Chapter 63 Extremely High Cost Cargo Ships

This place is not as dangerous as imagined, and there are no miscellaneous soldiers in ambush.

On the contrary, it is quite peaceful.

The air is so fresh that it smells almost invigorating.

Emerald green vegetation is found throughout the space. The trees grow straight and healthy, and a few still have clear fruits. Stout vines hovered around the wooden frames, and plants and trees were neatly arranged and grew in the ridges on the sides.

The only problem is ......

They are supposed to be at the bottom of the passenger ship, and the appearance of these things is therefore extremely abnormal.

Melissa put down the stance, ready-to-shoot knife and turned her head to look at the sides.

"What's that, Crew Resort?"

"Is that the point?" Austin sneered, "These are all living magical plants, and even if you can't see how rare they are and how harsh their growing conditions are, you should at least know that this place shouldn't have such things in the first place." ”

Captain Blue Eagle shrugged, "Seeing is believing. We descended from the cargo ship and came to this place after all, and of course we had to find a way to make some guesswork. It feels so incredible that you can learn from me and use your imagination. ”

Although the lack of interest in her expression was not visible at all, she probably wanted to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere.

After all, having received some hints from Kalman Fleming's boss in advance, Mogan could have thought of more possibilities. He also probably understood why there was such a noise here, and it must be not just for the light of illumination.

This green space should be the source of the so-called new source of cultivated plant materials.

It's just that Mogan didn't expect that they would grow on this ship from beginning to end, taking up a huge hidden space.

Plants in the wizarding world need daylight to grow, and magic may be able to produce alternative measures.

But this is Mogan's intellectual blind spot.

After all, magic that has no direct or utility value for him is basically no learning value.

Even the elves who originally specialized in light magic have passed away, and in fact, apart from the rather practical branch of healing magic, the other bells and whistles of light magic are of little value to Mogan.

Not to mention that the dragon's bloodline makes him almost never sick or injured.

So the shrewd merchant chose a clever approach and went straight to His Majesty.

There is a specialization in the art industry.

After listening to Mogan's speculation, Lucifer was as happy as ever to answer questions.

"The main limitation of light magic is the basic requirement of mana. Studying in your own attribute magic field, perhaps to the point where you can integrate low-level magic, you can start to test whether you have the talent for light magic. ”

Mogan pondered, "What are the other conditions besides this?" ”

After all, on top of the basic conditions, he might be able to give it a try.

The main thing is that it meets the standards, but it doesn't give it a try, and I always feel a bit of a loss.

"Integrity, selflessness, and kindness are the essential qualities of a light mage." Lucifer blinked, "It is said that only such a person can be recognized by the God of Light with a firm will, and finally have the ability to perform divine and great light magic. ”

As soon as the idea of dabbling in the game arose, Mogan decisively gave up this plan.

The main thing is that he is very self-aware, and feels that these adjectives are exactly the same as his own, and can only be said to be almost irrelevant, or it is better to ignore them.

Especially the second quality.

When you are a completely selfless businessman, you can't even make a lot of money even if you think about it.

His Majesty did not know this strange thought of him, and continued to explain, and the narrative finally came to the point.

"Simulating daylight is pretty basic to light magic. Anyone who knows a little light magic can imitate sunlight with pure magic. However, it is really not very practical, and it is generally only used when it is a weapon for a special species. ”

Half the time in the world is the sun hanging in the sky, and most people don't have the strange need to keep plants in the dark.

"What's the need to keep this going for the long haul? I mean running costs...... It's the resources that are spent on maintenance. ”

The theory proved to be feasible, and this time it was purely Mogan's own doubts.

"The mana consumed could be a little more. Because light magic requires pure mana, a large percentage of mages' magic is not pure enough and needs to be extra streamlined. If you use a magic crystal, you need to calculate it in detail. ”

Magic Crystals are special minerals that store mana, distributed in an indefinite and infinite amount, and every now and then a new mine will appear, and each country has a dedicated mining facility that controls the acquisition of this additional energy.

This kind of natural mine, which is no different from ordinary stones after the magic is exhausted, belongs to the type that is better than nothing for mages, but can help ordinary people use scrolls and activate magic, and it is hard currency for most people, and it naturally has a certain offer.

- Of course, the mages themselves can't artificially inject magic into this ore, otherwise there wouldn't be so many mages in the world who are quite short of money and try their best to work for others.

