Chapter Twenty-Six: Elder Tang's War Preparations

The Sanzang family is mainly cannon fodder, and if it really starts, the other party prepares some fireball spell blizzard staff, and it will be solved in three or five clicks, which will definitely not work. Therefore, Mike needs to make some preparations to upgrade and go to the west to move a rescue soldier to borrow two magic weapons.

Warlock upgrades can be said to be all in place. When he built the Channeling Circle a month ago, Mike's bloodline had already reached the point where it could be activated again, but he didn't want to waste time adjusting his bloodline and didn't want to activate it randomly, so he was ready to wait and see.

Mike's Pico Essence Warlock bloodline is very easy to stimulate illusion and enchantment mental spells, as far as 6th order spells are concerned, even if there is no mage spell comparison, it can be adjusted and accurately activated within five days; it is more difficult to stimulate other types of illusion or other types of enchantment spells, and it will take half a month to half a year if there is no comparison of mage spells; it is more difficult to stimulate other spells, and it will take a year and a half to relatively easy prophecy spells and plastic energy elemental classes; the most difficult necromantic system cannot be activated at all without comparison, so it is simply banned。

The 6th-order spell that Mike inspired before was a shadow travel of the illusion type of shadows, and as the inheritor of the Gunether Empire, he must learn the spell that can go to the shadow plane where the Gunether Empire's refuge is located. Mike thinks that it may take a long time for a mage to learn the 7th plane movement and ban illusions, so it is better to use the warlock spell to stimulate shadow travel. There was another consideration at that time, that is, if there was no way to teleport back to the surface, go to the shadow plane first, and then borrow the way back from Netherworld City.

Under normal circumstances, a Warlock can only activate a maximum of 3 Tier 6 spells. The second path that Mike wants to stimulate is the dissociation technique of the change system, a single strong kill spell, and it is very difficult to stimulate the bloodline of the Picojing Warlock. Now he wants to level up, but he can't compare, so he can only settle for the next best thing, choosing between illusion and enchantment. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it can effectively make up for the inconvenience caused by the mage's ban on illusion and enchantment.

In the end, the choice was to persuade the emblem. Attaching the spell energy to an object, after triggering, it can continue to release a group of enchanting monsters within a certain range, Mike thinks that this spell is very helpful in terms of preaching, and the fly in the ointment is that it takes about 10 minutes to cast a spell, which is a bit laborious.

As for the mage hardware, it can't be upgraded for a while before the heat is up. However, software upgrades can sometimes be much more effective than hardware upgrades.

Back in January of last year, Mike and Master Zevahid made a deal to exchange the Elemental Mastery for a full set of red-robed mysticism. In April last year, he gave the elemental control to Master Zevahid, and also asked Master Zevahid to tattoo a subcutaneous magic pattern on his back and study in the Dragon Palace for a while. However, due to his limited strength, he only learned to participate in the ring law and the part of his own enhancement, and the part of leading the ring law and drawing the magic pattern did not dabble in.

Now, Mike is so strong that he is fully capable of learning to lead the Tour de France, even at the pace of his disguise.

"Kukuku, little Mike, you're making amazing progress. ”

"A hard work, a harvest. ”

Master Zevahid choked. Little Mike and Sal can get along, and sure enough, there is a reason.

"Have you mastered your elementals?"

"The conversion from electricity to fire to electricity was completed last year, and the conversion from electricity to ice and ice to electricity was also practiced in May, and I also have some clues, but I am afraid it will take a year or two to fully practice. Alas, as soon as this man dies, he is slow to learn. Little Mike, you learn so fast, maybe you can use other methods to prolong your life, but don't be busy dying. Master Zewahid sighed.

Mike can't spit it out, why do you Dragon Palace people like to say that turning into a lich is death. Don't worry, I'm not going to die, I'm not right, I'm already a lich, it's still wrong, I'm still alive, and I have children......

"I'm here to learn the art of leading the Tour Law, and I'm probably going to bother the master for a while. ”

"Don't bother, don't bother, it's been said a long time ago, Kukuku......" Master Zewahid waved for Mike to follow, "I heard, you made something underground?"

"Yes. I can make one for you if you want, but it can only be used in places where the leylines are strong. Mike went to his study with the Master.

"Will you build what can be used on the surface?"

