After getting Alexander's money, Mick hurriedly went to the registration office to pay the tuition fee.

In the end, he chose the battle magic department instead of the alchemy equipment department. Because he felt that it would be difficult to accumulate enough military merits by making equipment alone, and without military merits, he would not have the right to speak, and he would not be able to complete his ideals.

In addition, perhaps the scene that happened at Wild Strawberry Manor still stung him deeply, making him yearn for strong combat power, especially after having Power Source One.

After paying the tuition, Mick rented a small apartment near the Academy of Magic, and then purchased a large number of magic materials and alchemy tools, and arranged this temporary residence into a small alchemy laboratory.

It only took him five minutes to repair the crimson split, and when the experiment was correct, Mick immediately tossed the valuable magic sword aside and never looked at it again.

At this moment, he devoted himself to the modification of "Power Source No. 1".

Originally, Power Source No. 1 could only convert divine power into magic, but this time, he made a major adjustment to his masterpiece.

Mick replaced the original cycle circle and replaced it with a new cycle circle that could transform fighting energy and magic. Four separate dedicated magic circles were then added to the periphery of the circle so that they could achieve the preset magic effects.

With the basis for designing Power Source No. 1, he quickly figured out the conversion method of Dou Qi and magic, and after rigorous calculations and tests, he quickly determined various parameters and completed the design of Power Source No. 2 in half a day.

Power Source 2, which can perfectly convert fighting energy into magic power, and then cast a few specific spells, makes Mick's design universal, rather than serving him alone.

Then, Mick pulled out a shield.

The shield is very heavy, and the various decorations and patterns are also beautiful. However, the shield itself is made of ordinary steel, and has no magical properties attached, only slightly better than the standard equipment of the Imperial soldiers.

Mick carefully inscribed Power Source II on the back of the shield. Then, with more than a dozen high-purity magic materials that had been purified by himself, he configured a sticky coating with strong energy barrier, and glued a whole piece of deep-sea wurm skin with magical protection to the back of the shield to shield the power source No. 2.

Even with the second-level magic True Eye, there is no magic fluctuation at all.

Mick felt that his new alchemical work looked beautiful and comfortable to use, and the most important thing was that people who had not seen it would definitely mistake it for an ordinary steel shield.

In the gladiatorial arena or on the battlefield, the slightest negligence can change the final result, let alone a complete miscalculation?

Mick Thief grinned, hugged the steel shield and kissed him fiercely.

Two days later, Mick arrived at the War College with a large package on his back and a crimson cut. Alexander did not show up, but a strange uncle with a beard called out to him.

"My name is Doppler, and Lord Alexander asked me to pick you up. ”

From the outside, this Uncle Doppler seems to be very ordinary, but for some reason, Mick feels a vague pressure from him, which is subtle and deep, which immediately reminds him of those mysterious enemies who want to take him down.

Mick didn't hesitate to activate the Eye of Insight.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it. Under Mick's true eyes, this uncle was entangled in vindictive energy, like a person made of vindictive energy.

Mick had seen a mid-level warrior around level four with his true eyes before, and there were only a few fighting qi in and out of his body. Compared to him, this Uncle Doppler is obviously more than one or two levels higher.

Mick speculated that this uncle's strength should be at least above level seven.

This means that if Uncle Doppler wants to be against him, he can only use his fingers...... Mick's heart jumped, as if he had been pressed against his chest by a boulder, and there was a faint sweat on his forehead.

He obediently followed Doppler into a luxurious carriage. However, fear will turn all enjoyment into a wax chew. Not only did Mick not enjoy such luxuries at all, but felt a little like pins and needles.

"This is your invitation. Doppler handed Mick a red magic invitation with a simple magic circle on it to distinguish the authenticity.

Mick carefully held the invitation in his hand and asked respectfully, "This ...... Belch...... Uncle. Isn't Alexander coming today?"

"Come on, but he still has some things to attend to today, and he'll come later. ”

"And this sword ......"