Lucifer also calculated for a while, and finally gave Mogan a string of numbers.

Mogan just felt that it really cost a lot of money.

"In fact, all signs now show that all the gods have passed away, and the God of Light is no exception." Lucifer was momentarily surprised, "So the so-called limits of light magic may not be absolute, only psychological effects remain. If you want to learn, you can actually try it too. ”

Mogan was not surprised by the deep meaning contained in this sigh.

It is known common sense that the Magic Continent is in an era dominated by human races but multitudes of all races.

Although the largest in distribution and population, the Terrans would never call themselves the only protagonists who occupy the continent. For the relationship between the tribes is not one of mutual domination and mutual benefit.

There is no longer a world in which there is enough to rule over the various races.

In the lessons of history, the few mages and scholars closest to the truth finally reached a consensus that the sudden death of the entire elven race was to a large extent a side proof of the fall of the gods.

As a race that is absolutely friendly to magic and protected by the gods, the extinction of the elves was too sudden. And they happened to be born of the gods, and they prayed to the gods for mercy every day before they died completely, but unlike the mysterious records in the history of the elves, they could not get any answer.

As a result, the ancient elven tree withered and died, and the entire elven clan turned into dust.

This is a tragic end that most people can understand.

At the time when the elves were prosperous, there were also great mages in their race, and even the targets of the pilgrimage of most mages - although their population was not large or small, they could never be called a weak race, but a powerful and respected race.

Decades ago, every country had elves who were good at healing light magic, and with such a connection, the elves who healed people's wounds naturally won a lot of favor.

At the same time as the elves were suffering, the other elves scattered on the two continents also seemed to be called by death, and at the same time, they sensed the loss of vitality and finally turned into dust.

This tragedy is also a constant reminder of the existing ethnic groups and a wake-up call for them.

Relying on the gods is by no means the rule of survival in the twin continents today, it is based on oneself.

After centuries of strife, the various ethnic groups have realized that fighting for territory in the form of war is not the key, and that peace can continue to develop.

Because of this, there is still a fairly harmonious relationship between the races today, except for a very small number of fierce races that do not even possess intelligence, but any race that has a little sanity and existence can maintain a relatively stable state of diplomacy.

"Speaking of which, maintaining this kind of spatial magic is not an easy task." Lucifer was still thinking deeply, and even found himself a job, "There are several ways I can think of, but the most economical is ...... Well, the possibility of cost, should be used with a special ore. ”

Cost.

The king also learned a little bit of merchant language, but not as naturally as Mogan.

At this moment, the tangled Austin had already walked to the ridge, ready to check what kind of growth method the plants inside were, what they were.

- He still thinks that the existence of this thing is really incredible, and he wonders if it is some kind of blinding method with all the color and smell, or maybe it is a more advanced, modified transfiguration technique.

"Actually, I think this kind of thing is quite practical." Melissa also heard the discussion on their side, and asked curiously, "How much does it cost to create such a different space?" ”

Some people raised possibilities, and Lucifer naturally did not skimp on exchanging knowledge.

"It's not a one-time performance thing. Space magic needs to be maintained for a long time, and the approximate cost depends on the size of the space-time ore, which should generally be similar to the diameter of the magic array......"

Lucifer spoke freely, and although Captain Blue Eagle instinctively had a bit of a headache about ingesting knowledge, he still tried to listen. Mogan was also watching, after all, this is also a matter of cost.

Caring about where the money goes, this can't rely on others, it's Mogan's own nature.

In the end, in fact, Lucifer could not come up with an accurate answer, but he also seriously gave the formula for calculating.

“…… Counting the situation that the ore reserves in time and space are sufficient is such a calculation method. It is necessary to consider the difference between the size of the existing space and the size of the base space - the so-called basic space is the result of the calculation of the platform magic array that we came down before corresponds to the current ground, shrinking to the same shape. ”

Melissa touched her chin and made the most professional assessment she could give.

"Just think about it."

Simple yet polite.

Lucifer couldn't figure it out for the time being, because he didn't personally see the size and shape of the magic array, he paid more attention to the content of the spell at that time, and he didn't take the initiative to remember the true size of the magic array, so he naturally lacked key data.

And there is another person who has a little bit of a habit of remembering all the key elements.

"Two thousand one hundred and nineteen gold coins...... Every day. ”

Standing aside, Mogan slowly reported the number.

His face was rather bad.
