Chapter 154: The Sacred Tower Mission (Part 3)
Trying to start the tango, Mark found that after being hit so hard, the tango could still drive. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info But the acceleration is obviously not as fast as before, and there are some strange noises mixed in.
"Looks like we're going to have to fix it. β
He shook his head and set his course, and was about to go back when a strange message suddenly came from the crystal ball.
Mark hesitated, and casually connected:
"Is this Mr. Mark, please?"
"Yes, are youβ"
"This is the General Management Department of the Icefield Santa Tower, my name is Cartel, if you have time now, please come over now, I will be waiting for you in the office. The location is the office No. 2135 of the General Management Department of the Holy Tower on the third floor of the Comprehensive Temple!"
"Then I'll come over now!"
Cutting off the signal, Mark started his tango and quickly drove towards the Holy Tower. I wondered what was going on, could it be that the Dark Witch Ministry was making trouble for me? But after all this time, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?
After thinking about it for a long time, Mark didn't think of any reliable situation, so he simply didn't think about it, and after entering the gate of the Holy Tower, Tango galloped directly towards the comprehensive hall.
Half an hour later, Mark met Cartel in Office 2135, an old man with a big beard, a second-level wizard. Looking at the fluctuating strength of his spiritual power, it should not be high, but he looks very kind. After seeing Mark, he kindly led him to the side of the sofa to sit down, and made two cups of tea himself.
After a few pleasantries, the cartel got to business.
"Mr. Mark, it's been more than ten years since you were promoted to an official wizard, right?"
"Yes, it's been more than ten years. Mark did the math for a moment and nodded.
"The Holy Tower has the rules of the Holy Tower, and the Holy Tower will try its best to cultivate during the wizard's apprenticeship, and once it is promoted to the official wizard, it is time to repay the Holy Tower. If everyone only knows how to ask and don't contribute, then no matter how strong the Holy Tower is, it will only go downhill step by step, I wonder what Mr. Mark thinks?"
"That's true!" Mark nodded again, having a rough guess about beckoning him over.
Seeing Mark nod, the cartel smiled and continued:
"That's right, Mr. Mark, you have been promoted to an official wizard for more than ten years, and I believe that your cultivation has been completely stabilized, and the Holy Tower has different tasks for each official wizard, and the tasks of first-level wizards can be roughly divided into three categories. β
Speaking of which, the cartel took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and began to speak:
"The first category is the garrison category. There are a total of sixty-six Grey Towers underneath the Icefield Holy Tower, and you can choose to go to the Grey Tower below to teach for fifty years. After 500 years, returning to the Holy Tower will be rewarded according to your merits. Of course, the more remote the Grey Tower, the higher the return. Take your home continent of Epheras, for example, where the rewards are the highest.
The second type is the left-behind class, which is the Santa administrator you often see, and the people below are called the Blue Guards. I'm sure you've seen quite a few of them. Under normal circumstances, the duty is one year and one year off, and the blue guards can get the greatest guarantee because both safety and cultivation resources can be guaranteed, so the time is a bit long, a hundred years!
The third category is also the left-behind class, but it is not the administrator of the Holy Tower, but the administrator of the Holy City, which belongs to the independent organization of the Holy City Administration, and wears purple overalls, known as the Purple Guard. The Holy City is too huge, and the people living in it are uneven, with all kinds of killers, criminals and even dark wizards hiding in it. Therefore, the work of the purple guards is very dangerous, and there is no official vacation time, so they can only adjust it by themselves.
Every year, a considerable proportion of the Purple Guards in each district die unexpectedly, and of course, this is also a very training position. This kind of mission is only ten years long, and although there are no additional rewards like the Administrator of the Holy Tower, there is no need to hand over the loot obtained during the mission, and there is still a lot of extra money. If you think you're good, give it a try. β
At this point, the cartel paused, lowered his head and took a few more sips of tea, then raised his head and asked:
"I wonder what kind of assignment Mr. Mark intends to choose?"
Mark raised his eyebrows: "The third category, the Holy City Administrator, the Purple Guard!"
He didn't have that much time to waste on tasks for the Holy Tower, and ten years was the limit. It's a bit dangerous, but it's just a good time to hone yourself.
"Young man, many high-spirited young wizards have chosen the same way you did at first, but now a large part of them have disappeared from this world. Before I decide on the task, I have to remind you that the best stage for accepting this task is a second-level wizard, so that life can be guaranteed. β
Mark shook his head: "Needless to say, I've already decided!"
