt the undisguised aura of a silver wizard in the library. As for the other hidden methods, Andy didn't know, but he had no interest in knowing either.
Andy's actions attracted the attention of the two members of the Academy's Discipline Department who patrolled here, and they interrogated him for a long time, and later when they checked Andy's student card, they found that he actually had a criminal record, so they interrogated him more carefully.
Later, they went to the library to find out the situation, and after knowing that nothing really happened here, they let Andy leave. When Andy left, the two guys from the Discipline Department looked at him meaningfully, as if to say, "Be honest lately, we're always paying attention to you!"
Unbeknownst to Andy, there were already two pieces of information in the records of his student card that only members of the Discipline Division and the senior management of the academy could read. One is to deliberately disrupt the order of the classroom and fine 100 magic stones, and the other is just appeared: an unknown activity near the library, and the appearance is suspicious!
Seeing that he didn't have a chance, Andy had to honestly think of a way to earn magic stones. He didn't go to the library to borrow materials in order to save magic stones, because he had already found other ways to save magic stones to obtain materials.
That was his Hesterley Mirror.
When he was in Dallas City, Andy learned the secret technique of the Allen family, "Overlord", through the magic mirror. Now, when Andy is having trouble borrowing materials from the library, he naturally wants to try the magic mirror.
Sure enough, as long as the library once existed materials. It can be queried with the Magic Mirror. And the cost of magic stones is less than one-fifth of what the library charges. This result made Andy speechless, he used to think that the magic mirror was very pitted, but he didn't expect that the senior management of the academy was more pitted than the magic mirror. What's more, some materials also have requirements for contribution points.
In this way, Andy only needs to find the name of the information he needs in the library, and then use the magic stone to query the specific content of the information when he comes back, whether it is the witchcraft expertise that Andy needs, or the "Klein Black Hole Meditation Method" that Catherine needs, he and Catherine can learn through the magic mirror, and they can save a lot of magic stones.
Andy copied a series of books from the library, and then when he returned, he consulted the Magic Mirror one by one to see how many magic stones were needed to look up these materials, and then he copied a table to summarize them for later use.
He found that basically, the information in the academy was priced at a high price, and there were relatively many magic stones needed when querying here in the magic mirror. He knew that this was the magic mirror, and he had made the same judgment on the value of the information as the academy.
This made Andy discover a way to identify the approximate value of an item with the magic mirror without consuming magic stones, he only needed to ask the magic mirror for information about a certain item, and the magic mirror showed that the more magic stones needed, the higher the value of the corresponding item.
Then Andy curiously weighed the value of everything on his body in this way.
He was surprised to find that the most valuable thing on his body was not the magical "Joseph Mask" and the almost omniscient magic mirror, but the unknown stone he had stolen from the strange "Edward" at the top of Stein's wizarding tower.
To inquire about its information, I actually asked for magic stones...... Million!
