Chapter 65: Ciric the Greedy for Money
A new life begins, Delin glances at the rising sun in the sky, and then walks in one direction with Qianglu. Over there, there lives a Holy Order Magician.
Just yesterday, after coming out of the Marquis of Mochi, Delin handed over 400,000 gold coins to Noyce, of which 100,000 was the cost of training for 24 Wind Knights in the next year, and the other 300,000 was the price for Delin to "buy" 6 level 14 knights from there, of course, this already included two years of commissions. In addition, Delin also bought a small courtyard in the small town of Redden and moved out of Redden Castle, because it was very close to Shylock's residence, which was convenient for him to study in the future, and he always felt uncomfortable in his heart when he lived in Redden Castle.
The town of Redden is about 5 kilometers away from the castle, and it is said that it is a small town, but it is not inferior to a large city, perhaps because it has no city walls, and people do not want to call it Redden City. In their eyes, the walls are useless, and in the heart of the Redden family, what do they need to guard against? This is the posture of the strong.
Ten minutes later, Delin found Master Ciric's residence. It's a nice little yard with a small river in the backyard.
"May I ask if Master Shirek is here? I'm Delin, and His Highness Rea asked me to learn magic from him. Delin asked a rickety old man, and at the same time he landed a green gold coin card.
"With me... Enter... Come. The old man quietly opened the door and led Delin to the outside of the small building. Motioning for Delin to stop, the old man knocked on the door three times, and after two seconds, pushed the door in, and then closed the door again.
Delin waited outside for two minutes, and just when he thought the other party might be lying to him, the small door opened automatically. "Come in!" a voice sounded in Delin's head. Is this a sound transmission technique? Delin was a little shocked!
Delin was about to go in with Qianglu. "He's out there!"
Delin had to let Qiang Lu wait for him outside, and then walked in alone, and then he was shocked by the layout inside. The first floor of the building is connected, and the windows are sealed from the inside, but there are dozens of magic lamps inside. It is filled with all kinds of experimental instruments, and there is a huge working platform, leaving only a few narrow aisles in the huge space. In the center of the room is an oval patio, next to which there are two pillars engraved with magic arrays, and on the ground there is a disc that coincides with the patio, and the magic array on it is very complicated.
"Don't touch anything, go to the magic frisbee, inject your mental power into it, and you can rise!" The voice sounded in Delin's head again.
Delin walked over to the disc with great interest, and then a large amount of mental power entered it. "Hum~!" The magic frisbee under his feet glowed strongly, and Delin felt the gravity increase suddenly, and then quickly flew upward. Oops! It's too fast! It didn't take more than a second for Delin to find himself rushing past the floor on the second floor.
The magic frisbee stopped, but Delin still smashed straight into the roof of the building under the effect of inertia! A burst of force shot in, dragging Delin and then dragging him in one direction. There was an old man standing there, wasn't it the old man who was pruning the flowers and grass just now?
"Stinky boy, you don't have to waste it so much to activate the magic array with your mental power! The old man looked at Delin, who was a little embarrassed, and scolded.
"How do I know! You don't make it clear! I thought I was using mental power to push myself up! How do I know that it was just to activate a magic array. Delin retorted.
"Are you an idiot? How can there be spiritual power that can propel matter? Except for some special substances. But if I have such a large piece of precious substance, I will still use it to teach you?!" The old man looked at Delin like an idiot again.
"Master Cirek! You are amazing! You have discovered this! I hope you can teach me patiently. "Lose the smile. Delin took out a gold coin card again and handed it over, but instead of green, it was a lovely blue.
Sure enough, when he saw the gold coin card, Master Ciric's face looked much better. "Yes, you're a little less talented, but you're smart enough to learn a lot. But there are some rules I need to tell you about. First, you can't move anything downstairs that you can't move, and you can flip through the books upstairs as long as you can break the seal, and second, you can only stay with me for half a day and ask only three questions. If you want to ask more questions, you will need to pay extra coins. Thirdly, you can come in and read a book when I am not there, but you must give me the garden outside. Ciric explained his rules, "Do you have anything to ask?"
"Yes! What is the power of the mage?" Delin asked the first question.
Ciric had a look of disappointment on his face, he had wanted Delin to ask questions about the rules, but he didn't expect to get to the point from the beginning.
"Sit down!" Ciric sat down, then gestured to the seat opposite. "It's a complicated question, and you don't understand it. I can only say that magic is more natural and affinity than vindictiveness, and more in line with the so-called laws. I don't understand the law, so I can use this explanation. But I can correct one of your current wrong ideas, the power of a magician lies in the control and use of magical power, not in how large your spiritual power is, and it is a waste to pursue too much spiritual power. No matter how much spiritual power you have, you can't have more than the magic power of a mage, and you can't produce that much destructive power. Even if it is a psychic attack, it can achieve a surprising effect, but it is not as efficient as a magic attack. It's a cost-effectiveness issue. Magic has the highest cost-effectiveness ratio so far. Your mental power is huge, but the total amount of mana is too small!" Ciric pointed out Delin's characteristics, but he didn't know that Delin also wanted to have a lot of mana! However, the speed at which he could acquire mana was always limiting him.