"Give it to me first. ”

Mick gave him the sword directly at Doppler's request. It's not that Mick doesn't have the heart to defend people, it's just that in the face of a big master who has reached at least level seven, it seems that the difference between him giving it and not giving it is not too big.

What the hell is Alexander's origin? Not only is he so rich, but he's also incredibly powerful, so he must not have anything to do with the Beckman family.

Mick thought about his thoughts and made his way to the Council of Wizards of Maltis. Doppler sent him here and left, relieved not to have the master by his side.

The Council of Wizards of Maltiss is naturally much grander than the Snow Blue Castle, with seven or eight buildings of all kinds alone.

Mick wasted a lot of effort to find the magic hall where the press conference was held.

It is said to be a press conference, but it is actually a large-scale magic fair. Before the official press conference, there will be quite a few magicians here to trade magical equipment and materials. There are also some low-level magic alchemists who will take the opportunity to sell their creations.

Naturally, the conference was indispensable for businessmen, nobles and representatives of the military. Because such a press conference can often dig up a lot of missing pearls, or talents that have not yet emerged. However, there are also many people or things that are indiscriminate, and the specific income is to accompany depends on your vision.

Mick was looking for a place to delay the time, and when he entered, the official press conference was about to begin. Everyone flocked to the main hall, and the most powerful waves would go straight to the boxes on the second floor, while the others would have to huddle into the small seats on the first floor.

Mick looked around carefully and found that all the seats were full, and some people without seats even crowded into the aisles of the hall, excitedly waiting for the press conference to begin.

It seems that this Master Stephen does have some fame.

Mick was thinking about it when a third-level magician suddenly walked in the middle of the hall, who blessed himself with an amplification spell and said impassionedly: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is a pleasure to be here today to witness the birth of another masterpiece of Master Stephen! ”

The atmosphere in the hall was immediately hot, and there was warm applause.

In a private room on the second floor, Doppler respectfully handed Alexander a crimson split.

Alexander took the long sword, and the brilliance of fighting spirit and magic appeared on his body at the same time, under the interplay of the two powers, the crimson split and shot out a thin red light more than a meter long, Alexander shook his wrist, and lightly pulled out a sword flower, which suddenly turned into a silk thread, dancing with the sword body.

Where the silk thread passed, all objects were torn apart, whether it was tables, chairs, sofas, or armor and weapons for decoration, without the slightest delay, and the cut surface was as smooth as a mirror.

What's even more terrifying is that the whole process did not stir up a trace of dust or make a sound.

"This is the real Assassination Hallows, Crimson Scarlet!Ever since it was damaged in the Bloodline War, it has been silent until now, but I didn't expect this kid to really repair it!" Alexander, full of surprise and uncontrollable admiration.

Even Doppler behind him couldn't help but open his mouth wide, shocked by the true power of the Crimson Split.

After the surprise, Alexander put away his sword and asked Doppler, "How do you feel about following him for two days and getting in close contact with him for a while today?"

Thinking of Mick, Doppler's face sank and he said: "His perception is very keen, and I was discovered by him almost as soon as I got close. ”

"Oh?" Alexander's face flashed with a hint of surprise, and then suddenly: "No wonder your face is so ugly, an eighth-level assassin was actually seen through the disguise by a first-level magician at a glance, hahahaha." ”

Doppler was not angry at Alexander's ridicule, but said, "My lord, I always think he is a little weird. ”

"What's weird?"

"I don't know, it's just a feeling......"

Alexander waved his hand: "Magic alchemists are always a little weird, don't worry too much, I'm looking forward to his weirdness......"

Bauer stood on the stage and talked at length about Master Stephen's glorious past, until Mick was drowsy, and then he turned the conversation around and began to get down to business.

"Today's work, I think everyone must have understood it in the previous introduction. It's the last and most crucial piece in the Gears of War series, the War Barrier!