"No, it won't. Mike flatly denied it, "Obviously, I can't have made this kind of thing, and I just got some information by chance." ”

"I see, Kukuku......" Master Zewahid disagreed. He just asked casually about this kind of thing, and he didn't expect Mike to agree. Whether he will leave it alone or not, but since he has been able to come back through a secret base, I am afraid that he will never create a second one, so as not to lose his monopoly position.

"We're going to fight someone in a while, you already know about it, can you help when the time comes?" Mike was ready to solve the problem of moving the rescuers and software upgrades.

"Library, Library, Library...... Danger is not dangerous, what good can I do?"

"They don't even have anyone who can use Rank 6 spells, so what's the danger. Mike pouted. Although almost everyone in the dark elves can use a few spells, it is mainly because they live long enough and are rich enough, and in terms of talent, they are not much stronger than humans. But the difference in numbers is gone, as the saying goes, there are eight generations of elves, and the population ratio is very different to 1:50, which leads to the so-called once-in-a-century genius of the elf species to release human beings here may not be able to become lichs. "We bombarded and killed those half-hangers under the protection of thousands of cannon fodder and a large number of elites, and the victory was certain, but we were afraid that they would not surrender if they did not know the times. In terms of remuneration, I wonder what the master wants?"

Master Zevahid vomited in his heart, you don't know the 6th order spell, and you dare to say that others are half-hearted. But in this case, there is really no danger, even if the battle situation is unfavorable, it is easy to run, as for the reward, "Ninth Order Spell Information." ”

"I'm afraid this ......" Mike Khan paused, the master is too real, there is no danger to ask for this kind of reward for a fight.

"Library, Library, Library...... Then you might as well give me an elder in your new family. ”

"It's easy, but isn't Ryugu bad?" Mike said.

"It's good, I'm not trying to teach you things to be afraid of accidents, I want to have more back roads, Kuku Kuku ......"

Mike secretly vomited: I think all your goblin apprentices can participate in the Tour de France, and I guess the leak is not once or twice.

Master Zewahid seemed to see through Mike's thoughts, and continued: "Although my apprentices have red robes and magic patterns, they can also participate in the ceremony, but those things are mainly for the service of the mentor, and they are neither the core nor have much independent role and are not able to continue to spread, so there is usually no fuss. The leadership ring method you have to learn is the key, and drawing the magic pattern is the top secret of the top secret, but you must be careful, Kuku Kuku ......"

"Well, when do you want to contact me, I'll take you there. ”

"Can't you let me go by myself?"

"You shouldn't have asked me that, didn't Sermena say you were going to have a spell exchange?"

"Kukukukuku, those guys are so stingy that they won't even give it to an elder. ”

"I see. Mike nodded. It's best that way, so that you don't find yourself able to get there safely and come to me in trouble.

In addition to their own people, only Mike can use the Tesron family's positioning circle. The most important reason why they were willing to let Mike use it was that they couldn't stop him from using it unless they stopped it. Mike's spiritual imprint was in it from the beginning, and according to him, it was the basis for the normal operation of the magic circle, and after erasing it, the magic circle would not work, and he would not be able to repair it.

Whether this statement is true or not is only known to Mike himself, and the Tesren family does not dare to actually verify it. Anyway, no one in the family currently has the ability to go to the surface on his own, and only Chief Mage Nimes has the ability to travel through the shadows on his own, which is not a safe and reliable way to return, and if he wants to trade, he must rely on Mike, who can travel freely, and he can only use it.

"In that case, my positioning jewelry is for you to use. But firstly, the distance of that thing is too short, and secondly, I often use it, so I'm afraid it's better to let me take you there. ”

"Then let's do it for now, and more on that later. Master Zevahid nodded. Jewelry positioning is also an option, but it is very bad, the main thing is that Mike said that those problems, when you want to use the jewelry is not necessarily there. Another small problem is that the master has banned the illusion spells, so he can't travel through the shadows, and he can't accurately transmit by penetrating the leyline radiation by himself. Anyway, you can think about it slowly, and then occupy the positioning jewelry first.

"How's the talk about the spell exchange now?"

