Chapter 8: Arnold

Mages are admirable and awe-inspiring wherever they go, and they are powerful and eerie. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But becoming a mage requires talent, they need a huge mental power and a high elemental affinity to perceive the elements, and they need a high level of intelligence and keen insight to understand spell construction.

Therefore, the number of mages is small, and their status is noble because of the scarcity of numbers.

Low-level mages don't have much influence yet, but once they break through to the high-level, their strength will change dramatically.

At the same time, their life-saving methods will also increase, such as the ornaments blessed with various protective spells on their bodies, and the exquisite mage robes covered with magic circles, they hold magic staff sealed with high-level spells in their hands, and the space ring is full of various spell scrolls, and some even have rare teleportation scrolls.

Even if they can't beat the melee class, it's okay to escape easily.

There is no way to kill a high-level mage in one fell swoop without using several times more strength than a high-level mage, and if they are escaped by the mage, then they will be greeted by the undying anger of a high-level mage.

Therefore, the forces on the continent will maintain a respect for high-level mages, and they will definitely not easily provoke a powerful mage.

Mages are also in groups, they will spontaneously organize some small groups for communication and learning, and the largest mage organization on the mainland is the Mage Guild.

The Mage Guild is a loose organization with a staggering number of mages dedicated to exploring the higher realms of mages and experimenting with advanced abilities.

The mages are also rich, but they are also short of money.

The various spell scrolls they made were the most sought after by the nobles, and those noble lords were willing to spend a lot of money on these life-saving scrolls. Especially the space teleportation scroll made by the space mage, that will make the great nobles who are desperate for their lives crazy.

If a mage is willing to take refuge in a certain force, the offerings they enjoy are also astronomical.

However, mages are also always short of money, they have been spending money, they will make more and more high-grade protective ornaments for themselves, and the materials they use when making them are the best, these are all costly.

Whenever they need to learn more powerful spells, the gold and materials they pay will make their hearts ache if they don't have a generous teacher.

Every time a mage who is proficient in alchemy does an experiment, they consume not materials, but piles and piles of gold. Every time a mage who is proficient in the secret medicine makes an attempted improvement, the materials consumed will be too much for a wealthy kingdom to bear.

So the mages are rich, and at the same time they are short of money.

And the nine mages in front of Tang Feng, except for the ordinary robes on their bodies that were so simple that they couldn't be more simple, they didn't even have a low-level magic staff.

Therefore, Arnold was very dissatisfied with his request, he needed a set of outfits that were in line with his status. This includes, but is not limited to, mage robes, staffs, and spatial rings.

If Tang Feng can't provide them with finished products, then it's okay to give them materials, and they will make them themselves.

What is this called, Tang Feng's excitement just now was splashed with this basin of cold water. What the hell! They even ask for it!

Tang Feng had never seen anyone in his previous ranks who would make their own requests, which obviously meant that the mages had their own thoughts.

Although their loyalty to Tang Feng would not change in the slightest because of this, they did express their desires, and they hoped that Tang Feng could satisfy them.

The nine mages led by Arnold looked at Tang Feng silently with longing in their eyes, although the eight behind were only fourth-level mages, they were also noble intermediate mages.

Since they are mages, they need a set of outfits that can match their identity. They are not wandering mages, they are organized, and they are loyal to His Excellency Tang Feng, then they represent the wealth of the Qingfeng Leader and Tang Feng's face.

Although he was very reluctant to admit it, Tang Feng also had to say that what they said was very reasonable. If Griffin came back and saw these naked mages, he probably had some bad ideas.

After all, as a big family, the strength of the mage group reflects the financial resources and influence of this big family to a certain extent.

Therefore, it is very necessary to equip these mages with a set of extravagant outfits, and Arnold needs a set of outfits that are far beyond his strength.

As a rare space mage, no matter how extravagant, it is acceptable.

"Honorable Lord!" Arnold spoke again, "I heard that you are going to raise me to rank seven?"

Hearing Arnold's words, although Tang Feng already had a bad premonition in his heart, he still replied, "Yes, as long as you gather five million lower grade spirit stones, you will be promoted to the seventh level." ”

"So!" Arnold glanced at Tang Feng cautiously, pondered the words, and then said word by word: "I think I need a mage tower that can match my status as a seventh-level mage!"

The eyes of the eight mages behind Arnold lit up, although their strength was not enough to have a mage tower alone, but each of them could also be worthy of their identity if they had a laboratory alone.

Tang Feng's face had already begun to turn pale, damn it, they even wanted the Mage Tower and the laboratory.

After snatching the Qingfeng Collar from Count Dale, Tang Feng counted all his belongings. Excluding all kinds of calligraphy and painting antiques, there were only 114,507 gold coins in cash.

These were all hidden in the secret vault in the basement by Count Dale, and Tang Feng didn't have time to enjoy them after he took over.

Even if all these gold coins were taken out, it was estimated that they would not even be able to build the foundation of a mage tower.

