Chapter 39: Do You Want to Sell Masks?
Pierre left.
It's not that he wants to leave on his own - when the spiritualism is forcibly suspended, Xu Nan sees that he still has a lot to say and wants to talk about it—but because Susan's teleportation fan time is up, she will be forced to return to Grimm and Lexie.
The god of poverty had no choice but to cancel the spiritualism.
Before leaving, he repeatedly told Xu Nan to be attentive to his affairs.
Although Xu Nan was a little unwilling, if he thought about it carefully, in the style of the god of poverty, if he really came up with any material rewards for himself, it was estimated that there would be a problem.
On the other hand, helping him do something for free is equivalent to brushing up some favorability, and if you encounter any problems in the future, you may be able to ask him to help.
After all, Xu Nan knows that free is the most expensive.
Besides, this commission didn't consume much of his energy; Five hundred years of investigation time, the ghost knows what Xu Nan will be like in five hundred years, as long as he has time, he can go to the king capital of the Eastern Kingdom.
What makes Xu Nan most unhappy is that the negative effect of the cane for scattering wealth, although the city lord of Xu has recently become well-off with the news of buying and selling gods, he is not a wealthy landlord. Every time you use the solidification magic or spell on the cane, you have to consume a sum of money, which is really uncomfortable.
The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, so he intensified his search for the Mage Tower.
It's a pity that the place is outrageously poor, as Pierre said.
He tossed around for a long time, barely finding a piece of valuable information and a green capsule.
The green capsule is a flying leaf capsule.
【Jules's Flying Leaf Capsule】
[Quality: Legendary]
[Destination: Hinterland of Afaria, specific coordinates unknown]
[Advice: Stephen Sand's Flying Leaf Capsule is the best, but even the most excellent Flying Leaf Capsule has a certain probability of wrecking]
……
To be honest, this thing aroused Xu Nan's curiosity and attention.
The Flying Leaf Capsule is not a very rare magical item, and it has long matured in Stephen Sand, where the magical civilization is highly developed. This is an alchemy item that combines teleportation spells and advanced engineering.
When it first came out, it caused a stir, claiming to be an epoch-making invention that could lead to a revolution in the wizarding world, and its function was to replace teleportation spells and even portals for theoretically time-consuming long-distance travel.
However, it has been proved in practice that the cost of the flying leaf capsule is too high in short-distance travel, and the accuracy is not as good as that of the portal when teleporting over long distances, and the comfort is much worse.
Its only advantage is probably that it can teleport across planes, but there are not many people who really need to teleport across planes, and mages who have this need can arrange relevant magic arrays by themselves, where can they use the flying leaf capsules made by low-level mages?
As a result, the Flying Leaf Capsule fever quickly subsided, and only a few people are still trying to improve the item.
Xu Nan's attitude towards this is pessimistic.
After all, he didn't find similar alchemical items in Paradise Lost, which shows that Paradise Lost thinks that this thing has no knock-off value - the eyes of the Ron Warlocks are still vicious, and they copy Stephen Sand's alchemy items not because they don't refuse to come, but have a harsh critical eye.
To get back to the point, flying leaf capsules are not uncommon, but legendary quality flying leaf capsules can be said to be very rare.
Xu Nan studied it carefully and found that this flying leaf capsule was made by Jules himself, which could be used repeatedly and could set the teleportation location independently. At present, Jules has only lost a teleportation marker, and the location of that mark is actually in the hinterland of the Epfaria civilization in the north!
In other words, if Xu Nan activated this Flying Leaf Capsule, he would have the opportunity to enter that mysterious world; Of course, it is also possible that he will fall into the astral plane to say hello to his goblin brothers because of the crash of the capsule......
Either way, this stuff is kind of useful, and maybe it will come in handy in the future.
Xu Nan has no plans to go to the Efaria civilization in the short term, but he is prepared!
As for that information, it is Xu Nan who thinks that the biggest gain from this trip to the Mage Tower!
The information was written by Jules himself, to the effect that it was about the whereabouts of the magical civilization controlled by the God of Blood: it turned out that the corrupted magical civilization was carried by the God of Blood and entered the main material realm together.
It's just that its existence is very special, and it is integrated with the head of the God of Seven Blood, and the creatures in it, including the star spirits, have died, but the mineral deposits in it still exist.
Among them, the emerald resources are the most abundant!
Although Xu Nan is not a mage, he is an alchemist and knows what the foundation of magical civilization is—that is, magical resources.
Magical resources include three types of metals, as well as a variety of magical gems.
If the three types of metals are the high-rise buildings that support the Arcane Empire to dominate the multiverse, then the Magic Gem is the foundation of the edifice.