The cartel looked at Mark with calm eyes, and after a long moment he spoke earnestly:
"I've heard your name, you're a recognized genius pharmacist in the Saint Martial Continent, and I also admire you very much in this regard. I want you to focus on pharmacy instead of fighting. You must know that your contribution to the wizarding world in pharmacy is definitely far greater than your contribution to killing a few dark wizards. β
Hearing Cartel's words, Mark smiled gratefully, he understood that for the average genius pharmacist, Cartel's words were absolutely true, but Mark didn't want to be a pure pharmacist.
"Thank you for your advice, but I've decided to take the path of the Holy City Administrator!" Mark's tone remained firm.
"Well, I can only give you advice, and it's up to you to make the final decision. β
Cartel shook his head and sighed, "I'll report your choice as soon as possible, and there will be a report tomorrow morning at the latest, and then it will be up to your luck to which district you are assigned to." Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu District is the most chaotic of the four districts, which are concentrated in a large number of red light districts, casinos and night clubs. Last year, the death rate of the Santa administrators in that district was as high as 6.8%, good luck!"
Mark nodded, "Thank you for the reminder! Mr. Cartel!"
Leaving the complex, Mark returns to the villa to find that Helen and Linda have returned. Helen smiled bitterly when he heard that Mark was called by the Santa Administration:
"Why didn't you tell me earlier, in fact, you have a fourth choice. β
"What?"
"Paying 100 million magic stones can be exempted from this task. I was like that back then, 100 million magic stones for the average person was almost impossible, but it was too easy for you. β
"Damn! So I was fooled by the old man?" Mark patted his head when he heard the news, and turned to go back.
"It's too late! Once the application is handed in, even if you can ask the Holy Lord to speak for you, it will be useless. It's better to be ready to stay in the Holy City Administration for ten years, but fortunately, you have chosen this task, and you only need to waste ten years, if it is anything else, it will be even worse. Helen looked speechless.
"Why didn't the old man make it clear to me beforehand?" asked Mark, annoyed.
"People who have this financial resources know it, and those who don't know must not have this financial resources, and this kind of thing is generally not talked about on the surface, when it's Linda's turn, I'll help her pay her 100 million!"
Helen said and glanced at Linda beside her, the sisterhood between her and Linda has deepened in the past ten years, Linda just smiled gratefully when she heard Helen's words, and then looked at Mark with a funny face, and said:
"Go, go, we'll take care of this villa for you!
"Okay, that's all there is to it. Mark nodded helplessly, speaking of which, it is not a bad thing to go out to exercise, although the deduction of the witchcraft model will be delayed for a few years, and the growth of mental power and the degree of elementalization will also slow down, but the experience can also improve combat skills, which is still good for the improvement of overall strength.
"By the way, Helen, there's one more thing I don't understand. Mark stopped Helen, who was about to go to the alchemy lab, "That little cloth bag I saw Belcrony take out today seems to be a storage device?"
"That thing is called a gift bag, and it is also refined by wizards using space stones, but this kind of gift bag cannot be refined by ordinary wizards, and it must be a relatively skilled alchemist. This pouch is semi-enclosed, making it suitable for warriors, and while not as convenient as wizards' storage equipment, it is a good choice for warriors. β
Mark nodded, "I see! Wizards rely on crystal balls to connect with each other, but what about warriors?"
"There is a kind of xenobee that is difficult to see with the naked eye when flying, and it is extremely fast, called the Swift Shadow Bee. No matter where it is, no matter how far away, as long as it is in the same world, it is very easy to find the location of its owner. Warriors with a little capital will domesticate some and put them on their bodies to transmit information. When you need to contact someone, you can release the Swift Shadow Bee that was given by whom. β
Helen said as she stretched out her hand, and a pale gray Shadow Bee appeared in the palm of her hand. This Swift Shadow Bee is actually half the size of Helen's palm, and I really can't tell where Helen got it from. Mark looked Helen up and down for a long time, still confused.
"Haha - the Swift Shadow Bee is a creature, but it can't fit in a wizard's storage space, but it can fit into a warrior's bag. Storage equipment is another space isolated from the world, but the storage bag is not, it is always connected to the outside world, but the space inside is larger. β
As she spoke, Helen took out a bag and gave it to Mark, who opened the bag and swept it in, and the contents were immediately visible. There was nothing but a few dozen Swift Shadow Bees.
"It's amazing!" Mark said as he looked at the Swift Shadow Bees.
"HeyβI'll give you one!" Helen took out an empty storage bag from the storage space and handed it to Mark, "In the future, when traveling in the Shengwu Continent, there will be many friends, and it will not be difficult to meet warrior friends, so many wizards will also have a storage bag and raise some Swift Shadow Bees in it."
"Thank you, Helen!" Mark took the bag, and as for Swift Bee, he had to find it himself.
"You're my teacher, what are you talking about Xie?" Helen rolled her eyes and pulled Linda towards the lab. (To be continued.) )
