Chapter 66: Magic & Secret (3)

"What's even more frustrating is that. Under the temptation of money, some people have begun to take advantage of the loopholes of the promotion rules, taking the promotion of junior magicians as an example, as long as you release five third-level magic, you can pass. If you don't attach a magic core, if you only use it once, you can release a magic item of five third-level magic, and there are at least more than fifty people on the continent who can make it, and the cost of manufacturing it is less than 100 gold coins. After being promoted to a junior mage, you can enjoy a monthly allowance of 100 gold coins for life, and it will only increase and cannot be reduced. ”

Red interjected, "Doesn't that mean that as long as you are willing to spend some money, you can buy this kind of magic item to cheat?"

Alina retorted to Red, "When you are promoted, you use magic items, so the mage who tests it will not find out?"

Red slapped Alina's head lightly, and said disapprerovitically: "Spend 2,000 gold coins to buy magic items, and then bribe the test magician with a few thousand gold coins, anyway, if you pass the promotion, you can recover 1,200 gold coins a year, as long as he is not short-lived, he will recover the capital after four or five years of life, and then there will be a steady stream of gold coins." It's worth the business!"

Victor sighed and said, "As Red said, this situation is not uncommon on the mainland. That's why I've always been reluctant to make too many magic items for Faraz, on the one hand, it's not good for me to use external forces to improve my strength, and on the other hand, I don't want others to mistakenly think that she was also promoted through this means. ”

Faras finally understood the teacher's thoughts, and she thanked Victor and said, "Thank you, Victor Sensei. ”

Victor waved his hand and said, "You're my student, don't keep thanking you." ”

Ryan asked, "What about the promotion of intermediate and senior magicians?"

Victor smiled dumbly and said, "To be promoted to an intermediate magician, you need to release seven fourth-level magic, while a high-level magician is nine fifth-level magic, and the cost of a magic item that can release a fourth-level magic will be at least 100 times higher than that of a third-level magic." And fifth-level magic, hehe, there are no more than five people in the entire continent who can make this kind of magic item, such as me. But do you think I'd do this for tens of thousands of gold coins?"

Farass pinched the back of Ryan's hand hard, and the sudden pain made Ryan scream.

Ryan said aggrievedly, "What's wrong, why are you pinching me?"

Faras said viciously: "Ryan, you are really stupid, my teacher is a great magician, and his monthly allowance is more than one million, do you think he would do such a boring thing for that little money?"

Victor laughed and said: "Actually, money is still a small thing, the key is that the magic guild is not stupid, for the promotion of high-level magicians, many magicians are generally invited to watch the ceremony, unless the promoter uses hundreds of millions of gold coins to bribe all the magicians who watch the ceremony, otherwise it ......"

Ryan coughed and said self-deprecatingly, "Hundreds of millions of gold coins? ”

Everyone laughed together.

Victor waited for everyone to laugh and continued: "This kind of promotion, it's okay not to go. However, there is always a standard for the strength of a magician, so I got one myself. This thing is mainly to test the strength of the magician in all aspects, and then conduct an evaluation to find out the shortcomings of the magician, and improve the shortcomings. ”

Faras replied, "Okay, Victor, such a good thing, he didn't tell me or let me use it." ”

Victor shook his head and said, "With your Faraz's strength, you don't need to test to know the result." Did you know that that one test will cost at least 100,000 gold coins? ”

Ryan was frightened by the huge gold coin, and he hesitated and said, "Then it's better to forget it." There's no reason to spend money on me. ”

Faras glared at Ryan fiercely and said, "Isn't it 100,000? It's not for you to come out, my teacher Victor has a monthly allowance of one million, which is enough for you to take ten tests." ”

Victor smiled bitterly and said: "Faraz, don't keep talking about this amount, do you know, just the space-time gate scroll I gave you to defend yourself, it costs more than 2 million gold coins for one of them, and I usually do five to succeed in one, otherwise do you really think that my mage tower is full of shiny gold coins? I'm not a dragon, I don't have that hobby." ”

Faras couldn't help but say, "So this thing is so expensive? ”

"Do you think that if you were not my student, you would have seen such a thing?" over the years, I have made no more than 10 of them, and except for one of which I have kept on my body, the others have been given to important people by His Majesty the Emperor. I secretly made you stay. ”

Faraz waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that I won't have any money now." Ryan, let's go on an adventure next time, if we don't have money to spend, then take this scroll to auction, and I guess it's okay to sell it for a few million gold coins, right?"

"Millions?" said Victor in a loud voice, "that one is at least fifty million or more, and it still has no price." After all, there aren't many people on this continent who can do this. ”

Ryan remembered the used teleportation scroll he had seen in Giethoorn, and he asked Victor, "Master Victor, who else but you would make it?"

Victor shook his head and said, "At present, I am the only one in the entire empire who will do it." But it is not excluded that others will do it and are reluctant to speak out. ”

Ryan continued, "Aside from the scrolls you made, have you seen or heard of other people having similar scrolls, or have the scrolls rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor have been lost?"

Victor gave Ryan a deep look and said, "You want to ask if that one in Giethoorn is my work, right?"

Ryan was a little embarrassed by Victor's words, but the stakes were high, he still looked into Victor's eyes, and said firmly: "I'm not suspicious of anyone, I just want to understand." ”

Victor nodded and said, "Yes, it's rare not to blindly trust others." But you're going to be disappointed, this scroll wasn't made by me, and even its craftsmanship is beyond my level. ”

"What?" Ryan wondered at Victor's words, if he could surpass Victor, who had the title of the first enchanter on the continent, who would make it?

"The reason why your magic items were made a little later is because I went to study the used scrolls. Victor said truthfully: "The harvest is not small." ”

Although Ryan wanted to know about the teleportation scroll, he also knew that this matter was very important, and he was not an important person, and others might not tell him, so he couldn't help but ask.