Among all kinds of gemstones, emerald is the most special.
As a pure energy gem, emeralds not only have excellent magical storage properties, but also naturally contain magical associated ores. For the Arcane Empire, the importance of emerald ore is probably about the same as that of oil on Earth.
Generally speaking, in areas where emerald mines are widely distributed, creatures will generally be contaminated with a certain amount of magical radiation, which can be good and bad, but the benefits are very obvious - even if these creatures are natives without the support of advanced civilizations, they can master some spell-like abilities. For example, the magical world that Jules strayed into before was forcibly spawned by a large number of emerald mines.
And now, these emerald mines are placed in front of Xu Nan's eyes.
Because emeralds have a strong self-propagation ability, and the god of seven blood who has been sleeping for many years cannot control this, so, under Jules's speculation, a large area of highly pure emerald mines has been born under the swamp of living corpses!
It's just that because of the seal, this place has not been detected.
Otherwise, Stephen Sand's mage, I'm afraid he would have been close to the water tower and the moon first.
"No wonder Wildfire City has such a high rating!"
"It turns out that there is a mine at home!"
Xu Nan suddenly realized.
But then he thought about it, how did Paradise Lost know about things that even Stephen Sand didn't know?
The only explanation is that there are people in the upper echelons of Paradise Lost who know that there are large deposits of emeralds......
Under the scrutiny of insight, this candidate quickly surfaced.
"It must be Mr. Romans!"
"According to Jules, he once came to Wildfire City to study; Later, I took it, and it is estimated that I also returned to Wildfire City to find trouble with Jules. It is estimated that it was at that time that he discovered the emerald mine here, but for some unknown reason, he did not mine it on a large scale. ”
"Isn't this mine mine?"
Xu Nan narrowed his eyes and was thinking carefully, just at this time, Emma next door had already packed up Jules's manuscript with a rather pious attitude, and then showed a relieved look.
It looks like these things mean a lot to her.
Xu Nan is not jealous, anyway, everyone is not a person all the way, and he can't experience the happiness of Xueba.
He quietly put away the priceless piece of information, and he had no interest in sharing potential benefits with this madwoman until the emerald mine was officially identified and developed.
"Are these manuscripts useful?"
Xu Nan coughed and asked.
Emma showed a pilgrimage-like pious look: "It works! ”
"Very useful!"
"It's a lifesaver!"
Xu Nan was a little surprised: "So powerful? What are they? ”
Emma smiled:
"These are all some papers that Archmage Jules wrote boringly when he was young, and it is estimated that he felt that these ideas were not mature enough, and many of the theories in them were worthy of scrutiny, so they were not published."
"But for me, every paper here can be copied and published—it just so happens that my supervisor has given me the task of writing a paper in a high-level academic journal of magic every three years; With these manuscripts, I don't have to write a dissertation anymore! ”
Xu Nan was silent.
Sure enough, habits are contagious, and it is estimated that there is too much allowance for Paradise Lost, and this kind of thing is also easy to copy, without any psychological burden.
Even if these manuscripts were written by their own teachers' teachers.
He just wanted to ask more about the content of the manuscript, but who knew that at this time, there was a commotion at the bottom of the mage tower!
Then there was a strong tremble, the floor shook wildly, and large swaths of inferior paint fell wildly.
This mage tower looks like it's going to collapse!
"What's the situation?"
The two quickly rushed to the basement to check.
At the bottom, they finally met those adventurers.
A squad of adventurers from the Sebalon family was hiding in the corner, trembling to hide from something; Gray, on the other hand, was better, with his sword in one hand, his back against the wall, his eyes cautiously scanning the smoke!
"Lord Song of the small city!"
The people of Sebalon's team jumped up as if they saw Xu Nan as if they saw a savior: "That monster is in!" ”
"It's terrible...... We are not opponents! ”
Xu Nan nodded, and soon saw a huge monster in the smoke!
An aberration of the God of Blood.
It actually seeped in.
At this time, Xu Nan didn't bother to complain about Emma's previous statement that Mage Tari was the safest.
He just wants to solve the problem as soon as possible.
Who knew that the aberrant didn't pay any attention to them, but instead frantically plowed the ground, and a huge amount of dirt was raised, like a construction site.
The adventurers' nerves were tense, but some of them were choking and coughing wildly.
At first, they were scared, but then they were shocked to realize that the aberrations didn't seem to have any interest in them at all.
It was like a dog, digging the ground like crazy, as if it had buried bones here.
Seeing the adventurers and Gray dodging the dust in some embarrassment, Xu Nan groaned.
It's not a way to go on like this.
Emma saw Xu Nan's expression, and couldn't help but say:
"Do you want to sell masks?"