"Library, Library, Library...... Most of the time it is impossible to negotiate. They won't give me what I want, and what they do don't do much to me. ”

Mike knew it right away. Although there are a lot of low-end talents in the Taysren family, there is not even one who can use a 7th-order spell, and even if there is high-end information, there will not be too much. Dragon Palace has two high-end talents who can use 8th-order spells, but there is a shortage of mid-end talents. The two sides should be able to complement each other, but the problem is that the Dragon Palace doesn't seem to pay attention to the cultivation of mid-range talents, otherwise it would not have cultivated a total of four people who can use fourth-order spells in addition to the production kobold warlocks - Sermena who practiced the fifth-order druid spell after leaving the mercenary group, Laxis who ran away by himself, and the two dwarves trained their own dwarven priests.

Ryugu also has their reasons for doing this, maximizing the benefits. With the Red Dragon Lady and the two masters guarding it, the safety of the Dragon Palace can be guaranteed, and only a small number of capable helpers are needed to take charge of specific affairs. Druids have a longer training cycle, and the difficulty is longer and higher than that of high-level mages, and unless they are particularly potential, it is better to only teach 2-level spells. The caster of this level has a relatively large use, in addition to stripping soul fragments, the priest can heal, the druid can maintain trees, and the mage can ring the spell to increase the caster's level and build equipment, which is more "cost-effective".

However, Mike is not qualified to talk about any cost performance now, he still has almost no instructors, and there is a great demand for mid-range talents, and he is counting on the Tesren family to train talents for the mercenary group, Sanzang Town, and the new family, so he very much hopes to promote the exchange of spells.

"I wonder if the master is interested in the 8th order of the spell system?"

"Oh, I'm a little interested, but well, I'll have several 8th-order spells, and it's not too interesting to have one more or less, I still want to learn 9th-order spells, Kuku Kukuku......"

"Rank 9, this is difficult. Mike frowned.

Mike has a lot of things to do, and before heading out, he and Mr. Owo divide them into four categories: top secret, confidential, secret, and general.

Top secret is Earth Knowledge, Owo's unique experience, and Mike's identity as a traverser, and only he and Owo can know. Goku only knew that Mike was a disciple of Owo, and he didn't know about the existence of the Traveler and Earth Knowledge at all. In addition, Mike believes that his identity as a disciple of the Grand Arcanist is also top secret.

Secrets are the cutting-edge knowledge of the Atlas and the secret art of the Ancient Nester mastered by the Grand Arcanist, and others can know and use the products of knowledge, but it is impossible to obtain the knowledge itself, such as the underground teleportation circle and the positioning jewel.

Secrets are the high-end knowledge mastered by the Grand Arcanist, and spells of the 7th to 9th levels and some ordinary secret arts belong to this category, which can be spread depending on the situation. The elemental manipulation that Mike used to fight Master Zevahid's red-robed mystic technique falls into this category.

Generally, it is general knowledge and spell materials below the 6th level, as long as there is something good, Mike can spread it to anyone.

Although Mike could spread Tier 9 spells to Master Zevasid, he felt that it was too much of a fuss to do so, and he could do the same thing by giving the Tesren family Tier 7 spell materials.

"Alas, forget it, 8th step is 8th order, I'll just take it. Master Zevahid said, he also realized that Mike could achieve his goal with the 7th order spell data, so he had to lower the price, after all, the 8th order was already in a monopoly state and it was extremely difficult to obtain.

"It's great. Mike was overjoyed, "I have a brother-in-law named Adrian, whom Sermena also knows, and is learning a fifth-order spell, so I guess this exchange will help him a lot. By the way, since you said that the red robe magic pattern and participation in the ritual are not particularly important, is it inconvenient for Tesren and them to learn it too? ”

Master Zewahid rolled his eyes, it's convenient for you to ring the law, and I can't run underground at any time, but it's really not a big deal.

"My apprentices stay in the Dragon Palace all day and don't go anywhere, of course it doesn't matter, but I can't control where the Taylon people want to go, it's very dangerous. ”

"In this case, I originally wanted to give the master a copy of the 7th Order Advanced Detection Technique as compensation, since it is dangerous, forget it. "In a year or two, Mike will be able to draw magic tattoos himself, and the same will be true for choosing someone from a new family.