Bauer's final introduction brought the conference to a climax, and Master Stephen appeared with a smile amid thunderous applause.

He was wearing a dark red ** robe, about forty years old, with a thin figure and very ordinary facial features, but he was full of the charm of a mature man.

After a brief self-introduction, Master Stephen waved his sleeve, and a holographic image immediately appeared on the podium. In the image is an ornate square shield with a glittering magical glow, which complements the exquisite relief, which is shocking to look at.

Just a hologram sparked a burst of admiration, and Master Stephen cleared his throat with satisfaction and said aloud, "The War Barrier has five third-level physical defense techniques, three fourth-level magic defense techniques, and one fifth-level magic healing technique. It can be recycled by charging it, and it doesn't require the user to have magical powers, so it's an epoch-making work!"

"It actually pre-solidified nine spells at once. ”

"There's even a fifth-level magic in the middle!"

"Recyclable, it's an incredible masterpiece!"

Magical equipment is divided into two main categories.

The first type is enchanted magic equipment, which is on forged equipment, and through enchantment, the equipment has a certain magical ability, which can be understood as a special magic scroll.

The advantages of this equipment are that it is simple to use, has low requirements for users, is relatively easy to design and manufacture, and is relatively low in cost.

However, it is limited by the fact that it cannot be recycled, and it is very poorly sustainable, and once the magic stored inside is used up, the value of the equipment will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, the instability of the enchantment process itself also determines that the embedded magic of this equipment can only be a castrated version, and the power will not be too strong.

Even stat bonus enchantments decay over time, and are basically consumables that are impossible to pass down except for a few top-notch creations.

The second category is called permanent magical equipment, which can be used permanently and does not require much maintenance.

His advantage is that each of his pre-stored manas is a complete version, which is powerful, and after the pre-stored mana is exhausted, it can also absorb the user's mana, temporarily recharge, and fight for a long time. And no matter how long it is stored, there will be no power attenuation, and it can be used to pass it on.

Its limitation is that it must consume the user's mana when it is used. In other words, even if the user is not a mage or magic swordsman, they must have a container for storing their magical power.

In addition, the design and manufacture of permanent magic equipment is very difficult and extremely expensive. Only the top masters or big forces have the financial resources to use.

Master Stephen's War Barrier is somewhere between these two types of magical equipment, taking into account the widespread and sustainable use of the equipment.

The so-called semi-solidification means that the permanent magic preset hole is embedded by means of enchantment, and after the internal magic is used, the mage can be asked to recharge the equipment. It can be regarded as a limited solution to the limitations of the two types of equipment.

This is a bold attempt, and it is also a very innovative alchemy idea, and it is also a challenge to the alchemist's manufacturing level. In particular, after the five third-level magic and three fourth-level magic were sub-solidified, a fifth-level magic was added, which immediately doubled the difficulty of this work.

Of course, the value of the equipment will more than double as a result. After all, being able to obtain a level 5 magic healing technique on the battlefield is equivalent to an extra life. No warrior would refuse such a temptation.

The people who came to this conference are all connoisseurs, and you can see the value of this equipment without too much introduction.

They generally believe that it is not an exaggeration for Master Stephen to call this work an epoch-making product, and that its appearance may lead the future development trend of magical equipment.

Of course, in the praise of the audience, there are also discordant voices.

After listening to Master Stephen's introduction, Mick muttered disdainfully: "How dare you claim to be an epoch-making product of such an opportunistic design?"

Originally, it didn't hurt to make a bad comment in secret, after all, nothing can win everyone's love.

It's just that his muttering is a bit loud......

To be exact, it was very big! It overshadowed the praise of the audience, like a roar.

In an instant, everyone looked at this guy who was talking wildly.

Master Stephen, who was accustomed to compliments, stood in the center of the hall even more awkwardly, his face pale.

"Aha, the show begins. In the box, Alexander laughed out loud and instructed Doppler: "Remember to give our little friend some necessary support for a while, and don't embarrass him too much." ”