"I see, it's like buying something with the same amount of gold coins, you can buy 10 units with magic, you can buy 8 with Dou Qi, and you can only buy 2 with mental attack. I need to boost my mana as soon as possible to get it to the maximum amount of my mental power that can cast spells. Delin said.
"Yes, that's right. What else do you need to ask?" said Ciric nodded.
"How can I get my magic so quickly?" asked Delin.
"Meditation, there is only one way, of course, there is also the extraction of the magic power in the magic crystal, which is more expensive, but the speed is relatively fast. Ciric replied.
"Then how can I not extract a magic crystal as fast as meditation?" Delin asked, pulling out a magic crystal.
"No way! you can show me the sample first!" Shirek shook his head affirmatively.
Delin held the crystal in his hand, and a trace of spiritual power shrouded it.
"You idiot, didn't your teacher teach you how to use magic crystals?" "Ciric jumped up in anger, pointing at Delin's fingers and shaking, which was truly outrageous.
"I don't have a teacher!" said Delin innocently.
Hearing this, Ciric could only shake his head weakly. "I ask you, how did the magic get in?"
"How do I know?" asked Delin, blankly.
"Think about it! Since the crystal is used to store magic power, it must have the effect of isolating the loss of magic power! Then it will not be easy to inject magic power directly into it, so you need to open a small hole in it, but in order to prevent the magic power from flowing out, you need a spiritual power seal to block this opening! Open this seal in order to absorb it quickly, understand! You can't have a long brain? Your way of thinking is too limited! You don't have any logical ability at all!" Ciric was obviously very angry, if it weren't for the face of His Highness Leia, or the face of those gold coins, it was estimated that Delin would be thrown out by him.
When Delin heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned! Yes, this is a very simple thing, why didn't I think of it? Could it be because he only held it in his hand when he saw that Frenel used it? So I tried it, and sure enough, there was a small spiritual seal, which was not easy to find in a position closer to the inner end. With a slight @ impact with mental power, it cracked, and then the magic began to radiate, and it was no longer the feeling that vaguely seemed to seep out, and this feeling was pleasant.
"Boy, for the sake of you giving money so happily, I would like to give you another word of advice, don't treat the magic in the magic crystal in that relaxed and casual way, but absorb it thoroughly like meditation to have an effect. Ciric saw how Delin had absorbed the magic and spoke.
"Why?" Delin asked.
Ciric was silent. Delin understood what he meant, and took out a green gold coin card and handed it over.
"The way you use Mana Crystals is the wrong way, and more mana is spent on restoring mana rather than expanding the total amount of mana. It's like if you fill water with a fish belly, and you don't use force, you can only fill it on the original basis, and if you squeeze it hard, it will expand its volume. See? The mana you absorb is not as thoroughly absorbed as meditation, and it will not achieve the purpose of increasing the total amount of mana. "There are four more questions. ”
10,000 gold coins can only buy 5 questions, so expensive! Delin couldn't help but feel a lot of pain in his heart, knowledge is money!" I will keep those questions for the time being, and I will ask them later. ”
"Yes, but only this morning. If you don't want to waste time, you can go find some books to read, which will be good for you. Ciric said.
"Thank you!" After saying that, Delin continued to absorb the magic power in the crystal, 10 minutes! A unit of mana disappeared! Delin was a little crying and laughing, it used to take at least 50 hours to absorb a magic crystal by himself! And nearly half of it was used to replenish the mana, not to increase the mana. Fortunately, the speed of his absorption was slow, and he didn't consume many magic crystals in total, otherwise he would not have died of heartache!
Breaking open his eyes again, he realized that Ciric had disappeared and should go down to do his experiments. Delin came to the bookshelf, looked at the vast number of books, and chose to start with the lowest. The seal is a simple magic structure, and with the excellent control of mental power, the required magic structure is quickly constructed, and then printed on it, and it is easy to open.
Delin turned into a little mouse that fell into a rice tank, greedily absorbing everything in the ocean of magical knowledge, and the real magical world officially opened its doors to him. Compared to the magic books that can be purchased outside, I don't know how strong it is! Whether it is systematic, or understanding, and way of thinking, it is much better. It used to be like fishing in the river, but now it's fishing with a net, and it's a completely different feeling.
Towards noon, Delin asked the last question and left satisfied. However, Ciric is also very satisfied, not to mention the 300,000 he received from Leia yesterday, and today he received another 120,000 gold coins. In the future, he should find more and more comprehensive books to put there, so that he can ask more questions. With a mage's obsession with magic, there is no need to worry about him giving up halfway, only about whether he has enough gold in his pocket.
On the way back, Delin went to the Lorente family's shop, and used the voucher that Haier gave him, and passed some information to Haier, which roughly meant: I have a barony on the territory of the Redden family, and I don't plan to develop it immediately, but I need to make some infrastructure, such as a castle that can be lived in, I need you to send a professional to come, and I need your family to provide raw materials and more discounts. In addition, 10 million has arrived!
Delin didn't have 10 million gold coins, and now he only had less than 200,000 left, but he had four or five cubic meters of red gold nuggets in his hand. Delin doesn't plan to use them yet.
