In the lab, Roman pointed to the catalog and said to Zimbardo:

"Mentor, I want to buy: the four runes of Lava Ray, Thunder and Lightning, Poisonous Oil Swamp, and Cat Grace, as well as their interpretation!"

These four runes correspond to the four major functions of single attack, negative lag, area attack, and auxiliary movement.

The combination of four runes greatly enhances Roman's survivability in the Mana District.

Zimbardo was surprised: "Among these runes, some of them have a three-dimensional structure, and the witchcraft circuit goes deep into the magic stone, and you haven't even learned the two-dimensional fireball runes, so are you sure to study them?" ”

Roman nodded and said, "I'm sure." ”

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Zimbardo no longer persuaded him, and nodded:

"Since you insist, then okay, the mutation students have the right to trade, according to the market price, these runes and analysis have a total of 100 magic stones."

Roman readily paid 100 magic stones, and after Zimbardo took it, as if he was unwilling, he finally persuaded:

"I'll give you a suggestion, first eat the fireball runes thoroughly, and then delve into other runes, you can chew too much to chew, and it will also cause indigestion."

Roman knew that the professor was kind, and replied sincerely and politely, "Thank you, professor, I will take care of it." ”

But in his pocket, there were fifteen fireball runes, and with the help of chips, no one knew fireball runes better than him.

Saying goodbye to Zimbardo, Roman went to the library and said to the librarian:

"I want to transcribe the three books "Overview of Tricks", "Analysis of Trick Models", and "Application of Tricks", and open another transcription room."

The transcription room not only has ergonomic chairs, thermostatic witch arrays, but also bathroom equipment, beds, and is basically a hotel.

The books in the library were not borrowed, so the wizards had to copy the books, and the thick tome was often copied for several days, so in order to facilitate the rest of the wizards, there was a transcription room.

In fact, there are ordinary borrowing services, and the fees are much lower, but Roman still chooses the transcription room, because he is not short of money now, but to ensure privacy, and it is more important to cover up the chip.

The librarian was dozing off, and when he heard this, he opened his eyes and said impatiently, "Three books, 30 magic stones in one hour." ”

"I'm going to have an hour." Roman handed out 30 magic stones and said lightly.

The difference between a second-level and first-level apprentice, in addition to the overflow of spiritual power, is also a witchcraft trick.

The second-level apprentice manipulates the psychic power to sketch a model of a spell in the meditation space, and then casts a trick, which is not lethal and the model is extremely simple, so it is called a trick.

Although the juggling is weak and the model is simple, it is the basis of many formal witchcraft, and in order to promote the third-level apprentice, juggling is a compulsory subject for each second-level apprentice.

For example, the fireball spell model is a complex lighter, and the fireball is a second-level trick that allows the finger to function as a lighter.

The three books that Roman borrowed are known as the "Three Treasures of Tricks", and as long as you eat them thoroughly, you can basically master the second-level tricks.

In the transcription room, Roman opened the book and ordered: "Chip, scan the record, transfer the memory area......"

"Ding! Task established, start scanning ......"

After a while, countless knowledge poured into his mind, and under the super computing power of the chip, Roman easily ate the knowledge and transmitted the memory area.

At this time, only ten minutes had passed, and after the integration was completed, Roman did not plan to return the book immediately, but tried to build a magic model according to the records in the book.

He manipulated his mental power to sketch a simple geometric figure in the meditation space, and then snapped his fingers, and a pinch of flame jumped into his hand.

This jumping flame is not an ordinary flame, but a flame made of magic.

Magic fills the earth like air, and wizards use their spiritual power to pry magic to perform sorcery.

However, wild magic has a natural will, and will reject the manipulation of mental power, resulting in extremely low utilization, so it can only be used to perform the lowest level of tricks.

The hallmark of being promoted to a third-level apprentice is to successfully build a magic matrix, produce your own magic, get rid of your dependence on wild magic, and be able to perform stronger witchcraft.

"Ding, ding, ding!" At this time, the wall clock on the side rang a piercing bell, which meant that the hour had come and it was time to return the book.

Roman closes the book, leaves the reading room, returns the book, and heads to the mission hall.

To get to the black market, you must first reach a nearby fortress, to get to the fortress, you need to take an airship, and to get to the airship, you must first take on a mission.

The quest hall is full of people, and wizards are busy everywhere, some handing in tasks at the counter, while others are heading to the store with quest rewards to convert quest earnings into strength.

Roman looked up and saw several huge displays hanging at the top of the hall, scrolling with information about the mission, and at first glance, he thought he was in the ticket hall of the airport.

"Chip, scan records, establish screening tasks, filter keywords: Hunting Team, West Pole Fortress, Mourning Mountains, ......"

"Ding! Task established, start scanning ......"

After a while, a prompt came from the chip: "Ding! After screening, the results are as follows......"

The chip lists sixteen tasks, Roman looks at them one by one, excluding tasks that pay very well, because the higher the pay, the more dangerous the task, Roman's purpose is to find the black market, not to earn compensation.

After some exclusion and several comparisons, Roman went to the counter and handed out the academy badge: "Hello, I want to sign up for mission No. 338." ”

Mission 338: Manipulate the mutant beast and participate in the tunnel construction of the West Pole Fortress for two months, during which the treatment is the same as that of a member of the Hunting Team.

Requirements: Level 2 apprentice, bold enough, pass the assessment of the hunting team. Assessment content: arrive at the designated place within the specified time. Reward: 50 Magic Stones.

With a businesslike attitude, the counter staff took Roman's badge, swiped it on the sensor, and said lightly: "Roman, the second-level apprentice, gather at the designated place in three days, is there any problem?" ”

Roman took the address, which was the remains of a battlefield outside the floating city, and he was about to pass through the ruins of a city in the middle, and he thought to himself: "Is this the assessment..."

Then he promised, "No problem, I'll arrive on time." ”

Roman made a slight estimate that it would take at least two days to arrive at the meeting point now, which is still on the premise that everything goes well, and if there is something in the middle, it will take longer.

Therefore, as soon as Roman finished the formalities, he immediately went to the store to buy water, food, horses, maps and other necessary materials, and also got a giant sword like a door panel.

Then, he returned to the dormitory, lifted the bed board, opened the hidden compartment under the bed, took out a box, turned the code rotor on it, and after opening it, he checked the nearly two hundred rune stones in it one by one.

Lava Rays, Fields of Lightning, Toxic Oil Swamps, Cat Grace...... A feast for the eyes.

Unlike Fireball Runes, these runes are more complex, more difficult to craft, and some are three-dimensional structures, which are very rare.

Roman estimated that they were worth at least tens of thousands of magic stones, but with the help of chips, they were easy to make.

Closing the lid and lifting the box, Roman leaves the dormitory and heads to the exit of the floating city.

It was said that this was the first time he had left the academy from the ground.
