Chapter 51: The Inheritance of the Ancients
Mark led the elite of the academy to easily infiltrate the depths of the Poison Cloud Hills with the help of tunnels, launch a sneak attack, destroy the witch array in one fell swoop, and remove the poison clouds entrenched in the sky above the mountain range.
Immediately afterwards, the airship legion launched a blitzkrieg and parachuted a large number of wizards, under the attack of the opera house, the local small forces had no power to fight back, and were directly taken away by a wave, and the poisonous cloud mountain area was handed over.
In the end, under the gaze of Roman and other wizards, the floating city like a pin slowly descended, and the tip of the needle pierced into the interior of the mountain, marking the end of the war.
Years of preparation, all in an hour.
The next day, inside the floating city.
In the trading hall, in front of the task counter, Roman handed out the academy badge and said lightly: "Submit the task and settle the reward." ”
The counter took the badge and swiped it on the machine: "The basic reward is 50 magic stones, and due to outstanding performance, an additional 30 magic stones will be rewarded, please check!" ”
Roman took the payment, he is now worth tens of thousands of magic stones, and he really looks down on these dozens of them, so he asked again: "Is there a long-term mission to go out?" ”
A fierce spirit at the counter asked vigilantly, "Why are you asking this?" ”
Roman smiled faintly, took out the 80 magic stones he had just received, and said softly: "Don't ask why, tell me, these magic stones are yours." ”
Looking at the bright magic stone, the counter couldn't help but beat faster, this was worth her salary for several years, and after a little hesitation, she decisively accepted it, and then lowered her voice and said:
"I swore to the Eye of Judgment that I can't say much, and if you want to get this task, you have to go through your mentor."
"Understood, thank you!" Roman got the answer he wanted and turned to Zimbardo's lab, but was stopped by William halfway through.
He took out a piece of parchment, and said with a pained face:
"Roman, I opened the joints and finally got Claude's ancient inheritance, but this is just a recipe, I really don't know where he got those perverted ideas! It cost me 30 magic stones for this! ”
Then he said with a tangled face: "Although the thing is wrong, can it ...... Get reimbursed! ”
Because he didn't know that there was a password, William couldn't read the mystery on the parchment, but in advance, he assured that there was an ancient inheritance in it, and now it turned out to be a recipe, and according to the agreement, Roman could not pay the bill.
Roman took it, scanned the chip, easily cracked the password on it, and smiled with satisfaction: "Good job, 30 magic stones, right?" Here are 60 magic stones, hard work. ”
William took it excitedly, and Roman was about to leave when he was stopped by William again.
William hesitated, but finally said as if he had made up his mind:
"Roman, I don't know if you're free tonight, I'd like to treat you and Joss to dinner, of course... If you don't have time, forget it. ”
Roman stopped, tilted his head and thought about it, and finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, see you tonight." ”
Then he turned and walked away.
Roman is in a good mood at the moment, because the parchment has a lot of articles, recipes and secret words are just tricks, one deceives William, the other deceives Claude, but he can't deceive Roman with chips.
The real treasure is a bunch of bacteria that are invisible to the naked eye, they are attached to the parchment, fall into dormancy, and when they come into contact with Roman's overflowing spiritual power, they will be activated and reproduced.
Under the observation of the chip, the bacteria showed regular lines, and after comparison, it was found that the map of the northern wasteland was drawn, and one of the places was highlighted, which was likely to be the place of relic.
"There's one more reason to run away," Roman muttered to himself.
He went to Zimbardo's lab, knocked lightly on the door, and when he got permission, pushed the door in.
"Mentor, I'm back." Roman saluted respectfully.
Zimbardo put down the rune stone in his hand and said with a smile: "Good job Roman, the famine-hunting team specially praised you to me, without your contribution, the project would not have been completed so quickly." ”
"Thank you for the compliment, it's all the mentors who teach well." Roman responded with a smile, and then took out a list: "Mentor, I plan to exchange this knowledge." ”
Zimbardo took it and said with some surprise: "All my rune analysis!" There is also a full set of materials for advancing to a Level 3 Apprentice! It's not cheap! Are you sure you want to redeem? ”
Roman nodded, "Sure, now I don't lack magic stones." ”
"Alright then!" The mentor nodded: "A total of eight thousand magic stones." ”
Roman quickly checked out, got an engram, and said, "Mentor, I want to use a chance to ask questions." ”
Zimbardo nodded, "What do you want to ask?" ”
Roman organized his words and said slowly, "How can I take on a long-term away mission?" ”
"It seems that you are also aware of it," Zimbardo smiled: "That's right, martial law will soon be imposed in the Floating City, and our mentor has the right to issue a mission to let some genius students go out to take refuge, but..."
At this time, he changed his words: "Roman, you are not, although your promotion speed is a bit fast, but other than that, you have nothing else to do, and you are not qualified to go out to take refuge." ”
Roman was shocked by the fact that he wanted to make rune stones on the spot, but after thinking about it, rune stones were strategic materials, and it would not be good if he was forced to stay in charge of military production after showing his hand.
So he smiled and said, "Mentor, make a price, I believe that everything has its price." ”
Zimbardo thought for a moment and asked, "Where do you want to go?" ”
"The Virus Ecological Zone, the area ruled by the Bone Shattering Court..."Roman didn't think much about it, and immediately decided.
"Two thousand magic stones."
Zimbardo stared at the rune stone in his hand and wondered:
"I thought you would choose the territory of Finks, but I didn't expect to go so far, the Broken Bone Royal Court is the territory of the application faction, and there is no direct airship, have you thought about it?"
Roman immediately took out two thousand magic stones and said decisively: "Well, it's decided!" ”
Zimbardo handed Roman a scroll: "Take this to the task counter, they know how to do it." ”
Leaving the laboratory, Roman returned to the dormitory, manipulated the overflowing spiritual power, and linked the encapsulogram, when the chip sent a prompt:
"Ding! Discover the data interface, do you want to start the transfer? ”
"Yes!"
The next moment, a large amount of knowledge poured into his mind, and with the help of the super computing power of the chip, it was classified and stored in the memory area, and Roman instantly had a comprehensive understanding of the third-level apprentice.
Level 2 apprentices can manipulate the magic of nature and perform tricks.
The sign of becoming a third-level apprentice is to use spiritual power to construct a pseudo-magic matrix, use more efficient artificial magic, and get rid of the dependence on natural magic.
By using man-made magic to unleash powerful spells, the wizard is truly powerful.
But the reason why it is a pseudo-magic matrix is because the raw material of the matrix is spiritual power, but it is used to produce magic power, resulting in the matrix being in continuous disintegration as soon as it is born.
If left unchecked, the matrix will eventually disintegrate and disappear on its own, returning to the second-level apprentice.
To solve this problem, it is necessary to replace the mental power matrix with magic power, so that the pseudo-magic matrix becomes the true-magic power matrix, save mental power, and cast more powerful spells.
Has a True-Mana Matrix, which is an official wizard logo.
Roman's next step is to construct a new matrix in the meditation space.
After digesting the knowledge, Roman went to the trading area store again, spent three thousand magic stones, bought all the third-level witchcraft templates, and then walked towards the restaurant.
He promised William to have dinner with Joss tonight.
Entering the restaurant, Roman went to the reservation box, and after pushing the door in, Joss and William were chatting hotly, but basically William was talking and Joss was listening.
Roman smiled and said: "Before the appointed time, you arrived first, so in such a hurry to catch up?" ”
He glanced at Joss, noticed her badge, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Joss on your promotion to a second-level apprentice." ”
