Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Cost Is Too High
If, like other mages, there was a decent mentor, and Lukka wouldn't have had such a hard time choosing what magic to learn. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Except for a very unreliable magic book, Lukka had no information to refer to, and of course no one would tell him that even in the wizarding world, a six-line full cultivation mage had not appeared for hundreds of years.
It's not that it's shut up and cheating him on this matter, as a book that almost no one reads, its time over there is all the dust on the top of the shelf, and in addition to a lot of magical knowledge, its knowledge is also very limited, and it really can't help more.
In this state, Lukka set his sights on prophecy and spirit spells that he had not set foot in before.
But this afternoon, his train of thought was interrupted.
First of all, the two four or five-year-old bear children who were screaming while running downstairs in the tavern were said to be relatives of the tavern owner, and the hot and humid weather in July did not stop him, sweat dripping down his hair, but if he wanted to meditate, he could not use a hail technique to cool down, which would disturb the casting of spells in the spiritual starry sky, not to mention that there was a mosquito that was buzzing around his ears all the time.
But what interfered with his train of thought the most was the chart on the other side of the table.
Ever since he stepped off the New Horizon, Luka has been worried about one thing. This time I met a pirate, not only did I not lose any loss but also made a net profit, and I will no longer follow the merchant ship on the next trip.
He asked Leon for an ordinary chart, he had been studying it for the past few days, trying to find some safer routes, but the black sails were not fixed targets at sea, they were like wild dogs, where there were merchant ships full of goods, they would smell the smell and flock to it, and it was not easy to avoid it.
Lukka stood up, washed his face with water, and reopened the book.
Suddenly, he looked up at the chart, then down at the book, and a bold idea suddenly appeared in his mind. He closed the thick page and poked the cover with his finger:
"Shut up and change the title!"
"What are you going to see? I don't have something indescribable!" Shut up and didn't turn back into a parrot, but slowly shook it on the table a few times, and the heat made it too lazy to move.
"Are there any scrolls or magic items or anything like that?" Lukka asked.
"There are two kinds of things you said, which one do you want?"
"What's the difference?" Lukka clearly lacked magical knowledge.
"Nonsense! The scroll is for mages, and its purpose is to save a little consumption in the mana pool, and magic items can be used by ordinary people, but the effect is much worse. Shut up and replied lazily.
"Magic items, hurry!" Lukka reached out and rubbed the cover vigorously.
The title of the book slowly and reluctantly becomes "A Guide to Making Magical Items".
Lukka grabbed it and sped over it.
It wasn't until Ollie came over in the evening and called him to dinner that Lukka finally put down the "Guide to Making Magical Items" and became a little more sure of his thoughts.
When he came back from eating, he grabbed the man who was stuffing peanuts into his mouth in his parrot form: "Hurry up and turn back into the "Encyclopedia of Spells". ā
"I haven't finished eating yet!" shut up and protested loudly, but changed back anyway.
Lukka flipped through the pages, and several pieces of peanut skin fell out of it. Dusting off the clutter, he focused his attention on a fourth-level spell in the prophecy system: Danger Prediction.
In fact, there is also a simple first-level spell in the prophecy system, and the name is only one word different from this spell: Danger Perception. The difference between the two is that "perception" can only detect whether there is danger around one's position at the moment of casting, while foreknowledge is much more lenient in time and place.
What's more, this fourth-level spell can be used to craft magic items.
Lukka memorized the spell and began to meditate with a full burp.
This magic was the second fourth-level spell he had learned, and it was the first time he had tried prophecy magic, and he knew that the progress would not be too fast, but it took a whole night to master, and it was still unexpected.
Under the spirit starry sky, the exhausted Lukka lay on his back on the black ground, and a star finally lit up in the direction of the prophecy system, but when he looked up, he was surprised to find that the so-called "cheese ripening technique" that he had seen on the scroll before was almost close to the zenith, at least not lower than level ten - of course, it was dark now.
Could it be that all archmages are Jerry's reincarnation?Lukka shook his head, no longer bothered with the spell that looked like a prank, and left the spirit starry sky.
The morning sun poured into Luca's eyes through the east window, and the heat of the sun was scorching even in the early morning. Shut up, still in the shape of a book, open it in front of it, and fall asleep motionless. And the jewel in Luca's right hand is no longer transparent.
This 17 carat aquamarine is large enough, but not very strong. Overnight, the cracks took over the entire gemstone, and it looked like it would shatter at the slightest touch.
Lukka wasn't sure if it would be able to withstand his next spell, so he simply put the gem back in his bag and prepared to go back and put it with the dust.
Without taking any breaks, he reached out and picked up the chart.
Ten minutes later, a confetti-faced Lukka rushed out the door and went straight to the nautical shop, where he waited for an hour to open and bought all the charts in stock with the few silver coins he had left.
Returning to the tavern, apparently having missed breakfast, he grabbed a few pieces of bread and shrank back into his room, not even for lunch and dinner, but shut up and shouted, "Starve the birds!" and flew out and ate a few walnuts - let Daniel smash them with his scepter.
The next morning, when Leon arrived with the entry slip, he saw Luca, who had not slept all day, his hair was messy enough to shut up, his eyes were bloodshot, but his expression was quite excited.
Lukka held a rolled-up chart in his hand and handed it over.
Leon opened the chart and was stunned.
On this widely available print, there is a thin layer of shimmering color, some of which are still moving slowly.
"Yellow means there are big waves, red means super storms, black circles are areas where black sails are infested, and green areas are safe to navigate!" Luca explained, pointing to the different colors on the map.
"This can sell for a lot of money, right?" asked Ollie, who was watching from the sidelines.
"Forget it, he ruined more than 80 charts and a 14-carat gem to make such a one, and the cost is not worth it!"