"Alas, forget it, little Mike, you don't even have an apprentice, and you can't use it even if you learn to lead the ring law, so I'll help you again. However, the teaching location can't be in the Dragon Palace, Kuku Kuku ...... "Master Zevahid thinks it's quite difficult to obtain a 7th-order spell, and it's good to learn one more, anyway, it's just a gesture."

"It's great. Mike was overjoyed, "It is more convenient for the beginner Tour to teach them, and it can also prepare for war." ”

"No problem, but I'm going to get ready, come and pick me up in a few days, Kukuku......" Master Zevahid readily agreed. Even the tattoo belt should only be taught for a month or two, and if you are still worried about being found on the surface, it doesn't matter if you go underground.

"One more thing, I'd like to borrow some standard soul shards from you. ”

"Kukukukuku, you have to pay it back. The master counted some of them according to Mike's request, and they were all produced by kobold warlocks who "have higher economic value".

"Don't worry. Then I'll go to the other stuff first. ”

After leaving the Dragon Palace, Mike teleported to the hall of Ruins Town to prepare for the inspection work, only to be stunned to find that the exit had been blocked by a boulder, but fortunately the place where he teleported was deliberately cleared, otherwise it might be dangerous.

"Shortly after you and the Order left last year, the people of Santilburg pushed down a large amount of boulder and sand, and turned this place into this. His subordinates are incompetent, and they are willing to be punished. No. 8 Luken wept bitterly and fell to the ground to plead guilty. He wept bitterly from the bottom of his heart, but not because he felt ashamed of his trust in Captain Mike, but because he felt that there was probably no hope for this relic town.

From Brisa's mouth, Luken had long known that if you want to find intelligent creatures from here to the underground for a month or two, I am afraid that only goblin kobolds can be found. As a result, the town of Relic cannot trade with limited space, and it is difficult to have any development. Although he has always encouraged himself to work hard and not give up, he already feels in his heart that this place can probably only be like this, which is why Mike will be so out of shape when he sees him returning.

"Get up, it's none of your business. "It's good and safe now." ”

"But how can this develop......

"Luken, you have to understand that there are big ways to develop in space, and there are small ways to develop in small spaces. You've done a good job during this time, and you didn't give up easily because something had an accident. You continue to work here for now, and I'm thinking about what I should do here. ”

"Yes. My lord, I want to ask, how is the seaside camp now?" Luccan wiped away tears. Even if he didn't even know the name of Sanzang Town, he still had high hopes for Sanzang Town, a place that could become a prosperous town for non-human races, but it had been more than nine months since the town had lost contact with the outside world, and the latest news was in early November last year.

"Very well, there are already more than 8,000 people, and they are thriving. "It's just that most of them are goblin kobolds.

"My lord, I want to go back and see ......"

"Okay, you arrange the work here, I'll take you over when I leave, you stay there for half a month, look around and prepare the supplies you need here, and then come back with the supplies. ”

"Okay!" Lucan was very excited, and then hesitated, "Brissa and Mibo have been here for a long time, why don't you show them our home?"

Brissa is the god of the original ruins, and Mibo is the leader of the kobolds, and both of them are very strong and have their own supporters. Lucan was worried that he was not there, and that his men from Sanzang Town were not strong, so that there would be some chaos here.

"Yes. Mike didn't expect so much, he just felt that he should use the advanced civilization of Sanzang Town to attract the backward civilization of Ruins Town and improve the loyalty and sense of belonging of his subordinates.

"Brisa, who were you before, and when did you get here?" Mike wondered how she, a dark elf priest, could come over on her own.

Brissa and Mibo, as well as the officials of Relics Town, were there, but it was embarrassing to see Lucan crying and wiping away tears, and they never found a chance to speak.

"Faturi, a dark elven city. More than thirty years ago, the Warcraft riot led to the destruction of my family, and I fled here. Brissa was a little stunned. It's been thirty years, and she, once noble, has to work with slaves under the hands of the inferior race.

"Yo, the remnants of the former Second Family. I'll talk about Faturi 30 years ago, and I'll refer to it. "Mike had barely interacted with anyone outside of the Taylon family in Fathuri, and with the departure of the glamorous Saduril, his IQ had returned to normal and he wanted to learn more about the situation.

"As you wish. Brissa was shocked. From the "former Second Family" alone, it is known that this person has been to Faturi, and it seems that they have gone underground to find not only the city, but also their hometown.
