024. On the eve of the assessment
Call!
A small fireball flies towards the dummy's target.
Boom!
The fireball hits the dummy's target and explodes, instantly blowing the wooden dummy to pieces.
It's amazing!
After the basic meditation method breaks through the Dacheng level, the mana increases, and the power of the spell becomes much stronger.
The defense of the Invisible Armor has also been greatly increased.
When cultivating, the retention rate of magic elements has increased from 40% to 60%, and the cultivation efficiency has increased significantly.
Levi turned and left the spell training ground.
He walked towards the outside of the Mage's Tower, ready to have a good meal to celebrate.
"There are still more than 20 days left for the apprenticeship assessment, and this time we should win the first place."
The first place in the apprentice assessment will be rewarded with a bottle of potion, and Levi is bound to win.
Now that the entire Mage Tower knows the name of his genius, there is no point in hiding his strength.
It's better to sit on this name and get more resources.
Levi walks into the McNuggets Tavern, located on the border of Downtown and Uptown.
"A roast chicken, a small salad and a cup of hot milk tea."
Levi expertly ordered, then sat in the corner and waited for the waiter to serve the food.
He has come to this tavern many times to eat.
Meals at the McNugget Tavern are cheap, affordable, and tasty.
Usually there are many professionals who gather in the McNugget Tavern to eat, drink and have fun.
It is said that the owner of the tavern is a retired bard professional.
After a while, the waiter placed the food in front of Levi.
Levi listened to the chatter of the people in the tavern as he ate.
"The price of grain has risen again, and it is nearly five times more expensive than it was in the winter last year."
"Alas! I hope this winter will pass soon, otherwise I really don't know how many people will starve to death. ”
"This year is really difficult, there are orcs outside the city, and the convoy transporting grain has been robbed repeatedly, thanks to the opening of the granary by the city lord's mansion and the grain stored in the warehouse, so that everyone has not run out of food."
"It's more expensive, and there's still something to eat."
"It's still the city lord who is kind-hearted, and the price of food has risen to such a high level, and he is willing to distribute relief porridge free of charge in Xiacheng District."
……
Li Wei silently ate roast chicken, drank hot milk tea, and ate two bites of salad from time to time to relieve oiliness.
Sometimes it's not a good thing to know too much.
The ordinary people of Maple Leaf City think that the city lord is a good person and a good person.
Levi understood—the lord of the city was making a fortune.
What grain convoy has been robbed repeatedly, all of them are acting.
How could the City Lord's Mansion keep transporting food from the outside world into the city without catching the murderer?
It's a good idea to put the blame on the orcs.
The main reason is that some time ago, an operation to encircle and suppress orcs was launched, and many people knew that there were orcs outside the city.
This is a good reason for the City Lord's Mansion to dump the pot.
In addition, there is another suspicion that some smart people can see.
How big is the warehouse in the City Lord's Mansion?
How can we continue to produce enough food to sustain the people of the city?
People who are smart enough to this extent will naturally not tell others about their doubts, so as not to cause trouble.
In this kind of world where smart people are wise enough to protect themselves, ordinary people can only be kept in the dark and continue to praise the kind city lord.
The lord of the city also played a good hand.
On the one hand, he made a lot of money by taking advantage of the winter food disaster, and on the other hand, he won a lot of people's hearts by distributing relief porridge.
At this time, even if someone is willing to stand up and reveal the truth, no one may believe it.
Knowing that all this was just a fake show directed and acted by the City Lord's Mansion, Li Wei still couldn't figure it out.
There should be no need for transcendent forces such as the Warrior Guild and the Professional Guild to get involved in this kind of thing.
For them, this is not harmful or beneficial, but at least it is also unprofitable.
Something that is completely unbeneficial, why should they help the City Lord's Mansion to do it?
Unless there is something else behind it.
After eating, Levi paid.
"Hello, a total of 95 copper coins." The waiter said.
Levi put down a silver coin and got up to leave the McNugget Tavern.
The waiter said with a smile on his face: "Guests walk slowly, welcome to come next time." ”
Prices are rising everywhere, and prices are flying up the sky.
On the way back to the Mage Tower, Levi saw the guards of the City Lord's Mansion distributing relief porridge at the junction of the upper and lower cities.
The people who received the porridge lined up from the gate of the upper city to the gate of the city.
As far as the eye can see, the crowd fills the streets, and it is dark.
Even the city guards came to maintain order.
Levi glanced at it a few times, then turned and left to return to the Mage Tower.
Food prices skyrocketed, but it had little impact on the Mage Tower.
In the next few days, after Levi finished cultivating mana every day, he practiced spells.
After the mental power is completely exhausted, he snuggles up in his room and reads books to understand the basic abilities and career systems of various professions.
He was preparing for the battle ahead.
On the tenth day, the potions ran out.
Levi's mana cultivation speed slowed down considerably.
After thinking about it, he finally found Gu Ze.
"Mr. Furuzawa, I want to buy a bottle of primary potion."
Gu Ze did not dissuade Li Wei this time, he said: "A bottle of primary potion in the mage tower is worth 5 contributions, and one contribution is worth 1 gold coin. ”
Levi took out five gold coins and handed them to Gu Ze.
Gu Ze showed surprise, he didn't expect Levi to be so rich.
He also wanted to lend Levi five contributions.
Gu Ze accepted the gold coin and did not ask him how he came here.
"Come back to me tomorrow."
The next day, Levi received a primary-level potion from Guze.
Slightly different from the bottle Rena's gift, the primary potion that Guze gave him was pale green.
The effect is pretty much the same.
After pouring three drops of potion into his mouth, Levi hurriedly stuffed the bottle tightly to prevent the potion from volatilizing.
He didn't know the price of the potion before, and he used it rather casually.
Now that I know that a bottle of potion is worth 5 gold coins, I feel a pain in my flesh every time I cultivate.
After two days, Li Wei adjusted to use two drops of potions a day according to his cultivation speed.
Spend more time practicing spells.
In the blink of an eye, winter is coming to an end.
February 28.
It hasn't snowed since five days ago.
Every day the snow is melting and thinning, and today it has been exposed to the ground.
Levi was standing in a clearing, the snow around him had significantly decreased, and the snow had begun to melt.
He raised his right index finger and cast a spell intently.
In three seconds, a spark swells at your fingertips and turns into a fireball.
Levi pointed his finger at the clearing and made a gesture to shoot.
"Bang!"
The fireball flew out and hit the ground, exploding violently.
When the light and fire dissipated, a large pit nearly half a meter deep appeared on the ground.
Compared to the original Little Fireball Technique, the power of the Small Fireball Technique has now increased significantly.
Levi looked to the ground, a few lines of writing outlined by the water from the melting snow.
【Basic Meditation Method (Daesung)】663/4000
【Small Fireball (Tier 0 Mastery)】1623/2000
[Invisible Armor (Tier 0 Mastery)] 212/2000
After more than half a month of hard work, the cast time of the Little Fireball Spell was reduced from five seconds to three seconds.
"Tomorrow is the apprentice assessment, I hope everything goes well!"