The most humble mage tower costs millions of gold at the lowest cost. The slightly better ones cost tens of millions of gold coins. And as the rarest space mage among mages, his mage tower must not be an ordinary mage tower. In other words, without at least hundreds of millions of gold coins, don't think about building a space-based mage tower.

Damn the Mage Tower!After counting this, Tang Feng's face had already begun to turn blue, and his eyes looking at the mages were not as enthusiastic as before.

Now in Tang Feng's opinion, what he saw in front of him was no longer a strategic fort, but nine black holes, nine black holes that had no bottom and would only devour gold coins.

The wise mages could easily see Tang Feng's mood at this time from Tang Feng's face, and Arnold hurriedly took two steps forward to introduce Tang Feng to the great usefulness of the mages.

On the battlefield, it's never the destructive power of mages that is needed, and the melee classes will exert more powerful combat power than them.

All the mages need to do is to be in the rear, using their powerful field control ability to support the soldiers on the battlefield.

In this regard, the three heroic classes of the Mage do a perfect job: the Priest heals the soldiers, and their healing abilities can crumble the enemy troops, the Light Mage can give the soldiers buffs such as fearless courage, purify evil, and banish fear, and their morale is unmatched, and the Necromancer is notorious, they only need one person to pull up an army of undead, and they will also cast negative spells on the enemy.

As for outside the battlefield, wood-based mages can promote the growth of crops, of course, there has never been a force on the mainland that would use wood-based mages to do such lowly work.

Except for the elven clan's wood mages who will release wood buff spells on a large scale, of course, not on crops, their targets are all tall species such as oak and silver fir that can give birth to tree people.

Earth mages have a unique talent for defense, and powerful earth mages can create a city on the ground.

And the rare poison mage under Tang Feng belongs to the variant of the wood mage, his ability does not need to be described, his methods are really bloodless, and an entire territory can be wiped out by him overnight.

And their various weird blessing spells are even more unguardable, for example, when Tang Feng's assassins go to carry out assassination missions, if they use an invisible scroll, then the success rate of this assassination will skyrocket.

If this still doesn't feel safe, then you can also add two more spell scrolls before the mission, such as the anti-stealth detection spell scroll, the armor-piercing scroll, the lethality judgment scroll, and a series of spell scrolls.

But the basis of all this was Tang Feng's willingness to spend a huge amount of gold coins to support their research.

Perhaps seeing that his lord really didn't have the financial resources, Arnold generously said that the Mage Tower could be temporarily relieved, but Tang Feng had to build a large laboratory for them, otherwise the beautiful scene mentioned by Arnold would not be realized.

Gritting his teeth, Tang Feng was very sad to find that he didn't even have the money to build a large laboratory.

The priority is not to build a laboratory for them, but to procure a suit for them. Tang Feng could still afford to purchase a line for eight fourth-level mages.

But Tang Feng couldn't just create these nine mages, so the costumes of the mages created later had to be purchased.

In this way, Tang Feng's money on hand was simply not enough to support one of the expenses.

There was no way, Tang Feng could only decide to give Arnold a set of outfits first, although Tang Feng could not take out the money for this set.

On this otherworldly continent, Tang Feng once again felt the pain of lack of money, Tang Feng originally thought that he had traveled to the otherworld, with such an anti-heaven system, he would be able to live a life of drunkenness, but he never expected that he would be short of money.

"Is it really my fate to lack money!" Tang Feng thought blankly, "How did you get to the other world, which is also the world of money!"

"And ......"

"And?" Tang Feng's voice involuntarily raised a few points, and he looked at Arnold in front of him with an unkind face, "What else?"

Arnold smiled bitterly and said, "We need some spirit stones for cultivation. ”

"Oh, that's it. Tang Feng pondered for a moment and then said, "After you reach the seventh level, you will take out the spirit stone for your cultivation." ”

Arnold didn't have half an opinion on this decision, and the other eight mages also agreed.

The spirit stones given to them for cultivation must not be top-grade spirit stones, in that case it would be too wasteful, and their strength would not be able to use top-grade spirit stones at all.

Fortunately, the spirit stone mine can be exchanged for spirit stone grades, and giving them a batch of medium-grade spirit stones can meet their cultivation needs.

After Tang Feng brought them to Beth City with a blushing face, Arnold was very excited to apply to Tang Feng for a batch of research after seeing the elemental pool in the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion.

According to him, if they could decipher the composition of these gems, then he might be able to replicate them.

It was precisely because of his statement that Tang Feng generously allocated a batch of elemental gems to them.

However, after Arnold had consumed hundreds of elemental gems in just a few days, Tang Feng understood the speed of the mage's waste, and could only reluctantly and urgently order a reduction in the supply of gems to them, which also caused Arnold some small dissatisfaction, but Tang Feng ignored it.

Tang Feng felt that he shouldn't have believed that Arnold could copy these gems at all, and even if he could, it would definitely not be something that Arnold of this strength could do, so he ignored Arnold's protests.

As for Arnold's preparations, this was not something that Tang Feng could solve directly, so he called Luo Jia.
